C735 I Rose to Prominence at the Very End of the World
The world of the Chaos Monument was much more dangerous and more disorderly than the battlefield ruins that Lu Chong had been to before.
Along the way, although Lu Chong had picked up corpses many times and had some gains, he had also suffered quite a few sneak attacks.
Of course, Lu Chong was never soft-hearted towards this kind of person. He suppressed all of them and robbed them instead, and his gains were not small.
In this place, even those from the three great dojos did not have too obvious of an advantage or deterrence.
The powerful wanderers and thieves, as well as many experts from far away Dao Palaces, were not less than those from the three great Dao Palaces.
Everyone came here to cultivate and search for treasures, and no one would give up in the face of opportunities.
However, with Lu Chong's current strength, ordinary cultivators at the Dao Initiation realm were nothing in his eyes and could not bring him any pressure.
His main goal this time was to sharpen his will and break through to the Dao Profound Realm.
Therefore, Lu Chong did not stay for too long. He passed through all the trials and went deep into the hinterlands, searching for the limit that his master spoke of.
It was the limit of the environmental pressure that Lu Chong himself could withstand.
Only by breaking through the limit over and over again could it be possible for his will to transform.
And the world of the Chaotic Dao Tablets could form such a special environment, called the Dao Tablets Road to the Profound.
This place was unlike the Dao Tablets' world of the inner sect, which had already formed a stable and gentle cave environment.
The Dao Tablets here didn't have an owner, so they gradually formed a special environment, which was the Dao Tablet pathway from the inside to the outside.
The cultivators walked towards the Dao tablets step by step along the Dao tablets to challenge their limits. During this time, they would naturally have to endure the pressure from the Dao tablets.
This kind of pressure was aimed at the entire Dao Body of Chaos, so they felt the pressure from all directions.
The process of challenging one's own limits was also extremely painful, and there was even the risk of being crushed to death.
Lu Chong had a personal feeling right now.
After he went thousands of miles deep into the Dao Pillar world, he finally found the Profound Opening Road that brought him extreme pressure, and felt the pressure from the Dao Pillar.
That kind of all-round pressure that targeted the body, mind and energy was extremely torturous.
However, the aura of the Dao in this place was also extremely dense, almost the same as Lu Chong's cave in the inner sect.
It was a pity that before he broke through to the Dao Profound Realm, his comprehension of the Dao was also difficult to improve.
Lu Chong also discovered that there were quite a few peak Dao Initiation realm cultivators on the Profound Opening Road who were in a similar situation as him. They were all withstanding the huge pressure here as they advanced step by step, breaking through their limits.
Most of the people were in the front than him, but there was someone else who was behind them, moving forward with great difficulty.
"As expected, it doesn't have much to do with the comprehension of Dao or the cultivation of Dao. I can only rely on my willpower to force my way through." Lu Chong secretly analyzed.
Those who dared to step onto the Dao Tablet Profound Opening Road were all people who had reached the peak of the Dao Initiation realm, those who wanted to challenge him and break through to the Dao Profound Realm.
Lu Chong was sure that most of the Dao Initiation realm cultivators here weren't as strong as him, especially when it came to Dao Arts.
But now, it seemed that there were so many people walking in front of him. This proved that their wills were stronger than his.
Using Dao Arts to protect oneself here was useless, because the pressure brought about by the Dao tablets was formless and without substance. It was impossible to resist, so one could only endure.
"It's also this kind of environment that is most suitable for tempering one's will." Lu Chong thought to himself. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and endured the torture from the outside to the inside.
"I can only rely on myself."
Only by continuously strengthening his willpower could he be able to move forward step by step and endure greater and greater pressure and torture.
According to what Elder Chang Ming had said, the tempering on the road to the Common Mysterious was still relatively controllable, and the risk of death was relatively low.
The other way to break through was to challenge experts, and it had to be a deathmatch in real life.
There was a saying that there was a great fear between life and death. If one could experience many life-and-death battles without being defeated, defeat the fear, and establish an invincible belief, there might be a higher chance of breaking through.
But at the same time, the mortality rate of this kind of life and death challenge would increase greatly because the person who you were going to challenge had to be a strong man who was at the same level as you.
On the line between life and death, anyone would be able to stimulate all of their potential. Nobody had the confidence to say that they were the one who would survive in the end.
Even with Lu Chong's current foundation in Tao, he didn't dare guarantee that he would be able to live for the rest of his life.
Elder Chang Ming also mentioned a statistical statistic that on average, only those who survived over a hundred life and death battles would be able to break through to the Dao Profound Realm in the end.
In other words, in a life and death challenge, there was only a 1% chance of survival.
Who could guarantee that they would be that one percent?
Lu Chong did want to break through to Dao Profound, but he was not courting death, and there was no need for him to step on someone else's corpse to break through.
"Let's see if I can get what I want here."
Lu Chong gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step. His face was already a little sinister.
That kind of invisible and ubiquitous torture was truly an unprecedented challenge.
However, he was not a spoiled second generation, but instead, he rose up from the bottom step by step, killing his way out of a low level civilization in the secondary universe, and finally rushed out of the universe and entered the grassroots of chaos.
He had experienced many life and death situations, and his willpower had also been tested over and over again. It had been tempered into steel.
Therefore, even the pressure on the path to the Mystic Light Realm wasn't enough to crush him. It only made him more and more determined to become stronger.
Three days later, he had surpassed the first person, and he was still steadily moving forward.
Five days later, he had passed the second person, but he still didn't stop.
His face became more and more twisted, but his will became more and more firm.
More and more people were surpassed by him one by one, and they were all looking at him with admiration and surprise.
Days passed like years, Lu Chong persisted for more than a year. Step by step, he moved forward more than three hundred kilometers, and his eyes went from firm to sharp, and then gradually became peaceful.
It was as if he had already completely adapted to this rhythm, and treated that kind of pressure and torture as a habit and instinct.
However, only Lu Chong himself knew that he had already passed through his limit several times, and was once again approaching his new limit.
He felt that at any moment, he could break his heartstrings and fail.
"I have to stop and rest." Lu Chong sighed.
Too much was just as bad as not enough. If he continued walking, he was worried that he would break down too soon.
At this moment, there were only a dozen or so people in front of him.
Behind him, nearly a thousand experts at the peak of the Dao Initiation Stage had already been surpassed by him.
"Where on earth can I go to change my will?" Lu Chong sat cross-legged on the spot. As he relaxed his mind, he looked forward to the turn of events.2
Although he could feel that his will was becoming stronger and stronger, Lu Chong still did not feel the opportunity to transform.
Moreover, in the past year, no one had seen anyone's will transform and break through to the Dao Profound Realm on this road to the Profound Opening Realm.
This step seemed to be even more difficult than he had expected.
