Chapter 272: From Reality to Illusion
This is a very ordinary world, with mountains and lakes that are no different from those in the real world. The only difference is the hundreds of towering Water Fire Giant Dragons swirling in the Void. The moment Sun Zhe saw these hundreds of Water Fire Giant Dragons, he understood their origin.
These hundreds of imposing Water Fire Giant Dragons were clearly transformed from the ocean and volcanoes in the Water and Fire World. In other words, these hundreds of giant dragons represented the combined power of the first and second worlds. Breaking through a Water Dragon and a Fire Dragon had been incredibly difficult for Sun Zhe, and now, facing these hundreds of giant dragons, he had no power to resist!
Suddenly, a bizarre scene appeared in this world: Sun Zhe was running forward frantically while cursing loudly, and the hundreds of Water Fire Giant Dragons were madly chasing him, determined to swallow him whole. The distance between them remained constant.
Hearing Sun Zhe's sudden outburst of profanity, the two phantoms in the void couldn't help but be taken aback, then simultaneously revealed smiles.
"Haha... This guy really lives up to your expectations; even his temper is just like yours..." The man on the left said with a hint of amusement as he teased his companion.
Upon hearing this, the teased Hulking Man showed no signs of embarrassment. Looking at the scene in the Third Turn world, he exclaimed, "Anyone being targeted by hundreds of Water Dragons comparable to Emperor-Level Experts wouldn't have it easy. Moreover, this kid hasn't even crossed into Emperor Level yet; this is going to be tough for him. However, every calamity in the Nine Reincarnation Tower is different; even I didn't expect such a scene in the Third Turn."
"Indeed. But did you notice? That knife in his hand seems quite extraordinary; it appears to be an Ancient Divine Weapon?"
"With your vision, do you really think you can appreciate such things?" The Hulking Man raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of amusement.
However, the tall man beside him paid no attention to this and kept his gaze fixed on the sprinting Sun Zhe, murmuring to himself, "It's not just the Divine Weapon in his hand; can't you see there's a trace of Pangu Fortune on him? Although it's very faint now, it can still be vaguely perceived!"
"Hmm?" At this point, the Hulking Man couldn't help but frown.
"Years ago, that old fellow from Daoism selected a hundred talented individuals among humanity. He was ruthless enough to split half of his own Pangu essence into a hundred parts and give them to these hundred geniuses' bodies before allowing them to reincarnate. If I'm not mistaken, this guy is probably one of them..."
"Yes. If he can cross this Third Turn and survive a Reincarnation, when he enters the fourth turn where reality and illusion transform, some clues will become apparent. Of course, if you voluntarily expend your essence to help him advance beyond the seventh turn, then at that time every turn will be a calamity where reality and illusion coexist, and his origins will become clearer." At this point, the Hulking Man couldn't help but squint his eyes and reveal a slight smile.
Hearing this, the man beside him rolled his eyes helplessly. The essence of a Cultivator is as important as life itself; it almost represents a person's lifespan. Especially at their level, losing even a little would require countless years to replenish; how could he waste it so easily?
"Thunderous Roar..."
Just as the two were conversing, below them a battle had already begun. The frantic Sun Zhe suddenly came to a halt, turned around with a slash of his blade, and fierce Sword Qi immediately erupted from the Ancient Bell Blade. It tore through the void and struck a Water Dragon that was caught off guard behind him. The Ancient Divine Weapon, Ancient Bell Blade, once again demonstrated its terrifying power as the massive Water Dragon was directly sliced into two segments by this Black Blade Aura.
At this moment, three giant dragons charged in from behind the Water Dragon: two Water Dragons and one Fire Dragon, as if they were merging with the Water Dragon, roaring as they reached for Sun Zhe. At their level, even though they were manifestations of spiritual energy, they possessed intelligence far superior to ordinary beasts. The six massive claws split into three directions, reaching down towards Sun Zhe, completely blocking all his escape routes.
However, Sun Zhe had no intention of fleeing. He knew that in this world, there was nowhere for him to escape. No matter how fast he was, he could not evade the pursuit of hundreds of giant dragons. His only chance was to eliminate these dragons, which undoubtedly forced him to fight desperately!
"Slaughter!" "Slaughtering Ground!"
A cold voice escaped from Sun Zhe's lips, and his black eyes seemed devoid of any emotion. He wielded the Black Divine Blade, drawing mysterious and bizarre arcs in the air. Terrifying energy descended upon the land, and destructive black power surged forth, unleashing a violent torrent from the ground.
The entire space darkened instantly as the earth trembled. The terrifying energy enveloped not only the three giant dragons in front of Sun Zhe but also wrapped around dozens of nearby dragons. The destructive energy stirred up a devastating storm; the two Ancient Blade Techniques unleashed by the Ancient Divine Blade were astonishingly powerful, and those dozens of Water Fire Giant Dragons were utterly crushed.
"Damn it, this time I really have to fight for my life!"
After unleashing two major Ancient Blade Techniques, a hint of pallor appeared on Sun Zhe's face. But seeing the Water Fire Giant Dragons continue to charge and roar towards him, a glint of madness flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Beast Soul on his arms surged out and transformed into two black shadows that darted into his body in an instant. The Silver-Gray Armor covered him entirely, and his aura skyrocketed. His cultivation level, originally at Fifth Stage Late, rapidly ascended to Fifth Stage Pinnacle.
Although Sun Zhe had acquired the cultivation method of the War Clan Totem, his training time was still too short. The enhancement effect of the Beast Soul's spiritual power lagged far behind his own cultivation speed. Nevertheless, even so, the peak aura surrounding him was terrifyingly powerful. Coupled with the Ancient Divine Blade in his hand, this was why Sun Zhe dared to confront these Water Fire Giant Dragons that were comparable to Emperor-Level Experts.
The Purple Thunder Domain perfectly enveloped him as he wielded the Black Long Knife. In a flash, Sun Zhe charged directly towards the countless giant dragons. With all his strength, he swung down his Long Sword; the eight-foot-long Ancient Bell Blade transformed into a ferocious black dragon that surged forward.
The Ancient Blade Spirit once again displayed its terrifying might; it had once dared to devour Thunder Robbery. Although these hundreds of Water Fire Giant Dragons were imposing, they did not instill fear in it at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent energy exploded within the Dragon Horde; countless dragons suffered various injuries. Some of those at the forefront were directly obliterated by this terrifying Sword Qi. At the same time, numerous raging water columns and fireballs rained down on Sun Zhe. The Purple Thunder Domain could only withstand for a moment before shattering piece by piece, and Sun Zhe's body was drenched in crimson blood—this was due to his formidable Thunder Body.
"Kill!"
After merging with the Beast Soul, Sun Zhe's eyes became eerie and enchanting; within those wicked eyes glinted a ruthless coldness. Ignoring his bodily injuries, he leaped onto one giant dragon's back. The black blade glimmered fiercely as he plunged it downward with great force, creating a massive hole in its body with destructive power.
If he allowed these giant dragons to attack from a distance, even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough for them to kill him. The only way was close combat; these Water Fire Giant Dragons were enormous and could not all attack him simultaneously during melee combat. This was his opportunity and his only lifeline!
The battle continued fiercely as crimson blood rained down from the Void. This blood did not come from the Water Fire Giant Dragons; their bodies were entirely composed of energy and had no blood whatsoever. Instead, this blood flowed from Sun Zhe himself. Unbeknownst to him, his body had become completely enveloped in blood, resembling a figure made entirely of blood.
"Third Style——Demon Slayer!"
Standing precariously in the half Void, with dull gray eyes devoid of any light, a hoarse voice emerged from Sun Zhe, carrying an endless mystery akin to the sound of the earth.
In the blink of an eye, an infinite whirlwind swept through the world, and a phantom of an Ancient Deity suddenly appeared in the Void. Its overwhelming divine power spread throughout the entire world, while a Black Giant Blade shot out explosively from its body. The massive figure fell straight down, yet the devastating strike continued unabated.
With a single slash, all existence was obliterated, including deities. The remaining hundreds of Flame Dragons engulfed in flames roared and turned to ashes, while dozens of surrounding Water Dragons transformed into vapor. Everything before them fell into annihilation, leaving nothing behind, and Sun Zhe's body plummeted downward.
"I didn't expect him to achieve enlightenment and break through at this moment; this guy is truly lucky... However, this Ancient Blade Technique is extraordinary; it must have originated from the Blade Domain..."
Seeing this scene unfold, Ling Kong, a tall man standing nearby, displayed a hint of shock in his eyes as he whispered softly.
"Haha... I knew this kid would definitely survive this calamity. Look, the Nine Reincarnation Tower has already begun its transformation from solid to ethereal. We can't stay here any longer; let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, their figures instantly vanished into the Void, and the Nine Reincarnation Tower plunged into chaos. In the midst of this hazy confusion, the unconscious Sun Zhe was suddenly awakened by a voice.
