Learning the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Again (Part Two)
Although Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level is only at the True Essence Realm, with the activation of his Demonic True Body and the King's Aura he gained from passing through the Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace, Zhuge Xiang's strength is absolutely top-notch, even among those at the Gathering Origin Stage.
Naturally, these three- or four-star Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters gave up their ideas about Zhuge Xiang. Even on this Fifth Layer, Zhuge Xiang's strength was definitely among the top.
After studying two Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram on the Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer, Zhuge Xiang's gaze returned to the staircase leading to the Sixth Layer...
Beyond that lies the strongest Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters below the Void Returning Stage; one must take any one of them seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Xiang did not go up, but instead went down the stairwell and left the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda.
Zhuge Xiang's current cultivation level is only at the True Essence Realm, but the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters on the sixth floor are all at least two minor realms Zhuge Xiang. Zhuge Xiang might be able to deal with a single one, but if there are hundreds or thousands of them, Zhuge Xiang has absolutely no chance.
Indeed, Zhuge Xiang possesses various enemy Skill, allowing him to charge in with Skill activated and retreat before their effects wear off. However, these enemy Skill only grant Zhuge Xiang immunity to damage. What if he encounters Demonic Creatures like Spider spirit that traps Zhuge Xiang on the Sixth Layer? Once the enemy's Skill expire, his fate will be sealed.
The gate of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda slowly closed. Having studied two Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram in succession, Zhuge Xiang has now learned six of the Nine Heavenly Demon Zen Sounds. He only needs to complete the six, seven, and eight levels to achieve perfect mastery.
As Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level rose to the True Essence Realm, he also learned six versions of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. However, even Zhuge Xiang himself couldn't fathom the true power of this Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Sacred Buddhist Art.
On the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, Liao Fa was bound by Chains covered in Runes. In his hand, he toyed with a palm-sized tortoise Tortoise Shell containing a few ancient Copper Coins. His eyes were unfocused as he gazed into the distance, as if his gaze could pierce through the Void and see into the past and future.
"Six pictures already? Almost there, only three left. Then I can leave this Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda. I wonder if the Cultivation World has forgotten me..."
Having learned two more Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram, Zhuge Xiang felt much more confident facing the numerous Demonization Fire Control Tribe. After a few days, more and more human Cultivator gathered on the Ninth Layer.
In recent days, battles between human Cultivator and these Fire Control Tribe have frequently erupted, and the sounds of Spell explosions can often be heard.
"How are things? How are those Fire Control Tribe doing?" On this day, Xiao Yue returned from Zhuge Xiang's mountain valley.
"Those Fire Control Tribe are already plotting how to wipe out all of us human Cultivator in one fell swoop," Xiao Yue replied after hearing Zhuge Xiang's words.
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Those Fire Control Tribe also passed by the Altar of Sacrifice. It seems the secret to leaving this Heaven-Piercing Tower lies within that Altar of Sacrifice, but today I saw a very unusual figure."
Towards the end, Xiao Yue's words became somewhat uncertain.
"Oh? An unusual figure? What is it?" Zhuge Xiang raised an eyebrow slightly, keenly sensing the meaning in Xiao Yue's words.
"I only caught a glimpse of it, and I don't know if I was seeing things, but in the distance, I seemed to see the figure of a Corpse King, with Bone Wings growing from its back," Xiao Yue said, her tone unsure whether she had seen it wrong.
"The Corpse King?" Zhuge Xiang frowned slightly. He understood that if there really was Corpse King in the Heaven-Piercing Tower, then the meaning would be different, since there couldn't possibly be Zombie in the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
"Whether you've seen it wrong or not, this matter is worth noting." Although Xiao Yue wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong, this matter was of great significance and Zhuge Xiang couldn't ignore it.
"By the way, you said those fire- Fire Control Tribe are preparing to make a move and wipe out all the human Cultivator? What exactly is their strategy?" Xiao Yue wasn't sure if she had understood, so Zhuge Xiang didn't dwell on it and quickly changed the subject.
Even though more than half of the human Cultivator died on the first floor of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, those who survived to reach the Ninth Layer were all Elite, much like the Fire Control Tribe. Although the fire-controlling race outnumbered the human Cultivator, wiping out the human Cultivator would not be an easy task.
"I didn't hear the specific strategy, but I vaguely heard some words about Flame. It seems that these Fire Control Tribe want to use the power of Flame to carry out their plan."
Shaking his head, Xiao Yue answered, a hint of helplessness in his expression. After all, the higher-ups of the Fire Control Tribe were too powerful and had extremely keen senses. Xiao Yue dared not get too close, so what he could hear was naturally very limited.
"Yes, that's normal," Zhuge Xiang nodded, having no doubt about Xiao Yue's words. The Fire Control Tribe was born with the power to control Flame, and since their goal was to kill humans, they naturally needed to use the power of Flame.
"Master, I'm back!" The black phoenix wings fluttered, and the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger also flapped its wings as it returned.
"And you? Did you find out anything?" Zhuge Xiang asked as he watched Phoenix Winged Black Tiger return.
"The news is astonishing," Phoenix Winged Black Tiger replied, its expression grave, clearly indicating that it had gathered even more information.
"While I was gathering information, I was discovered by a high-ranking member of the Fire Control Tribe. He wanted to subdue me, but remembering your mission, Master, I pretended to be subdued and stayed by his side. Unexpectedly, I actually overheard an astonishing secret."
"Oh? What do you know?" Zhuge Xiang asked after hearing Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's words.
"The Demonization of those fire- Demonization Fire Control Tribe People is not simply due to their hatred for humans. Behind the upheaval in the Heaven-Piercing Tower, there is a mastermind," Phoenix Winged Black Tiger uttered a shocking piece of information.
"The mastermind behind this, do you know who the mastermind is?" Zhuge Xiang asked, raising an eyebrow. Who is this person who can turn thousands of the Fire Control Tribe into Demonization? Such ability can be considered extraordinary.
"I don't know exactly who it is, but the mastermind promised the Fire Control Tribe that as long as they wipe out all the humans who enter, they will help them leave this Heaven-Piercing Tower," Phoenix Winged Black Tiger shook his head, he only knew that there was a mastermind behind it.
"Slaughter all human Cultivator? What is the mastermind's purpose?" Zhuge Xiang was now completely baffled. Shouldn't the Fire Control Tribe be the ones who truly hate humans? But why does the so-called mastermind hate humans even more than the Fire Control Tribe?
