46: The First Dharma

At this moment.

Inside the Heavenly Tower.

Chen Qingfeng had already passed through the eleven flights of stairs and arrived at the twelfth floor of the Heavenly Tower.

The twelfth floor!

Peak Core Formation Realm!

More than thirty Clones of Chen Qingfeng, all at the Peak Core Formation Realm!

Such combat power, let alone facing an ordinary Golden Core Realm Cultivator, would even make it quite difficult for Chen Qingfeng's true body to fight them.

"Dustless Sword Art!"

"First Sword!"

"Soulless—"

...

"Dustless Sword Art!"

"Second Sword!"

"Peerless—"

...

"Dustless Sword Art!"

"Third Sword!"

"Masterless—"

...

"Dustless Sword Art!"

"Fourth Sword!"

"Boundless—"

...

"Dustless Sword Art!"

"Fifth Sword!"

"Absolute—"

...

"Dustless Sword Art!"

"Sixth Sword!"

"Nether—"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than thirty figures.

Accompanied by more than thirty sword shadows falling.

The endless sword edges were like continuous, surging waterfalls, striking fiercely one after another against Chen Qingfeng's shield.

Even though Chen Qingfeng had unleashed his seventh-tier Sword Domain, facing such a number of sword intents and attacks still made his body tremble, and the Sword Domain beneath his feet showed faint signs of instability.

"Law, Heaven, Image, Earth!"

"First Manifestation!"

"Rise—"

Boom!!!

"Law, Heaven, Image, Earth!"

"Second Manifestation!"

"Rise again—"

Boom!!!

Two more shouts.

Among the more than thirty Clones at the Peak Core Formation Realm, some instantly activated the Manifestations of Law, Heaven, Image, Earth.

In an instant.

Two giant figures, like towering mountains, suddenly descended into the Heavenly Tower.

One was three zhang tall.

One head.

Two arms!

The other was six zhang tall!

Two heads!

Four arms!

With the birth of these two Manifestations, the entire twelfth floor of the Heavenly Tower seemed to have no extra space.

"Crack—Snap—"

Chen Qingfeng's seventh-tier Sword Domain completely shattered.

It barely lasted even a second under the powerful attacks of these two Manifestations.

"Is he finally unable to hold on?"

"To rely on merely a Late-stage Core Formation Realm cultivation and climb all the way to the twelfth floor, the Peak Core Formation Realm, and still face more than thirty times the difficulty—this is already incredibly abnormal!"

"However…"

"If he can only hold on until the twelfth floor, it seems he can only open the second layer of the Earth Vein Forbidden Ground, not the fourth!"

Outside the Heavenly Tower.

Above the Altar of Heaven.

Countless Disciples of the Tianyi Sect all looked at Chen Qingfeng on the twelfth floor, unable to help but discuss in hushed tones.

Is he going to give up?

He should be giving up, right!

After all.

Chen Qingfeng's own cultivation was originally only at the Late-stage Core Formation Realm.

Facing more than thirty of his own Clones, all with the same combat power at the Peak Core Formation Realm, if he doesn't give up, he probably has no hope of passing!

"Still struggling?"

"With your meager cultivation and limited ability, you still want to pass the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Tower, fully obtain the more than thirty Heaven's Pride Marks from the Heaven's Pride Ranking, and open the fourth layer of the Earth Vein?"

"Don't even think about it, give up!"

"You are not worthy of passing the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Tower, nor are you worthy of obtaining the more than thirty Heaven's Pride Ranking Marks, and even less worthy of entering the fourth layer of the Earth Vein Forbidden Ground!"

"You are an ant! Ants should hide discreetly underground and never come out into the light of day to show their faces!"

Inside the Heavenly Tower.

Chen Qingfeng's figure continuously retreated.

In front of him.

Were endless streams of Dustless Sword intent.

Beside him.

Were Manifestations, constantly swinging their arms, squeezing his space to dodge.

His more than thirty Clones, at this moment, were like more than thirty villains, wantonly sneering, attacking, and mocking him.

"I give up your mother!!!"

Law, Heaven, Image, Earth!

First Manifestation!

Open—

Boom!

Instantly.

As Chen Qingfeng let out a roar, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from his eyes.

Chen Qingfeng's figure began to gradually grow larger.

His height continuously increased.

His arms became muscular.

His legs became thick.

Even his head began to gradually become ferocious and terrifying.

Until…

When his entire body reached a height of more than three zhang.

"Bang—"

Chen Qingfeng struck out with a palm, directly shattering more than a dozen of his own Clones.

"This is?"

"A true Incarnation?"

"How is it somewhat different from an external Incarnation!"

"Is it a Manifestation?"

"But Manifestations are great Divine Abilities of powerful Cultivators, how could they be accessible at the Core Formation Realm? Moreover, once a Manifestation appears, it almost takes the form of heaven and earth, so how could it be such a small one?"

They were dumbfounded.

Looking at Chen Qingfeng inside the Heavenly Tower, everyone around the Altar of Heaven Square was momentarily stunned.

"Still hiding!"

"This kid is still hiding!"

"From the very beginning, during the challenges with the Disciples of the three major Peaks, to now entering the twelfth floor of the Heavenly Tower, he still hasn't been forced to reveal all his methods?"

He Qianqiu was dumbfounded.

The various Peak Masters and Elders of the surrounding Peaks also couldn't help but gasp repeatedly.

They had been fighting for so long.

Even Lu Xuanzong, the Peak Master of Eight Treasures Peak, had been defeated.

This guy.

Still had trump cards?

Heaven-Defying!

Terrifying!

Abnormal!

Horrifying!

Besides these words, they could barely think of any other words to describe this Chen Qingfeng.

The twelfth floor was passed!

It was not easy!

Right now.

There were still six floors in the entire Heavenly Tower!

Up until now, for Chen Qingfeng, the real challenge had only just begun!

"Chen Qingfeng—"

"Enough!!!"

"Any higher and it will be the Golden Core Realm; that's more than thirty of you at the Golden Core Realm. You should know how terrifying you would be at the Golden Core Realm!"

"If this continues, you really might die!"

Outside the Tower.

It was Su Meier's cry.

At this moment, she no longer cared about the thousands of Sect Disciples gathered around, nor the Peak Masters and Elders of the various Peaks present.

She only wanted Chen Qingfeng to give up continuing the challenge.

She only wanted Chen Qingfeng to live!

"But, I haven't obtained the Heaven's Pride Ranking Mark yet, and I haven't opened the fourth layer of the Earth Vein Forbidden Ground!"

"I need to go to the Forbidden Ground to get the life soul grass!"

"I need to help my Martial Aunt recover her cultivation!!!"

His voice was a murmur.

Chen Qingfeng stood tall and proud, raising his head, almost without a single trace of hesitation, and once again stepped onto the stairs leading to the thirteenth floor!

"Martial Aunt?"

"Is it that woman from Xiao You Peak, who was abducted by Zhang Dazhi more than ten years ago?"

"She's still alive?"

"Still on Xiao You Peak?"

For a moment.

Hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, the Peak Masters and Elders of the various Peaks couldn't help but look at each other, seeing a strong hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

So.

He was so persistent, risking his life to enter the Earth Vein Forbidden Ground, all for his Martial Aunt?

For a mere woman with no cultivation, was it worth it?

This guy.

Suddenly made people feel a bit incomprehensible.

If you say he is arrogant and disrespectful, he would disregard his own life for his Martial Aunt.

But if you say he is upright and respects his teachers, yet he doesn't even spare a glance for the Peak Masters and Elders present, including He Qianqiu, the Sect Master.

"Has anyone here seen that woman?"

Luo Hongchen, her face veiled in red, gazed intently at Chen Qingfeng inside the Heavenly Tower, and suddenly asked the people around her.

[Ding—]

[Luo Hongchen's Affection +3, 3% of Luo Hongchen's deceased husband's cultivation has been returned!]

[Ding—]

[Luo Hongchen's Affection +5, 5% of Luo Hongchen's deceased husband's cultivation has been returned!]

[Ding—]

[Luo Hongchen's Affection +10, 10% of Luo Hongchen's deceased husband's cultivation has been returned!]
