Apotheosis

Catching Calum looking at him, Sellers chuckled. "I don't know much about Zen. He has already passed the third floor of the Sword Tower, and has fought with Milo once."

"What was the result?" queried Calum.

"Zen lost," Sellers said bluntly with a slight shrug.

"Milo has been in the mountain for a long time, and his cultivation level is higher than Zen's. It's not surprising Zen lost. But it's hard to tell this young man's potential," Calum said, scratching his chin.

Then, he raised the array plate again. "If he can climb the mountain under the second-class difficulty, he might be able to be compared with Milo's past self."

Although Sellers gave his recommendation for Zen to go up the mountain, to be clear, he just wanted to do Athemar a favor. One way or another, Zen was qualified to climb the mountain.

However, in actuality, Sellers was also curious to see just how strong Zen truly was.

"Please make the decision by yourself, Master Calum," said Sellers, bowing slightly.

If Zen got hurt, Athemar would put the blame on him. Sellers didn't want to be used as a scapegoat.

Watching Zen gradually recover his speed, Calum gritted his teeth as he changed the array plate again.

The difficulty of the Cloudy Mountain Array on the Dragon Path could only reach up to third class. However, a second class of difficulty was later added with the use of the Heavenly Magic Array.

Therefore, once someone started the second-class difficulty, the Heavenly Magic Array was also activated. That was exactly what happened to Zen.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment Zen took another step, flying swords shot towards him.

The flying swords alone were nothing to him. He indifferently moved forward at an incredible speed.

Then, some of the flying swords collided with his arms.

Bang! Bang!

The flying swords released clouds of smoke and suddenly transformed into chains that wrapped themselves around Zen's arms. At the end of each chain was a large, cone-shaped weight.

"Wow, the weights are heavy!

Each of them probably contains one divine megaton of force."

Zen grunted as he struggled to keep moving forward, despite the chains.

He frowned as he realized that back when he first entered the Dragon City, he couldn't even lift these heavy weights.

The Heavenly Magic Array was changeable.

n the third. Now climbing the mountain was like walking on the flat ground.

"Zen's speed..."

In the Cloudy Mountain Palace, Calum and Sellers were flabbergasted.

It took less than ten minutes for Zen to destroy the magic array after Calum activated the difficulty of the second class.

The Heavenly Magic Array was not difficult for him at all.

There was an essential difference between the Heavenly Magic Array and the Cloudy Mountain Array.

The Cloudy Mountain Array was used for the assessment, but the Heavenly Magic Array was used to resist the enemy.

Since the Oneness Sky Palace was built, very few people had managed to destroy the Heavenly Magic Array with their own strength. Zen was merely at the first stage of the Other Shore Realm, but he made it!

"How did he make it?"

"Can Zen also control the swords with his mind?"

Calum and Sellers could only see his figure on the array plate and didn't know how Zen did that.

"Shall we activate the first-class difficulty?" Sellers asked with a mischievous smile.

Calum shook his head immediately and clutched the plate tightly. Fearing he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation, he said decisively, "No. The first-class difficulty will kill him. If anything bad happens to Zen on the Dragon Path, Master Athemar will have me killed!"

"Relax, it was just a suggestion!" Sellers laughed.

Together, they returned their focus towards Zen. Much to their surprise, Zen had already almost made it to the mountain's peak. "That's half the time it took Milo..." Calum murmured.
