There were no stars or moon in the Heavenly Tower, and there was no alternation between day and night. Looking from afar, it was as dark as an abyss, and it was difficult to feel the passage of time.
It was as if time had lost its power here.
Chen Zong did not know how much time had passed. It seemed like a long time, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was not that long. He could not help but feel a little absent-minded. This made Chen Zong feel even more uneasy, and he was even more eager to leave the Heavenly Tower. As for becoming a god, that was too far away.
Throughout the ages, he had never heard of the existence of a true god, except for the secret of becoming a god from the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord and the saying that he could become a god here.
Of course, it could also be that his level was not high enough. But since ancient times, it was extremely rare for someone to become a god. God knew how many years it would take for one to appear.
Was becoming a god attractive to him?
Yes, it was. It was definitely attractive, but the attraction was not as strong as that of the Sword Sharpening Mountain Lord.
At least, what he was seeking now was not to become a god, but to break through to the next big realm.
For Chen Zong, instead of wasting a lot of time and energy to pursue the elusive goal of becoming a god, it was better to first comprehend the next realm of the Inner World and then break through.
This was the path that belonged to him, and it was the path that suited him the most. He would go down it firmly, and when he reached the limit, when there was no other way to go, he would consider the so-called method of becoming a god.
Looking at the many corpses, Chen Zong also saw more of the remaining characters. He used the characters of the gods and demons to make inferences. He roughly understood how much of it he could understand, and the more information he could obtain.
The more he knew, the more Chen Zong's heart sank.
Just as Chen Zong stopped to look at some of the characters again, a strong wind suddenly whistled. Immediately, a cold light approached from behind with a shocking killing intent, and directly slashed down. This attack was extremely fierce, and its killing intent was awe-inspiring. Its Qi completely locked onto Chen Zong, leaving no room for escape.
Such a sudden fatal attack. Chen Zong's expression was stern, but he did not panic at all. Instead, in an instant, he took small steps, shifted, and turned around, just in time to avoid the fatal attack. The bone sword in his hand stabbed out. It seemed slow, but it was extremely fast. When the bone sword pierced through the air, it let out an extremely sharp whistle, as if it was a demonic sound.
At the instant that attack arrived, Chen Zong knew that it was a Fiendgod expert based on his perception of aura. Thus, he turned around and launched a merciless counterattack with the intention of killing his opponent.
Although it was only a bone sword and not a real sword, the power it could unleash in Chen Zong's hand was not inferior to a real sword at all.
The seemingly slow sword suddenly made the god or demon feel that it was impossible to dodge. He could only forcibly stop the fatal attack and turn around to resist the sword. His Qi and blood flowed backward, and with a muffled groan, his whole body retreated after the collision of the sword and the saber.
Another sword light immediately pierced through the air, piercing through the sky, and once again emitting a sharp sword whistle. The body of the sword flickered with a white luster in the dusky air, causing people to be unable to help but be dazzled and palpitated. That was the color of the bones, and it was filled with an indescribable deathly aura.
This sword showed all the mysteries of the Single Hearted Swordsmanship.
The first sword that turned around to counterattack was Sword One. Using Chen Zong's strength, it also burst out a power that exceeded his own strength. The technique of using strength was very good, and it changed several times in an instant before it repelled his opponent. This was the superb skill of defeating the strong as the weak.
Technique.
The second sword was Sword Two.
Immediately after, Chen Zong used Sword Three.
Two consecutive sword lights seized the opportunity when the god or demon expert retreated and immediately attacked. The speed of the sword was faster and stronger, but Chen Zong also felt more and more burdened.
The moves of the Single Hearted Swordsmanship became stronger the further they were used, but it also increased the consumption of one's strength, and the burden on one's body would also be greater. After all, the pure use of swordsmanship relied on one's physical strength. If one's body was not strong enough, it would be harder to use the powerful moves.
Sword Two was blocked by his opponent's saber, but Sword Three was faster and stronger, beyond imagination. It directly hit the body of the god or demon expert. The body of a god or demon was indeed very strong, but in the Heavenly Tower, it seemed to have lost its powerful strength. It was immediately pierced and penetrated by the bone sword.
Failing to kill and being injured instead, the god or demon expert was furious, but he also felt very aggrieved.
His cultivation strength had disappeared, and many of his moves could not be used at all. Otherwise, he would not have ended up like this.
Retreat!
Since his sneak attack had failed, and his opponent's swordsmanship was so excellent that it directly injured him, if he continued to fight, there was a possibility that he would be killed by his opponent, so he decisively retreated.
Under the burst of speed, Chen Zong also took a step forward in an instant and directly used the Single Hearted Swordsmanship.
However, when he only took the third step, Chen Zong felt a slight tearing sensation from the muscles in his legs, and there was a piercing pain.
It was the limit again.
The Single Hearted Swordsmanship could only take the first three steps. If he took the fourth step, his legs would not be able to bear it, and his muscles would directly burst open.
However, under such circumstances, three steps were actually enough.
Charge!
In just an instant, Chen Zong's running speed exceeded the limit, and he turned into a stream of light and chased after his opponent at an extremely fast speed. His body and sword became one, and in an instant, he stabbed out three more times.
The Single Hearted Swordsmanship's Sword One, Sword Two, and Sword Three.
In an instant, three sword lights streaked across different trajectories, stabbing towards the god or demon at almost the same time. The three swords were extremely fast, and the god or demon expert immediately dodged with his extraordinary sense of danger. He avoided Sword One, which was aimed at the back of his head, but he could not avoid Sword Two and Sword Three, so he was hit one after another.
Sword Three directly pierced the back of his leg, penetrating his knee, causing his body to sway for a moment and tilt to the side. Even his speed was greatly affected.
In a situation where one had no cultivation strength, the only thing one could rely on was one's body. If one's body was damaged, it would affect one's condition.
Chen Zong, who was extremely experienced in battle, would not let go of such an opportunity.
Kill!
Sword light flashed, and he swung out again. The power of the Single Hearted Sword Technique was pushed to the extreme by Chen Zong.
The god or demon expert roared again and again. He turned around and attacked with his saber. His aura was extremely fierce, and he looked like he was going to fight with his life on the line. However, it was useless. Chen Zong's Single Hearted Sword Technique was too superb, especially after breaking through the shackles, and constantly integrating the mysteries of other swordsmanship. Previously, he had comprehended something from observing Sword Saint Chuyun's Thirty-three Forms of God Slaying in Clouds and Mist. He had also integrated that bit of understanding into the Single Hearted Sword Technique, causing the Single Hearted Sword Technique to improve slightly.
Under the superb swordsmanship, although the god or demon expert's martial arts attainments were not weak, there was still a big gap between him and Chen Zong.
It was a good move to put one's life on the line, but it was useless.
Under the Single Hearted Sword Technique, Chen Zong directly attacked the weak with strength. He pierced through the god's head and killed him directly.
After killing him, Chen Zong tried again and obtained a strand of divinity.
Sure enough, the loss of cultivation was fake. It still existed, but for some reason, he could not sense it and could not use it. It was as if he had lost it. Otherwise, if he had really lost his cultivation, there would not be any divinity left.
This divinity was not bad, but unfortunately, it was useless to him now. He had to put it away first.
Where should he put it?
The storage artifact was not easy to use, so he could only put it in the inner pocket. Fortunately, the divinity would not dissipate.
Then, Chen Zong took the god's saber. Although it was not a sword, it could still exert some power sometimes.
Up until now, he had already encountered two gods or demons in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, but he had only encountered Sword Saint Chuyun. The situation inevitably made Chen Zong a little worried.
Chen Zong did not know how big the Heaven-Reaching Tower was. It seemed that he had walked a very, very long distance, but he still could not see the end. If he looked up, it was dark to the point of being pitch-black, as if he could not see the top.
Inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower, there was not only the earth, but also hills and so on. Except for the fact that there was no sun, moon, and stars, and the four seasons alternated between day and night, it was like a world of its own.
As he continued forward, Chen Zong saw a flight of stairs. It was a spiral staircase that rose from the ground and disappeared into the darkness above.
The spiral staircase seemed to have no end, and he did not know where it led to.
Chen Zong stood at the bottom of the staircase and looked up. He could only see darkness, an extremely deep darkness.
After thinking for a while, Chen Zong began to climb the staircase.
He did not know how big the Heaven-Reaching Tower was. It seemed that he had walked for a long time, but he still had not found anything. Since he saw the spiral staircase, perhaps he could take it. Maybe he would find something else.
Step by step, he kept going up, following the spiral staircase. As he went higher and higher, he gradually disappeared into the darkness above. Even in the darkness, Chen Zong's vision was still greatly affected. He could only vaguely see the staircase under his feet. It was difficult to see anything beyond the staircase clearly. Even if he went a little further, it was completely dark.
Climbing, continuously climbing. Time seemed to have stopped, but Chen Zong felt tired. He felt that the spiral staircase seemed to have no end, but his physical strength was constantly being consumed.
When Chen Zong's physical strength was almost exhausted, he took a step and found that the staircase had disappeared. It was replaced by a flat land, which looked similar to the previous one. It felt as if he had returned to the original place.
After observing for a while, Chen Zong could be sure that this was not the original place. Although it looked similar, there were still subtle differences.
"If that was the first floor of the Heavenspan Divine Pagoda, could this place be considered the second floor?" Chen Zong suddenly had a thought, "If that's the case, how many floors does the Heavenspan Divine Pagoda have?"
From the outside, the Heaven-Reaching Tower was at least ten thousand meters high. In fact, ten thousand meters was not a big deal. It was just that many treasures had their own space inside, so it could not be measured by the number of meters on the outside.
For example, just now, Chen Zong had walked for a long time. He was sure that it was no less than ten thousand meters, but he still could not see the end. But from the outside, it did not seem that big.
