Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 507 Nine Thousand
Beyond the remnants of heaven and earth, divine might reigns.

Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes and raised his head.

The three black suns still held a strange pressure in the sky, as if they were watching over us like gods.

However, after many days of practice, things have changed.

Scanning his surroundings, his eyes emitted a faint light, and he could actually see through the pure black beam of light.

The starlight currents flowing beneath the skin at high speed, and the sparks formed by the collision of the black beam of light with the body have dissipated.

The black light fell on the skin's surface; some of its power was absorbed, while the rest was silently reflected away.

"Ok?"

Zhou Leng activated the Taiqing Sea Armor and immediately felt that the protective power of the new Taiqing Sea Armor had increased by a small step.

Although they haven't yet reached the stage of transforming the illusory into the real, their power levels are very close.

Upon closer inspection, one can see tiny specks of starlight shimmering within the swirling seawater on her chest.

"Could it be that the sea in the Taiqing Sea Robe is also a star sea? Is the true cultivation method of the Ancient River Sect martial arts the one that combines the Undying Star Body, the power of the Zhou Tian Stars, and the true energy of the starry sky?"

Zhou Leng recalled the power of Guan Canglong, Qu Xinghan, and Shen Yunxian, and vaguely understood the biggest gap between himself and them.

He concealed his Taiqing Sea Robe and stepped into the darker black mist.

I stepped into the nine thousand steps again.

Boom boom boom...

Standing in it, the world suddenly changes.

There was no more black fog; in its place was a vast expanse of land and blue sky.

Above the blue sky, countless meteorites fell rapidly, trailing fiery tails and drawing black smoke, tearing through the sky and resounding in all directions.

After the meteorites scattered across the sky, a gigantic human figure faintly emerged, seemingly larger than the entire planet.

Zhou Leng felt like an ant on a plate, looking up at humans holding chopsticks.

The figure was blurry and extremely faint.

Behind him, a large ring composed of countless broken asteroids was exceptionally clear, magnificent, and enormous, as if it could surround the planet.

Divine Ring.

The divine ring seemed to be rotating at an extremely slow speed, crushing the starry sky and emitting a huge roar.

Beneath the divine halo and the spirits, meteorites flew wildly, filling the blue sky.

Meteorites come in all shapes and sizes; the smallest is as big as a round table.

A nearby meteorite, about the size of a round table, suddenly changed direction and came hurtling towards us.

Zhou Leng tried to move to the side to avoid it, but found that his body was no longer under his control.

It moved forward slowly with its feet, but could not do any other movements.

boom!
A meteorite crashed into us.

The powerful impact tore through the body, entered the internal organs, and impacted the entire body.

At the same time, the meteorite transformed from solid to ethereal, entering the world of will and colliding with the martial will.

thump...

The Mountain of Will trembled violently and almost flew off.

Fortunately, the Mountain of Willpower had absorbed the power of many treasures through long-term cultivation and could barely withstand the attack.

Zhou Leng's body jerked backward, and blood gushed from his throat.

But in the next instant, he forcibly shut his mouth, and the blood flowed back into his body.

Looking down, the clothes were not torn at all, but the flesh underneath was rotten and even the internal organs inside were torn open.

Strands of flesh and blood emerged, like surgical sutures, quickly connecting the flesh and blood. In less than three seconds, all the wounds were forcibly sealed together by a powerful force.

After seven steps, the serious injury turned into a minor injury, and the minor injury was completely healed.

After ten steps, the injury was basically under control, with only a few areas requiring slow recovery.

The moment the eleventh step was taken, the second meteorite, the size of a round table, crashed down.

boom!
Zhou Leng's chest and abdomen were torn open, his face was covered in blood, his vision went black, his body fell heavily backward, his ears rang, and his head was spinning.

There are stars in my eyes.

Now he can't even control his true energy, so he can't fully activate the Taiqing Sea Robe to protect his whole body.

This power is equivalent to a life-or-death strike from an ordinary Great Innate Realm expert.

My body moved forward involuntarily. After barely recovering, I took another ten steps, when a new meteorite came crashing down on me.

The meteorite, carrying both physical and mental attack power, struck him for the third time.

Zhou Leng forced himself to endure it, but his reaction was exactly the same as at the beginning: dizziness, headache, and severe pain all over his body.

True Qi can only move in the same way as usual, and is in its weakest stage.

Unable to use the Undying Star Body and Star Phoenix Resurrection Technique, only passive healing can be obtained.

The body is controlled by an invisible force, and can only keep moving forward.

At first, Zhou Leng gritted his teeth and endured it.

After walking one hundred and one steps, a meteorite twice the size of a round table came hurtling towards them.

Zhou Leng cursed inwardly before being knocked unconscious by an even larger meteorite, his body arching backward and even bending backward.

When I woke up feeling dizzy, before I could even feel my body, a second meteorite, twice the size of a round table, crashed down.

boom!
Before falling into a coma, Zhou Leng had only one last thought.

I'm never coming back...

Zhou Leng's body continued to move uncontrollably forward. Just as he regained consciousness, a meteorite struck him, causing him to lose consciousness again. He opened his eyes again, only to be struck again and lose consciousness once more...

After walking for 201 steps, his entire body was covered in blood and flesh that could no longer be repaired quickly.

However, the powerful force persisted, forcibly stitching the rotten flesh back together.

When Zhou Leng opened his eyes for the last time, he only saw a room-sized, fiery red shadow crash down before he completely lost consciousness.

boom!
The massive meteorite slammed Zhou Leng into a huge crater, where flames burned and black smoke billowed.

He lay unconscious at the bottom of the pit.

An invisible force lifted Zhou Leng and threw him back into the purple mist eight thousand steps away.

Snapped.

Zhou Leng collapsed to the ground like a dead pig. With the suppression gone, the power of the Star Phoenix Resurrection Technique was activated with a roar.

Within the spine, thousands of silver and fire-like feathers swayed, and surging power flowed from the spine into the entire body, rapidly healing it.

In ten seconds, all the flesh and blood in the body reattached.

In twenty seconds, all purely physical wounds healed.

Thirty seconds later, it appeared to be healed, but the subtle internal processes were still slowly healing, and the tremors of the Mountain of Will still needed to subside.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes.

Ahead, a purplish-black mist filled the air.

All around, the familiar concentration of purple mist, eight thousand steps away.

The three black suns that once filled the sky are gone.

Looking at his whole body, his clothes were intact, but his body was obviously tired and sore, as if he had gone through a long and arduous battle.

It was more tiring than participating in a full-day battle to capture and defend Tiger Hill Fortress.

I closed my eyes and sensed it; sure enough, my body had suffered extremely serious trauma, and many parts of it have not yet fully recovered.

The same goes for my martial arts will; it still feels a bit uncomfortable, but overall there aren't any major problems.

"but……"

Zhou Leng discovered that his Mountain of Will and his physical body seemed to have increased their upper limits slightly.

Although it's subtle, it is indeed an enhancement.

In particular, the aura of stellar true energy within his body has noticeably increased, and his sensitivity to stellar true energy has also slightly improved.

Zhou Leng originally wanted to turn around and leave, but hesitated for a moment when he thought about how he could improve his advanced power.

try again.

They drink water from Mammoth Lake, eat medicinal fruits, eat meat, eat elixirs, eat ancient tree fossils, and eat insect juice...

After indulging in a feast, they barged in again.

At step 201, a large meteorite crashed down, and Zhou Leng's vision went black as he lost consciousness again.

In the crater created by the meteorite, Zhou Leng's right little finger twitched slightly, then remained motionless.

Waking up once again outside the Nine Thousand Steps Purple Mist, Zhou Leng silently recalled the entire process.

Shortly after, we went inside.

With a final roar, Zhou Leng flew out again and landed on the ground.

Each time they entered, each time they flew out, the intervals between them grew longer and longer.

Beneath the broken bones of the sky.

A massive city wall surrounds the colossal bone that resembles a pillar reaching to the heavens.

The city wall is constructed of bluish-gray metal, standing 100 meters high and 20 meters wide, resembling a giant bone bracelet.

Outside the city walls lies a town.

In the town center, hundreds of portals of all sizes stood upright, their frames shimmering with a ghostly blue light.

Within the town, squads of warriors either entered the portal fully armed or emerged covered in blood.

Huge, bluish-gray metallic houses are scattered everywhere.

The warriors here mostly resemble beings from the Ten Realms in appearance, but the difference is that a part of their bodies is covered by white bone plates, as if that part of their body has also become entirely ossified.

Unlike ordinary beings from the Ten Realms, every warrior here has a dense, blood-red light flashing in their eyes.

They exuded an aura of madness.

Many soldiers remained silent, but the madness in their eyes spread like wildfire.

A human walks through the center of the town toward the city gate in the middle of the city wall.

His skull was completely boned, as if he were wearing a helmet of bones.

The city gate resembled a teleportation portal; within its massive opening, a ghostly blue light slowly swirled, its destination unknown.

The human walked into the teleportation gate.

The world distorted, light and shadow shifted, and after a long time, he appeared at the entrance of a huge hall.

On both sides of the hall, there were rows of mangled corpses.

There are humans, monsters, demons, and all sorts of strange creatures, like a funeral home on public display.

At the deepest part of the hall, on a crimson throne, sat a human figure, about three meters tall, clad in bone armor.

His entire body was covered in grayish-white bones, interwoven into thick armor that protected him.

A "T"-shaped gap is formed in the center of the helmet.

He raised his head and looked at the person who had come.

"Reporting to my lord, the Great Battlefield has opened, and a human martial artist has entered the Final Training Ground."

"Oh?"

The person on the throne raised his right hand, which was covered in spikes, and with a slight movement, a huge screen of light appeared in front of him.

The perspective of the light screen is as if it is located above the broken bones of a great battlefield, looking down in all directions.

A thick purple mist surrounded the area where the Sky Bone Warriors lived.

The thick purple mist originally obscured the view, but on the light screen, everyone in the purple mist was clearly visible.

The two people in the palace did not look at Zhou Leng, who was located in the final training ground, but looked elsewhere first.

Humans, demons, dragons, and other races either travel within or outside the purple mist.

Only a portion of the creatures remained in the camp further away outside the Black Iron Forest.

The person on the throne slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Leng in the Final Refinement Ground.

He watched as Zhou Leng fainted at step 201 and flew out of the final training ground.

Then, the screen flashed, showing Zhou Leng on the Great Battlefield. Then, the screen played the scene at 100 times the normal speed, centered on Zhou Leng.

Before long, Zhou Leng in the light screen arrived outside the purple mist and walked inside, where everything that Zhou Leng encountered was played out truthfully.

Finally, the timeline on the light screen moved to the present.

Zhou Leng lay on the ground, fast asleep.
