Chapter 1038 - 117-118: Palm Path Insight, Ascension Tower Rankings (Double - s)
The sword light flows like water.
The sword momentum rushes forth like a roaring waterfall.
Five incomplete Tower Guardians are entirely submerged by this overwhelming sword momentum.
Then.
Appropriate rewards appear.
Zhongshan Kongzhou looks at the light orb before him and instantly immerses his Divine Sense within it.
Rumble!!
The terrifying Sword Intent crashes into his mind, involuntarily causing his heart and soul to immerse themselves in it.
Moments later.
The Sword Intent fades away.
Zhongshan Kongzhou opens his tightly shut eyes, intimidating Sword Intent radiating from his pupils before gradually being restrained.
"Soon!"
"Just give me a little more time, and I will definitely comprehend this Divine Skill to the last step, entering the Law stage!"
Originally, under normal circumstances, it would take him at least centuries to understand the Laws, and the upper limit was indeterminate.
Divine Skills are profound.
Laws are mysterious.
Truly reaching the end of Divine Skills and then mastering the Laws is not easy.
However.
Upon entering the Ascension Tower, he received numerous rewards, some of which were Sword Dao imprints left by strong predecessors.
After briefly digesting these imprints, his Sword Dao Divine Ability insight was elevated to an extremely high state.
With a little more time.
Zhongshan Kongzhou is confident he can directly enter the Law level.
Just then.
The void twists and trembles.
Six God Realm Tenth Layer Tower Guardians have appeared.
In less than a breath.
Six Tower Guardians launched their offensive.
The void shatters.
The overwhelming momentum is irresistible.
His first instinct is to retreat.
Not because he cannot fight back, but because from the first layer of the Ascension Tower to now, he has been significantly depleted.
At his peak, Zhongshan Kongzhou could confidently kill these six God Realm Tenth Layer Tower Guardians.
The problem is.
Upon reaching here, his strength is only retained to thirty percent.
Trying to rely on that thirty percent foundation to withstand six God Realm Tenth Layer Guardians is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Retreat.
Is the most suitable approach.
Moreover.
Zhongshan Kongzhou is not worried that retreating this time will cause him to lose qualification to enter the Divine Forge Platform.
He can’t ascend.
Among the cultivators entering this Heavenly Domain, there may not be many who can ascend.
This.
Zhongshan Kongzhou is quite confident.
Thus.
Seeing the offensive from the six Tower Guardians approaching, he directly activates the mark on his hand, disappearing into the void.
As Zhongshan Kongzhou leaves the Ascension Tower, in another void.
A fierce battle.
Has already erupted.
Zhongshan Peng’s entire body bursts with energy, his muscles forming like vigorous dragons. Divine Power and the strength of Flesh combine, unleashing earth-shattering, formidable might.
And his opponents are five God Realm Tenth Layer Tower Guardians.
Boom!
Boom!!
No flashy moves, no glamorous Divine Power.
What exists.
Are only flesh-hitting collisions.
"I didn’t expect to find a cultivator with strong flesh outside, yet fulfilled my wish inside the Ascension Tower!"
Zhongshan Peng’s expression is solemn.
He doesn’t know if the Tower Guardians appearing in the Ascension Tower are evaluated based on each cultivator’s advantages, or if they are fixed settings.
Anyhow, since entering the Ascension Tower, every Tower Guardian he has encountered possesses a certain advantage in flesh.
But throughout the first ninety levels.
Zhongshan Peng could still suppress the Tower Guardians in terms of flesh.
However, once he entered beyond the ninety levels, the flesh strength of the Tower Guardians was not much weaker than his, and the further he advanced, the flesh attribute would certainly improve.
Until now.
The five God Realm Tenth Layer Tower Guardians were exerting immense pressure on him.
But.
Pressure leads to motivation.
"Kill!"
His fists strike with heavenly wonders.
Zhongshan Peng throws his entire force into a punch, directly shattering a Tower Guardian’s arm, yet the other four Guardians’ attacks descend upon him.
Rumble!!
Flesh cracks.
But under the diffusion of Divine Power, the cracked flesh quickly recovers.
He does not step back, proceeding toward the Guardian whose arm he broke.
Punch after punch!
Each punch contains the Supreme Force to break mountains and peaks.
At the beginning, the Guardian managed to barely resist, but later, could only passively take hits.
Despite its tough flesh, it cannot endure the relentless assault.
When another strike lands, the Guardian becomes minced meat.
"The first one!"
Zhongshan Peng’s chest heaves intensely, Divine Power continuously healing the injuries on his flesh.
Meanwhile.
He takes a bottle of Elixir from his storage ring, swallows it, forcefully replenishing his depletion, and moves to strike another Guardian.
Noteworthy is.
After entering the Ascension Tower, no external forces can be borrowed, except for treasures obtained within the tower.
The Elixir he just consumed is one of the rewards received during tower ascension.
——
Boom!!
After a long time, another Guardian is blasted.
But as a cost, Zhongshan Peng himself is considerably injured; despite the support of Elixirs, he hasn’t recovered much in that moment.
Seeing the remaining three half-beaten Guardians, his heart sinks.
In his current state.
Even if he truly fights to death, it might not resolve the remaining three Guardians.
Even if he does succeed, the cost incurred likely cannot be settled just with Elixirs.
Thus.
In a brief instant.
Zhongshan Peng makes a decisive choice.
Retreat!
Divine Sense descends.
