"The sword energy is destroyed!"
Yang Qi's expression froze, and he let out a low shout. The energy and physical strength in his body instantly burst out, and even the power of the Qinghong Sword was instantly activated.
Whoosh~
The next moment, Yang Qi's figure turned into a stream of green light and shot towards the man.
Although the man was only at the middle stage of the Eight-Star Martial Lord, Yang Qi did not dare to underestimate him. Since Zhu Xuan dared to use an energy body of the middle stage of the Eight-Star Martial Lord as a test for the seventh floor of the Star Tower, at least one thing was certain, that is, the man in front of him was definitely stronger than the figure on the sixth floor!
The man looked at the incoming green light and chuckled, "It's quite powerful. It's quite impressive that you can do what an early-stage Eight-Star Martial Master can do."
Whoosh~
Before he finished speaking, the sword in the man's hand shook, and a sword light flew out from his hand. The sword light flew through the air and directly landed on the oncoming green light.
"You look down on me so much?"
Seeing the man's casual attack, Yang Qi was stunned and felt a little annoyed.
Yang Qi was confident that he could defeat a genius of the same generation, even one of Wei Ming's level. But the man in front of him faced his full-strength sword attack and just blocked it with a casual sword
Boom!
At this moment, the two sharp sword beams collided with each other, accompanied by a loud bang that shook the earth. The green light was shattered in an instant, and the sharp sword beams continued to attack Yang Qi at an unslowed speed.
"How come?"
Seeing his ultimate move being broken, Yang Qi's face showed a look of disbelief. The ultimate move he used with all his strength, the power of which definitely reached the peak level of Martial Master, was broken just like that
"Stop it for me!"
However, the sharp sword light that was attacking Yang Qi did not have time to think about it. He held the Qinghong sword in his hand horizontally and protected it firmly in front of his chest.
Bang!
The sword light fell, and there was a low muffled sound. Under the terrifying power, Yang Qi's figure was blown away.
"Wow~"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Yang Qi’s mouth, and then his body flew backwards and hit the stone wall of the seventh-floor hall.
Yang Qi stared at the man in the center of the hall, who had not even moved. His expression was extremely solemn, and he slowly uttered four words, "Sword Intent is Perfect!"
That’s right!
The man in front of him has already comprehended the perfect level of artistic conception!
Yang Qi finally understood why the other party did not change at all when he saw his powerful sword intent. Although his sword intent was only one step away from the perfect level, this step was a chasm.
Facing the perfect level of sword intent, Yang Qi was directly injured by the sword!
"Middle stage of eight-star martial master, sword intent is perfect!"
Yang Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. His achievements in artistic conception had already surpassed his peers, but compared to the man in front of him, he was still far behind.
The man looked at the surprised Yang Qi and said calmly, "Don't be surprised. The Star Pavilion has existed for more than tens of millions of years. There are countless practitioners who have passed the seventh floor of the Star Tower. It is common to achieve a perfect state of mind."
Hearing the man's words, Yang Qi was stunned at first, then a bitter smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he finally understood the difficulty of the seventh floor of the Star Tower!
In terms of the foundation of Xingchen Pavilion, it is probably not much stronger than the forces behind Wang Yu and others that gave birth to the Martial Emperor realm. It is good enough to have a genius like Wang Yu among the same generation.
but…
The Star Pavilion has existed for tens of millions of years. If we count the number of geniuses of the same generation every two hundred years, there are a total of 50,000 rounds. If there is one genius in each round, there are 50,000 geniuses at the same level as Wang Yu!
Even if there is one cultivator who can comprehend the perfect level of artistic conception among a thousand of these geniuses, there will be fifty of them. And according to Zhu Xuan, starting from the seventh floor of the Star Tower, the cultivators who pass through will leave their consciousness behind!
And what are the requirements for passing
It was the gatekeeper of the seventh floor who was defeated.
In other words, the man in front of him should be the number one genius in the Star Pavilion in millions of years to pass the seventh floor of the Star Tower!
Even though he was just a genius of the same generation, he was the number one in tens of millions of years. Not to mention having the combat power of a peak Martial Honor, even if he had the combat power of a half-step Martial King, Yang Qi would not find it strange at all!
Although Yang Qi was confident that he was no less than his peers, he still had some self-awareness when competing with the number one genius in the cultivation force that had produced a martial emperor in tens of millions of years. If he were allowed to practice for another few decades, he would not be afraid of the other party, but now he was definitely not the other party's opponent!
Looking at Yang Qi who looked desperate, the man suddenly smiled and said, "You don't have to feel desperate. Although I defeated the previous gatekeepers, what I left behind was only a trace of consciousness. Even if I exert my peak strength, I can't exert my peak combat power."
Hearing this, Yang Qi was stunned at first, and then he understood what the man meant.
That’s right, the man was indeed the first person to pass the seventh floor of the Star Tower in tens of millions of years, but what Yang Qi was facing now was not the man himself, but an energy body!
Without pseudo-Tao soldiers, he cannot perform secret techniques. To put it bluntly, the man now has only his normal combat power, or even worse, because he is an energy body and does not have pseudo-Tao soldiers!
If facing the man himself, Yang Qi naturally has no chance of winning, but if facing an energy body that is not as strong as the man's normal condition, he still has some chance of winning!
Yang Qi did not attack immediately, but asked curiously, "How much strength do you have under normal circumstances now?"
Hearing this, the man was slightly stunned. He obviously didn't expect Yang Qi to ask such a question. However, he pondered for a moment before saying, "About 70%!"
"Seventy percent?"
Yang Qi's pupils shrank. He could be easily hurt with only 70% of his combat power. Although he did not use the Inscriptionless Monument for defense, the strength displayed by the man was definitely beyond the peak of Martial Honor.
And this is only 70% of the man's normal strength. How strong should the man be? Is he half-step martial king in strength
At the middle stage of Eight-Star Martial Lord, one has the combat power of a half-step Martial King. Yang Qi only knew that Lin Qingyu had such strength at the time. Lin Qingyu himself was an exception. He took the path of fusion, which enabled him to possess such powerful combat power.
But the man is obviously not in the path of fusion, but he can have such a terrible fighting power. It is conceivable how strong his talent and potential are. Such a genius, even in the history of all the cultivation worlds that have entered the secret realm, is probably rare!
Looking at the man not far away, Yang Qi's expression became stern, and he said in a deep voice, "It's worth coming here to fight with a genius like you, even if I can't get through the seventh floor of the Star Tower!"
Before he finished speaking, the sword intent in Yang Qi surged wildly, then quickly subsided, and his aura rose rapidly.
"What a wonderful secret method."
Feeling the rapidly rising aura from Yang Qi, the man's pupils shrank, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. (To be continued)
