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

Hei Sha sneered, his tone icy: "Hold back? If you want the World-Breaking Blade, you'll have to defeat me, even kill me! You, a nobody from a small world, dare to dream of obtaining the World-Breaking Blade? You're just delusional!"

As he spoke, Hei Sha suddenly raised the Boundary-Breaking Blade in his hand. The chaotic power and destructive power on the Boundary-Breaking Blade surged instantly, and he slashed fiercely at Jiang Wang.

The Boundary-Breaking Blade was extremely fast and powerful. Wherever it passed, tiny cracks appeared in the space. Its momentum was astonishing, clearly indicating that the power of the Boundary-Breaking Blade had been unleashed.

Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless in the slightest. He flashed away and instantly dodged Hei Sha's attack.

At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed at Hei Sha's wrist with astonishing speed, his hand containing a vast amount of chaotic power.

Hei Sha's expression changed. He hadn't expected Jiang Wang to be so fast. He hurriedly tried to retract the World-Breaking Blade, but it was too late.

Jiang Wang grabbed his wrist and with a gentle pull, Hei Sha felt a tremendous force coming from him, and his wrist was in excruciating pain. He almost dropped the Boundary-Breaking Blade.

Hei Sha was shocked and roared at Jiang Wang, "Your physical body has actually reached the level of a Chaos Treasure? How is this possible? How can a little guy from a small world have such a powerful physical body?"

Jiang Wang smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Lord Heisha, you flatter me. My physical body has indeed reached the level of a Chaos Treasure."

As he spoke, Jiang Wang exerted a little force, and Hei Sha's wrist was squeezed so hard that it made a "crack" sound. Hei Sha's face turned pale with pain, and he was covered in cold sweat. The Breaking Boundary Blade fell to the ground with a "clang".

"what!"

Hei Sha let out a miserable scream, trying to break free from Jiang Wang's grasp, but he couldn't break free at all. He could only plead with Jiang Wang, "I lost, I admit defeat, please let me go. Here, take the Breaking Boundary Blade, and I'll let you pass the fourth level, okay?"

Looking at Hei Sha's pleading expression, Jiang Wang felt no pity. He released Hei Sha's wrist and said in a flat tone, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Why did you have to suffer like this?"

Jiang Wang bent down and picked up the Boundary-Breaking Blade from the ground.

The Boundary-Breaking Blade felt icy cold to the touch, containing immense chaotic and destructive power. Its blade was jet black, covered with densely packed runes, which emanated a terrifying aura as they flowed.

Feeling the power of the Boundary-Breaking Blade, Jiang Wang was overjoyed: "What a powerful Boundary-Breaking Blade! It truly is a Chaos Spiritual Treasure. With this Boundary-Breaking Blade, my strength has increased considerably!"

Just then, that cold voice rang out again: "Challenger Tu Xiaonai, defeated the guardian of the fourth level of the Tower of Babel, Hei Sha, and successfully passed the fourth level. Rewards: 10000 Chaos Qi, 5 Chaos Fragments, 3 Chaos Treasure Materials, Chaos Spiritual Treasure Realm-Breaking Blade, slight increase in physical strength, and unlocked access to the fifth level."

Challengers are reminded that the guardian of the fifth level is extremely powerful, having reached the mid-stage of the Chaos Taiyi realm, and possesses two Chaos Spiritual Treasures. Challengers are advised to make thorough preparations before attempting the fifth level.

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely dense chaotic energy surged into Jiang Wang's body. At the same time, five chaotic fragments and three chaotic treasures appeared in Jiang Wang's hands.

Jiang Wang carefully stored away the Chaos Fragments and Chaos Treasures, then circulated his cultivation technique to refine the Chaos Qi that had surged into his body, further enhancing his physical strength.

Hei Sha lay on the ground, rubbing his wrist, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with fear and resentment. He weakly said to Jiang Wang, "You...you're too strong...I'm no match for you at all...you...you can pass the fourth level..."

Jiang Wang glanced at Hei Sha, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the entrance of the fifth floor.

The entrance to the fifth floor is a golden portal, radiating an extremely rich chaotic power and a trace of sacred aura. Golden runes are engraved on the portal, and as the runes flow, they exude a boundless power.

Just as they reached the entrance to the fifth level, footsteps sounded behind them. Then, Qing Qilin's voice rang out, filled with shock and disbelief: "You...you've already passed the fourth level? And you even got the Boundary-Breaking Blade? How is this possible? We only just passed the third level, how could you be so fast?"

Jiang Wang turned around and saw the nine-headed Qilin standing there in shock, its eyes filled with disbelief. The red Qilin, in particular, looked at the Boundary-Breaking Blade in Jiang Wang's hand with a hint of greed in its eyes.

Jiang Wang smiled and said calmly, "It was just luck. I was able to defeat him and obtain the Boundary-Breaking Blade thanks to Lord Hei Sha's mercy."

"My esteemed Qilin masters, you're quite fast! You've already passed the third level so quickly."

The Azure Qilin walked up to Jiang Wang, its gaze falling on the Boundary-Breaking Blade in Jiang Wang's hand, a hint of envy in its eyes: "The Boundary-Breaking Blade is indeed a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, extremely powerful."

"Little Tu, you're so lucky! You actually managed to get your hands on this Chaos Treasure."

The Crimson Qilin stepped forward, its eyes filled with greed, and its tone was somewhat probing: "Little Tu, you're from a small world, so having a Chaos Treasure like the World-Breaking Blade is useless to you. Why don't you hand over the World-Breaking Blade to me, and I'll give you some benefits, how about it?"

Jiang Wang's eyes turned cold, and he said in a flat tone, "Lord Qilin, you can't just say things like that."

This Boundary-Breaking Blade was obtained through my own strength after defeating Lord Black Fiend; how could I possibly hand it over to you? As for any benefits, I have no need for them, so please, Lord Qilin, do not indulge in wishful thinking.”

The Crimson Qilin's face darkened, and his tone carried a hint of threat: "Little Tu, don't push your luck! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have a strong body and have obtained the Boundary-Breaking Blade? Even if you have a strong body, the nine of us working together are no match for you! If you know what's good for you, hand over the Boundary-Breaking Blade, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Jiang Wang sneered, his tone icy: "You're impolite? I'd like to see how you'll treat me impolitely! I warn you, don't try to break the Boundary Blade, or I'll wipe you all out and leave you here on this fourth level forever!"

The Azure Qilin frowned, pulled back the Crimson Qilin, and said in a serious tone, "Crimson Qilin, don't be impulsive! Tu Xiaonai is very strong. Her physical body has reached the level of a Chaos Treasure, and she has also obtained the Boundary-Breaking Blade. Even if the nine of us join forces, we may not be a match for her. Don't cause trouble for yourselves."

The Crimson Qilin said with dissatisfaction, "Brother, this is the Boundary-Breaking Blade, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure! Our Qilin Clan doesn't have many Chaos Spiritual Treasures. If we could get the Boundary-Breaking Blade, our Qilin Clan's strength would increase significantly! It's such a pity to let him go like this!"

The Azure Qilin shook its head, its tone indifferent: "It's a pity but it's useless. We are no match for him. Forcibly taking it will only result in more losses than gains."

Moreover, the Father is still outside. If we cause trouble here and the Father finds out, he will surely punish us.

The Crimson Qilin gritted its teeth, its eyes filled with resentment, but it knew the Azure Qilin was right. It could only glare at Jiang Wang fiercely, its tone icy: "Little Tu, you're something else! Let's go!" The Azure Qilin glanced at Jiang Wang, its tone indifferent: "Little Tu, I'm sorry, the Crimson Qilin was too impulsive. I hope you don't mind."

Let's try the fourth level first, and then we'll go find you on the fifth level after we've passed the fourth level.

I hope you'll take good care of me then.

Jiang Wang smiled and said calmly, "It's alright. As long as you don't try to break the Boundary Blade, we can still get along peacefully."

Good luck, and I hope you get through to the fourth level soon.

The Azure Qilin nodded and, leading the other eight Qilins, headed towards the guardian of the fourth level, Black Fiend.

Jiang Wang watched their retreating figures, secretly sneering, "Trying to break the Boundary Blade? You dare to mess with me? Once you pass the fourth level and reach the fifth, if you still dare to plot against me, I'll deal with you all!"

Jiang Wang withdrew his gaze and looked at the entrance to the fifth level, his eyes hardening: "The fifth level is guarded by a mid-stage Chaos Taiyi cultivator, and there are two Chaos Spiritual Treasures. Although it is dangerous, I must pass through, obtain those two Chaos Spiritual Treasures, and improve my strength!"

Jiang Wang took a deep breath, reached out, and gently pressed his hand on the entrance to the fifth floor.

The moment his palm touched the entrance, the golden runes on the entrance lit up instantly, and a cold voice rang in his ears: "Challenger Tu Xiaonai has successfully passed the fourth level and unlocked access to the fifth level. You are now allowed to enter the fifth level of the Tower of Babel."

Challengers are reminded that the guardian of the fifth level is at the mid-stage of the Chaos Taiyi realm and possesses the Chaos Spiritual Treasures 'World-Suppressing Shield' and 'World-Destroying Sword'. Challengers are advised to proceed with caution.

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden portal slowly opened, and a chaotic aura even more concentrated than that of the fourth level surged out from within. At the same time, an extremely strong sense of oppression and danger rushed over, making Jiang Wang feel a sense of solemnity.

Jiang Wang gripped the Boundary-Breaking Blade tightly, took a deep breath, and cautiously stepped into the fifth level.

As soon as I entered the fifth floor, the door slowly closed, and a loud "boom" came from behind, completely isolating me from everything outside.

The fifth floor was even smaller than the fourth floor. The ground was covered with golden bloodstains, and the golden runes on the walls shimmered with dazzling light, radiating a powerful divine and chaotic force. The entire space appeared extremely majestic and terrifying.

Just then, a majestic voice came from the darkness, carrying a powerful aura: "Challenger, since you dare to enter the fifth level, it means you have some ability."

However, if you want to pass the fifth level and obtain the World-Suppressing Shield and the World-Destroying Sword from me, you must defeat me!

The figure was tall and wore a suit of golden armor covered with golden runes, radiating a powerful divine and chaotic energy. He wore a golden mask, revealing only a pair of majestic eyes. He held a golden shield and a golden longsword in his hands. The intensity of his aura had reached the mid-stage of the Chaos Taiyi realm, much stronger than the Black Fiend of the fourth level.

"I am the guardian of the fifth level, Jin Ling!"

The gatekeeper spoke

Jiang Wang stood with his hands on his hips, his brows furrowed deeply, his tone filled with disbelief, even his breathing still rapid from when he saw the Chaos Treasure. He growled at the system voice in his mind, "What did you say? Even after the discount, it's still 2700 billion? Why don't you just rob someone?"

The system's voice remained its usual flat, mechanical tone, responding slowly and deliberately, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact: "[Host, please be mindful of your wording. This system is a legitimate auxiliary system, not a robber.]"

The price for refining is determined based on a comprehensive assessment of the treasure's grade, potential, and the difficulty of refining; it is not arbitrarily set.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang became even more furious. Pointing at the towering, cloud-piercing secret realm tower before him, its body shrouded in chaotic aura, his tone was tinged with grievance and anger, and his voice rose several decibels: "Arbitrary pricing? I think you're just raising prices on the spot! How many experience points does refining a chaotic spiritual treasure cost? 2 million! Just 2 million! This tower is indeed a chaotic supreme treasure, but it's only one level higher than a chaotic spiritual treasure, yet the price for refining it has increased more than a thousand times. Why is it so expensive?"

[Host, the difference between a Chaos Spiritual Treasure and a Chaos Supreme Treasure may seem to be only one level, but in reality, they are worlds apart.]

The system's voice remained calm, unaffected by Jiang Wang's emotions, and patiently explained, "While Chaotic Treasures can draw upon the power of chaos, they cannot fully control the laws of chaos. Therefore, they are relatively easy to refine, and the required experience points are naturally not high."

This secret realm tower was forged by the Qilin Ancestor of the Auspicious Realm over countless years, using his own primordial essence and blood combined with the core of chaos. It can not only bear the power of millions of saints, but also create its own independent space to evolve the laws of chaos. Refining it requires not only suppressing the chaotic origin within the tower, but also aligning it with one's own path of cultivation. The difficulty far exceeds that of a chaotic spiritual treasure by more than a thousand times, and its price naturally increases accordingly.

Jiang Wang frowned, his fingers unconsciously rubbing his cuffs. His tone softened slightly, but it was still tinged with dissatisfaction: "Even if it's difficult, it shouldn't be this expensive, right? 270 billion experience points, do you know what that means? That many experience points are enough for me to complete the eighth stage of the Nine Revolutions Spirit Treasure Record three times, and I might even have a lot left over to try and break through to the ninth stage!"

[The host is absolutely right; 2700 billion experience points is indeed an astronomical figure.]

The system's voice seemed to soften slightly, "But the host must also understand that the value of the Secret Realm Tower goes far beyond this."

As a supreme treasure of chaos, it can not only serve as the host's natal magic weapon to enhance the host's combat power, but also accommodate living beings to cultivate, accelerate the cultivation speed, and even open up a chaotic barrier in times of crisis to resist attacks from saints.

In comparison, while mastering the eighth stage of the "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Record" can improve one's cultivation level, with the absolute support of a treasure, the host's overall combat strength will increase even faster.

Jiang Wang remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on the Secret Realm Tower. His eyes were filled with complex emotions—longing, hesitation, and a hint of resentment. After a long while, he slowly spoke, his tone tinged with a hint of probing: "You mean, this Secret Realm Tower is more useful than my cultivation of the eighth stage of the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Record?"

It's not that they're more useful, but rather that they complement each other.

The system responded precisely: "The Nine Revolutions Spirit Treasure Record is a body-refining method that can enhance the host's physical strength and original power, while the Secret Realm Tower is a Chaos Treasure that can assist the host in cultivation and enhance combat power. Only by combining the two can the host surpass the Qilin Ancestor in the shortest time and even gain a foothold in the entire Chaos Realm."

If the host focuses solely on body refinement without the aid of treasures, even upon reaching the ninth level, they might not be able to escape unscathed from an attack by millions of saints. However, if they refine the Secret Realm Tower, even with only the seventh level of the "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Record," they can still contend with saints with the power of the treasures.
