The seventh day.
Inside the cultivation room, Chen Zong was absorbing a trace of World Energy into his body, refining and absorbing it when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
* Peng peng peng *, as if the door was about to be smashed open, the noise was like rolling thunder, disturbing Chen Zong who was cultivating.
Then, the door was smashed open, the broken heavy door whistling through the air towards Chen Zong who was sitting inside the cultivation room.
Although Chen Zong was cultivating, he still maintained a trace of subconscious vigilance, so when the door was smashed open, he became even more vigilant. When the broken door smashed towards him, Chen Zong immediately interrupted his cultivation and shifted his steps to avoid the bombardment of the door, but he felt a sharp pain in his body, as if he was being cut by a knife.
This was the injury caused by the unrefined World Energy that had lost its guidance and was rampaging through his body. Chen Zong made a prompt decision and expelled the remaining trace of World Energy.
The majestic vitality of the Thousand Year Tree Heart and his own extraordinary self-healing ability took effect, quickly healing his injuries, but Chen Zong's heart was filled with anger and murderous intent.
The reason why he chose to rent the cultivation room was so that he could cultivate in peace, but now, he was disturbed, and not just by ordinary disturbances, but by directly breaking the door. If his body and mental strength were not strong enough, the injuries he suffered would have been even more serious.
"Get out of here." An even more rude and malicious voice sounded outside the broken door.
Chen Zong looked over and saw several people standing outside the broken door. One of them was the owner of the cultivation room, standing respectfully to the side. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing iron armour, exuding a tyrannical pseudo Transcendent Realm aura. His eyes were as fierce as a beast's as they fell on Chen Zong's face.
"I paid you to rent the cultivation room, and you also promised that you wouldn't be disturbed. What's going on now?" Chen Zong's gaze landed on the owner of the cultivation room. He asked unhurriedly, his voice powerful and low.
"Humph, the Yang family doesn't need to explain anything to you. Now, get out of the cultivation room. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Faced with Chen Zong's interrogation, this person not only didn't explain anything, but instead threatened him with a malicious expression.
"Skylight City does not welcome you. Please leave immediately." The middle-aged man in armor spoke. His voice was low and deep, and it carried the sound of metal. However, he didn't sound aggressive when he spoke.
"Give me back the ten substandard spiritsources." Chen Zong's gaze swept past the two of them and landed on the face of the manager of the cultivation room. He said word by word.
Renting this cultivation room was not cheap at all. It cost one substandard spiritual source every three days. Chen Zong paid ten substandard spiritual sources and planned to cultivate for a month.
"You've been in my training room for a few days, and now the door is broken, and you still want to take the Spirit Essence from me? I'm already being very kind by not asking you to pay for it. Why aren't you scramming?" The Yang Family member's eyes were cold, and his face was filled with malevolence.
"I'll look for you again. When the time comes, I'll pay you back a hundredfold." Chen Zong said and strode out of the city.
There was no such thing as love or hate for no reason. These two people had forcefully broken down the door of the cultivation room and even chased him out. Someone must have ordered them to do so.
Who ordered them to do so?
Perhaps the answer was outside the city.
Chen Zong was fearless. His abilities had improved tremendously, and he had the ability to protect himself.
When he stepped out of the city, cold gazes pierced through the sky and landed directly on him, as if they wanted to tear Chen Zong apart.
When Chen Zong saw the first gaze, his whole body trembled involuntarily. His spiritual world felt as if thousands of lightning bolts were striking down. Each bolt of lightning was as red as blood, exuding a wave that could destroy everything. It was as if they wanted to destroy his spiritual sea.
He felt as if he was in a lightning prison and was about to be turned into dust.
The mysterious sword tip trembled, and a silver divine light spread out. The thousands of red lightning bolts instantly dissipated. Chen Zong was also dazed, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He stared at the old man with some fear, but with the protection of the mysterious sword tip, he was no longer affected by the old man.
The old man was dressed in a purple robe that was covered with red lightning runes. Each lightning rune seemed to carry astonishing power. As the robe fluttered in the wind, the lightning runes seemed to come alive, turning into red lightning bolts that wandered around.
Chen Zong didn't know who this person was, but his intuition told him that this was a master, a very terrifying master.
This person was Xiahou Yuan of the Sacred Martial Palace.
Behind him were more than twenty pseudo-Transcendents belonging to Xiahou's lineage. Each of them stared coldly at Chen Zong, causing the surrounding air to freeze.
In Skylight City, the two people who had chased Chen Zong away were standing on the city wall, watching from afar.
"A mere junior dares to go against the Sacred Martial Palace. He's simply courting death." The owner of the cultivation room sneered.
In contrast, the armored middle-aged man from the City Lord's Mansion looked a little more dignified. He was thinking more.
The fact that a mere junior was being chased by someone from the Sacred Martial Palace spoke volumes. Moreover, he was more well-informed. This person seemed to be Chen Zong, a peerless genius who was currently in the limelight.
Under normal circumstances, the City Lord's Mansion would choose to befriend such a peerless genius. Even if they didn't, they wouldn't make an enemy out of him.
Unfortunately, the City Lord's Mansion in Skylight City wasn't as strong as the Sacred Martial Palace. The City Lord was only at the Extreme Human Realm, so he didn't dare to disobey.
Between a peerless genius with great potential and an undefeatable force, the City Lord would naturally choose the latter. This was because when one's potential hadn't been fully transformed into strength, no matter how amazing a genius was, he wouldn't be much of a threat.
After all, it didn't matter if one didn't enter the Transcendent realm.
Without saying a word, Xiahou Yuan directly attacked. He didn't even move, but the lightning runes on his robe seemed to light up, turning into a scarlet lightning bolt that pierced through the air and shot towards Chen Zong.
It was so fast that Chen Zong didn't have time to react at all. Only a trace of scarlet remained in his eyes before the lightning bolt struck his body.
This kind of terrifying lightning could easily kill any other Extreme Human Realm First or Second Layer cultivator, but if it really hit Chen Zong, he would instantly turn into dust and disappear from the world.
Chen Zong wasn't afraid and believed the words of Li Tian Di's incarnation.
The moment the scarlet lightning runes hit Chen Zong, the phantom of the Sky Ascension Tower appeared and the lightning runes disappeared, causing no harm to Chen Zong.
Xiahou Yuan's eyes narrowed as he stared at the phantom of the Sky Ascension Tower. No one knew what he was thinking. Immediately, he raised his left hand and stretched out a finger. His movement seemed slow, but it was clearly visible, yet extremely fast. With a slight tremble of his fingertip, a scarlet lightning bolt shot out.
It was even faster, but Chen Zong still couldn't dodge it, nor did he need to.
The phantom of the Sky Ascension Tower appeared, and the terrifying lightning bolt that could pierce through the world disappeared.
This scene caused the twenty or so pseudo-Transcendents to widen their eyes in confusion. It also caused the people watching from the city walls to be extremely surprised.
Was that Transcendent Realm master toying with him?
That shouldn't be the case. Transcendents had their own pride and dignity. They definitely wouldn't use such means to tease a junior. The Skylight City Lord, who didn't show up but could see everything, was even more shocked.
He recognized the old man's identity, Xiahou Yuan.
He was a terrifying master ranked on the Great Heaven Ascension List, a super powerful existence that could kill him with a single finger.
Such a master couldn't even deal with a junior. What was with the phantom of the Sky Ascension Tower?
Could it be some kind of artifact?
"Capture him alive." Xiahou Yuan finally confirmed one thing, that was, Chen Zong's protective artifact was even more amazing than he had imagined. His heart was burning with eagerness to obtain that artifact.
With his cultivation and strength, if he could obtain such a protective artifact, no one below the Earth Spirit Realm would be his enemy. When that time came, it would be much easier for him to seize the position of Palace Master of Sacred Palace.
And if that protective artifact was not only effective against Extreme Mortal Realm masters, but also Earth Spirit Realm masters, then …
Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to continue thinking about it. It was too shocking and unbearable.
But if he knew that the phantom of the Sky Ascension Tower was not only effective against Extreme Mortal Realm masters, but also Earth Spirit Realm masters, and even Profound Heaven Realm masters, how would he react?
As soon as his voice fell, four pseudo-Transcendents immediately moved and flew towards Chen Zong.
Among these pseudo-Transcendents, even the weakest one had reached the early Eight Star Realm.
According to the information Xiahou Yuan gathered, Chen Zong was able to kill Seven Star Realm masters, including Xiahou Ba and the others. This proved that his combat strength was very strong, at least not lower than Xiahou Ba's. Since that was the case, sending Seven Star Realm masters was meaningless.
Four early Eight Star Realm pseudo-Transcendents teaming up was just a test.
In an instant, the four figures arrived and grabbed Chen Zong, following Xiahou Yuan's order to capture Chen Zong alive.
A huge pressure swept over as the four of them carried traces of lightning in their hands.
Chen Zong didn't dodge, allowing the four pseudo-Transcendents to approach.
These pseudo-Transcendents were all cultivated by Xiahou's bloodline. They weren't young, ranging from sixty to seventy to over a hundred years old. They were all talented but not outstanding. Being able to break through to the pseudo-Transcendent Realm was partly due to their own efforts, the cultivation of Xiahou's bloodline, and a bit of luck. They could be considered the majority of the pseudo-Transcendents in Xiahou's bloodline.
Just as the four hands were about to grab Chen Zong, an incomparably sharp sword light flashed through the air and circled around. Under the astonishing speed of the sword, the four early Eight Star pseudo-Transcendents couldn't react in time.
[Kill!]
The four early Eight Star pseudo-Transcendents froze, maintaining their posture of reaching out to grab Chen Zong, a trace of blood appearing on their necks.
[Fast, that sword speed is too fast!]
Xiahou Yuan frowned slightly. With his eyesight, he could naturally see Chen Zong's sword clearly. This kind of sword speed had reached the peak of Eight Star.
In fact, Chen Zong was only using his Pseudo Spirit Qi.
After a few days of cultivation, Chen Zong's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Relying on his Pseudo Spirit Qi alone, he now had the strength of a late Eight Star Realm master. In terms of sword speed, Chen Zong was already outstanding, and after comprehending the True Meaning of Sword Speed, even if he didn't use his Minor True Meaning, his sword speed had naturally increased.
Killing four with a single sword strike, the other pseudo-Transcendents were shocked.
"I'll do it." Among the twenty or so Pseudo Transcendents, the weakest was an early-stage Eight-Star while the strongest was a Grandmaster. There were two of them in total. The one who spoke was a short old man with messy hair that resembled an afro.
With a shake of his shoulder, the short old man transformed into a bolt of lightning and instantly appeared in front of Chen Zong, reaching out his hand.
A claw condensed from the power of thunder descended from the sky. The five fingers were like a prison, trying to imprison Chen Zong while emitting the aura of a Minor True Meaning.
This strike had the power of an early Nine Star Realm master.
