Cultivation time was one of the factors to measure a cultivator's strength, but it was not the standard. It was only one of the factors. Besides, there were other factors such as talent and opportunity.
The ancient beast was indeed a top genius and had cultivated for a longer time than Chen Zong.
However, Chen Zong's talent was more outstanding. With the help of the Heart Sutra, he could make up for the difference in cultivation time.
In addition, there was the means.
The strength of Chen Zong's Divine Will was one of his strengths. When he used it, he turned the tide of the battle and secured victory.
Five points!
It was really difficult to obtain points. One point could only be obtained by killing one person. The same person could only be killed once. Moreover, the Battle of Death Ruins was not small. There were 1,000 people. It would only be considered over if everyone died once. Unknowingly, it increased the difficulty.
Chen Zong was not in a hurry to continue hunting other disciples. Instead, he used his Cultivation Sutra to recover his strength. He had used up a lot of energy in the battle just now. He had to recover to his peak state first. Otherwise, if he encountered a strong enemy, he would be vulnerable if he was not strong enough.
Although according to the rules, everyone was destined to die once before the Disciple's Meet would end, they could choose how they wanted to die.
Even if he had to die, Chen Zong did not want to die simply. At least, he wanted to die in the hands of a stronger opponent.
However, Chen Zong did not take any elixirs to recover his strength. These elixirs were not bad. Although he had accumulated some over the past 30 years, they were not much. Good steel should be used on the blade.
After a while, Chen Zong's strength was completely recovered. During this period, he was not disturbed. The Battle of Death Ruins was not small. There were 1,000 people. It was not easy to find the others.
Chen Zong moved again. He turned into a gust of wind and spread out his Divine Will to find the whereabouts of the other disciples.
The Battle of Death Ruins was full of ruins. It was the result of countless battles and would not be restored.
Many figures were moving through the ruins. Some of them were dashing and emitting a dazzling aura. It was as if they were telling others, "I'm here. Come and find me."
There were also some who retracted their auras and flew past at lightning speed.
There were also some who completely concealed their auras and used the terrain to hide their tracks so that they wouldn't be discovered by others. Once they discovered others, they would erupt with their fastest speed and hunt them down.
In this place, because one would not really die, there was no need to hold back. After all, this was the Disciples' Meet, a competition between the Nine Heavens Imperial Court's Spirit Condensation disciples. If one were to hold back, then one might not be able to display one's abilities to the fullest and obtain a better ranking.
And these were all related to the opinions of the higher-ups, rewards, and so on.
Therefore, the most correct way of doing things was to bring out all of his abilities and compete with the other disciples to his heart's content. Of course, this didn't mean that he had to act blindly. Instead, he had to bring out what he was best at and display his most outstanding aspects. He didn't have to expose his weaknesses, as that would only lower the evaluation of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court's experts.
At this very moment, the group of experts from the Nine Heavens Imperial Court were all staring at everything that was happening in the ruins of the Deathly Battle. They were all aware of who was performing well and who was not.
Time passed. One day, two days, three days …
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
In the ruins of the Deathly Battle, there was no distinction between day and night. The sky was also gloomy and gloomy, extremely oppressive. However, everyone could feel the passage of time here.
Everyone's Nine Heavens Rings carried elixirs that could restore energy, as well as elixirs that could eliminate hunger and restore physical strength like Fresh Water Elixirs and Meat Essence Elixirs.
Fresh Water Elixirs and Meat Essence Elixirs were provided by the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, and they could be supplied in unlimited quantities. Of course, there was no need to do so. Generally, one Fresh Water Elixir and one Meat Essence Elixir a day was enough to maintain daily consumption. No matter how intense the consumption was, it would only be two or three more elixirs.
For example, Chen Zong had accumulated thousands of Fresh Water Elixirs and Meat Essence Elixirs in the Nine Heavens Rings over the past thirty years, enough to last him for quite a long period of time.
In these ten days, Chen Zong had fought more than ten battles and won every battle. In every battle, he didn't use his full strength. In this way, Chen Zong obtained nineteen points.
In these ten days, sometimes when he was lucky, he could kill three people a day. Sometimes when he was unlucky, he could only kill one.
His figure drifted past like a breeze, but Chen Zong didn't use his full speed, because that would increase the consumption of energy.
Suddenly, Chen Zong's figure paused, and his eyes became sharp. It was as if there was a flash of light shooting through the air, directly locking onto a figure a thousand meters in front of him.
That figure was attacking and killing a disciple with one strike of his staff. It was as easy as breaking bamboo.
"West Staff!" Chen Zong called out in a low voice. His paused figure flashed again, and his speed increased again, like a gust of wind blowing past.
West Staff!
A member of the Origin Clan, a top prodigy of the Origin Clan. Ten years ago, Chen Zong had fought with him. Although he used all his strength, he was still defeated in the end.
After that, Chen Zong didn't challenge West Staff.
Now, ten years had passed. Since they met in the ruins of the Battle of Death, it was naturally a battle.
After killing that disciple with one strike of his staff and obtaining one point, West Staff also sensed the aura. He turned around and saw Chen Zong. He was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face. He had a deep impression of this human.
He was obviously from the Third Sequence Void. He was obviously a human without any special talent, but he was able to defeat many members of the Origin Clan. He even fought fiercely with him, and in the end, he had to use the power of the Dao pattern to defeat him.
In other words, if it wasn't for that one year of seclusion, when he happened to comprehend and condense a Dao pattern, the outcome of the battle with Chen Zong would have been hard to predict.
How could he not have a deep impression of such a person?
Now that they met here, it was natural for him to have another battle.
"Human, since we've met and we're going to die anyway, let me end you." West Staff laughed and completely turned around. However, he didn't charge forward. Instead, he stood quietly in place, waiting for Chen Zong to come closer.
The distance of a thousand meters was actually very short. With Chen Zong's explosive speed, he could cross it in just one or two breaths.
Close in!
A light green sword light bloomed in an instant, condensing into a line and piercing through the air.
It was an extremely fast sword, but it also condensed an indescribable sharpness. West Staff was secretly shocked, and at the same time, his pupils shrank.
From this sword, he could see that Chen Zong's strength was much stronger than it was ten years ago.
"This is interesting." West Staff grinned and immediately raised the dark golden staff in his hand. "Then let me see how strong you are now. Let's see if you're qualified to make me use my full strength like I did ten years ago."
After ten years, West Staff's improvement was astonishing. After all, he was an Origin Clan member and a top prodigy among them. He had a great innate advantage, and with Primordial's nurturing, he was improving almost every moment.
His strength after ten years would definitely be able to defeat his strength from ten years ago.
If this human was too weak, he would be disappointed.
Of course, West Staff didn't think that this human's improvement in the past ten years would surpass his, or even catch up with him. It would be amazing if this human could improve half of his. This was because most of the Demon Tribe and Heavenly Human Tribe couldn't do this, let alone a human who was only a Third Rank Void Realm.
That staff smashed down directly. It was as if it had stirred up wind and thunder. It directly exploded with an extremely terrifying might, falling down from above. Its power was astonishing to the extreme.
Suffocation!
Under the staff, Chen Zong felt as if a dark golden meteorite was falling from the sky, as if it could shatter everything below. Compared to ten years ago, he was much more powerful.
With a loud bang, Chen Zong's body collapsed. A huge crater was formed on the ground. Countless cracks spread out, and waves of earth rose up.
A light green sword suddenly appeared behind West Staff, cutting horizontally in the air with astonishing sharpness.
"You've become even faster." West Staff seemed to be a little talkative. As he spoke, he swung his staff horizontally, as if he was sweeping away an army. It carried an astonishing force that was extremely heavy and vigorous.
The Great Dao that West Staff had mastered was the Great Dao of Earth. It was extremely heavy and vigorous, and its power was even stronger. Chen Zong didn't plan to fight it head-on at all, as that would be very disadvantageous to him.
As for using the Dao Domain to suppress it, it was also ineffective. Chen Zong realized that although there was also a Dao Domain in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, it was different from the Void.
In the Void, the Dao Domain was released outwards. Here, the Dao Domain was restrained.
Of course, this restraint could only be truly achieved in the Third Realm. As for the Second Realm, it was only in the brewing stage.
Although it was in the brewing stage, they could naturally resist the suppression of the Dao Domain. The only thing that was truly effective was the Sword World. However, the suppression power of the Sword World was also imperceptibly weakened.
At the end of the day, there was still a difference between Chen Zong and the cultivators of the universe. Only when one reached the Third Realm would that difference truly disappear.
Turning into a breeze, Chen Zong dodged again and attacked again. He displayed his maximum speed and even used the secret technique of the Heart Flame.
The immense power of the mind was enough to support Chen Zong to use the secret technique of the Heart Flame for a very long time.
He was stronger and faster!
Fight!
It was an extremely intense battle.
After attacking several times in a row, he still couldn't do anything to Chen Zong. Xi Staff also knew that this human's improvement over the past ten years was not weak. He really had to fight with his full strength, which was quite similar to what happened ten years ago.
"In that case, let's fight to our heart's content." Xi Staff let out a long whistle. His aura skyrocketed in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the dark golden staff emitted a dazzling light, bursting forth with layers of halos. It seemed that the staff had expanded by one size and was even more powerful.
When he attacked, every strike of the staff seemed to be able to shatter a mountain. Not only did it have an extremely astonishing offensive power, but it also affected the surroundings, creating an invisible pressure. This pressure would affect Chen Zong's figure.
Vaguely, Chen Zong actually felt that this kind of pressure was somewhat similar to the Dao Domain.
