The tenth floor of the Thousand Kills Pagoda was empty, and a figure appeared from the void.
Standing on the tenth floor of the Thousand Kills Pagoda, Chen Zong carefully sensed it. It didn't seem to be any different from the previous ninth floor. However, just as Chen Zong had this thought, everything in front of him seemed to ripple like water, and his appearance changed drastically.
As the flames spread, a volcano vaguely appeared in the distance. It constantly spewed out dazzling magma, causing the ground to crack. Thick magma flowed through the countless cracks, giving off endless heat.
Immediately after, a violent roar sounded. Countless magma soared into the sky, transforming into a ten-meter-tall magma figure. Its entire body seemed to be burning.
Flame Demon!
A Flame Demon, a Flame Demon that emitted a tyrannical aura.
"Demon Emperor-level!" Chen Zong was shocked. The first opponent on the tenth floor was really a Demon Emperor-level enemy. A burst of fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
Chen Zong didn't immediately equip the Ancient God Sword Armor. Instead, he used his current strength to face the Demon Emperor-level Flame Demon. He wanted to test how strong his current strength was.
After a series of improvements, his strength had improved a lot from his original foundation, and he was closer to the Demon Emperor-level. Then, he wanted to test how strong he could be.
Challenging the Thousand Kills Pagoda and being killed wouldn't really kill him. There wouldn't be any negative effects. That was why Chen Zong dared to do so.
The Balrog let out a furious roar, and the flames around its body suddenly sprang up. Soon after, it opened its mouth and blasted out a meter-sized magma fireball, which carried with it a terrifying, violent, and blazing power that could destroy everything as it blasted forward.
Slash!
Chen Zong immediately used the secret sword, Divine Firmament. The sword tore through the sky and slashed at the magma fireball. The sword light was destroyed by the magma fireball in an instant. The power of this sword was indeed very strong, but it still couldn't split the magma fireball. However, it did make the magma fireball pause for an instant.
With a flash, Chen Zong dodged the magma fireball's attack. Body and sword as one, he broke through the air and slashed at the Flame Demon at an extremely high speed. However, he couldn't cut it in half. The Flame Demon's body was too strong.
In the fierce battle, Chen Zong was at a disadvantage, but he had also tested the Flame Devil's true strength.
"It's barely at the Demon Emperor-level. It's not really at the Demon Emperor-level," Chen Zong said to himself.
The Demon Overlord level was divided into three levels: ordinary, top, and extreme. The strength of this Balrog could only be regarded as having one foot in the ordinary Demon Overlord level, but even so, he was no match for it. However, with his current powerful strength, he could still contend with it.
Since the establishment of the Ancient Illumination Palace's Thousand Kills Tower, no Ancient Illumination Palace disciple had been able to clear it. However, there had been someone who had reached the tenth level. As for what level they had reached, no one knew.
Entering the tenth floor and passing the first wave of the tenth floor were two completely different concepts.
Entering the tenth floor but not being able to pass the first wave meant that one had the strength of a peak Demon King. And passing the first wave meant that one had the strength of a Demon Emperor. Without the strength of a Demon Emperor, one would not be a match for this Flame Demon that barely reached the level of a Demon Emperor.
Arm!
This time, Chen Zong decided to go all out and see if he could pass the tenth floor. What was the mysterious reward?
Armed with the General-Grade Ancient Divine Sword Armor, Chen Zong's aura skyrocketed. His strength became even more tyrannical, reaching an astonishing height.
Swing!
Executing the One Mind Sword Technique, the sword light pierced through the air. Immediately, it split apart the magma fireball that the Flame Demon shot out. It continued its attack with irresistible force.
Slash! Slash!
Slash! Slash! The Flame Demon that barely reached the level of a Demon Emperor was no match for Chen Zong. Originally, after Chen Zong equipped the General-Grade Ancient Divine Sword Armor, his strength was only at the level of an ordinary Demon Emperor.
After mastering the Divine Sword Technique, his strength increased by a few notches, becoming even more tyrannical.
In the end, the Flame Demon was killed by Chen Zong.
Suddenly, an ancient bronze gate appeared in front of Chen Zong. The patterns on it were ancient and mysterious. Chen Zong was slightly startled. First, he recovered his strength, then he retreated from the ancient bronze gate and stepped into it.
The whistling sound of the wind was mixed with waves of piercingly cold air that assaulted Chen Zong's face. It was like the cutting of blades, and it actually caused Chen Zong to feel waves of indescribable coldness assaulting him, as if it wanted to freeze him.
This was a world of wind and snow. The change from the world of magma to the world of wind and snow was huge.
Standing in the wind and snow, Chen Zong quickly looked over. The endless wind and snow continued to sweep through the world. A figure gradually appeared in the wind and snow, slowly walking toward him. It was an elegant figure.
Its whole body was snow-white, like a leopard. Its eyes were icy blue, and its streamlined body looked extremely vigorous. Such a beautiful and elegant life form, when a pair of icy blue eyes stared at Chen Zong, immediately brought an extreme threat, a threat that came from the bottom of his heart.
This threat grew from the bottom of his heart and spread out like a surging tide. In an instant, Chen Zong was extremely vigilant, but also had an indescribable sense of excitement.
He drew his sword and slashed. The sword light broke through the air.
Chen Zong was armed with the Ancient God Sword Armor, and his strength was fully unleashed. He displayed the Divine Sword Technique, the Five Great Secret Sword Killing Moves, the Blood Sword Art, and so on. As for the Hundred Swords Art, he did not display it because the Red Star Sword's level was not high enough, and its power was not strong enough. The power of the Hundred Swords Art was limited.
Even so, Chen Zong was still at a disadvantage.
This elegant and beautiful white leopard's strength surpassed that of a Flame Demon and an ordinary Demon Emperor. It had barely reached the level of a peak Demon Emperor. It was not something Chen Zong could contend against.
After a fierce battle, Chen Zong's strength was exhausted and he was killed. His challenge to the Thousand Kills Pagoda came to an end here.
Chen Zong appeared outside the Thousand Kills Pagoda. On the stone tablet outside the Thousand Kills Pagoda, Peerless Sword Saint Chen Zong was ranked first again. Moreover, his shocking result was shown: tenth floor.
He believed that when the other palace disciples saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. It would be another storm.
Chen Zong retracted his gaze and turned to leave the Thousand Kills Pagoda. He returned to the secret palace, but he was thinking about why the tenth floor was different from the first nine floors.
The first nine floors had one wave, two waves, three waves, all the way up to ten waves of enemies. The number of enemies increased, but the first wave of the tenth floor was clearly different from the second wave. The first wave of Flame Demons had barely reached the Demon Emperor level, while the second wave's opponent, the elegant leopard, had barely reached the peak Demon Emperor level.
Based on this, if there was a third wave, would the opponent's strength barely reach the peak Demon Emperor level?
Would there be a fourth wave?
If there was, what level would the opponent's strength reach?
It was unimaginable.
Chen Zong finally understood why no palace disciple of the Ancient Illumination Palace had ever challenged the Thousand Kills Pagoda.
Just the first wave of Flame Demons on the tenth floor was already very powerful. Without the strength of a Demon Emperor, it was impossible to defeat them. Among the three God Dynasties, there were very few True Saints who could reach the Demon Emperor level. There were only a small number of them.
Moreover, the second wave of opponents on the tenth floor were barely at the peak Demon Emperor level.
If there was really a third wave of opponents, then their strength might barely reach the peak Demon Emperor level, which was even more terrifying.
The difference in strength between the three Demon Emperors was still very obvious.
After another period of bitter cultivation, Chen Zong continued to comprehend the Sword Dao.
However, after reaching such a realm, it became even more difficult to improve. Chen Zong knew that he had reached a bottleneck, and the improvement of his strength had begun to stagnate.
Chen Zong accepted this calmly. This was an inevitable situation. No matter how high one's potential was, they would eventually reach a bottleneck. No one could avoid it.
Chen Zong still had no clue how to break through to the Demigod level. However, his strength could still continue to improve.
Ancient Divine Sword Armor!
As long as he upgraded the Ancient Divine Sword Armor to the King level, his strength would skyrocket.
The second was the Heavenly Will Sword. If he restored the Heavenly Will Sword to the level of a Demigod Artifact, he could also obtain its feedback and further improve his strength.
The third was the Chaos Sacred Artifact.
On this day, Chen Zong finally received the news.
It had been a few years since he came out of the Dark Sky Empire. In these few years, his strength had improved significantly, but he had reached a bottleneck. However, there was hope for him to continue improving his strength.
Within the Ancient Illumination Palace, in the palace that was responsible for the exchange of treasures.
"These are the Ancient Demon Origins and Ancient Demon Origins that you ordered." Luo Feishan pointed at the pile of Ancient Demon Origins and Ancient Demon Origins in front of him.
Chen Zong took out a large amount of Divine Origin. There was a total of fifty Divine Origin, which was a huge sum.
However, he did not have much Divine Origin left. He only had ten Divine Origin left.
"Also, this is the Peak Chaos Sacred Artifact Sword Set that you wanted." Luo Feishan took out a huge sword.
The greatsword was three meters long, as wide as two palms, and as thick as three fingers. The body of the greatsword was black, and it was covered with dark gold patterns. The patterns intersected, and between each pattern, it seemed to be the shape of a sword blade.
When Chen Zong saw the huge sword, he was stunned. He immediately felt a strong aura from it. It was very shocking. It was a Peak Chaos Sacred Artifact. It was not something that ordinary Peak Chaos Sacred Artifacts could compare to.
It could be said that the huge sword was much stronger than the Heavenly Will Sword.
However, what he wanted was a Set. Why was there only one?
Chen Zong looked at Luo Feishan with some confusion.
"This sword is called the Thousand Star Extreme Break Sword." Luo Feishan smiled and explained, "The Thousand Star Extreme Break Sword was personally forged by Lord Tie Xing. Lord Tie Xing is a Blacksmith Grandmaster and a great Demigod."
Hearing Luo Feishan's words, Chen Zong's eyes widened in shock.
Demigod!
The Thousand Star Extreme Break Sword was forged by a Demigod Blacksmith Grandmaster.
"The secret of the Thousand Star Extreme Break Sword is that it can be divided into one thousand smaller swords." Luo Feishan smiled and pointed at the huge sword. The huge sword trembled and the dark golden patterns on it lit up. There was a faint sound as the sword began to separate into ten smaller swords.
Chen Zong's eyes lit up.
"How much Divine Origin?" Chen Zong asked immediately.
"It was personally forged by a great Demigod. It is also a Peak Chaos Sacred Artifact. Therefore, it is not cheap." Luo Feishan smiled and said, "Twenty Divine Origin."
Chen Zong was slightly stunned. After calculating, he still did not have enough Divine Origin. He was still short of five Divine Origin. He had no choice but to sell the Blood Sword Secret Art.
The Blood Sword Secret Art was a set with the Blood Imperial Sword. It was also a Peak Secret Art. However, because Chen Zong also knew it, it was sold for ten Divine Origin.
