Chapter 644
We'll make plans after we recover our strength!
"Who exactly are you? An ordinary first-level saint could never possess such strength!"
Who I am is not important.
A glint of light flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes. He suddenly shouted, and the power and true energy in his body surged instantly. A faint blue halo appeared around his body, and within the halo, faint Dao patterns flowed.
"This punch will send you to your death!"
He leaped forward, his fists coalescing into a massive cyan fist shadow, covered with ancient patterns that contained his complete understanding of the laws of power, while also carrying a trace of the profound aura of the primordial world.
This punch far exceeded the limit of a first-level Saint. Even a fifth-level Saint might not be able to withstand it.
The black-robed envoy's expression changed drastically. He dared not be careless in the slightest. His black robes fluttered without wind as he channeled his true energy to its limit, condensing it into a huge black palm print. The palm print was also covered with Dao patterns, which collided with Jiang Wang's cyan fist shadow.
"boom--!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the fourth level of space, the purple sky shattered instantly, and the ground collapsed, forming a bottomless black hole.
The violent shockwave spread outwards, even causing tiny cracks to appear in space itself.
The black-robed envoy was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the spatial barrier. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his black robe ripped apart, revealing his battered body underneath.
He struggled to get up, only to find that he had lost all strength and his meridians were broken, rendering him powerless to fight.
Jiang Wang also took several steps back, his blood and qi surging within him, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He paid a price for his fight with the black-robed envoy, but gained more. His internal strength and true energy became more refined, and his understanding of the laws of strength deepened.
"You...you really are not an ordinary cultivator..."
The black-robed envoy lay on the ground, his eyes filled with awe. "Who exactly are you? Why do you challenge the Secret Realm Tower with your status as a First Heaven cultivator?"
Jiang Wang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "I've said it before, who I am is not important."
The important thing is that I need to conquer this secret tower.
He walked towards the fourth floor, his steps slightly unsteady, but his eyes remained firm.
At this moment, the majestic voice of the Great Dao resounded once again: "Shi Jian, you have passed through the fourth level of the Secret Realm Tower and received a gift from the Great Dao, enhancing your understanding of the laws of power."
Should we rest for three hours before attempting the fifth level?
Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Rest for an hour."
He needed some time to recover his energy and digest the insights gained from fighting the black-robed envoy, in order to prepare for the challenge of the fifth level.
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle light of the Great Dao enveloped him, and pure power of the Great Dao surged into his body, repairing his damaged meridians and physical body.
Jiang Wang sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing and cultivate.
He could feel that the true energy within his body was becoming more refined and profound under the nourishment of the power of the Great Dao, and his understanding of the laws of force was also rapidly improving.
An hour later, Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes. A glint flashed in his eyes, and his blood and qi had been fully restored. Moreover, his strength and true qi were more condensed than before, and his strength had increased slightly.
He stood up and walked towards the stairs to the fifth floor.
The sky in the fifth level is golden, the ground is made of golden jade, and the air is filled with a rich aura of the Great Dao, several times richer than the previous four levels.
Directly in front stood a cultivator clad in golden armor, tall and imposing, with a majestic face and an aura as vast as the sea. He was none other than the Golden-Winged Roc, a peak-level Saint of the Fifth Heaven and the guardian of the fifth level of the tower.
Upon seeing the tower guard, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes.
This Golden-Winged Roc bears a striking resemblance to the Golden-Winged Roc from the primordial world, only its aura is more profound, clearly indicating it is a powerful member of the Golden-Winged Roc clan native to the Auspicious Realm.
The Golden-Winged Roc stared sharply at Jiang Wang, his voice booming like a bell: "Shi Jian, a first-level Heavenly Saint of Strength, you've passed four levels, which has impressed me."
However, I will guard the fifth level; you will not be allowed to advance another step.
His body shone with golden light, and his golden wings spread slightly, radiating a terrifying pressure. "I am an elder of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, who has been in charge of the fifth level for a thousand years. If you can withstand three of my moves, I will consider you to have passed the test."
"Three moves?"
Jiang Wang smiled slightly, "Very well, I want to see just how strong the Golden-Winged Roc clan really is."
He had fought against the Golden-Winged Roc in the primordial world and had some understanding of the clan's techniques and combat strength. Now, encountering the Golden-Winged Roc from the Auspicious Realm, he felt even more interested.
A fighting spirit flashed in the eyes of the Golden-Winged Roc. With a sudden flap of its golden wings, it transformed into a golden streak of light and pounced straight at Jiang Wang.
His speed was extremely fast, even faster than the black-robed messenger. At the same time, his claws lashed out, carrying a sharp golden light and containing the power and true energy of the peak of the fifth level of heaven, capable of easily tearing through space.
"First move, the Great Roc Spreads Its Wings!"
Jiang Wang's expression hardened, and he quickly retreated. At the same time, he waved his right hand, and a barrier of azure true energy condensed.
"clang!"
The claws gripped the barrier, producing a piercing metallic clang. Cracks appeared instantly, and the barrier shattered.
Jiang Wang was so shocked that he took another step back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The speed and attack power of this Golden-Winged Roc are indeed well-deserved.
"Second move, Golden Claw Splits the Sky!"
The Golden-Winged Roc's voice rang out, and its body pounced again, its claws striking out simultaneously. Two golden claw shadows pierced towards Jiang Wang like sharp swords, tearing the space in the wake of the claw shadows.
Jiang Wang stopped dodging, circulated his true energy to its limit, formed a hand seal, and a huge cyan fist shadow condensed, covered with Dao patterns, which collided with the two golden claw shadows.
"boom!"
After the loud bang, the golden claw shadow shattered, and Jiang Wang and the Golden-Winged Roc both took several steps back.
"Such powerful force!"
A hint of shock flashed in the Golden-Winged Roc's eyes. "You, a first-level Heaven Saint, are actually stronger than some fifth-level Heaven Saints! Third move, Roc Burns the Heavens!"
He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a golden flame. The flame was extremely hot and contained the natal fire of the Golden-Winged Roc clan. It could burn true qi, corrode the flesh, and even burn the laws of the Great Dao.
Golden flames surged toward Jiang Wang like a tidal wave, igniting the air wherever they passed and instantly melting the golden jade ground.
Jiang Wang's expression changed slightly; this natal fire was indeed powerful.
With a swift movement, a thick layer of cyan true energy armor appeared around him. At the same time, his hands quickly formed hand seals, and a huge cyan shield condensed, covered with ancient patterns and containing the immense power of the primordial world.
"boom!"
The golden flames struck the shield, causing it to tremble violently. The patterns on the shield flickered continuously, and the blue light intertwined with the golden flames, filling the air with dense energy fluctuations.
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and continuously poured in his inner energy to maintain the stability of the shield.
He could feel the temperature of the golden flames rising higher and higher, and the cracks on the shield were increasing.
"hold onto!"
Jiang Wang silently chanted in his heart, and the power and true energy in his body circulated wildly. At the same time, he mobilized a trace of the primordial power of the ancient world and injected it into the shield.
The shield instantly lit up with a dazzling cyan light, blocking the erosion of the golden flames.
A moment later, the golden flames gradually died down.
Jiang Wang retracted his shield, his body swaying slightly. His internal energy and true qi were greatly depleted, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The Golden-Winged Roc landed on the ground, its breathing somewhat disordered, clearly indicating that using its natal true fire had also taken a toll on it.
"You...you actually blocked my life-bound true fire!"
The Golden-Winged Roc's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Shi Jian, what kind of monster are you?"
Jiang Wang, panting heavily, said calmly, "Three moves have passed, you've lost."
The Golden-Winged Roc remained silent for a moment, then nodded: "I lost."
You are indeed qualified to pass the fifth level.
He paused, then said, "The guardian of the sixth floor is a peak-level Saint of the Sixth Heaven, named the Old Man Xuan Turtle. He has extremely strong defense and is good at protracted battles. If you challenge him, you must be careful."
"Thank you for reminding me."
Jiang Wang nodded and headed towards the fifth floor.
He could sense that after these battles, his strength had improved considerably, and his understanding of the laws of force had become more profound.
Perhaps, once he passes through the Secret Realm Tower, his strength cultivation will break through to the second level, or even higher.
Step onto the stairs and arrive at the sixth floor.
The sky in the sixth level is deep blue, the ground is blue jade, and the air is filled with a rich water-attribute force.
Directly in front stood an old man in a blue Taoist robe, his body hunched over, holding a black cane in his hand. His aura was as steady as a mountain. He was none other than the Xuan Turtle Elder, the peak power saint of the sixth level and the guardian of the sixth tower.
The old man, Xuan Gui, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were as deep as a pool as he stared at Jiang Wang. His voice was old and slow: "Shi Jian, a first-level Heavenly Saint of Strength, has passed five levels. He is indeed a rare genius."
Unfortunately, you can only stop here.
A flash of blue light appeared around him, and a huge phantom of a black tortoise emerged, covered with thick scales and exuding an aura of indestructibility.
"Old Man Xuan Gui, I have long admired your name."
Jiang Wang got into position. "I know your defense is extremely strong. Today, I will break through your defense!"
The old man with the Xuan Turtle smiled faintly, his tone filled with confidence: "Over the years, countless people have tried to break through my defenses, but no one has ever succeeded."
the same as you. "
He lightly tapped the ground with his cane, and the phantom of the Xuan Turtle suddenly moved, transforming into a blue light shield that enveloped him.
The scales on the light shield shimmered with a cold light, clearly indicating extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Jiang Wang moved swiftly, instantly rushing to the Xuan Turtle Elder's front, and unleashed a powerful punch that slammed into the blue light barrier.
"boom!"
After the loud noise, the blue light shield trembled slightly, but no cracks appeared. Instead, Jiang Wang was forced back several steps by the shock.
"It's really tough."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes, but his fighting spirit intensified. "Again!"
He lunged forward again, unleashing a barrage of punches, each one carrying overwhelming force, relentlessly slamming into the blue light shield.
For a time, loud noises continued, and the blue light shield trembled incessantly, yet it remained unbroken.
The old man, Xuan Turtle, stood calmly within the light barrier, even closing his eyes, clearly extremely confident in his defense.
"It's no use. Although your strength is great, it's far from enough to break through my Xuan Turtle's defense."
Jiang Wang grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
He could sense that the Xuan Turtle's defense was not only extremely strong, but it could also absorb a portion of his power and convert it into its own defensive power.
If the fight continues like this, his strength and true energy will eventually be exhausted, while the Xuan Turtle Elder will remain as steady as Mount Tai.
"We can't keep dragging this on."
Jiang Wang thought to himself.
He abruptly retreated, ceasing his attack, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
He recalled some body-refining techniques from the primordial era; perhaps he could use that method to break through the Xuan Turtle's defenses.
Jiang Wang took a deep breath, circulating his internal energy and simultaneously channeling his essence and blood into his fists.
His fists instantly turned bright red, radiating a scorching aura. At the same time, ancient patterns covered his fists, containing the profound mysteries of primordial body-refining techniques.
"This punch is called Primordial Earth Shattering!"
He leaped forward, his fists coalescing into a massive red fist shadow, covered with primordial patterns, containing the immense power of the primordial world and his own essence, and blasted towards the blue light shield.
This punch was the strongest he could throw at the moment. If he couldn't break through the defense, he would have no choice but to retreat temporarily, recover his strength, and then make further plans.
The old man, Xuan Gui, opened his eyes, a hint of solemnity flashing in them, clearly sensing the terror of that punch.
He stomped his cane hard, and the scales of the Xuan Turtle phantom instantly stood up, making the blue light shield even more dazzling.
"Guarded by the Xuan Turtle, no one can break through!"
"boom--!"
The red fist slammed heavily onto the blue light barrier, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire sixth level of space. The deep blue sky shattered instantly, and the blue jade ground collapsed, forming a huge black hole.
The violent shockwave spread outwards, and countless cracks appeared in the space.
The blue light shield trembled violently, and the scales on it began to fall off, revealing cracks.
The old man, Xuan Gui, changed his expression and spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering a backlash as well.
"How is this possible? You actually managed to break through my Xuan Turtle Defense?"
Jiang Wang didn't stop. Taking advantage of the cracks appearing in the blue light shield, he threw another punch. The red fist shadow condensed again and smashed into the crack.
"Crack!"
The blue light shield shattered instantly, and the phantom of the Xuan Turtle let out a shrill scream before dissipating into the air.
The old man, Xuan Gui, was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, covered in blood and barely breathing.
"I...I lost..."
The old man, Xuan Gui, lay on the ground, his eyes filled with despair.
His Xuan Turtle Defense was actually broken by a First Heaven Saint, which he could not accept.
Jiang Wang walked up to the old man Xuan Turtle and said calmly, "Tell me, what is the strength of the guardian of the seventh floor?"
The old man with the Xuan Turtle gave a wry smile and said, "The guardian of the seventh level is a peak power saint of the seventh heaven, named Phoenix Fairy. She is a powerful member of the Phoenix Clan, skilled in speed and fire attacks, and her strength far surpasses mine... If you challenge her, you must be careful, her Phoenix True Fire is even more powerful than the Golden-Winged Roc's natal true fire..."
"Phoenix Fairy?"
The Auspicious Realm is indeed full of hidden talents, boasting not only the Golden-Winged Roc but also the Phoenix Clan. (End of Chapter)
