With an unwavering will and a firm belief, one's footsteps never stop.
With a sharp edge hidden in one's heart, one's mind is full of brilliance. Therefore, with a sharp edge on one's body, one can overcome all obstacles and move forward courageously.
With a bright heart, the bright light is right in front of one's eyes.
Chen Zong took a step forward, and the suspension bridge behind him disappeared into the darkness.
The light diffused and engulfed his whole body, then disappeared.
It was somewhat different from what Chen Zong had imagined. In front of him was a cave the size of a small house. The walls around the cave were rough, as if they had been forcefully created by some kind of force.
Inside this small cave, a figure was sitting cross-legged against the cave wall.
When he saw the figure, Chen Zong's pupils contracted. The Heavy Dragon Sword also trembled, and an astonishing sharpness and heavy pressure filled the air.
After a breath of time, Chen Zong finally relaxed because the figure was completely devoid of vitality. Not only was it devoid of vitality, its entire body was shriveled like the bark of a tree that had withered for 10,000 years.
A mummy!
This was a mummy without any aura.
Chen Zong's eyes peered through the darkness, staring at the mummy with a tattered robe, and thought to himself, "Could it be a corpse left behind by an ancient powerhouse?"
After a careful search, he found nothing except for the mummy, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Immediately, Chen Zong's eyes fell on the storage ring on the mummy's finger.
Perhaps there were many good things in it.
His left hand grasped at the air, and his spiritual power surged and skillfully condensed into an invisible rope, which quickly wrapped around the storage ring. With a slight force, the storage ring left the mummy's finger and flew into Chen Zong's hand in an instant.
Chen Zong's spiritual power wrapped around the storage ring, and his spiritual sense immediately moved, immediately pouring into the storage ring.
"How can this be?" Chen Zong looked surprised and doubtful.
This mummy seemed to have been dead for many years, so logically speaking, the storage ring should be an ownerless object. Why couldn't his spiritual sense enter it, and instead was blocked by an invisible force?
This kind of situation generally only occurred when a storage ring had an owner.
"If that's the case, I'll just break it by force," Chen Zong said to himself.
Now, Chen Zong's spiritual sense was stronger than that of an ordinary Half-Saint. It was very powerful. In an instant, his spiritual sense bombarded the Storage Ring, trying to forcibly break it and rush into the Storage Ring. Suddenly, a vigorous and majestic spirit spread out, resisting Chen Zong's spiritual sense.
Chen Zong's expression changed as he hurriedly threw the storage ring away. His right hand grasped the hilt of the Heavy Dragon Sword. His eyes were extremely sharp as he stared at the storage ring embedded in the cave wall. His tyrannical power surged endlessly within his body, ready to erupt in an instant and release an astonishing blow through the Heavy Dragon Sword.
At first, it was very weak, but it gradually became more and more intense. In the end, it was as dazzling as the sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Chen Zong's pupils contracted to the size of needles as he stared at the light. The change was too sudden. Fortunately, he did not feel any danger.
"Who … disturbed me …" An ancient and vigorous voice rang out, filling the small cave residence. The voice seemed to come from ancient times, traveling through endless time and space, with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes of time.
As the voice rang out, a light and shadow emerged, condensing into a figure in mid-air. The figure was about the size of an ordinary person's palm, faintly exuding an ancient and boundless charm.
"Senior, how should I address you?" Chen Zong did not let down his guard at all, asking in return.
Chen Zong's voice seemed to have attracted the attention of the small figure. A pair of eyes stared at him, with an indescribable sense of vastness.
In an instant, Chen Zong felt as if he had fallen into a chaotic time and space. Under the gaze of that pair of eyes, all his secrets seemed to have been peeped at.
"I … I am …" The small figure spoke intermittently, as if it had been so long that he had forgotten himself. After a while, he spoke again, "I am … the Great Abyss King …"
"The Great Abyss King …" Chen Zong's mind turned slightly. This person must be a master, at least a master of the Saint Realm. However, he did not know what level the Saint Realm was at.
After all, there was more than one level in the Saint Realm.
Chen Zong did not speak, because he did not know what to say for a while. The light and shadow who called himself the Great Abyss King also did not speak, as if he was recalling something.
Immediately, Chen Zong felt a tyrannical Will sweep across his body, as if it was about to penetrate into his body.
Chen Zong instantly burst out with a tyrannical Soul Sense to resist, but it did not seem to be very effective. Although his Soul Sense was strong, the opponent's Will was even stronger.
This kind of strength was not reflected in quantity, but in quality.
The Soul Sense of a Saint Realm master had already undergone a qualitative transformation.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Chen Zong's voice was somewhat cold.
Being swept by the opponent's Will and still trying to penetrate his body, it was undoubtedly spying on everything about him. In the world of cultivators, this was a provocation, enough to cause a life-and-death struggle.
"Your body is very good. Your Soul Sense is strong, your Blood Qi is vigorous, and your Spiritual Energy is pure. I … am very satisfied." The voice of the Great Abyss King sounded again, neither sad nor happy, only boundless and vigorous.
The Great Abyss King's words made Chen Zong's heart tremble unconsciously, and his face changed slightly. A bad feeling gushed out from the deepest part of his heart like a spring.
Black light surged, and the Heavy Dragon Sword was unsheathed, breaking through the air. The majestic and extremely sharp pitch-black sword light bombarded the small figure as if it was crushing a vacuum.
"Still resisting me …" The Great Abyss King sneered. His figure flashed, and he calmly dodged Chen Zong's sword attack, turning into a stream of light and rushing at Chen Zong.
Fast!
The Great Abyss King's speed was so fast that Chen Zong could not react in time, and he had already appeared in front of Chen Zong.
For the first time, Chen Zong felt that his body's reaction could not keep up with his consciousness, as if his body was stiff. He could not withdraw the Heavy Dragon Sword in time, and could only raise his left hand and put his fingers together like a sword. With a touch of sharp brilliance on his fingertips, he fiercely pointed his finger at the Great Abyss King like a sharp sword, piercing through the air.
"Fast reaction and superb combat awareness. I … am even more satisfied …" The sneer came into Chen Zong's ears. The Great Abyss King had already calmly dodged the attack.
The Heavy Dragon Sword was wielded, and the incomparably mysterious swordsmanship was displayed. Sword after sword kept attacking the Great Abyss King. The sword fingers of his left hand cooperated with each other, and there were no blind spots.
It could be said that Chen Zong had exerted the third level of swordsmanship, the Heart Reining the Sword, to the extreme, and also the Unbreakable Sword Circle to the extreme. But even so, he still could not do anything to the Great Abyss King. It was as if Chen Zong's every move was under the control of the opponent, and even the rhythm of the battle was gradually controlled by the opponent.
Knowing this, Chen Zong was powerless to change the situation, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.
His face was as cold as iron, and Chen Zong's heart was constantly under pressure. This kind of pressure could not be suppressed, but Chen Zong did not pay attention to it, and concentrated on wielding his sword and improving himself.
Pressure!
The increasing pressure made Chen Zong breathless. Chen Zong had not experienced this kind of deep sense of powerlessness for a long, long time.
All along, when he fought with others, it was always his opponent who gradually could not bear his sword, and he who dominated the rhythm of the battle. But now, it was the other way around.
Chen Zong could be sure that at this moment, he had already exerted his swordsmanship to the extreme. Every stroke of his sword was exquisite to the extreme, breaking past his previous limits, and even to the point where water and wind could not enter his body. But the Great Abyss King was even more frightening. Not only did he calmly avoid Chen Zong's every stroke, but he also went in and out at will, as if nothing affected him at all.
It felt as if the Great Abyss King could walk through the cracks in the void.
Horrifying!
Chen Zong was horrified.
Could it be that this was the ability of the ancient experts?
Chen Zong could see that the Great Abyss King was not in his complete form, or rather, it should be a body of consciousness that carried the soul. The strength he possessed was many times weaker than when he was at his peak. But even with this kind of strength, Chen Zong could not do anything about it.
A quarter of an hour!
Chen Zong exerted all his strength to wield his sword for a quarter of an hour. He was more tired than when he fought hard for two hours in the past, but he could not do anything to his opponent.
Strong!
The Great Abyss King was really too strong. Moreover, he was only dodging continuously, and yet Chen Zong was so helpless and exhausted.
Even with Chen Zong's strong physique, he still felt his arms go numb and sore from such a high-intensity attack.
Chen Zong's sword didn't slow down in the slightest as if he was challenging his own limits with his tenacious and indomitable will. It was even to the extent that every single sword strike became more harmonious and carried with it a trace of an indescribable rhythm.
After dodging Chen Zong's sword, the Great Abyss King pointed his finger as he spoke, "Take this."
The Great Abyss King's body was very small, only the size of Chen Zong's palm. Naturally, his finger was even smaller. Compared to Chen Zong, it was like comparing a mouse to an elephant.
However, as the Great Abyss King pointed his finger, Chen Zong's expression became extremely solemn. The world in front of him disappeared, and so did the Great Abyss King in front of him. Only a small finger was constantly enlarging, filling his eyes and the whole world.
That finger was like a pillar holding up the sky, like the light that could collapse the sky, like the finger of a demon god. It was boundless, vigorous, and domineering, enveloping everything, leaving no place to hide.
With one finger, the sky fell and the earth cracked.
With one finger, the light shone forever.
This finger carried an indescribable power, as if it had triggered the whole world. Chen Zong had the thought that he could not resist, let alone dodge, and could only wait for death.
However, Chen Zong's mind was extremely tenacious, his will was extremely firm, and his faith was incomparably strong. Especially after the trip to the suspension bridge, he had been further tempered, like a sword embryo being sharpened.
"Slash!"
With only one thought, Chen Zong withstood the enormous pressure that was like a falling pillar and collapsing the sky, and slashed his sword.
This was the slash of the Heavy Dragon Sword, as well as the slash of Chen Zong's body and the slash of Chen Zong's will.
The Heavy Dragon Sword seemed to let out an earth-shattering roar. The pitch-black sword light bloomed, like a black sun hanging in the sky, swallowing all the light.
However, under the light of the opponent's finger, the darkness quickly melted, like snow being roasted by the scorching sun. Silently, the finger pointed at the Heavy Dragon Sword.
