A Shocking Feat! The Final Guardian
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I'll go right now!" Bai Yun'er, her voice trembling with excitement.
But upon further reflection, I realized something was amiss.
No matter how extraordinary Xiao Yao is, he shouldn't be able to clear the Demon Abyss Tower on his very first day at Blade Camp!
"Su Tanmeng, are you lying to me?"
Faced with Bai Yun'er's questioning, Su Tanmeng's lips curled into a slight smile, and she said indignantly, "Bai Yun'er, it's fine if you don't believe me, but don't you believe your disciple Xiao Yao? If Xiao Yao knew what you said, he would definitely be very disappointed."
"I..."
Bai Yun'er, who usually didn't care much about saving face, couldn't utter a single word.
She knew this was Su Tanmeng's provocation, but it was very effective, unless she wasn't afraid of disappointing Xiao Yao.
Finally finishing her cultivation, she stood up abruptly, gritting her teeth, and said, "Su Tanmeng, I went there for Xiao Yao's sake, not because I fell for your provocation."
"What kind of reverse psychology? I didn't try to provoke you, I was just telling the truth," Su Tanmeng retorted.
Bai Yun'er simply snorted coldly and said nothing more, instantly appearing above the Blade Camp.
Upon seeing the Poisonous Demon Emperor, she Spatial Teleportation to his side and looked up at the towering Demon Abyss Tower.
At a glance, I noticed that the 103rd floor was emitting a red glow.
If Su Tanmeng is correct, Xiao Yao is currently engaged in battle on this floor.
103rd floor?
As far as I can remember, even War God Kuang Yue of the Blade Camp, only reached the 100th floor.
My disciple is truly a prodigy; he surpassed the War God Kuang Yue, on his very first ascent of the tower.
Bai Yun'er gradually revealed a proud smile, looking incredibly charming and beautiful.
The surrounding Demonic Path cultivators were all stunned, staring intently without blinking.
At this moment, the Poisonous Demon Emperor realized that Bai Yun'er had appeared beside her at some point, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Formless Demon Emperor, when did you arrive?"
"You've only been here a short time. By the way, how much time has it taken my disciple to arrive?" Bai Yun'er asked, her eyes full of curiosity.
The Poisonous Demon Emperor immediately recalled that the incense stick's time on the Demonic Path side was 20 minutes.
Therefore, Xiao Yao has currently used 41 minutes.
"41 minutes!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Demonic Path cultivators, like Bai Yun'er, were filled with astonishment.
Previously, no one paid much attention to the exact time; they only knew that Xiao Yao climbed the tower very quickly.
But now, after summarizing, the Poisonous Demon Emperor realized that it really was incredibly fast!
Bai Yun'er's sharply defined eyebrows furrowed slightly. Her fastest time to reach the 103rd floor was 40 minutes, only one minute faster than Xiao Yao's current time.
But she achieved this result only after climbing the tower many times and summarizing countless experiences.
This is Xiao Yao's first time climbing the tower, so there's no comparison.
"Actually, Xiao Yao should have taken even less time. He didn't use his full power at first; he only started using it after reaching the 80th floor."
Bai Yun'er's lips twitched at the Poisonous Demon Emperor's statement.
She initially thought Su Tanmeng was lying to her, but after hearing what the Poisonous Demon Emperor said, it was even more outrageous than what Su Tanmeng had said.
My disciple!
It seems you really are Immortal Reincarnation.
Only this explanation can account for why you are so amazing?
At this moment, the red light on the 103rd floor of the Demon Abyss Tower disappeared, and was replaced by green light.
"I've cleared the 103rd floor too!" Bai Yun'er murmured, memories of her first time climbing the Demon Abyss Tower flooding her mind.
At that time, she shocked the entire Demonic Path path, and her final climb result was the 110th floor (not cleared).
She surpassed her master's 109th level (which she hadn't cleared), and was subsequently established as the Saintess of the entire Demonic Path path.
As long as he doesn't perish, or can still cultivate, he will surely become the supreme ruler who controls the entire Demonic Path path in the future.
Indeed, she is now the supreme ruler of the entire Demonic Path path.
The Ghost Fiend Demon Emperor, the Infernal Demon Emperor, the Poisonous Demon Emperor, and the Death Demon Emperor appear to be on equal footing with her to outsiders, but this is not actually the case.
These four demon emperors must obey her commands.
Xiao Yao, can you surpass my achievement from my first time climbing the tower?
If possible, I can use this as grounds to bestow upon you the title of Holy Son of the Demonic Path forces.
Keep it up, my student! I believe in you.
Bai Yun'er's eyes were filled with anticipation and longing for Xiao Yao to surpass her.
Demon Abyss Tower.
Xiao Yao stepped onto the stairs leading to the 104th floor.
The guardian of the 103rd floor took a full 40 seconds to die after activating the Immortal Tier Spell, Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought.
Currently, with his Mana and Mana regeneration rate, the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought can only last for 60 seconds.
If he exceeds this time, he will undoubtedly lose.
Therefore, if you want to reach a higher level, you can't rely solely on the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought spell.
However, he currently doesn't have any spells that can deal more damage than the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought.
If a guardian can withstand the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought for 60 seconds, he must use all his strength, so that even if he fails, he will have no regrets.
The guardian of the 104th floor withstood the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought for 41 seconds.
The guardian of the 105th floor withstood the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought for 42 seconds.
The guardian of the 109th floor withstood the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought for 46 seconds.
"Poisonous Demon Emperor, you see! My disciple has cleared the 109th floor!" Bai Yun'er shouted excitedly.
Like the other demonic cultivators present, the Poisonous Demon Emperor was somewhat puzzled.
Isn't this the 126th floor of the Formless Demon Emperor's Realm that we haven't even cleared yet?
But all the demonic cultivators realized that there must be other reasons behind it.
After a moment's recollection, the Poisonous Demon Emperor suddenly remembered that the time when the Formless Demon Emperor was named the Saintess of the Demonic Path was the first time she climbed the Demon Abyss Tower and reached the 109th floor.
Now, Xiao Yao's record for climbing the tower for the first time has surpassed that of the Formless Demon Emperor.
This means that the Formless Demon Emperor can rightfully and justifiably bestow upon Xiao Yao the title of Demonic Path Saint Son.
In just one day, Xiao Yao has advanced from being the Direct Disciple of the Formless Demon Emperor to becoming the Demonic Path Saint Son. This speed of advancement in status is truly outrageous!
At the same time, former War God Kuang Yue's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"
The demonic cultivators all looked at Kuang Yue, their faces filled with confusion.
"Brother Kuang, what's on your mind? Why are you so agitated?"
Kuang Yue beamed with joy and said, "Our Demonic Path is finally going to have a Holy Son!"
"Holy Son... Your Excellency..."
The murmurs of the demonic cultivators rose and fell, seemingly still unable to grasp the cause and effect.
Upon hearing this, Kuang Yue immediately explained, "More than 20,000 years ago, the current Formless Demon Emperor Wuxiang's record for first ascending the Demon Abyss Tower was 109 floors, surpassing her master's 108 floors, and therefore she was bestowed the title of Demonic Path Saintess."
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized.
Wang Teng further stated, "Now that Xiao Yao has surpassed the former Formless Demon Emperor Wuxiang in his first ascent of the tower, he naturally has the qualifications to be named the Demonic Path Saint Son."
"That's right!" Kuang Yue affirmed.
Bai Yun'er smiled awkwardly. She could use these demonic cultivators to spread the information first, so that the entire Demonic Path force could gradually accept it.
As for Xiao Yao passing the 126th floor, she knew how powerful the guardians were after the 110th floor, so she didn't have any hope at all.
At this moment, Demon Abyss Tower.
As expected, the guardian of the 110th floor withstood the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought for 56 seconds.
The 10-second increase made Xiao Yao feel very uncomfortable.
However, based on previous experience, the Demon Abyss Tower increases in difficulty every ten floors.
Therefore, he needs to see how many seconds the guardian on the 111th floor can hold out.
Without further hesitation, he headed towards the stairs leading to the 111th floor.
Sizzle!
The guardian of the 111th floor died 57 seconds after being attacked by the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought.
Xiao Yao now understood that the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought could be used up to the 114th level guardian, and a new method would be needed for the rest.
Soon, the guardian of the 114th floor died suddenly.
This time, Xiao Yao didn't immediately choose to ascend to the 115th floor; he was pondering what move to use next.
Outside the Demon Abyss Tower.
"Why is Xiao Yao still stuck on the 114th floor? Shouldn't he be continuing to the 115th floor?" the Poisonous Demon Emperor asked, full of doubt.
Bai Yun'er turned serious. In her opinion, Xiao Yao definitely didn't stay on purpose.
This means that Xiao Yao is no longer confident of clearing the 115th floor!
However, even with a score of 115 (not cleared), it's still unprecedented for a first-time climber of the tower, something to be proud of!
But she seemed to have a telepathic connection with Xiao Yao; she sensed that Xiao Yao was definitely unwilling to remain at level 115 (not yet cleared the level).
Demon Abyss Tower.
Xiao Yao scratched his jet-black hair, unable to think of any way to enhance the power of the Primordial Chaos Demonic Thought.
[Beep! Inspection complete. The Demon Abyss Tower has no assimilation effect on anomalies or anything of Quasi-Immortal Tier or higher.]
Immediately, Xiao Yao's eyes lit up.
He had previously used the power-enhancing spells taught by his Senior Disciple Master and Second Master, which resulted in the gatekeeper also being enhanced as a result.
This led him to believe that the gatekeeper would also receive a corresponding boost after using the three top-tier phenomena and the Quasi-Immortal tier spell, No-Self.
But after the system's reminder, he realized he was wrong!
Without any further hesitation, Xiao Yao began to activate them one by one.
An extraordinary phenomenon: The Chaos Seeds the Azure Lotus blooms!
An extraordinary phenomenon: the moon rises over the sea, open!
An extraordinary phenomenon: The Immortal King descends upon the Nine Heavens! Open!
Quasi-Immortal tier spell - No-Self, Activate!
In an instant, Xiao Yao's strength experienced an explosive increase.
Sensing the powerful force within him, he headed towards the 115th floor.
"Look! Xiao Yao has reached the 115th floor!"
As soon as the demon cultivators looked over, the red light on the 115th floor changed to green.
"No way! How could it be so fast all of a sudden?"
"Could it be that he took some medicine?"
"That doesn't make sense! The boosts from taking medicine in the Demon Abyss Tower would also grant the guardian the same boosts."
"Could it be that he suddenly discovered the ability to use the anomaly?"
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Countless eyes fell on Wang Teng was also climbing the tower for the first time.
Bai Yun'er then looked at the Poisonous Demon Emperor and said, "Didn't you tell Xiao Yao about this?"
"Uh... he didn't ask me..." the Poisonous Demon Emperor replied.
Bai Yun'er rolled her eyes, then said angrily, "He didn't ask you, so you didn't tell him the whole story?"
The Poisonous Demon Emperor trembled all over, cold sweat pouring down his face. Seeing Bai Yun'er in this state, she felt that her days were numbered!
"Poisonous Demon Emperor, I will not deal with you now. Xiao Yao will handle you later."
After speaking, Bai Yun'er turned her gaze to the Demon Abyss Tower.
You wouldn't believe it until you look, and you'd be shocked to find that Xiao Yao had already reached the 121st floor, becoming the undisputed fourth-ranked person on the stone tablet.
Could Xiao Yao possibly reach the 126th floor?
With these questions in mind, Bai Yun'er continued reading.
"Level 121 cleared!"
"The 122nd floor too!"
"Wow! He cleared the 125th floor! He's almost tied with the Formless Demon Emperor Wuxiang!"
"I'm so excited! I'm really so excited!"
At this moment, the minds of the cultivators present were utterly shaken.
Three minutes later, there was nothing but silence.
This wasn't because Xiao Yao failed to climb the tower, but because he actually cleared the 127th floor, surpassing the Primordial Demon Emperor progenitor of the Demonic Path path.
"The 128th floor! My disciple, have we ventured into a place that no demonic cultivator has ever set foot in before?" Bai Yun'er's voice was already trembling. Even as a peerless and unparalleled Demonic Path ruler, she could not calm her excitement and agitation.
Xiao Yao stepped onto the 128th floor and saw an old man dressed in a black robe with auspicious purple patterns.
This person must be the final gatekeeper.
"In twenty million years, you are the first Demonic Path cultivator to arrive here. I have been waiting for you for quite some time!"
