I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 199 Seventh Floor

"Not bad!"

Looking at the six-armed golden ape in front of him, Wu Ming finally showed some interest.

At his current level, he has no interest in ordinary opponents. Only when the opponent reaches the level of the six-armed golden ape in front of him can he muster even a trace of fighting spirit.

boom!
The six-armed golden ape's strength was enough to make Wu Ming take it seriously, so Wu Ming stopped using any probing methods and directly activated the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form. In an instant, the surging Earthly Fiend power rose up and gathered into a two-zhang-eight-zhang-tall earth-colored giant.

Although there is an array inside the Hidden Dragon Tower, this array does not suppress the power of heaven and earth. Therefore, no magic or Taoist technique is restricted here. For example, the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form can directly draw Earthly Fiend power from the tower to replenish itself.

"Congeal."

After activating the Earthly Fiend Yuanfa Dharma Image, Wu Ming did not pause. Inside the Dharma Image, he made a loose clenching motion with his palm and used the Fighting Word Technique to control the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image. This caused the massive body to suddenly solidify and be compressed further inward, from 28 feet to 22 feet. This was the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image in its ultimate form, which Wu Ming was currently controlling!
Almost at the same moment Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Dharma Form was revealed, the six-armed golden ape also made a fierce move. It leaped into the air, its massive body soaring into the sky, its six arms wielding six long staffs, smashing them down on Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Dharma Form.

boom! boom! boom! boom! ! !
Undeterred, Wu Ming manipulated the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image, his six arms waving and fists clenching as he charged upwards to meet the attack. In an instant, his six arms and fists collided with the Golden Ape Demon King's six long staffs, producing a series of thunderous roars like landslides.

The Golden Ape Demon King wielded six long staffs, their power terrifying beyond measure. The power of almost every single staff was close to the spear technique that Xue Lin had previously used, and all of them reached the top level of a five-blood martial artist, which was truly astonishing.

However, Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Dharma Form has now been cultivated to the fourth level. Furthermore, with the Fighting Word Technique to control and drive it, it has reached its ultimate power. It has also steadily entered the top level of the Fifth Refinement. It was able to withstand the fierce attack of the Golden Ape Demon King!

"Shenxiao".

After Wu Ming controlled his Dharma form to block the Golden Ape Demon King's fierce attack, his eyes were clear, and he reached out and pressed forward lightly.

boom!
A beam of blazing lightning suddenly pierced through the chest of the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image from within, striking directly at the Golden Ape Demon King in front of him.

The Golden Ape Demon King's six long staffs were locked in a stalemate with the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image's six arms. It had no spare strength and could hardly dodge, but it was not panicked. Instead, it opened its huge mouth and let out a roar.

"Roar!"

This roar was earth-shattering and shook the entire world.

A terrifying sound wave, visible to the naked eye, formed in front of him and burst out, colliding with the lightning released by Wu Ming in the air, causing the lightning to crackle and disintegrate continuously.

"A natural talent or supernatural ability?"

"Let's see how many more times you can hold out."

Seeing this, Wu Ming remained calm. He had basically confirmed the strength of the Golden Ape Demon King with these two moves and wanted to test his Divine Firmament Thunder Technique. So he did not use his flying sword to assist, but simply used the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique to strike head-on.

boom! boom! boom!
One after another, divine lightning spells rained down, while the golden ape demon king roared repeatedly, constantly releasing its innate divine ability 'Ape Howl' to resist Wu Ming's lightning spells. However, its innate divine ability was ultimately not as flexible and unpredictable as Wu Ming's lightning spells. In particular, Wu Ming's ability to release lightning spells seemed to have almost no loss of soul power. Gradually, the golden ape demon king was forced into a disadvantageous position.

After fighting for nearly a quarter of an hour, another Divine Firmament Thunder Technique was unleashed. The Golden Ape Demon King's power was not flowing smoothly, and it was unable to defend itself in time. It was struck by Wu Ming's Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, and it roared in pain for a moment.

As a demon king at the peak of the fifth transformation, his physique was terrifyingly powerful, far surpassing that of human martial artists. Even Wu Ming's current Divine Firmament Thunder Technique was not enough to kill him in one move, but this attack did indeed injure him, causing his aura to weaken significantly.

The battle has reached this point,

The outcome was already predictable.

Wu Ming unleashed several more lightning spells in succession, relentlessly attacking the Golden Ape Demon King until its howls grew weaker and weaker. Finally, with a bang, the Earthly Fiend Dharma Form unleashed six punches, striking the Golden Ape Demon King's body and completely shattering it.

Wow.

The Golden Ape Demon King's body disintegrated into the power of heaven and earth, and was quickly absorbed and swallowed by the formation within the Hidden Dragon Tower. The six long staffs he held clattered to the ground, then each emitted light and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the ceiling and filling the six holes left in the ceiling. Everything was restored to its original state.

After the array's light flickered a few times, the steps leading to the seventh floor glowed green.

"call."

Wu Ming let out a soft breath and dispelled the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image.

The exchange just now would have been very taxing if he hadn't obtained the 'Zhe' technique, at least two-thirds of his primordial spirit power. But now, with the restoration from the 'Zhe' technique, the consumption was negligible, only one-tenth.

He can recover this one-tenth of his soul power loss in an instant simply by focusing on circulating the "Zhe" incantation.

Despite his easy victory, which didn't even involve manipulating flying swords to launch an attack, this ape demon's strength was actually extraordinary, comparable to Xue Lin on the island in the middle of the lake.

However, Xue Lin still has room for further growth, but the strength of this ape demon is fixed at this level.

"If the sixth level is already this difficult, what will the seventh level be like?"

Wu Ming looked at the stairs leading to the higher floors with a hint of curiosity.

The Hidden Dragon Tower has nine levels. The guardian demon on the sixth level possesses top-tier strength at the fifth level of refinement and blood cultivation. Could the seventh level be guarded by a sixth-transformation demon king? If so, who in the Hidden Dragon Academy could possibly break through to the top? It's true that the Hidden Dragon Academy gathers the best talents from every era of the Yong Kingdom, but the gap between the fifth and sixth transformations is like a chasm. Even at the peak of the fifth transformation, there is still a huge gap between it and the threshold of the sixth transformation, making it difficult to cross.

Within the Hidden Dragon Academy, it's already incredibly difficult to reach the Fifth Blood and Fifth Refinement stage around the age of twenty-five; only a very few can achieve it. As for breaking through to the Sixth Blood and Sixth Refinement stage before the age of thirty, it has never happened in history. After all, the higher the realm, the more profound the accumulation required, and the bottlenecks in realms are not so easy to break through.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Wu Ming quickly gathered his thoughts and started walking up the stairs.

Just how difficult is it? You'll know once you take a look.

The seventh floor.

Wu Ming arrived here.

Compared to the sixth floor, the array power on this floor is more powerful. As he ascended to the seventh floor, he saw three carved patterns on the ceiling shimmering with light. They were three demon kings of different appearances.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! ! !
The power of the formation surged and gathered, pouring into the ceiling. Then, the three patterns seemed to come alive, emerging from the ceiling one by one, before falling to the ground, wriggling and rapidly taking shape.

On the left is a five-tailed white fox demon, on the right is a fierce and violent mountain demon, and in the very center is a pitch-black snake, which is several meters long and has five heads!
These three demon kings, none of whom had reached the sixth transformation level, were all no weaker than the previous six-armed golden ape demon king. They were all top-level demon kings, and belonged to different races, with their methods obviously being different as well!
"Good guy."

Looking at this scene, Wu Ming couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Without any hesitation, he instantly activated the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form and directly controlled it with the Fighting Word Technique.

then,

Guided by his soul, he suddenly unleashed his lightning magic, and a bolt of lightning struck down upon the pitch-black five-headed serpent in the center.

The jet-black five-headed serpent hissed, its five heads raised high, and suddenly opened its huge mouth, bursting out streams of jet-black light that instantly converged and collided with the lightning released by Wu Ming, continuously annihilating each other.

The mountain demon on the right also moved immediately, letting out a strange cawing sound, and rushed directly to Wu Ming's side to fight Wu Ming's Earthly Fiend Dharma Image in close combat. Although it only had two arms, its movements were more agile and its strength was more swift. It was not at a disadvantage in the face of the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image's six arms, and even had a slight suppression!

"go."

Wu Ming used the Earthly Fiend Dharma Form to resist the mountain demon, and the Divine Firmament Thunder Dharma to fight against the five-headed black snake. Then he activated the Secret Technique of Manipulating Objects, and two beams of blood light flew out from beside him, directly attacking the five-tailed white fox demon on the far left.

The white fox demon stood still, its fox face suddenly changing, transforming into a face like that of a human woman. It smiled charmingly, a smile of exquisite beauty, carrying an irresistible allure. At the same time, its five tails suddenly extended from its back, intertwining together to form a long white whip that swayed left and right, constantly colliding with the blood-red flying sword and blocking all the sword light.

The combined power of the three-headed, five-transformation peak demon kings was terrifying. In just the first round of combat, they withstood all of Wu Ming's attacks, and then each of them unleashed their power to launch a fierce counterattack against Wu Ming!

boom!
The mountain demon roared and spat out a ball of light, which directly shattered the arms of the Earthly Fiend Dharma Image.

hiss.

After the five-headed black serpent demon extinguished the lightning, it suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed a black, liquid-like substance directly onto Wu Ming's body. Wherever the black liquid passed, the air hissed, which was extremely terrifying.

"whee."

The five-tailed fox demon spoke in a human voice, and several white phantoms split off from its body, transforming into the figures of beautiful women, including Yan Chuyu, Zhou Ruoyun, Yan Luo, and others. They were all wearing nearly transparent gauze dresses, their beauty partially revealed, and their graceful figures approached Wu Ming from all directions.

"The strength of this seventh level is really troublesome."

Seeing this scene, Wu Ming's eyes showed little panic; he remained calm. After a slight flicker in his eyes, he took a step back, retreating from the edge of the seventh floor to the steps leading to the sixth floor.

With this step, all the movements of the three-headed demon king within the seventh level ceased instantly.

then,

Wu Ming dispersed his Dharma form and took two more steps back until he was completely out of the seventh level. The figure of the three-headed demon king in the seventh level also gradually faded, quickly dissipated, and disappeared.

After retreating to the sixth floor, Wu Ming looked up at the seventh floor above, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Compared to the sixth level, the seventh level suddenly becomes a demon king at the peak of the three-headed, five-transformation realm, which increases the difficulty by more than a little. Even if he goes all out and wields two more weapons, he can only manage a stalemate at best and find it difficult to win.

To win, he either needs to use the Dharma Aspect Fusion to activate the Heaven and Earth Thunder Fiend Dharma Aspect, or he needs to forcibly activate the killing weapons deeper within the Demon Subduing Diagram. However, he does not want to expose the former method for the time being, and he cannot use the latter method indiscriminately.

"Once I cultivate the Heavenly Gang Thunder Essence Dharma Form to the fourth level, breaking through this level will not be difficult."

Wu Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

I'm just here today to see what the Hidden Dragon Tower is like. Breaking through to the sixth floor is enough; there's no rush.
