The black shadow stood in front of Chen Zong with a sword in his hand. His footsteps were small and hurried, and he approached Chen Zong like a flash of lightning. His body swayed with his footsteps, and countless afterimages appeared around him. It was as if countless people were charging at him with swords at the same time. His aura was so sharp and cold that it chilled people to the bone, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
The sword light was restrained, and it became limitless as the figure swayed. It was impossible to tell where the sword would come from. It was so mysterious.
At first glance, Chen Zong could tell that this sword technique was very exquisite, far better than the one he had learned before.
The technique was drawn but not released, but its aura was extremely sharp. As it approached, it kept increasing until it was close to Zong Zong, and it exploded with all its power. It was extremely terrifying.
When the black shadow was three meters away from Chen Zong, countless figures and countless sword shadows gathered in an instant. It was as if the power of countless swords was integrated into this sword at the same time. It was like a falling meteorite, and the terrifying aura made Chen Zong's expression change slightly.
A mere peak five-star combat strength was naturally no threat to Chen Zong, but the power of this sword was really amazing.
Moreover, this was only the first opponent. According to the rules of the Sky-reaching Tower, after the first opponent was defeated, there would be two, four, eight, until 64 opponents.
Thinking that he would face so many powerful opponents in the future, Chen Zong was excited but also had a tingling feeling on his scalp.
He attacked with his sword, and it directly collided with the opponent's strongest sword that was charging at him with all its strength. It was like a collision of meteorites, and an amazing power burst out. Terrifying airwaves spread in all directions, as if they were going to break the sky.
The black shadow's forward momentum was stopped. Then, from the black sword, it began to crack inch by inch and disappeared in front of Chen Zong's eyes. As for Chen Zong, he did not move at all.
In the next moment, two black shadows condensed, one on the left and the other on the right. Their figures swayed, leaving countless residual shadows. Their long swords also swayed, leaving countless sword shadows. Their astonishing Qi locked onto Chen Zong, bringing a terrible pressure, as if two huge meteorites were rotating and condensing in the sky, exuding a pressure as heavy as a mountain.
Chen Zong was still standing where he was, allowing the terrifying aura to lock onto him. He did not move an inch. When the two figures were within three meters of each other, all of his power erupted in an instant and poured into the long sword. He charged towards Chen Zong with an indomitable will. It was incomparably tragic.
Chen Zong struck out with both of his swords and collided with the two swords. The overbearing and sharp sword energy surged like a volcanic eruption.
Just like before, the two figures began to disintegrate from the long sword and disappeared into the air. Then, there were four figures.
They attacked in the same way, causing Chen Zong to face four terrifying attacks at the same time. He had no choice but to slash out four times to defeat them. Then, there were eight figures.
These eight black shadows did not attack at the same time. Instead, they were the first to arrive. Before Chen Zong could defeat them, the second one arrived, followed by the third one.
Chen Zong was enduring the attacks of eight peak five-star combatants continuously. If it were another peak five-star combatant, he would have been blasted into pieces. However, Chen Zong still did not move an inch. Even his sword-wielding arms did not move an inch.
The impact of each attack was very terrifying. There would be a small part of it remaining. The continuous attacks would stack up and wreak havoc in the body.
If there was time, it could be expelled. However, if there were still external attacks, there was no way to expel it. Instead, the external attacks would intensify.
Sixteen terrifying opponents attacked continuously, causing Chen Zong's hands to tremble.
"Indomitable will …"
However, Chen Zong did not seem to notice it. He was immersed in the mystery of the black shadows' swordsmanship.
Under the continuous attacks, Chen Zong had a better grasp of the mystery of that sword. That sword was about gathering all the strength in one's body and increasing it as much as possible. Then, it would be condensed and unleashed in an instant.
It was the most powerful attack!
"The Sword Codex of the Unhindered Sword, which runs through the heaven and earth, sweeps in all directions, and is invincible. It must be powerful enough …"
A strong feeling was about to burst out.
Thirty-two peak five-star combatants exerted all their strength to launch the most powerful attack. They rushed toward Chen Zong with the determination to die together with him.
Chen Zong's feet gradually stepped on the ground. He resisted the attacks of these black shadows and continued to comprehend.
When he defeated sixteen people, his arms trembled slightly.
The seventeenth person's arms trembled more obviously.
The eighteenth person's trembling became more obvious.
When the twenty-fourth person arrived, Chen Zong could not help but lean back.
When it came to the twenty-eighth person, Chen Zong could not help but take a step back.
Chen Zong was forced to take three steps back when the last person arrived. Every step he took seemed to shatter the ground beneath his feet.
However, the floor of the Heaven Ascension List was extremely hard. Even the attack of a Transcendent Realm master could not damage it. It was even more impossible for Chen Zong to destroy it. The force of the rebound made Chen Zong's feet ache. It was enough to show how powerful the trampling force was.
However, in the end, he managed to hold on. However, sixty-four figures appeared. There was no room for retreat. They attacked Chen Zong again, one after another.
Continuously resisting the previous strong enemies, Chen Zong not only sharpened his Sword Qi, but also consumed a lot of his strength. However, Chen Zong still had no intention of dodging. He was still resisting the attacks of his opponents.
The cross-shaped sword light broke through the air and collided head-on with the opponent. A strong feeling was about to burst out.
Fight, fight, fight!
Slash, slash, slash!
Traces of peerless sharpness gradually condensed on the two swords.
The thirtieth strong enemy rushed forward. Under the combination of the terrible power and the residual power from before, Chen Zong was forced to take three steps back. However, just as he steadied himself, the thirty-first strong enemy also arrived.
Chen Zong did not retreat. However, he had to retreat because the impact was too strong.
For a moment, the Great True Qi in Chen Zong's body surged endlessly. His Pure Yang Blood Qi was agitated. The combined sword force of the two was like a surging tide.
Although his strength was constantly being consumed and there was not much left, the remaining strength was constantly condensing and accumulating. It was like a torrent that was about to burst a dam.
The fifty-sixth strong enemy, Chen Zong, was forced to take ten steps back. The two swords in his hands almost flew out. His Blood Qi reversed and he almost vomited. His five viscera and six bowels felt like they were burning. He was injured.
However, Chen Zong did not care at all. His eyes were full of fighting spirit, with an earth-shattering light. There was a trace of arrogance, unparalleled in the world.
"Heaven and Earth … Vertical and Horizontal …"
When the four words were spoken, their auras shook the heavens. The two swords emitted an incomparably resplendent light, bringing with them the last of Chen Zong's strength as they slashed out. The cross-shaped sword light illuminated the world, as if it was going to split the heavens and earth into four. It brought with it an extreme power that could destroy everything.
Words could not describe the tyrannical power of this attack.
Wherever it passed, the fifty-seventh strong enemy was completely defeated before he could use his sword technique.
It was irresistible!
The fifty-eighth!
The fifty-ninth!
The sixtieth!
The sixty-first!
The sixty-second!
The sixty-third!
When the cross-shaped sword light dissipated, there was still one last strong enemy to be killed. However, Chen Zong had exhausted all his strength. Not only did he use the Great True Force, but he also used up all his physical strength. He was still standing only because of his amazing willpower.
Chen Zong couldn't even move his fingers, yet he still managed to squeeze out a smile. After which, the black figure in front of him slashed out with his sword. A terrifying strike directly slammed into Chen Zong's body. In that instant, Chen Zong could clearly feel his body shattering inch by inch. Under the ravaging power of the attack, he was reduced to dust.
The moment Chen Zong turned into powder, a ray of light appeared out of thin air and disappeared with Chen Zong.
His consciousness sank into complete darkness. When Chen Zong felt something, he found that countless eyes were on him with horror, as if they were going to pierce through him.
"It's him."
"Impossible."
"How can it be him?"
Although after some analysis, the tenth level of the Heaven Ascension Pagoda was not that insurmountable, and that someone could still reach it, no one expected it to be Chen Zong.
In the battle with Xiahou Zhen on the Life and Death Arena, everyone could tell that Chen Zong had used a secret technique and used all his strength to kill Xiahou Zhen. As for Xiahou Zhen reaching the eighth level, it was estimated that Chen Zong had a chance of reaching the ninth level.
However, the tenth level was just too difficult. No one believed that he could reach it.
"How is this possible!?" Xiahou Ba muttered under his breath as he clenched his fists. An intense sense of danger filled his eyes with murderous intent. It was as if lightning was flashing in his eyes.
Reaching the tenth level meant that Chen Zong's combat strength was extremely terrifying. His talent was also astonishing. He might not be Xiahou Ba's match now, but once he broke through to the pseudo Transcendent realm, he might have the strength to match Xiahou Ba. When that happened, it would be even more difficult to kill him.
However, Ghost Sword Xin Wuxing smiled faintly. Even though it was a normal smile, it was enough to send chills down one's spine. His eyes turned even deeper.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on his sword. It would be more interesting to kill such a genius.
Xuan Ziye, who had failed the tower challenge, had an ugly expression. As for the Yin Yang Profound Sword couple, they were shocked but also happy.
"Young friend, congratulations on breaking the record." Yang Profound Sword said with a smile.
"I was lucky." Chen Zong also said with a smile.
At that moment, Mo Sen came out after failing the ninth level.
Immediately following that, a wall on the tenth level lit up.
"Another person has reached the tenth level."
"Who is it? Two people have broken the century-old record. "
Everyone exclaimed. Chen Zong was also rather surprised because he had reached the tenth level after clearing the ninth level. He knew very well how difficult it was.
To be able to reach the tenth level, one had to be extremely powerful.
Unknowingly, a word appeared in Chen Zong's mind. It was a name. As for whether it was true or not, he could not be sure. He would only know when the person left the Heaven Ascension Pagoda.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the tenth level.
Time passed. About four hours later, the wall of the tenth level flickered, and a figure was squeezed out of it.
"Who is he?"
"I don't know him."
"It really is him." Chen Zong secretly smiled.
A young man in a green robe with a flame-like pattern on his forehead was Qing Chen.
