At this time, Long Chen simply displayed a performance that was worthy of praise.
When it came to 8,000 swords, he seemed to be exhausted and lost himself in it for a while. But then, as if he had gone crazy, he charged through layer after layer like a hot knife through butter. Now, the Spiritual Formations had reached the most difficult stage, and it was also the place where most challengers had failed.
But there had never been a challenger with the same fighting spirit as Long Chen.
He simply treated all the Spiritual Formations as his opponents. He forgot how many layers he was in. What he pursued now was a one-hit kill. He didn't make any mistakes. His whole body and mind were here, so he was successful from start to finish. This was the most frightening version of him.
It was because of this willpower that he had reached this day.
Then, without realizing it, he broke through his limit and reached 9,000 swords. And he didn't stop there. He moved even faster towards 10,000 swords.
In the end, there was no need for Lingxi to remind Long Chen. When Long Chen treated the Spiritual Formations as opponents that he had to kill in one hit, he had that mysterious killing talent that allowed him to easily find the opponent's weakness.
Then, a one-hit kill.
Killing after killing had made his Massacring Sword Incantation even more mature and sharper. This was a rare transformation. If not for the 10,000 Spiritual Formations, Long Chen would have needed a certain amount of time to cultivate the Massacring Sword Incantation to this level.
This was the kind of opportunity that came with challenges.
9,300 swords.
9,500 swords.
Ling Huang, who was watching him with a special method, was getting more and more shocked. With only 500 more Spiritual Formations, Long Chen would be able to reach the Spiritual Supreme Residence.
9,700 swords.
Only 300 more Spiritual Formations.
"Based on his level when he first entered the Spiritual Formations, I estimated that he would only be able to reach 6,000. I didn't expect him to give me such a big surprise as soon as he arrived. As expected of his son. Of course, the real show of the 10,000 Spiritual Formations is in the last ten layers. Those are the peak Spiritual Formations of the Spirit Clan. They are more difficult than all the previous ones. I don't believe that he can break through the 10,000 Spiritual Formations."
Long Chen didn't know what Ling Huang was thinking.
He only knew that if he had known that there was such a place, he would have come here long ago to train himself. Of course, if it wasn't for the Spirit Emperor planting the Loss Spiritual Formation on Ling Xi and setting up two almost impossible bets, he wouldn't have felt the pressure he was feeling now. But for him, pressure was a terrifying motivation. It was precisely this kind of pressure that allowed him to once again surpass his limits.
Even Ling Huang had to admit that if he were to disregard his familiarity with these Spiritual Arrays, it would be very difficult for him to break through these Ten Thousand Layer Spiritual Arrays with brute force.
With only three hundred strikes left, Long Chen saw hope of victory.
If it wasn't for the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Formation, it would have been very difficult for Long Chen to execute the Sword Art of Massacre to the level of 9,700 swords. This was what he had to thank for the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Formation, but this was not the end.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Little Skeleton's fighting spirit was high as he continuously urged Long Chen to move forward. At this moment, although Long Chen's face was pale, his eyes were filled with the strongest fighting spirit. He held the God Slaying Sword and continued to roar as he charged forward step by step, tearing through the Spiritual Formations.
He was getting closer and closer to the end.
Even at this moment, Lingxi and Kitten heaved a sigh of relief. They thought that Long Chen would definitely be able to break through the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Formation. However, they soon discovered that when the last hundred layers of Spiritual Formations appeared, their power was terrifyingly strong. Not only were they sturdy, they would also attack on their own. Moreover, they were very destructive.
Of course, at this moment, the power of the Sword Art of Massacre was also increasing. With every strike, the power of the Sword Art of Massacre would increase. At this moment, the sword could pierce through the Milky Way. Any strike from the sword could pierce through the Heavens and Earth and cut through the heavens.
The final clash.
For Long Chen, this final struggle was not a battle of strength, but willpower. After going through the nine thousand and nine hundred layers of Spiritual Formation, Long Chen was now exhausted. Moreover, it was very difficult to use the Sword Art of Massacre beyond his limits. Every strike was a burden that challenged his limits.
Of course, if he could successfully use it, the power would definitely not disappoint Long Chen.
The last hundred layers of Spiritual Formations were like a nightmare. Of course, this was also the time that brought about the greatest transformation for Long Chen. With every step he advanced, he would improve. He would surpass his limits time and time again, bringing out his potential to the extreme. When the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Formation was over, his strength would definitely increase tremendously. He reckoned that he would soon reach the late stage of the Seven-Star Tribulation.
Break.
In the blink of an eye, it was the last ten layers.
Without a doubt, this was the most difficult time. After all, the God Slaying Sword had already reached nine thousand and nine hundred. The last ten would be the end of the Sword Art of Massacre.
The most crucial moment had arrived.
At the eleventh last layer, Long Chen took a deep breath and entered through the crack that he had just torn. His intuition told him that the remaining ten layers of Spiritual Formation would not be so easy.
At this moment, Lingxi was also very cautious.
Boom.
They rushed out of the Spiritual Formation and arrived in the sky. There was nothing around them except for the boundless land under their feet. Just as Long Chen arrived, the entire land actually moved and condensed into a giant whose height could not be seen. The giant let out a roar and sent Long Chen flying. He felt a little dizzy.
At the same time, the giant raised his huge palms and slapped towards Long Chen. His two palms were like heaven and earth, attacking towards Long Chen. If he was really hit, he would definitely be turned into a meat patty.
"Speed."
At this moment, Long Chen had no choice but to use the power of the Chaotic Time Reverse to block the giant and allow himself to rush out of the range of his palms. Even so, it was too dangerous just now.
If not for the Chaotic Time Reverse, Long Chen did not know how he would have rushed out of the giant's encirclement.
"His left eye."
At this moment, Lingxi found the key. Long Chen looked quickly. As expected, the giant's left eye was different from its right eye. The left eye was deeper. He did not expect the Spiritual Formation to be hidden here.
Without saying a word, he followed the momentum of the Chaotic Time Reverse and rushed into the endless sky. The God Slaying Sword in his hand had already exploded with endless killing sword qi. This was the 991st sword. Long Chen attacked decisively with a Penetrating Rainbow Sword that pierced through the eyes of the mud giant and instantly tore the array diagram apart.
Success.
But this was not the time to be happy. From the difficulty of this stage, it could be seen that the next nine stages would be even more difficult and definitely not easy.
As expected, what happened next confirmed Long Chen's guess.
These last few Spiritual Formations were the most powerful techniques of each Spirit Clan. The Fire Spirit Clan, the Dark Spirit Clan, the Wind Spirit Clan, the Blood Spirit Clan, the Tree Spirit Clan, the Flower Spirit Clan, and so on. Breaking through each of these Spiritual Formations took a lot of effort and strength from Long Chen. Especially the Massacre Sword Art, which had already reached the limit of his limits. At this moment, as long as he could grit his teeth and use it, its power would be absolutely heaven-defying.
Long Chen's performance in the last few layers could be said to be quite astonishing. In the depths of the Spirit Zun Residence, the Spirit Emperor deeply furrowed his brows. He could already feel that Long Chen was different from the others. This tenacity and the ability to become braver the more frustrated he was, it was something that not many people could have.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the last two stages.
The last two stages were undoubtedly the most difficult. Most people thought that Long Chen would not be able to pass even if he knew how to use ten thousand Spiritual Formations. Whether or not he could impress them would depend on these last two stages.
Similarly, the Massacre Sword Art was only left with the last two stages. These two stages were very important to Long Chen. At this critical moment, he seemed to have comprehended something new.
This was what he had been dreaming of.
Finally, when it came to the last two stages, he had this feeling.
At this moment, he came to a dark world.
Hiss.
With a hiss, a blood-red and black color began to condense in the dark world. Finally, a creature comparable to the Mountain Giant was formed in front of Long Chen. At a closer look, it was very similar to the Primeval Troll, but there were many differences. At least, there were no dragon scales, and there were goat horns on its head.
This should be the Spiritual Formation of the Dark Spirit Clan.
"The Spiritual Formation is still on his left eye."
Lingxi said quickly.
"Yes."
The critical moment had arrived.
Although he was facing such a huge beast, Long Chen's only option was to kill it in one strike. He couldn't use the second strike, because the second strike would be the ten thousandth strike. If he did that, he would have to use the last layer of the Spirit Formation and finish the Slaughter Sword Art ahead of time.
Left eye.
Long Chen was very familiar with this place. Among the ten thousandth Spiritual Formation, huge beasts often appeared, and the Spiritual Formations were all in the left eye.
For the second last stage, Long Chen had been preparing for it for a while. He stood still and slashed with all his strength. Suddenly, a terrible sword light soared to ten thousand meters and pierced the left eye of the huge beast. This attack was almost the same as Yang You's Deity Sword Milky Way.
Rip.
The left eye of the huge beast exploded and disappeared completely.
It worked.
But Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. He felt that at the last moment, the Spiritual Formation had moved to the right eye.
Sure enough, Lingxi's panicked voice came. She was talking about this.
From the beginning, the Spiritual Formation had always been in the left eye, and it had never moved. This had formed a certain law in Long Chen's heart, which made him a little careless. He did not expect that it could move to the right eye before it was destroyed.
Time was tight, and there was no time to think. Long Chen did not care about how to break through the last stage, and directly used the last ten thousandth stage.
This was a historical stage, and it was also the strongest stage of the Massacre Sword Art.
This stage was stronger than the previous one, and it finally broke the opponent's Spiritual Formation. Long Chen did not have time to rest, and directly rushed to the last Spiritual Formation.
This was a world full of white light, which should have a lot to do with Sister Holy Spirit. Anyway, it was a blur, and he could not see anything. The last crisis was also brewing quickly.
However, the Massacre Sword Art had been used up.
