In the Forbidden Tower, Zhen Chen was cold, reticent, and confident, a person like an unparalleled divine sword with all his sharpness on displayâquite different from the Zhen Chen that Lu Yun knew.
Lu Yun remembered that when they first met, Zhen Chenâs eyes were filled with admiration and curiosity when he looked at him.
Not at all like someone who would remain silent and immediately execute their masterly sword techniques.
Though puzzled in his heart, Lu Yun did not hold back in action. His Divine Power surged, and with a swing of his fist, he shattered the Sword Light.
Then he flickered in his movements, abruptly appearing in front of Zhen Chen.
To temper his own Physical Body and seek the moment of understanding the unity of body, mind, and technique, Lu Yun refrained from using Saber Technique or other methods unless absolutely necessary, wanting only to engage in close combat with his opponents using his Physical Body.
Boom! Boom!
The figures of the two constantly flickered in the starry sky, with massive fists colliding with Sword Light, unleashing powerful shockwaves that caused the surrounding starry sky to tremble ceaselessly.
Zhen Chenâs sword techniques were incredibly fast and dense, stable and orderly, without becoming disordered due to Lu Yunâs close body combat; on the contrary, he fought steadily and solidly.
The Long Sword thrust out continuously, colliding with Lu Yunâs fists, creating a clanging sound like metal striking stone.
After exchanging a dozen or so moves, Lu Yun seized an opportunity and threw a heavy punch that shattered the Long Sword and struck Zhen Chen so hard that he was sent flying backward.
However, he quickly condensed another Long Sword and turned into a Sword Light that rushed at Lu Yun again.
Lu Yun didnât retreat but advanced, becoming a dazzling beam of light that fiercely collided with Zhen Chen, bursting with blinding brightness, and the sound was like thunder exploding, generating waves of energy so intense it made the Cloud Sea in the starry sky roll turbulently.
As Lu Yun and Zhen Chen fought fiercely, Divine Power and sword Qi also clashed non-stop. Terrifying beams of Sword Light tore through the Cloud Sea and ripped the starry sky asunder, while Divine Power surged and swelled, like a Vast Ocean undulating and crushing everything.
After another heavy punch, Zhen Chen was sent flying once more.
He stood firm in the starry sky, his face showing determination, and looked at Lu Yun with a grave expression.
âYour strength is quite good, worthy of me using that move,â Zhen Chen said.
This was the first time Zhen Chen spoke.
He stepped out from the starry sky, and at the same time, another dark golden Long Sword condensed in his hand, bursting forth with almost endless brilliance. In an instant, the entire starry sky changed color, and everything else completely disappeared, leaving only countless whirling sword Qi.
Lu Yunâs expression changed: âThis is the sword domain.â
A realm above Sword Intent, where sword Qi forms its own domainâstepping into this realm is incredibly difficult.
Zhen Chenâs ability to enter this realm at the tenth level of the Heavenly Human Realm already surpassed ninety-nine percent of sword cultivators.
Seeing Zhen Chen use the sword domain, a figure flashed in Lu Yunâs mind instantaneously.
That was Xiao Chen.
âThat guy, he probably stepped into the realm of the sword domain before reaching the Heavenly Human Realm!â
Muttering to himself, Lu Yunâs expression became a bit more solemn.
âHere I come!â Zhen Chen said coldly.
Swish!
The entire sword domain pressed down with force far surpassing the power he had invoked with the âHeavenly Star Slash,â and in an instant, streaks of sword Qi swept across Lu Yunâs body, leaving trails of blood wounds.
If the sword domainâs power were a few degrees stronger, Lu Yun even thought he could immediately enter the profound state of unity of body, mind, and technique.@@novelbin@@
However, Zhen Chenâs sword domain was still only in its initial form, and with Lu Yunâs Physical Body being so abnormal, he ultimately endured the sword domainâs pressure and got close enough to shatter it with a punch.
âTo have grasped the sword domain, no wonder you are the top-ranked Heavenly Pride openly listed under the Mountain River List.â
Lu Yun understood clearly that with Zhen Chenâs control of the sword domain for several months now, his strength was probably not weaker than the last few names above the Mountain River List.
Next, the opponents Lu Yun encountered on the twelfth floor were all around the Third level of the Unity Realm.
Even compared to Zhen Chen wielding the sword domain, they were somewhat inferior.
Lu Yun simply exchanged a dozen or so moves with these people and then quickly ended the battle.
However, the eighth opponent was quite strong, almost reaching the peak of the Third level of the Unity Realm.
Even with Zhen Chen exerting his full power in the sword domain, he could only be considered equal to them.
After fighting back and forth a dozen times with them, Lu Yun finally resolved the battle.
Now, the person Lu Yun was fighting was the last opponent on the twelfth floor.
This person was haughty in demeanor, and upon appearing, he said coldly, âJust at the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm, I donât know how you made it here, but it doesnât matter because it wonât be long before I blast you out of the Forbidden Tower!â
Boom!
Suddenly, Lu Yunâs body shot forward like an arrow, splitting the sky, turning into a bolt of lightning that rushed in front of his opponent and smashed down with a punch. His Divine Power erupted like a volcano, obliterating his opponent with an absolutely domineering presence.
This was definitely the fastest Lu Yun had defeated an opponent since entering the tenth floor.
What can I say? He asked for it.
Before entering the thirteenth floor, the same voice rang out, and without any hesitation, Lu Yun chose to hide.
â¦
Outside the Forbidden Tower, more and more people were gathering.
The many geniuses watched the orb of light on the portal with puzzled expressions.
Nearly two hours had passed since Lu Yun had gone through the tenth floor, but there was still silence there.
âHas Lu Yun gotten into a tough fight?â
âIt should be so, after all, he has consecutively passed so many levels, and considering the physical and mental toll from the dozens of opponents, he probably wonât be able to get through this eleventh floor.â
