Feng Gouhun was somewhat moved when he saw Lin Caogen huddled up on the 80th floor!
Over the years, he has seen too many Phoenix Clan disciples come to the Phoenix Tower Soul Tempering Platform for training!
Each member of the Phoenix Clan can come to this Soul Tempering Platform once every thousand years! Some do it to temper their soul power, while others do it to cultivate a Nirvana Heart, which can be formed every 100,000 years!
The last person to reach the top and have their heart plucked was that girl Feng Xueyan! After all, she had already reached the peak of the 9th level of cultivation 100,000 years ago, only one step away from the Emperor level! With her strength at that time, it would have been difficult for her to withstand the repulsive force released by these 108 steps, but she wouldn't have suffered the pain of being torn apart by five horses!
However, Lin Caogen is only 42 years old this year! Although his body has been strengthened by the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique, he is only at the early stage of the fourth rank! His soul power has only reached the middle stage of the third rank today! His internal strength is even weaker, only at the peak of the second rank! Such strength is comparable to that of a weakling in the Phoenix Clan! But it is this weakling strength that has miraculously climbed to the top of the 80-step staircase!
Feng Gouhun even suspected that Lin Caogen had broken his pain nerves when he was thrown into the oil pan!
"No! If this continues, my body will fall apart! The repulsive force on these 80 steps is constantly tearing at my cells! My cell walls are about to rupture, my mitochondria are about to break! Even my ribonucleic acid chains are about to break! If I go up one more step, I'll surely die! But who knows when I'll be able to challenge this Phoenix Tower again after my cultivation level has improved! This time, I'm an outsider. I only got to this Phoenix Tower because of the influence of the Qingqiu Empress Bai Zhi. Without Bai Zhi, who would recognize me, Lin Caogen? Who would even consider me a human being!?"
Thinking of this, a monstrous sword intent suddenly erupted from Lin Caogen's body!
As soon as this sword intent was unleashed, Feng Gouhun was so startled that he broke out in a sweat formed from his immortal essence!
The repulsive force on the Soul Tempering Platform had weakened by three points!
Lin Caogen felt much more comfortable in his body, which was about to be torn apart. His body shrank back a few millimeters like a stretched spring!
"So comfortable! Just now! Could it be that the sword intent was suppressing the repulsive force of this Soul Tempering Platform? Sword intent! Yes, it's sword intent!"
Lin Caogen immediately realized what was happening!
Yao Mengchen had told him that the World-Destroying Sword Scripture was an unparalleled sword scripture created by a powerful human being! This sword scripture consisted of forty-nine volumes, each comparable to a high-level Heavenly Rank Immortal Technique! If someone could fully comprehend all forty-nine volumes of the World-Destroying Sword Scripture, its power would be no less than that of a divine technique! Especially since his brain was now at least ninety percent developed, comprehending the World-Destroying Sword Scripture would be easier for him, and he might even be able to elevate the scripture to a higher level!
Why can't I use my sword intent to counter the powerful repulsive force released by the Soul Tempering Platform?
Feng Gouhun stared at Lin Caogen for a long time, and then revealed a hint of admiration!
The sword intent of the human race is profound and complex, far beyond the comprehension of demonic beasts!
This is why humans are the most intelligent of all beings! Even though their bodies and souls are inferior to those of demonic beasts, with their indomitable spirit and tireless pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts, the human race still holds a place in this vast universe! And they are in no way inferior to the demonic beasts!
Some human emperors are physically weak and their souls are extremely fragile! However, with their inner strength and understanding of martial arts, there are many who can kill demon emperors and demon lords with a single move!
Such a person has mastered and cultivated internal strength and martial arts to the extreme!
Anything, if done to the extreme, will undergo a qualitative change!
Suddenly, the image of the "Suppressing Scripture" of the World-Destroying Sword Scripture that Yao Mengchen had once taught him flashed through Lin Caogen's mind!
Suppress! Suppress all things! One sword to suppress mountains and rivers! One sword to suppress the vast ocean! One sword to suppress the universe! Suppress all things, I alone am supreme!
Lin Caogen gained a deeper understanding of the Suppressing Scripture on this Soul Tempering Platform!
Many things I didn't understand before suddenly make perfect sense now!
Lin Caogen then pulled the Dragon Sword directly from his robes!
With a forceful pull, the divine sword is drawn!
Lin Caogen gripped the Dragon Sword tightly with both hands and plunged it into the steps beneath his feet!
A powerful sword intent from the Scripture-Suppressing Scroll was released! The repulsive force on the entire Soul-Tempering Platform was reduced by eighty or ninety percent!
Feng Gouhun stared intently at Lin Caogen!
"Is this the sword intent of the human race? Although I have followed the Demon God to human territory before, I have never fought against a human emperor, let alone seen such a powerful sword intent! This kid! He can actually comprehend such a powerful sword intent! He can be considered to possess three divine skills! This child's future is limitless. As long as he doesn't die, he will surely become a god!"
At this moment! Feng Gouhun put aside his previous contempt for Lin Caogen, and began to admire the middle-aged man in front of him! This man was only in his forties, an existence like an infant in the Demon Realm, yet he was able to stand firmly on the 80th floor of the Soul Tempering Platform with powerful sword intent, which was truly remarkable!
Lin Caogen forcefully pulled out the Dragon Sword, exerted force with both arms, and thrust the sword down towards the 81st step!
After comprehending the Suppressing Scripture, Lin Caogen's powerful suppressing sword intent was poured into the Dragon Sword, which could amplify the sword intent that Lin Caogen had comprehended several times over!
The repulsive force on the eighty-first level of the Soul Tempering Platform is reduced by 88%.
Lin Caogen stepped up and actually reached the 99th floor of the Soul Tempering Platform!
Reaching this level signifies that Lin Caogen has reached the pinnacle of the ninth level of the Phoenix Tower! If he ascends another level, he will enter the void space! There, the remnant soul of the Demon God Phoenix Dances Nine Heavens resides!
Even Feng Gouhun looked incredulous when he saw Lin Caogen reach the top of the 99th floor of the Soul Tempering Platform!
"Unbelievable! Even the spirit of my Phoenix Tower can misjudge things! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
Lin Caogen used his powerful sword intent to suppress the repulsive force of the Soul Tempering Platform, and actually climbed to the 99th floor in one fell swoop! Moreover, as he continued to climb, his understanding of the Suppressing Scripture deepened! Even more gratifying was that Lin Caogen's soul power actually directly broke through to the peak of the 3rd rank. If he could reach the 108th floor, he might be able to break through to the 4th rank and become a 4th rank Soul Master!
