Chapter 329
Thor: Hehe! Is it finally my turn to use my cheat codes?
The Seven Towers Realm.
Above the Purple Cloud branch.
A faint spatial fluctuation arose, and a blue figure slowly emerged, overlooking the majestic fortress that stretched between heaven and earth.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Then, a crimson streak of light shot into the sky, revealing a powerful True God exuding immense pressure.
"Marshal 'Red Blade' of the Purple Cloud Legion pays respects to the Lord of Five Elements City."
Crimson Blade True God was clad in heavy armor, his entire body shrouded in a dense aura of blood, and a blood-red scimitar-like horn pierced the sky from his forehead.
"Crimson Blade, the Blood God Tower trial has begun. What will be the outcome this time?"
Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm.
His five-element clone has long been stationed in the Seven Towers Realm, and its strength is in no way inferior to that of the original body, having already reached the top level of the tenth rank.
"Reporting to the City Lord, a total of 1562 people from our Ziyun branch participated in this Blood God Tower trial."
"As of now, a total of 1499 people have failed to reach the first level."
"60 people made it to the second level."
Only one person has made it to the third level.
"There are still two examinees remaining... who have not yet emerged from the Blood God Tower."
"Crimson Blade True God reported respectfully."
"good."
Ye Xingkong nodded with satisfaction.
After more than a billion years of development, Five Elements City is now considered a powerful force in the Seven Towers Realm. It has even established three fortresses on the edge of the Abyss Rift, one of the three forbidden areas: Purple Cloud Branch, Azure Cloud Branch, and Blood Cloud Branch.
"The Seven Towers Realm has an extraordinary origin, and at its peak, it had seven God-King level experts."
"If I'm not mistaken, this world contains the inheritance of seven great god-kings."
Ye Xingkong thought to himself.
He painstakingly explored for a billion years before finally discovering the Blood God Tower deep within the core of the Abyss Rift.
The legacy of Blood Abyss God King, one of the seven great god kings, is very likely hidden in this tower.
When Ye Xingkong first discovered the Blood God Tower, he was naturally incredibly excited.
Although he possesses the inheritance of two god-kings, the Heavenly Craft God King and the Advancement God King, one can never have too many god-king inheritances.
However, the Seven Towers Realm has its own rules for operation.
Each living being can inherit the legacy of only one god-king.
Ye Xingkong is already the successor of the Heavenly Craftsman God King. No matter how monstrous his comprehension and talent are, he will not be recognized by the Blood God Tower.
Therefore, he single-handedly created the three branches: Purple Cloud, Azure Cloud, and Blood Cloud.
The primary objective, of course, is to find a genius capable of inheriting the Blood Abyss God King's legacy.
Secondly, due to their special geographical locations, these three branches are constantly under attack from the demonic tide, which can also serve as training grounds for cultivating strong individuals.
The Crimson Blade True God of the Purple Cloud Branch, the Azure Sky True God of the Azure Cloud Branch, and the Ancient Cultivation Demon God of the Blood Cloud Branch are all peerless powerhouses cultivated over the past billion years.
"Red Blade, come with me to the Blood God Tower."
Ye Xingkong said with a smile.
With a wave of his hand, an ancient ship gleaming with five-colored light appeared in the void. It was an extremely precious palace-type supreme treasure called the Five Elements Ancient Ship.
Whoosh!
The Five Elements Ancient Ship seemed to disappear into space, and in an instant it traversed hundreds of millions of kilometers to arrive at the edge of a towering blood-red tower.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Five Elements Ancient Ship had barely appeared when it was subjected to an extremely terrifying attack.
Terrifying waves of blood surged forth, almost upending the heavens and earth, frantically crashing against the Five Elements Ancient Ship.
Even the Crimson Blade True God paled slightly upon seeing this scene.
This crimson wave of attack is definitely at the level of a Void God.
Without the protection of this ancient ship of the Five Elements, he would have been crushed into dust in an instant.
"This ancient ship... is probably not just a True God-level treasure, but a treasure at the level of a Void True God or even an Eternal True God."
Crimson Blade True God thought to himself.
"Blood God Tower..."
Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ancient, weathered towering pagoda in front of him.
This tower was left behind by the God-King, and even he could not see through its contents, so he could only wait in silence.
"Let's wait, we can only wait."
Ye Xingkong thought to himself.
This tower has ninety-nine floors and mainly tests one's will and character, rather than valuing comprehension and talent.
Only by passing through the ninety-nine levels can one obtain the inheritance of the Blood Abyss God King, but no one throughout history has ever been able to do so.
However, one thing is certain: there is no danger inside the Blood God Tower.
Furthermore, anyone who enters the tower to attempt the challenges will receive a reward, even if they ultimately fail.
The higher the level, the more benefits you will receive.
It should be noted that the Blood God Tower is a treasured legacy left behind by a powerful God-King. Even the slightest benefit leaked from it would be enough to greatly benefit these challengers.
The Crimson Blade True God, the Azure Sky True God, and the Ancient Cultivation Demon God all received immense benefits from the tower.
The same billion years...
The Primordial Universe's Hongmeng Dojo only nurtured one of the universe's strongest beings, the Ice and Fire True God, while the Seven Towers Realm has three True Gods, largely due to the Blood God Tower.
"Sir, you seem to think highly of those two young men."
The Crimson Blade Demon God stood to the side and asked with some curiosity.
The Blood God Tower opens once every ten years, and over hundreds of millions of years, it must have opened tens of millions of times.
He had never seen Ye Xingkong personally come to wait outside the Blood God Tower before.
"Do you remember these two challengers?"
Ye Xingkong asked with a faint smile.
"The names of these two people are Hong and Lei Shen. They have only been at the Ziyun branch for a short period of time, only seven years."
"When they first arrived, they were only at the first level of the cosmic level."
"But the speed of progress is astonishing. In just seven years, he has already reached the peak of the Realm Lord level."
"I recall," said the Crimson Blade God.
As the highest-ranking manager of the Ziyun branch, he could easily find out the identities of the two challengers who were still in the tower at that time.
"but……"
The Crimson Blade God hesitated, then stopped speaking.
"But what?"
Ye Xingkong asked with a smile.
"However, although these two have performed well over the years, they are not particularly outstanding in the Ziyun branch."
"Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really can't see anything special about these two."
Crimson Blade True God shook his head and said.
To put it bluntly, Hong and Lei Shen broke through from the cosmic level to the peak of the realm master in just seven years mainly because the Hongmeng Daoist Temple provided them with massive resources.
S-grade Bloodline Evolution Potion, S-grade Force Potion...
Such precious treasures are available in unlimited quantities, and even a genius with a little talent can become a realm lord.
In contrast, regarding the most important understanding of the laws, both Hong and Thor's progress was only average.
"That's normal."
Ye Xingkong said calmly, "Not all geniuses in this world soar to great heights from the very beginning, but we cannot deny their future potential just because they are ordinary now."
"Understood."
The Crimson Blade True God nodded slightly and sighed, "Perhaps this is the meaning of martial arts for all. Anyone can judge the value of a dazzling treasure; but those divine objects that conceal their true worth can only be proven by the long passage of time." Martial arts for all may seem like a waste of massive resources on the vast majority of ordinary people without talent, but on another level, it may not be a bad thing to give those "late bloomers" a chance.
"Ok?"
"The Blood God Tower is reacting; it means a challenger is about to emerge."
Crimson Blade True God's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingkong also turned his gaze in that direction.
hum~ hum~ hum~
The ancient, mottled Blood God Tower suddenly shone with a bright crimson light. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the tower was enveloped in seven layers of crimson light.
"Seven layers of light shield?"
Crimson Blade True God was greatly surprised, his face showing utter shock as he exclaimed, "How is this possible? Someone has actually reached the seventh level!"
Ninety-nine-story Blood God Tower
Reaching the tenth floor marks the first level;
Reaching the twentieth floor marks the second level;
Reaching the thirtieth floor marks the third level.
.......
The seventh level means that this person has at least reached the seventieth level!
"This...this..."
Even the mighty Crimson Blade God, the strongest being in the universe, was speechless with surprise.
The highest record holder in the Ziyun branch is only at the 53rd floor.
Over hundreds of millions of years, only a handful of people from the three major branches of Purple Cloud, Azure Cloud, and Blood Cloud have reached the fifth level; there are only sixteen in total.
Of these sixteen people, nine have already perished, and of the remaining seven, four have become masters of the universe, and three are true gods.
Crimson Blade True God was one of these sixteen people, and he once made it to the fifty-second floor.
"The seventh level, doesn't that mean that as long as you don't perish, you'll at least be the strongest in the universe in the future?"
Crimson Blade True God couldn't help but gasp, and his admiration for Ye Xingkong's discerning eye grew even stronger.
How could these two unassuming, even mediocre geniuses have such keen insight to see such high potential?
"He's out!"
"It's Thor!"
When the Crimson Blade True God saw a bald, burly man walk out of the Blood God Tower with a dazed look on his face, he was immediately filled with excitement and said...
The seventh level of the Blood God Tower—this astonishing will and temperament alone are enough to determine that this person's future will not be ordinary.
Not to mention, the benefits Thor gained from reaching such a high level of the Blood God Tower are absolutely unimaginable.
"Lord, I have a favor to ask."
"Crimson Blade True God said respectfully."
"Oh? What is it? Please tell me."
Ye Xingkong had a faint smile on his face.
"I want to take Thor as my personal disciple."
"I am very serious," said the Crimson Blade God.
These days... it's not easy to find such a good disciple. If you don't reserve him in advance, he might be snatched away by those two old guys, Qingxiao and Guxiu, in the blink of an eye.
"You'll have to ask him that."
"However, I must remind you that before the Purple Cloud branch cultivates a second True God, you must remain stationed on the Demon Realm battlefield... Don't even think about running off to the Primal Universe."
Ye Xingkong said calmly.
The vast majority of powerful beings in the Seven Towers Realm come from the billions of worlds in the Five Elements Universe.
These powerful beings were born from the miniature universes of the Five Elements, and were inherently incapable of betrayal, thus possessing more information.
The three True God powerhouses, Chi Ren, Qing Xiao, and Gu Xiu, all knew that the Seven Towers Realm was actually an inner world of supreme power and treasure, and they also knew about the Primordial Universe, the Cosmic Sea, the Origin Continent, and so on.
"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, protecting the Purple Cloud branch is Crimson Blade's duty."
"The Crimson Blade True God said with absolute certainty."
In this world, cause and effect are intertwined; every action has its consequence. You reap what you sow.
During their early years, they received full support from the Hongmeng Daoist Academy and had the opportunity to access the inheritance of God-King level beings.
Now that we are powerful, we must naturally shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.
"Don't rush, Hong is still in the Blood God Tower."
Ye Xingkong said with a smile.
"Does the city lord think... he has a chance to pass the ninety-nine levels of the Blood God Tower?"
With a solemn expression, Crimson Blade True God uttered an idea he had never dared to consider before.
"Maybe."
Ye Xingkong shook his head.
Even across the entire Origin Continent, a God-King is a figure standing at the very top of the pyramid.
The inheritance of the God-King... who dares to say they can definitely pass the test?
"However, if even Hong fails, I'm afraid no one will be able to get through this cycle of time."
Ye Xingkong shook his head and said.
It can be said that Hong's talent is not as good as Luo Feng's, but when it comes to cultivating the mind, Hong has an incredible talent.
The Blood God Tower's assessment is different from that of the Star Tower.
Although both are essentially tests of willpower, they have different focuses.
Luo Feng's mental state was not as good as Hong's, but with his "heart is like a knife" mentality, he ultimately passed the Star Tower test.
However, even with this mindset, one might not be able to reach the fifth level of the Blood God Tower.
can only say……
Luo Feng's "My Heart is Like a Knife" is more suitable for the Star Tower assessment, while Hong's "My Heart is Infinite" is more suitable for the Blood God Tower assessment.
There is no strongest, only the most suitable.
"If Hong can pass through the ninety-nine levels of the Blood God Tower, then his opportunity... at least from the perspective of the primordial universe, is no less than Luo Feng's."
Ye Xingkong thought to himself calmly.
Strictly speaking, the Star Tower is a weapon at the level of a Hunyuan Lord, and is definitely more precious than the Blood God Tower.
However, since everyone is still in the beginner village of the primordial universe, the differences between weapons of the Primordial Lord, weapons of the God King, and ordinary supreme treasures are actually not that great.
Let's wait and see.
"Hong, I've given you the chance. It's up to you whether you can seize it."
A slight smile appeared on Ye Xingkong's face.
To be honest, the inheritance of the Blood Abyss God King wasn't that important to him.
After all, he already has the inheritance of two God-Kings. Adding the inheritance of another God-King would at most only strengthen his foundation.
······
At this moment.
Thor walked out of the Blood God Tower and sat quietly cross-legged on the ground.
Outside the Blood God Tower, a sea of blood surged to the heavens, and even a Void True God-level Blood Demon appeared.
However, the area within a radius of 10,000 meters of the Blood God Tower is an absolutely safe zone, like a pure land.
"The reward for the seventy-ninth floor of the Blood God Tower is truly astonishing."
"I, Thor, am finally going to stand up again!"
Thor was very excited.
Of course, he was not only excited about his own situation, but also genuinely happy for Hong.
Thor knew very well that with Hong's temperament and will, he would only go further than him in the Blood God Tower.
"There are four Blood God rewards in total."
"A sword, a magic technique, a blood god body-shaping ceremony, and a creation bead."
Thor touched his bald head and couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.
Any one of these four rewards would be enough to make the Lord of the Universe envious, let alone him receiving all four at once. (End of Chapter)
