On the glowing screen, Golden-Claw Divine Peak Luo Feng kept dodging the massive stone hands midair each time, mocking the dark red stone giant, and even at the beginning, the countless beams of light shot down couldn’t touch him.
But…
As the ancient mystic pattern map continuously descended, the distance became increasingly shorter! This made Luo Feng’s evasion more and more strenuous, occasionally getting hit.
“Annihilation, activate the first stage of Burning Divine Power!” Luo Feng finally couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Ha ha… This soldier, Luo Feng, finally used the Burning Divine Power technique.”
“He truly had patience, waiting until now to use the divine power technique.”
“As a special legion soldier, the basic inheritance includes one stage of Burning Divine Power technique, so he should naturally know it.” The four commanders saw this scene on the screen and immediately laughed.
Once the divine power technique was activated, Luo Feng’s attack, defense, speed, and dodging ability immediately increased by a level.
Previously struggling and in a mess, he suddenly became relaxed again.
Midair… simultaneously dealing with the stone hands, the dark red stone giant, and countless beams of light was now effortless!
After several more minutes passed.
The ancient mystic pattern map descended lower and lower, even gradually forcing Luo Feng to descend, making him have to lower his altitude. He couldn’t possibly fly right next to the ancient mystic pattern map, as once he did, there would be no way to dodge the ‘beams of light.’
“This soldier, Luo Feng, is not threatened by this second layer.”
“Yeah, although the final moments of this second layer will cause him some losses, his divine body has hardly been consumed at all, no impact.”
Each of the commanders spoke thus.
…
In the second layer of the Wuqi Tower, within the nine small worlds.
“Still not over yet?”
The dark red armored youth was fleeing frantically, as the ancient mystic pattern map had descended to a height merely a million kilometers above the ground. At such a low altitude, flight couldn’t be high anymore. The stone hands emerging from the cracks in the ground could easily cover the armored youth.
“Peng peng peng~~~” At such close range, the beams of light successively struck him, but the armored youth ignored them, because at this point there was no possibility of dodging anymore. He focused all his attention on the ground below.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as a stone hand emerged, the armored youth immediately dodged.
“No!” The armored youth desperately tried to dodge, but found his speed insufficient. The palm, a million kilometers wide, only partially emerged from the surface crack, yet grabbed him in one go.
“My divine body has suffered too much loss; my strength has dropped too much. Even at full speed, I can’t dodge anymore.” The armored youth felt sorrow in his heart, yet still desperately controlled his weapon to attack the stone hand from within.
“Roar~~~” The dark red stone giant instantly rushed up, slapping the armored youth repeatedly with wild swings.
He was slapped over twenty times in an instant!
Swoosh!
Finally escaping from the stone hand, he whistled away, but beams of light from the high altitude came one after another.
“I can’t go on anymore…” The armored youth felt his divine body weakening more and more, the rate of decline accelerating.
“Peng!”
Just as a stone hand emerged from the underground crack, before it could even grab the armored youth, the youth was directly struck into oblivion by the beam of light, leaving only some battle armor and mechanical treasures falling down.
Another soldier perished!
…
About half a minute after the armored youth’s demise.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
The small worlds of three surviving soldiers among the first five soldiers instantly vanished, and the stone giants transformed into crimson liquid, flowing into the ground cracks, everything dissipating.
The three surviving soldiers were stunned.
“Ha, still alive, I’m still alive!”
“I was already desperate.”
“It’s over, ha ha, finally over.”
“Just a moment longer, and I would have been finished. It’s over.” The three surviving soldiers cried and laughed, having endured endless torment, struggling continuously, until finally, the best among them had only one-tenth of their initial strength left! The weakest… had less than one-thousandth of their previous strength, and would have perished in just a little more time!
They survived with great difficulty.
These three soldiers soon sobered up from their joy and excitement.
“What should we do? Our divine bodies are now so weak, our strength so fragile! This is only the second layer of the Wuqi Tower. There are still the third, fourth, and fifth layers ahead… How can we survive?”
“Yeah, our strength has become this weak.”
The three soldiers were deeply worried.
“We’re weak, but other soldiers are also weak! Then it’s fair… Perhaps the Wuqi Tower will also provide treasures to restore our divine bodies.”
“What do you mean other soldiers are also weak? Look, that soldier from the Manhe Army can still suppress the dark red stone giant.” As one soldier pointed to the distance, the other two soldiers also looked.
Indeed, among Luo Feng’s group of five soldiers,
especially Luo Feng.
His strength remained at its peak until now. Especially after activating the first stage of Burning Divine Power, he could even suppress the dark red stone giant. He often used the dark red stone giant as a ‘shield,’ not only to block the beams of light but also the stone hands.
“He’s actually this strong!”
The three surviving soldiers sighed in admiration.
Suddenly—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three beams of light suddenly descended, enveloping the three surviving soldiers. Instantly, the three soldiers disappeared.
“Gone to the third layer of the Wuqi Tower?” Luo Feng glanced at this, “Two of their previous group of five died, and the other three weakened to an extremely low level. Our group will probably be similar.”
…
As the ancient mystic pattern map continued to descend, the soldiers in Luo Feng’s group faced increasingly dire situations, and finally, a soldier perished!
Moments later, it ended.
Surprisingly, three soldiers from Luo Feng’s group also survived.
“We survived.”
“Haha, we survived.” The other two soldiers were overjoyed, but upon seeing Luo Feng, they instinctively moved away.
Luo Feng glanced at them, his gaze settling on the tall, thin ‘Xuzhong,’ and he softly laughed, “Lucky, still alive.”
Xuzhong was frightened, filled with regret, as he realized this terrifying soldier, Luo Feng, held a grudge.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three beams of light descended, enveloping Luo Feng and the other two, instantly teleporting them away.
…
The third layer of the Wuqi Tower was a vast grassland.
As Luo Feng and his two companions appeared.
“The fourth batch has arrived.”
“The fourth batch, like the third, survived three soldiers.”
Voices came one after another.
As Luo Feng appeared, he swept his gaze to the distant surroundings, seeing figures scattered afar—soldiers and alien beasts, quite a number. Looking across the vast grassland, including himself, there were as many as 11 soldiers in total.
“11 soldiers?” Luo Feng murmured to himself, “The third and fourth batches survived six, so the other five soldiers must be from the first and second batches.”
“The third layer of the Wuqi Tower gathers all soldiers together?” Luo Feng thought inwardly.
Luo Feng carefully observed the surrounding soldiers.
Immediately—
The survivors from the third and fourth batches turned pale with fright, each instantly teleporting far away, then successively casting spatial seals in the surrounding vast area.
“Hmm?”
“This…”
The surviving soldiers from the first and second batches were astonished. They weren’t fools; they could all see that with just one glance from that Manhe Army soldier, the third and fourth batches of soldiers all fled far away, obviously not on the same level of strength.
“We should also retreat farther.”
“The third and fourth batch soldiers all did so. That Manhe Army soldier must be extremely terrifying.”
Though the soldiers from the first and second batches didn’t know how terrifying Luo Feng was, they cautiously teleported away one by one and sealed the surrounding space.
This scene made Luo Feng shake his head and smile.
…
Time passed, day by day.
By the sixth day, another batch of soldiers arrived, two survivors in total. Moments later, the sixth batch of soldiers also arrived, three survivors in total.
…
In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.
On the grassland of the third layer of the Wuqi Tower, there were already a total of 38 soldiers. Some newly arrived soldiers, familiar with some from the first four batches, learned of that Manhe Army soldier’s terror and also kept their distance. However, some confident ones still didn’t retreat.
“A tribal warrior has scared you like this.” A huge plant life form, coiled and blooming, had numerous bright flowers covering its body, with the largest flower having eyes and a mouth, speaking contemptuously, “Before joining the army, I killed tens of thousands of tribal warriors.” The plant life form then provocatively looked at Luo Feng.
“Your divine body is nearly a billion kilometers tall; we aren’t afraid of you either.” Some distant soldiers replied.
Surrounded by provocation and fear.
Luo Feng ignored them all.
He just stood there.
Finally—
As two more soldiers arrived, the grassland world of the third layer of the Wuqi Tower finally stirred.
“Boom~~~” Suddenly, above the grassland appeared a huge vortex, resembling ripples on water.
All forty surviving soldiers looked upward.
Buzz~~~~
Space and time trembled like ripples; regardless of where they were on the grassland, Luo Feng and the other thirty-nine soldiers were instantly teleported to directly beneath the massive vortex.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
The vortex high above suddenly descended multiple light curtains.
They directly enclosed the vast grassland area, approximately a billion kilometers in diameter, completely isolating this area from the outside world. The vortex above also reached a diameter of a billion kilometers.
Whoosh~~~
In the center of the vortex high above, suddenly appeared a giant eye. This enormous eye looked down, instantly making everyone below, including Luo Feng, feel as if their souls had frozen.
“Wuqi Tower!” An ancient voice echoed in every soldier’s mind, “The first three layers have life-and-death dangers.”
“As long as you survive the first three layers, there will be no more danger of death.”
“Starting from the fourth layer, there will even be various inheritances, rewards, etc… The higher you climb, the greater the benefits you gain.” The ancient voice said, “Of course, you must survive this third layer.”
