The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 292: The Battle of Limits!

Chapter 292: The Battle of Limits!

Approximately an hour later, within the trial space of the fifth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder known for its hellish difficulty.

Ling Feng's current situation was dire. Extremely dire!

If given another chance, perhaps he wouldn't have recklessly chosen the hellish difficulty.

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng felt like he was losing his mind.

Is this really just hellish difficulty? It is more like insanely hellish difficulty!

Looking at the countless replicas of himself before him, Ling Feng felt like he was about to vomit blood.

And this was only the fifth level!

The Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder was established by the Yijian Sect to enhance the combat abilities of its disciples. It could adjust the number and strength of opponents based on the challenger's strength, effectively pushing the challenger to their limits which yielded great trial effects.

It was often within these trials closest to one's limits that practitioners could break through shackles and reach new heights.

Generally, the first level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder would have an opponent at the same realm as the challenger, the second level two opponents, and the third level four opponents.

Starting from the fourth level, challengers would encounter expert opponents at the limit of their current realm.

These experts were martial artists who had reached an invincible level within their realm.

For instance, in the Pulse Formation Realm, a martial artist with fifty meridian gates could be considered an expert at the limit.

The fourth level of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder featured one such expert, while the fifth level featured two of them, the sixth level, four, the seventh level, eight, the eighth level, sixteen, and by the ninth level, there were a hundred experts at the limit of the current realm.

A hundred experts! Without exceptional talent, it was impossible to pass the ninth level.

And the Wind and Thunder Trial of hellish difficulty...

It was beyond challenging!

In short, Ling Feng was currently getting beaten so badly that he could barely recognize himself.

It was no wonder that even the mighty Yijian Sect, during its heyday, had only one person who managed to pass the hellish Wind and Thunder Trial, earning the title of the Thousand-Year Sword.

Just the fifth level of the hellish difficulty required the challenger to face a hundred opponents at the Pulse Formation Realm limit. It was like Ling Feng had to deal with a hundred opponents at the level of Du Shaoling or Jun Moxie simultaneously!

Of course, these expert challengers created by the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder might not be on par with Du Shaoling in solo combat, but their greatest advantage lay in their almost inexhaustible true qi. As long as the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder kept running, their true qi wouldn't deplete.

In the first four levels, Ling Feng managed to preserve his strength to the utmost by swiftly killing his opponents with his dazzling swordsmanship.

However, Ling Feng never imagined that upon entering the fifth level, a hundred experts at the Pulse Formation Realm limit would come rushing at him.

And the most infuriating thing was that although it was promised that valuable items could be chosen on each level, in hellish difficulty, there wasn't even a single hair available!

Ling Feng finally realized that in hellish difficulty, if one couldn't pass the ninth level and gave up midway, they would likely return empty-handed.

"Damn you, Spirit of Wind and Thunder! I trusted you for nothing!"

Ling Feng cursed the Spirit of Wind and Thunder in his heart, swiftly moving with Boundless Sword Steps to evade the frenzied sword qi from a hundred individuals who looked exactly like him.

The sensation of being chased by a hundred of himself was truly exhilarating!

After all, Ling Feng only had thirteen meridian gates. Even though he unlocked the Primordial Locks, he was still at a significant disadvantage in true qi.

"Primordial Lock, unlock!"

"Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art!"

"Eight Direction Shatter Abyss!"

Ling Feng gritted his teeth tightly. At this moment, he was starting to feel drained, relying solely on his strong willpower to fight desperately.

His body was covered in more and more wounds. Even though he practiced the Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art, making his flesh exceptionally tough, it was still unable to easily withstand the attacks of these expert challengers.

It was only under such extreme combat that one could continuously push past their own limits, step by step, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts!

...

Huff...

Ye Nanfeng gasped for air heavily. "Indeed, this Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder is quite insane."

He had already passed the seventh level. In the previous six levels, the treasures he obtained were all above fifth-tier medicinal pills and top-grade treasured artifacts. These were treasures that even experts at the Spiritual Element Realm would covet.

For example, he had obtained an Element-Breaking Golden Pill, a fifth-tier top-grade medicinal pill capable of enhancing the spiritual power of those at the Spiritual Element Realm, as well as a Profound Sky Purple Fire Pill and Heavenly Detoxifying Pill. Ye Nanfeng had obtained quite a few medicinal pills this time, which could be said to be equivalent to having several extra lives.

"Fortunately, I have the rare Chaotic Body and comprehended a bit of spatial power. Although it's just superficial, my starting point in true qi is much higher than that of ordinary attributes. Haha, I, Ye Nanfeng, am indeed a genius!"

On the other hand, Du Shaoling, Jun Moxie, Li Bufan, and a few others had successively entered the eighth level.

Almost everyone who could enter this Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder was no ordinary talent. Reaching the seventh level was almost a foregone conclusion.

"Hmph. Spirit of Wind and Thunder, get ready to eat my booger."

Du Shaoling's current mood was incredibly excited. His Art of Sky-Swallowing Creation was an extremely domineering martial art, and what it feared the least was facing a group. When its aura was unleashed, even opponents slightly superior in strength would immediately be suppressed, only able to exert eighty percent of their actual power.

The Pulse Formation Realm experts nurtured by the spiritual energy of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder might possess powerful true qi, but without human will, they were immediately overwhelmed by the momentum released by Du Shaoling. Throughout the journey, Du Shaoling moved through the challengers like a tiger among sheep, clearing each level effortlessly, and easily reaching the eighth level.

Breaking the neck of the last opponent on the eighth level, Du Shaoling's aura soared to its peak. This unbeatable aura, continuously accumulating, was an invincible force, and empowered Du Shaoling to be able to continuously defeat his enemies without a single defeat in his path of cultivation.

It could be said that it was this unbeatable aura that endowed Du Shaoling's Art of Sky-Swallowing Creation with such overwhelming dominance.

In the shadows, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder, who had been closely watching Du Shaoling, felt anxious. This guy isn't afraid of being outnumbered at all. It seems I'll have to play dirty.

"Hmph, you think you can win against me? How naive! Hehehe..."

Having selected a top-grade treasured artifact-level sword on the eighth level, Du Shaoling stepped into the luminous barrier of the ninth level.

"As long as I defeat these weaklings, I can redeem myself! Hmph, that damned Spirit of Wind and Thunder dares to treat me like this? Hmph."

Du Shaoling exerted his unbeatable aura to the extreme and rushed fiercely into the group of a hundred limit experts on the ninth level.

"I'll make you remember Du Shaoling of Zhenlong Academy. Even if you're the spirit of the tower, you can't insult me lightly!"
