Chapter 954: Did You Kill All the Monsters? Are We Fighting Air?
Divine-Demon Tower, 0th Floor.
"The Flame Huang Sect is just too domineering!"
"Yeah, they actually said they've rented the entire floor for three days?"
"Heh heh, they're so arrogant. Let's see if they get wiped out completely!"
...
At this moment, both inside and outside the tower on the 0th floor of the Divine-Demon Tower, over a hundred thousand powerful individuals from various races were gathered, all looking discontentedly at the banner hanging at the entrance of the tower. The banner displayed a line of bold characters:
Flame Huang Sect has rented the floor for three days! Trespassers will be killed!
Many of the powerful individuals from various races couldn't help but feel dissatisfied upon seeing this line.
Soon after, some bold and usually arrogant experts, including those at the late Nascent Soul stage and even some Nascent Soul realm demon existences, as well as some powerful demons with nearly 60 demonic marks, entered the tower. However, none of them returned.
Many powerful individuals from various races on the 0th floor of the Divine-Demon Tower finally realized how terrifying the Flame Huang Sect was.
Moreover, at this moment, most of them were waiting for the Flame Huang Sect's Sect Master, He Yiming, to arrive.
Obviously...
He Yiming had indeed arrived!
Both sides were getting ready to take action!
No wonder the Flame Huang Sect had rented the floor and prohibited entry for three days. What they feared the most was that someone would climb up from the 0th floor and launch a surprise attack from behind!
It could be said that, at a time when everyone was well aware that a massive battle between various powers was about to take place within the Divine-Demon Tower, those who entered the tower for testing were likely to be spies sent by forces opposing He Yiming. No wonder the Flame Huang Sect had rented the floor and planned to annihilate anyone who entered.
So, most powerful individuals from various races decided not to enter the tower for now. After all, waiting for three days was nothing to beings with a lifespan of several thousand or tens of thousands of years. Why must they rush into the tower and get entangled in this conflict?
By now, three hours had passed. He Yiming, being sure that no one would dare to enter the tower anymore, finally opened his eyes.
"All disciples, begin the test!"
"Boom boom boom!!!" As He Yiming spoke, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the crowd.
Dressed in dazzling attire that resembled stars, with eyes as dark as ink, this figure had no feet but rather ankles that seemed like mist. Their hands only had three fingers!
It was the examiner responsible for the tower climbing test, the True Spirit Night!
"True Spirit Night, I greet the Supreme Sovereign!!" Upon seeing He Yiming, the True Spirit Night once again respectfully knelt and saluted.
"Good! Let's start the test directly!" He Yiming nodded and waved his hand.
"Understood!" The True Spirit Night stood up and simply moved a finger.
"Boom rumble!"
Twelve pitch-black gates slowly rose up and appeared in front of the crowd.
Each gate was identical, with the only difference being the numbers inscribed on them, ranging from one to twelve.
"All disciples, choose the first gate and pass through it quickly!" He Yiming said calmly.
"Yes!!!" The players were overjoyed. According to the information summarized by theorists and others earlier, the first gate was the most challenging!
Hehehe, I love a good challenge!
"Click!" As the players rushed into the first gate one after another, a scene occurred.
"...?" Before the last player entered, they paused and turned around to look at He Yiming.
It was Ling Tianyu!
"Entrust the lurking mission in the Divine-Demon Tower to you!" Through a private message, He Yiming entrusted the task to Ling Tianyu.
"Got it!" Ling Tianyu nodded and then stepped into the first gate.
Inside the first gate.
"Boom boom boom!!!" Thirty thousand water giants, each formed from the terrifying Honghuang Primordial Water Disaster at the mid Nascent Soul stage, appeared simultaneously. Their imposing aura shook the heavens!
The test of the first gate was to withstand these thirty thousand powerful beings at the mid Nascent Soul stage for a full hour!
However...
"Crack!" Wang Lufei took a step forward and stood before the water giants, which were all formed from the Honghuang Primordial Water Disaster at the mid Nascent Soul stage.
"!" Many players were still preparing their stances for a fierce battle. When they saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.
"Awakening Intention Realm, Martial Will Tyrant!" Wang Lufei whispered, and his cultivation at the early Nascent Soul stage erupted!
"Boom boom boom!!!" An unbelievably crushing force that shattered space surged forth and directly swept across the entire area!
"Bang bang bang!" Facing Wang Lufei, who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, the thirty thousand water giants at the mid Nascent Soul stage couldn't withstand a single blow and were all shattered at once!
"In the previous version, you guys were just lackeys! Now, you dare to stand in my way?" Wang Lufei said arrogantly.
"???" However, over ten thousand players tilted their heads in unison.
What the heck?
I haven't even made a move yet, and damn it, the monsters are already gone?
Can you really do it like this?
"Lufei, please, give us a chance to show off!"
"Lufei, you're our secret weapon. Can you wait to go last next time and let us shine first?"
"Lufei, you're already a mature elder. Can you not rush to the front and wipe out all the small monsters every time? Leave a few for us to warm up with!"
...
First-beta, second-beta, and third-beta players were nearly collapsing!
Oh my god!
Although the thirty thousand Nascent Soul mid-stage monsters were a weakened version of the Honghuang Primordial Water Disaster that everyone knew had been beaten to the ground several versions ago, Lufei, damn it, you killed all the monsters on your own!
What do we do now?
Are we just fighting air?
We were all fired up after listening to Ming-ge's impassioned speech, and we all struck poses, ready for battle!
And now, damn it, the monsters are gone?
We were all excited for nothing!!!
"Ah? Alright, so, should I be the last to go?" Wang Lufei looked at everyone trying to persuade him and also became stunned.
"Exactly, Lufei, in a while, when the fighting starts, don't go first. Let us show off first!"
"Sure, Lufei, you're a king facing a king, a general facing a general, and a pawn facing a pawn! You're the king, wait for the king on the opposite side to make a move before you go!"
"Deal, Lufei, watch my corpse. If I die, you can step in, don't hesitate!"
...
Many players quickly used various good words to convince Wang Lufei.
"Congratulations on passing the test!" At this moment, the True Spirit Night also spoke slowly.
"Boom!!!" Light radiated as the players walked out of the first gate and slowly reappeared.
"Feeling good!" He Yiming lowered his head and glanced at the mission from the system.
"Clan Legendary Mission! Rise of the Flame Huang Sect!"
Become the number one sect! And gain the submission of the nine major domains of the Central Continent! Task progress: 46.5%."
"Objective 2: Conquer three new regions in the Demon Realm and establish three new cities. Task progress: 2/3."
"Objective 3: Go to the Divine-Demon Tower and have at least six disciples earn the title of Tower Climber! 6."
"Remaining time for the task: ...
...
"This wave is completed, and the mission rewards are definitely not low!" He Yiming nodded in satisfaction.
So, he waved his hand!
"Go! Disciples!"
"Tell those who block the way, who truly is the most exceptional, powerful, handsome, and vigorous existence in the Divine-Demon Tower!"
...
With a mighty wave of He Yiming's hand, over ten thousand players ignited at once!
They couldn't grab any monsters at the entrance.
And now, after entering the first gate, they couldn't grab any monsters.
By now, many players were on the verge of exploding!
Right now, hundreds of thousands of powerful beings were waiting upstairs. Hehe...
Isn't it time for a magnificent performance?
As for He Yiming, he just smiled slightly, crossed his legs, and his true body remained unmoving.
Since he had been targeted, it was only natural to let the players charge into the fray!
Who knew if there were any heaven-defying experts hiding among the crowd, waiting to ambush him!
To be cautious, he left his true body on the first floor, where there was no danger!
Of course, he still needed to make some moves.
So, He Yiming had a thought!
A shadow clone of He Yiming slowly stood up, and after He Yiming injected his consciousness, he controlled it. With the players in front...
