As soon as the gatekeeper finished speaking, he split into nine clones and chased after the nine people.
"Not good."
Seeing this, Fang Chen cursed inwardly.
His figure flickered as he pushed his True Meaning of the Void to the extreme.
The gatekeeper's clones chased after Fang Chen.
"This gatekeeper has actually split into nine clones. I wonder which one is the real one." Fang Chen thought to himself as he fled.
Just a moment ago, Fang Chen thought that he had discovered the gatekeeper's weakness.
The gatekeeper's defense was extremely strong. Even the all-out attacks of the eight ultimate powerhouses couldn't break through his defense.
However, Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword easily pierced through the gatekeeper's armpit.
"The gatekeeper's armpit is his weakness."
Fang Chen took the opportunity to send a voice transmission to the others.
However, Fang Chen continued, "Everyone, don't expose yourselves. Once the gatekeeper finds out, it will be impossible for us to launch a sneak attack."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the other people who were fleeing all became extremely anxious.
"Then what should we do?"
At this moment, Ancestor Bronze spoke.
"The gatekeeper has used the Doppelganger Shadow Technique. His true body's strength has been greatly weakened. This is your only chance."
"Ancestor, can you find the gatekeeper's true body?" Fang Chen asked anxiously.
At this moment, some of the clones had already caught up and were caught in a chaotic battle.
The others were also extremely anxious.
Bang!
The gatekeeper's clone was the first to catch up to Dark Sword. He held Dark Sword in his hand and launched his strongest attack.
Bang! Bang!
Dark Sword and the gatekeeper's clone fought fiercely.
However, everyone knew that Dark Sword was at a disadvantage. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
At this moment, Fang Chen noticed that one of the clones chasing Enlightened Master Tian Hong had unknowingly approached Dark Sword.
"Not good, the gatekeeper's target is Dark Sword!" Fang Chen shouted.
Immediately, he used his True Meaning of the Void. In the next moment, the void tore apart and he appeared in front of the gatekeeper's clone chasing Enlightened Master Tian Hong.
Swoosh
The Golden Light Dragon Slaying Sword pierced directly into the armpit of the guardian's clone.
Ah
A miserable shriek could be heard as the other eight clones collapsed. The guardian's true body, which had been stabbed by Fang Chen, instantly appeared.
"Die!"
The gatekeeper shook off Fang Chen's Star Hidden Sword and roared in anger.
"The heart of the Black Crack King."
Upon hearing Fang Chen's roar, one of the eight ultimate powerhouses flicked his wrist and the Dark Crack Monarch's heart shot towards Fang Chen.
"You guys go first."
Fang Chen bellowed. Then, he fused the Black Split King's heart into the Hidden Star Sword and stabbed at the guardian once more.
The guardian's armpit was pierced, and his strength seemed to have weakened a lot.
Fang Chen displayed the True Meaning of Void, but the guardian was actually unable to detect the existence of Fang Chen.
Swoosh
Fang Chen's Star Hidden Sword once again pierced into the keeper's armpit.
Roar!
The guardian let out a furious roar and the aura around him instantly increased.
However, the Dark Crack Monarch's heart in the Star Hidden Sword drilled directly into the guardian's armpit.
Hiss!
The Dark Crack Monarch's heart, which contained a vast amount of power, instantly exploded.
Crack!
One of the guardian's arms was directly smashed and blood splattered across the sky.
He was completely enraged.
"All of you must die."
Although the guardian had lost one of his arms, it was still not something that the crowd could withstand.
At this moment, the eight ultimate powerhouses had already arrived at the entrance of the eighth level. They glanced at Fang Chen, then gritted their teeth and entered the eighth level.
Boom!
Just as the eight ultimate powerhouses entered the eighth level, Fang Chen was directly sent flying by the guardian.
"Die."
The guardian's figure flashed and appeared in front of Fang Chen, wanting to kill Fang Chen.
However, at this moment, a vast amount of thunderbolt energy gushed out from Fang Chen's body.
Rumble!
The thunderbolt energy instantly blasted towards the guardian as if it was a Real Martial Realm Lightning Tribulation.
"Damn it!"
The guardian waved his fist to block the thunderbolt energy.
Fang Chen used this time to easily enter the eighth level.
At this moment, on the open space of the eighth level, the eight ultimate powerhouses' faces were ashen and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"Young friend Fang, he …" Dark Sword said.
"This time, it's all thanks to young friend Fang, but …" Sword Breaker also said.
"I owe young friend Fang a favor. If he doesn't die, I will definitely repay this favor," Zang Jian, who had been silent all this time, said in a deep voice.
"That's right, the eight of us owe young friend Fang a favor."
A favor from the eight ultimate powerhouses was extremely important.
However, just as the eight of them thought that Fang Chen was doomed, a figure suddenly rushed into the eighth level.
"Young friend Fang."
Seeing this, the eight of them were overjoyed and surrounded Fang Chen.
"Young friend Fang, are you alright?" Dark Sword asked.
"Young friend Fang, that guardian couldn't have been killed by you, right?" Daoist Tianhong asked.
"Young friend Fang, what happened?"
The eight ultimate powerhouses were very curious as to how Fang Chen had managed to escape.
"Seniors, do you still remember that my entire body was covered in lightning?" Fang Chen said.
"Of course I remember."
"After I destroyed the guardian's life gate, I directly activated the thunderbolt energy and blocked the guardian for a moment before I entered the eighth level."
Hearing this, the eight ultimate powerhouses all nodded.
The guardian of the seventh level was too strong. It was simply impossible to defeat him.
"Young friend Fang, no matter what, we owe you a favor this time. If you need anything in the future, don't hesitate to ask," Wind Chant said.
The other seven also nodded heavily.
Hearing this, Fang Chen revealed a trace of a smile.
"If I have any trouble in the future, I will have to trouble you eight seniors." Fang Chen cupped his hands.
The eight of them laughed heartily.
After the eight of them entered the eighth level, the experts of the second group finally entered the seventh level.
There were only five people in total. As for the other quasi Kings, some had died, while others had been trapped.
At this moment, Lu Jingyun and the others' auras were incomparably terrifying.
"As expected of the God Burying Sword Prison." Tuoba Yulong grinned.
They had all obtained important inheritances from the previous level.
Lu Jingyun's strength had already reached the quasi King realm. As for Tuoba Yulong, Liu Wudao, Dugu Yun, and Situ Hong, they were a bit weaker, but their cultivation had also reached the ninth level of the True Martial realm.
Perhaps they would really be able to step into the Profound King realm this time.
"Quickly find the entrance to the next level."
Lu Jingyun's goal was very simple. He wanted to follow the footsteps of the eight ultimate powerhouses and then fight alongside them.
With their current strength, they were qualified to join hands with the eight ultimate powerhouses.
Not long after, everyone discovered the gatekeeper.
The guardian only had one arm. Blood was constantly flowing out from under his armpit. His face was pitch-black, as if he had been heavily injured.
"Yes."
Seeing this, Lu Jingyun and the others stared warily at the guardian.
"You humans, quickly leave," the gatekeeper said coldly.
"He's injured. Let's join hands and charge over." Lu Jingyun said.
Indeed, as Lu Jingyun had guessed, the guardian was heavily injured. The Black Crack King's heart was a fatal blow.
When the Black Crack King's heart was heavily injured, his strength was still at the Profound King realm.
But after such a long time, his strength had been declining.
At this moment, he was actually unable to resist the combined attack of Lu Jingyun and the others.
Bang!
Lu Jingyun sent the guardian flying with a slash of his sword. Then, the five of them quickly entered the eighth level.
"Damned humans. Wait until I'm fully recovered. I'll definitely kill all of you."
Seeing this, the guardian roared furiously.
On the eighth level, Fang Chen and the others were adjusting their condition.
They had gone through a fierce battle on the seventh level and had expended a lot of energy.
They didn't know what dangers awaited them on the eighth level, so they had to be careful.
Lu Jingyun and the others entered the eighth level and instantly discovered the eight ultimate powerhouses.
"It's the eight ultimate powerhouses." Lu Jingyun's face was filled with joy.
Liu Wudao and Tuoba Yulong were also very excited. They had finally caught up to the eight ultimate powerhouses.
But at this moment, Dugu Yun and Situ Hong's faces were filled with shock.
"Brother Fang, why is he here?"
Hearing the two's shocked voices, Lu Jingyun and the others' gazes all turned to Fang Chen.
