Ten beams of light surged with overwhelming power, moving at an extreme speed. Luo Feng and the other nine soldiers had no time to dodge and were completely engulfed.
“This is the second level of the Wuqi Tower.”
“You all will be transported to a small world where you will be attacked. What you must do is survive all the attacks within that small world.”
“There are two groups of soldiers here. The first group has rested for a while and their divine bodies have recovered significantly. The second group must quickly recover. The two groups will be transported one after the other!”
“Those who hide inside warships to avoid battle will be destroyed.”
A majestic voice echoed in the minds of Luo Feng and the other ten soldiers.
Immediately afterward,
The five soldiers, including the youth in the dark red armor, instantly experienced space-time tremors and were transported to distant parts of this dark red, scorching land. Looking afar, the five soldiers were scattered, each trapped within a small world approximately a billion kilometers in diameter.
“Hurry and recover your divine bodies.”
“Quickly.”
“Try your best to recover.”
Luo Feng and his group remained calm and watched as soldiers like Xu Zhong immediately used various treasures to accelerate their recovery.
Treasures for restoring divine bodies required time to take effect. Just like how, after finishing the battle in the first level, they were immediately sent here one after another—staying longer in the first level was impossible. Fortunately, Wuqi Tower had been well-designed, granting them time for the treasures within their bodies to work and gradually restore their divine forms.
…
The youth in the dark red armor surveyed his surroundings—a small world with a diameter of a billion kilometers.
Boom!
Above, a massive ancient rune diagram with a diameter of a billion kilometers appeared. Composed of countless colorful runes, this ancient diagram covered the entire land below. Then, with a thunderous roar, the ancient rune diagram suddenly began emitting beams of light downward!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” A series of light beams wildly slashed and pierced downward!
The youth in dark red armor held a silver curved blade. With a clang, he blocked one of the beams aimed at him. The impact force from the beam instantly sent him flying backward, tumbling midair.
Because the ancient rune diagram was unleashing countless beams across the sky,
he was still struck by other beams while flying backward.
“Too strong!”
“Each beam is comparable to an attack from a True God!”
“I must rely on mechanical-flow treasures.” Frightened, the youth in dark red armor immediately saw rings forming around his legs. Silver patterns wrapped around his legs and soon spread across his entire body. Instantly, the youth’s speed increased, and he could now block the incoming beams without being knocked away.
…
In five small worlds, five soldiers.
Each soldier was being ravaged by the ‘small world.’
“It doesn’t seem too dangerous.”
“It’s much better than the first level of Wuqi Tower. In the first level, we fought among ourselves, and at least half of us died. This level is a battle against the small world… I estimate many can survive.” Luo Feng and the other four soldiers watched. Luo Feng remained silent while the other soldiers whispered among themselves, occasionally glancing toward Luo Feng.
Luo Feng gazed at the five small worlds in the distance.
Indeed.
Each of the five small worlds had ancient rune diagrams continuously bombarding from above, but their threat level was only equivalent to that of an ordinary True God. Once using mechanical-flow treasures, the five soldiers could withstand the attacks.
“Perhaps the first level was too deadly, so this level is easier?” Luo Feng thought.
Soon, Luo Feng realized he was wrong!
…
Just when the five soldiers inside the five small worlds began to relax a little,
“It’s troublesome, but manageable.” While the five soldiers kept resisting, suddenly the ground trembled.
Boom! Boom! Boom~~~
The ground in all five small worlds trembled. The previously cracked earth, especially the scorching red liquid beneath the cracks, now surged upward, spilling onto the surface. The scorching liquid forced the five soldiers to fly into the air, afraid to land.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!” The red-hot liquid rapidly gathered and continuously merged.
In a short while,
It formed a towering red-hot giant! Then, the surface of the red-hot giant began to solidify—from a liquid giant into a dark red rock giant! Moreover, the surface of this rock giant still had streams of hot liquid flowing…
“Roar~~~”
Five dark red rock giants simultaneously raised their heads and roared. On the ground, cracks continued to spew red liquid, connecting to the bodies of the dark red giants.
Boom! Boom! Boom~~~
The skies of the five small worlds continuously bombarded downward. Many beams struck the dark red rock giants, causing parts of their rock bodies to break off. However, the broken pieces quickly transformed back into red liquid, recondensing onto the giants’ bodies, causing no real damage.
With earth-shaking roars,
The five dark red rock giants simultaneously charged toward the five soldiers. These dark red rock giants either trampled with massive feet or swung giant rock fists through the air… In the first clash alone, all five soldiers were sent flying.
“Not good.”
“This is too brutal.”
“Now they’re in trouble.”
The five soldiers, including Luo Feng, who were still resting and recovering their divine forms, were also greatly startled. They could immediately tell the dire situation the five soldiers in the small worlds were facing.
From the first clash alone, they could judge—
The dark red rock giants definitely possessed True God-level combat strength! Although these rock giants lacked protective gear like armor, they were continuously replenished by the endless red liquid below. Even if injured, they could regenerate—truly possessing an ‘undying body.’
Dealing with the rock giants alone would be manageable.
But remember, the ancient rune diagram’s beams were raining down endlessly! Before, when facing the beams alone, they could mostly dodge and only occasionally had to block. Now, under constant attacks from the dark red rock giants, the five soldiers couldn’t fully focus on dodging the beams, causing them to be continuously struck.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Continuously bombarded by beams.
The five soldiers were in a terrible state.
If they tried their hardest to dodge the beams, they’d easily be sent flying by the rock giants.
Endless beams rained down! The rock giants roared! The five soldiers were extremely battered, their divine energy rapidly depleting…
…
The five soldiers who were still safe and watching from the side wore serious expressions.
The previous five soldiers were in a terrible state within the small worlds, facing constant danger. It wasn’t that these five soldiers were weak—it was truly dangerous inside the small worlds.
“What should we do?”
“We’ll probably face similar dangers! Endless beams from the sky, plus having to deal with the rock giants… How can we fight? Dodging the beams leaves us vulnerable to the giants. Blocking the giants leaves us exposed to the beams. At this rate, our divine bodies will deplete too quickly—we might not last until the end.”
The soldiers grew anxious.
The other four soldiers panicked, but Luo Feng remained relatively calm, though his expression was serious: “This level of danger isn’t a big deal to me. But after the ancient rune diagram’s beams and the emergence of the rock giants, will there be a third danger? Or even a fourth?”
The ancient rune diagram and the rock giants—these two dangers Luo Feng wasn’t worried about.
He feared more dangers emerging one after another.
No matter how strong he was, eventually he would be overwhelmed.
“Among the elite soldiers entering Wuqi Tower, ten usually survive only one.”
“If only one survives, then I will be that one.” Luo Feng nodded to himself, continuing to focus on the unfolding scene.
…
Wuqi Tower was the tallest building in the Divine King Valley.
Nearby, not far away, stood a three-story silver-gray ancient palace. Outside this palace stood a group of True God guards. This was the highest authority center for the entire Divine King Valley’s ‘guardianship.’
On the third floor of the silver-gray palace,
Inside an extremely vast hall, there were four enormous thrones. On the leftmost throne was a massive swirl of black mist. The black mist trembled, covering nearly half of the massive throne. Only the throne’s legs were faintly visible beneath the mist, which continuously exuded an evil aura.
The other three thrones were empty.
Not a single figure occupied them.
“Hu~~” In the center of the hall, a light screen appeared midair, displaying the scene of the second level of Wuqi Tower—the five soldiers struggling desperately in the five small worlds.
“Worthless…”
A sigh came from within the black mist. “Truly worthless. This batch of soldiers is still useless. At this rate, who knows when we’ll finally see that extraordinary individual the Divine King seeks.”
It was one of the four commanders of the Divine King Valley.
Though merely a Void True God, it had been personally enfeoffed by the Divine King, becoming a titled expert. Even though it was on the same level as the Master of the Northern True Sea and others, it could easily annihilate the Master of the Northern True Sea…
“Too weak.”
“Too weak.”
“They perform this poorly already at the second level of Wuqi Tower! Generation after generation of elite soldiers—some were even stronger than them… yet none succeeded. As for them, they have even less hope.” The spreading black mist released a hoary sigh. Jinzhi World was the Divine King’s domain, and the Divine King Valley was where the Divine King resided.
There was truly no danger, and no need for guards.
Yet it had been stationed here… because of the Divine King’s trust. The ‘guardian’ mission was merely a formality—the real mission was to find that extraordinary individual capable of reaching the ninth level of Wuqi Tower.
“It’s been too long.”
“The only mission the Divine King entrusted to us.”
“We have yet to fulfill it. If someone could ascend to the top of Wuqi Tower, I would gladly die.” The hoary voice from within the black mist carried infinite guilt toward the Divine King.
“Has the selection competition within Jinzhi World not been harsh enough? Must it become even crueler?” The hoary voice murmured from within the black mist.
On the light screen in the center of the grand hall,
The other five soldiers were also transported and began being sent to their respective small worlds.
