An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

finally.

The ninety-ninth floor!

The moment Lu Xueyao's fair, jade-like feet landed steadily on the ninety-ninth step and she stepped directly into the faintly glowing teleportation portal.

At this moment, the entire long staircase burst forth with a dazzling, pure white light, even exuding a sense of Buddhist peace!

[Ding! Level cleared successfully!]

[Congratulations to Lu Xueyao, the chosen one of the Dragon Kingdom, for successfully clearing the fourth level of the Tower of Babel!]

[Perfect rating achieved!]

[Special rewards exclusive to the fourth tier are being distributed:]

[Congratulations to the chosen one, Lu Xueyao, for obtaining a Grade A top-tier artifact—the Mind-Stabilizing Pearl!]

[Description of the Mind-Stabilizing Bead: After binding, it can be placed in the sea of ​​consciousness. This bead can continuously release gentle mental energy to firmly protect the soul defense of the chosen one.]

Not only does it provide perfect immunity to all killing patterns below S-rank that specifically target the mind and hallucinations, but it also offers strong immunity and protection against unsolvable spiritual and mental attacks!

Looking at the round, light blue pearl in my hand, radiating an aura of peace and tranquility.

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Xueyao's eyes. With this Mind-Stabilizing Pearl, coupled with the previous tempering of her inner demons, she could be said to be in an absolutely invincible position when facing any mental anomalies in the future!

Without any delay, she stepped directly into the fifth level of space amidst the white light of teleportation.

……

The fifth floor.

When Lu Xueyao opened her eyes again, she found that her environment had once again undergone a depressing and terrifying change.

This is a seemingly endless pool of black and bright red blood, composed of endless viscous fluid that reeks of rusty brass and the stench of decay—the [Endless Blood Pool]!

At this moment, she was actually floating directly above the surface of the blood pool.

And the instant she appeared.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The boiling blood in the blood pool began to surge through the void, unleashing a tyrannical, source-directing absorption rule.

Lu Xueyao was astonished to discover that, under the influence of this blood pool, her maximum life value was being slowly but steadily reduced by 1% per second!

Not only that.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

Countless huge blood bubbles burst open in the boiling blood all around.

One after another, thousands of ferocious Blood Demons, each several meters tall and composed entirely of viscous blood plasma, emerged from the blood pool with ear-piercing snarls, completely surrounding Lu Xueyao and Tuanmo.

[The fifth level of the Tower of Babel trial is now open:]

[Mission Objective: Destroy all the "Blood Demons" in this pool before they completely drain your life force!]

[Warning: The Blood Pool's blood-draining rules ignore physical defense, and each Blood Demon within the Blood Pool possesses the formidable ability to infinitely regenerate and revive!]

Listen to these harsh instructions.

Looking at the boiling blood around her, Lu Xueyao's beautiful lips curled into a cold and arrogant smile.

"Want to suck my blood?"

"With this mere blood pool, you dare to flaunt your devouring techniques before my Devouring Heaven Demon Art? It's utterly ridiculous!"

Lu Xueyao's expression was cold and indifferent.

Instead of defending herself or running away, she calmly sat down cross-legged on the boiling, extremely corrosive surface of the blood.

"Devouring Heaven Demon Art, devour it in reverse!"

Lu Xueyao's mind stirred.

At this moment, the Devouring Demon Art within her body began to operate at an unprecedented and violent speed.

"boom--!"

A massive black vortex, hundreds of meters in diameter and so deep it seemed to swallow even light, suddenly coalesced and took shape beneath the blood beneath Lu Xueyao!

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art's domineering and unparalleled devouring law was fully displayed at this moment.

The endless blood pool, which was originally frantically absorbing Lu Xueyao's life force, was pulled by this black hole-like devouring gravity. In a fraction of a second, the extreme yang blood energy and endless life force in the entire massive blood pool were forcibly reversed by that force and began to be frantically [forcibly absorbed and devoured by the black vortex]!

"Splash—"

The boiling blood pool began to drop at a visible speed. The endless pure blood energy was absorbed and purified by the vortex, turning into the warmest current. It flowed along Lu Xueyao's newly opened 365 acupoints, continuously merging into her limbs and bones, making her chaotic body radiate a dazzling jade-like immortal light.

And in this process of reverse absorption.

The thousands of blood demons that crawled out from the surrounding area also let out angry and terrified roars, and swarmed towards Lu Xueyao desperately.

"Starving ghost, ghost bride, time to work."

Lu Xueyao kept her eyes closed, too lazy to even move a finger.

"Swish! Swish!"

The banner of ten thousand souls emitted a burst of black energy, and the enormous form of the starving ghost and the ghost bride descended together once again.

The grotesque bride directly opened her crimson wedding dress and created an absolute wedding domain, which tightly imprisoned and suppressed all the blood demons within a hundred meters of Lu Xueyao, preventing them from moving or reorganizing their origins in mid-air.

The Starving Demon went completely berserk, splitting into nine sub-bodies that unleashed a bloody and brutal massacre on the ruins like a raging storm.

The demonic hair of the offspring was strangled, the demonic eyes were stripped away, and the mirror was used to imprison them... One by one, the blood demons didn't even have a chance to be resurrected before they were completely shattered by the nine offspring of the starving demon and forcibly imprisoned in the mirror world, becoming food for the starving demon.

Meanwhile.

Lu Xueyao was not idle. While the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was backfiring on the blood pool, she slowly stood up and drew out the weapon with evil corrosive power that she always wore at her waist—the Blood Transformation Divine Blade.

"Today, I will use these unkillable blood demons to hone and refine the sword techniques attached to my Eternal Night Grimoire!"

A brilliant yet ruthless glint of sword intent flashed in Lu Xueyao's beautiful eyes.

Dressed in white, wielding the dark red Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, she flashed forward and plunged headlong into the densely packed army of Blood Demons!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

In this trial space where there are no laws to restrict.

Lu Xueyao frantically poured the chaotic magic power within her body into the blade of the Blood God Blade.

Her exquisitely beautiful body left behind afterimages in the void, and the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade in her hand transformed into a series of sharp, precise, and merciless blade lights, radiating a sky full of dark red blood light and an aura of death!

"Broken bone!"

"Death!"

"Killing!"

Lu Xueyao rhythmically swung her battle blade, and with each swing, one or even several of the massive heads of the Blood Demons were precisely sliced ​​off.

The malevolent devouring power attached to the Blood Transformation Divine Blade was also operating wildly at this moment. With each strike to the Blood Demon, it greedily absorbed the essence and life force from the opponent's body in order to temper and nourish the imperial runes on the Blood Transformation Divine Blade!
