Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 512 Six Hundred Years

Lei Chi was not in a hurry to enter the Trial Tower. He asked Zhao Shuibiao to scout ahead, while Qinghuo Avatar returned to his simple life and continued his blacksmithing and weapon forging.

Two days later, Qiu Kasi and Zhao Zilong joined Qinghuo's incarnation team. They assisted Qinghuo in collecting materials, selling equipment, and disseminating information about the Trial Tower.

Lei Chi spends his days forging iron and refining weapons, seemingly neglecting his duties, but in reality, he treats it as a form of leisure. What outsiders don't know is that he goes into seclusion for ten years every day. Ten years of seclusion inevitably brings boredom, so after emerging from seclusion, he forges iron, refines weapons, and talks to Qiu Kasi, Zhao Zilong, and others, just like taking a vacation.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

While an outsider might spend a month in seclusion, Lei Chi has accumulated 600 years of seclusion.

"For 600 years, I have lived as if it were still a day, I have not wasted my years, I have not been idle, I have not become decadent, I am truly remarkable..."

The avatar of Azure Flame murmured to himself as he walked out of the weapon-refining pavilion, his eyes gleaming.

In his palm, the inheritance token emitted a faint light. On its back, the identity information had been updated. Lei Chi was now "Outer Sect Senior Brother", "Level One Cosmic Sword God", "Level One Turtle Flow Immortal", "Level Two Returning Origin Immortal", "Level Two Blacksmith", and "Level Two Weapon Refiner".

His cultivation level, the second level of the Great Mighty Divine Skill, has already been mastered, and his thoughts have now reached two million, which is twenty thousand times that of an ordinary person.

The [Return to Origin Divine Skill] has also made a breakthrough. Now, there are 16 Thunder Pools in the body. The eight newly added Thunder Pools are located in the ears, eyes, brows, throat, and chest and abdomen.

The sixteen Thunder Pools coalesced, meaning that the Thunder Pools' foundation was 16 times that of its predecessor before cultivating the [Return to Origin Qi Gong]. The actual increase in combat power was even higher, as the Thunder Pools' recovery ability was also enhanced by 16 times. Their endurance and stamina were beyond human comprehension. This made the Thunder Pools deeply realize that they had transcended their mortal bodies and were no longer human.

Lei Chi's [state of blissful mind] has also been partially achieved.

Now, within Lei Chi's sea of ​​consciousness, the [Supreme Bliss Divine Dharma Image] has become extremely solid, standing behind the [Freedom Divine Dharma Image]. The images of these two Dharma Images are neither Buddhist nor Taoist; both are dressed in loose robes and wearing ornate crowns. They have deviated from the description in the [Freedom and Bliss Technique] manual and have taken on Lei Chi's own appearance.

They sit in the sea of ​​consciousness, seemingly able to suppress all storms, keeping Lei Chi full of energy and always in the most perfect state.

In addition, although Lei Chi's meteor intent has not made much progress, he is already extremely proficient in the Star River Hundred Refinement Technique, has mastered meteor forging, and is adept at using the refining equipment in the refining room. The equipment he refines is not only the exclusive equipment inherited by the coward, but also the Long Sky Sword.

The Long Sky Sword is not exclusive equipment, but its power is quite good. The blade is extremely sturdy and sharp, and it can respond quickly to mental energy. For Lei Chi, using this sword with the mental energy master's method of controlling objects is easier than using the [Qiankun Universe Edge], and only slightly more difficult than using the mysterious black longsword that Lei Chi obtained before.

Lei Chi forged a total of 36 Sky Swords, none of which he sold, intending to use them as telekinetic flying swords.

After leaving the weapon-refining pavilion, Lei Chi headed straight for the trial tower.

Although he hadn't entered the Trial Tower in a month, Lei Chi had become extremely familiar with it.

According to the information provided by Zhao Shuibiao and his group, the first eleven levels of the Trial Tower are all located in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm. Different levels of the tower have different guardian monsters. The Yellow Sand Warrior in the first level is the weakest, followed by Yellow Sand Giant Crab, Yellow Sand Giant Python, Yellow Sand Salamander, etc. The eleventh level is like a BOSS level, with the Sand Hidden Divine Palace inside. In the Divine Palace is the Yellow Sand Lord. Once you gain his approval, you can pass the level.

Of the first eleven trials, the eleventh is undoubtedly the most difficult.

Starting from the twelfth floor, the trial scene changes to the Ice Mist Valley, and the difficulty of the trial increases again. The twenty-second floor contains the Ice Hidden Divine Palace, which is inhabited by the Ice Mist Lord.

Starting from the 23rd floor, the trial scene changes to the Burning Wind Secret Realm, making it even more difficult to pass.

Zhao Shuibiao has now reached the twenty-fifth floor of the Trial Tower, while Qiukas has only reached the fifteenth floor. Zhao Zilong is slightly weaker than them, having only passed the sixth floor so far. The person who has reached the highest level so far is Alsh, who has reached the twenty-seventh floor, followed by Zhao Shuibiao, then Meijis, who has reached the twenty-fourth floor, and then Lucifer, Mo Lang, Asmi, and others.

The exclusive items provided by the Azure Flame Incarnation undoubtedly greatly enhanced the combat power of these inheritors, enabling them to achieve such results in the Trial Tower.

As for the previous generation disciples such as Sun Hu, Zhao Shuibiao mentioned to the Azure Flame Incarnation that there were seven of them in total, and they should have already left the outer disciples' activity area and entered the inner disciples' activity area or other higher-level areas.

A moment later, the Azure Flame avatar arrived at the Trial Tower.

Zhao Shuibiao, Qiu Kasi, and others gathered here. Most of the outer disciples have almost exhausted their luck points, and whether they can advance to the outer disciple level and pass the Trial Tower has become their only hope.

"Master is here!"

"It's that Blissful God Lord who refines artifacts!"

"Any new equipment?"

"I've accumulated some more cultivation resources, Lord of Bliss. I'd like to exchange them for another Meteor Divine Sword..."

Zhao Shuibiao and the others immediately rushed over. Because of his ability to refine weapons, the Azure Flame Avatar was now quite popular, and because of Zhao Shuibiao, no one dared to underestimate him.

"I'm not setting up a stall today; I'm taking on the Trial Tower!"

Qinghuo transformed and parted the crowd, striding towards the entrance of the Trial Tower. When he took out the Inheritance Token, some sharp-eyed people noticed the large amount of identity information on the back of the token and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What? He's the senior disciple of the outer sect?"

"How is that possible? How can he have so many identities? How could he have obtained so many certificates in such a short time?"

"I saw it! He's a Level Two Returning Origin Immortal! But if I remember correctly, there's no giant stele for the Returning Origin Qi Cultivation technique in the main hall!"

"I was completely mistaken; this person is a hidden master!"

"No wonder Zhao Shuibiao recognized him as his master; this Blissful God Lord is probably truly the number one person in the outer sect..."

Among the crowd, the most surprised were Asmi and Mo Lang. Asmi was the Angel King, and although she knew that Qing Huo was powerful, she did not expect him to be this extraordinary. Mo Lang, on the other hand, recalled his past sarcasm towards Lei Chi and felt uneasy and ashamed.

The 36 swords in the sky moved like swimming fish and flying flowers, their sharpness unmatched. In less than three minutes, the Azure Flame Avatar passed through the second level, and in another five minutes, it passed through the third level. From there on, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

If we were to talk about Lei Chi's strongest attack method right now, it would probably be the first move of the Cosmic Sword Technique, "Sword One: Meteor," using the Meteor Divine Sword. However, although this sword move is powerful, it cannot be sustained for long, and Lei Chi doesn't want to experience that feeling of burning his life too much.

Since the main body and the Azure Flame incarnation cannot communicate with each other using Thunder Qi, the amount of Thunder Qi used by the Azure Flame incarnation is gradually reduced, and the Thunder Pool is rarely used.

As for the Azure Flame incarnation, it has a remarkable effect on the power of faith, but it is not suitable for direct combat, so the Azure Flame incarnation will naturally not use it.

Only spiritual power can connect the physical body and the Azure Flame Avatar. Therefore, the Azure Flame Avatar is now like a spiritual master, wielding a sword to kill enemies and passing through levels as if strolling in a garden, simply by walking with its hands behind its back.

Unbeknownst to him, the Azure Flame Avatar had already reached the eleventh floor. He entered the majestic Sand Hidden Divine Palace and, after walking through a long corridor, saw the Yellow Sand Lord sitting on a huge throne.
