Chapter 452 Fifth-Order Divine Power - Ice Prison Demon Seal
A beam of white light descended from the sky and entered Wang Yu's brow, successfully delivering a large amount of information contained within it.
"Fifth-tier Divine Power - Ice Prison Demon Seal..."
Wang Yu took a deep breath.
Ice Dao Divine Power is indeed suitable for him; it can definitely unleash its maximum power in his hands, and with the effect of the placement slot, he can easily free up a space.
After a decade or so of practice, he could acquire a skill that could replace his innate supernatural power and become his most powerful trump card, but that is precisely the problem.
The difficulty of perfecting a fifth-order divine power is too great, and its current cultivation cost-effectiveness is not high. Its true value lies in its ability to break through the limits of the Ice Prison Realm by leveraging the power of the placement bar.
From a long-term perspective, it is still quite suitable.
The power spike was a little too long.
He originally thought it would be a physical supernatural power suitable for physical exertion, since the Demon Dragon Fist was gradually losing its intensity, while the Ten Directions Frozen Demon Fist was ultimately a spiritual supernatural power.
The focus is on control ability rather than physical strength.
After he finished reading all the information about the Ice Prison Demon Seal, his complexion improved considerably, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
This supernatural power condenses an ice prison with extreme cold, then condenses it into a small seal, compressing the power into a tiny space, and then suddenly bursting forth, enough to freeze space.
It combines the effects of control, damage, and suppression.
The first level, "Ice Prison Suppresses Heaven and Earth," the second level, "Extreme Cold Freezes the Boundless," and the third level, "Divine Might Like a Prison Seal," each correspond to three different effects.
The fourth level is the final move, containing the pinnacle of magical intent [Demon Suppression Intent], possessing unimaginable demon-suppressing power, though its name is Demon Seal.
It is actually derived from the idea of suppressing demons, and it is said to be very effective against ancient demons or creatures corrupted by their power.
Upon closer examination, the ancient celestial dynasty was the period when the residual power of the immortals in the upper realm was at its greatest, so it is not surprising that they possessed this type of supernatural power.
There are seven display slots, three of which are always occupied by the fundamental techniques.
The remaining four are currently occupied by the Twelve Phases of Guanghan, the Aurora Escape Technique, and the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique, while the last one, Wang Yu, has replaced it with the Ice Prison Demon Seal.
After finishing the sorting, Wang Yu took out the Rainbow Feather Stone again.
The reason why the Aurora Escape Technique appeared in the placement bar was that Wang Yu was trying to comprehend the meaning of the Aurora Technique. With the two combined, he would obtain a perfect fifth-order escape technique.
Speed is among the top in Ice Prison, as long as the consumption can be withstood.
The world is vast, and you can go anywhere there.
Speed means you can do whatever you want, but since he has already grasped the essence of Asura, it will be much more difficult for him to grasp the essence of Aurora. He plans to let the placement panel take full responsibility.
Waiting a hundred or eighty years will be enough.
Before the Holy Lord's trip to the Heavenly Palace, he will definitely be able to master the fifth-order Aurora Escape Technique, which will give him a better chance of competing with those demon kings.
The Rainbow Feather Stone is shaped like a seven-colored feather and is perfectly suited to the Aurora Escape Technique. Refining it is as simple as eating and drinking.
After being refined with the Ice Dragon Flame, it turned into a liquid and merged into Wang Yu's body, while the brilliant colorful spiritual light was sent into the core of the escape technique rune.
The form suddenly became more mysterious and complex.
Visible colored light emanated from Wang Yu's body, making him resemble a glass statue. Several hours later, the refining process was completed.
The Aurora Escape Technique was successfully upgraded to the fourth-tier top-grade.
Wang Yu's speed has increased dramatically, making up for the biggest weakness of the Nascent Soul stage. The changes brought about are quite significant. If he were to face the Sky-Tearing Eagle again, he would be able to win more easily.
It shouldn't have resulted in such severe injuries.
During the rest period, Wang Yu continued to meditate and practice his internal energy to recover. The damage to his body had long been repaired by his vitality, unless his physical body was completely destroyed.
Otherwise, ordinary injuries would be meaningless to Wang Yu.
His recovery ability is also a major strength. Whether it's the Corpse Demon Secret Technique or the strong vitality of a Body Refiner, it's enough to make him stand out from the crowd.
Twelve hours later.
The tower spirit's voice rang out again.
[Do you wish to proceed to the 151st floor?]
"Give up, send me out of the tower."
If he insisted on climbing the tower, he could climb another ten or twenty floors, but there was absolutely no chance of reaching the top. He might as well give up early and go outside the tower to ambush the rich man from the Yellow Springs Temple.
As Wang Yu made his choice, a white beam of light suddenly fell from the sky. His vision went black and then bright, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Star Tower.
Along with it came a token.
The top reads "Ranked 299th on the Heavenly Star List," while the back contains a short evaluation and recommendation.
He wrote: "A person with unparalleled combat prowess and extraordinary talent should be recruited into the Imperial Guard for training, starting as a general in one of the twelve elite cavalry divisions."
The evaluation is very high, but there are no other references.
It's difficult to determine exactly what level it's at.
"The Celestial Star Ranking... 299."
He muttered to himself.
Making it into the top 300 by a hair's breadth means that this token can take him into the palace, an area that has never been explored before and holds countless hidden opportunities—just thinking about it is enough to make one's heart flutter.
Pause for a moment to calm these chaotic thoughts.
Wang Yu became more vigilant and even drew his Blood and Flesh Demon Sword.
The moment he stepped out of the tower, a strange power enveloped him, and he instantly left the tower and appeared beside the Proud Sun Demon.
Slightly surprised, he put the sword he had raised back down.
"Greetings, Grandfather Liezu."
"Sigh, you should have gone through a few more levels..."
The old demon of the blazing sun sighed, feeling it was a great pity that Wang Yu hadn't considered his own interests. Since he had chosen to give up the opportunity of the Heavenly Star Tower, he naturally hoped that these younger generations could persevere.
The higher the level you climb, the better. Currently, Wang Yu's ranking is considered the best. Among Core Formation cultivators, Tong Du of the Five Yin Peak has the highest ranking.
The 880th person, on the 19th floor.
Despite having a higher floor than Wang Yu, the difficulty level is much lower. Based on the pattern, Tong Du will at most face opponents at the late Core Formation stage, so it's not surprising that he can climb even higher.
He was mainly older than Wang Yu by about a hundred years.
Among the Nascent Soul cultivators, the number on the list was not large. Only cultivators close to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, such as Di Mingzi, You Mingzi, and Bingpo Fairy, made it onto the Heavenly Star Ranking.
But they were all hanging on the tail.
Looking around, it turned out that Wang Yu had climbed the highest, no wonder the Old Demon of the Proud Sun sighed.
Their gaze shifted away from the Tianxing Stone Tablet.
Wang Yu recalled his previous speculations and roughly understood what the Proud Sun Demon was thinking.
He said.
"Could Youmingzi have anticipated this? Moreover, if he obtains a precious pill that can help him break through, he will definitely choose to refine it inside the tower, where the environment is very safe."
The old demon of the blazing sun frowned.
Do you think the Heavenly Star Tower can provide an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?
"This junior dares not make a definitive statement, but the possibility of possessing it is very high."
Wang Yu sighed inwardly.
It's just that he's not strong enough. Otherwise, he would have dared to monopolize Dongjijing. Just think about the effects of the Heavenly Yin Dragon Pearl. Not to mention spiritual objects that can help cultivators break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it can even help Nascent Soul cultivators break through their bottlenecks.
These predecessors underestimated the value of the ancient celestial dynasty ruins.
He suspected that this was the reason Jiaoyang made this judgment.
Part of the reason is that the Nascent Soul Venerable has not yet arrived. Since they do not value it, the probability of having the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul Venerable has naturally decreased.
After all, Dongjijing could be explored before, but the overall situation could not be observed, and no one had ever gone this far.
The Proud Sun Demon said:
"It's too late to regret now. If we can kill this group of Nascent Soul cultivators from Huangquan Temple, their strength will be greatly reduced, the war in Yunling Prefecture can end ahead of schedule, and we can focus all our efforts on dealing with the Taihu cultivators."
Having obtained a great deal of information from Wang Yu, the Old Demon of the Proud Sun was filled with regret, but having made his decision, he was determined to see it through.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
"I wonder what arrangements the Underworld Prince has made..."
That is, a few days.
The first unlucky monk to step into the trap appeared.
That is—Cold Bones!
Upon exiting, he immediately looked at the Heavenly Star Stele and was somewhat disappointed to find that his name was not on it. After seeing the Core Formation elders of the Yellow Springs Temple, he wanted to approach them.
This movement revealed the clue.
The things around him seemed to be getting further and further away, the world suddenly turned upside down, and countless tall and verdant green bamboos suddenly rose up.
"Formation?"
This is the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Bamboo Array] illusion array, which combines spatial array techniques. It is a typical trapping array, secretly set up by the Proud Sun Old Demon.
Its grade is as high as the fourth-order superior grade, and even if Youmingzi himself came, he would not be able to break it in the first place.
Leng Gu's heart skipped a beat; he knew something bad had happened.
Following Youmingzi's instructions... he hurriedly took out a jade pendant from his storage ring and crushed it. At the same time, all the Huangquan Temple cultivators who entered the Tianxing Tower had a jade pendant shattered simultaneously.
This is a sign that something unexpected has happened.
This means that all cultivators should immediately stop trying to enter the tower and choose to leave the tower to provide assistance, so that everyone can be gathered as soon as possible. However, people are all selfish.
Just like Youmingzi, who still had some strength left.
The rewards for completing each level were still accumulating, and his eyes were bloodshot. He completely ignored the broken jade pendant, as if he had thrown everything else to the back of his mind.
Regardless of the outcome, as long as he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
He was in charge of the entire Yellow Springs Temple, so he wasn't afraid of losing any Nascent Soul cultivators.
The other Yellow Spring cultivators also harbored ulterior motives.
Fearing that they might arrive too early and their companions too late, resulting in unnecessary losses, they decided to try their luck by conquering more levels of the Heavenly Star Tower and securing all the benefits they could.
Di Mingzi had this idea: better to die than to die himself.
They only cared about feeding themselves, and were only superficially concerned about the well-being of others.
There is an element of coincidence in this situation.
But it's also related to the environment in Chiyuan; if everyone is like this, it's not surprising.
And then, a strange thing happened.
Leng Gu left the tower unnoticed, and was secretly teleported to the front of the Proud Sun Demon by a quietly activated formation, his expression filled with despair.
But I still forced myself to say it.
“Senior Youming will arrive soon. You cannot kill me. If the Demonic Overlord starts a war in Dongjijing, we will definitely not be the ones who have the last laugh... Don’t forget that the people from the Mingshan Sect are also here.”
The implied meaning.
When two tigers fight, the only outcome is mutual destruction. It would be better not to fight in the first place, since this tacit understanding has always been maintained.
He still couldn't quite understand why they had suddenly taken action.
The old demon of the blazing sun clearly had no intention of explaining to him.
With a clench of his right hand toward the sky, a blood-red sun suddenly appeared above the Azure Bamboo Formation. The crimson setting sun resembled the old demon's age, already at dusk.
But the power it displayed was simply terrifying.
If not for the array's sealing effect, once this crimson setting sun fell, the entire Eastern Capital would be affected, with a destructive range exceeding that of Wang Yu's Meteor Moon Pupil Technique.
That's incredible.
"Is this the power of a Great Perfection cultivator... It seems I'm still a very, very long way from achieving it."
After becoming alert, Wang Yu silently watched Leng Gu's powerless struggle. This person's strength was not as good as his, a dignified peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
It was crushed like an ant by the scorching sun demon.
Easy kill.
No matter how powerful his bone-path supernatural abilities were, they were all crushed into dust by the falling blood-red setting sun, and the remaining essence of flesh and blood was thrown to Wang Yu.
"I heard you also raise corpses, so I'll give you this as a gift since it's very nourishing."
"Thank you, Grandfather Liezu."
"Haha, this is the first one, there are many more to come."
Wang Yu's disrupted mood finally recovered somewhat in the face of the harvest. She shared the leftovers with Wang Yu, which was not generous but not stingy either.
As for Leng Gu's nascent soul and storage ring, they were naturally taken by the Proud Sun Demon.
A moment later.
Seeing that Wang Yu seemed to still be savoring the supernatural power he had just used.
The Old Demon of the Proud Sun laughed:
"This is the [Blood Sun Annihilation Technique], which can only be practiced by cultivators with pure Yang spiritual roots. I obtained it from the ruins of the Blood Sun Sect in the late ancient period, and it is also my famous divine ability. Is it acceptable?"
Great, absolutely great!
If I'm not mistaken, that crimson sun just now also had the effect of locking space. With such a large area, unless one uses the maximum speed of the Aurora Escape Technique, even Wang Yu wouldn't be confident of escaping.
The importance of speed is once again demonstrated.
"The Ancestor Lie is too fond of joking. If even this supernatural power doesn't work, then there are no powerful supernatural powers or methods in the world."
The little flattery made Old Demon of the Sun even happier.
Continue to camp out the Yellow Springs cultivators' spots.
Although Youmingzi's arrangement prevented them from launching a counterattack, it did resolve the crisis.
As long as they don't come out, or stay on the first floor after failing to break through the tower, and wait for a certain number of people to gather, even if there are array traps, they will be torn to shreds by the power of the crowd.
If the formation fails, the ambush becomes meaningless.
It was no different from a pure battle, which caused the old demon of the blazing sun to turn gloomy in no time.
Wang Yu was completely powerless to help.
Stroking his chin, he suddenly had an idea. He secretly used his invisibility technique, which he hadn't used in a long time, and crept up to the Heavenly Star Stone Tablet.
He held the token in one hand and touched the stone tablet with the other.
He secretly tried to communicate with the tower spirit. His request was simple: to throw the cultivators who failed to enter the tower out of the Heavenly Star Tower, as long as the teleportation point was not on the first floor.
The hidden bamboo formation will then play its due role.
This demand is both reasonable and unreasonable.
It all depended on the tower spirit's own judgment, and then a scene that surprised Wang Yu occurred.
[The proposed general of the Vanguard Cavalry has requested a reduction in the overall experience for cultivators attempting to ascend the tower. This is contrary to the etiquette of the Immortal Dynasty. Therefore, his treatment should be reduced, and he should be imprisoned in the Hall of Repentance for thirty years...]
[Please, Venerable Celestial Star, make the judgment—]
[Please, Pagoda-Bearing Messenger, make the judgment—]
[Please, King of the Void, make the judgment—]
[No response was received regarding the ruling; the alternative candidate, General of the Valiant Cavalry, has had his application approved.]
Wang Yu: "..."
That makes perfect sense, absolutely perfect.
The Celestial Star Tower Spirit is similar to a mechanical mind, lacking genuine emotions and personality, which is one of the reasons it has been able to exist for countless years.
His token actually had limited authority; it only allowed him to stroll around the palace. He couldn't open any palace with the token and just barge in.
But today, countless years after the Immortal Dynasty vanished.
The benefits are still evident.
A small mishap happened; I had just finished writing the first chapter.
Chapter Two is still being written and will probably be released around midnight, so don't wait.
(End of this chapter)
