Anger was merely anger, so Wang Chong was able to quickly calm back down and turn his eyes forward. Even though he was under the control of another, he could at least use some of his Stellar Energy now, which was a great improvement to his situation.

Wang Chong suppressed his anger and sternly asked, ”Can you give me at least half of my strength back? With this little energy, how can I possibly get through the Origin Immortal Sword Formation!?”

Bagushidu shook his head and firmly said, ”Heh, no! In any case, whether you have thirty percent or fifty percent, you don't have the strength to block the Origin Immortal Sword Formation! There's no need to waste my time on such a gesture.”

Wang Chong coldly snorted and said no more. He had merely been asking, and he had already predicted that Bagushidu would refuse.

Focusing his mind, Wang Chong began to examine the two chains. If he wanted to get through the formation, get to the other side, and obtain the Origin Immortal Art, these two chains would be of utmost importance.

Good! These chains are made from Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron that has been extremely well-tempered, and they are densely covered with strengthening inscriptions. They won't easily snap!

Wang Chong was able to instantly spot these things.

His work with Wootz Steel had caused him to encounter many different kinds of material, and Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron was one of the best and most precious materials. Wang Chong could naturally recognize it. However, the Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron used by the Origin Immortal Lord was of even greater quality and purity, the best of its kind.

Moreover, the strengthening inscriptions used by the Origin Immortal Lord on these chains were not the same as the ones normally in use, but ones from the Spring and Autumn Era. Their effects were one hundred times greater than those of the current era.

Even a divine weapon would have a hard time hacking through the chains.

Wang Chong's gaze moved forward and he grimaced. Several dozen feet ahead, the chains were covered in dense sword scratches, with some of them even cutting several inches deep, almost cutting away a small section of the chain. And as he looked farther ahead, he saw that the number of sword scratches only increased.

The Origin Immortal Sword Formation!

Wang Chong immediately thought about the enormous sword formation controlled by the first-generation successor.

Hiss!

Wang Chong took in a deep breath.

The first generation is simply too powerful. This kind of chain forged from Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron and covered in so many ancient inscriptions is something that even my Wootz Steel sword wouldn't be able to cut open, but the first-generation successor was almost able to destroy these two chains with just his Sword Qi. The gap between us is too great, and I'm no match for him at my current level of strength. If I step on these chains, I'll trigger the sword formation and be instantly killed!

Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil, but after pondering a few ideas, he refocused.

Whoosh!

With no need for Bagushidu's help this time, Wang Chong waved his sleeve, tearing apart the sea of fog. Wang Chong displayed superb control over his strength, and as the chains clattered, he was soon able to see that mysterious altar, the successor standing before it, and the sword thrust into the ground.

The lingering mist and hazy figures made it seem like part of an entirely different world.

Within the sea of fog, the figure of the first-generation successor was like the figure of the death god in the underworld, savage and terrifying. And that mysterious sword thrust into the ground in front of him appeared even more enigmatic.

But as Wang Chong's eyes passed over the sword, he suddenly had a strange feeling. This bizarre feeling had come from the sword, and Wang Chong found it difficult to say what it was. It lasted only a mere moment before disappearing.

Wang Chong's brow creased as he muttered, ”How strange…” After a few moments of thought, he picked up a stone from the bridge and threw it.

Clang!

A sword flashed through the air, and the stone Wang Chong had thrown out was instantly cut in two. Wang Chong's eyes gleamed, and he immediately flicked out another rock, followed by a second, a third…

Wang Chong constantly picked up and threw stones, watching as these stones that came in from different directions and heights were diced into tiny pieces by the Origin Immortal Sword Formation.

Bagushidu watched the entire process with cold eyes, making no attempt to disturb him. His expression was similarly undisturbed, though there was a slight ripple when he saw Wang Chong beginning to throw out the stones.

It's no good! Each stone will immediately be attacked by fifty to sixty swords upon entering the sword formation, with seven swords being the absolute minimum.

Wang Chong weighed a stone in his hands as he raised his head and closed his eyes, his mind rapidly turning. When his Psychic Energy increased by several times, so had his calculation ability. Bagushidu had sealed off his Stellar Energy, but not his mental powers.

Just now, Wang Chong had used the stones to assist him in calculating many things.

Even so, the situation was nothing to be happy about.
