Outside Skylight City, tornadoes that were hundreds of meters tall continued to blast out. Wherever they passed, the ground would be torn open, leaving long gullies.
The whistling sound was endless, rumbling through the heavens and earth, as if the storm was about to destroy the world.
Each storm was composed of countless terrifying Sword Qi, capable of easily shredding a Pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivator to pieces, leaving not even their bones behind.
However, no matter how the storm of Sword Qi attacked, Chen Zong was surrounded by the shadow of the Sky Tower, negating all the terrifying attacks, leaving him unscathed.
This scene not only shocked the swordsman, but also horrified the spectators, especially Nan Mingde and the Yang Family Patriarch from the Ten Thousand Sky Sect.
Nan Mingde was Nan Mingshan's adoptive father and master. He came to seek revenge for Nan Mingshan, but no matter what he did, he couldn't do anything to Chen Zong. Before any of his attacks could hit Chen Zong, they were all negated by the shadow of the Sky Tower.
As for the Yang Family Elder, he knew that the Skylight City Lord would not joke about this, but after all, hearing was not as strong as seeing it with his own eyes.
He was horrified.
To be an enemy of such a person was simply …
The Yang Family Elder didn't know what to say, but he hated the person in charge of the Yang Family's cultivation room to death. Or rather, after he understood the cause of the matter, he executed that person.
It was understandable that Chen Zong was kicked out of the cultivation room because of the pressure from the Sacred Martial Palace, but to provoke and threaten Chen Zong with all kinds of arrogance was too reckless. Otherwise, the Yang Family wouldn't have suffered such a loss.
Four thousand substandard Spirit Sources!
With the Yang Family's financial resources, they could certainly afford it, but they would need time to gather all of it. After that, the Yang Family's financial resources would be severely damaged, and they didn't know how long it would take for them to recover.
He originally hoped that the Ten Thousand Heaven Sect and the Xin Family could get rid of Chen Zong, so the Yang Family wouldn't have to suffer such a heavy loss, but now it seemed that it was just wishful thinking.
Xin Minghao kept striking with his sword, one strike after another. After dozens of strikes, the ground in front of him was destroyed beyond recognition, but Chen Zong was safe and sound. Even the ground under his feet was intact.
Sheathing his sword, Xin Minghao's eyes flashed a fierce light, but his expression was gloomy. Using a series of killer moves had consumed most of his strength, yet he was still unable to defeat a mere Pseudo Transcendent. While Xin Minghao was angry, he was also very curious about the phantom image of the Heaven Ascension Tower that had appeared around Chen Zong's body.
If he could take it for himself.
Almost all of the Transcendents who had failed to take action against Chen Zong would pay attention to the phantom image of the Heaven Ascension Tower on Chen Zong's body. There was no doubt that it was an artifact.
Unfortunately, they did not know how to obtain the secret treasure.
"I'll remember everything you've done today, and I'll pay you back soon," Chen Zong said word by word.
Nan Mingde and Xin Minghao almost vomited blood. Since when could a mere junior threaten them so confidently?
However, they could not do anything to him.
What could be more unbearable than this feeling?
If they continued to stay, it would only add to their shame. The two of them made a prompt decision to leave, but they did not leave because they had given up, but because they wanted to better deal with Chen Zong.
Outside Skylight City, peace was restored, leaving only a huge ravine that had been created by the Sword Qi storm. It was a ghastly sight.
Step by step, Chen Zong walked towards Skylight City, towards the Yang Family Elder. The Yang Family Elder stood rooted to the ground, unable to move. He felt that he was not facing a Pseudo Transcendent, but a master who was many times stronger than himself. Every step the other party took was like stepping on his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
When Chen Zong walked past him, the Yang Family Elder felt his heart beating at an extreme speed, as if it was about to explode.
"You still have two days," Chen Zong's voice floated into the Yang Family Elder's ears, and his figure stepped into Skylight City.
In these three days, Chen Zong decided to stay in Skylight City, opposite the Yang Family Mansion, and wait for the four thousand substandard spirit sources.
During this time, Chen Zong did not absorb the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, nor did he absorb the pure Spirit Qi from the substandard spirit sources to cultivate, for fear of being disturbed and injuring himself.
However, it was not a problem for him to comprehend sword techniques.
After further improving his secret sword, Chen Zong felt that there was a lot of potential in this sword technique that could be unearthed.
… …
Sacred Martial Palace, at the peak of Sacred Martial Mountain, there was a palace that seemed to stand alone from the rest of the world.
Xiahou Yuan stood outside the palace with a respectful expression, as if he was waiting for something.
After a long time, a voice sounded.
"Elder Xiahou Yuan, what business do you have with me?" The voice sounded a little old, but had a lingering charm.
"Senior Elder Hong Wu, I have an extremely important matter to report." Xiahou Yuan's attitude was very humble. Even if he was a powerhouse on the Great Heavenly Ascension Ranking, the leader of one of the three major factions of the Sacred Martial Palace, and a ninth level mortal realm powerhouse, it didn't change the fact that he was nothing in front of an earth spirit realm powerhouse.
And Senior Elder Hong Wu was one of the three earth spirit realm powerhouses of the Sacred Martial Palace.
The three earth spirit realm powerhouses took turns guarding the Sacred Martial Palace. They would not normally appear, nor would they care about the Sacred Martial Palace's affairs. No matter how much internal competition there was, as long as it did not affect the foundation of the Sacred Martial Palace, they would not care.
Under normal circumstances, the three major factions would not disturb Senior Elder Hong Wu, because that would mean that they were incompetent.
But this time, Xiahou Yuan had come looking for him with an important matter, so Senior Elder Hong Wu was naturally curious.
The palace door opened automatically, allowing Xiahou Yuan to step in.
A moment later, Senior Elder Hong Wu's eyes shone with a frightening light. The aura around him seemed to be able to suppress the earth, but it also seemed to be able to topple it. Xiahou Yuan was unable to move, and he could clearly feel the terror of an earth spirit realm powerhouse.
"To think that there is such a secret treasure in this world that is worthy of me coming out personally." Senior Elder Hong Wu had just finished speaking when he disappeared from Xiahou Yuan's sight.
This was the power of an earth spirit realm powerhouse. As long as they stepped on the ground, they could shrink the ground into an inch, and appear dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of miles away with a single thought.
Xiahou Yuan also walked out of the palace and looked into the distance. He knew that Senior Elder Hong Wu would soon arrive at Skylight City and find Chen Zong.
He only felt that it was a pity that he would not be able to obtain the secret treasure. However, if Senior Elder Hong Wu could obtain it, he would definitely want a share of it. When that time came, it would probably be easier for him to compete for the Palace Lord's position.
Between gain and loss, it all depended on how the person involved saw it.
Xiahou Yuan's visit to Senior Elder Hong Wu could not be hidden from the other two major factions, nor did he try to hide it. However, they could not find out what was going on.
…
When an earth spirit realm cultivator deployed the Earth Spirit Realm technique, their speed was frighteningly fast. Elder Hongwu was at the second level of the earth spirit realm, so every step he took covered twenty miles. He could cover at least one step in the blink of an eye, and at most two or three steps.
There was quite a distance between Skylight City and Saint Martial Mountain, but it could not stop Senior Elder Hong Wu's astonishing speed.
Not long after, Skylight City was right in front of him.
His tyrannical spiritual sense spread through his feet and covered the entire Skylight City in an instant.
An Extreme Mortal realm powerhouse's spiritual sense was released directly and spread through the air. However, an earth spirit realm powerhouse could use the earth as a medium to release their spiritual sense more fully and thoroughly.
In an instant, Senior Elder Hong Wu found Chen Zong.
Chen Zong, who was in the midst of enlightenment, also felt that he was being locked onto. It was a very subtle feeling, and before he could even think, a figure appeared in front of him. It was an old man in a dark red robe.
The old man's figure was a little blurry in Chen Zong's eyes. It was a distortion caused by a powerful force, and it was difficult to see clearly.
An extremely terrifying pressure fell on Chen Zong's body. It was as if the earth itself was pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe. It was as if his entire body was being suppressed and imprisoned, making it difficult for him to move.
This kind of power gave Chen Zong the feeling that it was beyond the Extreme Mortal realm.
This was a powerhouse who had surpassed the Extreme Mortal realm.
Although Blazing Heaven Emperor's incarnation had said that the Tower of Ascension could protect him in the Ascension Region, and that even a Profound Heavens realm powerhouse would not be able to hurt him, Chen Zong could not help but feel his scalp go numb when he faced a powerhouse who had surpassed the Extreme Mortal realm.
Without saying a word, a ray of light pierced through the air towards Chen Zong. Chen Zong did not even have time to react before he was hit. The Tower of Ascension flashed and the attack disappeared.
"It's true." Elder Hongwu was secretly surprised.
Although it was just a casual attack, the spiritual energy of the Earth Spirit Realm was fundamentally different from that of the Extreme Mortal Realm. Therefore, that attack could also be counted as an attack of the Earth Spirit Realm. However, it was blocked by the Tower of Ascension and did not hurt Chen Zong at all.
Elder Hongwu was instantly overjoyed.
This meant that this young man's secret treasure could not only defend against the attacks of the Extreme Mortal Realm, but could also defend against the attacks of the Earth Spirit Realm.
He attacked again. This time, the attack was even more powerful. It was thirty percent of his strength, but he controlled it so that it would not spread to the surroundings. It was even more terrifying.
Chen Zong was hit again. However, he was still not hurt at all. He did not even move his clothes. The Tower of Ascension flashed and blocked the attack again.
Elder Hongwu attacked for the third time with seventy percent of his strength.
However, the result did not change at all.
"Good, good, good." Elder Hongwu could not help but laugh. He did not attack for the fourth time because he was sure that even if he used all of his strength, he would not be able to hurt Chen Zong.
This kind of secret treasure was truly heaven-defying.
If he could obtain this kind of secret treasure, he would be able to become the strongest Earth Spirit Realm cultivator in the Sacred Martial Palace. At that time, he would be able to travel to more places and fight stronger opponents.
Thinking about it, Elder Hongwu could not help but feel excited.
However, Elder Hongwu started to think again. Since he could not do anything to Chen Zong and all of his attacks were blocked, he understood one thing after attacking three times in a row. That was, his Spirit Qi, True Intent, and other Transcendent Realm powers were all ineffective.
So, how could he take away this man's heaven-defying secret treasure?
