The Sixteenth Level of the Chiming Nine Heavens Map! (Revised)

"The Canglang Sever!" True Person Cangjiang chanted loudly.

Then the runes on the surface of the black and blue giant sword rose up and transformed into a monstrous wave, surging toward the Mars Star Wheel as the sun.

The waves formed by the gathering of the Origin Power of heaven and earth spread far and wide, easily enveloping Zhou Hao, who was a hundred feet away. Then, the black-blue giant sword seemed to be gathering momentum in the waves, and directly cleaved through the sky to slash at Zhou Hao's body.

On the other side.

Ji Ning, who had been standing in mid-air controlling the Lesser Thousand Sword Formation without moving, suddenly had a pair of black wings appear on his back. At the same time, his body suddenly grew larger, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall giant wielding two long swords.

Whoosh!

Ji Ning wings and charged towards Zhou Hao like a roc.

The sword in his hand flashed across the sky, leaving two dazzling sword streaks in the air.

"I can't break through Senior Brother Zhou Hao's magic weapon with just the Lesser Thousand Sword Formation. The difference in both spiritual strength and Origin Power is too great."

Ji Ning was well aware that there was a huge gap between himself and Zhou Hao, but the main purpose of this battle was to feel just how strong the peerless figures among the Myriad Phenomena True Person were, and at the same time, to test his own strength.

"My strongest skill is still close combat. As long as I get close, I can at least force Senior Brother Zhou Hao to show some of his true abilities." Ji Ning stared intently at Zhou Hao, but the sword light in his hand became even softer, like real moonlight falling.

It was his current strongest technique, the fifth move of the Three-Foot Sword, ' Moonlight Hidden Sword '.

The edge of the Cloud Mist Formation.

Liu Yu maintained the formation's operation, preventing the fluctuations from their battle from spreading out.

Yun Yuchan, Mu Zishuo, and Lin Xia'er stood aside watching the battle.

Even through the magic array, seeing Ji Ning's moonlight sword beam, True Person Cangjiang's giant sword that could cleave rivers and waves, and Yu Wei's enormous ice phoenix with its heart-stopping power, Mu Zishuo felt his heart leap into his throat.

"The senior brothers and sisters are so powerful when they join forces. Even immortals would have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge," Mu Zishuo murmured.

"That's nothing," Lin Xia'er pouted. "Senior Brother Zhou Hao has only used two of his Seven Luminaries Star Wheel; he hasn't even used any of his secret techniques and supernatural abilities yet. Right, Senior Sister Yu Chan?"

"Yes, Senior Brother did hold back." Yun Yuchan absentmindedly.

Recalling the seemingly profound words Liu Yu had spoken to her during their occasional moments alone these past few days, she now looked at Zhou Hao, scrutinizing his eyes, nose, and mouth...

Because of the Cloud Mist Formation blocking her view, she wasn't afraid that her senior brother would feel her gaze.

This was the first time she had ever looked at something so carefully and attentively.

Inside the Cloud Mist Formation.

Despite facing attacks from three sides, Zhou Hao remained calm and composed.

Watching Ji Ning use his supernatural movement technique to rush in front of him in the blink of an eye, Zhou Hao thought to himself, "He's really inexperienced."

At this time, Ji Ning's limit in the Law of Heaven and Earth Power was only ten zhang in size. He had not yet mastered the Three Heads and Six Arms Divine Power, and his swordsmanship was only the true meaning of the Great Dao... Only his Three-Foot Sword technique had some highlights, worthy of his own praise.

Call!

Zhou Hao's body suddenly grew larger, also becoming ten zhang in size, with tortoise shell patterns appearing on his body surface, and his eyes becoming like snake eyes.

Boom!

Two enormous black and white yin-yang millstone phantoms appeared in the Post-Heaven him.

An overwhelming aura emanated from him, causing the three demons who were attacking him to feel a chill run down their spines.

Bang bang bang bang...

In an instant, countless fist shadows gathered like drops of water forming a sea, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and a raging storm, unleashing a boundless tsunami that swept across everything around it.

Ji Ning's sword light, the waves of the Cangjiang River, and Yu Wei's ice phoenix were all astonished by the vast and magnificent fist techniques imbued with profound and mysterious meanings.

His own attack was like a stream flowing into the sea, not only failing to create a ripple, but also being submerged by the surging back waves.

With a loud bang, Ji Ning and his companions' sword light, spells, magical artifacts, and so on either dissipated or were thrown back.

"Oh my god."

"So strong!"

"Fear."

Ji Ning and the others were all dumbfounded.

The power of a single strike was terrifying, and Zhou Hao was clearly holding back.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to be driven back without harming a single one.

"The gap is too big."

The three looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Ji Ning, your lotus-protecting spell is quite good," Zhou Hao praised.

In the original work, Ji Ning was known for his defensive skills.

He was closest to me just now, yet he was the last to be blasted away. Besides Ji Ning's yin-yang moonlight sword aura providing defense, the ' Water-Fire Lotus ' that enveloped his body was absolutely crucial to his victory.

The lotus leaves and petals were layered upon each other, and their defensive capabilities were comparable to many Earth-rank protective magic treasures.

"I was blasted away by my senior brother's few punches anyway," Ji Ning said with a wry smile.

"You've only reached the tenth level of the Chiming Nine Heavens Map, and your supernatural powers aren't strong yet. But things will be different in a while," Zhou Hao said with a smile.

At this moment, True Person Cangjiang and Yu Wei also flew over.

"Senior Brother Zhou Hao, how did you manage to combine several profound principles of the Dao in that punch just now?"

"The Changsheng being..."

The three had just finished fighting Zhou Hao, and were still deeply shocked and had many questions. So they returned to the large boat floating on the lake to discuss their experiences.

In the universe, although there are countless paths to the Dao, and they vary in quality, all different paths share commonalities.

Even if it is the same 'path', different people will have different understandings and interpretations of its mysteries.

Although Zhou Hao's understanding of the Dao far surpassed that of the others, when he talked with Ji Ning and the others and listened to their imaginative and whimsical ideas, he naturally had many inspirations in his mind as well.

For several days in a row, they sometimes competed, sometimes discussed philosophy, and sometimes chatted about everything under the sun. Not only did everyone make progress, big or small, but being secluded in Winged Serpent Lake, far from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, made Zhou Hao's mind more and more serene and peaceful. He no longer deliberately thought about the bottleneck that had hindered him for more than ten years.

... The Earth Ruins Realm, the Floating Island.

Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit clone, who was originally sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly had a thought and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Indeed, a balance of tension and relaxation is the way of both literature and martial arts. When the mind is at peace and free from worries, one naturally and effortlessly grasps the final hurdle."

His divine power had already reached the peak of the primordial spirit level. Now that he had grasped the key, Zhou Hao directly began to operate the sixteenth level of the Chiming Nine Heavens Map.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

In the void beyond the Endless Space, the two Supreme Star, ' Lunar Star ' and ' Solar Star ', were activated and immediately unleashed their power, which was transmitted directly to Zhou Hao through the void and the magic array of the Weiyang Palace.

The leap from the fifteenth to the sixteenth level represents a significant advancement in one's realm.

Each major breakthrough is aided by the Lunar Star and Solar Star, allowing the divine body to undergo another transformation.

The sixteenth level will give birth to a divine and demonic body at the Void Return level, with extraordinary power.

Soon, the entire palace was filled with a large amount of Lunar True Water and Solar True Fire descended from the Lunar Star and the Solar Star.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

The Lunar True Water and the Solar True Fire completely enveloped and surrounded Zhou Hao, making him resemble a giant egg.

The energy contained within it continuously flowed into his body, transforming every aspect of his divine form in a mysterious way that even Zhou Hao could hardly comprehend.

Gradually...

All the descending Lunar True Water and Solar True Fire dissipated, leaving only a nearly hundred-foot-tall, two-colored 'egg' floating in the center of the palace.
