Chapter 529: 0342 I am the record (4k)

In today’s era,

it is understandable that some top-tier Daoist physiques, possessing Divine Weapons, can reverse the course of battle and defeat their enemies.

After all, this has been done even back in the End of Dharma era.

The most famous instance is Lu Chenzhou breaking through the First Rank and reversing to Breakthrough the Second, which made him a sensation overnight.

However, inside the tower, no Divine Weapons other than those you carry can be brought in.

To climb the layers in one attempt, aside from one’s own strength, there are only two ways to use external methods.

One is the extraordinary abilities of the weapon itself, which may include lasting effects for restoring stamina.

The other is consuming some precious endurance-enhancing Great Medicine before entering the tower, which can also provide some improvement.

But Divine abilities of weapons are mostly related to killing, and no one has heard that the Tiger Gall Gun has such extraordinary abilities. As for prolonging endurance by taking medicine, that forcefully awakens the dormant potential of the body, consuming its reserves. For Martial Arts Geniuses with unlimited potential, it is not worth consuming it for a reputation that has no material rewards.

"Lu Chenzhou, has already surpassed the Xuanwu Undying Body!"

"And has exceeded Wutai Mountain’s Xuan Kong, who achieved the Vajra Body."

"Rumor has it he cultivated the Ghost Tiger Dominating Body while also practicing Buddha Dao, and it turns out to be true."

"The most terrifying part is, up until now, he has been using only fist techniques... the times he used a gun were very few."

"Could he be trying to clear 1000 layers in one go?"

"Impossible, right? Many grandmasters couldn’t even find their way."

"But... he is Lu Chenzhou!"

...

After the 900th layer, Lu Chenzhou’s climbing speed significantly slowed down.

Firstly, his stamina was nearing its limit, depleting quickly.

Secondly, the enemies were becoming more difficult to deal with, and their diversity was astonishing to him.

This is the Great Wilderness, where countless tribes stand, their Divine Skills and talents are endless and mutually reinforcing and countering each other.

Since he didn’t know how to counteract them, he could only break through all techniques with sheer force.

If he could rest and adjust his breath after each battle, he had confidence he could directly reach the 2000th layer.

He fought battle after battle, like running a marathon, becoming a numb fighting machine.

In his mind, the leaves of the "Mountain God Demon-Suppressing Fist" were shimmering.

[Inspiration, half the effort for twice the result!]

"Feeling the state? Then let’s fight until the state ends."

Originally, Lu Chenzhou had thought of switching to his gun, but since this was the case, he continued to practice his fists!

The effect of honing his fist technique through high-intensity battles with various races and transcendent systems far surpassed monotonous repetitive fights.

This is the greatest significance of the Star-Picking Tower!

...

The Moon Rabbit hidden, the Golden Crow rises.

At ten in the morning, Lu Chenzhou had been in the Star-Picking Tower for 14 hours. At this moment, his chest heaving like a bellows, he breathed golden breath like dragon fire through his mouth and nose. His blue-gold eyes flickered with crazy battle intent, and the Mountain Lord Fist Blade was inserted into the abdomen of the mermaid girl in front of him, who was covered in white scales. Golden flames spread, enveloping the girl, who turned into ashes.

The Merfolk were once widely distributed in the lakes and seas of the Great Wilderness, and like the Giant Race, were an important force under the Divine Court. The Giants were mighty and valiant, with many serving in the army. The Merfolk men were handsome, and the women were beautiful, bewitched by their singing, often serving as maids to the aristocrats of the Divine Court. The Merfolk palace was located in the land of [Three Thousand Weak Water].

Lu Chenzhou recalled the news he had seen recently:

A fighter in the Caribbean Sea had vaguely heard the singing of mermaids.

It seems that the Merfolk did not go extinct and had also entered the human world along with the power of the water veins.

In the war of civilization, some of those at the bottom still survive to this day.

None of the former rulers have survived, which is a cause for lament.

"The 1000th layer... after finishing this, I can leave."

The inspiration from the Martial Arts Tree dissipated in one night.

The "Mountain God Demon-Suppressing Fist" had already blossomed.

It wouldn’t be long before this Superior True Skill reached Perfection.

The Battle Realm, its reputation is well-deserved.

Stars shifted, and the scene changed.

Lu Chenzhou stood on a vast water surface, with endless lotus leaves.

"After finishing this one, I should also rest, breaking the record is enough."

If he exhausted himself, he could probably reach higher, but there was no need to push to the extreme.

After the 1000th layer, all the enemies were at the same realm as him.

Without the restrictions of the Heavenly Chasm, facing the various tribes of the Great Wilderness, caution is still needed.

If surrounded by the [Soul Eater Worms] without Divine Weapon Armor, relying only on horizontal training and True Qi could still be dangerous.

Melodious flute sounds came from afar, a white-robed man walked leisurely towards him.

The place he stepped on, one after another the Sword Qi solidified, paving the way for him.

Outside, the audience who had stayed up all night were excited, staring intently at the white-robed man.

"He’s here... the most terrifying Gatekeeper of the first 1000 layers, he’s here, the Nameless Sword Cultivator, also known as the [Life-taking Scholar]."

"Up to now, 5 Initial Realm experts have died here, 123 have conceded, countless are stuck at this place."

"Alas, I have a friend who was full of confidence after breaking through the Second Rank to challenge the Life-taking Scholar... and then he never came back."

"Why didn’t he concede?"

"He didn’t have time to concede before his head was cut off by Sword Qi."

"That’s why you should read more guides from the Archaeological Department, climbing the tower is not a game, ordinary people are not Martial Arts Geniuses."

"Actually, the Life-taking Scholar’s strength is just so-so, but he can dodge in the air using Sword Control. To kill him, you have to lure him to the ground with a thunderous method."

Recently, the Star-Picking Forum listed the top ten popular Gatekeepers among the first 5000 layers.

The Life-taking Scholar ranked first by a wide margin, followed by the [Black-clothed Gun Demon] at the 2000th layer.

He might not be the strongest, but the pose of the Sword Immortal left the deepest impression on the martial artists from the lower levels.

As for after the 3000th layer, only Grandmasters could reach there, so the attention wasn’t as high.

...

A fair right hand extended from his robe, the white-robed man formed a seal with one hand, stepping the Heavenly Gang, twelve rotating long sword phantoms appeared clockwise.
