Transcript
00:00Luofeng turned in a slow circle, searching the walls on either side for the
00:04specimens and life diagrams he had expected. There was nothing there. Only bare surfaces
00:10stared back at him. Blank? That doesn't make sense. Where are the life diagrams?
00:15Shouldn't they be displayed as specimens? He stepped up to the portal and studied every
00:19inch of it, certain he was missing something obvious. He found nothing at all. Then the
00:24voices came. They were thin and faint, barely more than whispers. Yet they seemed to surround
00:31him from every direction at once. The whispers swelled slowly. Specks of black light drifted
00:37out of the empty air and gathered in front of him, pulling together until they formed a
00:41blurred figure that glowed with a dark radiance. It looked unremarkable, yet Luofeng felt an
00:47overwhelming urge to kneel before it. The figure kept its back to him. You stand one step away
00:53from becoming an ultimate true god, it said slowly. Know this. To climb to the ultimate
00:58level of a true god, you walk alone. I hope you can reach the summit of Wuchi Tower. It
01:04turned, looked at him for a moment, and dissolved into nothing. Luofeng stood frozen. He had not
01:11made out a single feature. Yet he was ready to fight and die for that shape. A virtual consciousness,
01:17he breathed, his excitement rising. Far stronger than the last generation of Duandong River.
01:23That earlier master had died long ago, but before fading it had left behind an energy body
01:29consciousness to select its heirs. A virtual consciousness is not alive, yet it holds every
01:35memory of the being it came from, and memory is a kind of power in itself. Such a presence understood
01:40all the chaos laws, which made it extraordinary. Luofeng guessed it had been left behind by his
01:46majesty, the godly king. It must be his majesty, the godly king, he murmured. He built Wuchi Tower.
01:53The life diagrams on this true god path are priceless. Duandong River's inheritance holds nothing like
01:59them, and even the great beings who serve. His majesty directly are not qualified to read them.
02:05Only the godly king himself could leave a consciousness like this behind.
02:09The sealing task had seemed like a simple prize, the powerful machine type. Treasure called
02:15Wuchi God and a chance to train. But these diagrams changed everything. Even the ancestral teachers could
02:21never obtain anything so precious. And the godly king of the world of Jin would never hand such
02:26treasures out freely. That giant object floating in universe ocean, he thought. Could it be the dead
02:32godly king? Did he die, then build Wuchi Tower? Forge Wuchi God, and arrange all these trials before
02:38his end? His thoughts raced faster and faster. Then a pillar of light descended and swallowed him
02:44whole, and he vanished from the portal. Luofeng reappeared in a boundless world of snow.
02:50The fifth level of Wuchi Tower, he said, and then he smiled. The fourth floor had given him a great
02:56deal.
02:56He had expected some gains before entering the world of Jin, but not so much. Over the past 4,000
03:03years,
03:04his godly body had climbed to 60,000 times. The life gene level? And he was only one step short
03:11of 90,000.
03:12He could not stop turning over the bigger mystery. How had that giant body died, and why did it drift
03:18in
03:18universe ocean? Why had the original mind guided them toward it? And where did the completely different
03:24force that great thunder star? Master used before his death come from? Meanwhile, in the silver palace
03:30beside Wuchi Tower, the four leaders who guarded godly King Valley sat on their thrones. A shining
03:36screen showed them the snowy floor. The fifth floor! The black mist on the left throne exclaimed.
03:42He's already reached the fifth level in less than half an era has passed. No matter what.
03:47He's standing on the fifth floor now, said the silver armored woman, her eyes bright.
03:52The towering man and the strange beast leader were just as excited. Can that soldier Milky Way reach
03:58the eighth floor? The fifth to seventh floors help the great beings greatly, but they are brutal.
04:04Many soldiers from the world of Jin have made it to the fifth, but most fell on the fifth,
04:10sixth, or seventh. Only one has ever reached the eighth. These three floors are truly deadly.
04:16Milky Way is remarkable. He might push through all three. The leaders knew something no soldier could.
04:21A great secret lay within Wuchi Tower. They could not see the eighth or ninth floors.
04:27Only one elite soldier from earlier generations had ever reached the eighth floor, and even he had
04:33fallen there. That floor was the final hazard. Whoever conquered it would stand on the ninth floor,
04:38and reaching the top meant success and a ceiling. Back on the fifth floor,
04:43Luo Feng looked across the vast snow. Only me, he thought. Where are the others? Fifteen soldiers had
04:50been on the fourth floor. The wind and snow began to whirl and wrapped around him. An old voice spoke
04:56through the storm. Soldier Milky Way, the others have all been eliminated. From now on, you alone continue.
05:02A powerful creature waits on this floor. Defeat him and you advance to the sixth. Fail and you leave
05:08Wuchi Tower. Luo Feng considered. Only the first three levels had been deadly, and he was past them
05:14now. He was safe for the moment. Huh? Luo Feng looked into the distance and noticed someone
05:19walking toward him. He wore a white cape and seemed to move slowly, yet he kept closing the distance with
05:25steady certainty. He had a handsome face, a red mole between his eyebrows and pointed ears.
05:31Soldier Milky Way, my energy will match your level. You're skilled with blades, so I'll fight you with
05:36blades. Snow gathered in his palms and hardened into an ice blade. At the same time, his posture
05:42sharpened until he seemed to be a blade himself. That hostility pressed down on Luo Feng like a
05:48weight. Blade? Luo Feng raised his hand, and Blood Shadow Blade appeared. He met the stare with equal
05:54fierceness. Good. The white-caped man smirked. First attack. He moved like a phantom. His blade's shadow
06:01flashed, and then countless shadows multiplied until... Luo Feng seemed trapped inside a world made of
06:08blades. Illusion means nothing to me, Luo Feng told himself, and the illusion shattered, but a real blade
06:14was already upon him. The ice blade struck Blood Shadow Blade, and the white-caped man was thrown
06:19backward. He came again, faster and burning with fury. Second strike! He slashed low with terrible force,
06:26and the world seemed to split in two. Seal! Luo Feng's blade trembled, and a thin line of light sped
06:33toward
06:34its target, thickening as it went. When the two lights met, they formed a miniature world that wrapped
06:39around the enemy. Then the two beams collided, and the small world cracked apart. Strike three! The white-caped
06:47man shouted, and his body spun into a whirlwind. Strike nine! Strike thirty-six! Strike ninety-nine! Strike one-sixty
06:55-three!
06:55He fought like a madman, switching techniques the moment each strike was blocked. No two were alike.
07:01Luo Feng moved from excitement to rapt fascination. Then it clicked. The fifth floor was not a trial at
07:08all, but a gift. Each technique guided Luo Feng through a different way of fighting, quietly teaching
07:14him. Every one of the white-caped man's blade arts drew from the basic laws. Gold. Wood, water, fire,
07:21mud, wind, thunder, light, time, and space. Chaos laws are mysterious, and beings above true gods chase
07:28their ultimate forms. Yet the ten basic laws remain the foundation. And when it comes to merging laws and
07:34reshaping the universe, they are the building blocks. Luo Feng had only a shallow grasp of that
07:40foundation. The white-caped man had already shown sixteen. Blade techniques built on gold law alone,
07:46each with a different conception, and everyone had reached top-tier level six. How could anyone create
07:52so many extraordinary techniques from the basic laws alone? Luo Feng's understanding of the ten basic
07:59laws surged. Each strike taught him more than ten thousand eras of comprehension could. How could he
08:05not be exhilarated? Every blow Luo Feng had traded until now had been a rehearsal. Then the ice blade in
08:12the
08:12white-caped man's hand split open, and a golden beast god burst out of it, roaring. Luo Feng nearly
08:18forgot how to breathe. A golden beast god, here, on the fifth floor? It resembled a single-horned lizard,
08:24though that comparison hardly did it justice. It lowered its head, aimed the horn forward, and charged,
08:30burning its own life energy with every stride. Its shriek rang across the snowfield, and a thin trail of
08:36golden light hung in the air wherever it passed. Luo Feng lifted blood-shadow blade. Light of water and fire
08:43flared outward, wrapped around the charge, and held it back. For the first time all day, an attack actually
08:49pushed him. Gold merged with space, he gasped. That is a level seven blade technique. The three sixty strikes
08:57before had each rested on a single basic law, and everyone had sat at top-tier level six, the rank
09:03of Nirvana
09:03incarnation. This new attack had fused gold with space and climbed to level seven. The white-caped
09:10man had promised to fight with the same energies Luo Feng used, yet he was clearly pouring far more
09:16power into each stroke. Luo Feng had survived the earlier strikes by wielding Nirvana incarnation,
09:22but the lesson was plain now. The fifth floor tested skill, not raw godly power. Blood-shadow blade and
09:30his divine might counted for almost nothing here. Far away, the four leaders of godly King Valley were
09:36laughing. He has already seen the secret of this floor, one of them said. Milky Way kept fighting,
09:42but he never once used his full strength against his opponent. He wanted to learn the enemy's
09:47techniques. Every soldier who reaches this floor will eventually understand it too, another replied,
09:53and then they'll gladly take in what they've learned. Luo Feng was indeed grasping it. The three sixty
10:00strikes had struck him like a lesson. Thanks to the Duandong River inheritance, he already knew how
10:05vital the ten basic laws were. He had understood them before, but never to this depth. Understanding laws
10:12resembles knowing the elements. Knowing them is only the beginning. You still need skill to combine them
10:18in universe ocean. Joining merge laws or time and space laws into a top-tier level five technique,
10:25already counted as supreme, yet that level was a hard threshold to break. Luo Feng had built Nirvana
10:31incarnation at level six from gold and space, and light of water and fire from water, fire, and gold.
10:38Those ranks and limits were merely thresholds. A life gene level of 10,081 had once been called perfect,
10:43and Luo Feng had already passed sixty thousand, with the space of inheritance at his back. He kept
10:49learning as they fought, and his blade techniques improved step by step. Strike three ninety-nine!
10:55The white-caped man became a tornado, golden light flickering through its spinning walls.
11:01The flickers multiplied until they surrounded Luo Feng entirely. He swung blood-shadow blades straight into
11:07the storm's heart. The golden traces burst apart one after another, and the blade light tore through the
11:13wind, through the energies, even through time and space. When the storm cleared, nothing remained of it.
11:19The white-caped man stumbled back three steps and glared at him. Luo Feng stared at his blade,
11:25dizzy with joy. At last he had a top-tier level seven blade technique. He had been stuck since Nine
11:31Smoke Marsh. There, with ten thousand true gods watching, he had killed a strange beast true god.
11:37His technique had come close to breaking through, but he had not yet cultivated enough. Now the three
11:43I-60 strikes had solidified his foundation in laws. When he combined water, fire, gold, and space,
11:49the result was an explosion that tore everything apart. I forged this technique inside Wuchi Tower,
11:55he thought. This time I'll reach the ninth floor and the very top. Nothing will stop me, and I'll crush
12:01anyone who stands in my way. This move is Nine Days Path. He now owned three techniques, Nirvana
12:07Incarnation, Light of Water and Fire, and Nine Days Path. They belonged inscribed on Blood Shadow Blade,
12:16but this was Wuchi Tower, and he decided not to carve them yet. His level seven art put him on
12:22par with the
12:23average inheritor of Duandong River. Only two inheritors had ever reached level, eight as universe masters,
12:29and most had stopped at seven. A new thought followed. With his blade art at this height,
12:35he could finally work on the third layer of the Shi-Woo wings engravings, and the same applied to Star
12:41Tower.
12:42He had taken another pair of wings after killing. Pacing master, but the third layer had been too
12:47intricate to grasp. Now that his blade art had climbed, he should be able to understand it. The first layer
12:54was
12:54time and space and chaos, and the second was golden country. What would the third be? In the palace on
13:01the third floor of the Silver Palace, the Black Mist leader cried out. He has broken through his
13:07blade technique. It's at average true god level? Here is how the latter stood. Top tier level six was
13:13elementary true god. Level seven was average, and level eight was senior. The axe art of huge axe creator
13:20reached level eight, and with his supreme true treasure he could wield level nine. Level nine was a limit level
13:27true god, and supreme true treasures could push a being higher still, as they had for Ji-Fan-Zi. Level
13:34ten belonged to
13:35supreme true gods, reachable only through supreme treasures, though a few beings could exceed it.
13:42Luo Feng had built level seven as a mere universe master, so once he became a true god he could
13:47easily pass the so-called
13:48limit. Teacher Origen had created the virtual universe before he was suppressed, without any supreme true
13:55treasure, which had already made him a level ten practitioner. During his long suppression by the
14:01original mind he had broken through again, reaching the level of true gods of void space. Yet he remained
14:07bound. His godly body could not improve without godly power supplies, and his miniature universe could not
14:14morph. It was still full of chaos air. A lawmaster can create blade techniques at ordinary true god
14:19level. The towering leader said, when I was a lawmaster I was nowhere near that. Passing the fifth floor is
14:27supposed to be hard, the silver armored woman sighed. But all he needs to do is survive the attacks.
14:33Milky Way is far too strong. The fifth floor demanded level seven attack techniques. The white-caped man's first
14:39three sixty strikes had reached only level six, and the merged blade arts after them had reached seven.
14:45So long as Luo Feng was not crushed, the white-caped man would concede in the end.
14:50Strike four fifty. Luo Feng's blade art surged, driving the white-caped man back and carving a long
14:57gully across the frozen ground. The white-caped man got back to his feet. You are indeed powerful,
15:03he said. I admit defeat. He let his ice blade go. It dissolved back into snow, and he walked off
15:10into
15:10the distance until he vanished from sight. Luo Feng stood alone, dazed. It's over? Just like that? So
15:18close. I'm almost there. After nine days' path, he had poured everything into the duel. Each time he had
15:25nearly overwhelmed the white-caped man. Learning something from every exchange and folding it into
15:30his own art. He wanted level eight, a rank only two Duandong River inheritors had reached as universe
15:37masters. It was not easy, and now the white-caped man was gone, with the goal still out of reach.
15:43Counting it all up, four hundred and fifty strikes, three hundred sixty built on basic laws, and ninety
15:49merged. Every single one had been the white-caped man trying to show all he could. Then the realization
15:55hit him. He admitted defeat? So I passed? What if I had used techniques from supreme true treasures?
16:02Supreme treasures could strengthen technique. Wu-Chi Tower had been left by His Majesty the
16:07Godly King, and it must be able to tell whether a candidate fought with his own skill or with
16:13treasures. Otherwise, the whole trial would be a joke. A pillar of light descended and enveloped him,
16:19and Luo Feng left the snowy fifth floor behind.
16:21Some trials ask you to win. This one only asked Luo Feng to survive, and the thing sent to enforce
16:28that rule had a thousand eyes. Far from where Luo Feng stood, the ground of a mountain region began to
16:35tremble, as though something enormous were stirring beneath it. Cracks split the earth, jagged swells pushed
16:41upward, and shattered rock tumbled away in every direction. Then a dark green shadow rose out of the
16:47depths. A beast climbing out of the ground? Luo Feng murmured. It heaved itself into the open with a
16:53rumble that rolled across the land. Its face was among the ugliest Luo Feng had ever seen, something
17:00like a dark green toad. Yet what truly stood out was its skin, which seemed to be covered with eyes,
17:06hundreds at a glance. The beast lifted its head and bellowed in fury. Every eye on its body opened at
17:12once and released a golden ray. The beam shot outward in every direction. Stretching as far as
17:18one hundred million kilometers before fading, Luo Feng studied the light and judged by how much of it
17:23there was. A thousand eyes, he concluded. The thousand-eyed beast turned half its gaze toward him,
17:30and its voice boomed through heaven and earth. It has been so long. So very long. At last I can
17:36rise
17:36again. Warrior, I will deal with you slowly. Very slowly. The longer you endure, the happier I become.
17:43On this sixth level, it is rare to find even a single living thing to play with.
17:48Luo Feng almost laughed. The longer he endured, he was far from helpless. His godly body had grown to
17:55a height of one hundred million kilometers, and on the third level he had scoured and collected
18:00treasures, especially after that plant life form warrior fell. Among them were many automaton-type
18:05true treasures. Once combined effectively, they could unleash tremendous combat power.
18:11I'll survive, he thought. If you want me to give up, you'll have to work very hard for it.
18:16Then the beast's roar split the sky. The ground beneath it broke apart into continents,
18:21each around one hundred million kilometers across, and at least a thousand of them rose into the air.
18:26They pressed together and condensed until they became black blades, each about three hundred
18:31thousand kilometers long. A thousand blades hung in void space, arranged like a military formation,
18:38while the beast watched Luo Feng. Warrior, it said. I hope you've lived long enough.
18:44The blades rushed at him in formation, moving fast enough to whistle through the air. Luo Feng frowned.
18:50A thousand spiritual force weapons under one control. That's the real problem. The trouble with
18:56spiritual force weapons is that a great being usually pours everything into one at a time to draw
19:02out its full combat power. Controlling ten or a hundred at once only weakens each of them.
19:08Controlling one at a time is far better. Luo Feng was an exception. Since he had several other bodies
19:13and could split his consciousness, each consciousness could still unleash its strongest power.
19:18This thousand-eyed beast had been born able to divide itself into a thousand consciousnesses,
19:24and each consciousness could release its strongest power. Its scheme was simple and terrifying.
19:30Thousands of blade shadows, flowing like lightning, covered the sky above Luo Feng and then dove at
19:37him. He had no room to escape. By the time he deflected the first shadow, the other 999 were
19:43already closing around him, and he was trapped inside their formation. Luo Feng activated his warm-up
19:48method. Blood ghost blade in hand, he felt as if his whole body had become a giant blade.
19:53He met one black blade head-on and borrowed its force to fling himself backward. But the blade
19:59recovered at once and pursued him. The others followed. How troublesome. He ground his teeth.
20:06Spiritual force weapons are far faster than great beings. But to me this is pointless. He released his
20:12body technique without holding back. This form of attack meant nothing to him. A true collective
20:17assault might have made him consider retreat. But this was only a siege. At most, eight to ten blades
20:23could reach him at any moment. He was not afraid of that. Of the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels,
20:29the sixth should be the easiest for warrior Milky Way, the black mist commander said, watching the
20:36screen. His body technique is the most astounding thing about him. And this level tests body technique
20:42above all. A handful have already passed the sixth level. The silver armored. Female commander replied,
20:49With a body technique far stronger than theirs, it should be even easier for him.
20:54I'm curious, though. How much of his skill will this warrior force Thousand Eyes to reveal?
20:59The burly commander nodded. He's taking things far too lightly.
21:04Thousand Eyes must feel its dignity is at stake. It will attack harder and harder,
21:09trying to suppress him until he has no chance to strike back. Then the matter is settled.
21:14I'll place my bet, said the evil-looking beast commander at the far right. Thousand Eyes will
21:19use Thousand Eyes Heartlight to defeat warrior Milky Way. For Luofeng, this was almost a breeze.
21:25Within the virtual space of the space of inheritance, he had spent a great deal of time
21:30honing his body techniques. He had sparred with generations of super-great beings to learn their
21:36methods. And a substantial number of them had controlled spiritual force weapons. He had even
21:41fought opponents like the three generations of ancestors. What could possibly be new here?
21:46His body techniques already contained a range of warfare methods for close combat.
21:51For spiritual force weapons, and for restraining-type weapons, a thousand blades pressed in until
21:57everything blurred into one knife-like shadow. Blade struck Blade in a rapid clatter, and most of the
22:04clashes involved, Blood Ghost Blade colliding with the weapons around it. Every so often a blow reached
22:09his godly body, but he kept working to place himself where he had the advantage.
22:14Keep this up for even an era, he called across the distance. Eyes on the beast, and you still can't
22:21do
22:21much harm to me. The Thousand-Eyed Beast strained to control its weapons. How could it see how easy
22:26this was for its opponent? It was shaken. Since the beast first set foot here, Luofeng had been the
22:33warrior with the strongest body technique it had ever met. And so far it had not forced him to his
22:39limit. You little warrior! It roared. The attack pattern shifted. Until then, the blades had simply
22:46surrounded Luofeng and struck in a loose, coordinated way. Now, in the moment of attack, they moved in
22:52groups of ten. The Thousand Blades split into one hundred teams of ten, each working in perfect harmony.
22:59Their teamwork raised their power more than tenfold, and suddenly Luofeng, who had been taking things
23:06easy, was cornered. What kind of beast is this? Luofeng muttered. One heart controlling a thousand
23:12blades? And every technique is so strong. He fought to keep up. He had to dodge, evade, and attack all
23:19at
23:19once. His body technique surged to its full strength. This was the moment that mattered. Dodging alone would
23:25not hold. Every blade he left behind would circle back. And every step had to set up the next one.
23:31He could not afford a single wasted movement. He moved between dodging and striking, each motion
23:37borrowing power from the other. This was the strongest body technique he owned. For a moment,
23:42it seemed heaven and earth were coming apart. Nine Days Path was a blade technique he used often.
23:47Once it was unleashed, every blade nearby was torn apart, battered, and hurled into the distance.
23:53And the thousand blade formation collapsed into chaos. Wherever Luofeng passed, the ground was
24:00bombarded and torn open, leaving devastated land behind. Because he dodged with borrowed strength,
24:06he stayed in full control and held the advantage. I was wrong, the evil beast commander said,
24:13staring at the screen in shock. Even with Thousand Eyes using Thousand Eyes Heartlight,
24:18it could not defeat warrior Milky Way. Earlier he seemed merely to be dodging. Who would have guessed
24:25he was weaving his blade technique into his body technique? That took his body technique to an
24:31even higher level. Attack is the best defense. A single powerful strike can lend strength to a dodge,
24:37making it ten or a hundred times easier. But any mistake in attacking brings disaster. That is why
24:42merging an attack into body technique is so hard. It takes deep experience and rare talent to refine
24:48such a method. Luofeng had spent more than eight million eras perfecting this body technique,
24:53and he was rightly proud of it. Measured against the accomplishments of generations of Duandong River
24:59heirs, his own gift for comprehension was clearly exceptional.
25:03Thousand Eyes is using Thousand Eyes Heartlight, one commander said. It must be frantic cornered like
25:09this. Even with the heartlight, said the burly commander. Thousand Eyes would gain only a slight
25:15edge. It has no way to defeat that. Warrior Milky Way, his body, technique has reached the level of a
25:22law, master and achieved perfection. It is absolutely formidable. The Black Mist commander leaned back,
25:28satisfied as the scene played on. In the world of mountains and hills, the Thousand Eyed Beast spoke
25:35again. Warrior, you are truly impressive. Even I cannot defeat you. Of all the warriors I have met,
25:42you are among the most powerful. Perhaps you will reach the peak of Wu-Chi Tower. The beast punched a
25:48hole into the earth and vanished deep beneath it. The Thousand Blades around. Luofeng turned instantly into
25:54streams of light flying outward, then crashed down to become mountains and hills. Luofeng let out a long
26:00breath. Such madness, he muttered. A Thousand Blades Under One Will. His energy output from start to
26:07finish matches mine. And even at the end he could still release power at this level. He knew what
26:13that meant. He had been weaker and his opponent had been stronger. The beast might only have been
26:18holding that energy steady. Its true identity could well be a true god of void space. Luofeng realized the
26:25sixth level had never been about slaying the beast. It was about enduring long enough to make the
26:30beast show its hand. A streak of light descended from the sky and enveloped Luofeng. In an instant he
26:37vanished from the world of the sixth level of Wu-Chi Tower. Hidden in the ice, glowing characters
26:44from a lost civilization were rising to the surface of a mountain. Luofeng had come to the seventh floor
26:49expecting a fight. He had not expected a book. The floor looked empty at first. A frozen world,
26:56cold air everywhere, and a nearly transparent ice mountain standing close in front of him.
27:02The seventh floor!
27:04Luofeng's pulse quickened. Nine floors make up Wu-Chi Tower. The first eight are trials. And if I reach
27:11the ninth, I win. Only two hazards remained, here and on the eighth floor. He looked around carefully.
27:17No matter how strong he was, the final stretch demanded caution. Because the closer he came to
27:22victory, the easier it would be to slip. Space rippled in the cold sky, and a single giant eye
27:28opened there. A godly eye? Luofeng stared upward. The third floor had held a godly eye, too, and it
27:36had unleashed a powerful mind shock. Why would the seventh floor hold one as well? It should at least
27:41be different. A blurred golden light poured down and covered him. Soldier Milky Way, an ancient voice
27:48echoed in his ears. Pass the test of the godly eye, and you'll enter the eighth floor. Your final trial
27:55in Wu-Chi Tower. The voice faded, and a crushing mind shock struck him, as harsh as the one that
28:00had
28:01ended the third floor's test. Each pulse pressed against the inside of his skull, and he gritted his
28:07teeth until his jaw ached. The eye could not be hidden from, so he would have to face it directly.
28:12Mind against mind, Luofeng stopped questioning and threw his full strength into resisting it.
28:17The four leaders watched the screen from their thrones.
28:21That soldier Milky Way has a very strong mind, the towering leader rumbled.
28:26He should pass this floor with ease. Let's see how much he learns from the godly eye technique.
28:32Majesty of godly king created the godly eye technique, the black mist leader said.
28:37In the world of jinn, only the special ones are sealed. Those who have made great contributions
28:42or show great potential. Six soldiers have reached the seventh floor so far. Five failed,
28:48and one made it to the eighth. The worst never finished the first volume, and the best reached
28:52the third. Let's see how many volumes this Milky Way can learn.
28:56Luofeng had no idea they were watching. He was busy fighting the mind shock, glancing between the eye and
29:02the sky and the ice mountain beside him. Their voices, if they reached him at all, were far away.
29:07Is this all I have to do, just endure? What's the limit of this eye? His willpower was strong,
29:13but everything has a limit. If the eye pushed past it, he would collapse and be thrown out of the
29:18trial. Still, this was a rare chance to sharpen his willpower, and he doubted this floor could stop
29:24him. The golden light spread until he seemed to be wearing a cloth of gold. The shock swelled to the
29:30level of a limit true god almost at once. Yet it did not seem to trouble him as much as
29:34it should have.
29:35Huh. His eyes caught something on the ice mountain. What is that?
29:41Ancient characters covered its surface, carved in the script of the old civilization.
29:46They belonged to the first volume of the Godly Eye Technique. Godly Eye Technique.
29:50His excitement broke through the pressure. Every floor after the third one has a reward.
29:55And this one hands me a technique outright. Secret techniques were not like ordinary ones.
30:01A universe night technique meant little to a universe master. And as great beings grew stronger,
30:06they needed methods that matched their power. Secret techniques like Duanmi, Donghua, and Undying
30:12River were useful across the board. And a powerful one like Undying River could certainly raise someone's
30:18strength. Luofeng had already obtained a full set of Duanmi, but under the original minds,
30:24restrictions he could read only. The first three volumes.
30:27Once someone became a true god of void space, he could read the rest. Duanmi could help a universe
30:33master or true god overcome. Many godly power-burning techniques. And that edge would stay with him
30:39even after he advanced further. In the world of Jin, only the first several levels of godly power-burning
30:46techniques were spread. Oh, I got a secret technique, Luofeng said.
30:51Does Duandong River have it too? Duandong River had only one inheritor per generation.
30:57But His Majesty the Godly King had built an entire superpower, so perhaps the techniques he held were
31:03not all in Duandong River's keeping. Luofeng read closely and the mind shock no longer mattered.
31:09The godly eye technique is a technique for the mind, he said overjoyed. He knew the ancient
31:15civilization well enough to understand the value. The ancestral teachers of Duandong River might have
31:21made three or four volumes of it, but truly skilled practitioners would not stop at an ordinary level.
31:27Only complete techniques that stood out across the whole. Civilization were worth having,
31:32and this was one of them. Luofeng read the introduction to the first volume, Willpower.
31:38Every great being has it, some stronger, some weaker. When a weak being dies, everything fades.
31:43When a great being dies, his willpower remains, even in a drop of blood or a single scale,
31:49and it still carries great mental pressure. While great beings live, they fight each other,
31:54and when minds clash, one can toy with the other's head. If one's willpower is far greater,
32:00it can drive the weaker into a coma. Luofeng nodded. A great being had a soul, a consciousness,
32:06and willpower. If the soul was destroyed, the being was dead forever. Consciousness rested on
32:12the soul. So the more powerful the soul, the greater the consciousness. When two great beings
32:18fought and the gap between their consciousnesses was huge, like the gap between a true god and a
32:24universe knight, the stronger could crush the weaker soul with ease. Willpower, though, did not depend on
32:30the soul. Someone with a weak soul and a weak consciousness could still have mighty willpower.
32:35For a weak being, willpower did little more than resist illusions. Once a being became a true god,
32:41a true god of void space or higher, it became a powerful tool. Even after a supreme being died,
32:48his willpower lingered, as the drop of godly blood Luofeng carried showed. Yet even in the ancient
32:54civilization, some great beings used willpower, only through crude means and never learned to wield
33:00it flexibly. Willpower had no physical form, so only supreme beings who understood it could build
33:06techniques on it. True gods of void space could grasp. The first level of a godly power-burning
33:12technique. But even eternal true gods could not comprehend a willpower technique. Only those who
33:18had mastered chaos laws could. The godly eye technique was created by his majesty, the godly king himself.
33:24Only those whose willpower reaches the level of true. Gods of void space can practice it. It's a lot
33:31like practicing hearts. The pages also held lessons for strengthening one's willpower. They told him to
33:36focus on his own heart. Examine it, understand it, and keep refining himself. The more he read,
33:42the more the next volume seemed to call to him. The godly eye kept shining, and the willpower shock
33:48inside it grew sharper. It had already passed the limit true god level. The gap between limit true
33:54gods and true gods of void space was enormous. Yet Luofeng still could not easily hold it back.
34:01Characters kept appearing on the ice, and this was still only the first volume. At last they stopped,
34:07and the whole first volume lay revealed on the ice mountain. It took so long just to show the first
34:12volume. Luofeng sighed. Anyone whose willpower isn't stronger than a limit. True god probably
34:19couldn't even read it. In the distance, another ice mountain began to glow, and characters spread
34:25across its surface. Oh, the second volume! Luofeng leaned forward and began to memorize them.
34:30Six volumes. That was the number that would decide whether Luofeng walked away with a technique or
34:37with an empty head. The characters came pouring out of the icy mountainside, and with one glance he
34:42could read them. The second volume was already complete, every line of it. He let out a breath
34:47of relief. Then he turned and saw another ice mountain lit up in the distance. Characters were
34:53flooding its surface, forming the third volume of the godly eye technique. They kept coming as if they
34:59would never stop. In the palace, the black mist leader stared at the screen. The third volume
35:04already? That was fast. Milky Way has the first three volumes, compared with every soldier who has
35:10tried this task. He's the best candidate so far. There are nine volumes in total. Let's see where
35:16he finishes. Did his majesty the godly king really place all nine volumes there? The towering leader asked,
35:22puzzled. The others shook their heads. Who knows? The best soldier before him only finished three.
35:29How many volumes did his majesty leave behind? Even the four leaders, all sealed great beings,
35:35could not claim all nine. A powerful group values its advanced techniques most, so they are handed out
35:41on merit. Those who contribute more receive more. The fourth volume, someone said. The willpower shock
35:48is fierce right now. Yet that soldier doesn't seem troubled by it. Maybe he can understand more than we
35:53expect. Luo Feng finished the fourth volume, and then the fifth had begun to rise from another
35:59mountain. He had feared he could not withstand the shock, but he had made it this far. The fifth volume.
36:05He looked toward the new mountain. Characters emerged in rows, and a third of the fifth volume had
36:12already appeared before he grew irritated. No. He glanced up at the godly eye. Its blurred golden light
36:19covered him completely, and the willpower shock was climbing. Such a strong shock, he said, feeling
36:25uneasy. It must be at the level of a senior true god of void space now. He could not stop
36:31staring at
36:31the characters. Some part of him refused to let his willpower crack before he finished that volume.
36:37Pressure. It pressed on his willpower like a mountain, heavier every moment, and it slowed his thinking.
36:43Quick, quick! Luo Feng urged himself. Another fifteen seconds passed. The whole fifth volume lay exposed
36:51on the ice, and a sixth began to rise on another peak. The sixth volume? He murmured. The characters
36:58were appearing faster and faster. Each volume arrived more quickly than the one before it.
37:03Ah! His face went pale under the horrifying mental shock. His body trembled, but his eyes stayed fixed on
37:10the distant ice as he memorized the sixth volume. Then his legs gave way, and he dropped to the
37:16ground. No! No! He knew he had reached his limit. He was not in the space of inheritance, where he
37:23could train his willpower in safety. If the shock grew any stronger, he would pass out. No! I can't fall.
37:31At least six volumes. I must finish six. Inside he was roaring. Every second stretched like an age,
37:37and the characters seemed to crawl when they should have raced. It was his only thought.
37:42Finish the first six volumes. He had to. He could feel his willpower crumbling, but he kept holding on.
37:48He stared into the distance and wondered why the characters did not all appear at once.
37:53At last, the final line of the sixth volume settled onto the ice. At the same moment,
37:58the seventh began to rise on another mountainside. Luo Feng had nothing left. He blacked out before he
38:04could read a single line of it. A pillar of light appeared and covered him, and he left the seventh
38:09floor. The four leaders held their breath. The characters had come faster and faster at the
38:15critical moment. With no gap between volumes, the longer Luo Feng endured, the more he could read.
38:21They knew it was hard for a lawmaster to keep improving once he reached his limit,
38:25and that was why the godly eye technique had quickened its pace.
38:29Yes. The fifth volume is done. The sixth was finished, too. Milky Way fell there.
38:34Luo Feng vanished from the screen. Sixth volume, someone said. He fell before the seventh was
38:41finished, and it's all blurred now. We can't see anything. No surprise he didn't finish the seventh.
38:46His Majesty the Godly King only gave us the first six. Milky Way is just a lawmaster,
38:52and he completed six. He's more impressive than we are. Let's take it back, said the towering leader.
38:58Agreed, said the black mist leader, and the screen went dark. Even the four leaders could not see
39:03past the seventh floor. They had no idea what waited on the eighth, or what secret His Majesty
39:09the Godly King had hidden on the ninth. We can only wait, said the black mist leader.
39:14If that soldier gets the inheritance, the sealing task will vanish on its own.
39:19There is only one task for lawmasters, and once someone succeeds, it will never appear again.
39:24Can he succeed, though? He added, worried. One soldier reached the eighth floor and still
39:29failed. When he came out, he couldn't remember anything about it. There must be a huge secret
39:34on the eighth floor, the silver armored, female leader said. Otherwise, His Majesty the Godly King
39:42would not have erased his memories. The leaders were loyal to the bone. They had been born in the world
39:48of Djinn, and with one order from His Majesty they would die without hesitation. Still, they were
39:54curious. They had spent years in Godly King Valley, and their duty was to find the peerless talent their
40:00godly king longed for. What was waiting on the eighth and ninth floors of Wuchi Tower? Around Luofeng,
40:06time and space twisted, and he found himself on the eighth floor. Even now, the seventh floor clung to
40:12his thoughts. Willpower is hard to break through. The seventh floor strengthened mine, and I should
40:19now stand at the level of a top-tier true god of void space, close to its limit. Six volumes
40:25of
40:25Godly Eye Technique. Duan Mia's first three volumes are the ones true gods can practice, and these six
40:32will keep me busy for a long time. Even Duan Dong. River had no Godly Eye Technique. This is the
40:39last
40:39challenge in Wuchi Tower. My final step to the top. He looked around. Far away, in the vast emptiness,
40:46a small landform floated. It was so tiny that it would take him only about a hundred steps to cross
40:52it. It was the only landform in all that endless space. He flew toward it like a streak of light.
40:57It looked close, yet the distance stretched on and on. Time and space seemed suppressed, so he could not
41:03teleport. A huge secret hides in this tower, and the sealed being behind it must be extraordinary.
41:10No one has succeeded across endless time. What will stand between me and that secret? He was curious
41:15and anxious at once. This last challenge had to be the hardest. It waited for him on that small island.
41:22He landed at last. The island was arid and desolate, but ancient characters covered the ground.
41:27Huh? He bent to read. The words were simple. The eighth level is the final step to the top.
41:34Observe the space around you and obtain one technique. If you succeed, you will reach the
41:38ninth level of Wuchi Tower. If you fail, your memories will be erased and you will leave Wuchi Tower.
41:44Once he finished reading, the characters faded. He lifted his head. Enormous characters had appeared
41:50in the space around him, each shining like a star, linked to the others to form a picture.
41:56Not a single comma separated them. They ran together so completely that he could
42:01not find where they began or where they ended.
