After two rounds of battles, the top eight were decided. Chen Zong was one of them. Other than Chen Zong, one of the other seven was at the Pseudo Transcendent Realm, while the other six were at the True Transcendent Realm.
Chen Zong was a special one because Chen Zong's Godly Form was only at the Ultimate Transcendent Realm. Of course, his Dao and Ao Wu had both reached the Transcendent Realm. He had also mastered two Great Path Sword Techniques, both of which had reached the Perfection Realm.
In the last round, the top eight would fight to determine the top four.
When the lots were being drawn, the Grand Commander's finger moved slightly. It was very natural and no one noticed.
"Number one." Chen Zong picked up the lot he had drawn and looked at it. He was the first one to fight. He wondered who his opponent would be.
Immediately, a figure stepped into the Arena of Life and Death. The figure was wearing a white feather robe. His expression was cold and indifferent. His body was surrounded by an endless cold aura that condensed into a faint white fog as if it was going to freeze everything.
"Tian Shuang!"
Chen Zong's opponent was Tian Shuang.
Wu Liu and Huan Ming looked at each other. They were worried about this before. They didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"Tian Shuang!" Chen Zong's eyes narrowed. Tian Shuang's battle had been watched by Chen Zong. His Ice Power was very terrifying. He didn't need any special skills. He just released it and it froze the surroundings. It was like a world of ice and snow. It greatly affected his opponent's movements.
Under the extremely strong Ice Power, Tian Shuang's opponent would be greatly affected and defeated.
He didn't expect his opponent to be Tian Shuang. An indescribable pressure suddenly grew and spread. At the same time, his fighting spirit was soaring.
This Tian Shuang might allow him to use his full strength. Even when he fought with Guan Ming, he used his full strength. After all these years, his improvement wasn't as simple as reaching the Transcendent Realm of the Path of Heart and reaching the Perfection Realm of the Heart Sword Technique.
He took a step forward, his footsteps firm and powerful. Sword will rose from his body as he stepped into the Arena of Life and Death.
The Tian Shuang stared at Chen Zong. Inside his Polycoria, an icy aura filled the air. In an instant, it was as if a gust of cold wind swept over, turning into an ice storm with endless icy aura. It rushed directly at Chen Zong, intending to freeze him into an ice sculpture. This was a common tactic used by the Tian Shuang, and it had worked twice before.
Sword Insight erupted with shocking sharpness, and it suddenly blocked the icy tempest for an instant. After that, it seemed as if a dazzling and resplendent sword light flashed by, and it slashed apart the icy tempest that swept over with irresistible force.
"What a shocking Sword Will!" Outside the Life and Death Arena, the Super Realm experts were secretly shocked.
Holding his sword, he rushed forward. With every step, Sword Qi burst out, and his Sword Will became more and more condensed. Immediately, he became one with his sword, and his sword pierced through the air, mercilessly attacking the Tian Shuang.
The Tian Shuang didn't move, but he waved his arm, and his sleeves rolled up. As if carrying thousands of layers of icy power, it directly turned into a thick ice wall, blocking Chen Zong. Then, icicles condensed in all directions. After a slight pause, they exploded with astonishing speed, piercing through the air in an instant like an arrow released from a bow.
In just one exchange, Chen Zong became the focus of dozens of icicles, and it seemed as if he was about to be shot to death.
Slash!
Chen Zong's sword was incomparably domineering. It directly hit the thick ice wall, and it was immediately shaken. The terrifying icy power flowed along the sword, freezing it, and quickly spread to the palm, trying to freeze Chen Zong's arm as well.
Chen Zong finally experienced the horror of Tian Shuang's icy power. It was simply terrifying. It was bone-chilling, and it was like maggots in tarsal bones. Once touched, it would quickly spread.
It was a terrifying power, and it also showed that Tian Shuang's application and control of his icy power had reached an amazing level. In this aspect, Chen Zong couldn't compare.
Fortunately, Chen Zong had refined his body, and his attainments were good. His Qi and blood were strong and vigorous, burning like an oven, blocking the spread of the frost. However, Chen Zong found that the effect was not very good, and it was very difficult for him to resist.
The Sword Essence burst out, and as the power surged, it cooperated with the burning Qi and blood in his body. Immediately, he stopped the icy power that had just spread and forcibly shattered it. He immediately retreated and performed the World Swordsmanship. The sword light was extremely domineering, and it slashed toward the flying icicles.
Icicles shot toward Chen Zong, but they were all dodged and shattered by him. However, when Chen Zong shattered the icicles, the tyrannical power kept hitting the sword body, and the amazing icy power spread through the sword body and invaded Chen Zong's arm. Chen Zong felt that his arm was gradually cold and numb, and he felt that it was frozen.
Chen Zong looked dignified. In this case, he would be affected by Tian Shuang's icy power before he could get close to him. He would slowly freeze, and his strength would be greatly reduced. Then, he would be defeated by Tian Shuang.
He had to get out of this predicament.
However, it was too difficult. Even if Chen Zong's swordsmanship was superb, he could not get close to Tian Shuang. After all, both the World Swordsmanship and the Heart Swordsmanship were swordsmanship for close combat. Once there was a certain distance between them, they could not exert their full power.
The two Great Way Swordsmanship at the Perfection Realm were important components of Chen Zong's strength. When they could not be effective, Chen Zong's strength was imperceptibly weakened.
He had to get close to Tian Shuang in order to fully exert the power of the two Great Way Swordsmanship.
Tian Shuang stood where she was without moving. Layers of frost continued to spread under her feet, becoming more and more solid. Gradually, a platform of ice appeared. Endless amounts of icy energy flowed like flowing water with an icy-cold splendor.
It spread!
It spread rapidly, and the coldness in the entire Life and Death Arena became more and more intense. Gradually, Chen Zong felt a chill coming.
Waves of icy wind blew with amazing coldness. A layer of frost gradually gathered on Chen Zong's hair and eyebrows.
The coldness was constantly invading his body from all directions. The situation was getting more and more critical.
The commander gently tapped the back of the chair with his fingers. His eyes seemed to be shining with divine light as he stared at the Life and Death Arena, especially Chen Zong.
How could Chen Zong deal with such a master like Tian Shuang?
Would he be able to erupt with even more power?
The drawing of lots was the commander's trick. His purpose was to force Chen Zong and see what Chen Zong's potential was, and whether he was worthy of giving that place to him.
The current situation was obviously very unfavorable for Chen Zong. If this went on, everyone could see that Chen Zong was at a disadvantage. If this continued, the situation would become more and more unfavorable.
"It seems that I can only use that sword move," Chen Zong said to himself, and a touch of determination flashed in his eyes.
Boom!
A strong and unparalleled aura suddenly rose from Chen Zong's body. It was domineering and forceful, as if the mountains were shaking and the rivers were roaring. Then, the sound became silent as if it was suppressed. An extremely domineering and oppressive feeling also spread out.
As the power in his body surged, it all rushed out from Chen Zong's body and into the long sword in his hand. The sword force swallowed and spat out, and the shadows of mountains and rivers surrounded it. An extremely terrifying power spread out, suppressing all directions. The oncoming icy storm paused for a moment.
Soon after, the ice spears shattered one after another.
The commander, the other commanders, and the Fourth Realm experts were slightly shocked. They straightened their backs, and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces.
"That is …"
"… the aura of a unique technique …"
The World Sword Technique … Suppressing the Mountains and Rivers!
Then, Chen Zong's sword slashed down, and the shadows of mountains and rivers suddenly expanded. As the extremely powerful sword light fell, the icy storm paused for a moment and then collapsed. The ice spears that were full of cracks also shattered.
For the first time, the Tian Zong looked shocked. The power of that sword move was too terrifying. The icy storm dissipated, and the ice spears shattered. Even the thick ice wall could not withstand it and was directly broken.
The sword light was extremely forceful and domineering. It was as if it could suppress and crush everything. Even the mountains and rivers were suppressed under it, and it was as if the mountains and rivers could suppress and crush everything.
He had used all his strength in this sword move. He did not even use the Sword Sharpening Technique, but the sword in Chen Zong's hand was trembling, as if it could not withstand this power.
This sword move was Chen Zong's greatest achievement over the years. It was the result of his continuous cultivation and comprehension of the World Sword Technique and the World Map. It was an extremely powerful sword move that surpassed the level of Ao Wu.
Above the level of Ao Wu, it was called a unique technique. Its full name was also the Great Dao Unique Technique.
There was an essential difference between the Ao Wu and a unique technique.
It could not be blocked!
Even though the Tian Zong continuously activated his ice power and continuously condensed it into ice walls and ice shields, he could not withstand this extremely domineering sword move. They were all shattered with irresistible force.
In an instant, the sword light pierced through the air and arrived in front of the Tian Zong.
A huge ice shield condensed and appeared in front of the Tian Zong. His hands were pressed on the back of the ice shield. His long hair danced wildly, and his long robe fluttered in the wind.
It was blocked!
The domineering sword light surrounded by the illusory mountains and rivers was blocked by the huge ice shield condensed by the Tian Zong after it cut through the ice storm, shattered the ice spears, and broke the ice walls.
However, the sword light did not break. It continued to charge forward with terrifying force. The Tian Zong continuously activated his power and poured it into the ice shield to maintain the ice shield and resist the attack of Chen Zong's sword.
A stalemate!
The two sides were in a stalemate. The sword light and the ice shield were in a stalemate.
Everyone's gazes were drawn over, staring without blinking. Even the Great Commander was the same.
Victory or defeat would be decided by that sword and that ice shield.
Crack!
A sound rang out. Even though it was very faint, it still shocked everyone. A crack appeared on the ice shield, and it rapidly spread.
After three breaths, the ice shield shattered. The Tian Zong could not maintain it and was sent flying. After the sword light broke the ice shield, it almost dissipated. There was still a wisp of sword light left to attack the Tian Zong.
"I'm going to win!" Chen Zong said to himself. He activated the last of his strength. His body flashed, and he became one with the sword. He turned into an extreme sword light, like a wisp of wind and a flash of lightning. He broke through the air and attacked the flying Tian Zong.
Tian Zong had exhausted all his strength. Otherwise, the ice shield would not have been broken.
