There were less than a thousand Saint Rudiment Stage cultivators in the King-Naming Pagoda. All of them had only broken through in the past ten years. Therefore, most of them belonged to the younger generation. A few of them were older, but their cultivation bases were not high.
In terms of cultivation base, the three Holy Sons were the strongest. All of them were at the early Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
The second strongest was at the peak of the Seventh Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Gong Tian Xing's cultivation base was at the peak of the Seventh Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Chen Zong's cultivation was at the early stage of the Seventh Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage, which was considered one of the higher levels among the thousand people present. Most of them were at the Second and Third Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Only a few of them were at the Fourth or Fifth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage. As for the Sixth or Seventh Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage, there were even fewer of them.
Although Chen Zong's cultivation base was at the early Seventh Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage, his speed was extremely fast. As soon as he executed the sixth step of the Nine Heavens Thunder Stomp, he overtook several people and charged toward the King-Naming Pagoda.
In order to challenge the King-Naming Pagoda, one had to either compete with others or wait.
After Chen Zong saw several people challenging the King-Naming Pagoda, he wanted to challenge the pagoda as well.
The earlier he challenged the pagoda, the earlier he could obtain a title. Then, he would be able to cultivate and improve himself.
Fight!
Gong Tian Xing's cultivation base was the highest among them. He was at the peak of the Seventh Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage. He was only a step away from the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Similarly, Gong Tian Xing's speed was extremely fast. He was like a sharp blade that streaked across the sky.
The fortuitous encounter in the Spiritual Martial Sacred Ground had increased Gong Tianxing's strength and speed by a lot. He was full of confidence. Therefore, he did not challenge the tower before and deliberately waited until now to embarrass the Chen Sect.
Blade light!
Lightning!
In an instant, he overtook everyone and charged toward the King-Naming Pagoda at an astonishing speed.
"Be obedient and line up behind me." Gong Tianxing's voice was cold and stern as it entered Chen Zong's ears. The blade light also passed through the lightning in an instant.
. Chen Zong did not reply. Instead, he retaliated with his actions.
Thunderclap Nine Heavens … the seventh step!
In a flash, the lightning flew past the blade lights and into the Kingship Pagoda, entering the Kingship Pagoda.
The blade light that followed was immediately blocked by the power of the King-Naming Pagoda, unable to advance any further.
"Damn it!" Gong Tianxing roared, his face dark.
Once again, he was at a disadvantage.
Chen Zong had become his inner demon. In the past few years, Chen Zong had made him feel uncomfortable all the time. Half of his motivation for cultivation was to surpass Chen Zong and kill Chen Zong.
Originally, he thought that with the opportunities he had obtained and the resources of the Supreme Profound Sacred Palace, his cultivation would increase even more, and his speed would also increase significantly.
Although they couldn't directly attack here, they could use other ways to oppress the other party.
For example, if the other party wanted to enter the King-Naming Pagoda, he would compete with them and suppress them in terms of speed. He would then be able to enter the King-Naming Pagoda first.
At the very least, he would feel a little better.
What he did not expect was that even though he had improved so much, his speed was still inferior to Chen Zong's.
After suffering another blow, Gong Tianxing had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only suppress it.
…
The moment Chen Zong's body came into contact with the King-Naming Pagoda, the King-Naming Pagoda disappeared as if it did not exist. Then, Chen Zong appeared on the first level of the King-Naming Pagoda.
It was a pitch-black space. He could not even see his fingers in front of him.
Suddenly, a ray of light lit up in the distance. Then, the sound of footsteps could be heard. It was especially clear in the darkness. Every step was rhythmic, as if it had been precisely calculated.
With every step, the clear footsteps were filled with the charm of a powerful army. It was as if they were stepping on his heart. It made Chen Zong feel as if the rhythm of his heartbeat was also affected.
However, this effect was nothing to Chen Zong. It had no effect at all.
His gaze was as sharp as a sword. As the ray of light cut through the darkness, a figure appeared in front of Chen Zong.
It was a man in armor. He was burly and had a saber at his waist. He walked over step by step. With every step he took, his aura condensed and became more powerful. Vaguely, there seemed to be a saber shadow condensing in the air, and saber light appeared in the surroundings.
Very strong!
The aura of the armored man was the same as Chen Zong's. He was an early Seventh Heaven Saint Realm cultivator. This was one of the rules of the King-Naming Pagoda.
His cultivation was the same as the challenger.
The aura of the armored man was stronger than an ordinary early Seventh Heaven Saint Realm cultivator. His strength should be the same as well.
In other words, an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator would not be able to pass the King-Naming Pagoda and obtain a title.
According to the rules of the King-Naming Pagoda, only by defeating the opponent on the first level would one be able to trigger the Heavenly Flower.
It seemed easy, but it was not. Just the opponents on the first level had limited the number of Saint Realm cultivators, preventing them from obtaining a title.
A title was bestowed by the King-Naming Pagoda. It represented a higher level of recognition from the Will of Heaven and Earth. Those who could obtain a title were true elites. Of course, it was not easy to obtain one.
Chen Zong stood in place and observed. The armored man's footsteps suddenly quickened. His aura grew stronger and stronger.
Actually, the best method was to take the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's aura had not been completely condensed to the extreme. Otherwise, when the opponent's aura had been condensed to the extreme, the opponent's attack would be at its peak, extremely terrifying, and even more difficult to deal with.
However, Chen Zong did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he allowed his opponent to condense his aura.
Ten steps!
When the armored man was ten steps away from Chen Zong, his footsteps seemed to pause for a moment. Immediately after, his aura, which had been condensed to the extreme, erupted in an instant. The shadow of his blade soared through the air, and the blade light that surrounded his body also condensed in an instant, converging into the long blade at his waist.
In a split second, the armored right hand grabbed the hilt of the saber and suddenly pulled out the long saber from his waist. An extremely strong saber light shot out from the scabbard like an aurora.
Just the aura of the saber was astonishing. It was as if it could split everything in front of it in half.
Then, the long saber light condensed into a single entity. It was filled with murderous intent and terrifying power. It was as if it was going to kill its enemies on the battlefield.
This was an ultimate saber strike. It was an unparalleled saber strike that could split everything. All the strength and faith of the armored man were condensed in this saber strike.
Not to mention an Early Seventh Heaven Saint Realm cultivator, even an ordinary Intermediate Seventh Heaven Saint Realm cultivator would not be able to withstand such a saber strike. It completely eliminated the possibility of an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator breaking through the King-Sealing Tower and detonating the Heavenly Flower to obtain a title.
However, Chen Zong was not an ordinary cultivator.
He didn't draw his sword. Instead, he slid his feet slightly. However, it was only an inch, but he managed to avoid that terrifying sure-kill strike.
Although the power of this slash was incomparably strong, in Chen Zong's eyes, it seemed to be nothing.
Soon after, the second blade changed direction and slashed horizontally. It was still like a blade technique used on the battlefield. It abandoned all elegance and only pursued the simplest and purest killing.
However, Chen Zong still managed to dodge the second attack.
However, the distance between them was like the distance between heaven and earth. No matter how amazing the saber technique of this armored man was, he could not touch Chen Zong at all.
On the other hand, Chen Zong was observing his opponent's bladesmanship while dodging.
Saber techniques were also martial arts. One could also absorb the essence of saber techniques and integrate it into one's own sword techniques.
After about seven slashes, Chen Zong had grasped the essence of the armored man's saber technique.
Then, he pointed his finger like a sword and shattered the extremely powerful saber light. He even sent the armored man flying as if he had been hit by an ancient giant beast. A hole appeared between his eyebrows.
He had killed with a single blow!
Soon after, a ray of light shone from above. It was the light that led to the second level of the King-Naming Pagoda.
Chen Zong stepped into the light without hesitation. His body was so fast that it seemed like he was ascending.
Soon, Chen Zong stepped into the second level.
The second level was also a dark space. Light shone on it.
Soon after, footsteps sounded.
It was not a single set of footsteps, but rather two.
The two footsteps approached in unison. They were filled with killing intent and determination.
Two figures appeared in front of Chen Zong.
They were also armored men with long sabers at their waists.
The aura fluctuations of these two armored men were also in the early Seventh Heaven Saint Realm.
He could feel that the aura fluctuations of these two armored men were the same as the one on the first level.
Chen Zong still did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he waited for his opponents to attack first.
The aura of the two armored men continued to condense, becoming more and more tyrannical. They stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, forming an encirclement. The aura of the two combined in an instant, as if they were one, and instantly increased by several times.
In this way, the strength of these two armored men was not as simple as doubling. It was three, four, or even five times stronger. The threat they brought was even more shocking.
Ordinary late-Seventh Heaven Saint Realm cultivators were no match for them.
Slash!
Both sabers were unsheathed. Saber light shot out like lightning.
It was the same saber technique on the battlefield. It was extremely sharp, but when the saber was used together, the force of each saber was at least twice as strong. It was even more terrifying.
However, Chen Zong still slid to the side to avoid them. He remained calm and unruffled. Soon after, he pointed out with his finger like a sword and killed the two armored men.
In this way, Chen Zong passed the second level and could ignite the two-colored heavenly flower.
However, the two-colored heavenly flower was too little for Chen Zong. It was too low-end.
The third level!
There were now three armored men.
They had the same cultivation, the same aura, and the same saber technique. However, when the three of them formed a formation, their power was even more terrifying and tyrannical. It was difficult to resist.
But to Chen Zong, there was no difference between two and three because the difference in strength was already so great that it was shocking.
The Sword Finger shot out and killed three of the War Armored Men.
The fourth level!
The fourth level was completely different from the first three levels. It was not a dark space, but a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It made Chen Zong feel as if he had arrived at a beautiful mountain. The scenery was pleasant, and the air was fresh. It was refreshing.
When he breathed, the pure air entered his body and filled his lungs. It was incomparably comfortable. It was as if all distractions had been eliminated. He stood tall between heaven and earth, feeling refreshed.
This made Chen Zong very surprised. He did not know what the fourth level of the Monarch Pagoda's test was.
Where were his opponents?
Where were they?
