Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 449 - 434: Otherworld

"The Cyan Flame has passed out, unable to withstand the Tenth Palace’s pressure or complete the inheritance. Even if Zhou Leng can endure the Tenth Palace’s pressure, what does he have to obtain the Demon Spirit Master’s inheritance? He doesn’t even know the simplest Demon Spirit Technique."

The Light of the Mountains and Seas said, "Have you forgotten? The Eye of the Spirit Pavilion said that Zhou Leng’s Divine Text achievements are far above the two of them. And these two are the most proficient in Divine Text among the younger generation of the Demon Spirit World."

"Impossible, that’s a multicolored room, and no Demon Spirit Master has completed the inheritance for millennia. Why should Zhou Leng?"

"True."

The Light of the Mountains and Seas suddenly walked into the Tenth Palace again, looking towards the multicolored room.

The other four stared at the Light of the Mountains and Seas, waiting for the result.

The Light of the Mountains and Seas turned around, and the four saw a stupefied face.

"What happened?"

"The Stone Book is gone?"

"I don’t believe it!" The other four simultaneously walked into the Tenth Palace, looking towards the multicolored room.

On the stone platform, sure enough, the Stone Book was gone.

The five stood between the Ninth and the Tenth Palace, looking at each other, their expressions dazed.

"Do you think it’s possible that the multicolored room of the Tenth Palace never had a Stone Book?"

"Indeed, that possibility far exceeds a Martial Artist obtaining the multicolored room’s inheritance."

The Light of the Mountains and Seas added, "I suddenly noticed something very important."

"What is it?"

"The Cyan Flame passed out in the Seventh Palace. If he finished the trial on the Path of Pressure, his ranking wouldn’t be high. But if Zhou Leng carries him into the ’Path of Another Dimension’, even staying for an instant would mean he successfully reaches the Path of Another Dimension, far surpassing us."

"Isn’t that cheating?"

"The Ancient Spirit Path doesn’t forbid helping each other."

"If a Martial Artist is first and a small family’s Demon Spirit Master is second, all the people from the Three High Towers combined can only compete for third, and it will surely become the laughing stock of the Demon Spirit World."

The Light of the Mountains and Seas sighed, "What if, I mean if Zhou Leng and the Cyan Flame become first and second, what will you do?"

"Report it to the Three High Towers, accuse the two of cheating!" The Demon Spirit Master speaking was already disgruntled with Zhou Leng’s intrusion and erupted immediately.

"Yes, we should rally all the students of the Three High Towers to stop this unfair trial!"

"We cannot let an Alien Race and a small family’s Demon Spirit Master gain undeserved glory!"

They had prepared for so long just to compete for the top three.

Before, the five had a great chance at the top three.

Now, the five are competing for third, and the distance is beyond imagination.

As top talents of this term from the Three High Towers, they can not endure such treatment.

The Light of the Mountains and Seas recalled the Stone Book from the multicolored space, and an uncontrollable thought emerged in his mind. If Zhou Leng truly acquired the legendary Magic Book, what status would he have at the Three High Towers?

The Light of the Mountains and Seas said, "As fellow students of the Three High Towers, I suggest you give up this idea to avoid escalation."

"The Light of the Mountains and Seas, you really disappoint us."

The Light of the Mountains and Seas sighed, keeping silent, and quietly walked into the Tenth Palace, beginning to endure the Tenth Palace’s Star God’s pressure.

In the endless void, the stars shone brightly.

An old voice resounded.

"Congratulations, human genius Martial Artist Zhou Leng, you have become the first Trial Taker in the history of the Ancient Spirit Path to break into the seventh trial of the Path of Another Dimension. Next, you... and the person on your shoulder will undergo a true High-Level Civilization’s Demon Spirit Trial, although the process may be brief, please cherish this brilliant moment."

"Thank you for the reminder." Zhou Leng expressed his gratitude.

Looking around, as if suspended in the universe, vast diamond-like stars glittered in all directions.

Besides the dark void and stars, there was nothing else.

Zhou Leng didn’t even dare to put down the Cyan Flame, fearing that if he let go, he would fall into the void.

"Hm..."

The Cyan Flame groaned softly, slowly opening his eyes.

"Where is this..."

Zhou Leng set down the Cyan Flame, supporting him.

"Where are we?" The Cyan Flame looked confused.

"The seventh trial of the Ancient Spirit Path, the Path of Another Dimension."

"Hm? You’ve passed the Tenth Palace and completed the inheritance? You completed the Divine Text inheritance?"

"Theoretically, yes, actually as well," Zhou Leng said.

The Cyan Flame stared blankly at Zhou Leng, realizing what he said about studying Divine Texts was true.

"Wait, how did you do it?"

"Just a Divine Text test, it was a guess," Zhou Leng said, taking out the Divine Text Magic Book.

The Cyan Flame quickly flipped through it, exclaiming, "It’s almost identical to His Majesty the Blazing Heaven Torch’s Magic Book, only the Divine Texts inside are different, the color, this feeling, exactly the same."

"Unfortunately, I can’t take it with me," Zhou Leng said with slight regret.

The Cyan Flame carefully touched it for a long time, handed it back to Zhou Leng, and after a long daze, suddenly became energetic.

"Select Tower Spirit, take the Tower Book."

"What?"

The Cyan Flame said solemnly, "Your acquisition of a High-Level Civilization Magic Book is a great achievement, far above a Demigod. Next, the Demon Spirit Council of the Three High Towers will grant you various rewards."

"There will be ones with status, with treasures, with Magic Potions, many. Those wise sages... opportunistic yet intelligent people will want you to choose. They most likely hope to see what Magic Potions or treasures you select."

"But in reality, becoming a Tower Spirit, splitting your Spiritual Power to attach it to the ’Divine Tower’ and gaining a Tower Book is the best choice."

"The so-called Divine Tower is the foundation of our Demon Spirit World, the origin of all power in the Demon Spirit World."

"The God Tower is a slightly damaged Stellar Treasure, possibly the most precious in the Ten Realms, without exception."

"According to our speculation, the God Tower is a treasure of a top force in the Starry World, which fell into our world and thus gave birth to the Demon Spirit System."

"The so-called Tower Spirit is when you first expend some Spiritual Power to attach to it. Initially, you will lose Spiritual Power, which is your Martial Arts Will."

"But once you become a Tower Spirit, the entire God Tower will nourish your Martial Arts Will, and you can even participate in all spiritual trials within the God Tower or the Demon Spirit World."

"The God Tower is our ultimate inheritance."

"All known forces in the Ten Realms cannot destroy the God Tower. Even if the planets of the Demon Spirit World were destroyed, the God Tower would still stand tall."

"Therefore, the Demon Spirit World records all information and data within the God Tower, everything. Including all Martial Arts images, combat videos, and even Stellar Inheritance."

"With the Tower Book, you can browse all the information and data inside."

"You must insist, only get the identity of the Tower Spirit and the Tower Book, nothing else."

"It is said that the Tower Spirit has a chance for resurrection, but I’m not quite sure. All I know is that the masters of the Demon Spirit World have launched countless wars for the Tower Spirit."

"Ninety percent of the wars in the Demon Spirit World can be summed up in one sentence: a war triggered by a God Tower."

Zhou Leng opened the Demonized Watch, releasing a piece of video.

In the middle of the video, a massive tower as huge as a mountain is located in the distance, pitch-black and ferocious, with a base diameter of several tens of kilometers, like a city.

"Is it here?" Zhou Leng asked.

"This is the ’Great Demon Spirit Tower’, established by the masters to hide the God Tower. The God Tower is inside the Great Demon Spirit Tower."

"I see, then as you said, I’ll try to select the Tower Spirit and the Tower Book. After all, we Martial Artists still don’t have a complete system for training Martial Arts Will, but you in the Demon Spirit World do not lack it."

"However, the Tower Book involves too many secrets, and you mustn’t leak them to the outside world. Once revealed, you will be cursed."

"I understand," Zhou Leng said.

Cyan Flame looked at Zhou Leng with envy.

"The Tower Spirit and the Tower Book are the ultimate dreams of every Demon Spirit Master."

"After obtaining it..."

Cyan Flame wanted to say more, but suddenly the stars in the void flickered, an unusual Star Power came from all directions, forming bright lines of light.

The place where they stood grew brighter.

Star light fell on his body, Zhou Leng’s expression remained unchanged.

Cyan Flame’s complexion changed drastically, gritting his teeth and said, "What is this hellish place? Why do I feel my entire body cracking?"

"I’m not quite sure what the Dimensional Path is, if you can’t bear it, leave as soon as possible."

"Just wait a little longer..."

Cyan Flame’s Magic Robe burned, turning his skin quickly ulcerated, as if drenched in acid.

"I choose to leave!" Cyan Flame shouted.

A white light descended and enveloped Cyan Flame.

When the white light dissipated, he disappeared from the Dimensional Path.

In Zhou Leng’s mind appeared the image of Cyan Flame’s ulcerated skin. It appears to be the effect of the Destruction Star Power, which a common Innate cannot withstand. Then...

He glanced down at his skin.

In his mind, the ten Divine Texts of the Undying Star Body were spinning rapidly.

A barely visible silver light flickered on the skin’s surface.

The Star Power from all directions fell on his body, mostly being reflected by the surface silver light, only a part was absorbed.

"This place seems to be simulating the starry sky..."

Zhou Leng sat cross-legged in the void, operating the Undying Star Body.

In his mind, the ten Divine Texts of the Undying Star Body spun even faster than in the Tenth Palace.

Because the Tenth Palace was just the Star God’s pressure, but here, it is the actual Cosmic Star Power.

The Star Power heading to Blue Star is weakened by multiple forces such as solar wind, interstellar matter, interstellar magnetic fields, and Blue Star’s magnetic fields, so when it reaches humans, its power is extremely diminished.

But, at this moment, there is no extra power to shield him.

The Star Power around gradually increased, the place where Zhou Leng was became brighter and brighter.

Unlike the Star God’s pressure, these Star Powers have no pressure but are stronger, and the Destruction Star Power among them is far superior to the Star God’s pressure.

Fortunately, Zhou Leng successfully completed the cultivation of the first Divine Text.

At this moment, within his body, star light currents flowed slowly, forming silver light all over his body, like the solar wind of a human body and Blue Star magnetic field, resisting the Destruction Star Power.

With this kind of power protection, not only was Zhou Leng not killed by the Destruction Star Power, but he could continuously cultivate at a speed far surpassing the Tenth Palace.

The realm of the Undying Star Body improved rapidly.

However, this is ultimately not a place for cultivation, but a dimensional space, a place used by the Ancient Spirit’s Path to test Demon Spirit Masters of High-Level Civilization.

The Star Power grew stronger and stronger, until it shone a dazzling white light around Zhou Leng.

The protection of the Undying Star Body slowly trembled.

The silver light outside his skin that blocked Star Power gradually cracked.

He opened his eyes, only to see dazzling white light, nothing else.

The surface of his body quickly heated up, already far exceeding 100 degrees Celsius.

His entire body was about to boil.

Feeling the clear aura of death, Zhou Leng silently endured.

When the Undying Star Body reached its limit, he chose to end the trial.

The Star Power scattered, white light descended.
