Clearing Eight Floors in Succession
Soon, Chen Changqing had arrived at the fifth floor.
The Gatekeeper a cold and beautiful woman whose cultivation had reached the Core Formation Realm. The combination of her inner fire and Sword Light created a formidable force.
Chen Changqing drew his fingers together like a sword, and the rainbow light of the "Rainbow Sword Technique" First Appearance of Rainbow Light.
"Call out!"
In an instant, a seven-colored sword rainbow flashed, piercing through the sword Sword Light the elixir fire.
Next, Chen Changqing successfully reached the sixth floor of the Trial Tower.
The one guarding this pass is a Cultivator at the Golden Core Realm.
His attack was powerful and imposing, with Golden Core phantom hovering above his head. He was using a low-level Divine Ability, yet it was incredibly potent.
"Divine Ability?"
Chen Changqing noticed this and was secretly startled.
It should be noted that among Human Race Cultivators, only those who have reached the Purple Mansion level can access Technique Method Divine Abilities.
The Gatekeeper was only at the Golden Core stage, yet he was already adept at using Divine Ability.
"No wonder Cultivator at the late Nascent Soul Late Stage was defeated on this sixth level."
Chen Changqing sighed inwardly.
The first Cultivator to enter the Trial Tower had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, but he was defeated on the sixth level.
After a moment's thought, without giving it much thought, he flipped his hand, and a bolt of Palm Lightning flashed out from his palm.
"Bang!"
In no time, the Palm Lightning pierced through the Golden Core Cultivator's Divine Ability, shattering the illusory Golden Core above his head as well.
Then, the staircase leading to the seventh floor appeared before Chen Changqing's eyes.
These scenes unfolded rapidly, happening in an extremely short period of time.
Outside the Trial Tower.
Everyone who saw this was shocked.
"Holy crap!"
"So fast?"
"So you've already passed the first six levels?"
"This kid seems to be quite strong!"
"..."
The crowd gasped in surprise.
"Snort!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Kai gave a cold snort and said irritably:
"We've only made it past the first six levels."
"That person is just Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivator, nothing to brag about!"
As he spoke, Xue Kai glanced disdainfully at everyone present, thinking to himself:
"Judging from his appearance, he's at most like me, destined to be defeated on the seventh floor."
"Although the Gatekeeper is only at the Purple Mansion Realm, his strength..."
What caught Xue Kai off guard was...
While he was still lost in thought, he saw that the light on the seventh floor of the Trial Tower had dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, the light from the eighth floor began to flicker.
This also means that Chen Changqing successfully passed the seventh level.
"Ah?"
How is that possible?
"You cleared the seventh floor so quickly?"
Xue Kai muttered in a daze, his eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of shock.
Just now, he thought that Chen Changqing would not suffer the same fate as him, being defeated by the Gatekeeper of the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Before anyone could have imagined, Chen Changqing had already passed the seventh level before he could even finish thinking about it.
Not far away, the black-robed elder from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, upon seeing this, felt a sudden tension in his heart, and his breathing became much more rapid.
Naturally, he didn't want to see Chen Changqing continue to successfully pass the levels.
"This kid seems to have some skills."
"However, the strength of the Gatekeeper within the Trial Tower cannot be determined by their cultivation level."
"The Gatekeeper of the eighth level is said to be at the Nascent Soul stage, but his true strength is comparable to the Peak Spirit Transformation!"
The old man in black robes muttered to himself.
He had expended a great deal of effort when he tried to reach the eighth level.
As a result, upon reaching the ninth level, he was quickly defeated by the Spirit Transformation Gatekeeper.
Meanwhile, on the eighth floor of the Trial Tower.
Chen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, and standing in front of him was a tall and imposing man.
"Boom!"
Upon seeing Chen Changqing arrive, the man didn't stand on ceremony and immediately made his move.
"Boom!"
He didn't use any Technique Method Divine Ability, but instead used pure force to punch Chen Changqing.
The moment the fist struck, the void trembled in its wake.
"Um?"
"Is it physical strength again?"
Chen Changqing glanced at it, then immediately unleashed a Heavenly Emperor Divine Fist.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a colossal figure materialized behind Chen Changqing, as if a celestial emperor had descended, its power overwhelming all directions!
"Heaven-Collapsing Style!"
With a single punch, he drew upon the energy of the heavens, his fists seemingly supporting the sky.
The moment the fist was thrown, the space where the eighth floor was located instantly froze, and then collapsed like the sky falling.
Before the burly man's Fist Force could even reach Chen Changqing, it was crushed and shattered by the terrifying power of the Heavenly Emperor Fist.
As the man's figure dissipated, the staircase leading to the ninth floor appeared.
Those outside were all awestruck as they watched the light of the eighth floor dissipate and the light of the ninth floor shine brightly.
"This?"
How is that possible?
"So you've made it through the first eight levels just like that?"
"Not a single obstacle?"
"That's way too fast!"
Just how strong is this kid?
Everyone gasped in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.
Before this, they had all entered the Trial Tower to try their luck, so they naturally knew how formidable the Gatekeeper was.
"Ah?"
"He... he's that strong?"
"You've reached the ninth floor?"
Upon seeing this, Xue Kai from the Divine Fire Sect was completely dumbfounded, his mind buzzing and blank.
He never expected that Chen Changqing, whom he had always looked down upon, would be so powerful.
"Um?"
"You passed the eighth floor so easily?"
"This kid is that powerful?"
The black-robed elder from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect saw this and his face turned ugly.
Keep in mind, he was defeated on the ninth floor.
Now, Chen Changqing has also entered the ninth level of the Trial Tower, and his performance is now on par with Chen Changqing's.
"Snort!"
"So what if this kid is powerful? He's still only at the Spirit Transformation stage."
"The Gatekeeper this ninth level only appears to be at the Spirit Transformation stage, but his true strength is likely beyond the Tribulation Transcendence."
He definitely won't make it through!
The old man in black robes spoke in a deep voice, certain that Chen Changqing would not be able to pass the ninth level.
Meanwhile, at the location of the ninth floor of the Trial Tower.
The Gatekeeper of this level is a Cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Just by standing there, an incredibly powerful aura emanated from his body.
In addition, this Spirit Transformation Cultivator's physical body is also powerful.
After Chen Changqing appeared, he stared directly at the Spirit Transformation Cultivator.
After a moment of silence, the Spirit Transformation Cultivator frowned and made the first move.
"Call out!"
With a single sword strike, the world changed color.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing's expression tightened slightly. He realized that the sword strike unleashed by the Spirit Transformation Cultivator, though seemingly simple, actually conveyed a sense of profound simplicity.
The next moment, Chen Changqing remained still, his right hand slowly reaching towards his waist.
Then, a thought occurred to him.
Upon closer inspection, a long sword suddenly appeared on the right hand that was clenched in a fist—what else could it be but the Immortal Artifact, the Heavenly Thunder Sword?
"Call out!"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Changqing made a drawing motion with the Heavenly Thunder Sword.
"Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!"
A flash of Sword Light streaked across the sky, incredibly fast, bursting forth in an instant.
