Clash!
The ten-million-meter-tall Thunderfire Ancient Beast and the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise collided without any hesitation. In an instant, the flickering Thunderfire Power around the Thunderfire Ancient Beast erupted and poured out like a torrent, directly covering the surrounding area. The power that it emitted was extremely terrifying. Even though the four Emperor-level experts were a great distance away, they still felt their hearts palpitating.
Fortunately, their previous attacks had not angered the Lightning Flame Ancient Beast. Otherwise, they would have been dead.
The Lightning Flame Ancient Beast could have killed all of them with a single blow.
The boundless Lightning Flame Ancient Beast's violent and boundless Lightning Flame Ancient Beast rushed toward the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise's body, trying to destroy it.
However, the body of the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise was also enormous and incomparably heavy. Countless rocks covered its body, forming a layer of hard and thick armor that firmly protected its body. Withstanding the incomparably berserk lightning and fire power, it charged forth with the intention of crushing the Lightning Flame Ancient Beast.
After the collision, the terrifying energy exploded and turned into a surging shockwave that spread out in all directions. A portion of the shockwave rushed toward the Myriad Yuan Island like a raging tide.
The four Emperor-level cultivators stood at the very front of the group. Behind them were the level-six Emperor-level cultivators, followed by the level-five Emperor-level cultivators, and then the level-four cultivators.
"Attack!" The four Emperors looked solemn and dignified. When they saw the terrifying shockwave rushing toward them, they immediately roared and unleashed their full strength.
The other Emperors also looked solemn. They also unleashed their full strength to resist the violent shockwave and protect the Myriad Yuan Island.
No matter what, the Myriad Yuan Island was like their home. If it was destroyed, they would be displaced and it would be extremely difficult for them to find a suitable place to live.
No matter what, they had to protect the Myriad Yuan Island, even if they had to pay a price.
Chen Zong was completely unaware of such a crisis because he was still in Sword Sharpening Mountain.
When he stepped into the Dark Vortex, it was as if he had appeared in another world. An extremely cold aura surged toward him and it was extremely strong and terrifying. However, Chen Zong had come and gone many times and he had gotten used to it.
A deep sword light instantly appeared and pierced toward him. It was as fast as lightning and as ferocious as a tiger or a wolf. It was extremely terrifying. Chen Zong's expression did not change. He slashed out his sword and the sword light was mysterious.
Fight!
Chen Zong once again fought fiercely with the black Shadow.
Now, Chen Zong's Heart Sword Art and World Sword Art had broken through their limits and reached the twelfth level of Arcane Martial Arts. Their power was even more shocking.
Thinking about it, every sword strike had the terrifying power of a twelfth level Profound Martial Art. What kind of shocking power was that?
Even so, it was still difficult to kill the shadows here. They could only fight fiercely, bitterly, and slowly wear them down.
Kill!
After fighting fiercely for at least an hour, Chen Zong successfully killed the black Shadow. A black aura that was obviously thicker than the one in Heaven Court instantly rushed into Chen Zong's body of consciousness.
In an instant, countless memory fragments also rushed in. Among them, there was information about the black Shadow's identity, some information about Sword Sharpening Mountain, and some information about the Great Path Sword Principle that the black Shadow cultivated.
An Elder!
This black Shadow was an Elder of Sword Sharpening Mountain.
Sword Sharpening Mountain's elders were at least Fifth Realm king-level powerhouses.
The swordsmanship of a fifth realm King-level sword cultivator was naturally superb. It was no wonder that Chen Zong had been at a disadvantage time and time again and had almost been killed. Of course, there were other factors as well. For example, after becoming a shadow, his strength was no longer at his peak.
Otherwise, his swordsmanship would be even more terrifying.
But then again, Chen Zong had raised the power of both the Heart Sword Technique and the World Sword Technique to the twelfth level of Profound Martial Arts. This was because even experts at the fourth level or even some experts at the fifth level might not necessarily be able to raise the level of their Great Path Martial Arts to that level.
Chen Zong, who was at Third Realm, had already surpassed countless people in terms of the level of his Great Path Martial Techniques.
If not for his swordsmanship attainments at this level, Chen Zong would not have been able to make it here. He might not even have made it through the Human Compound.
The Elder's memory fragments contained information about swordsmanship. The swordsmanship that he cultivated was naturally the 13 Great Path Sword Principles of Sword Sharpening Mountain. However, it was not the Boundless Sword Principle or the Rising Dragon Sword Principle, but a First Stage Great Path Sword Principle. There were three of them. When the three First Stage Great Path Sword Principles were combined, their power surpassed that of a Second Stage Great Path Sword Principle.
Sword Sharpening Mountain had a strict hierarchy. When a Human Compound disciple broke through to Fifth Realm and became an Elder, they would only be at the level of an outer mountain Elder. They were the weakest among the Elders.
However, if an outer mountain Elder's swordsmanship was already so shocking, Chen Zong could not imagine how terrifying the swordsmanship of an Elder of a higher level would be.
The outer mountain Elder's black aura, also known as Chen Zong's consciousness, had become much more condensed. It had a stronger resistance to the cold Yin here, and the power of his consciousness had also increased. This had unknowingly increased Chen Zong's power.
Search!
Fierce battle!
Hunt!
Once again, Chen Zong entered the cycle and continued to increase the strength of his consciousness.
As a result, Chen Zong also obtained more memories and knew the hierarchy of Sword Sharpening Mountain's Elders.
Outer mountain Elders!
Inner mountain Elders!
Core Elders!
The so-called Outer mountain Elders were Elders who had continuously broken through to Fourth Realm and then Fifth Realm from the Human Compound disciples. They had mastered First Stage Great Path Sword Principles and had combined at least three or four of them.
The Inner mountain Elders were Fifth Realm powerhouses who had been promoted from Earth Compound disciples. They had mastered First Stage Great Path Sword Principles.
As for the Core Elders, they were Elders who had been promoted from Heavenly Compound disciples. They had mastered First Stage Great Path Sword Principles or Tidal Dragon Sword Principles.
However, now, Chen Zong had encountered the black shadows of the Outer mountain Elders. The swordsmanship memories that he had obtained were also repeated.
Of course, their combined swordsmanship had also inspired Chen Zong. It had allowed Chen Zong's Heart Swordsmanship and World Sword Principles to continuously improve and become more powerful.
Above the Ao Wu was the Great Path Lost Technique.
Chen Zong had an idea. He wanted to break through the limits of the Heart Swordsmanship and World Sword Principles and increase their power level to the level of a Great Path Lost Technique. Even if it was just an Inferior Star-level Lost Technique, it would be fine.
However, it was too difficult.
Reaching the level of Arcane Martial Arts to Absolute Art was equivalent to reaching the level of Fourth Realm from the Third Realm. It was very rare for Chen Zong to master a Great Path Absolute Art. However, it was ten times more difficult for him to raise his Great Path Sword Arts to the level of Absolute Art compared to mastering a Great Path Absolute Art at the Third Realm.
Even many Fifth Realm King-level Sword Cultivator powerhouses might not be able to upgrade a Great Path Lost Technique to the level of a Great Path Lost Technique. Most of those who could do it were the top Fifth Realm King-level Sword Cultivators.
When Chen Zong continuously hunted the black shadows of the Outer mountain Elders and increased his consciousness to the limit of his current level, he continued to go up and look for the black shadows of the Inner mountain Elders to hunt.
This was a repetitive process. He kept fighting and fighting, and he kept on improving and improving.
At the beginning of the battle, it was extremely difficult. Chen Zong was almost always at a disadvantage. However, later on, he tried again and again and slowly improved. In the end, he succeeded in hunting.
As long as he successfully hunted the first one, he would be able to hunt the second and third. The further he went, the easier it was to hunt.
After increasing his consciousness to the limit, Chen Zong began to hunt down the Core Elders.
The black shadows of the Core Elders were even more powerful. This was because they cultivated the top Boundless Sword Technique or the Tidal Dragon Sword Technique.
Even if they did not fuse with the Boundless Sword Technique, their power was still very terrifying.
Chen Zong repeatedly tried many times and finally succeeded in hunting one.
Once again, he reached the limit. Chen Zong felt that his consciousness was many times stronger than when he first entered. It was almost solidifying.
The solidification previously was just an appearance. Now, it was as if it was real.
Human Compound disciple, Earth Compound disciple, Heaven Compound disciple!
Outer mountain Elders, Inner mountain Elders, Core Elders!
Chen Zong felt as if he was breaking through a level.
The Heaven Compound disciples of Sword Sharpening Mountain were not Third Realm but Fourth Realm powerhouses.
Some of the Earth Compound disciples were even Fourth Realm powerhouses.
Therefore, Chen Zong killed his way from Third Realm to Fourth Realm, and then to Fifth Realm.
However, Chen Zong clearly remembered that there were Sixth Realm Sword Emperors and Seventh Realm Jiandi in Sword Sharpening Mountain. There were even Eighth Realm Sword Saints.
"Sword Emperor-level black shadows …" Chen Zong took a deep breath.
If Sword King-level was already so powerful, then what about Sword Emperor-level?
How powerful?
It was unimaginable.
However, Chen Zong had an indescribable sense of anticipation.
However, when Chen Zong stepped into the palace on Sword Sharpening Mountain, he did not feel that terrifying and extremely cold aura. It was as if it had disappeared. He did not encounter any black shadows either, let alone Sword Emperor-level black shadows or Jiandi level black shadows.
The palace was vast and empty as if it was endless. When Chen Zong stepped into it, he felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.
His gaze was as sharp as a sword as he scanned the place. The lighting here was dim, but he did not discover anything else.
Chen Zong immediately strode forward. As he walked, Chen Zong saw what seemed to be a black shadow in front of him.
That black figure looked very tall and big. It was sitting on a throne, like a king who ruled over the world.
He was getting closer!
When Chen Zong got closer to the black shadow, he could see it more clearly. It was a black shadow wearing a black sword robe. Its entire body was pitch-black, and he could not see its facial features or eyes.
Not only could he not see its facial features, but he also could not sense its aura.
That black shadow was dozens of meters tall just by sitting down. If it stood up, it would probably be more than a hundred meters tall. To Chen Zong, it was definitely a giant.
"Whose black shadow is this?" Chen Zong was secretly shocked and secretly guessed.
Sword Emperor-level?
Jiandi?
Or Sword Saint?
Chen Zong had no idea at all. He was just guessing.
Chen Zong tried to take a few more steps forward to get closer to the huge black shadow.
This black shadow was different from the ones Chen Zong had seen before. It was not only huge, but also extremely solid.
Suddenly, the black shadow seemed to sense Chen Zong's approach and opened its eyes in an instant.
What kind of eyes were those?
The double pupils were restrained, and the black and white were distinct. It was like a sitting demon, which made people's hearts palpitate. Just a moment's gaze made Chen Zong's body of consciousness stiffen. The next moment, it directly collapsed.
That gaze was like a god or a demon.
