(The Dominator of the Six Realms forgot to update again.)
Outside the Earth Sword Pass, many people had gathered. Some of them were people who were waiting to challenge the Earth Sword Pass, while the others were people who came to watch the show. There was no lack of people who liked to join in the fun.
"Fifteen minutes have passed. Why hasn't he come out yet?" That was because the previous four people had all come out after less than fifteen minutes. The longest they had taken was the thirteenth stage.
All of a sudden, a sword light shot up into the sky from the Earth Sword Pass, exploding a thousand meters in the air. It turned into countless bright sword Qi and shot out in all directions, covering a thousand meters. Even in the daytime, it could be seen clearly. More importantly, it contained a pure sword Qi vibration, which covered the sky and earth. A lot of people could see and sense it.
"What's that?"
"Sword light shooting up into the sky. This … Could it be that someone has passed the first thirty-three levels?"
One by one, they looked up at the sword light that was dissipating in the sky. They seemed to have thought of something, and their faces were filled with shock.
The disciple guarding the Earth Sword Pass originally had nothing to do. Guarding the Earth Sword Pass was actually a fixed and long-term mission for Taihao Mountain. Anyone could accept it. After that, they would be responsible for guarding the pass for a year.
Once the year was up, someone else would take over.
However, guarding the Earth Sword Pass was actually quite a boring job. This disciple had been guarding the pass for half a year, but he had yet to meet anyone who could pass the first thirty-three levels. That was because it was not easy to pass.
Even among the disciples of Taihao Mountain, not all of them could pass the first thirty-three levels.
Because of that, anyone who could pass the first thirty-three levels would have a chance to enter Taihao Mountain and even become a member.
A thousand meter long sword light shot up into the sky. It meant that someone had passed the first thirty-three levels of the Earth Sword Pass. This was undoubtedly a good thing.
"Who is that?"
"His sword skills are so good that he could pass the Thirty-Three Heavens Sword Formation of Taihao Mountain."
"I've heard that once the complete Thirty-Three Heavens Sword Strike Formation of the Taihao Mountain is activated, unless it can be destroyed in an extremely short amount of time, its power will continue to grow, making it increasingly difficult to resist."
Inside the Earth Sword Pass, Chen Zong, who had passed the thirty-third level, indeed had a good understanding of this. If one did not break this sword formation as soon as possible, as it continued to circulate, its power would continue to increase. It would become more and more frightening, and more and more difficult to defend against.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's swordsmanship was indeed much superior, so he was able to break through the barrier and pass through successfully.
Although he had passed the first 33 levels, Chen Zong didn't plan to stop there. He continued.
Level 34!
There was only one opponent on the 34th level, and that was the white-robed man with a sword. However, Chen Zong felt a stronger wave of Sword Qi from his opponent. He also found that the swordsmanship of this white-robed man was much better than that of the previous white-robed men on the 33rd level.
That was a very obvious improvement. Among Level-4 sword cultivators, he had already reached a rather high level.
However, this level of swordsmanship was still not enough for Chen Zong.
After a few exchanges, Chen Zong figured out the foundation of his opponent's swordsmanship and killed him directly. On the 35th level, there were only two experts who had mastered this level of swordsmanship. Then, there were three, four, and five experts in the next level. It was the same as that of the previous 33 levels.
However, because their swordsmanship was more than one level superior, as the number of people continued to increase, the pressure on Chen Zong also increased.
The 66th level was the last level of the mid-level Earth Sword Pass. Once again, it was a complete formation set up by thirty-three swordsmanship experts.
It was still the Thirty-Three Heavens Sword Strike Formation. However, under the swords of the thirty-three swordsmanship experts, the power of this sword formation seemed to have been further developed. It became more and more terrifying. The sword pressure was astonishing and oppressive, making Chen Zong feel as if his hands and feet were tied.
Fight!
Chen Zong really felt this kind of pressure, and it also made Chen Zong feel a sense of excitement.
In a one-on-one battle, none of the white-robed men was his opponent. However, when the thirty-three of them joined forces and set up some kind of sword formation, the power was further enhanced, enough to bring a certain amount of pressure to him.
Chen Zong was also using this pressure to sharpen his swordsmanship.
The Boundless Swordsmanship, Tidal Dragon Swordsmanship, Heart Swordsmanship, and World Swordsmanship were constantly performed alternately, resisting the frenzied attacks of the thirty-three swordsmanship experts and counterattacking.
The pressure, as the battle continued, continued to increase and become more and more astonishing. The invisible sword pressure from the surroundings also continued to oppress Chen Zong, making him feel more and more restrained.
The swords of the thirty-three white-robed men were constantly alternating, one sword after another, wave after wave. It was like an endless tide, constantly stacking up and becoming more and more terrifying.
However, in fact, this kind of increase was not really endless. There was also a limit. Otherwise, it would be too amazing.
After the increase was about twice the original, it stopped. However, the power under the doubled increase did make Chen Zong feel suffocated.
It was very terrifying!
The Heart Swordsmanship attacked, and immediately at the moment of hitting the opponent, it turned into the most powerful World Swordsmanship.
Slash!
Under the sword, one of the white-robed men was immediately repelled by half a step. This difference of half a step directly caused the operation of the entire sword formation to have a moment of stagnation.
This moment of stagnation was fleeting and difficult to capture. Under normal circumstances, it would not have much impact, but in Chen Zong's perception, it was captured and magnified.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Zong attacked with his sword. It was the fastest sword in the Boundless Swordsmanship. As soon as the sword was out, it directly killed one of the white-robed men.
With one white-robed man dead, there were thirty-two left. The sword formation became incomplete, and the terrifying sword pressure also faded, and the pressure suddenly decreased.
Kill, kill, kill!
One after another, the white-robed men were killed by Chen Zong's sword. The pressure was getting lower and lower, and the difficulty of killing them was getting lower and lower. The speed of killing them was also getting faster and faster.
When the last white-robed man was killed by Chen Zong, another beam of sword light shot up into the sky from the Earth Sword Pass. No, it was not just one beam, but one after another. Ten beams of sword light shot up into the sky, exploding in the sky. Each beam of sword light was as dazzling as the fireworks in a flourishing age. Each beam of sword light covered an area of one thousand meters. The ten beams of sword light exploded one after another, affecting an area of ten thousand meters.
Strands of sword Qi were as dazzling as fireworks, sputtering in all directions. The sword Qi waves emitted were pure and vigorous.
"Ten … ten … sword lights …"
"What's going on …"
One by one, they stared at the sword Qi fireworks above the Earth Sword Pass, unable to hide the shock in their hearts.
The Taihao Mountain disciple guarding the Earth Sword Pass could not help but tremble. He quickly raised his head and stared at the sky. His pupils constricted in an instant, and his heart was overflowing with shock.
"Ten swords rushing into the sky. This … this is a phenomenon that can only be caused by passing the first sixty-six passes." His voice was very soft and almost inaudible, but his voice trembled slightly, showing the shock in his heart.
It was too shocking!
Among the many fourth realm cultivators of the Taihao Mountain, there were many who could pass the first thirty-three passes. Only a few people were not able to pass because they had not cultivated for long enough. However, the first thirty-three passes and the first sixty-six passes were two completely different levels.
In the entire fourth realm of the Taihao Mountain, there were only a few people who could pass the first sixty-six passes of the Earth Sword Pass. They were the top existences in the fourth realm of the Taihao Mountain.
As for those who passed through all ninety-nine stages, there were also some. However, they were even fewer. It was said that it was only because they had passed through it many times and had sufficient understanding and mastery of the Thirty-Three Heavens Sword Striking Formation. They knew how to better break through it.
Until now, there had never been a sword cultivator who was not from the Taihao Mountain who had passed the ninety-nine passes. Even those who had passed the sixty-six passes were few and far between. At least in the past hundred years, there had only been two cases. Today was the third.
"Hahahaha, this is great news!" The disciple guarding the pass was laughing wildly in his heart. He immediately took out a sword token and used it to contact another outer mountain elder of the Taihao Mountain.
Originally, according to the rules of the Taihao Mountain, those who had passed the first thirty-three passes had to report it because it meant that they were qualified to enter the Taihao Mountain. Of course, it was only qualified and not a hundred percent certainty.
But now, passing the first sixty-six passes had a completely different meaning. It was on a completely different level. No matter what, it was almost a hundred percent certain that one could enter the Taihao Mountain and obtain a certain status.
Tiger Zhi was one of the outer mountain elders of the Taihao Mountain. He was a King-level sword cultivator at the Fifth Realm. Now, he was guarding the Ninth Sword City.
As usual, after Tiger Zhi finished practicing his swordsmanship a few times, he stayed in the pavilion in the back garden. He leisurely tasted fine wine while admiring the brilliance of the blooming flowers.
When one's strength reached his level, due to his potential, it was not easy to improve further. Therefore, Tiger Zhi was not as aggressive as before. Now, he had the intention of enjoying his old age. As long as he could ensure that his cultivation did not regress and his strength did not regress, it would be fine. Of course, if there was a chance, he also hoped to go further.
When he received the message from the disciple guarding the Earth Sword Pass that someone had passed the first thirty-three passes, he was a little surprised at first. After all, it had been many years since a sword cultivator from the outside had passed the first thirty-three passes.
Immediately, he replied to the disciple and asked him to bring the person who had passed the first thirty-three passes here.
Not long after, the disciple sent another message saying that the sword cultivator from the outside who had passed the thirty-three passes had passed the sixty-sixth pass. This time, Elder Tiger Zhi could not sit still.
"I want to go there personally." Elder Tiger Zhi immediately put down his wine cup and left.
There was a huge difference between passing the first sixty-six passes and passing the first thirty-three passes. The former was worth him going there personally. The latter was not worth it. He could only come and visit personally.
With a flash of sword light, Elder Tiger Zhi flew across the sky at an astonishing speed. Soon, he arrived at the Earth Sword Pass and appeared in front of the disciple guarding it.
"Elder, that person has not come out yet," the disciple immediately reported.
"Well, very good. Then let's wait." Elder Tiger Zhi was a little excited. If the person had passed the first sixty-six passes and still had not come out, didn't that mean that he was still continuing to challenge?
