The pitch black Tower of Ascension was filled with people. All of them were staring at the light on the first level of the Tower of Ascension. No one thought that the first batch of people would fail on the first level.
After all, those people were all geniuses on the Heaven Ascension List. They represented the most outstanding part of the younger generation in the Ascension Heaven Region. They had also tried to enter the Tower of Ascension before.
Not long after, one of the walls flashed continuously. It was as if someone had jumped directly to the second level.
"Someone has passed the first level."
"Looking at his position, it should be Ghost Sword Xin Wuxing."
"That's right, it's Brother Wuxing," the people of the Xin Clan said proudly.
Among the nine people from the Heaven Ascension List, Xin Wuxing's ranking was the highest. He was ranked fourth, much higher than Xiahou Ba.
Not long after, a second person passed the first level and stepped into the second level.
The first batch of 11 people were all top geniuses. Challenging those of a higher level was as easy as eating and drinking. Therefore, in less than 15 minutes, all 11 of them stepped into the second level.
"The second batch of challengers, come forward," Si Wei's voice sounded. Another 11 people stepped into the Tower of Ascension. Chen Zong was among them.
The second batch of challengers were all on the Minor Heaven Ascension List. Chen Zong's ranking was the highest.
Walking in front of the Tower of Ascension, Chen Zong stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the wall of the Tower of Ascension. A trace of coldness spread through his palm, causing Chen Zong to involuntarily shiver. It was as if he had been doused with ice water. However, he did not feel cold at all. Instead, he felt refreshed.
Immediately after, Chen Zong felt a suction force rapidly spread through his arm and spread throughout his body. He could not resist it at all.
The wall seemed to become extremely soft, like mud. Chen Zong could clearly see his left palm quickly merging into it as if it was being devoured.
Then, it was his arm. Soon, his entire body was swallowed. All he could see was darkness, but he did not feel suffocated at all.
After what seemed like a long time, Chen Zong appeared in the Tower of Ascension in an instant.
The Tower of Ascension had its own space. It was very magical. At a glance, Chen Zong did not see anyone else who had entered. These people had been separated into different spaces.
Suddenly, the darkness was dispelled. Chen Zong could clearly see that he was in a wide circular room. The spiral ceiling seemed to be full of mysteries.
A ray fell down and shone directly on Chen Zong's body.
"Limit of the Ninth True Martial Realm, the limit....
A stiff and cold voice rang out. The first sentence referred to Chen Zong's cultivation, while the second sentence referred to the time he could spend in the tower. He could only stay on each level for two hours at most. If he was unable to reach the next level within two hours, he would be considered to have failed the tower.
.......................
As for the verification of one's cultivation, it was a prelude to the Tower of Ascension itself. After all, in addition to the True Martial Realm, there were also pseudo Transcendents. The True Martial Realm and pseudo Transcendents naturally had different levels of difficulty.
Another ray of light fell and condensed into a figure out of thin air. At the same time, a huge water glass appeared in the corner of the room, dripping water continuously.
It was a person holding a long saber. His whole body was pitch black, but his eyes were glowing red. The aura around him had reached the limit of the Ninth True Martial Realm, not weak at all.
As soon as this person appeared, he immediately took a step forward as fast as the wind. The long black saber broke through the air and slashed down from above. The saber light seemed to be able to split the earth.
The full strength of this saber strike was amazing. It could instantly kill an ordinary Ninth True Martial Realm cultivator.
Chen Zong did not use his sword. With a snap of his fingers, Sword Qi broke through the air and pierced the figure's head, directly disappearing.
Too weak.
This figure's cultivation was at the limit of the Ninth True Martial Realm, but his combat strength was not weak at all. The power of that saber strike was enough to make an early Four-Star Martial Realm cultivator difficult to deal with. However, the gap between him and Chen Zong was still very obvious.
But this also surprised Chen Zong. This kind of starting point seemed to be too high. He had to at least be an early Four-Star Martial Realm cultivator. This was why many people were rejected.
It was no wonder that Ascension City required a combat test before the tower was opened. In addition to other reasons, this difficulty was also a congenital condition. Simply put, if you were not a genius, you would not be able to enter the Tower of Ascension. Even if you had the chance, you would not gain the slightest benefit. It would be a waste of time.
As the figure was shattered by Chen Zong's finger, two more rays of light immediately fell, condensing into two black figures out of thin air. Their aura fluctuations were still at the peak of the ninth level of the Genuine Martial Realm.
These two figures were also holding long black sabers. They immediately attacked Chen Zong from the left and right. Different from the previous figure, they did not use their full strength to attack. Instead, they used sharp saber techniques, which turned into saber shadows all over the sky and attacked Chen Zong.
Chen Zong still did not draw his sword. He used his fingers instead of a sword, and after shattering the saber shadows, he defeated the two black figures at the same time.
Soon, four black figures condensed and attacked Chen Zong with sabers in hand.
The four people attacked from four directions. The saber light was either overbearing, sharp, or endless. The saber Qi was chilling. The four figures' combat strength was at the early Four-Star Martial Realm.
At this time, they even had the momentum of a joint attack, which was more powerful than the four people's random attacks.
Chen Zong still used his fingers instead of a sword to cut through all the saber light and saber Qi. Then, he cut through the bodies of the four figures with unstoppable sharpness and defeated them again.
Then, eight black figures condensed around him and quickly moved around Chen Zong. Saber Qi filled the air, like the roar of dragons and snakes.
These eight people still had the combat strength of the early Four-Star Martial Realm, but the momentum of their joint attack was more obvious.
The difference between the same combat strength and the joint attack was obvious.
For example, eight warriors of the same combat strength were fighting against one person, but they fought separately. In the end, they would be defeated one by one. However, if they were proficient in the joint attack, they could fully mobilize their strength to cover their weaknesses and make full use of their advantages. In this way, they could trap and even kill the opponent.
However, the difference between the early Four-Star Martial Realm and Chen Zong's combat strength was too big. They were easily defeated by Chen Zong. However, this was not the end. Sixteen figures condensed, and they all had the combat strength of the early Four-Star Martial Realm.
However, the sixteen figures were different from before. They did not surround and attack Ye Futian directly. Instead, two of them took the lead, followed by four others, and then eight others. The last two suddenly appeared in the sky and struck down with their long sabers like lightning. This was another kind of joint attack.
If it was an intermediate Four-Star Martial Realm, he would definitely die facing such a joint attack. Even if it was an advanced Four-Star Martial Realm, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage.
However, Chen Zong was not a Four-Star Martial Realm. Facing such a joint attack, he would not panic. Instead, he dealt with it calmly. He waved his sword finger. It looked simple, but it contained amazing mysteries. It broke all the attacks directly like a breeze blowing through willows.
Then, the sixteen figures stopped in the air and dispersed.
However, thirty-two figures condensed out of thin air. They were even faster. They pounced on Chen Zong from all directions with sabers in their hands. They were so dense that they covered the sky like dark clouds. The saber light was cold and the saber shadows were like rolling clouds. It was terrifying.
Chen Zong frowned slightly. The difficulty of the first floor was too high.
Of course, this did not apply to him. Whether it was sixteen or thirty-two early Four-Star Martial Realm, it did not make much of a difference to Chen Zong. However, it was different for most of the warriors.
Chen Zong still did not draw his sword. He used his sword finger to perform a sword art. It was simple but sharp and mysterious.
The thirty-two figures turned into sixty-four.
Kill! Kill!
Kill! The sixty-four figures were all killed by Chen Zong. The first floor returned to its peaceful state immediately.
Chen Zong looked at the waterspout in the corner of the wall. The waterspout was supposed to last for two hours, but only a small part of it had dripped. Not even fifteen minutes had passed.
"You have successfully passed the tower. Do you want to enter the next floor?"
A cold and stiff voice sounded.
After passing the tower, the warriors had a choice. They could either leave, enter the next floor, or enter the next floor when the time was up.
"Enter the next floor." Chen Zong replied. Although the difficulty of the first floor was not low, it was nothing for Chen Zong. It would not be a challenge for him. Of course, it was better to enter the next floor as soon as possible.
After the voice sounded, a beam of light shone from the ceiling onto Chen Zong. Chen Zong felt an irresistible force that seemed to soar into the sky. Everything around him became distorted.
There was no difference between the first floor and the second floor. No, there was a difference. It was time. The time limit of the second floor was four hours.
Outside, when Chen Zong stepped from the first floor to the second floor, the corresponding wall flashed and he jumped from the first floor to the second floor.
"So fast."
"Who is that?"
"Chen Zong, the Sword of the Unhindered."
"It's him."
They were all surprised.
Chen Zong was the fastest to pass the first floor and enter the second floor in the second batch.
"As expected of Brother Chen." Qing Chen smiled. He was also one of the challengers. However, he was not on the Minor Heaven Ascension List, so he was still waiting.
As for Mo Sen, he had defeated someone on the Minor Heaven Ascension List and was now in the Heaven Ascension Tower.
The second floor was the same as the first floor. The first to appear was an opponent with a mid-stage four-star battle strength. He held a long sword in his hand. The sword trembled slightly like a snake coming out of its hole. However, it carried a roaring sound as it slashed towards Chen Zong like a tearing storm.
Chen Zong was slightly startled. He staggered and quickly dodged.
With such battle strength, Chen Zong could naturally kill him with a finger. However, the sword technique that the opponent used was something he had never seen before. Moreover, it was quite exquisite. Chen Zong wanted to see more of it.
After Chen Zong dodged the first sword, the black figure immediately slashed out a second sword. The wind roared, thunder roared, wind and thunder surged, and a terrifying sword Qi wreaked havoc in all directions.
Then, there was the third sword. It was as if thousands of thunderbolts were destroying the earth. It struck down from the sky.
Then, the fourth sword became the move of the first sword and was repeatedly used.
After a few times, Chen Zong basically understood the mystery of this sword technique. He slashed with his sword finger and directly used the first sword. It was like a snake coming out of its hole. However, it carried a roaring sound as it broke through the air and attacked the black figure.
The same sword technique in the hands of different people would often be different.
