Chapter 438 - 414: Tier 5 Sword Array, Divinity Transformation Great Demon

Chapter 438: Chapter 414: Tier 5 Sword Array, Divinity Transformation Great Demon

’What a Demon Suppression Pagoda. If an ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator faced this, their only path to a good score would be to rely on Escape Techniques!’

Zhang Chi was quite impressed. He then raised a hand, and a black Top Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword shot out. Black Sword Light raged across the sky, instantly shredding all the Demon Beasts. However, no blood or gore appeared afterward.

All the Demon Beasts disintegrated into pure Vitality that surged toward Zhang Chi.

But Zhang Chi’s Cultivation had already reached its limit, so he used all this Vitality to nourish his Star Swords.

SWISH!

Then, with a slight flicker of his body, Zhang Chi transformed into a streak of blood-red light, instantly arriving at the end of the grassland.

A portal appeared before him. Zhang Chi entered it, and after a shift in his vision, he found himself on a vast platform.

However, there were no other Cultivators here, as Zhang Chi’s speed had clearly put him in first place.

At the same time, a soft ball of golden light appeared on the platform and landed in his hand.

Then, as the light faded, a white Jade Bottle appeared in his hand.

Zhang Chi looked and saw that the Jade Bottle contained a full one hundred Elixirs. They were all quite precious Tier Four Low Grade pills capable of raising one’s Cultivation.

For him, however, this was merely better than nothing.

In addition, there were two other portals at the end of the platform. One led to the next level, and the other was to exit the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Zhang Chi put away the Elixirs and immediately entered the next level, once again finding himself in a vast grassland.

Soon, Demon Beasts appeared again. They were still Tier Four Early Stage, but this time their numbers reached several hundred.

BOOM!

Zhang Chi still dealt with these Demon Beasts with a single wave of his hand, once again obtaining a large amount of Vitality.

After using the Vitality to nourish his Flying Swords, he passed the level and received another white Jade Bottle.

This time, however, the Jade Bottle didn’t contain Elixirs, but ten drops of Ten Thousand Years Earth Milk Spirit Liquid.

This wasn’t much to Zhang Chi, but it was extremely precious to Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators. Not only could it increase their Cultivation, but it could also help them break through a Cultivation Bottleneck.

Furthermore, Zhang Chi noticed there were still no other Cultivators on the platform. Clearly, he was in first place again.

So, he continued to the next level. This time, he finally encountered Tier Four Middle Stage Demon Beasts. Just like before, they were of various types, and dozens appeared at once.

But this was still nothing to Zhang Chi. He killed them all with another wave of his hand, passed the level, and received his reward. This time, it was another hundred Elixirs, but they were the more precious Tier Four Middle Grade.

’Then the fourth level should have several hundred Tier Four Middle Stage Demon Beasts, and the reward will be a Spiritual Object for breaking through bottlenecks, right?’

Zhang Chi proceeded to the next level, and as expected, there were even more Demon Beasts, but they were still no match for him.

Afterward, Zhang Chi received a Purple Core Breaking Barrier Pill.

The Pill was the size of a fingertip and entirely purple, its surface shimmering with a radiant light. It also emitted an extraordinary, refreshing fragrance. It was a precious Elixir that could help one break through a Cultivation Bottleneck.

From what Zhang Chi understood, this pill’s effect was even better than the Ten Thousand Years Earth Milk Spirit Liquid.

"Not bad!"

Even though he had anticipated it, Zhang Chi was still quite satisfied.

Although he was proficient in Alchemy, he couldn’t refine this kind of Elixir himself. It required not only the Pill Formula but also some special materials.

And while he didn’t need this Pill himself, he could trade it for other Cultivation Materials or save it for Lan Xuan and Qin Susu.

Next, filled with anticipation, Zhang Chi entered the fifth level without any delay.

The previous levels had been too easy for him; he had consumed a negligible amount of Magical Power.

Following that, Zhang Chi quickly cleared levels five, six, seven, and eight.

On levels five and six, Zhang Chi faced Tier Four Late Stage Demon Beasts. The only difference was that level five had dozens, while level six had hundreds.

Levels seven and eight were the same, except the Demon Beasts were at Tier Four Peak.

Even a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator couldn’t pass such levels easily or quickly, but for the current Zhang Chi, they posed no difficulty at all.

Even the Demon Beasts on levels seven and eight were all killed in the blink of an eye with a single Magical Treasure Flying Sword he controlled, wasting no time.

As a result, he obtained a massive amount of Vitality, which gave both his Star Swords and his Spirit Treasure Flying Sword a significant boost.

This was especially true for his Star Swords. They had already been nourished for over two hundred years, and now, after absorbing so much pure Vitality, they were finally on the verge of breaking through their limits.

Once they broke through, they would all become Celestial Grade Magical Treasures, or in other words, Pseudo-Spirit Treasures.

Once that happened, their Mighty Power would be absolutely astonishing.

In addition, Zhang Chi reaped four more rewards.

The rewards from levels five and seven were both Elixirs—Tier Four Upper Grade and Top Grade Elixirs, respectively—suitable for Nascent Soul Late Stage and Nascent Soul Peak Cultivators.

There were a hundred of each, making them extremely precious.

Even Zhang Chi couldn’t help but feel delighted upon seeing the Elixirs from the seventh level.

The rewards from levels six and eight were also Elixirs. The former was the Dragon Power Pill, and the latter was the Creation Pill.

The Dragon Power Pill was the size of a fist and entirely blood-red, and a faint dragon’s roar could be heard from within it.

This Pill was said to be refined from true dragon’s blood. It could help a Cultivator with Body Refining and even allow them to break through a Body Refining Great Realm. After consuming it, a Cultivator could even gain the Power of One Dragon.

While this was likely an exaggeration, it still proved that the Pill was truly extraordinary.

The Creation Pill, on the other hand, was a blue pill the size of a longan, its surface flickering with arcs of Thunderbolt.

Once consumed, a Cultivator could directly experience the mysteries of the next Realm, making future breakthroughs much easier.

For example, if Zhang Chi were to use this Pill, he could directly experience what it felt like to be a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

In a way, this was also a Spirit Pill that could help a Cultivator break through a Cultivation Bottleneck, only it was far more precious.

’Excellent, this Dragon Power Pill is exactly what I need. With it, I might be able to break my Body Refining Cultivation through to Tier Five directly. As for this Creation Pill, it’s not very useful to me.’

’I’ve performed a Soul Search on Master Taixuan’s Primordial Spirit, so I already know what it feels like to be a Divinity Transformation Cultivator. In fact, I know even more, and in greater detail.’

’But ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators don’t get an opportunity like mine, so this Pill would be an absolutely priceless treasure to them. I can definitely trade it for a large quantity of precious materials!’

’Or perhaps I could use this Pill when my Cultivation is higher.’

Zhang Chi then took out both types of Elixirs and examined them carefully, feeling very satisfied.

It turned out that the faster one cleared the levels, the better the rewards. Because of this, Zhang Chi had been rushing the whole time and hadn’t had a chance to examine the Elixirs he’d received.

It was only now, just before entering the final level, that Zhang Chi finally paused for a moment.

For one, it was impossible for anyone to catch up to him anytime soon.

For another, following the pattern, the next level would likely contain a Divinity Transformation Level opponent, so even Zhang Chi had to take it seriously.

But after only a moment, Zhang Chi finished his preparations and entered the final level of the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

The terrain was once again a grassland, but after he entered, he found it completely empty.

BOOM!

But in the next instant, a colossal, sky-blotting hand suddenly descended from above, snatching Zhang Chi in its palm.

Then, the space in the area rippled, and a giant a hundred zhang tall appeared.

The giant radiated astonishing fluctuations of Magical Power. It looked mostly human, but its eyes were pitch-black, its hair was red, and two golden horns grew from its forehead. It had pointed ears and a mouth full of jagged teeth—it was a Tier Five Demon Beast.

This Tier Five Demon Beast had been there all along, but it had used a Secret Technique to hide itself, only revealing its presence after it had attacked.

Clearly, it was not only powerful but also extremely cunning.

"Has it been a hundred years already? I can finally have a hearty meal again! Excellent, haha!" the Tier Five Demon Beast laughed as it appeared.

And in its eyes, Zhang Chi was already a dead man.

It was confident that its grip would turn any Nascent Soul Cultivator into a bloody pulp.

BOOM!

But the next moment, before the Demon Beast could even retract its giant hand, the hand suddenly exploded.

Then, a figure shot into the sky, surrounded by Sword Light. It was Zhang Chi, completely unharmed.

"Ah! Human, you’re unharmed? How dare you wound me in a sneak attack! I’ll kill you!"

The Demon Beast cried out in pain.

It stared at Zhang Chi, its face a mask of anger and disbelief.

"Survive my Sword Array first, then we’ll talk!"

Zhang Chi sneered, raised a hand, and pointed at the sky. A multitude of Star Swords shot out instantly, forming a Star Sword Array with an Array Map that enveloped the Tier Five Demon Beast.

The moment the Star Sword Array formed, it began to operate fiercely. Brilliant starlight pierced through the void from the distant cosmos, and crisscrossing Sword Qi immediately filled the array, completely overwhelming the Demon Beast.

As it turned out, Zhang Chi possessed the Void Spirit Eyes and a powerful Divine Thought, so he had discovered the Demon Beast long ago.

Allowing himself to be caught was merely a way to test its Combat Power.

Now, what Zhang Chi planned to do was use the Star Sword Array to execute the Demon Beast on the spot.

Of course, with his strength, Zhang Chi could have simply used an Escape Technique to pass this final level directly.

But the reward for doing so certainly wouldn’t be as good as killing the beast first. Besides, killing the Demon Beast would provide him with a massive amount of Vitality, which would surely be enough to upgrade all his Star Swords to Celestial Grade.

"A mere Tier Four Peak Sword Array wants to kill me? Dream on! Break!"

The Tier Five Demon Beast was greatly alarmed but quickly composed itself. It immediately used its Divine Techniques to block the Sword Light while rapidly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Soon, its shattered hand re-formed.

Then, with a roar, it threw a fierce punch, and the entire Star Sword Array was instantly on the verge of collapse.

At the same time, while the Sword Array’s attacks were sharp, they could at most inflict superficial wounds on its body.

Even its hand being shattered earlier was only because it had been far too careless.

"Is that so? What about a Tier Five Sword Array? Can that kill you?"

Zhang Chi remained unfazed. He raised his hand and pointed again, and his Spirit Treasure Flying Sword shot out with incomparable speed, joining the Sword Array.

The Sword Array instantly flared with brilliant light, growing stronger and directly reaching Tier Five.

Of course, besides the boost from the Spirit Treasure Flying Sword, Zhang Chi’s skill in Swordsmanship, his Divine Thought, and his proficiency in Arrays were also crucial reasons why the Sword Array could be upgraded.

And this time, the array’s offensive power intensified dozens of times over. The Tier Five Demon Fiend was instantly suppressed, and shocking wounds finally began to appear on its body.
