Zong Shou already knew this black mist like the back of his hand.
He traveled within and in just a few breaths he was 20 miles away from the Abyss Gate.
The moment he entered this place, he felt like his eyes were burning.
That day there was a change in his eyes and he felt like that gate was riddled with holes, that he was about to break through.
He could finally get what he wished for, to see what was behind this barrier.
However, at the final moment, Jueyan interrupted him and knocked him out with a finger.
When he came to his senses, the barrier was totally healed up. Not only were the cracks sealed shut, it seemed to have become even firmer.
This resulted in the Blood Spirit Curse Power in his body to not only not be vented out, but accumulated much more instead.
The barrier was like a giant dam, causing all the Vital Energy and Curse Power to be blocked behind him.
The more it blocked, the more accumulated.
The only thing that could lessen this pain was to merge the four bloodlines in his body.
However, each time he entered the depths of the black mist, that swelling and pulling pain would arise.
He didn’t worry about it. The moment he reached this place, he saw Jueyan standing quietly with his eyes open, looking over curiously.
“How punctual! However, today is the last day, are you prepared?”
Zong Shou didn’t say a single word, stepping into the flames.
This time, he didn’t use his monster body. With each step, a black lotus flame would appear under his feet.
Moments later, it would disappear but it prevented the Sky Burning Flame from getting close to his body.
He didn’t use much strength and crossed 10 miles.
At this moment, each action, each raise of his hand and foot contained the Dao within.
His energy was really innate and focused, it seemed to be there but at the same time it was as if it didn’t exist, continuously fluctuating.
His body was really harmonious, totally compatible with that Return to One Technique.
His Spirit Realm Sword Intent was already merged into his actions.
It wasn’t like a few days ago when his aura covered the entire sky.
His aura was still really sharp, even sharper than before. He was unobstructed, managing to reach 1,000 feet in front of Jueyan.
Jueyan had a look of praise in his eyes. He could feel that the situation now was different from what happened in the past few days.
“Interesting!”
A few days ago, he would only attack when Zong Shou was 100 feet in front of him.
However, at this moment, with a thought, numerous wheels appeared 1,000 feet away from him.
They were all of different sizes and varying strengths. However, they were able to seal down each and every part of the space 1,000 feet around.
They could smash anything that appeared in this space into pieces!
However, this didn’t include Zong Shou. He barged 50 feet in before he slashed out.
The wheels in front of him were smashed with a sword. Sword Intent Returned to One, it was firm and didn’t move, which prevented those wheels from borrowing its strength.
A few ordinary looking swords held immense power and inflicted extreme violence.
Zong Shou didn’t dare to waste any time at all and came within 100 feet of Jueyan.
The light of the Illusionary Heart Mirror stared down at this person. Zong Shou waved his sword and used the Three Thousand Star Falling!
The Lightning Wings and Life and Death Wings opened at the same time and spread out 70,000 feet across.
A Seven-Colored Lotus Platform appeared under him and 9 Giant Tails rose into the air.
It was really sudden and the aura instantly went from innate to really abundant and showy!
However, it still surrounded Zong Shou. A river flowed to many areas but it only came from one source!
Zong Shou was so close but Jueyan didn’t panic, he laughed coldly instead. He formed a seal on his chest, the Giant Wheel which covered 100 feet appeared in front of him.
Above the wheel were numerous gold and silver runes, like numerous Daos and numerous laws were merged into it.
However, the wheel itself only represented the Cycle Dao!
A few days ago, Zong Shou had charged to this place.
However, only today was he able to force him to solemnly show the foundations of his technique.
Keng!
The Sword Light and the Wheel clashed, energy waves spread out, forcing the black mist outward.
100 miles of land turned to dust and sand blew everywhere. Dirt and stone were all turned into true dust.
The Giant Wheel spun continuously as the blood-colored Sword Light gathered on one point. The two of them were actually at a standstill.
Zong Shou focused only on the sword tip.
Break! Break for me!
Each bit of strength and energy within his body was being squeezed out. Each bit of Sword Power was being used to its extreme.
It proceeded forward, not returning unless it broke! It was both firm and unblockable.
The numerous wheels suddenly gathered and struck from behind.
Zong Shou didn’t turn his head, the Ten Extreme Imperial Dao Destruction Sword Formation started to activate and protect its Master on its own.
1,000 feet around was covered in Sword Energy, blocking the storm like blade wheels.
Zong Shou didn’t worry at all, the Illusionary Heart Mirror was facing the Abyss Gate.
He continued to increase his strength, to squeeze out all the potential within his body.
However, at that moment the pain in his eyes grew even more intense.
It was like the blood was actually boiling. The more fighting spirit he had, the gate would be even more charged by the Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Power.
“Kacha” there was a crisp crack as suddenly a chip appeared on the wheel.
Starting from that, the entire wheel started to show signs of collapsing.
“You are prepared to use strength to overwhelm me? You are indeed smart…”
Zong Shou didn’t worry. After all, the Jueyan in front of him was formed by a drop of Essence Blood. The power he contained was limited and after 10 days of intense fighting, much of his strength must have been used up.
He only managed to sense such a situation yesterday.
This was why he used such a strategy to force Jueyan to fight with him while consuming True Qi.
At this moment, he would do anything to help his mother escape from Death Jail.
The Sword Energy continued to charge forward. There was actually the roar of the Absolute Beginning Dragon.
The 100-foot wheel was unable to stop the collapsing momentum and started to break apart.
Jueyan’s expression didn’t change. The seal his hand changed and another wheel formed.
The Cycle Wheel Technique could form both forward and backward spinning wheels. Although it collapsed, this backward spinning wheel could still return to its original form.
At the start, it was only 30 feet but instantly it recovered to 80 feet.
The dissipating energy started to flow back and recover.
The True Qi and Soul Power were swiftly going from weak to abundant.
The Buddhist Faction had the Nirvana but his Cycle of Reincarnation Technique wasn’t any weaker!
Which was why it was extremely tough for anyone to try to break this wheel!
However, he felt the Vital Energy in his body shake and the source came from this junior in front of him.
He looked over in shock, only to see Zong Shou was expressionless.
Those eyes opened once more. They were red like blood and numerous talismans were jumping about.
Zong Shou didn’t sense anything and slashed out with the sword.
He actually used the Sword Intent to the extreme. Sword Light slashed through the sky and the 80-foot wheel broke from the sound.
Jueyan was totally shocked and felt that Zong Shou had merged into one with Heaven and Earth.
It was like a Sword God had descended on the earth and each jump of the Sword Light contained the Heaven Dao in it.
Connection with the Heavens?
Jueyan’s eyes constricted and he understood something. This was an extremely sincere state, with extreme fighting intent he entered an enlightenment state?
He looked at Zong Shou’s eyes and as expected they were changing. Within the Bloodline Legacy and talismans that he wasn’t familiar with, there were a few other different Dao mysteries.
He squinted and formed another wheel in front of his body.
It was still smashed by that Blood Sword in one strike! Extremely clean and swift with no hesitation at all.
Jueyan’s lips curled coldly and he continued.
He formed another but it was broken once more!
Where that Sword Light landed, it felt like an unblockable sword of the Gods, so sharp that one couldn’t take it head-on.
A consecutive 10 times, destroying a final 100-foot wide wheel.
Afterward, Zong Shou’s sword swept right toward Jueyan’s head.
Jueyan frowned and finally took a step back.
He looked at his feet with a complicated expression.
He actually lost…
Zong Shou had stepped into the Abyss Gate.
At that moment, his extremely focused mind was finally distracted.
At the same time, he backed out of that enlightenment state.
He didn’t feel any regret. On the contrary, his face was filled with joy that came from the bottom of his heart.
He won!
10 days of time, he went all out and wracked his brain, finally managing to walk into this Abyss Gate!
His expression turned serious as he looked coldly toward Jueyan.
He did win but would this Extreme Flame Saint Venerable keep his promise?
Even his life and death was in his hands much less this small promise?
Such a feeling was really unbearable.
His desire to reach the pinnacle of the Sword Path became even stronger.
As he was too worried, he forgot all about the pain in his eyes as well as the beating of his heart which was getting more and more intense.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of talismans in his blood eyes were slowly merging into one.
At that moment, all the black mist, all the Death Power was burning and slowly dissipating.
Jueyan didn’t worry about that, he was looking into Zong Shou’s eyes the whole time. He impassively nodded his head.
“You won today…”
Zong Shou relaxed but then he heard Jueyan’s mocking laugh.
“However, I am going against my own words! I take back what I said previously.”
His gaze was filled with disdain like he was saying that even if he didn’t keep his promise, what was a small ant like you going to do?
Zong Shou’s brain instantly exploded and the green veins on his forehead popped up.
His eyes opened wide and then constricted. Those talismans were merging into one at an astonishing rate.
His eyes were totally red like blood. On closer inspection, there were two Black and White Hole whirlpools spinning within.
It was both devilish and extremely beautiful.
Jueyan instantly sensed it and felt that the Nether Jail World was shaking.
His mind was also becoming blurry, as if he had fallen into a world full of flames.
He was shocked. Looking at the situation, his eyes were about to change.
He was just a step away from completion!
However, how did he have such an ability, even before it was completed? Such that his End Realm Spiritual Sense nearly fell into an irrecoverable illusion?
He seemed to feel something in his body and a streak of light shot over and merged with his body.
With a finger, it was still that light and powerless strike as he dotted Zong Shou’s brow and made him go unconscious once more.
He carried this teen in his hands. He couldn’t help but shake his head. Afterward, he felt a penetrating gaze land on him.
