Chapter 25: Defeating an enemy across one realm, becoming the number one person below the Martial Gr
Inside the Illusionary Demon Tower.
As soon as Li Wudao entered, he felt a tightness all over his body and was teleported to a separate, enclosed space.
Immediately afterwards, a voice filled with the vicissitudes of life rang out.
"True disciple 'Li Wudao', identity check passed. If you are outmatched in battle, you may shout 'I surrender'..."
"Shall we take on the challenge now?"
As is customary, the tower spirit read out the rules.
"challenge."
Li Wudao nodded.
A moment later, ripples spread through the space.
A hundred paces away opposite it, a pulsating black shadow could be faintly seen.
The shadow rapidly thickened, like a large black cloud, gradually transforming into the shape of a jackal, and solidifying at a visible speed.
between breaths,
The "jackal" then appeared completely before Li Wudao, baring its teeth and pouncing fiercely.
Li Wudao remained calm and casually threw a punch.
When he first merged with the Pure Yang Holy Body, he was already burdened with immense strength; a single punch from him could weigh as much as 30,000 jin.
Now, with his breakthrough in cultivation, a single punch can weigh at least 70,000 to 80,000 jin, which is terrifying.
Among those in the same realm, their physical strength is virtually unmatched.
The wolf in front of him wasn't even a demonic beast; it was at most an ordinary ferocious beast, equivalent to a human martial artist in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm, posing no threat to him whatsoever.
"Click——"
The fist smashed through the jackal's skull in an instant, the shadow was shattered and disappeared without a trace.
Li Wudao was somewhat surprised; the demonic beasts conjured by the formation felt quite realistic in terms of impact.
In that instant, he seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
"Defeat the Shadow Wolf in a single breath."
"Do you want to continue the challenge?"
The tower spirit's voice rang out.
"Yes."
As Li Wudao finished speaking.
He felt a flash before his eyes, as if he had entered a different space, which was even more spacious.
The second level was a black bear, which was instantly killed by Li Wudao with a single punch as soon as it showed its head.
"Defeated the Violent Bear in a single breath..."
The third level was no longer filled with ferocious beasts, but with a huge tiger demon, a whole size larger than an ordinary tiger, creating a very striking scene.
unfortunately,
Equivalent to a late-stage Body Tempering Realm Spotted Scale Tiger, it too could not survive a single breath, being shattered by a single punch.
Soon, Li Wudao passed through all seven levels in a single breath, sweeping through everything with ease and without any pressure.
That's right, this seventh floor is exactly the final score of Qiu Zishi and Wang Zhao.
If the two people waiting outside the tower at that time had witnessed it with their own eyes, they would probably have been unable to sleep all night and their Dao hearts would have shattered.
They fought with all their might and struggled for a long time before finally winning, only to be instantly killed by Li Wudao with a single punch.
That's absolutely insane!
At this moment, Li Wudao calmly arrived at the eighth floor.
This time, he used only a little force and killed a giant centipede comparable to the late stage of the Blood Transformation Realm, turning it directly into a cloud of black mist.
In reality, this centipede would probably be turned into a meat patty in an instant.
"As expected of the Holy Body, it's too strong... Within the Blood Transfer Realm, it should be difficult to find an opponent."
After several trials, Li Wudao gained some understanding of his own strength.
The power of the Pure Yang Holy Body somewhat exceeded his expectations.
With his current physical strength, even those at the Blood Transformation Realm are like chicks in front of him, easily crushed.
"Next floor."
Li Wudao had lost interest in the Blood Transformation Realm and found it utterly boring.
"The next floor..."
He continued the challenge, like an emotionless challenge machine, clearing all levels in a single breath.
Finally, we arrived at the eleventh floor.
The strength of the monsters on this level has undergone a significant qualitative change.
It is a third-tier demonic beast, equivalent to a True Essence Realm martial artist.
Li Wudao threw another punch, this time without killing, but sending the opponent flying thirty meters away.
It was a three-eyed male lion, seven or eight meters long, with a robust physique. After being knocked to the ground, it struggled and got up again.
He was somewhat surprised. He had used seven-tenths of his strength in that punch, which was at least 40,000 to 50,000 jin of force, yet it hadn't killed him.
As expected, the defense of a third-tier demon beast is extraordinary.
"Try taking another punch from me!"
Li Wudao clenched his fist, strode forward, and unleashed his second punch.
This time, he used all his strength.
"Ah-"
The fist struck like thunder, its force heavy and fierce, instantly hitting the demonic lion's head, unleashing its domineering power.
next moment,
The three-eyed lion demon was pulverized, turning into black smoke and disappearing without a trace.
"Hmph, my punch has the force of 60,000 to 70,000 jin, what can you possibly use to withstand it..."
Li Wudao's lips curled up slightly.
Even at the early stage of the True Essence Realm, this is nothing more than this.
He didn't stop there; he continued to take on the challenge.
The twelfth level corresponds to the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm.
Li Wudao used fifteen punches and thirty-five breaths to finish the job.
"My body is starting to feel weak..."
On the thirteenth floor, he stopped using his fists and took out the Dragon Abyss Sword.
Starting from the next level, the physical body subtly reaches a bottleneck, and even if one can win, it will be a waste of time.
"It's a good opportunity to try out the sword technique I've been practicing recently."
Holding a long sword, Li Wudao's demeanor instantly changed, transforming him into a cold-faced monarch, his entire body exuding a chilling aura.
"Keng!"
Light and shadow swept across.
With a single sword strike, the ten-meter-long python split in two and vanished in an instant.
"Hiss, is this sword technique really that powerful? Or is the Dragon Abyss Sword just too sharp?"
Li Wudao gasped, caught off guard.
He was very curious about the grade of the "Gengjin Sword Manual" that the old man had given him.
Something feels off; it can't be as simple as a Heavenly Rank Sword Technique.
Li Wudao didn't linger for long before choosing to continue the challenge.
He felt he still had energy to spare and was eager to know where his limits lay.
The fifteenth level, the perfected True Essence Realm.
This is a three-tailed demon fox, which is a whole realm higher than Li Wudao.
Starting from this level, he vaguely felt a pressure, and his aura surged significantly compared to the previous level.
Most importantly, this fox spirit is ghostly and elusive, making it very difficult to hit.
Fortunately, he had mastered the sword technique to a high level and managed to kill the enemy after twelve sword strikes.
"You defeated Shadowmoon Fox in seventy-five breaths. Shall you continue the challenge?"
The tower spirit's voice rang out.
Li Wudao did not continue the challenge and chose to leave.
The sixteenth level is home to a Martial Grandmaster-level demonic beast, whose strength is earth-shattering and cannot be challenged by a True Essence Realm cultivator.
Although he still possesses the Pure Yang Sword Intent, which could boost his combat power by several degrees, it is no longer necessary.
Because he has already surpassed Jiang Churan's score.
Moreover, he already had a general understanding of his current strength, which could be described as invincible in the True Essence Realm.
Reaching the peak of the Blood Removal Realm, he crossed a major realm and defeated a demon beast equivalent to the Perfected True Essence Realm.
He can be considered the number one person below the Martial Grandmaster realm!
Li Wudao was fairly satisfied with his performance; at least he hadn't lost to the young empress.
However, he also knew that to a large extent, it was because he had obtained the Pure Yang Holy Body.
Otherwise, he would probably have a hard time surpassing Jiang Churan.
If the other party also awakens the ancient Azure Phoenix bloodline, the outcome is truly unpredictable.
Outside the Illusionary Demon Tower.
Li Wudao walked out calmly, a smile playing on his lips.
Upon seeing them, Qiu Zishi and Wang Zhao quickly approached.
"Brother Li, it's only been less than a quarter of an hour, how come you're out so quickly?"
The two looked at Li Wudao with surprise, his neat robes and calm demeanor giving rise to bad thoughts.
"Brother Li, you...you didn't give up halfway through, did you?"
"I wonder which level Brother Li has passed? Is there... the fifth level?"
After some hesitation, both of them shared the same thought.
It's unlikely they could have passed the sixth level in such a short time; they probably felt they were outmatched and gave up.
Keep in mind that it took them a full quarter of an hour to get through the sixth level, and they were covered in dust and dirt, achieving a hard-won victory.
Even if Li Wudao is highly talented, it must have taken a lot of effort for him to pass through this level. It's impossible for him to be completely spotless.
"Want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Seeing their strange expressions, Li Wudao couldn't help but tease them.
"Of course it's the truth."
Qiuzi said.
Li Wudao smiled faintly, "Not many, only fifteen floors, so-so."
"How many? Fifteen floors?! Brother Li, that's not funny at all..."
Wang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then his lips twitched.
"I don't believe that Brother Li could pass the seventh floor in such a short time, let alone the fifteenth floor. It's truly astonishing."
Akiko shook her head and smiled wryly, clearly taking it as a joke.
It should be noted that each level of the Illusionary Demon Tower corresponds to a small realm of martial arts.
The fifteenth level is equivalent to the peak of the True Essence Realm. If Li Wudao can defeat it in such a short time, he would need to have combat power comparable to the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
At this age, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!
He had never even heard of it; it was utterly unbelievable.
"See, you don't believe me when I tell the truth."
Li Wudao shrugged, his smile widening.
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and walked towards the Xuan Tian Ranking.
He had a vague sense of anticipation, wondering if his performance would make the list and what his ranking would be.
