[Third Update: Seeking Another Wave of Monthly Votes]
Intense streams of light streaked across the sky. A cold star arrived first, then shot out like a dragon, carrying with it an astonishing radiance that pierced through and shattered everything.
Chen Zong did not move. His eyes focused, and a sharp light shot out. He immediately saw his opponent's every move clearly, and the trajectory of the radiance was also incomparably clear.
When the radiance was about to reach him, Chen Zong's body swayed slightly, as gentle as a willow in the wind, but he still managed to dodge the attack.
He did not counterattack. Chen Zong's goal was to see the fighting methods and techniques of the inner universe.
With the radiance in his hand, Chen Zong felt as if a true martial arts expert was using his techniques to fight against him.
In a place like the Star Battle Pagoda, the opponents that appeared were not real people, but puppets. Of course, if there was a more advanced technique, it would be a mirage, the mirage of a powerhouse.
Chen Zong did not know what kind of technique it was, but such a technique was truly astonishing.
After dodging a few times, Chen Zong also figured out his opponent's technique. He pointed his finger like a sword, and a cold light shot out, instantly bypassing the radiance and heading straight for his opponent, killing him with a single finger.
This opponent was only on the first level, which meant that he was a one-star. Although Chen Zong did not know what level his combat strength was in the inner universe, it was definitely not as simple as a one-star.
Outside the Star Battle Pagoda, many people were staring at the stars on the pagoda.
The stars on the first level had already lit up, emitting a dazzling light. The stars on the second level were also lit up. Soon after, the stars on the third level also lit up, shining with incomparable brilliance.
"So fast, he's already reached the third level."
"No, it's the fourth level."
"It's Flying Star Sword Bai Liyan, right? Their Hundred Mile Sword Technique is famous."
"Flying Star Sword Bai Liyan is indeed a famous sword prodigy in the Ancient Phoenix Domain. Apart from him, no one else can reach the fourth level so quickly."
"I wonder if the Flying Star Sword will be able to clear the tenth level this time?"
Amidst the discussions, the stars on the fifth level lit up, causing another round of commotion.
The inner universe was known as the Ancient Mystic World. The inner universe was divided into domains, and the Ancient Phoenix Domain was one of the large domains. The leader of this domain was the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. However, besides the Ancient Phoenix Mountain, there were many other forces, large and small, that existed within the Ancient Phoenix Domain.
Among them, the most powerful forces were closer to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. Of course, they could not be compared to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain. After all, the Ancient Phoenix Mountain was the ruler of the Ancient Phoenix Domain. They were a true giant and were an extremely ancient existence. They had an unparalleled foundation and strength.
Other than giants like the Ancient Phoenix Mountain, the powers below them were known as Heavenly Powers. The powers above them were known as Earthly Powers. The powers below them were known as Mortal Powers. Those below Mortal Powers were known as Unrated Powers.
Within the Ancient Phoenix Domain, the Baili Clan belonged to the Heavenly Powers. As for the Wind King Sect, which Yang Yi and the other three came from, it belonged to the Earthly Powers.
On the fifth level of the Star Battle Pagoda, Baili Yan's body was surrounded by a sword light. As he pointed his sword forward, the sword light suddenly exploded. Like a meteor streaking across the sky, it instantly bombarded the figure in front of him. The figure was instantly pierced through. Under the devastating sword Qi, the figure was directly shattered into pieces.
After the sword light shattered the enemy, it turned around in mid-air like a meteor streaking across the sky. As Baili Yan's sword returned to its scabbard, everything looked so carefree and calm.
Baili Yan had a faint smile on his face as he stepped through the door and entered the sixth level.
To him, the first eight levels of the Star Battle Pagoda were not difficult. Only when he reached the ninth level would he need to use his true strength to pass it. However, that was half a year ago. After half a year of cultivation, his cultivation base had improved and his strength had increased. He should be able to pass the ninth level faster. As for whether he could pass the tenth level, Baili Yan hoped that he could.
On the third level of the Star Battle Pagoda, Chen Zong pointed his sword forward. After defeating his opponent, the door appeared and he stepped into the fourth level.
The reason was simple. To Chen Zong, these opponents were all very important. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to experience the martial arts of the inner universe, Chen Zong could have rushed up at an even faster speed. That speed would have made Baili Yan feel despair.
On the fourth level, Chen Zong first observed the martial arts of his opponents and then counterattacked to kill them.
The martial arts of the inner universe and the outer universe were not very different. However, if one looked at the details, they were indeed more exquisite and gave off a more complete feeling.
When it came to the cultivation civilization, perhaps the outer universe was slightly later than the inner universe.
However, he was not here to decipher the secrets or to find out which cultivation civilization was earlier. He was here to find Yu Nianxin and train himself.
Seeing more of the martial arts of the inner universe would be very beneficial to his training.
The higher he went, the stronger his opponents would be. Their martial arts realms would also be more profound. For example, if two people had the same cultivation base and the same cultivation technique, then the difference in their combat strength would be determined by the strength of their martial arts.
If the cultivation technique and martial arts were the same and the cultivation base was the same, then the difference in their combat strength would be closely related to the difference in their martial arts realms.
On the Star Battle Pagoda, the stars lit up one after another. Soon, the ninth star was lit up and emitted a dazzling light.
Gasps could be heard all around the Star Battle Pagoda.
Nine stars!
In fact, it was not that easy to attain a nine-star combat strength. Some people cultivated to the peak of the Heaven Stage, but their combat strength was not at the nine-star level. Some were even at the seven-star level.
Those who had a nine-star combat strength could be called geniuses or even prodigies. As for those who broke through the nine-star level and had the combat strength of a Limiteer, they were no longer at the level of ordinary prodigies. They were at the level of top prodigies or even peerless prodigies.
Bai Liyan reached the ninth floor, and Chen Zong also reached the ninth floor.
The opponents on the ninth level were very powerful and had a true nine-star combat strength. Of course, the opponents on each level of the Star Battle Pagoda were of the lowest level. Only by defeating them would one be able to prove that they had the combat strength of the corresponding star level.
With two sabers in hand, a storm of saber light was set off in an instant. It was dense and violent, erupting with an unparalleled power as it mercilessly slashed at Chen Zong.
Chen Zong's expression turned solemn. This saber technique was so violent and shocking that he had no choice but to draw his sword.
In the first eight levels, the Heavenly Will Sword had not been drawn, but the opponents on the ninth level were very strong. If he did not use his sword, it would be difficult to defeat them with just his sword fingers.
Then, it was time to draw his sword.
The Heavenly Will Sword flashed, and the sword light pierced through the air. It was extremely sharp as it slashed into the storm of saber light. It was like a hot knife through butter.
Chen Zong did not immediately defeat his opponent. Despite having such strength, he continued to force his opponent, forcing him to display more of his saber skills. He even went as far as to use his ultimate saber skills.
Slash!
Under Chen Zong's brilliant swordsmanship, the dual saber wielder was killed. Chen Zong stepped through the door and entered the tenth level of the Star Battle Pagoda.
From the outside, the tenth star of the Star Battle Pagoda was lit up. The light that shot out was extremely dazzling. It was several times more dazzling than when the ninth star was lit up.
The tenth level was a completely different level from the previous nine levels. It was extraordinary.
From one star to nine stars, one was at the level of ordinary fighting power. Beyond nine stars, ten stars was at the level of Limiteer fighting power.
"The tenth level!"
"It's the Flying Star Sword, Bai Liyan. His speed is faster than the last time."
Outside the Star Battle Pagoda, many people were discussing fervently.
"Bai Liyan's strength has increased to such a level?" A youth wearing a black hat pulled down the brim of his hat and muttered in a somewhat doubtful tone.
On the ninth level of the Star Battle Pagoda, Bai Liyan's expression was solemn. He unleashed his full strength. In an instant, the sword light around him shone brightly, becoming extremely dazzling and resplendent. It carried with it a terrifying thunderous might as it blasted out.
This sword light was extremely straight. It was like a thunderbolt that could split the sky, but it was also as dazzling as a shooting star. The splendor of life bloomed in an instant.
It blasted out, breaking through all obstacles and killing his opponent.
The sword light returned, and Bai Liyan panted a few times before slowly calming down. He felt that more than half of the strength in his body had been consumed. It was obvious that this battle had been difficult.
However, compared to half a year ago, when he had almost exhausted all of his strength, he was clearly much better. This meant that his strength had indeed increased.
He stepped into the tenth level!
The opponent on the tenth level was even stronger, far stronger than the one on the ninth level. This was because the difference between a ten-star and nine-star combat power completely exceeded the difference between an eight-star and nine-star combat power. It was an absolute difference.
On the tenth level, Chen Zong was fighting fiercely with his opponent. He was secretly shocked.
Very strong!
The opponent on the tenth level was extremely powerful. If converted to the outer universe, he would be at the level of a half-saint. Moreover, he was not an ordinary half-saint. He was stronger than an ordinary half-saint, but not as strong as a half-saint like the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai clan.
Heavenly Light Sword Drawing Technique!
It was already difficult to defeat his opponent with just his Origin Sword Technique. Chen Zong could only unleash his full strength and perform a sword technique.
Slash!
After the sword light tore through the air, Chen Zong unleashed consecutive attacks. Swallows Fly Together!
Another three sword lights slashed out, directly destroying all of his opponent's strength and killing him.
A door appeared. That was the door to the eleventh level of the Star Battle Pagoda. Stepping into it would allow one to enter the eleventh level.
In the outside world, the eleventh star on the Star Battle Pagoda shone brightly. Its light became even more intense, several times more dazzling than the tenth level. It was like a blazing sun, emitting light that shocked everyone outside the Star Battle Pagoda.
"He passed it!"
"The Flying Star Sword passed the tenth level."
"That's amazing. As expected of the Baili clan's genius."
Exclamations continued to ring out. The man pinching the brim of his hat was shocked. "Impossible. How could that idiot Bai Liyan have such strength? It's impossible. Not long ago, he was no match for me."
However, when he thought about it, among the ten people, there seemed to be no one more outstanding than Bai Liyan. Bai Liyan was the only candidate who had reached the eleventh level.
No one knew that the person who had reached the eleventh level was not Bai Liyan, but someone who was insignificant to them.
