Chapter 153 Martial Uncle, you're really unreliable!
The Soul Palace was crammed with shadow clones, working overtime to produce Demon-Eating Gu, but the current stock couldn't keep up with the number of monsters in the Demon-Locking Tower.
We've come all this way, we can't let it go to waste.
The Demon-Sealing Tower has ten floors. Apart from the top floor used to seal the Demon Sword, there are nine floors remaining. Chu Yang is currently sweeping away demons on the ninth floor.
There aren't many monsters on the ninth floor. Firstly, because some time ago, powerful demons rushed to the top floor in an attempt to escape the Demon Locking Tower. Everyone wanted to be the first to leave, but an internal conflict occurred here, and after a great battle, the number of monsters decreased sharply.
Secondly, because they failed to break through the seal, the great demons were driven back to the Demon Locking Tower by the Sword Saint. Disheartened, they took many demons with them and returned to the bottom level, continuing to tyrannize their territory.
The further you go in the Demon-Sealing Tower, the more monsters you'll encounter.
Before long, Chu Yang fought his way from the ninth floor to the seventh floor, even slicing passing ants in half. He was so bloodthirsty that monsters would run away from him.
If it weren't for the critical shortage of Demon-Eating Gu, he probably would have already stormed to the bottom level. Now he can only rest for a while, carefully record the internal structure of the Demon-Locking Tower, and send it back to the Soul Palace.
Qingwei and the others, who were outside watching the situation at the Demon Locking Tower, suddenly changed their expressions, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Why is there no demonic energy left on the upper levels of the Demon-Sealing Tower?"
"What's Chu Yang doing in there? We let him in to repair the magic array, but he's gone on a killing spree!"
"At this rate, how can his body sustain him to the bottom layer and repair the entire formation?"
"You little brat, even if you hate evil as much as you want, you have to consider the bigger picture!"
"We've planned everything, but we didn't foresee his temperament. Senior Brother Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
Qingwei pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer—"
The elders could only watch the Demon-Locking Tower with burning anxiety.
"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 expend too much 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 spiritual energy."
"Under normal circumstances, Junior Brother should try to avoid fighting on the upper levels 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 Shu Mountain 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, totaling 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 alone 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 only two floors left 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 inside the tower. How can they face those ordinary people who died unjustly?"
"That's right. It's a pity I didn't have the chance to enter the tower with Junior Nephew Chu Yang; it's truly regrettable!"
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 timidly stood 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 occupied by the Heavenly Demon Emperor. This demon is extraordinary, far surpassing any other monster in the tower!"
The figure of the Drunken Sword Immortal suddenly appeared beside everyone.
"Three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Demon Emperor led his demon horde to invade the human world. Even with the combined strength of thousands of disciples from Mount Shu, they were unable to resist. The current head of Mount Shu used an ancient method to summon the gods, bewitching the demons and luring them into the Demon-Locking Tower. He then ordered his disciples to form the Five Elements Grand Array 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 should 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 this opportunity to break out of the tower. In this 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. However, Wei Jing himself died from exhaustion, and the Demon-Suppressing Sword was lost inside 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 by mistake. 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-Slaying Sword was your sword in your past 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, "Senior, do you 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 floor has also completely vanished!
Thump~ thump~ thump~
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 age—"
"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 Drunken 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 explode due to excessive burden."
"I made a mistake. I should have realized earlier that the Demon-Eating Gu would have an upper limit on the amount of demon 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 I will definitely have a heart attack if I waste it again."
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 on the amount of demonic power it can consume. 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 problems of the five elemental powers and energy, we can make it very soon."
The immortal 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 our Five Elemental Power."
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-Sealing Tower, I should be able to meet the requirements for accelerated recovery."
Magic Chu Yang smiled knowingly and said, "In most cases, we won't need to take action; someone will solve this problem for us."
Upon hearing this, a figure flashed through the mind of the immortal Chu Yang, and he also laughed.
After chatting for a while, the immortal Chu Yang left the Demon-Suppressing Sword in the Soul Palace and returned to the world.
After returning, Chu Yang glanced at the blood-soaked ground and strode towards the last floor.
at the same time.
The Sword Immortal is vividly describing just how powerful the demons at the bottom of the Demon Tower are!
The demon suppressed at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower was the Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciple who had fallen into demonic possession, named Jiang Ming.
"Decades ago, there was a genius disciple of the Sword Sect named Jiang Ming, who was the adopted son of the sect leader of that generation, Jiang Juezhi."
"Jiang Ming has been cultivating under the guidance of the sect leader Jiang Juezhi since childhood. He is adept at Taoist magic and swordsmanship. There are no bottlenecks or constraints in his cultivation. In just over ten years, he has become a powerful figure who can overpower the younger generation."
"In those years, our Sword Sect always used the name of the Shu Mountain Sect to the outside world, not the Immortal Sword Sect."
"It was after that disaster that the Sword Sect fell into decline and has not won a single sword energy battle since."
At this point, the Sword Immortal sighed.
"The root of the disaster was that Jiang Ming fell in love with a fox demon when he went down the mountain to cultivate in the world."
"The love between a human and a demon is taboo, especially since Jiang Ming is a disciple of Mount Shu. After the affair was exposed, the sect leader Jiang Juezhi dispatched a large number of disciples to hunt down the fox demon and imprison her in the Demon Locking Tower."
"Upon hearing the news, Jiang Ming rushed over and saw the dying fox demon in front of the Demon Locking Tower. Torn between his master's nurturing grace and the affection of his fellow disciples, and the love of his life, Jiang Ming fell into a demonic trance and ultimately succumbed to demonic possession."
"He was sealed into the Demon Locking Tower at the same time as the Evil Sword Immortal. However, compared to the Evil Sword Immortal, Jiang Ming is much stronger. He was originally the most talented seed of cultivation who fell into the demonic path. When the Evil Sword Immortal was born, he was also tainted by the aura of the extraterrestrial demons."
"It's a stroke of luck that only one Evil Sword Immortal escaped after the Demon-Sealing Tower's seal was broken this time."
"If it were Jiang Ming who came out, then Mount Shu would have been completely destroyed long ago."
After hearing the whole story from the Sword Immortal, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. If Jiang Ming was really that powerful, how should Chu Yang deal with him?
