Six years.
With a roar from Ye Tianze, the thirty thousand high grade Primal Stones were completely absorbed by him. With that roar, his strength broke through to the mid Heaven realm.
In total, it had taken him ten years to absorb all the Primal Stones. The last Primal Stone was the slowest.
Not only was it to take care of Sun Qiqi, but it was also to compress his inner world and push his body's talent to the limit.
The effect of these thirty thousand high grade Primal Stones was much better than the three hundred thousand low grade Primal Stones and one hundred thousand mid grade Primal Stones added together.
When Ye Tianze opened his eyes, Sun Qiqi, whose cultivation base had increased, subconsciously trembled.
"You finally broke through?"
Asked Sun Qiqi.
"Yeah, I broke through. I didn't expect it to take me ten years. I wonder how long it'll take to break through to the late Heaven realm." Ye Tianze sighed.
"......"
Sun Qiqi looked like she wanted to eat Ye Tianze. But she knew that she couldn't eat Ye Tianze. She would be stuffed to death.
With Ye Tianze's current physical body, if she cut off a piece of his flesh, it wouldn't be comparable to dragon liver or wind gallbladder, but it would definitely be a high grade Primal Stone.
Even if it was only the size of a fingernail, it would be enough to kill an Immortal realm cultivator.
If it was an Earth realm cultivator, it would be a great tonic. After all, after absorbing so many Primal Stones, their bodies would be as clean as flawless jade.
Sun Qiqi wasn't willing to give up. She activated her inner world and punched at Ye Tianze with all her strength.
However, Ye Tianze's inner world didn't even activate. Her inner world covered Ye Tianze's body, but it was unable to suppress him. Instead, a huge rebound force distorted her inner world.
BANG!
Her fist landed on Ye Tianze's face, but it didn't deform Ye Tianze's face in the slightest.
On the other hand, it was Qiqi's fist that was smashed into a bloody mess.
"You pervert!"
Sun Qiqi was in so much pain that she was on the verge of tears. "How can you be so strong? If you had used the Spherical Heaven Combat Body, wouldn't I have had no chance to resist?"
"Do you want to try?"
Ye Tianze asked.
"No need."
Sun Qiqi didn't want to look for trouble and said, "If he's so strong now, his physical body will be close to the emperor realm in the later stages. If he's at the peak, his physical body would be comparable to an emperor's physical body. When he's at the half-step emperor realm, he might even be able to challenge an emperor realm expert!"
Ye Tianze laughed brightly and said, "Your strength is not bad. I originally wanted to get some Thousand Years Drunk from you. Since you've broken through, let's go find that old thing and settle the score."
…
Gongsun Hong sat cross-legged outside for a full ten days. During those ten days, nothing happened outside, but he knew that ten years had passed in the third level.
The vitality inside had long been exhausted.
"If nothing unexpected happens, these two fellows should come out in another ten years. Otherwise, unless they seal themselves, they'll only die faster!"
At their level, the vitality consumed by every move was enough for some immortal realm cultivators to absorb for a lifetime.
Sealing themselves could prevent the consumption of vitality, but it would also consume vitality. Therefore, Gongsun Hong calculated that they would have at most a hundred days.
If they didn't come out in a hundred days, they wouldn't be able to come out.
The flow of time inside was so fast, but it wasn't a good thing. After all, without enough resources, cultivating inside would consume one's lifespan.
What was the most important thing for a cultivator? Naturally, it was lifespan.
Cultivating to the heaven realm only meant a lifespan of five thousand years. In the nine-story pagoda, these five thousand years were equivalent to five thousand days. In the outside world, it was just a snap of the fingers.
However, Gongsun Hong knew that they would come out at any time. The time outside couldn't be compared to the time inside, so he was always alert.
However, he didn't expect that just as he closed his eyes, the formation door to the third floor opened.
Gongsun Hong smiled and said, "It seems that I overestimated you. Only ten years have passed inside, and you can't hold on anymore?"
The first one to come out was Sun Qiqi.
Gongsun Hong was slightly surprised to find that Sun Qiqi's strength had not weakened, but had increased by a lot.
However, this didn't pose much of a threat to him. Gongsun Hong knew very well that it was still very easy to kill Sun Qiqi.
However, as soon as Ye Tianze appeared, Gongsun Hong sensed that something was off. When Ye Tianze's eyes landed on him, he didn't feel as if he were being stared at, but rather as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
"What's going on!"
Gongsun Hong thought to himself, "How did the two of you become so strong?"
Ye Tianze was about to speak when Gongsun Hong beat him to it. "However, that's not important. What's important is that both of you have to die!"
After saying that, he blocked the exit.
Sun Qiqi held the key and had no intention of opening the formation door to escape. Instead, she stood to the side and watched the show.
Gongsun Hong was a little surprised and asked, "You're not going to run?"
"Run?"
Ye Tianze said with a smile, "Shouldn't the person who should run be you?"
"Ignorant child, you only know how to use your sharp tongue. Give me your life!"
Gongsun Hong was worried that they would run in again, so he waved his sword and slashed at Ye Tianze.
He and the sword became one, and sword qi swept out. Accompanied by the power of the rules, the void instantly collapsed wherever it passed.
Ye Tianze activated the Spherical Heaven Combat Body. Starlight and blood curled around him.
However, he didn't stop the sword from falling. He only stretched out his hands and clapped heavily.
With a loud bang, gold and iron collided, and sparks flew everywhere.
The heavy sword was between Ye Tianze's palms, and it could no longer move. Gongsun Hong was shocked. He opened the world with all his strength, trying to pull the sword away, but he felt that it wouldn't move at all.
"How is this possible!!!"
Gongsun Hong's eyes widened. "Your strength, how can … No, you're in the middle stage of the Heaven Realm, but … but you only broke through a small realm. How is it possible …"
Without waiting for him to finish, a voice interrupted him, saying, "I thought the same as you before. My fists were all broken, but I didn't hurt a single hair on his head."
"Impossible, I cultivate the rules of strength!" Gongsun Hong struggled.
Ye Tianze's hand finally loosened. "You want the sword? I'll return it to you! "
Gongsun Hong pulled the sword out and staggered, almost falling on his face.
"I don't believe it!"
The spiritual power in Gongsun Hong's body surged, gathering the pure rules of strength. It radiated and suppressed with the world.
Then, he slashed down with his sword.
However, before the sword landed on Ye Tianze's body, it was knocked aside by Ye Tianze's staff.
The force of the rebound made Gongsun Hong's whole body tremble. His Qi and blood surged, and the web between his thumb and index finger instantly shattered. The bones in his arm creaked, and there was a tearing sound.
If he hadn't caught it with his other hand and neutralized the force, his sword would have been out of his hand.
"You have to believe it even if you don't believe it!"
Ye Tianze brandished his staff and swung it down at him. "Eat my staff!"
As Ye Tianze's world rules unfolded, the terrifying pressure made Gongsun Hong feel suffocated.
Clang!
The Heaven's Equal Staff collided with the Edgeless Sword again. Gongsun Hong's sword was directly sent flying.
Gongsun Hong's face changed drastically. His world had collapsed under the pressure of Ye Tianze's world. It was also the rules of strength.
However, Ye Tianze's strength was obviously stronger than his. Just like before, his strength was stronger than Ye Tianze's. He could crush Ye Tianze.
However, the situation had changed now.
"I'll die with you!"
Gongsun Hong was in despair. He knew that there was only one way to suppress Ye Tianze now.
That was to disregard everything and immediately break through to the Emperor Realm. Only then could he crush Ye Tianze. However, if he did that, he would also die here.
The Nine-Storey Pagoda couldn't avoid the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
However, he had no other choice.
"You don't have the right to die with me!"
Ye Tianze raised his staff and hit Gongsun Hong's head with it. There was only a "boom".
That head exploded like a watermelon.
