Chen Zong was horrified by the mournful wails and screams, as if he was begging for mercy.
The black mark appeared again between his eyebrows, and its light seemed to be a little stronger. After the opponent's Spirit was completely devoured, the black mark flickered and then gradually disappeared.
Immediately, a wisp of extremely pure energy flowed out of the black mark and directly into Chen Zong's body. Chen Zong felt that his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had been strengthened.
Although it was only a little, it should be known that Chen Zong's Essence, Qi, and Spirit had already reached an amazing height in the Third Realm. Compared to many cultivators of the same level, Chen Zong's Essence, Qi, and Spirit were much stronger. This was also closely related to the countless hardships that Chen Zong had undergone throughout his journey.
At this stage, it was extremely difficult to improve even a little.
But now, Chen Zong felt that his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had increased a little from its original limit. It was a little bit that he could feel, and not a little bit that he could not detect.
Moreover, the improvement this time was not the result of his countless hardships. He had only killed one enemy, but for some reason, the black mark had directly absorbed the opponent's Spirit and fed back a wisp of pure energy to improve his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
There were many benefits to having a strong Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Chen Zong's ability to reach this stage was closely related to his own strong Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
A strong Essence, Qi, and Spirit could play a very good role in both cultivation and battle.
In short, for any cultivator, Essence, Qi, and Spirit were the foundation. The stronger, the better.
Now, there was actually a way to strengthen his Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Chen Zong was tempted, and immediately, more desire arose in him.
Kill!
It seemed that as long as he killed someone and absorbed the opponent's Spirit with the black mark, he could strengthen his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Although he had only killed one enemy and tried it once, Chen Zong almost felt that his idea was correct and would work.
For a moment, Chen Zong's eyes emitted a strong light with a hint of killing intent. That killing intent seemed to be crimson, like blood.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Slaughter everything, absorb all souls, and strengthen one's essence, energy, and spirit.
In an instant, the blood-red light shooting out of Chen Zong's eyes became even more intense.
Shocking murderous intent gushed out of Chen Zong's pores and filled the surroundings. It turned into a monstrous murderous intent that filled the air and rolled out like a raging tide.
Every single strand of killing intent contained an extremely terrifying sharpness that seemed capable of tearing apart and piercing through everything.
His long black hair fluttered in the wind. Every single strand of his hair was filled with a shocking sword Qi and killing intent.
At this moment, Chen Zong seemed to have turned into a killing demon.
Immediately, Chen Zong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was an extremely long breath. This breath lasted for more than a hundred breaths. Then, he slowly exhaled.
When he inhaled, it took him a hundred breaths. When he exhaled, it took him three hundred breaths. As he exhaled, Chen Zong's murderous intent that was constantly fluctuating around him faded rapidly. It was like snow melting into nothingness under the scorching sun.
When Chen Zong exhaled the last strand of aura, it pierced through the air like a sharp sword. The speed of the sword was astonishing. It directly tore through the void and pierced through the hard ground dozens of meters away, leaving a long sword mark.
When Chen Zong opened his closed eyes, there was not a hint of red in them. There was not even a hint of killing intent in them. In fact, Chen Zong's eyes were even clearer, brighter, and more profound than before he closed them.
There was an indescribable firmness in them. It was a firmness that could not be shaken even by the collapse of mountains and the capsizing of the sea.
"What an amazing temptation," Chen Zong smiled and said to himself.
At that moment, Chen Zong had to admit that he was really tempted. He was very tempted.
After all, as long as he killed others and absorbed their Spiritual Souls, he could obtain a trace of extremely pure power to enhance his own essence, Qi, and spirit and become stronger. There were many benefits to the enhancement of essence, Qi, and spirit, and it was greatly beneficial for cultivation.
Because of this, it possessed a shocking amount of allure.
Fortunately, Chen Zong did not lose his mind. It was mainly because Chen Zong's mind was strong and had a strong resistance to temptation. In addition, Chen Zong was a sword cultivator. His Sword Essence was pure and strong, so he had a strong resistance to external evil. Finally, it was because Chen Zong was still a little afraid of the black mark.
If he was completely at ease, it would be much more difficult to resist it.
Due to various reasons, Chen Zong was able to break free from the great temptation and regain his clarity of mind. Moreover, he had also experienced a tempering process and his Divine Intent had become even more resilient. He had reached a higher level of enlightenment.
Chen Zong vaguely felt that his Divine Decree Realm had taken another step forward from the second level and was even closer to the third level.
"The black mark!" Chen Zong was not too happy because he thought of the black mark.
He originally thought that the black mark was a kind of inheritance that passed on the Sword Canon of the God and Demon. Now, it seemed that it was not so simple.
It took the initiative to absorb other people's Spiritual Souls and devour them. Not only did it devour them, but it also transferred a trace of pure power to him to enhance his essence, Qi, and spirit.
What was this feeling?
It was as if he had an accomplice in a crime.
Chen Zong became more and more afraid of the black mark.
No one knew what changes would happen to the black mark after it continuously absorbed and devoured Spiritual Souls.
Would it be beneficial to him?
Or would it be detrimental to him?
It was full of unknowns and uncertainties. This made Chen Zong very afraid.
He was afraid of the black mark.
The black mark reminded Chen Zong of the terrifying eyes of a God and Demon. It also reminded Chen Zong of the huge black shadow with the pair of God and Demon eyes.
Chen Zong took another deep breath and slowly exhaled. He found that his mind was in a mess. He was affected by the black mark and his heart was in a mess.
There was no other way!
That black mark was too profound and unfathomable. It was even strange and unfathomable.
It belonged to the unknown, and the unknown always made people more afraid.
Immediately, Chen Zong smiled.
Fear was fear, but it was still an unknown. Chen Zong had no idea what would happen to the black mark in the end. Since that was the case, why should he worry so much now?
If he worried too much, it would only mess up his mind and interfere with his cultivation. There was no need, no need at all.
However, Chen Zong would not let the black mark absorb and devour Spiritual Souls at will. It seemed that it was better to kill less in the future. Of course, killing less didn't mean that he wouldn't kill. If someone really provoked him, he would still kill them.
"What will come will come. It's the same with worrying too much." Chen Zong thought to himself. His belief became more and more firm.
In a flash, Chen Zong turned into a bronze sword light and quickly went to the center of the Giant Rock World.
Unconsciously, with the improvement of his Energy, Qi and Spirit, Chen Zong felt that his power was running more smoothly and his speed seemed to have increased a little.
Along the way, in addition to the Rock Men, Chen Zong also encountered the Giant Rock Tortoise and the Rock Dragon.
The Giant Rock Tortoise was naturally in the shape of a tortoise, but its body was made of rocks. Its body was more than 100 meters long, and it felt as heavy as a mountain.
The Rock Dragon was in the shape of a dragon. Its body was also made of rocks, and it was also more than 100 meters long.
Although they had the same shape, Chen Zong also noticed that the Giant Rock Tortoise and the Rock Dragon were stronger than the Rock Men. Perhaps it was because the Giant Rock Tortoise and the Rock Dragon were closer to the Giant Rock Dragon Tortoise.
However, as long as it wasn't an existence at the level of the Rock Man King, it wouldn't be able to do anything to Chen Zong.
Along the way, Chen Zong demonstrated what it meant to be invincible with a sword. His posture was extremely shocking.
Suddenly, a sword light broke through the sky, carrying an extremely shocking power. It directly tore the sky apart.
Sky Splitter!
Sky Splitter!
This sword was unleashed by Marquis Tian Hen. It was his Great Dao Lost Skill, named Sky Splitter. It was also one of the inheritances of the Wanren Sect.
Although it was only a Lower Star Rank Lost Skill, its speed was extremely shocking. It was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning.
The moment Marquis Tian Hen attacked, Chen Zong could already feel the fluctuations. However, he didn't dodge. Even though Marquis Tian Hen was very strong, he couldn't make Chen Zong feel fear, not even in the slightest.
The Great Thousand World Sword was unsheathed, and the bronze Mountain Crushing Sword Energy instantly slashed out. It condensed into a crescent moon that tore the sky apart, and immediately blocked the Sky Splitter sword light.
However, after the sword light was shattered, another sword light pierced towards Chen Zong's forehead, wanting to take Chen Zong's life.
Marquis Tian Hen attacked without any mercy.
However, Chen Zong's figure didn't move at all. He casually waved his sword, and a tyrannical power erupted. Immediately, the sword light was deflected, and it continued forward. The shocking power caused Marquis Tian Hen's expression to change greatly.
He attacked first, and with his stronger strength, he thought that even if he couldn't kill his opponent, he could at least injure him. However, he didn't expect that he would be at a disadvantage in just one exchange.
The increase in strength of his opponent was too shocking.
At that moment, Sword Marquis Heavenly Scar thought of something. That was the sword blade he fancied during the gathering of the Myriad Origin Gathering. He suspected that it was the Sword Sharpening Token he had obtained previously, but it was snatched away by someone else due to a lack of Cosmos God Crystals.
From the looks of it, that might be the real Sword Sharpening Token. His opponent must have obtained great benefits from the Sword Sharpening Token. That was why his strength could increase so significantly.
Marquis Tian Hen clearly remembered that in the previous battle, his opponent's strength wasn't bronze. The aura of his opponent's strength was completely different.
The bronze color now had an ancient and profound aura. It was vigorous and tyrannical. It was extremely terrifying. Compared to before, it was clearly much stronger.
