Outside the ice cave, a ten-meter-tall ice rock stood tall, emitting an icy blue brilliance. Astonishing cold Qi was constantly spreading out from it.
This ice rock was formed by the condensation of countless cold Qi over a long period of time. Its weight was a thousand times that of a normal rock, and its hardness was naturally more astonishing.
Chen Zong stood in front of this ten-meter-tall ice rock, his eyes focused. This time, he wanted to use this ice rock as a target to test his strength, or rather, his attack power.
He didn't draw his sword, but instead used his finger as a sword. In the blink of an eye, he used a wisp of ultra spiritual energy. The aura of ultra spiritual energy spread out, as mysterious as the abyss, as lofty as the sky, and as indescribably majestic and domineering.
With a light stroke of his sword finger, a wisp of extremely dark and pale sword-light suddenly streaked across the sky, aiming for the ice rock dozens of meters away.
With a soft cracking sound, the boundless, vigorous, and extremely domineering sword light cut through the ten-meter-long ice rock like a hot knife through butter.
Chen Zong was somewhat shocked.
He estimated that he would have to use the power of the Heart Calming Sword to easily break this ice stone. But now, he could easily break it by using his finger instead of a sword and using a strand of super spiritual energy. Moreover, he did not use any sword techniques.
Chen Zong's mind spun rapidly, constantly estimating the gap.
"The fifth layer of Taiyuan Cloud Shattering Art is equivalent to the seventh layer of White Cloud Soaring Sky.
"The fourth layer of White Cloud Soaring Sky is inferior to Tranquil Sword.
"The fifth layer of White Cloud Soaring Sky is similar to Tranquil Sword.
"The fifth layer of Taiyuan Cloud Shattering Art is far superior to Tranquil Sword.
"A casual strike from the fifth level of the Taiyuan Cloud Shattering Technique is even more powerful than the Spiritual Level Sword Art I used before."
"Right now, I can't use Tranquil Sword because my Body Refining Dragon Energy can't keep up with the level of ultra spiritual energy. However, my Qi Refining strength should be enough to easily defeat Sword Marquis Shan." Chen Zong pondered.
In other words, he should have the strength of a Monarch grade genius.
However, Chen Zong wasn't sure if that was the case. He could only be sure when he encountered a strong opponent.
In other words, Chen Zong's current strength was so strong that he could not accurately calculate it himself.
With great power came great confidence. Chen Zong's lips curled into a confident smile. His eyes were bright and clear. His body flashed and disappeared without a trace.
When the fifth layer of the Taiyuan Cloud Scraping Technique replaced the White Cloud Genuine Technique, the power that was used every time was beyond spiritual power. It was still within the boundary of spiritual power, but its power was not inferior to the semi-Saint power. The stronger the basic power, the more powerful the attack would be. Naturally, the faster the movement would be.
Chen Zong's soul sense spread out and covered a radius of a hundred meters. He did not let his guard down because of his great increase in strength.
Increasing one's strength was a good thing. Increasing one's self-confidence was also a good thing. However, one needed to be more vigilant in order to survive.
Not long after, Chen Zong felt an extremely sharp sword power in the air. It was as if there were countless invisible Sword Qi flying and tearing the sky apart.
"What an amazing sword power." Chen Zong was secretly shocked.
This sword power proved that the opponent's attainment in the Way of the Sword was amazing.
Immediately, the sword power seemed to have discovered Chen Zong. It swept over and rolled up an invisible storm of Sword Qi. It attacked Chen Zong mercilessly, as if it wanted to tear Chen Zong into pieces.
"Gu Jianxie." Chen Zong squinted his eyes slightly.
This Sword Qi was somewhat familiar. It immediately reminded Chen Zong of Gu Jianxie, the chief outer disciple of the Five Jue Heavenly Palace.
This Sword Qi was much stronger than when they confronted each other outside the Snow Mystery Land. It meant that Gu Jianxie had a good harvest in the Ice Emperor Mystery Land and had further improved his strength.
"Outside, you were the first to leave the Snow Mystery Land. Now, use my sword to see if you are qualified to be first." An extremely sharp sword light flashed, as if it was tearing the sky apart. It left a sword mark that slowly dissipated. A figure that emitted an amazing Sword Qi appeared in front of Chen Zong. His voice was extremely sharp.
Gu Jianxie!
Gu Jianxie's eyes emitted an unparalleled light. It was as sharp as a sword that could pierce through anything. He stared at Chen Zong as if he wanted to pierce through Chen Zong.
Gu Jianxie was like an extremely sharp Sword Qi, constantly emitting a shockingly sharp Sword Qi.
His aura surprised Chen Zong. He had gained a lot. However, Gu Jianxie's words made Chen Zong speechless.
Just because he was the first to leave the Snow Mystery Land, Gu Jianxie wanted to compete with him for first place.
What kind of logic was this?
From Chen Zong's point of view, it was difficult for him to understand Gu Jianxie's mentality.
After all, Chen Zong had a weak physique since he was young. He did not have any talent for cultivation. If he did not obtain the Heart Sword Seal, he would not have been able to embark on the path of cultivation.
After that, he embarked on the path of cultivation. It was not smooth sailing either. He constantly encountered strong enemies, went through hardships, and was hunted down by all kinds of people. After experiencing all kinds of life and death situations, he improved step by step until he reached where he was now.
When Chen Zong had first obtained the Heart Sword Seal, his meridians had been cleansed, and his body had been reborn. His talent had greatly increased, but it still couldn't be compared to now. It could be said that Chen Zong's talent had been raised step by step through the tempering of life and death situations.
If he did not have enough life and death situations to stimulate his potential, his talent would not be like this. It would be even lower.
Gu Jianxie was different. He was a disciple of a Seventh Grade Clan. He had shown amazing talent since he was young. It was said that when he was born, he had a sword light that pierced through the sky. He was regarded as a future sword expert.
That was why he was brought back to the Five Jue Heavenly Palace by the elders of the Five Jue Heavenly Palace.
After that, Gu Jianxie's growth was also very fast. He overshadowed his peers in the Five Jue Heavenly Palace. He was the first in all kinds of Sect competitions.
Whether it was other forces that came to the Five Jue Heavenly Palace for exchange or the Five Jue Heavenly Palace for exchange, Gu Jianxie was always the first among his peers. He could even defeat some people who were much older than him.
First, first, first. He had always been the first. It had long been ingrained in Gu Jianxie's heart.
Chen Zong was different. A ranking without substantial benefits was meaningless to Chen Zong.
The reason for fighting for first place was usually because it would bring great benefits to one's cultivation and strength. If there wasn't any, Chen Zong wouldn't mind at all. He could just give it to Chen Zong.
Since Gu Jianxie wanted to fight, then let's fight. Chen Zong also wanted to see how strong Gu Jianxie was, especially Gu Jianxie's sword skills.
Gu Jianxie regarded Chen Zong as a strong opponent. He would not underestimate him.
An incomparably sharp aura surrounded his body, turning into an invisible sword that shot straight into the sky, as if it was going to pierce through the clouds.
Immediately, the long sword on Gu Jianxie's back was unsheathed. It turned into a dazzling sword light that tore through the sky. It pierced through the air with an amazing charm.
It was as fast as lightning.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, it had already crossed hundreds of meters and arrived in front of Chen Zong.
The speed of the sword surprised Chen Zong. Chen Zong knew that if it was before his breakthrough, it would not be so easy to block this sword.
But now …
There was no need to draw the sword. A trace of Ultra Spiritual Energy covered his finger. Using his finger as a sword, he lightly tapped the tip of the sword with incomparable accuracy.
With a clang, a terrifying force burst out, turning into ripples that constantly rushed in all directions, tearing and shattering everything.
Gu Jianxie's face suddenly changed. His sword was blocked, and it was blocked by a finger.
How was this possible?
Even if this sword was just a test, and he only used 50% of his strength, it should not have been blocked so easily.
Realizing that Chen Zong was powerful, Gu Jianxie's face became more solemn, and his eyes became sharper.
He held his breath, and his eyes became extremely bright and sharp. His aura became even more violent and terrifying. It was filled with a sense of awe-inspiring determination, as if he was going to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Kill!
Gu Jianxie slashed out again. This time, it was a sword that returned to its original state. There was no fancy technique, only a perfect combination of strength and speed. It was a sword that was born for fighting and killing enemies. This sword pushed Gu Jianxie's essence, energy, and spirit to the peak.
He did not hold back this time. He only wanted to defeat Chen Zong and prove himself as the number one.
He fought for the number one. He slashed for the number one.
Chen Zong could clearly feel the strong determination in Gu Jianxie's eyes.
Gu Jianxie's sword was even more exquisite. In Chen Zong's opinion, it contained many kinds of profound mysteries. Gu Jianxie had cultivated many kinds of sword techniques to the extreme. He had absorbed the essence of all kinds of sword techniques and fused them into one sword. It was the culmination of his sword technique.
He flicked his left thumb, and the Heavy Dragon Sword suddenly turned into a beam of sword light and shot out. He clenched his right hand, and the Heavy Dragon Sword flew forward as if it was weightless.
Since the Taiyuan Cloud Shattering Art replaced the White Cloud Ultimate Art, Chen Zong could not use the power of the Tranquil Sword. However, the power of his Ultra Spiritual Energy was many times stronger than the Tranquil Sword.
Chen Zong estimated the power of Gu Jianxie's sword. He had only used a small part of his Ultra Spiritual Energy to limit his strength, so he could not defeat Gu Jianxie with one sword.
No matter how strong Gu Jianxie was, he was not his opponent. Chen Zong was very confident about this. What Chen Zong wanted to see was Gu Jianxie's sword technique.
As the descendant of the Five Jue Heavenly Palace's Sword Jue Lineage and the Five Jue Heavenly Palace's Outer Sect Lead Disciple, Gu Jianxie's swordsmanship was brilliant and his Sword Dao Realm was also very high. To Chen Zong, this would more or less help him expand his accumulation and accumulation of swordsmanship.
After his sword was blocked by Chen Zong, Gu Jianxie's expression became cold. His eyes became sharper, and he slashed again.
Sword Jue!
One sword after another, it caused an amazing sword storm, crazily bombarding Chen Zong. The power of each sword was very tyrannical, reaching 50% of the power of the previous sword.
Chen Zong could not help but be surprised. This kind of strength was indeed terrifying. Chen Zong also felt that the power used by Gu Jianxie was not pure Spiritual Energy, nor was it Semi-Saint Power. It was a power more powerful than Spiritual Energy.
Ultra Spiritual Energy!
