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

In this long and brutal close-quarters battle.

Lu Xueyao's swordsmanship, which was originally somewhat clumsy and unrestrained, began to become more and more refined, restrained, and faster after she successively killed hundreds of blood demons!

At the end.

Her knife-wielding movements had become an almost artistic blend of fluidity and cruelty.

With a single strike, not only was space itself cleaved open, but all the blood demons within a radius of several feet around it had their blood essence forcibly drained by the ultimate "blood-transforming" intent of the Blood Transforming Divine Blade before they even touched the blade, turning them into dried corpses and collapsing to the ground!

Her swordsmanship, honed through this frenzied battle, began to refine and transform towards the ultimate state of "Supreme Sword Intent," a state of returning to simplicity and achieving ultimate annihilation!

In just half an hour.

Under Lu Xueyao's Devouring Heaven Demon Art's reverse frenzied absorption of the blood pool, the bloody extermination that starved the nine major offspring of the Ghostly Nine, and her own unpredictable and extremely sharp Blood Transformation Divine Blade's wild slashing and hacking.

At this moment, the entire boundless pool of boiling blood was actually "drunk dry" by Lu Xueyao, and instead absorbed into a dry, cracked, dark brown wasteland!

The thousands of berserk blood demons in the blood pool, who were said to be able to regenerate infinitely and were invincible, were completely wiped out, not even a hair was left, and they were reduced to ashes!

[Ding! Level cleared successfully!]

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

[Perfect rating achieved!]

[Check-in time: 35 minutes!]

[Top-tier rewards for clearing the fifth level are being distributed:]

[Congratulations to the chosen one, Lu Xueyao, for obtaining a top-grade healing artifact—a Blood God Crystal!]

[Blood God Crystal Description: This crystal is formed by the condensation of immense Yin blood energy and the purest life essence.]

When a chosen one suffers any severe injury (including physical disintegration, soul damage, or even Dao injury eroding their life force), simply consuming this crystal will instantly and perfectly reset all damaged physical vitality and spiritual essence, restoring them to their peak state!

Looking at the blood-red divine crystal in his palm, radiating rich vitality, crystal clear, and as dazzling as a beating heart.

Lu Xueyao wiped the sweat from her forehead, a satisfied smile appearing on her cool face.

This Blood God Crystal was equivalent to giving her a second life; its value was immeasurable.

At this time.

At the outpost plaza in front of the Tower of Babel.

Looking at the leaderboard on the stone tablet, Lu Xueyao, with an absolute advantage, once again passed the fourth and fifth levels with perfect ratings and astonishing speed.

The entire blue planet.

At this moment, audiences around the world were completely numb.

In the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room, the chat was filled with a frenzy of worship:

"Goddess Xueyao! You are my only faith!"

"Two minutes to clear the fourth level, half an hour to drain the blood pool on the fifth level... Please, Goddess, leave a way out for the people of other countries!"

"Hahaha! Goddess Xueyao's swordsmanship in that scene, slaying the Blood Demon, was so cool! So heroic! Goddess Xueyao is invincible!"

Meanwhile, in the live streams on foreign websites such as Japan and France, only a deathly silence filled with jealousy and terror remained.

Lu Xueyao stored the Blood God Crystal deep inside her storage ring.

[Ding! Detected that the Chosen One, Lu Xueyao, has arrived at the sixth floor of the Tower of Babel.]

[Special Warning: The sixth floor of the Tower of Babel is a "Team Trial Space"! To challenge this level, at least four Chosen Ones who have cleared the first five floors must be present simultaneously to forcibly open the portal!]

[Current number of players who have cleared the first five floors: 1/4.]

The sixth level challenge space is locked due to insufficient participants.

You can choose to wait quietly in the plaza for the progress of other nations' chosen ones, or you can use the return-to-city function to temporarily return to your territory.

After hearing the system's prompt, Lu Xueyao's delicate and aloof face remained largely unchanged.

"Does it require four people to be present at the same time to activate?"

She turned her head and glanced at the empty marble plaza not far away, as well as the black stone monument ranking that was hundreds of feet high, on which most of the people except herself were still stuck on the first or second level.

Given the current slow, even arduous, pace of the chosen ones in other countries as they attempt to climb the tower.

If they want to gather three people who have cleared the first five levels, it will probably take at least half a day or even a whole day.

"I don't have the time to sit here and wait idly."

Lu Xueyao thought to herself calmly.

Without any hesitation, she silently uttered "Return to the city" in her mind, and instantly, a strong fluctuation of time and space arose in the void.

Under a dazzling white light, her delicate body vanished instantly from the plaza of the Tower of Babel, conveniently teleported back to her town-level territory spanning a hundred miles.

This scene was naturally presented to billions of viewers worldwide through the National Fortune Live Broadcast Room.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room erupted in another wave of enthusiastic comments:

"Hahaha! Goddess Xueyao is too fast! The system has to force her to wait for the bottom-ranked train behind her!"

"People from other countries are still being chased and devoured by the Blood Demon on the first level, while Goddess Xueyao has already cleared the fifth level and gone back to her hometown to drink tea. The difference is simply heaven-defying!"

"However, this sixth level requires four people to work together. I wonder if Captain Xu from our Dragon Kingdom, besides Goddess Xueyao, can clear the first five levels today?"

"Definitely! Captain Xu's move of swallowing a gluttonous beast whole just now shows his formidable strength; he'll definitely be in the top five!"

……

At this time.

Lu Xueyao returned to the lord's mansion in the town-level territory.

She came to the center of the territory alone and sat down cross-legged next to the World Tree sapling and the three-foot-tall S-class Chaos Lotus that emitted a hazy blue light.

Just as she settled into her seat.

Deep within Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness, the wisp of divine consciousness left behind by Lu Li slowly opened its double pupils.

"Your magical power is so profound that you have reached a dead end in the Divine Power Realm. It's time to prepare for the next major realm—the Ascension Realm."

Hearing his brother's sudden instruction.

Lu Xueyao's expression turned solemn, and she respectfully replied in her heart, "Please enlighten me, brother. Although I have read about the method of breaking through to the Feather Transformation Realm in the Eternal Night Demon Codex, I still only have a partial understanding of its profound mysteries."

In his sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Li's divine projection nodded slightly and explained slowly, "The Feather Transformation Realm is a crucial step for cultivators to transition from the mortal realm to the point where they can control the laws of heaven and earth."

To break through this realm, the key lies in—comprehending the power of the laws and manifesting them, so that behind your soul, a wheel of laws representing the ultimate principles of Heaven is completely condensed!
