Chen Zong had benefited greatly from his return to the Void. He felt that he had made the right decision this time.
If he had chosen to break through to the Sixth Realm first, Chen Zong would not have been able to return to the Void even if he knew about the Heart Sword Seal. The Sixth Realm was completely beyond the level of the Void. Even if Chen Zong restrained his power and aura, the Void would still not be able to withstand it.
Fortunately, he had temporarily given up on breaking through and focused on the Heart Sword Seal. Only then did he return to the Void and obtain the Heavenly Will Sword. Chen Zong could not tell what level the Heavenly Will Sword was, but it was definitely not something a Dao Weapon could compare to. Even the Origin Weapon used by an Emperor-level expert could not be compared to it.
The second benefit was that the black mark had devoured all the inner demons in the Mental Demon Realm. Its power had increased to an extremely shocking level. At the same time, it gave him a pure and vigorous power, causing his essence, qi, and spirit to break through the limit and rise from the Sixth Realm to the Seventh Realm.
The importance of essence, qi, and spirit was self-evident. Chen Zong was very clear about it.
The Void could no longer accommodate Chen Zong. Carrying the Heavenly Will Sword, Chen Zong quickly left the Void. He did not know when he would be able to return next time. At least, it would be difficult for him to do so now. After all, his power was too strong. It was completely at the Sixth Realm. The Void could not withstand it at all.
Once he returned to the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, Chen Zong immediately sensed the difference in the universe. It was as if layers had been stripped away, and everything became incredibly clear. The mysteries of the Great Dao appeared in his perception one after another, as if they were defenseless.
This was the benefit of having a strong essence, qi, and spirit.
Chen Zong could even feel the deeper and higher level of power of the Great Path. That was the Origin.
Breakthrough!
Chen Zong could feel that he could break through at any time. Moreover, he had reached the point where he had no choice but to break through.
"It seems that I can't return to Taihao Mountain to break through again," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Based on the current situation, it might not take him as long as sixty to seventy years to return to Taihao Mountain, but it would take him at least twenty to thirty years.
However, right now, Chen Zong could feel that the power in his body was constantly surging. It was about to explode and break through the shackles of the Fifth Level and ascend to a higher level.
It was possible to suppress it, but Chen Zong was not confident that he could suppress it for 20 or 30 years. It would be good enough if he could suppress it for two or three years.
On the other hand, since the opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived, and it was a breakthrough that was difficult to suppress, then it was better to let nature take its course.
Once he successfully broke through to the sixth level, his strength would explosively increase. Only then would he be considered to have stepped into the level of the universe's strongest. Only then would he have the qualifications to face more dangers and challenges, and would be able to better protect himself and everything he wanted to protect.
Strength!
Of course, Chen Zong would not break through so hastily. He needed to make some preparations first.
On the Heaven Continent, Chen Zong found an abandoned desolate island. The Universe Origin Qi on this island was thin, and there were few traces of humans. Even birds and beasts were extinct. There were only sparse trees.
Chen Zong began to set up. He took out a large amount of Cosmos God Crystals and laid them down. There was a huge amount of Cosmos God Crystals. After all, Chen Zong had killed many strong enemies and obtained many spoils of war. Among them, there were Cosmos God Crystals, which amounted to several tens of millions.
Now, for the sake of breaking through, Chen Zong took out several tens of millions of Cosmos God Crystals.
Compared to a successful breakthrough, several tens of millions of Cosmos God Crystals were nothing.
After making all the preparations, Chen Zong began to break through to the sixth level.
He directly released his strength. His sword intent soared into the sky, and the wind and clouds were vast and mighty.
Hong long long!
The oppressive sound of thunder suddenly resounded. Endless dark clouds also condensed from all directions in an instant. A large area, extending for several hundred kilometers, continued to expand until it reached a range of 999 kilometers.
999 kilometers was the limit of the dark clouds. However, the layer of dark clouds continued to thicken and accumulate. It became more condensed, more settled, and more solid. It was so heavy that it seemed like it was going to press down. It was as if the sky was collapsing. That kind of power was extremely shocking and terrifying.
Chen Zong suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe. It was incomparably suppressed. This kind of suppression was directed at his body.
It was so suppressed that it seemed like it was going to suppress him.
Chen Zong had a solemn expression. He stared at the layer of dark clouds that was so heavy that it seemed like the sky was going to collapse. He was inwardly shocked.
Even though he had not started his tribulation, just this kind of power was extremely shocking. Chen Zong did not know what the situation was like when others broke through.
Streaks of blood-red lightning appeared in the thick layer of dark clouds. They rolled endlessly like blood dragons. The aura they emitted was full of destruction. It was extremely terrifying.
The tribulation of the sixth level was not fixed. It was closely related to the Great Path that one comprehended. The more Great Paths one comprehended, the more powerful the tribulation would be.
On the other hand, the less Great Paths one comprehended, the fewer and weaker the tribulation would be.
However, even the weakest calamity was extremely terrifying. It could easily kill a Level-5 cultivator and turn them into dust.
Even Chen Zong also had a feeling of fear and trepidation.
Brewing!
The dark clouds became heavier and heavier. The blood-red lightning within them became more and more intense. The destructive aura became more and more intense and terrifying.
The terrifying aura also spread continuously from this deserted island. The oppressive feeling that could destroy everything instantly caused the other cultivators on Heaven Continent to panic. It was low and oppressive, making them suffocate. That kind of feeling was as if a disaster was about to befall them. It was ominous.
"What's happening?"
"What's that?"
Many fourth level cultivators saw the thick layer of dark clouds above the deserted island. They also saw the blood-red lightning dragons wreaking havoc in the dark clouds. The aura they emitted made them feel extremely oppressed.
They did not dare to go near it. In fact, they even had to go far away. Only then would the feeling of being destroyed weaken.
Even fifth level cultivators did not dare to go near such an aura. This was because the moment they went near, they would immediately feel that the disaster was much stronger. They could only go far away. The further they went, the less pressure they felt.
Accumulation!
The terrifying aura continued to accumulate and become more and more powerful. It was so powerful that Chen Zong's expression became more and more serious.
The black clouds began to rotate. At the beginning, the rotation was slow. Gradually, the nine hundred and ninety-nine miles of black clouds turned into an enormous vortex. As it rotated, countless bolts of blood-red lightning flew out from all directions and gathered in the center of the vortex.
It was as if a gigantic blood-red eye had condensed and was staring directly at Chen Zong. It was as if it wanted to crush Chen Zong.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning. The terrifying aura also increased to the maximum in an instant. A blood-red lightning bolt as thick as an arm shot out from the eye of the vortex. It was as sharp as a spear, piercing through the sky and tearing it apart. Its speed was extremely shocking. In an instant, it streaked across the sky and blasted towards Chen Zong.
There was no way to avoid this disaster. He could only face it head-on.
Chen Zong drew his sword. Frost Sword filled the air, and a chilling aura invaded in an instant. It turned into an extremely dazzling sword light and slashed towards the lightning bolt.
The sword light and the lightning bolt collided in an instant. In an instant, the blood-red lightning bolt was shattered by the sword light. The sword light carried an extremely shocking sword power and slashed towards the blood-red eye of the vortex in the sky. It cut directly into it, as if it was going to shatter it.
However, when the sword light slashed into it, not only did it not shatter it, but it also seemed to be enraged. The terrifying aura became more and more intense. Endless blood-red lightning bolts burst out from it. Then, a blood-red lightning bolt as thick as a thigh struck down with endless anger.
The first lightning bolt, which was as thick as an arm, was extremely powerful. It was enough to kill a top Fifth Realm cultivator. However, it could not do anything to Chen Zong. The second lightning bolt's power was increased by ten times. Even a Demi-Emperor cultivator would find it difficult to withstand it. He would be injured or even killed in one blow.
However, Chen Zong still slashed out with his sword. The powerful sword light broke through the sky and shattered the lightning bolt. The sword light once again slashed into the blood-red eye of the vortex with irresistible force.
From afar, one could see a blazing and cold sword light that was extremely dazzling. It cut through the void and slashed into the sky.
Hiss …
Everyone who was watching from afar could not help but gasp.
Did they already know what that was?
That was a Tribulation!
It should be the Tribulation of Path for breaking through to the Sixth Realm.
However, they were all guessing. Who could it be?
There were some Fifth Realm cultivators in Heaven Continent. Among them, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court had the most. However, other than the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, there were also some top Fifth Realm cultivators who were qualified to break through to the Sixth Realm.
So, who could it be?
They did not know enough about the Tribulation of Path. They did not know how terrifying this Tribulation of Path was. Ordinary top Fifth Realm cultivators would not be able to survive it.
Anger!
Chen Zong seemed to feel anger from the blood-red eye of the vortex. It exploded instantly. Then, a blood-red lightning bolt as thick as a waist struck down in an instant.
The power of this blood-red lightning bolt had completely surpassed the level of the Fifth Realm. It had reached the level of the Sixth Realm. Even an ordinary Sixth Realm cultivator would find it difficult to completely withstand it.
Faced with this even more powerful blood-red lightning bolt, Chen Zong's expression became more and more serious. However, he still went on a rampage. He slashed out with his sword. An even more powerful sword light tore through the void and instantly collided with the blood-red lightning bolt. After a slight pause, both of them shattered.
A huge spatial crack appeared and instantly shattered. It emitted an extremely terrifying aura that could devour and destroy everything.
After that, no more lightning bolts struck down. However, Chen Zong did not let his guard down. On the contrary, his expression became more and more serious. This was because he felt that the aura of the blood-red eye of the vortex was becoming more and more terrifying. It seemed to be brewing something.
Chen Zong had a feeling that this Tribulation had only just begun. The three lightning bolts just now were like an appetizer.
However, such a powerful appetizer was not something that anyone could digest. If one's strength was slightly weaker, they would have been directly blasted into smithereens. Especially the power of the third lightning bolt. It was extremely terrifying. It was completely at the level of the Sixth Realm. Most Fifth Realm cultivators would not be able to withstand it at all.
However, Chen Zong did not know that the power of this Tribulation was closely related to the cultivator.
