Chapter 450 The Hundredth Layer: Rainbow Feather Stone and Golden Relic
Regardless of how fierce the battles between the righteous and the demonic forces may be, whether for resources or territory, based on existing records...
There has never been a precedent of two Nascent Soul cultivators taking action due to a defeat in war; there are only rumors of secret challenges occurring outside of wartime.
Considering the situation in the Ice Prison Realm, it's actually quite easy to draw a conclusion.
Those most eager to break free from this cage are not geniuses like Wang Yu, but those who have already reached the pinnacle; even Nascent Soul cultivators have limited lifespans.
If I cannot escape this icy prison in my lifetime.
What future can we talk about?
In Wang Yu's eyes, it was all part of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect's plan to become "prison guards".
It could be that the Yellow Springs Temple is planning to undermine the spiritual environment of the Ice Prison Realm, or that the Joyful Union Demon Sect is preparing to release the sealed ancient demon's body, thus causing chaos, by following the "ancient methods" of its predecessors.
All of it seemed too monotonous, more like a series of desperate outbursts of madness. If he were an observer from beyond the heavens, he might just let it go and watch the show.
After all, achieving any of these plans would be extremely difficult.
Aside from the possibility that releasing the ancient demon's physical body would lead to dereliction of duty by the Overseers, which might prompt them to try to stop it, the other plans are all too idealistic and completely fail to consider the difficulties involved.
In summary.
The most likely scenario is that they are feigning one thing while secretly doing another. As long as they share common interests, it is perfectly normal for Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths to cooperate.
There is no doubt that the ruins of Dongjijing will offer opportunities to enhance one's Nascent Soul cultivation. As for when the top experts will arrive, that remains to be seen.
On the other end.
[Congratulations on clearing the 70th floor! Please choose two from the following options as your Heavenly Star reward.]
【1. Alchemy Inheritance (Dan Chenzi)】
【2. Demonic Energy Infusion】
【3. Fourth-tier magic weapon (optional type)】
4. Miraculous Elixir (High-Grade Fourth Rank)
[5. Accumulate one reward share upon reaching level 80.]
Five options. The lineage of alchemy is unclear. That Dan Chenzi should be a famous alchemy master from the ancient immortal dynasty, but Wang Yu doesn't have much need for this.
For him, any fourth-order alchemy inheritance could be easily deduced to the fifth order, but he wanted to obtain the most advanced fifth-order alchemy inheritance in the Ice Prison Realm in one step.
In the future, it may be possible to break through the limits and extend it to the sixth order.
If one can refine a sixth-order precious pill, there might be a chance to break through the limitations of heaven and earth and become a Void Refinement cultivator. After all, the existence of the placement slot means that it is "open" to some extent.
The ability to accomplish the impossible has somehow become normal.
After breaking through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, Wang Yu no longer prioritized the infusion of demonic energy; he now needed to fully master this power.
"It's a pity there's no option to directly improve body refinement cultivation..."
This detail reveals that there are truly few shortcuts in body tempering, whereas there are countless shortcuts to normal spiritual energy accumulation.
After a moment's thought, Wang Yu chose 3 and 6.
"I want a true armor-type weapon."
To this day, Wang Yu has focused his main resources on his natal magic weapon and fundamental cultivation level, receiving very little support in body refinement.
Especially the natal artifact, which is almost invisible.
This is also because the strength is too low. Now, the same type of armor-type true artifact is exchanged for the use of the Demon Dragon Armor for devouring.
Back then, it was fused with the Dragon Vein Pearl, which fundamentally changed this artifact. It can be incorporated with different materials and artifacts, and it possesses a special ability to devour its own kind.
This ability originates from the growth potential of one's natal treasure, and the Dragon Vein Pearl enhances this ability.
Therefore, the Glazed Pagoda can only consume materials, while the Dragon Armor can consume similar true artifacts.
The fundamental difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
Although both are of the fourth-tier low-grade, the Glazed Pagoda's origin is as thick as that of a fourth-tier top-grade magic weapon, and it is also nourished by a massive amount of Heavenly Yin Divine Water, so there is no need to worry about it anymore.
The Demon Dragon Armor, grade low, truly is only grade low.
As body tempering is one of Wang Yu's commonly used combat methods, the fact that his weapon cannot keep up with the intensity of his attacks naturally affects his ability to perform.
If we can supplement it, we will.
After receiving the battle armor artifact as a reward from the Heavenly Star Tower, Wang Yu immediately handed it over to the Demonic Dragon Armor to devour, and then entered the seventy-first floor.
The tower spirit's voice continued to ring out.
This level of testing is a "comprehensive test"!
What Wang Yu calls the comprehensive test is a survival assessment. The terrain becomes extremely dangerous and complex, and the environment of the seventy-first floor transforms into a volcanic lava field.
There are many deadly traps and array restrictions. One careless move could trigger a chain of restrictions, putting him under immense pressure.
It tests the cultivator's ability to cope in all aspects.
The formations and restrictions both involve the fourth-order domain, and cannot be dealt with casually.
From volcanic lava fields to polar ice caps, endless wind zones, toxic jungles, and even a desolate, dark place, the sheer number of extreme environments is astonishing.
This greatly broadened Wang Yu's horizons, and he gained a lot.
Subsequently, the 80th, 90th... levels were all safely traversed thanks to the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, thus greatly increasing the power of the Demonic Dragon Armor.
Once they're "full," they can't be fed anything more in a short time.
Wang Yu also shifted his attention from magical artifacts to rare items and spiritual medicines.
…………
…………
The 100th floor.
The terrifying gale and azure rain, like a torrential downpour, fell densely from the sky, forcing Wang Yu to expend a large amount of demonic energy to maintain the durability of his protective aura.
His gaze was solemn as he watched the giant bird soaring through the sky.
"Heavenly Bloodline... Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle!"
This is the test target for him at this level. The Heavenly Grade Bloodline is equivalent to the Spiritual Body aptitude of the human race, and in some ways, it is on the same level as Wang Yu.
Fortunately, its cultivation level was only at the early stage of the fourth rank, which was still within Wang Yu's control. Compared with ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, the Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle was obviously much stronger.
Those two eagle claws that could tear through the sky could easily kill ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Just like when he fought other early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
A short while later.
The giant eagle suddenly turned around and flew backwards, letting out a deafening cry.
Space itself seemed to be distorted, leaving three long, twisted marks. Wang Yufei stepped back, and the crescent moon mark appeared in his eyes.
Void Moon Eye Technique: Space Freeze!
In an instant, the Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle was frozen in place for a brief moment. The sky suddenly darkened, and in the boundless shadow, a huge moon meteorite fell down without anyone noticing.
It blocked out all the torrential rain formed by the condensed gales.
With the adverse external environment temporarily eliminated by the meteorite, Wang Yu suddenly charged forward, already adopting a punching stance even from a distance.
Behind him, the three strange phenomena of the Yellow Springs Turbid Stream, the Asura Blood Sea, and the Extreme Cold Frost were all integrated into the power of a single punch. The Ten Directions Frozen Demon Fist's control ability not only allows for the switching of the supernatural power it controls at any time.
Furthermore, one can control and unleash power at any time based on the level of mastery achieved.
A fist imprint that combines three supernatural powers.
Suddenly growing to a size of a thousand feet, like Mount Tai crashing down, the Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle broke free from the control of the Sky Moon Pupil Technique in the instant it crashed down.
Transforming into a cyan gale, he narrowly avoided the fist imprint's attack at the last second. Wang Yu was quite surprised to see this, even though his combo was impromptu.
But the timing of the transition is absolutely perfect. Against other early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, there's a 99% chance he'll take them all down in one go.
The speed displayed by the Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle almost surpassed that of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, completely overwhelming Wang Yu's escape speed.
This discovery significantly increased the pressure on Wang Yu.
Speed advantage plays a significant role in combat. The difficulty in locking onto an opponent is enough to cause trouble, not to mention the exposure of information about the Void Moon Pupil Technique, a powerful spatial control technique.
Fortunately, the Windfeather Sky-Tearing Eagle that was grazed was not unharmed; a large black patch on its right wing looked like it had been burned.
In reality, it has been completely affected by the mixed forces, and no matter how it tries to manipulate it, it is difficult to respond. That wingtip area can be said to be completely necrotic.
Unless it is cut off and grows back, the effects will remain.
A clash of masters.
This tiny influence might just be the key to victory.
Seeing Feng Ling tear the Sky Eagle away and escape beyond the cover of the meteorite, Wang Yu's mind stirred, and his Moonfall Eye Technique underwent even more changes.
The giant meteorite suddenly split into countless boulders, transforming into a meteor shower that destroyed the earth. It mixed with the gale-force winds and raindrops, completely disrupting the power of the Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle.
With its environmental advantages negated, Skyhawk was clearly enraged.
They directly revealed their trump card.
Compared to the previous Courageous Marquis, its intelligence has increased. It is unknown whether this is due to the Tower Spirit's secret manipulation. The Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle's innate divine power is called [Seven Claws of Sky Tearing]!
It is a powerful innate divine ability that combines wind and spatial attributes, specifically passed down in the bloodline of this race.
The blue light zigzag back and forth in the sky several times.
It traced a mysterious trajectory, then suddenly turned and attacked Wang Yu again. This time, the accompanying strong spatial fluctuations could not be forcibly solidified by the Void Moon Pupil Technique.
Wang Yu took a deep breath.
The Glazed Ice Heart Pagoda flew out from the Qi Sea, and a beam of icy divine light shot up to the sky. Seven-colored aurora light overflowed from the bottom of the pagoda to bless the user, and the Aurora Escape Technique was enhanced by the magic weapon.
When the Wind Feather Sky Eagle broke through the impact of the Ice Soul Divine Light.
Wang Yu had already escaped to a great distance in a flash of light. At this distance, even if the Sky-Tearing Eagle was fast, it would still take time. This gap was enough for Wang Yu to use an even more powerful trump card.
The frosty moon crosses the sky.
All twelve strange phenomena and wonders materialized around Wang Yu, who then summoned the "Frost Sword" and sent it forward.
In an instant, it transformed into an icy blue ribbon, striking down with a sword that weakened the Sky-Tearing Eagle's power and disrupted its rhythm.
As the saying goes.
One should press on with one effort, then again and again, until the effort is exhausted.
With his offensive rhythm disrupted, Wang Yu summoned "Fairy Shadow" from the Twelve Wonders to possess the Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle, freezing it into an ice block in mid-air.
The Seven Claws of Sky Tear were completely broken.
At that moment, Wang Yu drew the "Holy Bow," and the light of the Frosty Moon descended to empower it, merging the power of the twelve phases into a single arrow.
"--call out!"
The bowstring vibrated, and the arrow's shadow, like the frosty moon, moved so fast it was almost invisible.
In the blink of an eye, a beautiful ice flower exploded in the sky, and the Wind Feather Sky-Tearing Eagle cried out as it fell to the ground, eventually turning into a phantom and gradually disappearing.
The damage caused by the various supernatural powers on the hundredth floor is quickly restored.
Wang Yu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
In this battle of wits, he tried the "pushing tactic" for the first time, also known as the kite-flying tactic, and the effect was passable, barely meeting his requirements.
The Tower Spirit reward that followed was an even bigger surprise for Wang Yu.
[Congratulations on passing the hundredth test. Please choose two from the following options.]
【1. Rainbow Feather Stone (Exclusive to defeating the Sky-Tearing Eagle)】
【2. Demonic Energy Infusion (1000 drops)】
【3. Magical Artifact (Tier 4, High Grade)】
4. Golden Relics (A Buddhist treasure, with remarkable effects on physical cultivation)
5. Miraculous Elixir (Tier 4, Top Grade)
6. Accumulate this reward to the next tier.
There were still six options. Regarding the Rainbow Feather Stone, Wang Yu had actually been searching for quite some time, but unfortunately, he had not found it.
At least he didn't have access to the Tianbao Pavilion and Jinmanlou connections, which might be related to the people he contacted, but not to the capabilities of the two chambers of commerce.
In short, obtaining this treasure from the Heavenly Star Tower, making up for his disadvantage in escape speed and turning it into an advantage, is a great benefit.
Option one is definitely the one to choose, as it can help him raise the Aurora Escape Technique to the top level of the fourth tier, and then he can use the power of the placement slot to comprehend the Aurora Technique.
It can even allow this supernatural ability to reach the fifth rank, and if the improvement from placement and deduction is taken into account, it can reach the sixth rank.
This was the advancement path he had planned when he chose this escape technique. After all, other supernatural abilities are not like innate supernatural abilities, which can automatically advance as cultivation improves.
To cultivate other supernatural abilities, cultivators need to constantly comprehend and perfect them, and refine the corresponding rare and precious materials to continuously improve.
Just like the Ice Soul Divine Light, back in the endless ice plains, it was able to absorb the extreme cold energy accumulated over countless years by means of techniques such as the Cold Absorption Technique and the Heavenly Frost Secret Method.
It can not only refine demonic energy and enhance the foundation of the Glazed Pagoda.
The Ice Dao Divine Power can also benefit from this, continuously enhancing the power of the fundamental cold energy. Seizing the creation of heaven and earth is the essence of the cultivation path.
Those heavenly tribulations are nothing less than the restrictions imposed by heaven and earth on those who seek to seize power. Once a cultivator dies, everything naturally returns to the world, maintaining the balance of the total amount.
Therefore, the tribulation lightning will become increasingly terrifying until the cultivator dies and his cultivation dissipates, at which point everything will end.
A moment later.
After much deliberation, Wang Yu finally chose the Rainbow Feather Stone and the Golden Relic, as he has a deep connection with Buddhism.
In particular, when breaking through to the second or third stage of body refinement, the treasures left behind by Buddhism were used. The ancient immortal dynasty was the most prosperous era for Buddhism.
Wang Yu suspected that it was a legacy left behind by a Buddhist master who came with the immortals from the lower realm to set up the ancient demon sealing site, although it had long been destroyed in history.
Traces of Buddhism can still be seen in many ruins and secret places.
It's not surprising that it exists in the Tianxing Tower.
"Golden relic..."
Wang Yu murmured to himself, looking at the relic that resembled a golden elixir in his hand without saying anything more. His eyes were slightly vacant, as if he was thinking about something.
Instead of rushing to the next level, after breaking through the hundredth level, the rest time in between increased significantly, reaching about twelve hours.
That's enough for him to study and explore.
Relics are a kind of "fruit of enlightenment" that only highly accomplished Buddhist monks are qualified to condense after their death. Legend has it that after a high-ranking monk is reincarnated, he will retrieve his own relics and obtain everything he accumulated in his previous life.
This divine skill, called the "True Scripture of Reincarnation and Salvation," has long been lost. Otherwise, if Buddhism had continued to accumulate its power generation after generation, the number of powerful individuals would have far exceeded expectations.
