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 pass 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 wasnt 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 Wang 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 pass, but he wasnt 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 wouldnt be able to move when he met the guardian. He wouldnt 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.

Hed 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 spells power.

With Zhang Ruochens attainment in the Way of Truth, it was sure that hed be unable to use 81 when he reached the fourth pass.

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 wouldnt be so embarrassed 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 couldnt 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.

Wang 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 couldnt compare at all.

I cant just sit and wait. I must think of a solution.

Since he couldnt 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 God Armor and two boxing gloves and wrist guards. He put them on.

Even though he still hadnt found the correct way to use the Fire God Armor and couldnt unleash too much power, it could still strengthen him a bit.

Boom!

There was a huge sound behind him.

Then Xiang Chunans 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 shining Deity was shocked. That Dark Fool actually reached the fourth level too?

Blue Fangs eyes were trained on Zhang Ruochen, feeling suspicious. Familiar body, wearing a mask, and can reach the fourth level. Who can this person be?

Feng Yan glanced at Zhang Ruochen who was cruising forward calmly. A smile appeared on the three faces at once. Then, no longer looking, he continued chasing after the Thousand Star Maiden.

Zhang Ruochen and the Thousand Star Maiden had both been number one on the Saints Merits Rank, but they crossed the sea completely differently from their usual personalities.

The Thousand Star Maidens personality was light and wispy, but her aura while crossing the sea was sharp. No cultivator could even think about surpassing her.

After coming to the Truth Heavenly Domain, Zhang Ruochen created bloodshed everywhere, terrorizing countless cultivators. But he crossed the Ocean of Truth without any rush, as if he was strolling on the sea.

Two interesting people, Feng Yan thought.

The spectators on land were in an uproar.

Five cultivators entered the fourth level at the same time. This was extremely rare. It meant that they were the top elites of the Heaven World. Everyone else could only look up at them.

These spectators were all guessing who could reach the furthest? Who would be the first to fall?

Some troublemakers even began betting with their companions.

The Thousand Star Maiden and Feng Yan already crossed the fourth level before reaching the Saint King Realm. Theyll definitely go the furthest.

Next, itll be Blue Fang.

He should be able to defeat the fourth guardian this time.

The masked man or whatever seems powerful too. His fist technique earlier was amazing. It might be some mid-level saint spell.

While everyone was in heated discussion, someone finally fell into the sea.

It wasnt the Dark Fool, who was still spinning in the whirlpool. Instead, it was the colorfully shining Deity.

Hed gone all the way to the eighth mile.

When he returned to the land, his expression was very cold. Hed thought that he could reach the fourth pass easily after cultivating more than 300 Rules of Truth, but it was all in vain.

Now, the Thousand Star Maiden and Feng Yan reached the curtain of light one after another and started fighting with the guardian.

Zhang Ruochen observed their fight while cruising. He wanted to estimate the fourth guardians power.

After a dozen exchanges, the Thousand Star Maiden extended a slender finger and pointed at the guardian. An extremely strange power converged at her fingertip and hit the guardians forehead.

Boom!

The guardians body exploded.

But what was shocking was that the guardian disappeared the moment that it exploded. It was traceless and didnt even fly back into the curtain of light.

It just vanished.

The Way of the Void? Zhang Ruochens heart raced.

Zhang Ruochen had heard Granny Begonia mention before that the most powerful of the Nine Ancient Ways was the Fate and the Void. Fate determined all; the Void destroyed all.

Was the Thousand Star Maiden really a controller of the Void?

After she defeated the guardian, she didnt enter the curtain of light immediately. Instead, she sat cross-legged in her boat and closed her eyes. It seemed that shed used up too much Holy Qi in the last attack. She had to recover before she dared to enter the fifth level.

Blue Fang and Zhang Ruochen arrived at the curtain of light almost at the same time.

Blue Fang looked at him and grinned. Sir, since you could reach the fourth pass, you must not be a nameless figure. You should at least be in the top thousand of the Saints Merits Rank. Weve met before, right?

Zhang Ruochen just smiled. Instead of speaking, he went to challenge the guardian directly.

Not only did the fourth guardian wear silver armor, but its body was also silver. It seemed to be a solid giant made out of true silver.

Defeat me and enter the fifth level. Now, choose your weapon.

Zhang Ruochen activated the Hundred Saints Blood Armor to cover himself. He took out the Abyss Ancient Sword again and grasped it.

The sword spirit only comprehended around 20 Rules of Truth. With Zhang Ruochens current state, it couldnt help much with the Way of Truth anymore.

But it was a true Third Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon. It was abnormally sharp and may pose a threat to the guardian.

In the distance, Blue Fang was already fighting the guardian. He didnt have the energy to study Zhang Ruochens sword.

Whoosh!

Boxing gloves and a sword appeared in the guardians hand too. It pointed it at Zhang Ruochen and strong power exploded out, crushing toward him.

This

Zhang Ruochen felt extremely heavy and unable to move.

Boom!

The guardians silver sword created a ten-foot-long Sword Way Xuangang. Thousands of Sword Qi flew around the sword.

The silver arm moved. The Sword Way Xuangang and thousands of Sword Qi flew out at the same time.

It can actually produce Sword Way Xuangang. If Id known, I wouldnt have taken out the Abyss Ancient Sword.

He was a bit regretful, but he had to face it head-on.

He couldnt take the Sword Way Xuangang squarely.

In an instant, he used the Spatial Move. The Truth Boat disappeared with him and dodged the guardians attack. The Sword Way Xuangang and Sword Qi hit the sea surface, producing loud booms. Tall waves lifted up. It was truly a spectacle.

At the same time, the Truth Boat appeared above the guardians head. Standing on it, Zhang Ruochen uttered softly, Wu Sword.

At that moment, time froze.

Only a beam of black sword light cut down at the guardians head.
