Bang! Bang! Bang!
A rhythmic sound that sounded like the beating of a drum reverberated in all directions.
The Dragonborn's tail was neither light nor heavy, and it kept whipping Chen Zong's body at a uniform speed. Chen Zong's front and back were attacked again and again, and the Dragonborn seemed to be playing with him, whipping Chen Zong from head to toe.
Although each strike was not the strongest, it was not light either. It was as if it was going to break Chen Zong's bones and tendons. If not for Chen Zong's strong physique, he would have been turned into a pile of minced meat.
Intense pain!
Every whip would bring intense pain to his body. Before the first wave subsided, another wave would come. It kept stacking and accumulating, becoming more and more intense.
But gradually, Chen Zong forgot about the intense pain in his body. Countless insights appeared.
Since birth, he was born weak and was regarded as a useless person. It was difficult for him to cultivate. He was ridiculed countless times, but he never gave up on himself. He always remembered his father's teachings: constantly strive to improve oneself.
After obtaining the Heart Sword Seal, he was reborn. From then on, he truly stepped onto the path of cultivation. He constantly sharpened himself, encountered life and death crises, and survived them. He stimulated his potential time and time again to improve himself. Step by step, he walked to where he was now.
Difficult times, alternating between life and death, when had his heart ever wavered?
Opportunities, traveling between two worlds, when had his heart ever wavered?
"One soul lives two worlds, one heart illuminates ten thousand worlds …" Chen Zong could not help but say softly. It was the voice from the deepest part of his heart.
Suddenly, the Heart Sword Seal trembled slightly, and the mysteries of the Heart Sword Sutra flowed out. It filled Chen Zong's soul. The runes emitted a silver divine light, filled with endless mysteries.
In an instant, mysteries that he had never comprehended before appeared one after another.
"Heart!"
Chen Zong said in a low voice. It was like the voice of his soul. Only he could hear it. The demonic dragon did not react at all. It continued whipping Chen Zong's body.
Countless comprehensions emerged. Spiritual lights danced in the depths of his soul like fireflies, parting the dark clouds to reveal the bright moon. His heart was clear, his thoughts were clear, and he was suddenly enlightened.
"Heart Sword Sutra … First the heart, then the sword …"
Once he had an epiphany, the mysteries were revealed. Only then did Chen Zong realize that there seemed to be some deviation in his previous comprehension.
First comes the heart, then the sword.
The heart was the main, and the sword was the auxiliary!
With the heart as the inside and the sword as the outside!
With the heart as the root and the sword as the leaf!
If the Heart Sword was a big tree, then the heart would be the roots and the sword would be the branches and leaves.
Having a heart without a sword was like having roots without branches and leaves, unable to grow upwards and become a towering tree.
Having a sword without a heart was like having branches and leaves without a root. Without the support of the root, the branches and leaves would wither and disappear.
In other words, his comprehension of the Heart Sword Sutra wasn't off at all. It was just that he hadn't gone deep enough.
No matter how many stages he had comprehended the Heart Sword Sutra at that time, it had always been on the surface. He hadn't grasped the true mysteries.
But now, with a deeper foundation, a stronger soul and comprehension, and the partial memories and cultivation insights of the Great Abyss King, a peak Saint Rudiment Stage master, he had greatly strengthened his foundation. Facing such an unprecedented life and death crisis, his body was severely injured and on the verge of death. In this moment of life and death, he had greatly stimulated his potential.
Life and death crises were terrifying, but they were also great opportunities. Chen Zong had grasped this great opportunity. It was a great opportunity that belonged to him. He had comprehended the deeper mysteries of the Heart Sword Sutra. This was the true mystery of the Heart Sword Sutra.
If not for this, who knew how long it would have taken Chen Zong to comprehend this.
The moment he comprehended the mysteries of the Heart Sword, Chen Zong's body suddenly exuded a unique aura. This aura was very weak, like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment. However, it was like a sprout that had sprouted out of the ground, absorbing nutrients and gradually growing. It was incomparably tenacious.
As this aura grew stronger, the demonic dragonman seemed to realize that something was wrong. Its golden vertical pupils suddenly burst out with an astonishing cold murderous intent. The whipping of its tail suddenly intensified, its power increasing to the extreme. It was as if it could crush a mountain with one blow as it slammed towards Chen Zong.
The power of this blow was more than twice as strong as before. It was enough to directly blow up Chen Zong's severely injured body.
With a boom, the air trembled incessantly. The extremely terrifying force turned into a seething shock wave that shattered Chen Zong's body. The shock wave even sent him flying backward, creating a ravine that was several thousand meters long on the broken ground. It was a ghastly sight.
However, the demonic dragonman's golden pupils revealed a hint of human-like seriousness.
That powerful full-force blow just now had not actually hit the opponent's body. The moment it hit, the opponent's body disappeared, leaving behind only a lifelike phantom.
How did he disappear?
It could not figure it out.
Logically speaking, all of this human's combat and movements were already under its control. As long as he moved, it could deduce his next move and attack.
How could it not be able to deduce his next move?
Little did it know that Chen Zong had comprehended the true mysteries of the Heart Sword Sutra: the mysteries of the Heart Sword.
The mysteries of the Heart Sword were to use the heart as the root, the heart as the master, and the heart as the source to control the sword and control all power.
Chen Zong felt that he seemed to have come into contact with a more profound path of cultivation. However, he did not understand it well enough and was in a hazy state. It seemed that he had only scratched the surface and had not even reached the threshold of mastery.
However, just the slightest contact was enough to change Chen Zong greatly. With a thought, he dodged the powerful attack of the Draconid Sinister Demon without a trace.
If it was before, he would definitely not have been able to dodge that blow. He would have been hit, his body would have shattered, and he would have died a violent death.
He quickly took out an elixir and consumed it to heal his injuries.
Heavy!
Extremely heavy!
Almost all of his bones and muscles were shattered. His skin and muscles were also shattered. His flesh was badly mangled.
If not for Chen Zong's strong will and comprehension of the mysteries of the Heart Sword, he would not have been able to hold on.
As the elixir's power quickly dissolved, a cold aura spread throughout his body and gradually healed his injuries.
These injuries were not light at all compared to the injuries he had suffered from the Great Abyss King's finger. Of course, there were differences between the two.
The Great Abyss King had inflicted severe injuries on Chen Zong with a single finger. That finger was extremely brilliant. However, this demonic dragonman had attacked many times and was somewhat different.
In any case, it was a fact that Chen Zong's injuries were very serious.
The demonic dragonman seemed to be enraged. It let out a shocking and sharp roar. It reached out with its claws and tore open cracks in space. It grabbed pieces of debris and lashed out wildly with its tail. It was incomparably violent and destroyed everything.
Faced with the demonic dragonman's destructive power, Chen Zong had no intention of taking it head-on. After all, his injuries were very serious.
He dodged and escaped.
Under the mysteries of the Heart Sword, everything within a radius of several meters was within Chen Zong's grasp. His Ten Shadows Ten Illusions became even more erratic, breaking away from the Dragonborn's predictions. Even Chen Zong himself could not predict where he would go next. He could only follow the feeling in the depths of his heart and guide it in the correct direction.
This feeling was a bit like the Heartless Sword, but the mysteries contained within it were even more brilliant.
However, due to his serious injuries, Chen Zong would suffer intense pain every time he used his movement technique. Fortunately, the effects of the pill continued to spread and reduce Chen Zong's pain. It also allowed Chen Zong's injuries to heal bit by bit. The self-healing ability of his physique also gradually took effect and accelerated the healing of his injuries.
Chen Zong used his movement technique to the extreme. He circled around the entire giant city and dodged the attacks of the demonic dragonman. The demonic dragonman attacked wildly as if it had endless energy. The giant city, which was already in ruins, was further damaged by this terrifying attack.
Time passed slowly. In the beginning, Chen Zong was almost hit by the demonic dragonman several times. However, as he became more proficient in using the mysteries of the Heart Sword, the demonic dragonman could not do anything to Chen Zong.
"Thirty percent." Chen Zong's eyes flashed.
Thirty percent of his injuries had already healed. Although he was still in pain, he was already able to fight.
While he was recovering, the demonic dragonman kept attacking and its energy was constantly being depleted.
Although the demonic space demons in the Illusory Battle were not real demonic space demons, they were all created by the Aeon Ice Empress based on the real demonic space demons. They were very close to the real demonic space demons.
As such, although these demonic space demons were very powerful, they were not endless.
Especially when this demonic space demon attacked in rage, its energy was being depleted even faster.
Wait!
Chen Zong continued to wait, waiting for the demonic space demon's energy to be depleted even more.
After forty percent of its injuries had healed, the demonic dragonman's energy was being depleted even more.
The mysteries of the Heart Sword made Chen Zong's powerful spiritual sense sharper. He began to sense that the demonic dragonman's aura was weakening.
After fifty percent of its injuries had healed, the demonic dragonman suddenly calmed down. It also realized that it had used up a lot of its energy.
Celestial Crystal Battle Body!
In an instant, Chen Zong unleashed the entry-level seventh-grade secret technique. White crystal light filled his arms, making them even more powerful.
The Red Flame Sword pierced through the air.
Ten Shadows Ten Blades Kill!
Under the mysteries of the Heart Sword, the Ten Shadows Ten Blades Kill became more and more unpredictable and fierce.
Moreover, the Ten Shadows Ten Blades Kill did not appear at the same time like before. Instead, they appeared one at a time and attacked the demonic dragonman. The demonic dragonman immediately dodged. Then, a second figure appeared with a sword and attacked, as if it had predicted the demonic dragonman's dodging route.
The demonic dragonman was shocked. It immediately attacked, gathering what little energy it had left to attack.
The third figure brandished his sword and attacked again.
As expected of a high-level half-saint demonic space demon, it was indeed very powerful. Under the more flexible Ten Shadows Ten Blades Kill, it still could not be killed.
However, Chen Zong attacked with a second move.
Ten Blades Slash … Two Blades Become One!
As he attacked, the two sword lights merged into one. Its power was greatly increased, and it appeared right in the demonic dragonman's path. It could not be dodged.
In the past, even though Chen Zong knew the secret behind Ten Blades Returning to One, he was unable to execute it. But now, with the help of the Heart Sword, he was able to use his heart as the foundation to control all energy. He was able to execute the Ten Blades Returning to One Dual Blades Returning to One.
Two Blades Become One, and the two sword lights merged into one. Its power was greatly increased.
Slash!
The shocking sword light tore through the air and clashed with the demonic dragonman's claws.
