Believe in the country, believe in the doctor, don't spread rumors, don't cause trouble, hope that the epidemic will be controlled as soon as possible, and hope that everyone can be healthy.)
On the third floor of the Thousand Kills Pagoda, a sword light flashed and a figure was cut in half. Immediately, Chen Zong took a step forward and entered the fourth floor.
Standing on the fourth floor, Chen Zong revealed a trace of doubt before his opponent appeared.
Compared to the Eternal Path, the difficulty of the Thousand Kills Pagoda seemed to be much lower?
It didn't make sense.
It was difficult for him to step into the second stage of the Eternal Path, so he guessed that he could only reach the second floor of the Thousand Kills Pagoda, or at most, the third floor. But now, he had passed the third floor and entered the fourth floor. Moreover, it wasn't very difficult. On the contrary, it was somewhat easy.
This made Chen Zong surprised and puzzled.
He couldn't help but speculate. Was the difficulty of the Thousand Kills Pagoda much lower than the Eternal Path?
There were ten floors of the Thousand Kills Pagoda, and each floor could be divided into ten waves of strong enemies. The first wave was one person, the second wave was two people, and so on. The tenth wave was ten people.
The strength of the enemies on each floor was the same, but the pressure brought by the large number of enemies would increase dramatically.
Simply put, the strength of the enemies on the first floor was at the level of those who had just entered the Chaos Real Ranking. The second floor doubled, the third floor doubled again. According to this pattern, the strength of the enemies on the fourth floor would also double. As for whether it was true or not, he would soon know.
It didn't take long for the first wave of enemies to appear on the fourth level. They exuded an extremely terrifying killing intent that was twice as strong as the killing intent on the third level. If an ordinary expert on the Real Chaotic Ranking were to face such a killing intent, he would immediately tremble.
It was too strong, too strong.
But this kind of killing intent was nothing to Chen Zong.
When the opponent appeared, he didn't say a word and rushed over with a cold killing intent. Chen Zong drew his sword to meet the attack.
From the first to the third floor, Chen Zong only used the Single Heart Sword Technique, and he didn't use his full strength.
With the first move, Chen Zong probed the opponent's strength, and he still didn't need to use his full strength.
Kill!
Not long after, the second wave of enemies appeared. There were two strong killing intents from the left and right, locking onto Chen Zong.
The third wave!
The fourth wave!
The fifth wave!
Soon, ten strong enemies of the tenth wave appeared and joined forces to besiege Chen Zong. None of the ten strong enemies was a match for Chen Zong alone, but when they joined forces, they brought a lot of pressure to Chen Zong.
However, it only added a little more pressure. In the end, they were defeated and killed by Chen Zong one by one.
The Thousand-Kills Pagoda tested strength, combat experience, and techniques. Chen Zong had experienced countless battles and had faced countless life-and-death battles and even desperate situations, but he had survived them all. In terms of life-and-death experience, few people at the True Sage Realm could compare to Chen Zong.
This was because the current True Saint Realm, their birth and cultivation environment were far better than Chen Zong's. At that time, he was a complete mortal.
Stepping onto the fifth floor, Chen Zong was even more confused.
The Thousand Kills Pagoda shouldn't be so different from the Myriad Ancient Path.
What was the mystery behind this?
The opponent on the fifth floor was twice as strong as the opponent on the fourth floor, but Chen Zong still passed.
Next was the sixth floor, which was twice as strong as the fifth floor. It became even more terrifying, causing Chen Zong to have no choice but to use 100% of his strength to use the Single Hearted Sword Technique to defeat and kill his opponent.
The seventh floor was even stronger. He could not pass it just by relying on the Single Hearted Sword Technique. He had to use his ultimate move and rely on the power of his ultimate move to defeat and kill his opponent.
Following that, Chen Zong stepped onto the eighth floor. At this point, Chen Zong's confusion deepened.
Yes.
In the current Illumination Ancient Hall, only the twelve royal disciples had reached the eighth floor of the Thousand-Kills Pagoda, and he was the thirteenth.
However, it was difficult for him to even step into the second stage of the Myriad Ancient Path.
The opponent on the eighth floor of the Thousand-Kills Pagoda surged with killing intent like a tsunami. It attacked crazily as if it wanted to devour Chen Zong. It was as violent as a stormy sea.
It destroyed everything, drowned everything, and devoured everything. Compared to the opponent on the seventh floor, it was twice as powerful.
The difference was very obvious.
Chen Zong's expression was solemn.
On the seventh floor, he had to unleash 100% of his strength and use his ultimate move to pass, and it was not that easy. In that case, the difficulty of the eighth floor would increase drastically. Chen Zong was not confident that he could pass it.
However, before this, he had not activated the Ancient God Sword Armor.
If he activated the Ancient God Sword Armor, his strength, speed, and defense would increase by three times, and his strength would also increase by several times. It would naturally be easier for him to pass the Thousand-Kills Pagoda.
The first wave of opponents from the eighth level rushed over, bringing with them terrifying killing intent akin to tsunamis. Their eyes were cold to the extreme as they shot out beams of light that seemed capable of tearing apart everything. This kind of killing intent almost caused Chen Zongyou to suffocate.
It was shockingly powerful.
In an instant, the opponent's figure swayed and his spear trembled, piercing through the sky. It was a very simple spear move, but it was also a move that had the simplicity of the Great Dao. It was a spear that had returned to its original state. It had abandoned all magnificence and only retained its murderous nature.
The killing intent contained in this spear was condensed to the extreme, causing Chen Zong's eyes to narrow unconsciously as his heart trembled.
He drew his sword!
With a flash of sword light, Chen Zong burst out with all his strength. The Single Hearted Sword Technique seemed to have turned into a long river of sword light that surged forward. Every sword was extremely tyrannical, and the Sword Qi surged and the sword intent erupted, as if it could destroy everything.
An intense battle ensued.
After fighting a few times, Chen Zong was sure that his opponent was very strong. He was not weaker than Celestial Swords and Celestial Sword King Wu Jue. Of course, he was still weaker than Chen Zong. However, under normal circumstances, it would not be easy for him to defeat him.
What if there were two of them?
What if there were three of them?
What if there were ten Five Ultimate Sword Gods?
How terrifying would that be?
What about the ninth floor?
What about the highest tenth floor?
What level of strength would those opponents have reached?
It was unimaginable.
It was no wonder that no one had passed through the tenth floor until now. In fact, there were very few people who had passed through the ninth floor since ancient times. In the current Ancient Illumination Palace, there was not a single person who had passed through the ninth floor, and the highest was the eighth floor.
With a thought, Chen Zong swung his sword across the sky, and with his superb swordsmanship, he repelled his opponent and controlled the rhythm of the battle. His killing intent filled the air and suppressed his opponent.
Kill!
After the first opponent was killed, his figure quickly dissipated. In less than ten breaths of time, the second wave of opponents appeared. Surprisingly, there were two of them. As soon as they appeared, they carried extremely terrifying killing intent as they attacked from the left and right.
This battle was more difficult, but Chen Zong still passed through it.
In the third wave, there were three opponents who were at the same level as the Five Ultimate Sword God. It would be fine if they fought separately, but the three opponents joined forces and cooperated quite well. For a moment, Chen Zong was under great pressure.
Break out!
After a tough battle, with superb swordsmanship and incomparably rich combat experience, he finally killed the three strong opponents one by one.
In the fourth wave, four strong opponents attacked together, and that terrifying killing intent attacked.
Chen Zong's body trembled uncontrollably as he felt the pressure.
A tough battle!
Another round of tough battle. If it were not for the Mixed Yuan Heart Force's fast recovery speed, Chen Zong would not have been able to hold on.
Defeated!
Defeated!
Chen Zong could not help but let out a long breath, feeling a little tired.
The fifth wave came, and the five strong opponents were even more terrifying.
With all his strength, Chen Zong defeated the five strong opponents one by one. In the sixth wave, after killing four strong opponents, he could not hold on anymore and was defeated.
In fact, before he was defeated, Chen Zong could have activated the Ancient God Sword Armor, but on second thought, he suppressed this thought. There was no need to activate the Ancient God Sword Armor for the time being.
Anyway, there was more than one chance to challenge the Thousand Kills Pagoda. As long as one was a disciple of the Ancient Illumination Palace, they could challenge it at any time.
After being defeated, his figure faded and he appeared outside the Thousand Kills Pagoda.
Immediately, the stone tablet under the Thousand Kills Pagoda flickered with light as a new name appeared on the stone tablet.
Fifth!
The words Peerless Sword Saint Chen Zong suddenly appeared in the fifth place. The original sixth place was pushed down to the sixth place, and the names after that were also pushed down by one place.
Looking at his name listed in the fifth place, Chen Zong raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
The twelve royal disciples were publicly acknowledged as the strongest. Out of the seven hundred plus royal disciples in the Ancient Illumination Palace, the twelve strongest were all peerless experts who had reached the eighth level of the Thousand Kills Pagoda. As for himself, he had also reached the eighth level of the Thousand Kills Pagoda, but he had been defeated in the sixth wave and was ranked fifth.
In other words, the first four were either defeated in the sixth wave but killed one more strong opponent than him, or they passed the sixth wave and reached the seventh or even the eighth wave. As for which wave they reached, it was not clear.
'If I activate the Ancient God Sword Armor, passing the sixth wave won't be a problem. Even the seventh wave won't be a problem. I think I can pass the eighth wave too.' Chen Zong speculated. However, it was hard to say if he could pass the ninth wave. As for whether he could pass the tenth wave, that was unknown.
'It was difficult for me to reach the second stage of the Ancient Path, but I reached the eighth level of the Thousand Kills Pagoda and am ranked fifth.' Chen Zong was even more puzzled.
Where did it go wrong?
Why was there such a difference?
Logically speaking, based on his achievement of reaching the eighth level of the Thousand Kills Pagoda and being ranked fifth, his achievement in the Ancient Path shouldn't be much worse. At the very least, he should be able to reach the seventh stage.
But that wasn't the case. Why was that?
With such doubts, Chen Zong left the Thousand Kills Pagoda and headed to the Dao King Pillar. He wanted to test it again to see if he could leave a mark on the Dao King Pillar.
The Dao King Pillar was a hundred-meter-tall pillar that towered above the ground. It was as thick as a few people hugging it. There were marks on it. These marks were thick, thin, long, and short. Some were very deep while some were shallow. There should be more than a hundred of them.
However, what caught Chen Zong's attention was the twelve marks. Or rather, the aura of the twelve marks was very strong, far stronger than the other marks.
The disciples of the Twelve Kings!
The twelve powerful auras were left behind by the disciples of the Twelve Kings.
As for the other marks, they were relatively weaker, but they were also quite powerful and contained different profundities.
The Dao King Pillar was a very clear mark. Whether one could leave a mark on the Dao King Pillar was a dividing line.
Those who could leave a mark on the Dao King Pillar were considered top-notch or even top-notch among the True Saints of the entire Divine Dynasty.
Chen Zong was not in a hurry to leave a mark. Instead, he carefully observed the marks and felt the profundities contained within them.
