Flowing Water Swordsmanship.
Above Fang Chen's head, the giant golden sword of Dharma Laksana floated in the air. Within the Human Level Dharma Laksana, there was a strong Sword Essence that resonated with the golden heart.
Then, Fang Chen performed the Great Mastery Flowing Water Swordsmanship.
Crash!
Fang Chen waved his hand, and suddenly, countless ripples of water appeared in the sky. This was the strongest attack of the Great Mastery Flowing Water Swordsmanship.
At the Entry Level of the Flowing Water Swordsmanship, one could perform sixteen ripples of water. At the Small Mastery Level, one could perform thirty-two ripples of water at once.
At the Great Mastery Flowing Water Swordsmanship, one could perform sixty-four ripples of water at once.
In the sealed space, sixty-four ripples of water floated in the sky. The strong Sword Essence was directly absorbed by the ripples of water.
At the same time, Fang Chen's figure flashed, and the Hidden Star Sword in his hand was constantly waving.
"Go!"
Fang Chen shouted, and the sixty-four ripples of water in the sky, carrying a strong Sword Essence, directly pierced towards the skinny old man.
Seeing this scene, the skinny old man's expression did not change. He clenched his fist, and the Sword Essence of Water shrouded him. Then, he performed the Hadouken.
"Hadouken."
The skinny old man was not surprised by Fang Chen's strength. He calmly performed the Hadouken.
Crash!
As soon as the Hadouken was performed, all the water elemental aura in the sealed space, with the skinny old man as the center, seemed to be sucked out and poured into the Hadouken.
"This …"
Fang Chen, who was performing the Flowing Water Swordsmanship, was also shocked.
This was probably the true essence of the Hadouken.
To be able to suck out all the water elemental aura in the sealed space in an instant, so that his Flowing Water Swordsmanship could not be replenished, this was very clever.
Boom!
The sixty-four ripples of water violently hit the Hadouken.
Bang! Bang!
The Hadouken only paused for a moment, and then continued to carry the strong Sword Essence of Water into the center of the sixty-four ripples of water.
Crack!
A cracking sound could be heard from the 64 Rippling Waters. In the next moment, Fang Chen discovered that the Rippling Waters had been shattered by the fist aura.
As the first water ripple was shattered, the water ripples behind it were unable to stop the fist light at all. In the blink of an eye, they were all shattered.
"What a powerful Oscillating Fist."
Fang Chen could not help but exclaim. The skinny old man's Oscillating Fist was several times stronger than the one he had used on the first floor.
His strongest Flowing Water Sword Art attack had been easily broken by the skinny old man.
It seemed like he had to show his trump card.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at the skinny old man. Holding the Hidden Star Sword in his hand, he once again rushed in front of the skinny old man. While using the Flowing Water Sword Technique, Fang Chen was also secretly arranging an array.
His only trump card now was the Void Plundering Array. However, he did not know if the Void Plundering Array would work on the skinny old man.
Crash!
When the skinny old man once again blocked Fang Chen's attack, he discovered that he had fallen into an array.
"Array."
The skinny old man looked around the array and said faintly.
"Kid, since you want to feel the threat of death, I will make an exception this time."
The skinny old man knew that the Void Plundering Array was Fang Chen's trump card. This time, in order to make Fang Chen feel the threat of death, he was prepared to use an even more powerful force.
Rumble!
Fang Chen was controlling the Void Plundering Array when he suddenly felt the array shaking. Then, a shocking aura rushed out from the skinny old man's body.
"This …"
Feeling this aura, Fang Chen's body could not help but tremble. Even his soul was trembling.
At this moment, the powerful Void Plundering Array collapsed in an instant. It was like a flood that had broken through a dam.
Ah!
Fang Chen could not help but let out a miserable cry. His soul was in pain. He felt the threat of death.
"Such strength."
Fang Chen's heart was filled with shock. The aura released by the skinny old man was not an aura that a Spiritual Whirlpool Realm expert could possess. It was definitely an aura that surpassed the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
Could it be the True Martial Realm?
No matter what, the skinny old man had successfully made Fang Chen feel the aura of death.
"No!"
The skinny old man only glanced at Fang Chen and the latter felt a splitting headache. It was as if his soul was about to explode. At this moment, he did not have the strength to fight back. He could not even move his body.
At this moment, Fang Chen truly felt the threat of death.
That fear came from the depths of his heart.
Fang Chen shouted unwillingly. At this moment, he had already forgotten that the skinny old man had no intention of killing him. He only wanted him to fight on the edge of life and death.
Ah!
Fang Chen let out a miserable cry. He had fallen into an illusion.
Fang Chen's hair was disheveled. His eyes were scarlet red. He saw himself in a battlefield. This battlefield was foul and incomparably bloody.
At a glance, there were piles of bones on the battlefield. He was standing on top of a pile of bones. The entire battlefield was filled with dense killing intent.
"No!"
Suddenly, Fang Chen saw his father, Fang Tianyu, appear on the battlefield. After that, a martial artist whose entire body was shrouded in a black aura appeared without anyone noticing. He directly launched a fierce attack on his father.
Fang Tianyu was not a match for this black figure. In an instant, his chest was pierced by the black figure's spear. Fang Tianyu's body softly fell to the ground. Before he died, he looked at Fang Chen with a complicated gaze.
Fang Chen wanted to save him, but he found himself unable to move.
His heart was filled with helplessness.
"No!"
Fang Chen cried out miserably. He did not want to see his loved ones leave one by one. He had to work hard to change the reality in front of him.
"I don't believe it."
Suddenly, a terrifying golden light shot out from Fang Chen's scarlet eyes. In the next moment, the golden heart trembled rapidly. Fang Chen's soul trembled incessantly.
Rumble!
"Father!"
Fang Chen roared loudly. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. The white bones had completely disappeared. Standing in front of him was a skinny old man.
At this moment, Fang Chen's forehead was full of sweat. His body was still trembling.
Obviously, the illusion just now was too realistic. Fang Chen was unable to break free for a while. If it was not for the golden heart, he would probably still be in the illusion.
"That was an illusion."
After coming out of the illusion, Fang Chen's eyes were unusually cold. In his Qi Sea, the spiritual spirals were constantly rotating. A majestic aura was emitted from his Qi Sea.
"I want to become stronger. I don't want my loved ones to die."
Fang Chen screamed in his heart. Although it was an illusion, it had touched his weakness. He did not want to see this happen. Therefore, he wanted to become stronger.
With this desire to become stronger, the spiritual energy in Fang Chen's Qi Sea began to rotate wildly.
Fang Chen's temperament was changing. In his Qi Sea, the second spiritual spiral was rapidly condensing.
Seeing this scene, the skinny old man retracted his majestic aura. He stood quietly in the sealed space of the second level and watched Fang Chen break through.
"This kid's state of mind is really terrifying," the skinny old man said to himself.
Others might not know, but the skinny old man knew best. The illusion just now was so powerful that even some experts in the advanced Spiritual Spiral Realm would not be able to extricate themselves from it.
Fang Chen, on the other hand, had relied on his own willpower to wake up from the terrifying illusion. Moreover, he had used it to break through.
This kind of genius was considered top-notch even in the Water God Sect back in the day.
Of course, the skinny old man was referring to his potential. As for his strength, Fang Chen's strength was nothing.
At this moment, Fang Chen closed his eyes. The surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth surged into his body. The second spiritual spiral in his Qi Sea was gradually forming.
As long as the spiritual spiral began to form, it was only a matter of time before it formed.
The skinny old man looked at Fang Chen with a smile on his face.
In fact, when he had released that despairing aura, he had already broken the rules. However, if he could create a peerless expert, it did not matter even if he broke the rules.
According to the rules of the Heaven Pagoda, the strength of the clone on the second level was at most comparable to the third level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm.
However, with the strength of the third level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm, it was obviously impossible to put Fang Chen in a life-threatening situation. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the skinny old man finally chose to help Fang Chen.
"Young man, I hope you can become a peerless expert in the future," the skinny old man said softly.
Two hours later, Fang Chen's Qi Sea let out a loud explosion.
In the next moment, Fang Chen opened his eyes and shot out a terrifying golden light.
"Second Level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm?"
Fang Chen stared at his Qi Sea and realized that there were two spiritual spirals floating side by side in his Qi Sea, rotating quietly.
Forming the second spiritual spiral meant that he had stepped into the second level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm.
There was a huge difference between the first and second level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm. Fang Chen finally understood.
Now, he felt that his entire body was filled with strength. He calmed himself down and raised his head to look at the skinny old man.
At this moment, the latter was sizing him up with a smile.
"Not bad." The skinny old man only said two words.
"Thank you, senior." Fang Chen cupped his hands and thanked him. This gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.
If not for the skinny old man's help, Fang Chen would have needed a period of time to break through to the second level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm.
"This is your own effort. I just helped you along the way," the skinny old man said.
No matter what, Fang Chen was very grateful to the skinny old man.
"Since you have broken through to the second level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm, you have passed the test of the second level," the skinny old man said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Fang Chen was a little surprised. Was he not going to fight anymore?
"After fighting with you for so long, I naturally know your combat power. Although you are only at the second level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm, your true combat power is definitely comparable to the third level of the Spiritual Spiral Realm. There is no need to fight," the skinny old man said.
