Arc 16Trials of the Nine-Layered Tower
Lin Xuan broke the black cage and fought through the first layer of Xuantian’s Nine-layered Tower, defeating Red Eyes and uncovering a strange connection among the beasts in the second layer. After Jinlong revealed that the layer’s Master was formed from all the ferocious beasts, a hidden voice challenged Lin Xuan’s decision to spare him.
- Lin Xuan balanced the black cage’s five powers against each other until it shattered, then entered the Nine-layered Tower to seek Xuantian’s legacy.
- Lin Xuan defeated the first layer’s beasts and used the World-Destroying Law to destroy Red Eyes, whose blood mist contained the blood of nearly three hundred trillion unjustly killed lives.
- Lin Xuan activated Xuantian’s totem, passed the first trial, and climbed to the second layer, where beasts emerged from the wall’s totems.
- Lin Xuan battled the Golden Dragon, Qiongqi, and Twin Fierce Beasts while searching for a stronger hidden presence among the carvings.
- A Kirin Fierce Beast emerged, and Lin Xuan recognized that the beasts shared a strange power and were connected to something hidden.
- Lin Xuan killed the Kirin Fierce Beast and Twin Fierce Beasts with the World-Destroying Law, then threatened the feigning Golden Dragon and Qiongqi until they answered his questions.
- Jinlong revealed that the second layer’s Master could not act and was formed from all the ferocious beasts, leading Lin Xuan to realize the beasts were scattered powers belonging to it.
- Lin Xuan said Jinlong could live, but an eerie hidden voice challenged him, and Lin Xuan stepped in front of Jinlong as Jinlong and Qiongqi reacted in fear.
