Chapter 901
Head-to-Head
Feng Xiu's expression turned extremely crazed at this moment.
The Eight Immortal Towers are the most supreme among innate spiritual treasures, infinitely close to the legendary Chaos Spiritual Treasures.
Having obtained the Eight Immortal Towers, Feng Xiu was absolutely confident that he would become an Immortal Venerable, or even the second Eight Immortal Venerable!
Seeing this situation, Lin Yuan knew things were going badly, but his body was severely restricted to the 919th floor and he could not advance any further.
"Lin Xuan, can you still go up?"
Lin Yuan could feel that he had reached his limit and could only place his hopes on Lin Xuan below him.
Lin Xuan looked up at Lin Yuan; this was the first time the two had met today.
Lin Xuan had only heard of Lin Yuan's reputation, and knew that he was a true prodigy and the undisputed senior brother of almost all the disciples of the Eight Immortal Palaces.
Lin Yuan also knew quite a bit about Lin Xuan, especially after Lin Xuan ascended to the top of the Eight Immortal Tower clone and directly confronted the Second Palace Master. Lin Yuan had already been paying attention to Lin Xuan.
"It should be able to continue."
Lin Xuan did not hide anything, but he also did not reveal all his cards.
Lin Yuan smiled upon hearing this.
“I can sense something is wrong with that bead. The power emanating from it is extremely aggressive, as if it wants to devour the Eight Immortal Towers. We can’t let this guy do that. Lin Xuan, if you can go up, I’ll lend you a hand!”
Lin Yuan's eyes were filled with solemnity, and his gaze towards Lin Xuan was earnest.
Lin Xuan took a light breath and nodded slightly.
As a steward of the Eight Immortal Palaces, I cannot say that I am turning a blind eye to the current crisis facing the palaces.
"Come forth, Dark Abyss Demon!!"
Lin Yuan let out a low shout, and a huge demonic shadow appeared behind him.
"Wow, this guy's Dharma form is actually the Dark Abyss Demon, one of the legendary three thousand demon gods. He's truly blessed!"
Ao Cang was startled when he saw the phantom of the demon god behind Lin Yuan.
"The Dark Abyss Demon, no wonder this person gave me a familiar feeling. He is actually the Dark Abyss Demon, one of the three thousand supreme demon gods."
Lin Xuan stared intently at the Dark Abyss Demon, genuinely shocked.
As one of the Supreme Demon Gods, and the strongest among them, the Dark Abyss Demon's true combat power is almost on par with the Ten Supreme Demon Gods. It is said that he controls the power of the abyss!
"Lin Xuan, come here!"
Lin Yuan looked at Lin Xuan and shouted.
Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and immediately headed towards the Dark Abyss Cave released by Lin Yuan. He stepped on the power of the Dark Abyss and climbed nearly twenty steps in one go, standing at the position of step 932.
After watching Lin Xuan go up, Lin Yuan's immortal energy was completely exhausted in that instant, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the Eight Immortal Towers.
The Grand Hall Master, Zhuge Boqi, led Lin Yuan up.
“Yuan’er, you did the right thing. Your magnanimity makes your teacher very gratified.”
Zhuge Boqi looked at Lin Yuan, and a smile reappeared on his face, which hadn't been shown for many years.
Lin Yuan gave a helpless, bitter laugh, his voice tinged with self-reproach.
“Disciple is incompetent. It should have been my responsibility to stop Feng Xiu, but my abilities are limited. I can only reach the 919th floor. I can't climb more than a few more steps, so I can't stop Feng Xiu from doing evil. This matter can only be entrusted to Fellow Daoist Lin Xuan.”
Looking at the scene inside the Eight Immortal Towers, Lin Yuan's words were tinged with resentment, yet also with helplessness, because Lin Xuan's probability of success was indeed higher than his.
"I didn't expect Brother Boqi to have taken on such a fine disciple. The legendary Demon God Dharma Form, hehe, we are all so envious."
Sima Jiba looked coldly at Zhuge Boqi, his eyes filled with mockery.
Even the possessor of the Demon God's Dharma Form cannot defeat Feng Xiu within the Eight Immortal Towers.
Reaching the 949th level of the sealed cultivation realm is extremely difficult. Sima Jiba guessed that such a peerless genius could not be found in the entire Eight or Nine Universes. Perhaps only a celestial overlord-level power like the Celestial Clan would possess such a peerless genius.
Sima Jiba's sarcastic words had barely left his lips when Lin Xuan in the Eight Immortal Towers had already reached the 945th floor, only four steps away from Feng Xiu's position.
Sima Jiba and Master Yi's expressions immediately froze.
When Feng Xiu is controlling the Myriad Demon Pearl to devour the entire Eight Immortal Towers, he must not be disturbed. Otherwise, he will lose primary control over the Eight Immortal Towers at best, and at worst, it will backfire on the user, who will basically be either dead or seriously injured.
"Damn it, we actually made it this far!"
Feng Xiu looked at Lin Xuan, who had already reached the 946th floor, and his expression became even more serious.
"Feng Xiu, is it? On the territory of our Eight Immortal Palaces, you actually dare to try to forcibly take away our Eight Immortal Palaces' treasures in front of all of us. You are simply robbers!"
Lin Xuan had barely finished speaking when he reached the bartender's forty-seventh step.
Feng Xiu sensed something was wrong and immediately manipulated the Myriad Demon Pearl. The Myriad Demon Pearl already possessed a portion of the power of the Eight Immortal Towers, yet it was able to influence the power within the Eight Immortal Towers.
Feng Xiu stood on the 949th floor, and the pressure suddenly lessened considerably. He thought to himself, "That feels great!" and immediately continued to climb upwards.
Nine hundred and sixty floors—this position is extremely high. The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace was established among the Eight Immortal Palaces, and this is the highest record.
According to the Eight Immortal Venerables, if one can reach the 990th floor of the Eight Immortal Tower, it means that one possesses the aura of an emperor!
The appearance of an Immortal Emperor!
Even though Feng Xiu had already mastered a portion of the power of the Eight Immortal Towers, he found it difficult to move forward after reaching the 960th floor.
Lin Xuan felt an immense weight on his shoulders, as if the sky had collapsed and pressed down on him.
"Lin Xuan, these Eight Immortal Towers are extraordinary. They are top-grade innate spiritual treasures of the Qi Luck level. Such treasures are extremely rare even in the entire Immortal Realm. If you can obtain this treasure, it will definitely be of great benefit to you!"
Ao Cang sensed the power within the Eight Immortal Towers and was very satisfied with this treasure.
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly.
Lin Xuan knew very well that the Eight Immortal Towers were the lifeblood of the Eight Immortal Palaces. If the Eight Immortal Towers were lost, the Eight Immortal Palaces would essentially exist in name only.
Even if Lin Xuan liked the Eight Immortal Tower very much, he would not take it away from someone else, especially since the Eight Immortal Palace had done him some favors.
"Forget about all that now, my primary goal is to stop this guy from doing anything bad."
The power within Lin Xuan's body suddenly erupted.
Nine Tribulations Golden Immortal Realm, the power of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword, the power of the Nine Heavens Golden Thunder Holy Dragon, the power of the Supreme Asura Demon God, the divine power of space, the divine power of darkness, the divine power of the Nine Profound Sword Body, the power of the Nine Heavens Golden Thunder Holy Body...
Various divine powers intertwined, resulting in a significant increase in the power within Lin Xuan's body.
In just ten breaths, Lin Xuan traversed more than a dozen steps and arrived below Feng Xiu in the blink of an eye. The 959th floor was only one step away from Feng Xiu.
Feng Xiu watched as Lin Xuan traversed more than a dozen steps like a ghost, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. He even felt a little fear towards this guy he had never seen before.
"How is this possible?!"
The practice of sedition is utterly unbelievable.
"Nothing is impossible. Just like now, your Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is full of wolfish ambitions, actually trying to devour the Eight Immortal Towers. That's just a pipe dream!!"
Lin Xuan sneered and raised his hand to strike the black bead fiercely.
"You think you can stop me? Not so easy!"
Feng Xiu quickly retrieved the Heavenly Demon Pearl, and the Eight Immortal Towers began to struggle violently.
As a treasure of destiny, the Eight Immortal Towers naturally possess their own consciousness. However, at this moment, the consciousness of the Eight Immortal Towers was suppressed by the Heavenly Demon Pearl. After the Heavenly Demon Pearl was sealed and retrieved, the consciousness of the Eight Immortal Towers began to resist.
Sima Jiba's expression began to turn ugly.
Zhuge Boqi and the others rekindled their hope. (End of Chapter)
