Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Before the Tower of Trials, everyone was waiting for those inside to emerge.

It had been two months since the trial began, and according to the duration of previous trials, this one had already lasted a very long time.

Everyone's heart was filled with excitement.

After the seventh floor of the tower lit up, the eighth floor also lit up, and just a few days ago, the ninth floor actually lit up as well.

Someone had cleared all the trials in the Tower of Trials, reaching the highest level!

You must know that in the past, no one had even been able to reach the seventh floor, but this time, a formidable person had reached the top of the Trial Tower!

Who exactly was it, which sect did they belong to among the three major sects?

Was it the Rising Sun Sect, the Raging Flame Gate, or the Purple Dawn Grotto?

The powerhouses of the three sects, needless to say, were all smiling so wide that their mouths couldn't close, their faces full of triumphant joy.

Although it hadn't been confirmed yet which sect's person had reached the ninth floor.

But even if calculated by average probability, each of their respective sects had a thirty-something percent chance.

Moreover, they were all very confident, all feeling that it should be someone from their own sect!

Two months had already passed, and it seemed that the people in the trial should be coming out one after another. The light of the ninth floor had already been extinguished, indicating that the person who reached the ninth floor had already left.

Just as everyone was full of anticipation, the teleportation formation of the Tower of Trials suddenly lit up.

This was a sign that someone was coming out from inside.

In an instant, countless eyes here lit up.

The powerhouses of the three sects even stood up abruptly.

Those elders with profound backgrounds couldn't calm down, not only did their expressions become excited, their faces full of anticipation, and their eyes burning, but even the hands hanging at their waists were trembling with excitement.

Each of their faces wore an intense look of anticipation.

At this moment, a beam of light soared into the sky from within the formation.

A figure appeared within, but the beam of light was too intense, and no one could clearly see who that person was.

"Hahaha, it must be the outstanding talent from my sect who reached the ninth floor coming out!"

A powerhouse from the Rising Sun Sect stroked his beard and said excitedly.

"Bullshit! Don't you Rising Sun Sect dream, it must be the outstanding talent from my Raging Flame Gate!"

An elder with a profound background from the Raging Flame Gate mocked, saying very confidently.

"Humph, what are you two sects arguing about? It won't be someone from either of your sects, he must be the outstanding talent from my sect who reached the ninth floor!"

An elder with a profound background from the Purple Dawn Grotto laughed loudly.

However, his laughter stopped abruptly as the beam of light from the teleportation formation faded.

At this moment, the originally boiling scene instantly fell silent, people widened their eyes, their eyeballs almost falling to the ground, looking at the youth in the formation in disbelief.

The elders with profound backgrounds from the three major sects had frozen smiles on their faces, followed by violent twitches of their facial muscles, their bodies trembling slightly.

How could it be him!

It was actually that Yue Wu Xie!

He actually didn't die, and walked out of the Tower of Trials alive, how was this possible?

The expressions of the powerhouses from the three sects were ashen, something they found unacceptable and unbelievable.

Their people went in carrying intermediate-grade Saint Weapons, how could they fail to kill a body cultivator in the Saint Realm? This simply defied logic and shouldn't have happened!

Could it be that those disciples didn't find the kid named Yue after entering, or that the kid named Yue had been hiding after entering, perfectly avoiding the search of their disciples?

"Everyone was just laughing, why did your expressions suddenly become so stiff, what's wrong?"

Jun Wu Xie walked out of the teleportation formation very freely, smiling and greeting the elders with profound backgrounds from the three sects, even waving his hand enthusiastically.

The smile on his face was quite bright, especially with the morning sun shining on his face, making him look youthful, warm, and infectious.

"Yue Wu Xie, don't get carried away!"

The elders with profound backgrounds from the three sects felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a handful of dead flies at this moment.

That damned kid, who should have been buried in the Tower of Trials, not only didn't die, but came out and publicly provoked and ridiculed them, how outrageous!

"What are you talking about?" Jun Wu Xie looked at the elders with profound backgrounds from the three sects in astonishment, and said, "I disregarded past grievances and smiled and greeted everyone as soon as I came out, so enthusiastic and kind. I never thought that the response I would receive would be your stern looks. You are all elders with profound backgrounds from your respective sects, big figures, how could you be so lacking in demeanor and cultivation, it really makes me feel shocked and unbelievable!"

The powerhouses of the three sects were almost driven mad by him!

This hateful kid actually said that they lacked demeanor and cultivation?

He actually dared to claim to be enthusiastic and kind?

He was clearly pretending to be enthusiastic to ridicule and satirize them, but insisted on using commendatory words to promote himself!

"Kid, keep pretending, no matter how eloquent you are, what can you do? It's just a quick wit!"

An elder with a profound background from the Rising Sun Sect sneered repeatedly.

At this time, an elder with a profound background from the Raging Flame Gate sarcastically ridiculed, "Don't think that you hid in the Tower of Trials for two months, and finally walked out alive, and then you can be arrogant in front of us! Do you know that our outstanding talent has already reached the ninth floor of the Tower of Trials, achieving unprecedented achievements!"

"Hahahaha!" An elder with a profound background from the Purple Dawn Grotto took over the topic with a smile, "Kid named Yue, do you know what is the first in history? For such a long time, no one could reach the seventh floor, but this time, our outstanding talent has reached the top of the Tower of Trials! You, who have been hiding for two months, dare to be proud here, who gave you the courage?"

An elder with a profound background from the Rising Sun Sect smiled triumphantly, "Our outstanding talent can pass all the trials and reach the top, obtaining unimaginable opportunities in the Tower of Trials. Such a peerless talent will surely be bright and dazzling, while you, a rat who only knows how to hide, seem extremely ridiculous in comparison!"

"Oh, is that so." Jun Wu Xie said with a smile, "Unprecedented achievements, peerless talent, bright and dazzling, isn't this praise a bit too much?"

"Too much? Hahahahaha!" The elders with profound backgrounds from the three sects laughed loudly, "Such words of praise are far from worthy of that outstanding talent of ours who has reached the summit of the Tower of Trials. People like you are only worthy of jealousy, humph!"

"I very much agree with the first half of your sentence." The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth curled up slightly, and a slightly different smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Then, may I ask where your people are?"

"What's the panic, our people will soon come out of the Tower of Trials!"

The powerhouses of the three sects sneered repeatedly. According to the current situation, the disciples of the trial should be appearing soon.

"Is that so?"

Jun Wu Xie turned around and looked at the teleportation formation of the tower gate. With a slight movement of his mind, all the rune lights on the teleportation formation quickly dimmed, and in a moment, it became silent.

"What... what's going on?"

Now, the powerhouses of the three sects panicked. How could the teleportation gate of the Tower of Trials suddenly become silent? This meant that the Tower of Trials was closed!

But their people hadn't come out yet, how could the Tower of Trials be closed?

"Elder Yu, what's going on? Take a look quickly, is there something wrong with the Tower of Trials?"

The faces of the powerhouses of the three sects were ashen, and their hearts were sinking continuously, with a bad feeling.

Elder Yu was also very shocked. Hearing the words of the elders with profound backgrounds from the three sects, he immediately came back to his senses and said, "How could there be a problem with the Tower of Trials? This tower is of very high grade. Our Great Qian Royal Academy has obtained it for tens of thousands of years, but has never been able to truly obtain its recognition. No one can destroy it, so there is no problem!"

"But our people are still in the Tower of Trials and haven't come out, but it's closed!"

The faces of the powerhouses of the three sects were as black as charcoal, and their voices were trembling.

"Wake up, haven't you seen the reality by now?" Elder Yu pointed to the Tower of Trials and said, "The Tower of Trials is closed, there can only be one reason, that is, all the living trial participants inside have already come out!"

"No! Impossible, our people are still inside!"

An elder with a profound background from the Raging Flame Gate almost roared.

"Hahahaha! Elder Yu, you're talking nonsense. The outstanding talent of ours who reached the top of the Tower of Trials hasn't appeared yet, but you said that everyone has come out. The only one who appeared is that Yue kid!"

The powerhouse from the Rising Sun Sect found it difficult to accept this fact and was unwilling to believe it at all.

"This seat doesn't believe it, this is simply impossible. The outstanding talent of ours who reached the top is still in the tower! Elder Yu, please reopen the Tower of Trials quickly, otherwise our people will be trapped inside!"

The powerhouse from the Purple Dawn Grotto was emotionally agitated.

However, Elder Yu didn't respond to them anymore, but looked at Jun Wu Xie.

Now that things had reached this point, it was basically clear.

Where were there still people in the Tower of Trials?

The disciples of the three sects were probably killed by this body cultivator long ago.

The one who reached the ninth floor of the Tower of Trials was none other than Yue Wu Xie who cultivated the flesh body!

The shock in Elder Yu's heart was already indescribable.

Since ancient times, no one had ever reached the seventh floor, but Yue Wu Xie actually reached the top floor!

This tower had been in the hands of their academy for ten thousand years. Over the past ten thousand years, many people in their academy had tried repeatedly, but no one could reach the seventh floor.

He found it hard to imagine how this Yue Wu Xie did it.

What kind of opportunities did Yue Wu Xie get on the top three floors?

"No, I have to invite him to the academy and learn from him what exactly is above the seventh floor. Anyway, the Emperor also wants to see him and win him over to lay down a new hope for the future!"

Elder Yu thought to himself, and couldn't help but look at Princess Anning's phoenix carriage. He knew that Princess Anning was probably also eyeing this Yue Wu Xie, and he couldn't let Yue Wu Xie be won over by Princess Anning.

"Elder Yu!"

The elders with profound backgrounds from the three sects shouted again.

Elder Yu shook his head lightly and ignored them.

At this time, in the woods, countless eyes were looking at the powerhouses of the three sects, many of them with sympathy.

They remembered very well the confident appearances of the powerhouses from the three sects these past days. Just now, they even thought that the person who ascended to the ninth level of the Trial Tower was one of their own, and they praised them wildly.

In the end, it was Qingyun's Yue Wu Xie who reached the top of the tower. It truly seemed like a joke, and at the same time, like a tragedy.

“Everyone, remember what I said before entering the tower? Extreme joy begets sorrow. This phrase is truly fitting at this moment.”

Jun Wu Xie smiled brilliantly, standing in the sunlight in front of the tower, his white teeth gleaming, his thick hair gently fluttering in the wind.

“Bullshit! There must be something wrong with the Trial Tower! Our people are still inside!”

The powerhouses of the three sects couldn't accept it and were unwilling to accept this cruel reality.

“You guys are quite good at self-comfort.”

As Jun Wu Xie spoke, he stretched out his palm. Everyone was shocked to see the Trial Tower glow, rapidly shrink, and fly into his hand, floating gently in his palm.

“He... he actually subdued the Trial Tower, Heavens!”

“This... how is this possible? No one has ever been able to subdue this Trial Tower. It's impossible for it to acknowledge a master!”

“What am I seeing? This is too crazy…”

…

In the forest, people exclaimed in shock, unable to believe the scene before them, rubbing their eyes hard, thinking they were seeing things.

“You… you you you… Ah, cough!”

The last bit of fantasy in the hearts of the three sects' powerhouses was shattered. In a fit of anger, they spat out a mouthful of blood, staining their beards red and splattering onto their chests. Their bodies swayed, almost falling over.

“He… he actually gained the approval of the Trial Tower and became the true master of the Trial Tower!”

Elder Yu's eyeballs almost fell to the ground. What kind of monster was this? How did he do it?

This kind of opportunity was too good, right?

The Trial Tower acknowledging a cultivator in the Saint Realm as its master sounded like a joke, but it actually happened before their eyes.

“This child's luck is prosperous. This time, entering the tower for the trial, his luck defied the heavens, and the Trial Tower took a liking to him! It is estimated that this is why he was able to ascend the last few floors, otherwise, it would have been difficult to do so…”

Elder Yu thought to himself, but he also knew that even if it was based on luck, it was still extraordinary.

In a cultivator's growth process, luck is indispensable, and the luckier a person is, the more they will be favored by the Heavenly Dao and be in harmony with all things. Although they cannot be compared to the Child of Destiny, they are far from ordinary cultivators.

“This is truly shocking to this princess. This Yue Wu Xie has outstanding talent and extremely strong luck. Such a person may truly cultivate to the peak of the Great Saint in the future. It seems that this princess must win him over no matter what and make him join my Ning Royal Mansion, and must not let him rely on the Emperor…”

Anning Princess's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light.

This body cultivator from Qingyun True Martial Peak has given her too many surprises these days.

“Yue, you little bastard, you killed the trial disciples of our three sects. We three sects will settle this blood feud with you! You better pray that your life can last longer!”

The profound powerhouses of the three sects recovered from their grief and anger, gnashing their teeth, their eyes cold, staring at him like venomous snakes.

“Can't afford to lose?” True Person Qingmu mocked, “If your three sects can't afford to lose, then don't play. For so many years, you three sects have only been allowed to kill people from my Qingyun, and we Qingyun are not allowed to kill your people? Truly shameless to the extreme!”

“Qingmu! Your life won't be too long either. We'll see!”

Each of the three sects' powerhouses exuded a violent aura.

“Princess Anning, we will return to our sects!”

They bid farewell to Princess Anning, gave Yue Wu Xie and Qingmu and others a cold stare, and then left in disgrace.

“Wu Xie, I knew they couldn't kill you!”

True Person Qingmu held his shoulders with both hands, his eyes were extremely fiery, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

The other two profound powerhouses were also the same.

“Senior Brother Yue, you are too strong. You even took the Trial Tower. This time, our Qingyun can finally hold our heads high!”

Qian Hao and Chen Li were full of reverence, completely regarding him as an idol and role model, their hearts filled with admiration and awe.

“Cough!”

A soft cough sounded in the sky above this area, it was the voice from the Elder.

He announced loudly: “This trial has come to a successful conclusion, everyone should disperse.”

Those who were watching the excitement discussed fiercely, looking at Jun Wu Xie from time to time, slowly dispersing, many people turning their heads every few steps, staring at Jun Wu Xie again and again.

“Yue…”

“Young Master Yue.”

Elder Yu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Princess Anning's pleasant voice.

The muscles on his face twitched violently a few times.

“Princess Anning, is there anything you need?”

Jun Wu Xie turned to look at the phoenix carriage.

“Young Master Yue is outstandingly talented, and his performance in this trial is truly remarkable. This princess has broadened her horizons and couldn't help but feel joy. I would like to invite Young Master Yue to my temporary residence in this city for a chat.”

Anning's voice was very pleasant, her tone gentle and full of goodwill.

“Princess Anning, I believe that there doesn't seem to be any topic for discussion between me and the princess, so I appreciate the princess's intentions, but as for going to the princess's residence, it's not necessary.”

“Bold!” A somewhat shrill voice rang out beside the phoenix carriage, with a hint of coldness. It was the rouge-covered, powder-faced Bloodhand Human Butcher Fan Xichong. His slender eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of threat, and he said in a deep voice: “The princess invites you, that is a blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes, how dare you refuse! Why don't you quickly apologize to the princess and beg for forgiveness?”

The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the Bloodhand Human Butcher Fan Xichong with a calm gaze, and said: “That rouge-covered, powder-faced guy, are you talking to me?”

As soon as these words came out, the slender corners of the Bloodhand Human Butcher Fan Xichong's eyes twitched violently, and a murderous intent burst out.

At the same time, Qingmu and others were shocked, and so was Elder Yu of the Royal Academy.

They didn't expect Jun Wu Xie to say that to Fan Xichong in person.

That was the Bloodhand Human Butcher, a top-tier expert of the Ning Royal Mansion, a powerhouse in the Great Saint Realm.

“It seems that this old one has to teach you a good lesson today, to teach you what is superiority and inferiority!”

Fan Xichong's eyes were filled with cold killing intent, and he was about to make a move.

“Presumptuous!” A cold reprimand came from inside the phoenix carriage, “Retreat, do not be rude to Young Master Yue!”

“Yes, Princess.”

The killing intent in Fan Xichong's eyes receded, and he honestly took two steps back, bowing slightly, lowering his eyes, and no longer speaking.

“Young Master Yue feels that there is no topic for discussion between us, but this princess doesn't think that's appropriate.” Princess Anning smiled lightly and said, “I wonder, Young Master Yue, are you interested in the future of Qingyun?”

Elder Yu listened anxiously from the side, but was unable to interrupt.

Princess Anning actually brought up the fate of Qingyun, now Yue Wu Xie is probably unable to refuse.

“I am indeed interested in this topic. Since that's the case, then I will accept it without ceremony.”

Jun Wu Xie agreed very simply. The sect needed time. Since Princess Anning wanted to win him over, why not use a counter-strategy to exchange it for growth time and space?

The previous refusal was deliberate.

After all, True Martial Peak had been harmed by the Ning Royal Mansion for hundreds of years. Normally, people from True Martial Peak should be very repulsed by the Ning Royal Mansion, so how could they agree directly?

“Wu Xie!”

True Person Qingmu frowned, worried about his safety.

“Grandmaster Qingmu, it's okay.”

Qingmu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately did not make a sound.

“Young Master Yue, after noon, this princess will be waiting for you in the mansion.”

After Princess Anning finished speaking, the four maids carried the phoenix carriage away, Fan Xichong followed, and soon disappeared from sight.

“Yue Wu Xie, you shouldn't have agreed to her. Princess Anning is not ordinary. If you go deep into her mansion, it might be very dangerous. The eunuch Fan Xichong beside Princess Anning is a very ruthless and cruel person.”

Elder Yu said this, he really didn't want to see this Yue Wu Xie go to Princess Anning's mansion.

If he was really won over by the Ning Royal Mansion, it would be a huge loss for the Emperor.

Because this Yue Wu Xie involved too much.
