I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

"This Tower of Babel is indeed extraordinary."

Jiang Wang thought to himself, "This special power of law may be the secret of the Tower of Babel."

Just then, oil lamps suddenly lit up inside the tower, their faint light illuminating the surrounding environment.

Jiang Wang opened his eyes and found himself in a huge space. The walls around him were covered with ancient runes, and the ground was littered with broken weapons and bones. Clearly, a fierce battle had taken place here.

"Little Tu, welcome to the first level of the Tower of Babel." The aged voice came again. "The one who is undergoing the trial on the first level is an outer disciple of my One Heart Sect who perished a hundred years ago. His cultivation level is at the third level of the Law Saint Realm."

Defeat him, and you can enter the second level.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a skeleton on the ground suddenly came to life.

A faint gray mist swirled around the skeleton, containing a rich aura of death and the power of laws.

The skeleton slowly stood up, picked up a broken longsword from the side, and pounced on Jiang Wang.

This skeleton is that of the trial participant on the first level of the Tower of Babel.

Although it was just a skeleton, its strength was still not to be underestimated, enhanced by death energy and the power of laws. Its movements were swift, its swordsmanship was sharp, and it carried a murderous aura.

Jiang Wang looked at the approaching skeletons, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "A mere third-level Law Saint, worthy of being my trial subject?"

He didn't even lift a finger; he simply stomped his foot lightly, and the Daoist aura emanating from his physical body erupted, transforming into a powerful wave of energy that swept towards the skeleton.

"Crack!"

The skeleton shattered into countless fragments under the impact of the shockwave, falling to the ground and remaining motionless.

The tattered longsword also broke apart, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

The entire process took less than a breath.

Outside the tower, the inner disciples responsible for guarding the Tower of Babel stared wide-eyed at the sight, their faces filled with disbelief.

"How...how is this possible? The trial participant on the first level was defeated by him in a single blow?"

"This little maid's strength is terrifying! Her physical strength is so powerful!"

"As expected of a genius who appears once every 50 billion years, he truly lives up to his reputation!"

The disciples began to discuss among themselves, their faces filled with shock and admiration.

Many of them had challenged the first level of the Tower of Babel. Although they could defeat the trial participants, it usually took them a lot of effort. This was the first time they had seen someone kill someone with a single blow like Jiang Wang.

Inside the tower, Jiang Wang looked at the skeletal fragments on the ground and said indifferently, "Next floor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled, and a staircase slowly rose from the ground, leading to the second floor.

Jiang Wang stepped onto the stairs and headed towards the second floor.

Each level of the Tower of Babel is more difficult than the last, and the challengers become increasingly stronger with each subsequent level.

But he felt no fear; instead, his heart was filled with anticipation.

He wanted to see just how many challenges the nine levels of the Tower of Babel could bring him.

Upon arriving at the second level, the space here is even larger than the first level, the runes on the walls are more complex, and the spiritual energy is even more concentrated.

On the ground, there were no skeletons, only a huge stone platform, and on the platform stood a figure.

The figure was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with a handsome face and cold eyes. He was surrounded by a rich golden law power, and his cultivation level was around the fourth level of the Law Saint.

He was a trial participant on the second level of the Tower of Babel, and an inner disciple of the One Heart Sect who perished a hundred years ago.

"Little Tu?"

The trial participant opened his eyes, staring intently at Jiang Wang, his tone icy, "I've heard you're a genius who appears once every 50 billion years, with a perfected physical defense? Today, I'll see just how strong your physical body really is!"

"it is good!"

The trial participant let out a low shout, and the power of the metal element law around him surged. Instantly, a golden longsword condensed in his hand. The longsword shone with a dazzling golden light and carried a sharp sword aura as it thrust fiercely towards Jiang Wang.

This sword strike was extremely fast and its sword energy was fierce, even stronger than Tu Dachang's Azure Water Piercing Clouds.

Clearly, this trial participant is stronger than Tu Dachang.

Jiang Wang did not dodge, letting the golden sword pierce his chest.

He wanted to see if this attack based on the metal element could cause any damage to his physical body.

"Pfft!"

The golden longsword pierced Jiang Wang's chest with a crisp sound.

However, just like before, the golden sword still couldn't pierce Jiang Wang's body, not even leaving a trace of white mark.

Instead, the sword energy on the longsword was instantly neutralized by the Daoist aura emanating from Jiang Wang's physical body.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the trial participant, but it quickly turned into determination.

He strained, trying to thrust the sword a little further forward, but no matter how hard he tried, the sword wouldn't budge, as if it had struck an impenetrable barrier.

"impossible!"

The trial participant roared, and the power of the metal element law around him surged again, attempting to pierce Jiang Wang's body with even greater strength.

Jiang Wang shook his head, his tone dismissive: "Don't waste your energy."

Your attacks are ineffective against me.

Having said that, Jiang Wang gently gripped the blade of the golden longsword with his right hand.

With a slight exertion, the golden longsword shattered instantly with a "crack," turning into countless golden fragments that fell to the ground.

The trial participant's expression changed drastically, and he tried to back away, but Jiang Wang grabbed his collar.

Jiang Wang's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly holding him, making him unable to move an inch.

"What...what do you want to do?"

A flicker of fear crossed the trial participant's eyes, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

He could clearly feel that the power in Jiang Wang's hand was so strong that it filled him with despair. "It's nothing."

Jiang Wang said calmly, "I just want to tell you that in the face of absolute power, any power of laws is futile."

With that, he waved his hand lightly and threw the trial participant away.

The trial participant screamed and crashed heavily to the ground. The metal elemental power around him instantly dissipated, and his figure began to become illusory. Clearly, he had been defeated by Jiang Wang.

"Next floor."

Jiang Wang maintained his indifferent tone.

The ground shook again, and a staircase slowly rose, leading to the third floor.

Jiang Wang stepped onto the stairs, continuing his challenge towards higher floors.

His figure moved continuously through the Tower of Babel, layer after layer. The strength of the trial participants on each layer was constantly improving, from the fourth level of the Law Saint, to the fifth level, and then to the sixth level.

But no matter how strong the trial participants were, or how strange the power of the laws was, they could not cause Jiang Wang any harm.

Jiang Wang continued to rely on his fully developed physical defense to rampage through the enemy ranks, either killing them instantly or easily subduing them, completely dominating the fight without encountering any opponents.

Outside the Tower of Babel, the disciples guarding it were completely shocked by Jiang Wang's strength.

They watched in disbelief as Jiang Wang overcame each challenge with ease, defeating one trial after another.

"My God! He actually defeated the sixth-level trial participant! That's a sixth-level Law Saint!"

"This is terrifying! Tu Xiaonai's physical body is simply invincible!"

"I wonder if he can pass the ninth level and become the youngest disciple in the history of our One Heart Sect to pass the ninth level of the Tower of Babel!"

The disciples' discussions grew increasingly heated, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

They all wanted to witness the birth of a legend.

At this moment, Jiang Wang had already arrived at the seventh floor of the Tower of Babel.

The seventh trial participant was an inner disciple of the seventh level of the Law Saint realm. He cultivated the Wood element Law and was skilled in defense and recovery. His strength was more than one level higher than the previous trial participants.

“Little Tu, you are indeed quite capable to have made it to the seventh floor.”

The trial participant looked at Jiang Wang and said in a serious tone, "But the seventh level is your end! My wood-elemental laws excel in defense and recovery. No matter how strong your physical body is, you cannot defeat me!"

Jiang Wang said calmly, "Is that so? Then I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Jiang Wang rushed towards the trial participants.

He didn't use any supernatural powers or spells; he simply relied on his physical strength to throw a punch at the trial participant.

The fist was enveloped in a rich aura of physical cultivation, carrying a world-destroying force that pressed directly against the trial participant.

A smiling tiger! Although Tu Dachang's expression and eyes were flawless, Jiang Wang could clearly sense the murderous intent within him.

This guy, though smiling on the surface, had already prepared a deadly move in his heart.

“Little Milk, your request to borrow the teleportation array to go to challenge the Secret Realm Tower is of utmost importance to our One Heart Sect.”

"Perhaps you are very confident in your strength, but after all, you have only cultivated for a hundred million years after attaining the Dao. The sect leader is a little worried and sent me to test your strength and see if you have the ability to challenge the tower."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, let's begin. Show me your full strength. If you can last ten breaths against me without falling, then the One Heart Sect will allow you to challenge the Secret Realm Tower."

Village Chief Tu Ba immediately said, "Fifth Elder, the little lady is no match for you, so please go easy on her."

The Fifth Elder said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The two Qilin ascended into the sky, their bodies surrounded by spiritual light. Jiang Wang, transformed into Tu Xiaonai, was agile and lithe, his azure-gold scales gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Fine fragments of innate spiritual energy flowed along the edges of each scale, a phenomenon he had created by fusing his own cultivation with the essence of the Qilin. Tu Dachang, on the other hand, was composed and solemn, his gray robes fluttering without wind, surrounded by a faint mist of water vapor. The water vapor seemed thin, yet it was subtly connected to the laws of water in the world, forming an invisible aura that enveloped the surrounding space.

The battle has begun!

Given Tu Xiaonai's combative nature, Jiang Wang made the first move.

"Roar!"

Its giant mouth opened wide, and it roared angrily at the Fifth Elder from afar.

This roar was no ordinary beast roar, but a killing move condensed by Jiang Wang by fusing the Qilin Roar Technique with his own original power after attaining enlightenment. The sound carried unparalleled energy, and wherever the sound waves reached, the space trembled incessantly, rippling outwards in circles visible to the naked eye, like the surface of a lake after a boulder has been thrown in.

In the village below, many Qilin with low cultivation levels suddenly felt dizzy and their blood surged. Many Qilin with strength below the Golden Immortal level collapsed to the ground, their limbs twitching, unable to even groan. Only a few Qilin who had reached the Golden Immortal level managed to steady themselves, their faces pale as they looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with horror.

Fifth Elder Tu Dachang still wore a smile, but there was a hint of solemnity in that smile. He said calmly, "The Qilin's roar is quite powerful!"

"Unfortunately, it's useless to me!"

Before he finished speaking, ripples appeared in front of him, and a thin water shield had formed without his noticing.

That water shield was not formed from ordinary water, but rather from the water of the Milky Way drawn by Tu Dachang with his own cultivation, and then condensed with the laws of water. The shield surface was as clear as a mirror, with faint starry river patterns flowing around it. It seemed extremely fragile, but in fact it contained endless gentle strength, capable of deflecting the power of all things.

The sound waves struck the water shield, creating ripples that spread like waves. The immense energy contained in the sound waves was gradually dissolved as the ripples spread, eventually dissipating into nothingness, leaving not even a ripple on the water shield.

The Fifth Elder looked at Tu Xiaonai with a hint of contempt in his voice: "You still have a long way to go."

Tu Xiaonai sneered, a hint of arrogance flashing in her cyan-gold beast eyes, her tone haughty: "What are you so arrogant about? That was just an appetizer. Take this, Scale Armor Strike!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two cyan-gold scales on his back suddenly lit up, and the spiritual energy around him frantically converged towards the two scales. The scales shone with a dazzling spiritual light, and then broke free from his body one after the other, flying out like two shooting stars. Their speed was extremely fast, leaving two faint afterimages in the air. They arrived in front of the Fifth Elder's water shield almost instantly.

The first scale struck the water shield and exploded with a "boom," unleashing a blinding burst of light, like tens of thousands of suns shining simultaneously, eclipsing the world. The clouds above were instantly evaporated, and the Qilin Village below was also enveloped in the intense light. Many Qilin instinctively closed their eyes, but even so, their eyelids could feel a burning pain.

Fifth Elder Tu Dachang couldn't help but narrow his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracting. At the same time, his expression changed drastically, and his cultivation level instantly became somewhat disordered.

He could clearly sense that the water shield he had painstakingly crafted was torn apart and disintegrated instantly by the power of the exploding scales, just like paper. The violent energy pierced through the water shield and rushed towards him with the power to incinerate everything.

"What kind of attack is this? Why are its scales exploding?"

Tu Dachang was shocked and his face was filled with disbelief.

"My water shield can block attacks from top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Even a full-force attack from an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal might not be able to break through my water shield. Now it has been shattered by a small scale. How could the explosion of this scale have such great power?"

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he even panicked a little. He originally thought that Tu Xiaonai was just a junior who had not been cultivating for long. Even if she was talented, her strength was far inferior to his own. But this scale armor explosion was beyond his comprehension.

The Fifth Elder was somewhat bewildered, completely failing to understand the principle behind the scales exploding. (End of Chapter)
