The central region of Great Desolation City was a flat expanse of land.
Unlike the rest of the city, the ground here had not cracked apart. Instead, it was remarkably well-preserved, evidently because of the weathered ancient stone tower standing quietly at the center of the land.
"Is that the Ancient Body Refining Tower?"
Liu Bai gazed at the stone tower before him...
The stone tower was dark gray, its surface seemingly covered in extremely ancient patterns that looked naturally formed. It stood there, not particularly towering, yet when Liu Bai looked at it, his breathing stalled. A terrifying pressure swept over him, making even his body ache faintly as if it might burst apart.
Liu Bai narrowed his eyes, and a trace of fervor flashed deep within them.
Ever since cultivating the Dragon Phoenix Body, Liu Bai's fighting style had changed somewhat. Close combat, which he had always avoided in the past, was no longer his weakness. He had even begun to enjoy that bloody, violent sensation of fists striking flesh.
And this Ancient Body Refining Tower was the best opportunity to further improve his physique!
"Be careful. The Ancient Body Refining Tower isn't simple. Not only you—even a Lower Earthly Sovereign wouldn't dare barge in recklessly!" Jiu You noticed the change in Liu Bai's mood and hurriedly warned him.
"Heh, don't worry. I'm not that rash." Liu Bai replied with a faint smile.
As the two spoke, the people originally gathered around the Ancient Body Refining Tower turned to look at the four of them.
Liu Bai swept his gaze around before looking in one direction.
Four burly figures stood there like iron towers.
The four wore black armor, exuding dense murderous auras. Their pupils were slightly crimson, and each had a dark rhinoceros horn on their forehead.
