The fourth level was still ten miles wide.
Boom!
On the sea, the windstorm created various tornadoes connecting to the sky. Below, the sea was swept into vortexes, making the waves angry and dangerous.
Not only did Zhang Ruochen use Spiritual Power, he also released all his Holy Qi to wrap around the boat. Finally, he steadied the violently-shaking Truth Boat.
As expected, I received another 1-10,000th of the Mysteries of Truth after crossing the third level.
He raised his head and looked into the distance with a smile. He stared at the fourth pa.s.s with even more determined eyes.
He would try his hardest to cross the fourth level.
It was much, much harder to cross the fourth level than the third. Even the Thousand Star Maiden and Feng Yan had trouble. It wasn’t as easy as before.
Among them, the Thousand Star Maiden had a lead. She was already at four miles.
Feng Yan was close behind at three miles.
Blue Fang and the Deity with five-colored lights were still within two miles.
A big reason why w.a.n.g Xu could cross the fourth level was probably because he cultivated the Way of Fleeting Light, the fastest way. He had a big advantage. Otherwise, as a half-step Saint King, it would be almost impossible to cross the fourth level.
Zhang Ruochen was confident in reaching the fourth pa.s.s, but he wasn’t sure he could beat the guardian.
Thus, he tested the effect of the Rules of Truth while crossing the sea. This way, he could be calmer when facing the fourth guardian.
He activated 100 Rules of Truth.
They connected the Truth Boat to the sea like 100 tentacles.
Next, Zhang Ruochen collected the Holy Qi around the boat back into his body.
If he used both his Holy Qi and Spiritual Power to control the boat, then he wouldn’t be able to move when he met the guardian. He wouldn’t be able to fight at all.
The guardian could knock him into the sea easily.
After retracting half of the Holy Qi, the boat started wavering.
After retracting 70%, it shook more and more violently. It was already very hard to control.
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly took out 20 more Rules of Truth. This equaled 20 more tentacles. Gradually, the Truth Boat steadied again.
…
After multiple tries, Zhang Ruochen was using 135 Rules of Truth with Spiritual Power to finally steady the Truth Boat. This way, he could finally have hands to fight the guardian.
He’d only comprehended 247 Rules of Truth.
In other words, he could only use 112 Rules of Truth while fighting the guardian.
As the boat continued forward, his expression grew more and more uncomfortable.
Because as he continued, the difficulty shot up. He had to use more and more Rules of Truth on the boat to steady it.
When he reached two miles, he had to use 140 Rules of Truth.
When he reached three miles, he had to use 150 Rules of Truth.
For a first step Saint King, one had to use 81 Rules of Truth to double their saint spell’s power.
With Zhang Ruochen’s attainment in the Way of Truth, it was sure that he’d be unable to use 81 when he reached the fourth pa.s.s.
Without the help of the Rules of Truth, it would be extremely hard for Zhang Ruochen to defeat the fourth guardian.
My attainment in the Way of Truth is still too low. If I could cultivate 2,850 rules like Feng Yan, I wouldn’t be so embarra.s.sed now. He sighed inwardly.
Feng Yan only had to use 729 Rules of Truth to unleash three times the amount of power.
If he used 2187 rules, he could unleash four times the amount. Thus, he still had a lot more left to control the Truth Boat.
No matter how strong Zhang Ruochen was, he still couldn’t take a spell from Feng Yan with triple or quadruple the power.
In the end, the most important part of the Ocean of Truth was that one needed more Rules of Truth.
w.a.n.g Xu and the Thousand Star Maiden had all cultivated more than 2,000 rules. Even Blue Fang had more than 1,600 rules. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t compare at all.
I can’t just sit and wait. I must think of a solution.
Since he couldn’t place hope on the Way of Truth, he had to strengthen himself from another aspect.
The time sword technique and spatial power might be able to counter his enemy. What about the fist technique? Could he strengthen it?
He thought for a moment and took out the Fire G.o.d Armor and two boxing gloves and wrist guards. He put them on.
Even though he still hadn’t found the correct way to use the Fire G.o.d Armor and couldn’t unleash too much power, it could still strengthen him a bit.
Boom!
There was a huge sound behind him.
Then Xiang Chunan’s laugh rang throughout the fourth level of the sea. “Your lord Xiang is here too… F*ck, what is this…”
As soon as he arrived, his Truth Boat fell into a huge whirlpool and spun around rapidly.
He tried his hardest to control the boat in the whirlpool, using all his might to break free while yelling out, “No, no, I used up all my good luck!”
The people who were crossing the sea all turned around.
The s.h.i.+ning Deity was shocked. “That Dark Fool actually reached the fourth level too?”
Blue Fang’s eyes were trained on Zhang Ruochen, feeling suspicious. “Familiar body, wearing a mask, and can reach the fourth level. Who can this person be?”
