The stars trembled and unleashed a heavenly might straight down to the ground. Flames wrapped around the meteor and created a huge pit in the already broken ground.
"Boom!"
The huge pit with a diameter of three hundred meters was filled with raging flames and billowing black smoke. Everything was destroyed. Even the eight magma rivers underground were scattered and completely retreated.
A Heaven-Earth Tribulation rarely occurred. Out of ten thousand cultivators, perhaps not even one would encounter one.
This usually meant that a monster that the world didn't want to tolerate had appeared and would be obliterated by the heavens.
Only a pitiful number of cultivators could surpass this tribulation — only one in a thousand. However, once they did, their future achievements wouldn't be low. They would be tested by the tribulation to reach the ninth level of Heaven's Mandate.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Even more cultivators were alarmed. It had been a long time since a Heaven-Earth Tribulation had occurred. Just who was undergoing it?
"Did he die to the tribulation already?"
An old man with a head full of white frost flew above the huge pit. His eyes shot out two rays of light.
"Boom!"
A huge black hand reached out from the crater and grabbed the old man, dragging him down. His blood was sucked dry by a black shadow, and then his corpse was tossed up.
This old man was a Heaven's Mandate master, but he had turned into a cold corpse at this moment.
Feng Feiyun moved his body and appeared above the pit. He floated in the air with a huge saber in his hand. A white dragon shadow coiled around his body as flames burned in his eyes. Suddenly, he unleashed a slash.
The saber ray resembled a wild dragon!
The black palm that reached out from the pit was directly shattered by the saber ray.
With an imposing aura, Feng Feiyun turned into a white ray and dived down. While still in the air, he unleashed nine saber waves in a row — Dragon King's Descent. Each level was stronger than the previous.
"Isn't that the demon's son? When did he return to the pagoda?"
"I heard that it happened in the past few days. The geniuses of the younger generation are becoming increasingly terrifying. Even the cultivators of the older generation are feeling fearful."
"The evil spirit in this crater has actually overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and can kill the older generation cultivators like cutting vegetables. The son of the demon is indeed worthy of being the number one genius of the present age. He actually dared to go underground and fight against the evil spirit."
…
This was a great battle that shook the entire area. Countless white saber dragons pierced through the air while layers of black ancient formations blasted out, causing the entire area around the Spirit Treasure Pagoda to crack.
A miserable cry rang out.
A graceful black shadow flew out from the crater and soared into the sky. "Feng Feiyun, consider yourself lucky today. Wait until I consolidate my realm and cultivate my Life Artifact. I will definitely come back to meet you."
"What kind of monster is this? You want to leave after killing our pagoda's cultivators?"
Three members of the Law Enforcement Squad riding on the back of a silver bird blocked Ji Cangyue's way with their silver spears in their hands.
"Pu!
Puff!
Pfft!
The three members of the Law Enforcement Squad were crushed as their bodies exploded into a bloody mist.
Ji Cangyue was stabbed in the back by Feng Feiyun's saber and was invaded by the Dragon King's saber energy, so she was quite injured. At this moment, she didn't want to linger, so she turned into a black ray and soared into the sky.
Feng Feiyun chased after her from the crater, but Ji Cangyue was already far away. His eyes narrowed: "Such a terrifying power, able to devour the cultivation and blood of others and turn it into its own power.
This must be the evil spirit cultivation method from the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record. "
The record was divided into three volumes, and the Spirit Treasure Volume was in the hands of the Ji Clan.
Feng Feiyun also cultivated the Eight Arts Volume of the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record. He only had a superficial understanding of the Grand Change Art, yet he was able to cultivate the Heaven Punishing Hammer, the Heaven Battle Spirit Altar, and the Swift Samsara — three supreme techniques.
Although this was only possible because of Feng Feiyun's forty spiritual senses, one could still see the frightening power of the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record.
Devouring the power and blood of others — this cultivation method was akin to plundering. If this news were to spread, then the entire cultivation world would besiege her.
"Luckily, she had just passed the Earth Tribulation and was heavily wounded. Moreover, her cultivation has yet to stabilize. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to defeat her so easily."
Feng Feiyun faintly felt that a terrifying enemy was rapidly growing. One day, he would cause the entire Jin Dynasty to tremble.
The women of the Ji Clan truly couldn't be touched.
…
…
Both Ling Donglai and Ji Cangyue were giving Feng Feiyun headaches. If he didn't want to have a headache, then he had to break through as soon as possible.
However, before that, Feng Feiyun wanted to try the Immeasurable Tower again!
Each time he passed a floor, he would obtain a reward from the tower itself. If it wasn't an increase in power, cultivation, or talents …
Moreover, the lower one's cultivation, the greater the reward after passing the floor.
Outside of the Immeasurable Tower, it was quite deserted. Only the old man in the daoist robe was still standing guard.
The disciples of the pagoda were busy killing corpses and exchanging for points. Many of them went out for several months without coming back, so naturally, there were very few people trying the tower.
Last time, Feiyun used his peak God Base cultivation to pass the sixth floor of the Immeasurable Tower, causing a great sensation.
The old man in the daoist robe remembered Feng Feiyun very well. After seeing Feng Feiyun appear outside of the tower again, he opened his eyes and smiled: "Feng Feiyun, you came to try the Immeasurable Tower again?"
Feng Feiyun nodded his head with a smile.
The old man couldn't see Feng Feiyun's cultivation, so he asked: "Have you reached first-level Heaven's Mandate yet?"
"No." Feng Feiyun answered.
The old man frowned and reminded him: "Before surpassing the Earth Tribulation and reaching first-level Heaven's Mandate, it is best not to try the seventh floor."
Feng Feiyun asked: "Why is that?"
"No one below Heaven's Mandate has ever been able to pass the seventh floor. Even first-level Heaven's Mandate cultivators have been able to do so since ancient times."
The old man was very optimistic about Feng Feiyun and was afraid that Feng Feiyun would be too stubborn and fall inside the tower. That would be too much of a pity.
He continued: "With your talents, if you reach first-level Heaven's Mandate, then you might be able to pass the seventh floor."
Feng Feiyun pondered for a bit and insisted: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior. I only want to see how far I need to go. If I really can't do it, then I will naturally come back."
The old man nodded his head and closed his eyes again to meditate. Dao energy floated around his body like a pine tree in the sky — very natural and lively.
Feng Feiyun also entered the valley and waited for the gate to open.
"Rumble!"
Not long after, the gate of the Immeasurable Tower opened. An ancient and mysterious aura gushed out from inside, causing one's soul to tremble. It was as if one would be able to step into an ancient and majestic land with just one step after entering this gate.
Feng Feiyun had already passed the first six floors of the tower, so it was a lot easier this time. He only spent two hours on the sixth floor while the other floors were instantly passed.
A bright light appeared before his eyes as he finally reached the seventh floor of the tower.
This was a vast and boundless world, so vast that even his divine sense couldn't completely expand. The vegetation here was flourishing, and the giant trees towered into the sky. In the distant mountains, there was a crimson tree that was three times taller than the mountains.
Looking at it from afar, the mountains that were several thousand meters tall were as small as ravines in the ground before this crimson tree.
Just like the previous floors, this place was filled with a deathly aura. Outside of plants, there were no other living creatures.
Feng Feiyun lifted his head to look at the sky and saw a sea of clouds with a huge mountain range hovering in the sky like a gigantic black dragon.
In order to take back her real body, Xiao Nuolan brought Feng Feiyun to the seventh floor of the Immeasurable Tower and appeared on top of this mountain range.
There were several ancient battlefields on top of this mountain range, and there was even a fallen phoenix there.
"Whoosh!"
Feng Feiyun wanted to fly to the floating mountain range, but he only made it halfway before he was stopped by an invisible force. He couldn't take another step forward, so he had to come back.
"The Immeasurable Tower is indeed worthy of being a tool of an ancient sacred spirit. I wonder what kind of great secrets are hidden in this place." Feng Feiyun used his Swift Samsara to fly towards the crimson tree.
He didn't know how to pass the seventh floor, but since he had already appeared on the seventh floor, it was better to be careful, lest he accidentally die here.
Eventually, he got closer and closer to the crimson tree. It was probably more than ten thousand meters tall with a trunk that was thick enough to block one's vision. Leaves that were one meter long fluttered in the sky and fell down along with the fireballs.
There were feather-like patterns on the tree trunk that circulated with a mist of light. Balls of flames were born from the tree trunk and between the leaves.
"It really is a Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree. Why is there a Phoenix Tree here?" Feng Feiyun stared at this huge crimson tree with a puzzled mind.
Phoenixes were very rare, so their nests must be built on top of the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree. Wherever there was a Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree, there would also be a Phoenix, so it was also called the "Phoenix Tree".
"Welcome to the seventh floor of the Immeasurable Tower. As long as you can defeat a young Phoenix, you will pass the seventh floor." A voice came to Feng Feiyun's mind.
This voice should be the Immeasurable Tower's spirit.
Although the Immeasurable Tower was split into two, the spirit was still inside this half of the tower.
A phoenix cry came from the top of the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree. A large amount of fire poured down from the sky. The temperature of this flame was as high as a cauldron and instantly turned the ground into a desert.
A nine meter long phoenix flew out, and its body was covered with red flames. Its feathers were incredibly beautiful, and its beak was sparkling and translucent like a sword. Its eyes were like massive rubies, and its claws were like divine hooks. The phoenix's might caused the ground to tremble.
