Ten Years of Tempering

In front of Zhou Zheng, Dao Lord Xiaomeng, Dao Lord Yan Hu, and Dao Lord Feiqi made Life Oath. After handing over all their treasures, the three of them flew towards the entrance of the corridor without looking back.

Zhou Zheng inspected the three people's treasures and quickly nodded in approval. As expected of peak Dao Lord, their treasures were indeed terrifyingly numerous.

Dao Lord Xiaomeng, in particular, is extremely wealthy, possessing countless pills and Dao Talisman.

"This time, luck also played a part!" Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Zheng had anticipated that he could defeat four people single-handedly, but the unique characteristics of the Space Corridor played a crucial role in forcing the four to have nowhere to escape.

If they could use external force, even if the four of them were no match for him, they would still have a good chance of escaping. Things would never have developed to this point.

"But unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs'!" Zhou Zheng snapped out of his thoughts and put away the Xuan Ling's Wings.

Call!

Zhou Zheng continued flying forward. After flying for a while, suddenly the eyes of nearly thirty Golden Armored Warrior around him lit up.

The next moment, a fierce battle suddenly broke out.

Time passed slowly, Zhou Zheng honed his skills alone in the central Space Corridor. Outside the Chibo Palace, Dao Lord would occasionally arrive, but no one else chose to enter the central corridor.

The reason is simple: the story of Dao Lord Xiaomeng and the other three has already spread.

Four peak Dao Lord joined forces to enter the central passage, but the result was one death and three serious injuries.

Zhou Zheng's strength after using the Universe Treasure was ridiculously high. At the very least, peak Dao Lord and Wine Saint probably couldn't achieve this level.

Meanwhile, the Wine Saint, who was frantically advancing through the right passage, quickly learned of this news.

"One against four, one dead and three severely injured? Heavenly Cripple is dead?" The Wine Saint fell silent. To be honest, he estimated that he really couldn't do that.

These are not four ordinary peak Dao Lord. Dao Lord Xiaomeng and Dao Lord Yan Hu are ranked very high. Tian Can Dao Lord comes from the Dark Kingdom. The Wine Saint knows them well. Although they are not very famous, their strength is indeed very strong and cannot be compared with ordinary peak Dao Lord.

Even a combination like this was completely overwhelmed; their strength is truly terrifying!

"Although Dao Lord Cheng Tian is powerful, he deliberately did not use the Universe Treasure. Instead, he used this passage to hone himself. There are plenty of opportunities to hone oneself, but the opportunity for the Dongming Jade Talisman to appear is only this once. This Dao Lord Cheng Tian is really hard to figure out. What is he thinking?" Dao Lord Sijia, who was following the Wine Saint, was puzzled. He really couldn't understand it.

"Whatever he's thinking, this is good news!" the Wine Saint said in a deep voice, and then he frantically activated the Universe Treasure to quickly crush the surrounding Golden Armored Warrior.

Zhou Zheng's thoughts were indeed unimportant to the Wine Saint; his ultimate goal was always the Dongming Jade Talisman.

The worlds on the same level are interconnected. Zhou Zheng's use of the Space Corridor to hone himself is indeed good news for the Wine Saint. After he snatches the Dongming Jade Talisman on his side, he might still have time to snatch another Dongming Jade Talisman.

Once the Dongming Jade Talisman is in his hands, the Wine Saint is confident that he can protect it.

Even if Zhou Zheng is stronger than him, they are both Universe Treasure. The Wine Saint does not believe that he will be crushed. At most, he will be at a slight disadvantage.

Zhou Zheng paid little attention to the outside world, focusing all his attention on fighting in the Space Corridor.

Fight, fight, fight!

The relentless, high-intensity battle was fortunately sustained because Zhou Zheng had already developed his Heart World and possessed immense inner strength; otherwise, he would never have been able to persevere.

It is precisely this level of combat that truly makes for meaningful training. The Golden Armored Warrior in this Space Corridor do not attack mindlessly; they coordinate perfectly, striving to find and attack Zhou Zheng's weaknesses.

Although prolonged and strenuous fighting and exploitation are exhausting, they are also remarkably effective.

The battle lasted for an unknown period of time. Finally, one day, the mist on Zhou Zheng's sword began to become clearly visible, and it faintly shimmered with a deep, mysterious luster.

"The first stage of the Three Powers Unity has reached its limit!" Zhou Zheng felt his own situation and understood.

The Three Powers Unity Technique has no bottlenecks between each stage. Although not much time has Past since he comprehended the first stage of the method, he has indeed pushed it to the limit of this stage.

"The power has doubled, but if I want to improve further, that's a matter for the second stage!" Zhou Zheng pondered in his heart. The Three Powers Unity Technique is a major hurdle from the first stage to the second stage. Without sufficient talent and opportunity, it will be very difficult to break through.

The Three Powers Unity Technique is not a particularly secretive one. Zhou Zheng estimated that even powerful rulers and Eternal Emperor would ponder it, but how many could truly delve into it deeply?

The first stage may not be difficult, and many people can do it, but it becomes difficult after that.

"Hmm, it's probably impossible to break through to the second stage here. Let's study the Ultimate Space-Time Dao!" Zhou Zheng made up his mind.

The fourth level of the Ultimate Space-Time Dao is already quite high in terms of realm, equivalent to the Holy City Lord Level after successfully Dao Merge the Strongest Dao. Even with Zhou Zheng's previous accumulation, it is not something that can be broken through at will.

It's almost impossible to break through to the fourth level within the Chibo Palace!

However, breakthroughs in the Ultimate Dao often involve breaking through the branches first, and then combining them to form a complete system. Zhou Zheng lacked confidence in truly becoming Four-step Dao Lord in the Chibo Palace, but he was somewhat confident in attempting to break through the branches of the Ultimate Space-Time Dao within the Chibo Palace.

"Hmm, I've been in this corridor for five years. If I still haven't cleared it in another five years, then I'll have to use the Universe Treasure!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself, and then he quickly nodded.

He was willing to spend time honing his skills in this corridor, but not indefinitely.

Ten years was the bottom line that Zhou Zheng had set long ago.

Otherwise, if it drags on even longer, the Dongming Jade Talisman of the Second Layer World might end up in the hands of the Wine Saint.

The Wine Saint, after all, also possesses Universe Treasure, which should not be underestimated!

Zhou Zheng had no interest in the other passages' Dongming Jade Talisman, but he naturally couldn't give up the Dongming Jade Talisman for his passage.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than five years Past since Zhou Zheng pushed the first stage of the Three Powers Unity Technique to its limit.

On this day, Zhou Zheng, with the Xuan Ling's Wings flapping behind him, finally arrived at the end of the first layer of the world. Zhou Zheng stood near the Black Throne, and suddenly a dazzling light fell from above.

Boom!

Zhou Zheng's figure disappeared in an instant.

When Zhou Zheng reappeared, he had arrived inside a huge hall, which was supported by Stone Pillar with many patterns engraved on them.

Swords, knives, mountains, and water all represent a variety of profound and mysterious artistic conceptions.

"This is the Second Layer World!" Zhou Zheng looked up and saw that at the far end of the golden hall, there was still a Black Throne, and on the throne was a black-armored general, with the Dongming Jade Talisman in his hand.

In front of the black-armored general were three Red Armored Divine General, and further ahead were six Golden Armor generals. Clearly, to obtain the Dongming Jade Talisman, one had to defeat these generals.

"Cheng Tian, are you going up by yourself, or should I go with you?" The voice of the Black Bird Xuan Ling rang in Zhou Zheng's mind.

"Let's go together!" Zhou Zheng didn't hesitate much.

The Past decade has been tough enough; now, let's focus on getting the benefits as quickly as possible!
