"Brother Xu, the elders look very worried?" Li Xiaoyao asked anxiously. "Did something happen to Brother Chu inside?"
Xu Changqing said in a deep voice, "The demonic energy on the top two floors of the Demon Locking Tower has decreased significantly. It's probably because my junior brother is clearing out the monsters there."
Tang Xuejian asked curiously, "Isn't the purpose of entering the Demon-Sealing Tower to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits?"
Xu Changqing explained, "Most of the powerful monsters are gathered on the lower levels. If you consume too much of your true energy up there, the battle will become increasingly difficult as you go down. More importantly, the Demon Locking Tower is filled with demon-transforming water and seals, making it difficult to replenish your spiritual energy."
“Under normal circumstances, Junior Brother should try to avoid fighting on the upper level and go to the next level immediately after repairing the magic array.”
"Junior Brother is naturally righteous and hates evil, so he probably didn't even think of this..."
After hearing Xu Changqing's explanation, the others finally understood why the elders of Shushan were so anxious. According to them, if they kept killing like this, Chu Yang would never be able to reach the bottom.
Tang Xuejian exclaimed in shock, "Doesn't that mean Master Chu is doomed...?"
Jing Tian quickly covered her mouth, thinking to himself, "What time is it for my little aunt? She's still talking nonsense!"
"Brother Xu, let's go inside!"
Li Xiaoyao pulled Xu Changqing along, preparing to fly to the top of the tower on their swords.
Xu Changqing glanced back at Sect Leader Qingwei and Elder Canggu, shook his head, and said, "Since the Sect Leader hasn't spoken, it means things haven't reached the most critical moment yet. Let's wait a little longer..."
Li Xiaoyao roared, "What if it's too late?"
As the two continued arguing, the demonic energy of the Demon-Sealing Tower began to weaken again, which everyone knew was a signal for Chu Yang to continue forward.
"Then let's wait a little longer..."
Li Xiaoyao gradually calmed down.
Inside the Demon-Sealing Tower, Chu Yang wasn't as disheveled as everyone had imagined; on the contrary, he was extremely happy.
Although so far only minor demons with a cultivation level of one or two hundred years have been killed, the sheer number of them is overwhelming, amounting to as many as five or six Crimson Demon Kings.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Chu Yang's proficiency in sword control is increasing rapidly, and he has also comprehended the Myriad Swords Technique.
Once the new Devouring Gu were replenished, he continued to kill his way down.
Anyway, there's no need to hide your strength in the Demon-Sealing Tower. Just go all out and use whatever you have. A single Demon-Subduing Shrine is enough to break through the upper levels.
Some demons that had no physical form and were only souls also entered the belly of Fengdu.
Since returning from the Ghost Realm, the Netherworld aura surrounding [Fengdu] has become increasingly intense. Chu Yang has a premonition that it is about to reach the level of Bankai.
When Chu Yang entered the third floor from the fourth floor, he encountered the first great demon he had encountered in the tower, whose strength was comparable to that of the Crimson Ghost King.
then……
Chu Yang used the Demon-Subduing Shrine to instantly defeat it.
The second one...
The third one...
When Chu Yang came to his senses, he found that the third level was full of great demons of the thousand-year level. Compared with the previous levels, it would undoubtedly take more effort, but fortunately there were no particularly outstanding beings among them.
It took Chu Yang half a day to finish cleaning this layer, and the cultivation he absorbed was over ten thousand years' worth.
Using his millennia of cultivation, Chu Yang pushed all martial arts to their limits, including using the Ten Strong Martial Arts to reverse-engineer the Xuanwu True Skill.
The Origin Martial True Form has once again received an epic upgrade.
at this time.
An extreme silence fell outside the Demon-Sealing Tower. No one had imagined that Chu Yang could single-handedly wipe out almost all the monsters inside.
This is something that has never happened in the tens of millions of years that the Demon-Sealing Tower has stood in Mount Shu.
Before this, the Demon-Sealing Tower was a death trap, a death trap for demons and also a death trap for the disciples of Mount Shu.
No one can walk out of the Demon-Sealing Tower alive.
That sentence is like a curse!
"Good lad! Now there are only two more floors to go!"
"This is an unprecedented feat since the founding of the Shu Mountain Sect!"
"Hahaha! How wonderful! How wonderful! These damned monsters should be killed, given a chance to repent in the tower. How can they face those ordinary people who died unjustly?"
"That's right. It's just a pity that I didn't have the chance to enter the tower with Junior Nephew Chu Yang. It's a great regret!"
The elders burst into hearty laughter. Although the Demon Locking Tower could torment monsters for hundreds or thousands of years, causing them to die slowly, it was still more satisfying for the sword immortals of Mount Shu to kill these monsters on the spot!
Over the years, they had been holding their breath because of the sect's rules, but now that they saw Chu Yang almost slaughter all the demons inside, they felt extremely happy.
Li Xiaoyao and the others clapped and cheered from the sidelines!
Tang Xuejian asked with a smile, "Now there are only two levels left, what kind of monsters are there?"
The elders' laughter gradually subsided, and solemn expressions returned to their faces.
Seeing this, Tang Xue stood timidly behind Jing Tian, "What did I say wrong again?"
Jing Tian shook his head and smiled wryly; the eldest daughter of the Tang family's conversational skills were simply unbelievable.
"The second level is the Heavenly Demon Emperor. This demon is extraordinary and cannot be compared to any of the other demons in the tower!"
The figure of the Drunken Sword Immortal suddenly appeared beside everyone.
"Three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Demon Emperor led his demons to invade the human world. Even with the combined strength of thousands of disciples from Mount Shu, they could not resist. The current head of Mount Shu used the ancient method of 'summoning the gods' to bewitch the demons and lead them into the Demon Locking Tower. He then ordered his disciples to form the Five Elements Formation and activate the Demon-Transforming Water within the tower to refine these demons."
"After forty-nine days, most of the demons were subdued, but the Heavenly Demon Emperor was unaffected because of his powerful demonic energy. You must know that this Demon Transformation Water was a treasure bestowed by the God Realm. At the time, it seemed absolutely terrifying."
"Not only that, the Heavenly Demon Emperor also planned to use the power to break out of the tower. In the moment of crisis, the Shu Mountain disciple 'Wei Jing' entered the tower with the Demon-Suppressing Sword and fought the Heavenly Demon Emperor for three days, severely injuring him. He himself died from exhaustion. From then on, the Demon-Suppressing Sword was lost in the Demon-Locking Tower."
The Sword Immortal took a big gulp of wine, soaking his collar, and sighed, "The Demon Lord Chonglou destroyed the Demon Locking Tower for the Demon Suppressing Sword, but he accidentally took it. He probably didn't expect that the Demon Suppressing Sword wasn't at the top of the tower, but at the bottom."
Tang Xuejian poked Jing Tian's lower back with her finger and whispered, "That Demon-Suppressing Sword was your sword in your previous life, wasn't it?"
Jing Tian nodded and sighed, "That's why we're in this predicament today. That red-haired monster is infuriating."
Li Xiaoyao said in a deep voice, "Does Senior mean that Brother Chu might not be able to defeat the Heavenly Demon Emperor?"
The Sword Immortal explained, "The Heavenly Demon Emperor is indeed extraordinary. Even the Demon Transformation Water bestowed by the God Realm cannot harm him. To defeat him, brute force alone is not enough. We must find the Demon-Suppressing Sword to have a chance."
"I just don't know if the Heavenly Demon Emperor will give Junior Nephew Chu Yang this opportunity..."
The voice just fell.
The demonic aura on the second level has also vanished!
Dong~dong~dong~
The Sword Immortal was struck dumb, and the gourd in his hand fell to the ground, rolling all the way to Li Xiaoyao's feet.
Li Xiaoyao picked up the wine gourd and returned it to the Drunken Sword Immortal.
He looked at the other man as if he were a con artist, and even patted him on the shoulder with a pitying expression, saying, "Senior, every time I see you, you seem so unreliable. You're not getting any younger, you mustn't be so disrespectful to your elders..."
"The thought of having to call you 'Uncle-Master' after joining the sect makes me very worried."
The Sword Immortal's blood rushed to his head, his handsome face instantly turning a purplish-red, and a thousand curses stuck in his throat.
Jing Tian and the others couldn't help but laugh, and the oppressive atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.
What they didn't see was that Qingwei and the others had similar expressions to the Sword Immortal, equally astonished.
Compared to the joyful atmosphere outside the tower, it was now Chu Yang's turn to be unhappy.
He looked at the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, which had turned into blood, with a mournful face. The Demon-Eating Gu had also vanished along with it.
Chu Yang never expected that the Demon-Eating Gu would be burst apart by the Heavenly Demon Emperor's cultivation!
"The Heavenly Demon Emperor has at least ten thousand years of cultivation..."
"For the Demon-Eating Gu, devouring ten thousand years of cultivation seems to have exceeded its limit; it will only explode when the burden is too great."
"I made a mistake. I should have realized earlier that the Demon-Eating Gu would have an upper limit on the amount of demonic power it could consume."
"It seems that the plan to build a fully automated demon refining tower must be listed as an urgent project, otherwise if I waste it again, I will definitely have a heart attack."
Before entering the final level, Chu Yang, after much agonizing reflection, took the Demon-Suppressing Sword and entered the Soul Palace.
Inside the Soul Palace, Magic Chu Yang had already taken the initiative to stop the production of the Demon-Eating Gu. He and Pirate Chu Yang were studying the structure and formation of the Demon-Locking Tower.
Even so, they still stored hundreds of demon-eating Gu.
"The Demon-Eating Gu has an upper limit and threshold for consuming demonic power. The one that just devoured the Heavenly Demon Emperor has already exploded, losing ten thousand years of cultivation for nothing!"
Upon hearing Xianxia Chu Yang's words, both Magic Chu Yang and Pirate Chu Yang felt as if their hearts had stopped.
"Holy crap! We've lost so much money!"
Pirate Chu Yang was on the verge of tears.
"Consider it tuition. We overlooked the limits of biological existence. If we use a magic weapon, this problem should be solved."
Magic Chu Yang quickly composed himself and said calmly, "The forging of the Demon Locking Tower is not difficult, and we don't need to build such a large tower. As long as we solve the problem of the five elemental powers and energy, we can manufacture it very soon."
Xianxia Chu Yang said, "Once we've repaired the Demon Locking Tower and restored the Holy Spirit Pearl, we can use the Five Elemental Pearls to replenish the power of the Five Elements."
Pirate Chu Yang worriedly said, "The spiritual power of the Five Elemental Pearls isn't inexhaustible. If we keep doing this, won't we ruin them?"
The immortal Chu Yang smiled and said, "The power of the five elements in the Five Elemental Pearls does not come from nowhere. It can be slowly restored by absorbing the five elements in the world. Of course, external forces can also be used to accelerate this process."
"With the ten thousand years of cultivation I gained in the Demon Locking Tower, I should be able to meet the requirements for accelerated recovery."
