The four incomplete universes continued to merge, and in the process of merging, it triggered spontaneous combustion disasters, causing countless deaths and injuries. Countless stars fell apart, and countless worlds collapsed as a result. Countless lands and skies shattered, and countless creatures and dead spirits turned into dust.
Some well-hidden relics also appeared as a result, and countless treasures appeared. Many cultivators also obtained opportunities from them, and since then, they had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Change!
Every day, the universe was changing, and it could be said to be a world-changing change. However, all of this had nothing to do with Chen Zong, because Chen Zong was trapped in a chaotic cage. It was a restraint, but also a kind of protection.
Only by breaking the cage could one leave, but to break the cage, one would need to be more powerful. If one was not powerful enough, one could only be trapped here. There was no danger to one's life, but one could not leave.
Everywhere was gray, and one could not see the sky, the earth, or anything. It was fine for a short period of time, but as time went on, one might be driven crazy.
Now, Chen Zong did not feel anything special.
He drew his sword, and the sword light suddenly broke through the air and slashed directly at the gray chaotic cage, trying to cut it open.
Chen Zong did not expect to be able to cut it open with one strike. He just wanted to give it a try.
The sword light slashed into the gray chaotic airflow, and was immediately melted and obliterated, directly turning into nothingness.
"So powerful!" Chen Zong's pupils could not help but shrink. His strike just now was only a move of the Single Hearted Sword Technique, but it was also very powerful. It was at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, but it could not do anything. It was obliterated by the chaotic airflow, and could not penetrate the layer of chaotic airflow at all.
"Again!"
Explode, Divine Firmament!
An extremely fast strike with astonishing penetrating power was launched, but it was still obliterated by the chaotic airflow.
The third strike, three times the power of Divine Firmament.
However, this strike was still obliterated by the chaotic airflow.
The fourth strike, three times the power of Taihao!
The fifth strike, three times the power of Eternal Stars!
The sixth strike, three times the power of all things in the world!
Failure, failure, failure …
Failure after failure caused Chen Zong to be even more shocked.
This was especially true for the Return of All Things in the Heavens and Earth. Its power was extremely terrifying. It was pure destruction and annihilation. However, it only managed to annihilate a few strands of chaotic airflow before it was completely exhausted and shattered by the other chaotic airflow.
"From the looks of it, the power of the Return of All Things in the Heavens and Earth must be increased by at least ten times before it can forcefully break through the chaotic airflow and break through the shackles of the chaotic cage." Chen Zong was even more shocked when he made such a calculation.
Ten times!
At the very least, he would need to increase his power by tenfold on top of his original threefold power. That was an astonishing increase that not even a Sacred Ancestor would be able to achieve.
Just thinking about it made Chen Zong feel suffocated. It was unbelievable that he could increase his power by at least ten times in the future. Maybe he could do it in the future, but he didn't know how long it would take.
If he had the Ocean-Suppressing Pearl, he might be able to do it under full power.
Here, Chen Zong had already tried. His Mixed Yuan Heart Force was harder to cultivate than in the outside world, and the improvement was very slow. Although the Mixed Yuan Heart Force was not very dependent on the environment, it could not be completely removed. Although it could still be improved in the chaotic cage, it would be very, very slow. In other words, it was difficult for him to increase his strength through cultivation.
"Since I can't improve my cultivation, I can only start from swordsmanship and unique skills."
"My Single Hearted Swordsmanship still has room for improvement, and the Four Unique Skills can also be improved. However, no matter how much I improve, it will be difficult to increase their power by more than ten times."
Deep thought!
Chen Zong kept pondering. It was too difficult to increase the power of swordsmanship and unique skills by ten times. It was extremely difficult, to the point of being unbelievably difficult.
However, it was not impossible. At least, when he was about to fight with the powerful Demigod-level demon, the sword that he was about to unleash had already surpassed his own limits. It could be said that he had already surpassed half of his limits. He had taken one step over the threshold and stepped into a new realm.
Although that was not his true realm, it had left an impression on him. It gave him a more intuitive and clear direction to move forward. At least he did not have to blindly fumble about, but had a goal.
"The next realm." Chen Zong's eyes were shining. "If I can really understand the next realm of swordsmanship, the power of my sword will be greatly improved. However, it should not be able to directly increase it by ten times."
Chen Zong had never heard of increasing the power of swordsmanship and swordsmanship by more than ten times when the realm of swordsmanship and swordsmanship was improved. It would be amazing if it could be improved by ten times.
"Even if it is improved by five times, it will be good." Chen Zong thought to himself. He would improve the realm of swordsmanship, even if it was five times first. Then, he could make breakthroughs in other aspects and continue to improve until it was ten times stronger. Then, he could forcibly break through the chaotic airflow.
However, Chen Zong still had doubts in his heart.
If he could forcibly break through the chaotic airflow by ten times, would he really be able to break the cage of chaos?
It was hard to say. However, he could not even break through the chaotic airflow now, let alone other things.
The road had to be taken step by step.
Now, he would first comprehend the mysteries of swordsmanship and swordsmanship at a higher level and try to master it as soon as possible. In addition, the message left by the will of the universe clearly stated that the last bit of Origin had been given to the Heavenly Will Sword, which would allow the sword to transform. How would it transform?
Thinking of this, Chen Zong could not help but carefully feel it. With this feeling, he immediately felt that the Heavenly Will Sword was indeed transforming.
No, to be precise, it was not transforming, but repairing. This was because the original Heavenly Will Sword was very powerful. It was at least at the level of a supreme treasure. However, because the battle was too intense and the opponent was too strong, the Heavenly Will Sword was damaged and broken even though it was killed in the end.
The bit of Origin given by the will of the universe was not much compared to the Origin of the Heavenly Way of the universe. It was only a very small part, not even one percent. However, it contained amazing power.
That bit of Origin of the Heavenly Way of the universe had accelerated the restoration of the Heavenly Will Sword, allowing it to transform to the level of a divine implement.
"I wonder if it can become a supreme treasure in the end," Chen Zong could not help but think to himself. "Also, what is the ability that the will of the universe spoke of?"
Casting aside his thoughts, Chen Zong began to comprehend the swordsmanship.
Sometimes, he quietly sat cross-legged in the void to comprehend. Sometimes, he would stand up and draw his sword to practice his swordsmanship. The restoration of the Heavenly Will Sword was not affected by this at all.
Time passed unconsciously as he comprehended and cultivated. However, within the cage of chaos, Chen Zong could not feel the passage of time at all. Everything seemed to be still.
The gray color, the seemingly endless flow of time, coupled with the fact that he could not make a breakthrough repeatedly while comprehending and cultivating, gradually, a trace of darkness grew in his heart.
"Damn it, why … why can't I make a breakthrough?
I'm clearly just a little bit away from a breakthrough. Why can't I make a breakthrough? "
Irritated, Chen Zong felt extremely irritated.
Irritated, this was the accumulated frustration from the repeated failures of breaking through and the oppressive environment of this place for a long time. This irritability had reached an extreme, to the point where Chen Zong could no longer ignore or contain it. Finally, it completely exploded.
Destruction!
Chen Zong's heart was filled with extreme irritation. This irritation urged Chen Zong's heart to transform into a desire for destruction. He wanted to destroy everything.
However, Chen Zong did not completely lose his rationality. The Heavenly Will Sword also sensed Chen Zong's current state of mind. Suddenly, the sword trembled, and a wave of coldness swept over, strengthening Chen Zong's remaining rationality, which was like a candle flickering in the wind.
After that, Chen Zong closed his eyes, and his eyelids covered his eyes that were bloodshot and filled with madness.
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
His originally chaotic aura also gradually calmed down. It was as if a violent storm was gradually calming down. His breathing began to become rhythmic. His breathing became more rhythmic, and his breathing became more rhythmic. It also became longer and more subtle.
After a quarter of an hour, Chen Zong opened his eyes again. The bloodshot eyes were gone, and so was the madness. There was only calmness, as calm as the abyss. His heart was also as calm as the abyss.
Because Chen Zong knew very well that irritability and anger could not solve the problem at all. Even if he let himself freely vent, it would only be a moment of pleasure. Although it was a moment of pleasure, the meaning behind it was very profound, which was that he could not control himself.
Controlling oneself was not only to control one's body, but also to control one's heart. To control one's body and mind, to control everything, was the true control of oneself.
If one could not control one's body and mind and let go of any one of them, it would become a habit. Often, one would have the thought of venting only once. Once it happened, it would be inevitable to let it go a second time, a third time, and after a few more times, it would be difficult to stop. In the end, it would become a habit, and one would just let it go.
Controlling one's body and mind was not temporary, and it was also permanent. No matter when and where, it would not change because of external factors and internal factors. It was very, very difficult. At least, one thing was proven just now. Chen Zong, with his strong willpower, almost couldn't bear it. If not for the Heavenly Sword of Will to remind him at the last moment, and the fact that he did have a little bit of rationality left, he might really have vented.
Venting once was nothing. The scary thing was that after that, it was as if a crack had appeared in a thousand-mile dike.
After calming down, Chen Zong did not immediately comprehend. Instead, he emptied his mind and entered a kind of calmness, neither too fast nor too slow.
Cultivation was never something that could be achieved overnight. Instead, it needed to be improved slowly and accumulated bit by bit. More haste, less speed.
"Maybe I can find inspiration from the restoration of the Heavenly Sword of Will," Chen Zong said to himself.
During this time, Chen Zong had comprehended part of the mysteries of the power of the Chaos Cage. This kind of chaotic airflow was formed by a very terrible power. This power had surpassed the power of the Divine Ancestor level. It was a kind of essential transformation.
Therefore, Chen Zong associated it with the transformation of power brought about by comprehending the first level of the True Essence of the Universe after the Divine Ancestor level.
In other words, if he wanted to break the Chaos Cage, he had to comprehend the first level of the True Essence of the Universe.
However, it was very difficult to comprehend the first level of the True Essence of the Universe. Even in the core universe, there were many Divine Ancestor level masters, but only a few could comprehend the first level of the True Essence of the Universe and transform their power.
Those people in the core universe could be regarded as real masters. As for those who comprehended the second level of the True Essence of the Universe, they became demigods.
