Chapter 103

As soon as he entered the door, Zhan Chen felt a gust of sharp metal Qi rushing towards him, causing his face to feel a slight stinging pain. However, as a metal attribute Qi cultivator, Zhan Chen felt very comfortable and began to observe what kind of world this was.

What entered his eyes was desolation. This world was full of swords, whether it was the ground or the ceiling, there were swords stuck into them.

However, Zhan Chen discovered that most of the swords were incomplete, some were even rusted. He did not know how many years had passed, but every sword seemed to have its own story, its own glory. But now, they were all gathered here, forming the second stage of the Metal Trial, the Sword Catacomb.

The door to the third floor was just opposite, it was only a hundred meters away from the entrance. However, within this hundred meters, there were nine disciples doing their best to advance. They were all metal attribute Qi cultivators, and most of them were disciples of the Golden Elephant Sect that Zhan Chen was familiar with.

"Look! It's Senior Brother Zhan! "One of the disciples was distracted and called out to the other disciple in front of him.

"Idiot, don't get distracted …" The disciple in front of him quickly reminded him.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Suddenly, a few broken swords beside them vibrated at the same time, forming a few Sword Qis. They exploded with lightning speed, each of them was equivalent to the full power attack of a Martial Master Perfection expert.

The two people who spoke hurriedly raised their swords to defend, but they did not react in time. They were hit by the swords and knelt on the ground with serious injuries.

Before the first wave subsided, another wave arose. More broken swords began to vibrate. The two looked at each other and shouted without hesitation, "Let's go!" Then, they activated the jade talisman in their hands and disappeared from the Sword Catacomb.

Zhan Chen observed carefully and discovered that the other disciples were also doing their best to defend against the continuous attacks from the Sword Catacomb. These attacks came from all directions, some even came from above, catching people off guard. To defend against all these attacks, not only did it require a high degree of concentration and sharp reflexes, it also required a good amount of strength.

Some of the weaker disciples found it difficult to defend against one attack, not to mention dealing with several Sword Qis at the same time.

Over time, Zhan Chen discovered another rule. The closer he got to the entrance of the third floor, the more Sword Qis the attacks became, and it became more difficult to move forward.

He finally understood why after such a long time, he could still find nine disciples staying on the second floor. It was because this short distance of a hundred meters was no less than a million miles for them.

Suddenly, he saw a white figure appear at the entrance of the third floor. It was — Of Li Jianchen!

Zhan Chen would never forget his talent. Even though he had defeated him in the Misty Wind Grand Ceremony, it was all because of the Eye of Dao and the Formless Golden Body Formula. Apart from these, he was nothing compared to Zhan Chen.

At this moment, Li Jianchen was also facing the final test of this trial. A three meter long sword stood erect at the entrance of the third trial. Although it was damaged, it still emitted a fierce aura that caused people to shrink back. At this moment, the sword began to vibrate and let out waves of sword chimes, as if it was preparing for a thunderous strike.

Facing this sword, Li Jianchen's face showed an unprecedented seriousness. He knew that this was the final test he would face, and he also held the Dragoncry Sword in his hand tightly, facing it.

Suddenly, the sword flashed, and a Sword Qi shot out. As soon as this Sword Qi appeared, the other Sword Qis were overshadowed, as if it was the ruler of this world.

"Sword Will!" Zhan Chen could not help but cry out in surprise. He never thought that an inanimate object could produce an attack that contained sword will that only human geniuses could comprehend. Moreover, this kind of willpower seemed to be above Li Jianchen's willpower, forcing this genius to have the impulse to retreat.

At this most critical moment, Li Jianchen seemed to have comprehended something. Resisting the instinctive fear in his body, he used all his strength to strike at the Sword Qi with his strongest sword.

At this moment, Li Jianchen's Martial Will reached a higher level, growing to the point where it was equal to the Martial Will of the sword.

The two Sword Qis collided and canceled each other out. Li Jianchen took the opportunity to leap into the third floor.

At the entrance, he turned around and pointed the Dragoncry Sword at Zhan Chen, shouting, "Zhan Chen, I have already passed the Trial of Metal. As someone who can defeat me, this small challenge should not be a problem. I will wait for you on the third floor, do not disappoint me!"

After saying these words, he turned around again and disappeared into the pitch-black corridor.

Looking at his departing figure, Zhan Chen's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He could faintly feel that in the process of contending with the Sword Qi of the sword, Li Jianchen's strength had increased by leaps and bounds. He was afraid that if they were to compete again, his Daluo Golden Body might not be able to defend against his sword.

"I also have to work hard and quickly comprehend my own Sword Will!" Zhan Chen thought quietly.

Li Jianchen's strength made him feel a sense of crisis. He had a premonition that this proud and aloof youth would become a strong competitor in the future!

"Let's pass the second stage first!" Zhan Chen murmured. A sense of pride rose in his heart and he jumped into the Sword Catacomb.

As soon as he entered, there was a Sword Qi attacking him. Zhan Chen's eyes narrowed and he swung the Tiger Roar Sword in his hand, "Golden Light Sword!"

In an instant, the Sword Qi was split in half. It was not difficult. Thus, he became more confident and walked step by step towards the end.

Along the way, the Sword Qi attacking him became more and more concentrated. However, Zhan Chen had the Golden Light Sword in his hands. His sword speed was three times faster than others of the same level. Even in the rain of Sword Qi, he could walk leisurely. In the end, he simply treated the stages as a kind of sword practice and slowly comprehended the true meaning of Gold.

Unknowingly, he had arrived in front of the Guardian Sword. He was suddenly startled and stared at it. He gathered all the Vital Qi in his body and prepared to face the strongest challenge.

The Guardian Sword began to vibrate again. Zhan Chen's nerves were stretched to the extreme. Suddenly, he heard a "Qiang" sound and a Sword Qi slashed towards him.

Only by facing it head-on would one understand how frightening this attack was. The Sword Qi carried an incomparably overbearing aura, as if it wanted to bend Zhan Chen's knees.

Zhan Chen only felt that the Vital Qi in his body had been confined and could not be used smoothly. He was secretly shocked, "Is this the Sword Will of the Guardian Sword? It is on a completely different level from what I have faced before! "

"No, if this goes on, I will lose. I cannot lose to this willpower. What is the Profound Meaning of Gold? It is indestructible, and there is nothing it cannot break. "

Thinking of this, he clenched his teeth and withstood the pressure. He swung the Guardian Sword with all his strength, "Willpower of Gold, break for me!"

The two Sword Qi clashed together. Zhan Chen did not dare to stop. He hurriedly operated the Da Luo Golden Body, and a dark golden Vital Qi armor slashed on his body.

As expected, the Golden Light Slash and the Sword Qi of the Guardian Sword were only in a stalemate for a moment before they were completely defeated. Then, the Sword Qi of the Guardian Sword did not slow down and pressed down on the top of Zhan Chen's head.

"Success or failure depends on this!" Zhan Chen could not help but feel nervous. The Sword Qi fell on the dark golden armor and was still slowly cutting into it. It seemed like it was going to break through the Vital Qi defense and split his head in half.

Cold sweat could not help but drip down from his forehead. In the moment of life and death, Zhan Chen suddenly thought of the Diamond Sutra. He began to recite it in his heart. His wavering heart suddenly became firm and became calm again.

And this kind of firmness also seemed to be transmitted to the Da Luo Golden Body. The part of the armor on top of his head that was contending with the Sword Qi suddenly began to absorb the sharp Qi contained in the surrounding Vital Qi armor. It began to become more tenacious and continued to wear down the power of the Sword Qi until the willpower was completely worn out.

Zhan Chen only felt that his head was suddenly relaxed. He could not help but feel happy in his heart. He hurriedly took the opportunity to step forward, dodged the Guardian Sword, and rushed into the corridor leading to the third floor. When he came back to his senses, he only felt that the clothes on his back were completely wet.

Climbing up the long and narrow dark corridor, he was still recalling the moment when he resisted the Sword Qi and the strange change of the Da Luo Golden Body.

Suddenly, he stopped and shouted excitedly, "Could it be — — Non-Phase Golden Body!"

"Non-Phase Golden Body" was the highest realm of the Heaven Ranked Top Grade Defensive Martial Skill "Non-Phase Golden Body Secret". However, Zhan Chen had been pondering about it for more than 3 years, but he was still at a loss. But in that instant, he felt like he was about to break through.

Zhan Chen hurriedly followed the cultivation method of the Non-Phase Golden Body Secret and once again ran his Vital Qi. A golden light flashed on his body, but nothing happened. It seemed that it was still the same.

"Could it be an illusion?" Zhan Chen could not help but fall into deep thought.

After a long time, he came to his senses. "I should not stay here for a long time. It is more important to pass the third floor first!"
