Depleted Immortal Power, Only For You

Wang Wen's forehead veins bulged.

Looking at the Scepter, he thought angrily:

What does that mean? Are we doomed?

What happened to the promise that "any statement that begins with 'I swear' will come true"?

Why are you playing dead more and more these days? Do you think I farted?

Before advancing to the next level, encountering an unfulfilled vow can at least drain people dry.

Why did it stop progressing after advancing to the next level?

Is it getting worse the further you go?

Wang Wen vigorously shook the [Oath Scepter].

He vowed that the fusion of the artifact spirits would not fail.

This time, the energy has shifted.

It all drained away in one go!

The crucial point is that the Scepter was still shaking even after it was empty.

As Wang Wen, pale-faced, pondered whether or not to activate [Unity with Heaven and Man].

The Scepter twitched, then stopped shaking.

Wang Wen was confused again. Did this mean the prediction had come true or not?

His overall physical attributes have now been enhanced to level nine.

That's equivalent to 512 of his own sets.

If he couldn't blow up a planet with one punch, he could at least shatter a concrete wall.

More importantly, the overall improvement in quality means that the recovery speed in all aspects will be accelerated in a unified manner.

Energy recovery speed increases during rest, reaching approximately one-thousandth of the original energy level in about 7 minutes.

It's equivalent to recovering about 10% in about 12 hours.

However, by using the Spirit Recovery Technique to restore energy, the recovery speed reaches a high rate of one-thousandth of the original amount every two minutes.

That means it takes about 3.5 hours to recover 10%.

It's much faster than the seemingly endless, snail's pace of level seven.

Right now, in just a short while...

The energy that had just been drained from him was slightly replenished through the natural recovery process of the Spirit Restoration Technique.

Although it might only be around one in ten thousand.

But that's enough to make me swear an oath again.

So he tried again to swear that the fusion would not fail.

The Scepter trembled again.

Energy depleted.

The Scepter stopped.

Not again?

What's the meaning??

Reluctant to destroy this world, Wang Wen immediately sat down and activated her Spirit Recovery Technique to accelerate recovery.

He planned to recover more power at once to see if the Scepter would still work.

The fact that energy is consumed proves that the oath is valid.

That depends on how much you need.

Those around him were so frightened by his actions that they dared not breathe.

The little Fox transformed back into human form, looked at Wang Wen's pale face, and cautiously asked the thin little boy who seemed to have a good relationship with Wang Wen, "Greetings, little fox spirit. May I ask what the immortal is doing? Why has he suddenly become so weak?"

The skinny little boy stared at Wang Wen speechlessly.

Recalling the vows he had just made.

To summarize, the explanation to the Fox was. "He probably doesn't want to destroy this world; he's relying solely on his own energy to save your life, but the required amount is likely enormous, so he's working hard to recover."

It starts with "your destiny".

The Fox couldn't hear the rest of the sentence at all.

It felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her mind.

My eyes were instantly blurred with tears.

Only one voice kept echoing in my mind:

He exhausted all his immortal power just to protect me?

He exhausted all his divine power just to protect me!

The Fox slowly approached Wang Wen, who was practicing her internal energy.

He reached out a trembling hand, wanting to touch that pale face.

But it stopped in mid-air, not daring to cross.

She pressed her red lips tightly together, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.

My chest hurts so much I can hardly breathe.

At this moment, Wang Wen, who had recovered two-thousandths of her energy, stopped her Spirit Recovery Technique and opened her eyes.

She glanced strangely at the Fox standing there in front of her, now back in human form, crying.

I thought she was afraid of death and began to sentimentally reminisce about her life as a fox.

Time was limited, and I didn't have time to comfort her.

Pick up the Scepter and continue the test.

The oath is made.

Energy void.

Wang Wen's ninth-level body finally began to show the aftereffects of being drained, just like when she was still weak.

He started bleeding from his nose.

The Tower Climber were shocked.

He quickly took out the medical supplies Wang Wen had given him and rushed over to save the person.

The Fox dared not hinder the immortals' progress.

I was awkwardly pushed aside.

I stared blankly at that vibrant color.

Her world collapsed.

There was chaos and confusion for quite a while.

Wang Wen's bleeding finally stopped.

His head was throbbing; ever since he acquired the Scepter, even the timed escape room couldn't expel the aftereffects from him.

Having not experienced this in a long time, I was a bit overwhelmed by the sudden ordeal.

Wang Wen waved his hand, pulled over the flying vehicle, checked the time, and said to the dazed Fox, "I don't have enough energy this time. Quickly find a few evil demons with the strength of your sister to help me catch up. I'm leaving now, we'll talk about it next time."

As the Fox meticulously listed the list of evil demons, it looked at Wang Wen with tears streaming down its face.

She knew.

The immortal was using the lives of other demons to return to the celestial realm and report on her "mission" in place of her own.

How long can this kind of deception last?

Would you rather be seriously injured and fail in your duty than fail to protect me?

Why did it come to this?

She looked at Wang Wen and choked up, saying, "Immortal, just take the little fox in. Whether she lives or dies, she will have no regrets in this life. Please don't waste your immortal power on her. The little fox isn't worth it!"

"Direct fusion?" Wang Wen looked at her, puzzled, and thought for a moment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It would have been possible before, but not now! They swallowed so much of my energy; I won't be satisfied until we achieve a 100% fusion!"

The Fox must have heard or understood something.

She cried so hard she could barely stand.

Wang Wen felt a surge of frustration as she thought about how her hard-earned energy had been drained again.

Looking at the sobbing, cross-dressing monster again, I couldn't help but yell at her, "Stop crying! I'm not even crying, what are you crying for?!"

The Fox quickly wiped away its tears.

She sobbed and hiccuped repeatedly.

They watched as Wang Wen teleported one infamous, brutal monster after another to their vicinity and crushed them from a distance.

As she estimated the quantity, she whispered before Wang Wen left, "Immortal, may I make you food again next time?"

Wang Wen was leading the entire team through the portal to the level.

All I could hear were the mechanical sounds of aircraft.

The distant buzzing of the Fox was completely muffled.

He asked her loudly, puzzled, "What did you say?"

The Fox quickly shook its head. "No, it's nothing..."

Enveloped in white light.

Wang Wen looked at the Fox in the distance with suspicion, thinking that the fox had probably lost its mind after years of cultivation.

Why does it look so silly when it's clearly Fox?

If it weren't for her sincerity and decent strength, I really wouldn't want this artifact spirit; it's such a hassle.

He waved his hand impatiently.

The Fox in the distance quickly waved back.

The figure vanished enveloped in a white light.

Cleared the 500th floor.

Stand on the ground floor of the 501st floor.

Without hesitation, Wang Wen activated [Unity with Heaven and Man] and vowed to restore her energy.

These loosely layered foods are especially not very palatable.

It was gone in just a couple of bites.

The outside world was a void, a pitch-black space devoid of energy. Fortunately, there was no clear progress across the several levels; as long as the fixed mechanisms were solved, the level could be cleared.

I said that a long time ago.

Brute-force attacks are certainly considered hacking.

It's just that most Tower Climber are unwilling to waste their energy on skill-based levels and resort to brute-force attacks to clear them.

Now, with the concept of "Unity with Heaven and Man" providing a feedback loop, the more forceful the solution, the better.

Wang Wen sensed the speed at which she could gain energy using [Unity with Heaven and Man] after reaching the ninth level of physical constitution, and even felt that the previously difficult method of charging through the tower was now worth trying!

The strategy involves using your own energy to progress through integer-numbered levels, and then using [Unity with Heaven and Man] to restore energy while clearing scattered levels.

With these two working together, you'll never need to stop to recover energy or do anything else; you can just keep going up the tower to the thousandth floor!

Unfortunately, there's a crucial issue here that's difficult to resolve.
