Blood splattered in the consciousness space. The Assassin Saint seemed to have been resurrected, unleashing various bizarre Killing Life Grand Art. At first, Zhou Tong could only do his best to use the Nine Secrets: Qian to predict in advance, and was almost entirely passive in blocking, only occasionally able to launch a counterattack.

However, Zhou Tong's achievements improved rapidly in the later stages because he gradually figured out the methods of Assassin Saint and gradually understood all the mysteries of the Heavenly Court's "Slaughter Scripture".

This battle in the consciousness space was extremely frustrating for Zhou Tong, because he had never encountered an opponent who so completely suppressed him since his debut.

Even when facing Imperial Son like Ji Zi, Zhou Tong was able to suppress him.

But upon further reflection, it becomes clear that this is a Assassin Saint, a saint who emerged from slaughter and battle!

In terms of combat experience, he was countless times better than Zhou Tong; in terms of killing methods, he was even more unpredictable and bizarre; in terms of realm, he was a saint, and even though his strength was insufficient, he still displayed the Dao insights of a saint.

It's already incredibly impressive that Zhou Tong was able to injure him against such an opponent.

Zhou Tong's fighting spirit was ferocious, and he made rapid progress in this constant battle. In his duel with the Assassin Saint, he did his best to use all the secret techniques and methods he knew to fight against the Assassin Saint's methods.

Especially as the profound meaning of the "Slaughter Scripture" gradually merged into his heart, Zhou Tong became even more composed in dealing with the Assassin Saint.

This battle was originally caused by the Nine Secrets: Lin technique.

When the Great Dao descends, it is naturally the Great Dao of the Assassin Saint that descends upon Zhou Tong. Therefore, every time he dismantles the Assassin Saint's attack, Zhou Tong can gain a portion of the Great Dao insights from the "Slaughter Scripture," which in turn weakens the Assassin Saint even further.

"Puff!"

Finally, in the consciousness space, Zhou Tong pierced through the forehead of this Assassin Saint with a single finger. He cried out, turned into a phantom, and finally disappeared into the consciousness space.

Outside, Zhou Tong finally opened his eyes.

"Puff!!"

Upon opening his eyes, Zhou Tong immediately coughed up Purple Blood. The Assassin Saint opposite him had completely transformed into the Dao, but all the rules and laws did not enter the world; instead, they entered Zhou Tong's body.

Although the last trace of obsession within the corpse of the Assassin Saint had been severed in the consciousness space, the terrifying Way of Slaughter and divine power of the Way of Slaughter still surged into Zhou Tong's body, leaving it in a complete mess.

"Boom!"

Flames raged around Zhou Tong. He was bathed in Divine Fire, and a phantom image of True Phoenix appeared. Engulfed by this firelight, he became incomparably holy.

His body was recovering, but the Killing Intent emanating from the Assassin Saint continued to pour in from the outside.

A torrent of Killing Intent surged forth from the outside world, like a flood bursting its banks, like a thousand horses galloping, making Zhou Tong feel as insignificant as an ant, as weak as a speck of dust, and in constant danger of being annihilated.

A terrifying Killing Intent, like countless sharp swords, pierced through his primordial spirit and physical body. Each instance of damage caused by the Killing Intent was healed by the Immortal Phoenix Method in the next instant.

This was a terrible torment, and Zhou Tong couldn't escape even if he wanted to, because he had completely absorbed all the Great Dao scattered by the Assassin Saint's Transformation into his body. Naturally, this killing intent, which originally needed heaven and earth to resolve, also rushed into Zhou Tong's body.

The endless Killing Intent, like thousands of swords, constantly washed over the area, and it continued to intensify.

This is the Killing Intent, Killing Intent, and divine power that the Heavenly Court's Assassin Saint has accumulated throughout his life. Under these circumstances, Zhou Tong is essentially fighting against a saint. How can he withstand this?

This is an almost hopeless situation. Even the Immortal Phoenix Method is struggling to withstand it. The Killing Intent is too fierce, and the recovery speed is far slower than the killing speed of the killing Killing Intent.

A vibrant life force emanated from Zhou Tong, and Immortal Phoenix wings appeared behind him. A bolt of lightning surged within his body to purify the Killing Intent. On the verge of despair, he spontaneously used all his trump cards to resist this Killing Intent.

The Ten Evils Treasure Art, the Nine Secrets, and the Great Emperor's Secret Methods appeared one after another.

"Boom!"

In the end, Zhou Tong survived. Amidst the towering flames, his tattered body rapidly recovered, flesh and blood grew, bones reconnected, and gradually began to gleam.

To be reborn from the brink of death, to awaken from the Silent Annihilation.

Phoenix Nirvana is the strongest mental technique of the Immortal Phoenix Clan and the number one healing technique in the world, far surpassing the Nine Secrets of the Nine Secrets: Zhe, making it unparalleled in the world!

It can not only heal wounds, but also be used for cultivation. Historically, there have been powerful members of the Immortal Phoenix Clan who had great determination and perseverance to kill themselves, erase their Lifetime's cultivation, and start all over again to reshape their true selves.

Rebirth in death, return from Silent Annihilation, and then become even stronger.

With its rebirth, the purple figure in Zhou Tong's Immortal Platform shone even brighter, embracing the bell and unleashing nine immortal Divine Ring.

"Boom!!"

A world of thunder descended, filled with countless Humanoid Lightning and ancient Heavenly Court. This was no longer the previous sea of thunder, but a world in itself, a world of thunder.

The area for hundreds of miles was shrouded in thunder, the lightning turned into a sea, and the thunderstorms connected into a blazing purple light.

The Thunder Tribulation lasted for half a day before it stopped.

When the lightning stopped, Zhou Tong had already advanced to the Paragon of the second level of the Immortal Platform.

"I can't keep courting death like this!" Even though Zhou Tong had broken through his cultivation level, he was still a little scared.

The Nine Secrets: Lin has miraculous effects on enlightenment, but it's not done this way. No one dares to directly leap several major realms and utilize the power of a sage's transformation into the Dao while cultivating this secret. Historically, cultivators who practiced this secret at most only utilized the divine power of the Great Dao of cultivators several minor realms higher than themselves.

During this period, relying on his multiple Latent Life, Zhou Tong has become somewhat indifferent to life and death. This is a major flaw that he must correct, otherwise some inexplicable changes may occur later.

"Let's play it safe for now, develop cautiously and don't be reckless! Don't be reckless unless it involves the most crucial path, don't be reckless!" Zhou Tong said silently to himself, while closing his eyes and quietly comprehending what he had gained this time.

Although this experience was extremely dangerous, it was also very rewarding for Zhou Tong.

Killing Intent invaded, the blade of the Way of Slaughter slashed down relentlessly, and Zhou Tong gradually came to understand what it meant to Dao Severing.

The Second Layer of Immortal Platform is a rather special realm. The special thing about this realm is that there is a huge threshold between the eighth and Ninth Heaven heavens, which many people cannot cross in their entire lives.

For most cultivators, the limit is the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm. No matter how hard they try, they cannot break through to the ninth level. This is because what is needed to break through to the Ninth Heaven is not time, but rather to understand what it means to "Dao Severing."

Only by understanding what it means to Dao Severing can one advance to the Second Layer of Immortal Platform Ninth Heaven Platform.

The hurdle of Dao Severing the Dao is a crucial test for cultivators to truly embark on the path of seeking the Dao. Many exceptionally talented cultivators, even those whose natural abilities rival those of Great Emperor, have ultimately failed at this hurdle.

This hurdle has nothing to do with a cultivator's talent or ability. In fact, for many cultivators, the higher their talent, the more difficult it is to successfully Dao Severing through the Dao Severing.

During this training, he was constantly slashed by Killing Intent, and he gradually understood what it meant to Dao Severing, what it meant for Heaven to sever the Dao of Man, and what it meant to destroy one's foundation.

The power of the Assassin Saint, which was guided by the Nine Secrets: Lin, allowed Zhou Tong to experience the profound meaning of Dao Severing ahead of time.

The auxiliary effect of the Nine Secrets: Lin in cultivation was fully demonstrated at this moment. Using this secret, cultivators could fully comprehend the true mysteries of the next realm in advance, thus enabling them to break through step by step.

At this moment, beams of divine light shot out from Zhou Tong's body, converging to form nine immortal Divine Ring that appeared on the Immortal Platform, Divine Ring.

Through his understanding of the "Slaughter Scripture," through this practice of the Nine Secrets: Lin technique, and through his struggle against Killing Intent, he not only completely entered the second Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Platform, but also reached the Paragon!

Zhou Tong's primordial spirit resides on the Immortal Platform, constantly tempered by the Killing Intent of the Assassin Saint, and has become so powerful that even ordinary kings might not be able to contend with it.

"Buzz!"

The Void the Great trembled, and Zhou Tong's primordial spirit, holding a bell, stepped out from between his eyebrows.

His primordial spirit was no bigger than a fist, yet incredibly solid. Reflecting the Hegemonic Bell in his arms, it seemed as if it were forged entirely from purple gold. Nine Divine Ring appeared behind his head, transforming into immortal Dao light, faintly accompanied by the resonance of the Great Dao, rumbling and pulsating.

"Brush!"

Finally, with a flash of light, the purple figure holding the clock stepped back and sat cross-legged on the Immortal Platform.
