Accumulation was indispensable to a warrior's cultivation.
Only with enough accumulation and precipitation could one transform.
Chen Zong was determined to practice the sword, so his accumulation was mainly based on the sword.
Maybe some sword techniques were different for him, but they could help him understand the sword. The more, the better.
The unknown sword technique that Chen Zong learned from the black shadow should be of the highest quality of the Heaven Level based on his experience and insight. It was very mysterious and had the mystery of wind and thunder in it. It was indeed extraordinary.
Two black shadows appeared, wielding black longswords. They displayed their swordsmanship and attacked Chen Zong. Like two spiritual snakes coming out of their caves, they roared with Gang Qi. Their momentum was extraordinary.
Chen Zong's expression remained unchanged, and his finger pierced forward like a sword in a carefree manner. It was like a spirit snake leaving its hole, nimble, light, and extraordinarily swift, yet it also emitted a shocking thunderous roar.
It was easy for Chen Zong to get rid of these two people with his strength, but he didn't do that. Instead, he used them to practice his sword.
Chen Zong kept performing the first sword of the unknown sword technique. He practiced it again and again, and his mastery of it became more and more profound.
He stabbed out with his finger again. It was as if there was a snake slithering in the air. Its flexible body quickly rushed out of the hole. Its body was not big, but it was like a flood dragon coming out of the abyss. It carried a shocking momentum and roared out like thunder.
The appearance of a phenomenon in a single sword strike was obviously a sign that one had cultivated the sword technique to an extremely profound level. It represented that Chen Zong had already grasped the essence and profundities of this sword strike and had fused it with his own understanding, causing it to be more suitable for him to execute.
Wherever the sword passed, the swordsmanship of the two men was directly destroyed. Then, even their bodies were destroyed.
Two turned into four, and after they were defeated, they turned into eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and finally sixty-four.
The pressure brought by 64 mid-stage four-star warriors was not small at all, but Chen Zong still defeated them all. During this process, Chen Zong also completely mastered the unknown sword technique.
However, Chen Zong became the last person in the second batch to step into the third level because he practiced that sword technique.
"What happened?"
"Probably because it's my first time challenging the Heaven Ascension Tower."
"In the end, it's still about strength."
At this moment, the highest level of the tower was the fifth level, and the lowest level was the first level.
The opponents on the third floor were even stronger. They were at the later stage of the four-star level, and their weapon was a long spear.
The spear was like a dragon, and when it was blasted out, it was like a flood dragon emerging from the sea.
When the 64 of them attacked together with their spears, the momentum was extremely shocking. It was as if 64 dragons were roaring and attacking at the same time, shocking the world with their movements.
Facing such an attack, Chen Zong was indeed shocked. He could also feel the shocking pressure. If it was an ordinary five-star warrior at the beginning stage, it would probably be difficult to deal with it.
Chen Zong pointed his sword forward, and there seemed to be lightning blooming at the tip of his finger. It was as if thunder broke through the sky, and as if it was a thunderbolt, it caused the void to shake, and it majestically shattered all the attacks.
The opponents on the fourth floor were at the peak of the four-star level.
The opponents on the fifth floor were at the peak of the four-star level.
The opponents on the sixth floor were at the beginning stage of the five-star level.
Time flew by, and batches of people entered the Heaven Ascension Tower. At the same time, there were also people who failed and were sent out.
When Chen Zong stepped into the sixth floor, Xin Wuxing, who had challenged the highest level of the tower, had already reached the eighth floor.
The higher the level of the Heaven Ascension Tower, the more difficult it would be because the opponent's strength would become stronger.
The first opponent on the sixth floor was quickly defeated by Chen Zong. Then, there were two opponents, four opponents, eight opponents, 16 opponents, 32 opponents, 64 opponents.
When Chen Zong faced 64 opponents, he pulled out the Heaven Sun Sword and the Earth Yin Sword, and performed the prototype of the Zongheng Sword Codex's unique skill.
Fight, fight, fight!
The saber radiance was like a blazing sun, and it slashed down from the sky. It was as if 64 blazing suns were emitting a terrifying heat that seemed to burn the entire void into ashes.
Chen Zong's expression was cold. His two swords slashed out countless cross-shaped sword radiances, shattering the blazing saber radiances and shattering the figures.
However, Chen Zong was unable to step into the seventh floor at the moment, because there were exactly 11 people on the seventh floor, and he had to wait.
The higher the floor, the longer the time limit. For example, the second floor's time limit was four hours, and the third floor's time limit was six hours, and so on.
While waiting, Chen Zong continued studying the sword codex's unique skill, slowly perfecting it.
Soon, two hours were up. Those who had failed to clear the seventh floor were sent out of the Heaven Ascension Tower. Chen Zong's figure also appeared on the seventh floor at the same time.
The opponents on the seventh floor were even stronger, with mid-stage Five-star combat strength.
One or two of them were not difficult for Chen Zong, but when there were 32 of them, their combined strength put a certain amount of pressure on Chen Zong.
The pressure brought by the 64 opponents was even greater.
To Chen Zong, having sufficient pressure was a good thing.
"Chen Zong should have reached the seventh floor, right?"
"It's not bad for him to reach the seventh floor on his first attempt at the Heaven Ascension Tower."
"Xiahou Zhen reached the eighth floor last year. Chen Zong is stronger than Xiahou Zhen, so reaching the seventh floor isn't a big deal."
There was plenty of time for two hours to clear the first floor, but as the floors went up, the opponents became stronger. The two hours gradually became tight.
Slashing out with his two swords and vanquishing a figure, Chen Zong had to face the attacks of the other figures.
It was as though everything was under his control. He shifted his feet and twisted his body, shuttling through the flowers like a butterfly. He was light and elegant as he dodged one attack after another. His two swords tore through the air like lightning, unhindered and domineering.
One opponent after another was vanquished. Finally, all the opponents were vanquished by Chen Zong's two swords.
The next floor was the eighth floor, but there were still people challenging the eighth floor. Chen Zong could only wait.
"I wonder which floor my young friend can reach?" Yang Xuanjian said with a smile.
"The ninth floor shouldn't be a problem." Yin Xuanjian said with a smile.
The two of them had seen the battle between Chen Zong and Xiahou Zhen. They knew that Chen Zong's combat strength was very strong. Later, they conversed with him and knew that Chen Zong had a unique understanding of the Dao of the Sword. With such a combination, it was certain that he could reach the ninth floor.
To date, the ninth floor was the record for the highest tower challenge in the past hundred years.
Chen Zong was completely immersed in his meditations. And in the corner of the wall, water constantly dripped down, indicating the passage of time.
Chen Zong, who was immersed in his meditations, did not notice the last drop of water dripping down. Immediately, an irresistible force enveloped Chen Zong. Chen Zong disappeared from the seventh floor and appeared on the eighth floor.
In the beginning, people outside could more or less tell what floor someone had reached. But as more and more people challenged the tower, and people were sent out after failing, it was difficult to judge from the light on the Sky Ascension Pagoda's walls.
"Someone has reached the ninth floor."
"Who is it?"
"It should be Phantom Sword Xin Wuxing. Among the people challenging the tower, he is the strongest."
This view was agreed upon by most people, but there were a number of people who disagreed. They believed that it was someone else.
The opponent on the eighth floor had a late-stage five-star combat strength and was easily killed by Chen Zong. However, when the number of opponents increased to thirty-two, Chen Zong felt the pressure increase significantly.
Thirty-two late-stage five-star warriors working together was enough to defeat an ordinary peak five-star warrior. Only a powerful peak five-star warrior or a six-star warrior with combat strength that exceeded five-stars could defeat them.
When the number of late-stage five-star warriors reached sixty-four and they worked together in an orderly manner, the terrifying strength was enough to kill any peak five-star warrior. Back then, Xiahou Zhen had been defeated by this.
Chen Zong was not Xiahou Zhen. He was much stronger than Xiahou Zhen, especially when his physical strength and Unhindered True Force had fused to seventy percent. In terms of strength, it was equivalent to fourteen percent of his previous strength. This had already exceeded the limits of five-stars and had truly stepped into the early stages of six-stars.
If he were to fight Xiahou Zhen again, Chen Zong would not need to use the Wrath of Wind and Lightning.
Fight! Fight!
Fight! Chen Zong also used all his strength. His two swords were sometimes as violent as a tidal wave, sometimes as domineering as a dragon, sometimes as continuous as water, and sometimes as fast as the wind …
Each strike was unstoppable. The sixty-four Sword Dao sword flashes bloomed like the tail of a dragon sparrow. With Chen Zong at the center, it was as if radiance radiated in all directions.
Under the sixty-four sword flashes, the sixty-four figures paused. Following that, they dissipated like smoke blown by a strong wind.
Looking at the water hourglass, only two hours had passed. There were fourteen hours left. However, there were only two people on the ninth floor. Chen Zong could easily enter directly, but he was in no hurry. Instead, he stayed on the eighth floor to meditate. He had gained something from the previous battle.
Soon, fourteen hours passed. Chen Zong was also meditating when he was sent to the ninth floor by the Sky Ascension Pagoda's powers.
The further one went in the Sky Ascension Pagoda, the more difficult it became. Hence, before Chen Zong entered the ninth floor, only two people had stepped into the ninth floor.
"Another person has entered the ninth floor."
"Who could it be?"
"It's hard to guess. There are many possibilities."
Among the people who challenged the Sky Ascension Pagoda this time, there was no lack of top-notch geniuses. However, those who could make it to the sixth floor were already very good. Those who could make it to the seventh floor were considered quite powerful. Those who could make it to the eighth floor were the cream of the crop.
The combat power of the opponents on the ninth floor increased again. They were at the peak of the five-star level.
However, one or two five-star peak opponents were still nothing to Chen Zong. He could kill them easily. They did not have the slightest effect on him.
Four!
Eight!
When the number of five-star peak opponents reached sixteen, Chen Zong began to feel the pressure.
When the number of five-star peak opponents reached thirty-two, the pressure became more obvious. It was already stronger than the previous sixty-four five-star peak opponents.
Sixty-four five-star peak opponents appeared and surrounded Chen Zong directly. When they attacked, every attack was shockingly powerful.
The stronger the pressure brought by the opponents, the happier Chen Zong was. Because the stronger the pressure, the more effective it was for him to train.
Every time he passed a floor, his strength would be restored to its peak by the Sky Ascension Pagoda. Otherwise, Chen Zong would not have been able to make it here.
