The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 431: Second Floor of Zhenzun Tower

Along with the integration of the Dielang sword intent, the three sword energies quickly overlapped, and in an instant burst out a sword light that was no less powerful than the projection.

Just when Li Hao thought he could defeat the enemy with one sword, suddenly, the projection also swung out three sword energies, also incorporating the sword intent of the Dielang Sword into it. In an instant, the sword light surged and illuminated the entire world.

Li Hao was stunned, his pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately sensed that the challenge of this Zhenzun Tower was difficult.

Whoosh!
He dodged hurriedly, but the terrifying sword broke through his sword energy and followed.

He teleported back to the abyss instantly, but the projected eyes seemed to see the path he took, and the sword light chased after him.

Li Hao dodged in a panic and narrowly avoided the sword energy, but the projection followed Guixu and chased after him.

"break!"

Li Hao suddenly turned around and attacked.

The projection reacted extremely quickly and slashed with the sword in an instant. Although the sword was drawn in a hurry, the overwhelming force still easily broke Li Hao's charged attack.

Whoosh.

The projection did not stop. After breaking through Li Hao's sword light, it immediately chased after him rapidly.

Li Hao immediately understood why Master Wang said it was difficult to achieve enlightenment here. The attack of this projection never stopped. Unless one really hits a bottleneck and gains some understanding, it is possible to achieve enlightenment in such a fierce fight.

Moreover, if the improvement in strength after enlightenment is not obvious, it will be difficult to reverse even if enlightenment occurs.

The difference in power of two times is a leap of half a major realm.

Li Hao did not fight back, but chose to avoid the battle and observe the attack weaknesses of the projection.

“Although this True Venerable Tower Challenge is a test, it also seems to be a form of training!”

Li Hao understood in his heart.

This is a great opportunity to look within yourself.

At this moment, the performance of this projection may be more perfect than my own, but everything has its imperfections and flaws. If I can make up for them, then perhaps that is the real intention of the test, and it will allow me to improve my own strength to a higher level.

However, even though Li Hao was avoiding the fight at this moment, he was finding it extremely difficult.

"Strength, speed, and agility are all doubled!"

"It's faster. I can use all the body movements and projections I know, and with the difference of twice the strength, I can use them more freely!"

"but……"

Li Hao dodged desperately and used the Return to the Abyss teleportation repeatedly. The star veins of the sky surrounded him. Although his body movement was at the ninth level and was surpassed by the projection, with almost infinite energy, he could still squeeze out a little breathing space by continuously using the Return to the Abyss teleportation.

"The power of the end, this projection has not been enhanced!"

Li Hao gradually observed the situation of this projection and found that the power of the star veins in the sky had not been enhanced.

The end... seems to be the ultimate.

Even the most precious treasure of immortality used by the Immortal Emperor to select his disciples cannot project a power that transcends the ultimate realm!

"If one can cultivate all realms to the final stage, then the challenge of the True Venerable Tower... is it equivalent to no enhancement, just a fight between oneself and oneself?"

Li Hao thought in his heart.

But that situation is too ideal and too far away for him at the moment. It is extremely difficult to cultivate to the final realm. It is rare to be able to cultivate to the final realm. Li Hao estimates that only the Immortal Emperor level existence can cultivate to the final realm.

Now, apart from the star veins in the sky, the only thing that surpassed Li Hao's power was the strength of the other realms.

boom!
Suddenly, the projection's body swelled and performed the magic of heaven and earth!

At the same time, the Dharma image of heaven and earth slowly emerged behind it. Surrounding the Dharma image of heaven and earth were the Dharma images of saints, like phantoms, transmitting an endless amount of holy power to the Dharma image of heaven and earth.

Li Hao's face changed slightly, and without any hesitation, he performed them at the same time.

Soon, two towering figures stood in this vast world, and a war broke out.

Li Hao burst out with all his strength and fought with the projection.

The power of the Dharma images that erupted from each other was almost equal. Li Hao was pleasantly surprised, as this meant that his Dharma image of heaven and earth seemed to have also reached the final state.

"Kendo, the projected Kendo power is too strong. Although it is still at the tenth level, it is stronger than my sword intent."

After a brief fight, Li Hao was still defeated and could only dodge.

Fortunately, the ultimate state of Guixu maintained by the star veins of the sky and the uninterrupted teleportation enabled him to hold on.

Even though the projection's body speed was twice as fast as his own, it was still unable to break through the boundary of Guixu.

"Unfortunately, this test requires defeating the projection. If it was just a matter of enduring the time, I could pass it in one try."

Li Hao said in his heart.

While dodging again and again, he continued to observe the projected attack, but the more he watched, the more frightened he became, as he could not find any flaws.

Am I this strong on weekdays? Li Hao was speechless, not knowing whether to be happy or smile bitterly.

After a stick of incense.

Li Hao still couldn't find the flaw in the projection, and couldn't find a chance to counterattack. He felt puzzled and distressed.

If one embeds the extraordinary chess mind that one has just realized into the art of physical training, one would certainly have a chance to turn defeat into victory, but this is still a bit of cheating.

Apart from this method, it is really difficult to defeat this projection.

"But since the Immortal Emperor has set up such a test, there must be someone who can pass it. Moreover, this test is just to become the other party's registered disciple. It is too exaggerated that he cannot pass the test of a registered disciple..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he suppressed the thought of using his extraordinary chess mind, wanting to try again on his own.

As he dodged continuously, Li Hao saw the projection using various means to chase and block him, but to no avail.

Suddenly, he began to think, the projection was so powerful, but it couldn't kill him, it was because he had the veins of the stars in the sky, the energy was almost infinite, which allowed him to rest uninterruptedly in the Guixu realm. If it were someone else, they would have been drained long ago.

"In my eyes, this projection is difficult to deal with. If it is from the perspective of the projection, perhaps I am even more difficult to deal with now. It is more powerful than me, but it cannot kill me..."

Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he slowly began to examine himself, determined to take advantage of his own advantages.

He suddenly thought of the previous chess game with Wang Lao.

Mr. Wang's chess skills are extremely high, obviously better than his. Even though Li Hao is now a tenth-dan chess player, when he looks back at Mr. Wang's chess skills, he feels that the opponent is not at the tenth-dan level, but at a higher level.

The previous victory was due to Wang Lao's contempt and the bet that he would not be able to see the flaw.

If they fight again, Li Hao still has no confidence of winning.

And the previous victory... was also because Li Hao used his limited strength to launch a charge.

When you are weaker than your opponent and want to defeat the strong with the weak, you must concentrate on one point and burst out with all your strength!

For this, everything else must be abandoned and cast aside!

"My advantage lies in my star veins..."

"It is the ultimate power of the Star Veins that has allowed me to hold on until now. Since the power is infinite, then..."

"Fighting is also a layout, swinging the sword is like dropping a chess piece..."

Li Hao's eyes flashed. For a moment, although he was fleeing in a panic, he felt a sudden peace and tranquility in his heart.

He suddenly increased the speed of his Guixu teleportation again, continuously flashing in the void.

The projection also burst out at full speed to catch up, but even though the sword intent was extremely fast and powerful, it was useless as it couldn't touch Li Hao.

As the flashes continued, Li Hao's movements gradually changed. If one looked down from the sky, one would find that the route of Li Hao's teleportation back to the ruins was not chaotic, but gradually became regular and formed a pattern!
It is a painting, and likewise, it is also a chess game.

The path was stained with the sword energy left by Li Hao along the way. As he continued to teleport back to the abyss, more and more sword energy remained. When Li Hao stepped out of the Guixu teleportation again, he stood in the center of the chessboard.

He uses himself as the chess piece to construct the chess game, forming a terrifying sword formation!

"burst!"

Li Hao did not continue to run away. Instead, he suddenly turned around, stared at the projection, and suddenly burst out with all his strength. His divine blood burned violently, and the heart in his chest burned like a raging flame, beating violently.

As his sword slashed out, thousands of sword energies gathered from the void, condensing and blending together, and all of this exploded in an instant.

The projection had a strong desire to attack. Li Hao remembered Wang Lai saying so. He also saw this from his observations along the way. This was also the reason why the projection made the challenger miserable. There was no chance to breathe, but at the same time... an advantage was also a weakness. Having was also nothing!

This happens to be the weakness of this projection!

When facing Li Hao's sword attack, the projection's first move was not to flee or dodge, but to counterattack and crush him with a more violent attack! But this time, tens of thousands of sword energies condensed, and in an instant, the sword light burst out by Li Hao's sword, led to the burst of thousands of sword energies, and its terrifying and fierce power instantly overshadowed the sword light of the projection.

Li Hao would like to call this sword the strongest!
Bang!
In an instant, the projected sword light shattered, and his body was submerged in the sword light, and shattered in an instant. At the moment the projection was shattered, Li Hao's soul rushed out, drawing the remaining power of the sword, and directly shattered the projected soul!

Between heaven and earth, the sword intent dissipated.

It was like a gust of wind blowing, ruffling Li Hao's hair, and the world became quiet, with only Li Hao's own breathing remaining.

He looked at the shattered and dissipated projection, feeling a little dazed and a little unbelievable. He had succeeded!
Without the help of extraordinary chess mind, he relied only on pure combat perception to find a way out of this invincible danger.

"carefree!"

Li Hao couldn't help laughing. For the first time, he felt the joy of fighting, which was as exciting as playing chess.

At this time, where the projection disappeared, a vortex emerged in the void, and there was a door in the distance.

The challenge is over, is it time to go out?

Li Hao smiled and untied the Fa Tian Xiang Di. His body returned to its original state, his breath was restrained, and many extreme powers slowly sank into his body.

At this moment, waves of mental fatigue came over him. Although the star veins in the sky could bring Li Hao inexhaustible power, the fierce battle just now brought him mental fatigue that he needed to relieve by himself. Fortunately, his soul was extremely strong and his mental strength far exceeded the saint level, otherwise the tiredness at this moment alone would be enough to make him fall asleep.

After resting for a while, Li Hao walked towards the vortex door.

Soon, my body felt weightless, as if I had stepped into an abyss.

Not long after, light appeared in front of his eyes again, and the blocked perception was also released.

Li Hao looked and thought he saw the people outside the tower, but he was suddenly stunned.

In front of him at this moment was a dark and majestic palace. It was surrounded by pitch black, as if it was cast in iron walls, and the light was dim.

And in front of him was a purple glowing pillar!

On the pillar, purple light flashed by like an earthworm, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like the lines of some avenue.

Li Hao looked around and saw a faint light coming in from not far away. There were several windowless gaps.

He soared into the air and looked out into the empty space, seeing the vast plain in the distance and the gigantic palace that reached into the sky.

On the other side, Li Hao saw many cushions in the distance and people sitting on them.

But at this moment, many of them stood up and stretched their heads to stare over here.

Among them, Li Hao also saw Wang Lao, who was standing in the air above everyone, also watching here quietly.

When his eyes met Wang Lao's, Wang Lao had a dazed expression on his face, and was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise and shock in his eyes.

"I'm still in the tower?"

When Li Hao saw this scene, he also determined his current location, which was still in the Zhenzun Tower.

Could this pillar in front of me be the door for teleportation?
It seemed that Mr. Wang didn’t tell me how to get out after the challenge. Maybe he thought it was too simple and didn’t need more explanation?
Li Hao looked around and saw nothing else, so the answer was obvious.

He came to the pillar, took a closer look, and found that there was indeed spatial power on it, which was generally used in teleportation.

He raised his hand and touched it, pulling with the force of Taoism, and drawing the force of Taoism in the space above.

Soon, a suction force came from the pillar, dragging Li Hao's body in.

Whoosh!
When Li Hao opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the vast world.

However, what was different from before was that the pillar that I had just seen was also suspended in the air, standing tall and majestic.

While Li Hao was stunned, the dark purple light on the pillar quickly gathered and concentrated at a point in front of the pillar, then slowly condensed and turned into a figure.

That figure looked exactly like Li Hao and was obviously a projection.

"...?"

Li Hao was a little dumbfounded. What was going on?
Doesn’t the challenge just now count?
At this moment, before he could think too much, the projection, after condensing, bowed slightly to Li Hao and made a gesture of invitation, and seemed to suddenly burst out with terrifying power.

A brilliant golden light burst out, and a head of silver hair flew. The projection's power surged and rose steadily. Under Li Hao's shocked gaze, it became stronger and more terrifying than before!
If the power was only twice his own before, then now, the power of this projection is at least five times!
This five times is not the five times of an ordinary saint, but the five times of Li Hao himself, which is extremely exaggerated.

If there were any ancient demon from the real fairyland here, he would be killed instantly by this projection!

Even if it was a group of ancient demons, they would probably be killed instantly!

Li Hao was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?

Before he could curse, the projection in front of him had already rushed over.

Whoosh!
Li Hao dodged instinctively and teleported to the extreme state of Guixu.

But at this time, the projection directly brought out the power of heaven and earth, instantly cutting off Guixu. The powerful force forced Li Hao out of Guixu's teleportation.

Afterwards, the projection instantly condensed a force of power from heaven and earth and transformed into a huge sword beam. Before Li Hao could react, it had already arrived in front of him and fell down in an instant.

Bang!
As expected, Li Hao felt his body shattered. In addition, a terrifying spiritual power attacked him and crushed his soul in an instant.

The world dies.

Darkness appeared in front of Li Hao's eyes, but a hint of light gradually became clearer in the darkness.

The light came from behind. Li Hao turned around and saw that the tower door he had stepped into earlier was only a few steps away from him.

He seemed to have always been standing here, and everything that had just happened was just a nightmare.

Li Hao was in a trance for a moment, but his mind was full of questions. He looked at the deep darkness in front of him and vaguely felt that there was a force restricting him from moving forward, but in that darkness, there was a dim purple light, like the light flashing on the pillar he had seen before.

Li Hao scratched his head, turned around and walked out of the door. If he had any questions, he would go to Wang Lao and he would always get the answers.

At the cushions, everyone saw the door of the Zhenzun Pagoda open. Not long after, Li Hao walked out from inside. He seemed to be shaking his head, with a look of helplessness and confusion. When everyone saw this, they all felt as if the heart that had been hanging in their hearts had finally died.

Someone has been timing the time since Li Hao entered until now, and the incense stick has already burned out!

It was his first time in there, but he was able to stay there for so long, which almost made them doubt whether Li Hao had passed the level in there.

If Mingsheng and Musheng had not said that they would directly fight with the projection after entering and would not be able to delay time at all, they would have suspected that Li Hao was visiting inside.

"Finally it's out. This has been too long. Who still keeps track of time?"

“It’s almost two incense sticks!”

"..."

When they heard the time announced by Dong Dao, everyone was speechless.

Lin Sheng stared at the young man who was flying towards him, looking back every three steps, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes. At this moment, he still remembered not long ago, when he challenged the Zhenzun Tower, the other party was sitting there playing chess, and didn't pay any attention to him at all, acting as if he didn't care. At that time, he felt dissatisfied and disdainful in his heart, but at this moment, he felt a feeling of humiliation in his heart.

"It takes three years to pass the first test. This True Venerable Tower... Can he pass it in a few years?"

Luo Sheng whispered, with disbelief and a hint of confusion in his voice.

If that's the case, then what are they working hard for?
Compared to these monsters, it’s better to just lie down.

Luo Sheng's words also made the corners of the other saints' mouths twitch slightly.

They have worked hard here for tens of thousands of years, but in the end, it was all in vain?

It seems a bit difficult to race with this kind of guy.

Mu Sheng and Ming Sheng had gloomy faces as they stared at the young man, anger and murderous intent revealed in their eyes, but they quickly subsided.

They knew that if they really did something under Wang Lao's nose, the outcome would be even more tragic.

But...is this Immortal Emperor's lineage going to be handed over to someone else?

While the two men's faces were changing, Li Hao also returned to the cushion. When he was several hundred meters away from the Zhenzun Tower, he saw the tower door closed automatically.

At this moment, Li Hao looked at the people on the cushions and saw that Hua Sheng and You Sheng controlled their complicated expressions and smiled at him. Li Hao also responded with a smile, knowing that they had no other thoughts.

Just as he sensed several hidden murderous auras, they quickly disappeared. Li Hao knew that his sharpness might have caused other people to have bad intentions. Being too sharp will inevitably cause people to be concerned. This is the law of all things and no one can avoid it.

However, with the support of Mr. Wang and his own strength, he is not afraid of other people's intentions.

After all, it doesn't matter what his heart is. If there are clues, don't blame him for being ruthless.

"You kid..."

When Wang Lao saw Li Hao coming, there was a hint of complexity in his eyes and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
