Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Trial of Gold
As soon as he entered the door, Zhan Chen felt a sharp gold aura rushing towards him, and his face felt a slight tingle, but Zhan Chen, who was cultivating metallic true qi, felt very comfortable and began to observe what kind of world this was.
The world is full of swords, both on the ground and on the ceiling.
However, Zhan Chen found that most of those swords were incomplete, and even some of them were rusty, and I don't know how many years had passed, and each sword seemed to have its own story and its own glory. But now, they are gathered here and form the second level of the golden trial, the Sword Shrine.
The gate leading to the third floor was on the opposite side, only a hundred meters away from the entrance, however, between these hundred meters, there were 9 disciples struggling forward, all of them were cultivators of metallic true qi, and most of them were disciples of the Golden Elephant Sect that Zhan Chen was familiar with.
"Look! It's Senior Brother Zhan here!" one of the disciples lost his mind and called out to the other disciple in front of him.
"Stupid, don't be distracted...... the disciple in front of him hurriedly reminded.
It's a pity that it's too late, and just beside them, suddenly several remnant swords vibrated together, forming several sword qi, which erupted with lightning speed, each of which was equivalent to the full force of the martial master's Great Perfection powerhouse.
The two people who spoke hurriedly raised their swords to respond, but they still couldn't respond in time, and they were hit by swords one after another, and they were seriously injured and knelt on the ground.
The two looked at each other and shouted without hesitation: "Go!"
Zhan Chen paid attention to observe again, and found that the other disciples were also doing their best to resist the continuous attacks from the sword mound. These attacks come from all directions, even from the top of the head, making people defenseless, and resisting them all requires not only a high degree of concentration, sharp reflexes, but also good strength.
Some disciples who are not strong have a hard time resisting an attack, let alone dealing with several sword qi attacks at the same time.
Over time, Zhan Chen discovered another rule, the closer he got to the intersection of the third layer, the denser the attack of the sword qi became, and it was difficult to take a step forward.
He finally understood a little why, after so long, he came to the second layer, and he could still find that there were 9 disciples still staying in this level, which was really a short distance of 100 meters, which was equivalent to 10,000 miles for them.
Suddenly, he saw a white figure appear at the entrance of the third floor, it was - Li Jianchen!
Zhan Chen will never forget his heavenly talents, even if he has defeated him in one fell swoop at the Lanfeng Grand Ceremony, but it is the anti-heaven performance of the Eye of the Dao and the Phaseless Golden Body, apart from these, he is really nothing compared to him.
At this time, Li Jianchen also faced the final test of this level, a three-meter-long sword stood at the entrance of the third level, although it was mutilated, but it still exuded a fierce momentum, which made people feel discouraged, at this time, the sword began to vibrate, and emitted a wave of sword roars that were higher than a wave, as if brewing a thunderous blow.
Facing this sword, Li Jianchen's face appeared unprecedentedly solemn, he understood that this was the final test he would face, and he also clenched the Dragon Yin Sword in his hand and confronted it.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed on the big sword, and a sword qi was split, and as soon as this sword qi came out, the other sword qi were eclipsed, as if it was the master of this heaven and earth.
"Sword intent!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but cry out in surprise, he never expected that a dead thing would be able to deliver a blow containing sword intent that only human geniuses can comprehend, and this kind of will seemed to be on top of Li Jianchen's will, forcing this genius to have the urge to retreat.
At this most critical moment, Li Jianchen seemed to have realized something, held back the instinctive fear in his body, and slashed his strongest sword towards this sword qi with all his might.
At this moment, the martial arts will of the sword point reached a sublimation, and it grew to the level of equal weight with the martial arts will contained in the great sword.
The two sword qi collided and canceled each other out, and Li Jianchen took the opportunity to leap and enter the passage leading to the third layer.
At the entrance, he turned around, pointed the dragon sword at Zhan Chen, and shouted loudly: "Zhan Chen, I have passed this golden trial, you are the one who can defeat me, this little challenge should be no problem, I am waiting for you on the third layer, don't let me down!"
With these words, he turned again and disappeared into the dark hallway.
Looking at his departing back, Zhan Chen's eyes were full of fighting intent, and he faintly felt that Li Jianchen's strength had made an essential leap in strength in the process of competing with the sword qi emitted by the big sword just now, and I was afraid that if there was another competition at this time, his big Luo Jin body might not be able to defend against his sword.
"I also have to work hard to realize my sword intent as soon as possible!" Zhan Chen thought silently.
Li Jianchen's strength made a sense of crisis rise in his heart for no reason, and he had a premonition that that the arrogant young man would become a powerful competitor for himself in the future!
"Now let's pass this second level first!" Zhan Chen muttered, a sense of pride rose in his heart, and he jumped into the sword mound.
As soon as he entered, a sword qi struck him, Zhan Chen's eyes froze, and the tiger roaring sword in his hand slashed out: "Golden Light Sword!"
In an instant, the sword qi was split in half, and it was not very difficult. So he became more confident and walked towards the finish line step by step.
Along the way, the sword qi that came towards him became more and more dense. However, Zhan Chen had the golden light sword sword technique in his hand, and the speed of the sword was three points faster than that of the same level, even if he was in the rain of swords, he could walk leisurely. In the end, he simply regarded breaking through the level as a process of sword training, and slowly realized the true meaning of gold.
Unconsciously, he came to the front of the great sword guarding the gate, and then he suddenly startled, stared at it solemnly, and gathered the true qi of his whole body to deal with the strongest challenge.
The big sword began to vibrate again, and Zhan Chen's nerves were tense to the extreme, and suddenly he only heard a "bang", and a sword qi slashed towards him.
Only by facing it head-on will you understand how terrifying this blow is, and the sword qi has an extremely domineering momentum, as if it is about to bend Zhan Chen's knees.
Zhan Chen only felt that the true qi in his whole body was imprisoned, and he couldn't mobilize smoothly, and he was secretly shocked in his heart: "Is this the sword intent on the big sword? It's not at the same level as the one he faced before!"
"No, if you continue like this, you will lose, I can't lose this will. What is the mystery of gold? It is indestructible and indestructible. ”
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth to withstand the pressure, and swung the sword in his hand with all his might: "The will of gold, break it for me!" and then slashed out the sword technique.
The two sword qi collided together, Zhan Chen didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly ran Da Luo's golden body, and a dark gold true qi armor slashed on his body.
Sure enough, the golden light slash and the sword qi emitted by the big sword only lasted for a moment, and then they were completely defeated, and then the sword qi of the big sword continued to come, pressing down on the top of Zhan Chen's head.
"Success or failure is here!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, the sword qi fell on the dark gold armor, and he was still slowly cutting in, as if he was about to break through the true qi defense and split his head in half.
Cold sweat couldn't help but start dripping down his forehead, and in the moment of life and death, the scriptures of the "Diamond Sutra" suddenly appeared in Zhan Chen's mind, and his heart began to recite silently, and his shaky heart suddenly became firm and calm.
And this firmness also seemed to be transmitted to Da Luojin's body, and the part of the armor on the top of his head that competed with the sword qi suddenly began to absorb the sharp gold qi contained in the surrounding True Qi armor, and began to become more tenacious, and continued to consume the power of the sword qi until that will was exhausted.
Zhan Chen only felt a sudden relief on his head, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly took the opportunity to take a step, flashed the big sword, and broke into the corridor leading to the third floor in one fell swoop.
Climbing up the narrow and dark corridor, he still recalled in his heart the strange changes in Da Luo's golden body at the moment when he resisted the sword qi just now.
Suddenly, he stopped and shouted excitedly, "Could it be - the golden body of no phase!"
"Phaseless Golden Body" is the supreme realm of the heaven-level supreme defensive martial art "Phaseless Golden Body", but Zhan Chen has been thinking about it for more than 3 years and is at a loss. But at that moment just now, he had a feeling of breakthrough.
Zhan Chen hurriedly followed the cultivation method of the Phaseless Golden Body Decision, and ran the True Qi again, a golden light flashed on his body, but nothing happened, it seemed that it was still the same.
"Is it a delusion?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but fall into hard thought again.
It took him a long time before he came to his senses: "I shouldn't stay here for a long time, it's better to pass the third layer of trials first!"
So he cut off the obsession in his heart and continued to march towards the top floor of the temple.
