AWB Chapter 261 Ascending the Tower
Chapter 261 Ascending the Tower
Shen Yao's right foot was severed, and her light blue brocade shoes were carelessly tossed aside.
Her entire right leg was almost shaved down to the bone, and blood flowed onto the bone and onto the floor beneath her. The blood kept flowing, and the floor and her clothes were never dry.
"Enough..." The moment the Frost Sword pierced the stone bead, Shen Yao felt her spiritual power recover somewhat. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and she made a sound through gritted teeth before roaring, "I said... enough!"
Her spiritual energy rapidly recovered, and she used her intact left leg to desperately break free of her restraints. She forcefully kicked the fake 'Jiang Ming' who was throwing knives at her right leg, and used her spiritual energy to soar into the air. She quickly cast a wind spirit shield to protect herself.
She drew her Ice Soul Sword, looked down at her fellow disciples and elders, and her anger surged: "If I want revenge, it is voluntary, out of gratitude and righteousness, not because I am forced to take revenge by my own mental block!"
"Illusory evil spirits, all of you, get out!"
A surge of spiritual energy flowed into the Ice Soul Sword, slashing in all directions. In an instant, the entire Trial Tower shook violently, the illusion within the tower shattered, and all the phantoms vanished.
Before she could use healing magic to repair her leg injury, a golden illusion door appeared in the shaking room. A blinding white light emanated from the illusion door, rushing straight towards Shen Yao and pulling her into it.
……
"The tower has been upgraded! The tower has been upgraded!"
As Huo Die confronted the Demon Lord of the Long family, the Long family's Trial Tower suddenly shook violently, and white light shot up from the top of the tower. The light was dazzling and the light waves were strong, forcing the Demon Lord on the barrier at the top of the tower to retreat ten feet away.
The Trial Tower began to rise from the top of the seventh floor, creating a new tower floor that appeared out of thin air between the seventh floor and the top.
The Long family cultivators present were all extremely excited: "The tower has been upgraded! The tower has actually been upgraded!"
Long Jiajia strained with all her might; she was more excited than any of the other cultivators. The Trial Tower had actually been upgraded! Shen Yao was truly amazing! The Long family's Trial Tower hadn't been upgraded in twenty thousand years!
"Hahahaha..." The Dragon Clan Demon Lord's laughter echoed through the sky: "Our Dragon Clan's Trial Tower has finally been upgraded! Hahahaha..."
Cheers erupted one after another, but Huo Die, Feng Yu, and Tu Xiaoxiao were not happy at all.
Feng Yu, in particular, looked extremely grave. His seal was throbbing with pain, indicating that Yan Zhou must be seriously injured.
Now that an eighth level has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the wild goose boat may face even greater danger...
If the tower spirit hadn't been destroyed, Yanzhou would never have been able to leave. He would have cleaved the trial tower in two right now. What does it matter to him whether the Long family's trial tower is upgraded or not?
As the Trial Tower gradually stabilized, sealed stone windows appeared on all four sides of the eighth floor, and white light shone from inside the windows.
Long Jiajia spoke up to reassure them: "Immortal Huo, Feng Yu, Second Brother Tu, please be patient. Sister Shen has already reached the eighth floor."
The Demon Lord of the Dragon Clan stroked his beard and asked, "My dear granddaughter, is the Sister Shen you mentioned the Shen Yao you reported to be attempting the tower?"
In front of her elders, Long Jiajia behaved very obediently: "Replying to Third Grandfather, it is indeed Sister Shen Yao."
"Good! Good!" The Demon Lord of the Long family was extremely pleased: "My dear granddaughter, this Sister Shen you've chosen is excellent, excellent, hahahahaha..."
Huo Die scoffed disdainfully, "Heh, my daughter, what are you so happy about?"
The Dragon Clan Demon Lord glanced at Huo Die's expression, flew to his side, stroked his beard, and laughed, "Hahaha, we're all family. Huo Immortal Emperor's daughter is my daughter, hahahaha..."
Long Jiajia was displeased: "Third Grandfather, that's a generational difference. Shen Yao is my sworn sister."
The Dragon Clan Demon Lord smiled, his eyes narrowing: "Each calls their own name, hahaha, each calls their own name."
……
The white light was extremely dazzling. After being pulled into the golden illusionary gate by the white light, Shen Yao was swept up the stairs and into a narrow space.
After the white light dissipated, Shen Yao, who was lying on the stone slab, opened her eyes and found a black scroll floating in the air above.
The scroll glowed with golden light and looked very familiar, just like the black scroll she had seen in the fourth chamber of the Dihe Secret Realm underground palace.
The scroll in the underground palace was just an illusion; could this be the real one?
What is the connection between the Dragon Family Trial Tower and the secret realm?
Since it's connected to the secret realm and she's already cleared the seventh level, this should be a reward for clearing the level, something she deserves.
She released her spiritual sense and flew onto the scroll to investigate. When her spiritual sense touched the scroll, the scroll shone with golden light, resonating with her spiritual sense. The golden light transformed into five golden characters, which flew into the scroll.
Shen Yao was overjoyed; the five golden characters were indeed: Thirteen Forms of Sword Intent!
It's what the God-Slaying Blade needs: the Thirteen Forms of Blade Intent!
"Hahahaha... It's the 'Thirteen Forms of Sword Intent'... Hahahaha..." Low, hoarse laughter echoed in the narrow space, reverberating in Shen Yao's ears.
Pain was suppressed by pleasure. She lay on the stone slab, relaxed and laughing. It was worth it to have her right leg cut to the bone. The Dragon Family Trial Tower was not a wasted trip!
It's just a leg, it'll grow back anyway, this trip was a huge success!
The healing spell was applied to the leg to stop the bleeding, but the flesh in the leg and foot couldn't be healed; it would probably take some time for them to grow back.
She straightened up and looked at it. Ugh... disgusted... bones still attached, blood dripping everywhere, it was quite terrifying.
Those who created the illusionary tower layers are not only brain-dead, but also somewhat perverted.
I wonder if going out will scare my dad.
Probably not, after all, Dad has seen it all.
Perhaps, her father could even concoct a divine muscle-regenerating pill or something, and heal her in just one day.
She raised her hand and released her spiritual power onto the scroll. The scroll automatically rolled up and flew into her hand. The God-Slaying Blade sensed this and a buzzing sound came from its storage ring. The "Thirteen Forms of Blade Intent" responded to the God-Slaying Blade's summons and automatically entered the storage ring.
In the narrow space, a passage appeared out of thin air. The passage was filled with white light, and above it appeared two words: 'Exit'.
Shen Yao chuckled. "Quite thoughtful."
She used the Ice Soul Sword to stand up, using it as her legs, and limped into the passage.
The passage looked flat, but it was steep and uneven, making it difficult to walk. After all that, the bleeding from the groin of his right leg, which had stopped, started to seep out again.
Before entering the passage, the clothes that had been cleaned with a cleansing spell were now covered in bloodstains.
Shen Yao didn't know how long the passage would take, and she was too lazy to clean it up anymore. It would be good to go out and scare Long Jiajia, to let Long Jiajia see how resilient she was, so that she would feel more at ease handing over the Spirit Awakening Seal to her.
My right leg still has bone, but it feels empty.
The further you go into the passage, the clearer your mind becomes, and the more pronounced the pain becomes.
How come my leg is just bone and a few tendons left, and it's still in excruciating pain?
However, compared to the pain of being whipped by her father with divine power, she felt that this kind of pain was bearable.
The divine power surged through my body, causing excruciating pain that was far beyond anything I could feel in my soul.
Father was really angry that day. Luckily, she bought the brothel and converted it into a billiards room. And luckily, she didn't tell anyone. The stakes were her and Father's freedom for five hundred years...
Otherwise, she felt that her father would really beat her to death.
My father, who doesn't get angry easily, is truly terrifying when he does.
To ease the pain, Shen Yao started having wild thoughts: 'Long Jiajia didn't betray me, did she?'
'I wonder how much time has passed outside, and whether Yunhe has already returned to the Immortal Clan...'
He must hate me to death…
'After he goes back, will he hold a marriage contest like in the illusion...?'
'Wouldn't he really go so far as to marry a bunch of women? Wouldn't the Feng family head beat him to death...?'
'I'm in the Trial Tower. Dad probably can't figure out where I am. He must be regretting hitting me after not being able to find me for so long.'
'Hehe, scared him to death! Let's see if he dares to hit me again.'
'Haha, just thinking about how scared Dad looked makes me laugh, and my legs don't hurt as much anymore…'
