Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 89: The Tenth Floor of the Trial Tower! (Third update, updates completed)

The immortal god Cliff, who was in the lead, simply waved his hand, and a curtain of light appeared in the hall of the Trial Tower.

Unlike before, what appeared in the light curtain this time was no longer a desert, but an endless Gobi Desert.

Wang Xiu, dressed in black, sat cross-legged on the Gobi Desert, with the Taohai sword placed on his legs, closing his eyes and meditating to restore his energy.

However, the gate-guarding monster that was supposed to appear was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was a little curious.

Luo Feng and the others were fine. Although they felt a little confused, they had never actually entered the Trial Tower to fight, so they didn't know the real situation inside.

But these world masters following the immortal god Chris have all passed the trial tower.

But when they are breaking into the Trial Tower, except for the first time they enter, there will be a ten-minute adaptation time. After they enter, the guarding monster will come out immediately.

Wang Xiu in the picture has been sitting cross-legged for three minutes, but there is no trace of the guarding monster in the picture.

"Why... why hasn't the guarding monster appeared yet?" One of the realm masters asked in a voice transmission, "Could it be that something went wrong in the Trial Tower?"

"Impossible." Another Realm Lord shook his head and denied, "Although the Trial Tower belongs to our Qianwu Dojo, it is actually run by the Virtual Universe Company."

"After all these years, have you ever seen anything go wrong in the virtual universe?"

"That's true..." The world master who had questioned it earlier nodded, "But this is too abnormal."

"You and I have both been through this trial tower more than once. Have you ever seen such a strange scene?"

"That's not the case." Another realm master was also a little puzzled. "Perhaps it's because Wang Xiu directly reached the tenth level on his first attempt, so some special rules were triggered."

When the immortal god Chris, who was in the lead, saw this scene, he felt calm in his heart.

As an immortal, his authority is much higher than these world masters, so he naturally knows much more than them.

Under normal circumstances, after the trial-taker enters the trial tower, the gatekeeper monster will appear soon, leaving no chance for the trial-taker to delay.

But Wang Xiu was different. The first time he entered the Trial Tower, he went straight from the first floor to the tenth floor.

For this kind of existence, every time after entering the next level, the guarding monster will not appear directly, but will give the trial-taker half an hour of rest and preparation time.

After all, the original intention of the Trial Tower is to test the true level of the trial-taker's understanding of the laws, rather than defeating the trial-taker through a round-robin battle.

After all, performing secret techniques, especially some powerful ones, is extremely mentally exhausting.

Although the virtual universe can directly restore physical injuries and exhaustion, it cannot directly restore the mental exhaustion of the trial-taker.

If the trial-taker is not given a certain amount of time to recover, then for someone like Wang Xiu who directly broke through to the tenth floor in one breath, the final test results may not be so standard.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, half an hour went by in a flash.

Luo Feng and his two companions, one is at the third level of his state of mind, one is at the second level of his state of mind, and the last one, because he possessed the body of a golden-horned beast and was influenced by the beast's bloodline, has an extremely cold temperament in his bones.

As for the others, they are either world masters or immortals.

Although there is no such thing as mind cultivation in the universe, those who can cultivate to the level of realm master or even immortality have extremely firm wills.

In just half an hour, the hall was still peaceful.

Everyone was staring at the screen, waiting for Wang Xiu in the picture to stand up again.

Finally, Wang Xiu, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

In fact, up to now, Wang Xiu’s mental exhaustion has not been great.

Especially in the first six levels, Wang Xiu barely had to put in any effort and dealt with the opponent in front of him almost solely with the power of his domain.

By the seventh level, the strength and number of the guarding monsters have greatly increased.

But for Wang Xiu, who had already successfully stepped into the threshold of the Law of the Origin of Gold, it didn't take much effort.

It was not until the ninth level that Wang Xiu was forced to perform the first move of "Golden Dragon".

"Originally, I wanted to save the first move of "Golden Dragon" for the opponent on the tenth floor of the Trial Tower, but I didn't expect that the ninth floor would force me to use it." Wang Xiu stood up and shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, Wang Xiu did not spend much energy on the ninth level. After a simple meditation, his lost energy quickly recovered.

"According to the information in this trial tower, every three floors of the trial tower is a threshold."

"Whether it is the fourth or seventh level, the strength of the monsters guarding the level has been greatly improved compared to the previous level." Wang Xiu said to himself.

"Although I don't know what's on the tenth floor, it's obviously an important level. The strength of the monsters guarding it will definitely be greatly improved. It's better to be careful."

boom!
Suddenly, the Gobi Desert in front of Wang Xiu collapsed, and then a huge black scorpion about three hundred meters long leaped up.

The black shell emitted a faint light, and a bloodthirsty and cold murderous intent stared at Wang Xiu.

“Rock-cracked poisonous scorpion.” Wang Xiu stared at the huge monster in front of him with icy eyes, “Is this my opponent in this level?”

"Only one monster?"

Wang Xiu looked solemn. You know, on the ninth floor, Wang Xiu was facing a full thousand Blood Axe Beasts.

The tenth floor, which is obviously more difficult than the ninth floor, has only one monster.

"Something must be wrong when it's out of the ordinary." Wang Xiu raised his sword, "It's better to be cautious."

The Rock-Splitting Scorpion is extremely intelligent and has extremely strong defenses, but its most deadly feature is the poisonous hook on its tail.

Once stabbed by the poison hook, someone of the same realm will surely die. Even if someone of a higher realm than it is stabbed by the poison hook, it will also be extremely painful.

If Wang Xiu encountered this rock-crack scorpion in real life, he would not have to worry because of his strong body.

But now he is in the trial tower in the virtual universe, and what Wang Xiu is using is just an ordinary ninth-level star-grade body, but he does not have the strong physical body like the one in the real world.

Once you are stung by the poisonous hook of this rock-crack scorpion, you will die!

However, the Rock-crack Scorpion is not without weak points, and its weak point is its eyes!

Once the eye is stabbed, the Rock Scorpion's strength will be weakened by at least 80%.

However, the Rock-Splitting Scorpion moves extremely fast, and the attack speed of its poison hook far exceeds its movement speed.

It is not easy to attack the eyes of this rock-crack scorpion.

The Rock-Splitting Venomous Scorpion is not a rare monster. It is recorded in the secret traditions of the warriors of the Meteorite Star lineage.

After quickly finding the information of the Rock-crack Poisonous Scorpion in his mind, Wang Xiu took a deep breath. A misty golden light quickly appeared around him, covering the Rock-crack Poisonous Scorpion, and then quickly turned into a golden light and rushed towards the Rock-crack Poisonous Scorpion.

Seeing this, the Rock-Cracking Poisonous Scorpion was also quickly surrounded by an earth-yellow light, and it collided with Wang Xiu's domain without showing any weakness, confronting him head-on.

Wow!
The knife flashed, and a golden dragon flew out from in front of Wang Xiu and rushed towards the rock-crack poisonous scorpion in front of him.

……

In the hall, watching this scene on the screen, many realm masters couldn't help but discuss secretly. "This move is quite interesting." One of the realm masters said with a smile, "Being able to perform this move, Wang Xiu's law perception has indeed crossed the threshold of the law of the origin of gold."

"Indeed, it seems that the tenth floor will not be a problem for Wang Xiu." Another realm master responded with a smile, "I just don't know which floor he can reach in the end."

The immortal god Chris, who had been staring at the light screen silently without saying a word, looked at the roaring golden dragon rushing towards the rock-crack scorpion in the picture, his eyes moving slightly.

"This should be the Golden Dragon secret, right?" Chris thought to himself, "Although the Golden Dragon secret is widely circulated, it is also circulated among the immortal level. I don't know who is behind this little guy.

In the entire Black Dragon Mountain star field, there are no more than two hands worth of people who are qualified to obtain this secret technique.

Luo Feng and the other two were watching the figures of Wang Xiu and the Rock-Splitting Poisonous Scorpion fighting each other on the light screen, fascinated.

Wang Xiu's realm was far beyond theirs, leaving them far behind.

If they hadn't met today, they wouldn't even know that such a huge gap had opened up between them and Wang Xiu without them realizing it.

The rock-cracked poisonous scorpion in the light curtain is not weak. In addition to the powerful talents brought by its own bloodline, this rock-cracked poisonous scorpion also masters the power of the origin law of earth.

In this vast desert, they are like fish in water.

However, Wang Xiu’s understanding of the laws was higher than its, and his swordsmanship was more powerful than its, so he suppressed the rock-crack poisonous scorpion with all his strength.

"This talent is really abnormal." Looking at Wang Xiu who had the upper hand in the picture, Babata, who had been sitting on Luo Feng's shoulder, couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

If Wang Xiu was not a genetic warrior rather than a spiritual master, Babata would probably have thought of changing his successor.

Thinking of this, Babata glanced at Luo Feng who was watching intently.

"Forget it, forget it. Luo Feng's talent is not bad. What's more, Luo Feng has taken over the body of the golden-horned beast." Babata comforted himself in his heart, "Maybe Wang Xiu's achievements in the future will not be as good as Luo Feng's."

Luo Feng, who was immersed in the light curtain, was completely unaware of this and had no idea that his identity as the immortal successor of Yunmo Star was almost at risk.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: catch up with Wang Xiu!

You know, Luo Feng has been a genius ever since he officially started practicing.

Later, he obtained the immortal inheritance of Yunmo Star and took over the body of the golden-horned beast. His journey was extremely smooth.

In Luo Feng's opinion, among the four brothers, he had the most opportunities.

In terms of talent, Luo Feng has never been inferior to anyone, especially after he took over the body of the golden-horned giant beast.

But for some reason, Wang Xiu has always been like a mountain standing in front of him.

When he was still a general, Wang Xiu was already a god of war.

Now that he has taken over the body of the golden-horned beast, logically speaking, with the golden-horned beast's abnormal talent, he should be able to catch up with Wang Xiu soon.

But now he hasn't even comprehended the domain, while the other party has already stepped into the level of laws.

And I have come so far on the road of understanding the laws.

This inevitably made Luo Feng feel a little unconvinced.

"Babata, notify me immediately once the ordered metal arrives!" Luo Feng suddenly transmitted a message to Babata on his shoulder.

"Hmm?" Babata raised his head and looked at Luo Feng. Was he stimulated?
But Babata didn't say anything. On the contrary, he was very happy to see Luo Feng's fighting spirit was aroused.

"No problem!" Babata's voice sounded in Luo Feng's heart.

……

Trial Tower, tenth floor.

Above the vast Gobi Desert, Wang Xiu's sword flashed like water, and the endless sword light suppressed the rock-cracked poisonous scorpion under him.

Even the Rock Scorpion's elusive poisonous hook was completely ineffective in the face of Wang Xiu's sword.

Every attack was perfectly blocked by Wang Xiu without exception.

Several deep wounds appeared on the extremely hard shell of the Rock-crack Poisonous Scorpion. Dark green blood flowed out along with the movements of the Rock-crack Poisonous Scorpion, falling to the ground and stirring up streams of green smoke.

"Tsk, it's really poisonous. Even the blood is so corrosive." Wang Xiu couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this.

He was even more afraid of the poisonous hook of the Rock Scorpion.

If even blood is so horribly corrosive, how potent must the toxin in the hook be?

With my current body, if I were to get hit by it, I would probably collapse and die immediately.

"It seems that I have to get rid of your poison hook first." Wang Xiu's mind moved, and the endless knife light suddenly changed direction, focusing on the thick limbs of the Rock-Splitting Poison Scorpion.

The speed of the Rock-Splitting Poison Scorpion was suppressed by Wang Xiu, and its so-called powerful defense was useless.

His understanding of the laws was not as good as Wang Xiu's, and his proud poison hook had no chance against Wang Xiu's continuous sword flash.

The “three axes” were all ineffective against Wang Xiu, and he could only passively take the beating. He was already at the end of his strength.

Now, under Wang Xiu's special care, one of the Rock-Splitting Venomous Scorpion's forelimbs that was used to block Wang Xiu's sword light could not bear it and broke directly.

Chris, the immortal god who saw this scene in the trial hall, couldn't help but silently said in his heart: "It's over."

Sure enough, soon after the first limb broke, all eight limbs of the Rock Scorpion were broken and it could not move.

He could only lie on the ground helplessly, staring at Wang Xiu in front of him, ready to use his poison hook to hit this human.

Once, as long as it stabs once, the Rock-Splitting Venomous Scorpion believes that this human will definitely not be able to resist.

However, Wang Xiu did not give the Rock-Splitting Poison Scorpion any chance.

A huge and dazzling golden dragon slashed out and rushed straight towards the vital point of the Rock-Splitting Poison Scorpion's eyes.

Just as the Rock-Splitting Poisonous Scorpion was controlling its only remaining tail to block the blade, Wang Xiu himself quickly came to the back of the Rock-Splitting Poisonous Scorpion and chopped directly on the tail of the Rock-Splitting Poisonous Scorpion with a knife.

Wow!
Part of the tail with the poisonous hook fell directly to the ground, and the golden dragon landed on the most vulnerable part of the Rock-crack Scorpion, the eye, without any hindrance.

boom!
After a loud roar, the body of the Rock-crack Scorpion lay straight on the ground, motionless.

"Congratulations, Wang Xiu, a student at Qianwu Dojo, for successfully passing the tenth floor of the Trial Tower. Please proceed to the eleventh floor."

The familiar voice echoed in Wang Xiu's ears again, and at the same time, a pillar of light reached the sky and descended in front of Wang Xiu again.

……

In the trial hall.

Looking at this scene on the screen, the immortal god Chris smiled and said, "I was right about you. It's worth my coming here in person."

"I just don't know which level you can reach in the end. Tsk, I'm kind of looking forward to it."

　Fortunately, I have fulfilled my promise and completed 10,000 chapters. I coded until 4 in the morning and finally finished what I promised. Although it is a bit late, I will not say more. I am going to sleep. I have been too tired these days. I feel my heart pounding when I sit down now. I feel like I am floating in the clouds. Good night, everyone.
