Back Mountain Pass, on the eighty-one steps, Yang Wu stared blankly at a grain of sand in his palm. He felt that this grain of sand wasn't sand, but a huge rock that weighed ten thousand jin. If it wasn't for his amazing arm strength, he wouldn't even be able to hold this grain of sand firmly.
Thousand Layered Sand!
This was a true saint material, and also the most valuable thing in the Thousand Layered Mountains. In the entire mineral vein, it was easy to dig out a million jin of Thousand Layered Stone, but it was difficult to dig out a hundred grains of Thousand Layered Sand.
The Thousand Layered Sand was the essence of the Thousand Layered Mountains. After adding the Thousand Layered Sand to any weapon, its quality would rapidly increase, and its attack power would be greatly increased.
Initially, Yang Wu only wanted the supreme grade Thousand Weighty Stone, which was a Minor Saint material. However, after passing the first stage, he obtained a saint material. He smiled and said to himself, "It seems like I can get additional rewards if I pass the stages quickly. I have to treat the second stage seriously." Yang Wu nodded.
If others knew that Yang Wu didn't use his full strength in the first level, how would they feel?
Yang Wu's Spotless Body had already reached the small success stage, and he was able to display extraordinary power. If he waited until the large success stage, his Spotless Body would become even more terrifying.
Yang Wu didn't pay attention to the people behind him and rushed towards the second stage.
In front of him, there was a piece of open land. There were eight ancient copper pillars in the middle of the open land. Ancient patterns appeared on the pillars, and they were distributed in every corner of the open land, forming a rough Eight Trigrams Diagram. In this diagram, there were eighteen copper men standing in different positions, holding identical copper swords. Each of them had a different expression, as if they were guarding an area.
The second level, fighting the copper men.
These eighteen copper men were arranged according to the Shaolin Temple's Eighteen Arhats. They were all puppets, and each of them had the strength of the Heaven Realm. When they worked together and cooperated with the formation, even a top Heavenly Fish Realm martial artist would fail here. This was because they still couldn't use Xuan Qi in battle, and they also had to withstand the strength of the first level, which greatly increased the difficulty of passing the level.
There were many disciples and deacons who had reached the Heavenly Fish Realm in the Heng Mountain Sect, but there weren't many who could pass the second level with their strength. Out of ten thousand people, only five hundred people could pass the second level, and these five hundred people were basically at the peak of the Heavenly Fish Realm. Only a few people like Shu Yujun and Xiao Chen could pass the second level without reaching the top Heavenly Fish Realm.
Yang Wu and Xiao Chen had a bet, and Yang Wu had no room to retreat. No matter how difficult this level was, he had to try, not only to win, but also to train himself.
Yang Wu stepped into the formation of the eighteen bronze men, and once again, he felt his profound energy being sealed, and 100,000 cauldrons of energy pressing down on his body. At the same time, the bronze man at the very front charged towards him with a combat weapon in hand.
The copper man attacked, completely unrestrained by strength. The attack was flashing with copper light, and in an instant, it fell on Yang Wu's head. The power of one attack exceeded 100,000 Ding, and it could shatter mountains and rivers.
The copper man's attack could only be described as "swift and violent."
An ordinary Heavenly Fish Realm warrior would not be able to react in time and would definitely be smashed to death by this attack. These copper men did not have the slightest bit of mercy, only endless killing power.
After all, Yang Wu was not an ordinary person. He was the number one Heavenly King. After advancing to the Heavenly Fish Realm, his strength had increased exponentially. He began to pay attention to a solid foundation in the Earth Sea Realm, digging out his potential to the limit. With all kinds of talents, he easily dodged this attack and began to counterattack.
The Soldier Fist's Straight Punch!
When he couldn't use his Xuan Qi, Yang Wu chose the simplest fist skill, the "Soldier Fist". This was a simple fist skill that anyone could use. Yang Wu's fist intent was comprehended because of the Soldier Fist. Now, when he used the Soldier Fist again, even if it was just an ordinary fist, it contained earth-shattering power.
Bang!
Yang Wu thought that this punch would be able to destroy the copper man, but when his fist came into contact with the copper man, he felt a rebounding force. His hand hurt, and the copper man was only pushed back two steps. There was a shallow fist mark on the copper man's body, but it was not destroyed.
"It's so hard. Even a peak Heavenly Realm warrior might not be able to break it." Yang Wu sighed in his heart.
The moment he forced the copper man to retreat, three more copper men rushed towards him at the same time. They stood in different directions and attacked, forming a triangle to surround Yang Wu. The combat soldiers attacked from different directions.
Tripartite Formation!
The three copper men formed the Tripartite Formation. The killing power was not so simple. It completely blocked Yang Wu's retreat. If Yang Wu could not deal with it, he would definitely be killed here.
Yang Wu's eyesight was incomparably astonishing. He discovered that the three copper men's attacks were fierce, but their speed was not as fast as he imagined. At least he could react before their attacks arrived. He continuously punched out, each punch was incomparably simple, but it contained an incomparably tyrannical power as it struck the copper man's body.
Yang Wu's attack power had increased by a lot, but it was still only able to leave a faint mark on the copper man's body. It was enough to show how hard the copper man was.
Yang Wu continuously exchanged blows with the three copper men. These three copper men were like peerless experts. Every sword and style was incomparably brilliant. If it was not for Yang Wu's fast reaction, he would not have been able to escape their attacks.
The Tripartite Formation was a common formation, but as long as the formation's power was unleashed to the extreme, it would definitely have an extremely powerful combat strength.
These three copper men were like peerless experts as they unleashed their sword skills to the extreme. One move after another, it was endless.
Yang Wu continuously staggered their attacks and counterattacked. Every punch was like the roar of a flood dragon. It was so overbearing that it could not be any more overbearing, but he still had no way to destroy them. At this time, another three bronze men joined the battle, forming the "Six Directions Array", forcing Yang Wu to have even less space to escape.
Not only that, the other copper men's empty eyes were looking at him, ready to join the battle at any time.
Yang Wu unleashed his strongest attack on these copper men, but he was still unable to destroy them. He began to observe these copper men, trying to find their weakness.
Soon, he found that there was a strange energy at the heart of the copper men. The color at that position was more vibrant, and he concluded that it was the copper men's weakness.
Just as he was about to attack the copper men's weakness, he discovered a wonderful phenomenon. These copper men were not only standing in a regular pattern, but also shifting positions were very ingenious. Moreover, each copper man contained a different sword move. However, each copper man only knew one move. Even when they moved, the sword move would change, but back and forth, they only used one move. This was a delightful discovery.
Yang Wu was very smart, and he quickly understood that each copper man contained a sword move. Together with the formation, they could unleash a very powerful force.
"I will first memorize all their sword moves, and then break them one by one." Yang Wu thought to himself.
He felt that the sword moves of the copper men in front of him were extraordinary. He was afraid that they were not as simple as ordinary heavenly skills. Every move contained different changes, and it was not easy to comprehend them.
Yang Wu had the Divine Court Dao Flower, and his mental strength was extremely powerful. He forcefully imprinted the copper men's sword moves in his mind.
When he memorized the first copper man's move, the copper men changed. Eighteen copper men attacked at the same time.
Eighteen Copper Men Formation!
Eighteen different sword moves came at him from all directions. Even without profound qi, he could still feel that this was an absolutely earth-shattering move.
In an instant, Yang Wu felt extremely suffocated. This was the terrifying part of the Eighteen Copper Men Formation. Once they all attacked, it would be difficult to stop them.
Before breaking through, Yue Xin had told him that the goal of dealing with this formation was not to destroy these copper men, but to persist here for a quarter of an hour, or to forcefully charge through. Either way, it would be considered a success, and there was no need to compete with these copper men.
Yue Xin had also told him that the copper men would move out one after another during this quarter of an hour. At the end, the eighteen copper men would attack at the same time. That was the most dangerous time. Yang Wu could not understand. He had only entered the formation for a while, and it was still far from the quarter of an hour. Why did the eighteen copper men move at the same time?
"Could it be that the copper men's formation has changed because I comprehended the sword skill?" Yang Wu secretly thought.
At this moment, he did not have time to think too much. The attacks of the eighteen copper men were too powerful, and they were airtight. Even if he used the Swimming Dragon Steps, he could not dodge them. He could only fight them head-on.
Bang bang!
Yang Wu's fists and legs continuously attacked, respectively blocking these attacks, but he still suffered a great loss. Many parts of his body were slashed by the copper swords, and his clothes were torn. If not for his fast reaction, he would have been injured. These attacks were not inferior to the attacks of a top Heaven Realm expert.
Just as Yang Wu was in a sorry state, Shu Yujun, Bai Weming, and the others arrived at the second stage one after another. They were all sweating profusely and were very tired. They had to sit down cross-legged to recover their strength before they could continue to break through the second stage.
When they saw that Yang Wu had triggered the eighteen copper men to fight, their eyes were wide open, especially Shu Yujun. She knew how powerful these eighteen copper men were, and they would usually only attack at the same time in the last hundred breaths of time. Yang Wu should have just broken through the stage, so how could he attract the eighteen copper men to attack him at the same time?
When they saw Yang Wu continuously withstanding the attacks of the bronze men, they were shocked. They could withstand the attacks of a few bronze men, but when facing 18 of them at the same time, they could only defend. Was there even a chance for them to counterattack?
Not only did Yang Wu counterattack, he was also able to dodge the attacks of the eighteen copper men. The strength of his body was simply too abnormal.
"No wonder you can help us fight back in the palace. The title of Number One Heavenly King is well-deserved." Bai Weming sighed.
"This is a real man!" Shu Yujun exuded a deep affection as she spoke.
"Could it be that Miss Shu has taken a fancy to him?"
"Can't I?"
