Chapter 121: Unstoppable Force, the Thirty-Sixth Floor

"Very good. It seems your strength is stronger than I imagined."

The space seemed to solidify, and a terrifying pressure erupted.

Zhou Chen's breath hitched slightly; with a solemn expression, he looked up.

The man in golden armor stood before him, clad in gilded battle armor, holding an ancient long spear, and scanning him coldly.

The next moment.

The man in golden armor took a step forward, and the entire space seemed to cave in under his foot.

Without any fancy tricks, he thrust his spear out plainly.

A point of cold light arrived first!

"Burning Flame Sky-Splitting Spear!"

In an instant, a blinding golden light erupted from the spear tip, stabbing directly at Zhou Chen's chest!

Before the spear radiance arrived, the terrifying Spear Intent already made Zhou Chen feel a faint stinging pain.

Concept of the Spear!

Domain of the Spear!

This was the Concept and Domain exclusive to the Saint Realm, with power far exceeding the Nascent Soul level!

Zhou Chen's pupils constricted, and his heart pounded wildly.

Daring not to hold anything back, the chaos dao infant in his Sea of Consciousness shimmered, and a large crater exploded beneath his feet!

Taiyi Golden Light Step!

Leaving a nearly solid afterimage in his original spot, Zhou Chen's true body had already shifted dozens of zhang away.

That golden spear radiance grazed his afterimage and struck the ground heavily, erupting with a deafening roar that caused the entire space to tremble violently!

"Oh? You actually dodged it again?"

A trace of surprise appeared in the eyes of the man in golden armor again; he had clearly underestimated Zhou Chen's speed.

It instantly transformed into even more surging Battle Intent.

The man in golden armor spun his spear, and the Spiritual Qi in the entire space was stirred and drawn in by him.

"Vortex Sea Binding!"

Zhou Chen immediately felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire, his speed sharply reduced.

The man in golden armor seized the opportunity to close in, his spear turning into a sky full of cold stars, each strike precisely locking onto Zhou Chen's vital points, sealing off all room for evasion!

"Undying Golden Body, break!"

Zhou Chen stopped blindly evading, and his body suddenly surged in size.

The Spiritual Qi of the chaos dao infant within his body circulated, and an ancient Chaos pressure suddenly erupted!

Bang!

The spear shadow of the man in golden armor faltered for an instant!

Bang, bang, bang!

The two clashed fiercely again, each collision causing a terrifying tremor.

"This… this is a battle at the Saint Realm level!"

"The Tenth Sequence Saint can actually fight against a Saint Realm Prodigy projection!"

"This is too incredible!"

The watching Disciples were completely shocked.

One must know, among the top nine sequence Saints present, few could face a Saint Realm expert head-on; even Chu Cangming could only barely defend.

"This brat… is actually this terrifying; just how much strength has he hidden?"

Lin Yanyu's expression was gloomy.

"It seems we all underestimated him."

Xiao Ran's voice was somewhat dry.

Chu Cangming was even more shocked, unable to speak.

When he challenged the twenty-sixth floor back then, he couldn't even take a single move from a Prodigy projection and was blasted directly out of the Primal Beginning Exquisite Pagoda.

The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Although Zhou Chen was able to fight the man in golden armor, he was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

The endurance of the Saint Realm was indeed not something he could face head-on right now.

However, Zhou Chen had enough reason to be proud; with Nascent Soul strength, hard-resisting a first-level Saint Realm Prodigy was a legend throughout the ages.

"It seems I have to use some trump cards."

A glint flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes, and he made a decision instantly.

Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art—Spirit Spike Stab!

The man in golden armor clearly did not expect Zhou Chen's Divine Sense to be so terrifying, and his eyes instantly went blank.

"Great Wilderness Sky Imprisoning Finger!"

Zhou Chen pointed his right index finger, and a terrifying, heaven-reaching giant finger instantly condensed.

"What?!"

The man in golden armor quickly regained his senses, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes.

"This is… an Imperial Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique?!"

Boom!

Before the man in golden armor could react, the terrifying finger radiance pierced directly through his chest.

Bang, bang, bang!

The figure of the man in golden armor instantly collapsed, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

Thirtieth floor, cleared!

"Imperial Rank Cultivation Technique!"

"Heavens, the Tenth Sequence Saint actually mastered an Imperial Rank Cultivation Technique!"

"How is this possible?!"

The watching Disciples were completely crazed.

An Imperial Rank Cultivation Technique was something that even the Supreme Elder of the Taichu Holy Land would have to value!

The expressions of the top nine sequence Saints all changed.

Among them, only Chu Cangming had mastered one Imperial Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique.

And the Cultivation Technique Zhou Chen displayed was clearly Imperial Rank High Grade!

"Imperial Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique…"

Chu Cangming muttered to himself, his eyes full of envy; if he knew that one of his Cultivation Techniques had been intercepted by Zhou Chen, he wondered if he would be angered to death.

Just then, a strong fluctuation came from deep within the Taichu Holy Land.

The figures of the Supreme Elder of the Taichu Holy Land Dao Xuan and several Elders appeared outside the Primal Beginning Exquisite Pagoda.

"This aura…"

"It's the Supreme Elder of the Taichu Holy Land!"

"The Supreme Elder of the Taichu Holy Land was also alarmed!"

A trace of shock flashed in Dao Xuan's eyes.

"What exactly is this brat's background?"

"Supreme Elder of the Taichu Holy Land, we have investigated this Zhou Chen's background; he indeed came from the Wenxian Sect in the Southern Region, introduced personally by the Taichu Holy Envoy Mu Yuandao. There is no mistake."

An Elder said respectfully.

"As for his strength…"

"Continue watching."

Dao Xuan said in a deep voice.

"This brat has given us too many surprises; let's first see how far he can go."

Inside the Primal Beginning Exquisite Pagoda, Zhou Chen had already stepped onto the thirty-first floor.

Since he had exposed his strength, Zhou Chen no longer hid it.

The Prodigy projection on the thirty-first floor also had the strength of the first level of the Saint Realm, but in front of Zhou Chen's Spirit Spike Stab and Great Wilderness Sky Imprisoning Finger, it was still vulnerable.

Thirty-second floor… thirty-fifth floor… Zhou Chen swept through all the way, and the Prodigy projections during this time were all defeated by him one by one.

"Is… is this still a human?"

"The Saint Realm Prodigy projections are like paper in front of him!"

"Too terrifying! Am I dreaming?"

The watching Disciples were already numb, and some even slapped themselves repeatedly to confirm this was not a dream.

They felt their worldview had been subverted.

"It's the thirty-fifth floor!"

"Just one more floor to reach the top!"

"Is Zhou Chen really going to reach the top of the Primal Beginning Exquisite Pagoda?"

Everyone was watching the Primal Beginning Exquisite Pagoda nervously, and a trace of anticipation could not help but flash in Dao Xuan's eyes.

Since the Primal Beginning Exquisite Pagoda was built, only a few people had successfully reached the top, and not one in thousands of years.

If Zhou Chen could really reach the top, it would be a historic moment for the Taichu Holy Land.

The Prodigy projection on the thirty-fifth floor was stronger, but was still forcefully defeated by Zhou Chen.

Hum, hum!

A mysterious fluctuation came from the Primal Beginning Exquisite Pagoda, followed by a deafening roar.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

"This is the Linglong Dao Sound; it only appears when a Disciple challenges the 36th floor. How many years has it been."

Some Holy Land Elders and Disciples had tears in their eyes; the Taichu Holy Land shall prosper!

Thirty-sixth floor.

When Zhou Chen stepped into the thirty-sixth floor, a terrifying pressure descended.

A mysterious figure wearing a black robe appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

His aura was unfathomable, as if it could devour everything.

"State your name; I do not kill the nameless."

The black-robed figure said faintly.

"I am Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen looked solemnly at the black-robed figure before him, alarm bells ringing in his heart.
