The sky was boundless, and the sea of clouds was endless. On the cliff, a biting cold mountain wind blew, causing the mysterious middle-aged man's clothes to flutter. His long black hair fluttered, and there seemed to be traces of divine light emanating from the ends of his hair.
Who was it?
Who was this person?
"I … You can call me Lord Gu Zhen." The mysterious middle-aged man smiled.
"Lord Gu Zhen …" Chen Zong paused for a moment, and then his expression changed. "You're a demigod?"
With his current strength, only a demigod could make him address him respectfully as Lord.
Otherwise, no matter how high one's status was, as long as one was not a demigod, one would not be worthy of being addressed as Lord. In the world of cultivators, strength was the true guarantee of status.
A demigod!
There was actually a demigod on the tenth floor of the Thousand Kills Pagoda?
It was unimaginable.
However, Chen Zong had a new doubt. How could a demigod stay here?
Or rather, he was no longer in the Thousand Kills Pagoda?
Of course, the person in front of him might not be his real body, but an incarnation or something like that.
No matter what, this was a demigod. Facing a demigod, Chen Zong still felt a little nervous. It was inevitable.
"There's no need to be nervous." Gu Zhen seemed to see the nervousness in Chen Zong's heart. He smiled and said unhurriedly, "I founded the Ancient Illumination Hall and built the Thousand Kills Pagoda. It's been a thousand years since then, but you're the first person to walk in front of me."
Before this, there were indeed palace disciples who had reached the tenth floor of the Thousand Kills Pagoda. However, they had at most passed the first wave and stopped at the second wave. If they could not pass the second wave, they would not be able to walk in front of Gu Zhen.
That was why Gu Zhen said that Chen Zong was the first.
"Show me your ability. If you can obtain my recognition, you will be able to obtain the reward I left in the Thousand Kills Pagoda." Gu Zhen did not say too much. He was a demigod, and a demigod's status was high and mighty. There was no need to say too much to a cultivator below the demigod level.
"As you wish." Chen Zong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. His eyes became brighter and sharper, as if they could pierce through everything like sword light. He locked his gaze on the figure in front of him.
That should not be the true body of a demigod, but just an avatar. However, even if it was the avatar of a demigod, it still possessed incredible power. In a real battle, he would not be able to fight against it.
Arm!
The Ancient God Sword Armor covered his entire body in an instant. After Gu Zhen saw it, he revealed an interested look.
Blood Sword Asura!
In an instant, Chen Zong used his most powerful secret sword technique. A blood-red shadow appeared, and a nine-meter-long blood-red light shot out from his eyes, piercing through everything like the edge of a sword. When the Blood Sword Asura used his full strength, the space in front of him seemed to slow down for a moment.
Everything in the world returned to dust!
A sword pierced through the air. It was used after the Blood Sword Asura, and its power was even more tyrannical.
Two completely different sword lights, each carrying a different power, instantly slashed at the figure standing on the cliff in front of him. The figure did not dodge at all and was hit directly.
However, when the two tyrannical sword lights hit Gu Zhen's figure, they could not push him back at all. They could not hurt him at all. When the tyrannical power came into contact with Gu Zhen's figure, it seemed to be blocked by an indescribable mysterious power. It also seemed to be swallowed up.
"It's not bad, but it's still not enough." Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Anything else?"
"Yes." Chen Zong spat out a word like thunder. With a thought, a huge sword seemed to appear from the void. It was a huge sword that was three meters long. The pitch-black body of the sword was covered with dark golden lines. As they intersected, they looked like sword-shaped imprints.
When the huge sword appeared, Gu Zhen stared at it and was slightly stunned. He seemed to recognize the origin of the sword and smiled.
Chen Zong was completely focused. His expression was extremely solemn, cold, and solemn. He activated his Chaotic Prime Realm to the extreme. His pitch-black hair seemed to dance wildly in the wind. His eyes constantly emitted rays of divine light that could see through everything.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a faint sound. The three-meter-long Thousand Star Extreme Breaking Sword was controlled by Chen Zong's mind. It suddenly emitted rays of light and split into 100 rays.
Each ray of sword light emitted a black and dark golden luster. They surrounded Chen Zong and emitted an extremely tyrannical aura.
Chaotic Prime Heart Force exploded tenfold!
Hundred Swords Technique!
Hundred Swords Become One!
In the next moment, the 100 rays of dark golden sword light merged into one again. The aura continued to stack, surpassing the past and reaching an astonishing height.
Everything in the world returned to dust!
Chen Zong erupted with his full strength, pouring all of his power into the strike. He pushed the Destruction Intent to the limit and unleashed the Annihilation Force without holding back at all.
The dark golden sword light traversed the void and locked onto Gu Zhen from afar. Gu Zhen's expression became more solemn.
Around the dark golden sword light, darkness appeared and spread rapidly. It was like a black hole that devoured everything. It emitted an unparalleled aura of destruction that could destroy everything.
Kill!
Chen Zong used all his strength to unleash this sword light. He unleashed an extremely powerful move and instantly blasted it out. Everywhere it passed, the void collapsed. A boundless pitch-black darkness appeared and constantly emitted an aura that could annihilate everything.
This was the most tyrannical move that Chen Zong could perform. It could not be performed instantaneously and required a certain amount of time to accumulate power.
As the pitch-black destructive sword light approached, Gu Zhen slowly raised a finger and pointed forward. His finger was white and seemed to be surrounded by a layer of crystal clear brilliance. As the brilliance flowed, it streaked across the sky and left a simple trajectory. The trajectory was so natural, like a swallow flying across the sky or a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. It was so smooth and without the slightest intention.
Gu Zhen pointed his finger and directly attacked the darkness and destruction of the sword. After a slight pause, the divine light at his fingertip flickered and faintly disappeared as if it was about to be defeated. It was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
However, in the next moment, the pitch-black destructive sword light trembled. It fluctuated continuously and quickly dissipated.
Even such a tyrannical move could not cause any damage to Gu Zhen, even if Gu Zhen was not his real body and was only an avatar.
However, the essence of a Demigod had already surpassed the True Sage Realm and was on a completely different level. With the power of the True Sage Realm, it was impossible to hurt a Demigod at all. Even if it was an avatar of a Demigod, it still had the extraordinary essence of a Demigod and would be difficult to injure, let alone defeat.
Seeing that his most tyrannical move with all his strength could not cause any damage to his opponent, Chen Zong felt an indescribable sense of depression in his heart.
Was the gap … so big?
It should be known that to perform this move, he had almost exhausted all of his cultivation strength. There was also not much of his tyrannical Divine Will left. In other words, he had already lost the ability to fight again. He could not maintain the Ancient Divine Sword Armor and had withdrawn it into his body. His current strength was at most at the level of an ordinary True Sage.
Could he still not pass the Thousand Kills Pagoda?
Chen Zong's thoughts turned. Facing a Demigod avatar, even if his strength had reached the peak of the Demon Overlord Realm, he would not be able to defeat it.
"That move … is a little interesting." Gu Zhen smiled and looked at the Thousand Star Extreme Break Sword that had flown back to Chen Zong's side. He said neither too fast nor too slow, "It's just a little lacking."
Hearing this, Chen Zong could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, he was not taken over by disappointment and quickly pulled himself together.
If he could not do it this time, then he would try again next time. He believed that his strength could be further improved.
However, his hopes of improving his strength now lay on the Ancient Divine Sword Armor.
If he could upgrade the Ancient Divine Sword Armor to the King Level, he believed that his strength would increase exponentially. At that time, he might be able to gain the recognition of this Demigod.
"Thank you for your guidance, my Lord. Goodbye." Chen Zong bowed with his sword and was about to leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Gu Zhen smiled. "Although it's a little lacking, you're the first person in a thousand years to walk up to me and make me feel a little interested. I'll give you an opportunity."
While Chen Zong was still in a daze, Gu Zhen waved his hand, and a stream of light instantly flew over and landed in Chen Zong's hand.
Chen Zong looked at it and found that it was a token. It was a circular token that was about half the size of a palm. There was a mysterious character on it. Chen Zong recognized the character with a single glance. It was the character 'Gu'.
This word was surprisingly similar to the Ancient Divine Language.
"This is the Ancient Region Token. Refine this token and you can enter the Ancient Region," Gu Zhen said with a smile. Gu Zhen laughed. Immediately, he waved his hand and Chen Zong felt as though everything in front of him was continuously moving backwards. Actually, it was not everything in front of him that was moving backwards. Instead, it was himself that was moving backwards at the speed of light, causing everything in front of him to become faint. It was as though it was an illusion before it finally disappeared without a trace.
When Chen Zong came back to his senses, he found that he had already appeared outside the Thousand Kills Pagoda. Everyone's eyes were on him.
After a few breaths, Chen Zong was completely awake. Holding the circular token in his hand, he turned around and left the Thousand Kills Pagoda, returning to his secret palace.
He needed to properly sort out what had happened today.
After passing through the second wave of the Thousand Kills Pagoda's tenth floor, he encountered a Demigod's clone in the third wave. It was not a powerful enemy who had barely reached the peak of the Demon Emperor level as he had guessed.
What he needed to do was not to defeat the Demigod's clone, but to do his best to display his strength and see if he could get the Demigod's clone's approval. In the end, the Demigod's clone should have given him the Ancient Region Token after obtaining approval.
"Refine this token and you can enter the Ancient Region." Chen Zong lowered his head and looked at the circular token in his hand. The word 'Gu' on it was somewhat similar to the Ancient Divine Language. It seemed to contain endless mysteries.
Ancient Region!
When the territories of the Human Race and the Origin Race merged together, the most powerful ones were the Ancient Region and the Three Great Divine Dynasties.
Of course, the outside world's understanding of the Ancient Region and the Three Great Divine Dynasties was very limited. If Chen Zong had not truly entered the Ancient Divine Dynasty, he would not know anything about the Three Great Divine Dynasties.
The Ancient Region was even more mysterious than the Three Great Divine Dynasties.
Until now, Chen Zong did not know much about the Ancient Region. He only knew that it was the most powerful existence among the Human Race and the Origin Race. In other words, it was the holy land of the Human Race and the Origin Race, the ancestral land.
