Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 591 - : Breakthrough the Tower (Part 2)

Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Breakthrough the Tower (Part 2)

Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm.

Ancient Sky-reaching Tower, fifth level.

A massive male lion, whining in pain, collapsed in front of Wang Chen, the flames burning on its body slowly extinguished, and its scar-covered body visibly disintegrated at a rapid pace.

A fiery red lion’s heart broke free from the carcass and started to float upwards slowly.

“Tower of Heavenly Climb fifth level challenge, successful!”

A grand yet mechanical voice echoed throughout this space filled with flames and lava.

Wang Chen gathered his spoils of war.

This seemingly effortless action seemed to have drained all his strength, as fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Do you wish to challenge the sixth level of the Tower of Heavenly Climb?”

Wang Chen ignored the voice that sounded once more and sat down to consume a Healing Pill and began to regulate his breathing.

The faint glow of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net on his right arm continued to infuse him with pure Spiritual Power, replenishing his Qi Sea Dantian that had been drained.

Despite the victory, Wang Chen looked rather wretched at this moment.

He was nearly completely naked, with his body of Undying Flesh cast in steel and iron, covered in long gashes.

These wounds, all inflicted by sharp claws, were so deep in places that bone could be seen, yet no blood flowed out thanks to the muscles being tightly shut.

Even though the Vajra Immortality body was powerful, and its defensive power reached the level of a Golden Core, this did not mean Wang Chen was invincible. When the damage he sustained grew stronger and more numerous, his defense would nevertheless be breached.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dragon Temple would have long since dominated the Mountain and Sea Realm!

At the Ancient Sky-reaching Tower’s first level, Wang Chen faced a puppet leopard.

He took it down with ease.

The second level, three puppet leopards.

The third level, nine!

After a tough fight, a new guardian puppet appeared on the fourth level.

The flame lion he had just defeated possessed a strength comparable to a top-tier Purple Mansion Realm Battle Cultivator, and it had special magical abilities. Its claws and teeth were so powerful that even the Undying Body could not fully withstand them.

Wang Chen had to fight with all his might to defeat it.

Now, he was completely drained, far from being ready to take on the next level’s challenge immediately.

In fact, Wang Chen was seriously considering whether to quit while he was ahead, give up continuing the challenge, and leave with the spoils he had already secured.

According to the rules of the Ancient Sky-reaching Tower, he had the time of an incense stick to recover or, in other words, to make a decision.

After the time of an incense stick, Wang Chen leaped up from the ground.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

“I want to challenge the sixth level!”

Thanks to the power of the pills and the Demon-Slaying Net, combined with the powerful recovery ability of the Undying Body, his wounds had almost disappeared within this short period, leaving only a few faint white marks.

His Mana was also mostly restored, making another level’s battle feasible.

If the Ancient Taoist Stele is the key to the tower, then the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net is undoubtedly Wang Chen’s cheat code to pass the levels.

Without this cheat, it would have been impossible for him to recover his Mana so quickly.

Most importantly, the Spiritual Power transformation of the Demon-Slaying Net had no side effects, which made it superior to any Pills.

Pills always carry a trace of poison; relying solely on Pills for recovery would eventually build up a toxic residue in the body, becoming a bomb that could explode at any critical moment!

No sooner had Wang Chen finished speaking than the surrounding space underwent another drastic transformation.

Having fought through five levels in a row, he was accustomed to such changes and stood in place waiting quietly.

As the flames dissipated and the lava receded into the earth, accompanied by thunderous noises, peaks rose up around Wang Chen, emerging from the ground.

A tender green sprout suddenly appeared at his feet, then swiftly spread out.

In the blink of an eye, the sprout grew into a large tree, and a dense, lush forest covered the rolling mountains.

The sound of water trickled nearby; a stream meandered past Wang Chen’s side.

Following the stream a hundred steps forward, a huge, moss-covered boulder lay across the path.

A branch poked out from the crevice of the rock, budding green leaves that quickly blossomed into beautiful flowers.

Flowers bloomed and withered, and three Vermilion Fruits formed.

The Vermilion Fruits grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning vivid and tantalizing, while emitting an intoxicating fragrance.

The surrounding space suddenly fell still, everything ceased to change.

It was as if time froze at that moment.

Wang Chen’s gaze sharpened.

Reverse Spirit Red Fruit!

This small tree that grew in the crevice produced the very fruit that Yin Sulan had mentioned—the Reverse Spirit Red Fruit!

Wang Chen had never seen a Reverse Spirit Red Fruit before, but his senior sister had described it in great detail. All the characteristics she mentioned matched perfectly, so it must be right.

But was this a coincidence, or…

Before Wang Chen could ponder further, a tall figure materialized from void to reality in front of the large rock.

The guardian boss of the sixth layer of the Ancient Sky-reaching Tower was not a Puppet Leopard.

It was a Cultivator!

He was nearly nine feet tall, with a brawny build and rippling muscles, fierce eyes, a broad nose, and a formidable visage, holding a Flourished-Axe in his hand.

Even though they were dozens of steps apart, Wang Chen could still feel a powerful aura rushing towards him.

But this muscular Cultivator gave him a peculiar feeling.

It was somewhat reminiscent of an Evil Wraith.

Heroic Spirit!

A piece of information suddenly appeared in Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

Coming from the Ancient Taoist Stele.

For centuries, the Secret Realm of Azure Drop Heaven had been randomly moving through the Mountain and Sea Realm, reappearing time and time again, drawing countless Cultivators to explore its depths.

A small portion of these fortune seekers gained opportunities within the Secret Realm, but many more perished within it.

The essence, Qi, Divine Soul, and bodies of these Cultivators all merged into Azure Drop Heaven, serving as nourishment for it.

Then, a few powerful Divine Souls became Heroic Spirits.

Afterwards, they were captured by the Tower of Heaven-reaching.

Imprisoned as Tower Spirits!

The Cultivator appearing before Wang Chen was one of them.

If Wang Chen wished to successfully clear the level, he had to defeat this high-tier Purple Mansion Realm Heroic Spirit!

However, the battle did not erupt immediately because the power that bound Wang Chen’s movements still existed, leaving him unable to move.

The muscular Cultivator blinked after materializing, his gaze shifting rapidly from bewilderment to calmness.

He looked down at the Flourished-Axe in his hands, then twisted his head to look at the huge rock behind him.

Finally, he set his gaze upon Wang Chen.

“So I have already died.”

The muscular Cultivator suddenly heaved a sigh, murmuring to himself, “It was time, it was fate!”

As he spoke, his expression turned ferocious, and a hint of inexplicable malice showed in his eyes as he watched Wang Chen.

“West Sea Sect’s lad, do you want the Reverse Spirit Red Fruit behind me?”

The muscular Cultivator chuckled sinisterly. “I died right here back then. Humans perish for wealth as birds die for food; it was a fitting end. Are you prepared for how you will die?”

Suddenly, he hoisted the Flourished-Axe in his hand high, its blade glinting with a menacing cold light.

As the words of the muscular Cultivator fell, the ground in front of Wang Chen suddenly swelled, and five weapons broke through the earth.

They hovered in front of him.

Saber, sword, spear, stick, axe!
