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

[Effective damage calculation for this level:]

[Lu Xueyao, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, accounts for 85% of the effective damage!]

[Xu Jingming, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, effective damage percentage: 15%!]

[Other challengers: Eliminated (damage share: 0%)!]

[Sixth-tier SSS-level rating achieved! Exclusive personal rewards are being distributed...]

As the system announcement sounded, countless reward lights descended from the sky.

At the same time.

Lu Xueyao absorbed the extremely pure Nirvana essence blood from the second-stage guardian phoenix into her body.

The void behind her.

The four Wheels of Law, representing the laws of life and death, began to spin and grow at an unprecedented and frenzied speed under the forceful nurturing and nourishment of this supreme immortal blood essence!

"boom."

Amidst the intense and refined power of life and death.

Behind her soul.

The fifth Law Wheel... has taken shape!

The sixth Law Wheel... has taken shape!

Nourished by the vast amount of immortal blood, the chaotic magical power gushing from the 365 acupoints in Lu Xueyao's body surged several times over once again!

The seed of immortal divine power within the dantian also became even more crystalline.

Cultivation level.

Once again, they swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum.

He forcefully broke through within the Tower of Babel and directly entered the sixth level of the Feather Transformation Realm!

It is a wheel that condenses all six laws!

but.

Just as Lu Xueyao felt the surging power within her body and tried to break through to the seventh level, which represented the advanced stage of ascension, in one breath.

Her body suddenly jolted.

To her astonishment, she discovered that no matter how surging the newly absorbed Phoenix Immortal Blood power within her body was, the seventh Law Wheel behind her soul remained in a void of shadow, unable to coalesce into a coherent form.

It was as if, in the darkness, an invisible and incredibly thick bottleneck was blocking her path forward.

Just as Lu Xueyao was feeling somewhat puzzled...

Within her sea of ​​consciousness.

The divine consciousness of the Great Emperor that Lu Li had left deep in her mind slowly opened its eyes, its voice still calm and rational: "Xueyao, don't be impatient for quick success. The speed at which you were able to break through from the Divine Power Realm to the sixth level of Feather Transformation in just two days is already a miracle that can be described as earth-shattering and rare, even in the ancient history of cultivation in our Xuantian Realm."

"To reach the threshold of the seventh level of ascension, it is not simply a matter of devouring power or refining high-level, strange essence blood."

Lu Li's eyes flashed with a light that saw through the essence of the Great Dao, and he gently pointed out: "Although you have now mastered the Law of Life and Death, due to proper protection, your understanding of the Law of Death, which represents ultimate destruction, is mostly superficial and lacks the most core essence."

"If you want to comprehend the deepest truth of the Great Way of Death, you must personally experience and feel the approach of death in the true terror of life and death, or even in the absolute desperate situation where your life hangs by a thread, in order to condense this seventh law wheel."

"This requires opportunity and life-or-death trials; it cannot be achieved through brute force alone. Do you understand?"

Hearing his brother's heartfelt and insightful guidance, he felt deeply moved.

After a brief moment of tension, Lu Xueyao's previously somewhat agitated mood instantly returned to a crystal-clear calm.

"Xueyao understands now. Xueyao was a bit greedy. Thank you for your guidance, brother."

Lu Xueyao responded sweetly and obediently in her heart.

She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down the terrifying magical power surging within her body, which had gathered the power of six Law Wheels.

Although she failed to break through to the seventh level in one fell swoop, her current combat power, which can be described as heaven-defying, is definitely a god-like existence in the sixth level of the Tower of Babel.

Meanwhile, on the side, someone witnessed the terrifying process of Lu Xueyao refining the phoenix on the spot, condensing two layers of law wheels in the lightning, and her aura increasing several times over.

Xu Jingming's originally cold and stern face.

The muscles at the corners of his eyes began to twitch and tremble violently.

This is the captain of Bureau 749, who is revered in China as having unparalleled combat power.

This moment.

Looking at Lu Xueyao, who was dressed in a flowing white dress and exuded an ethereal aura, she seemed like a celestial maiden descending from the heavens.

He didn't even have the strength to breathe anymore; all that remained in his eyes was endless, even somewhat comical, self-mockery and deep fear and helplessness.

In front of this woman, he, the so-called golden gluttonous genius, was...

He's even more like a clown than a clown himself.

"Xueyao...you are truly a divine being."

After struggling for a long time, Xu Jingming could only manage to squeeze out a weak, heartfelt exclamation filled with awe and reverence.

The white light that signaled the passage to the sixth level of the Tower of Babel gradually dissipated into the void.

Beneath Lu Xueyao and Xu Jingming's feet, each drop of Phoenix Essence Blood, radiating a dazzling platinum light and containing a miniature phoenix phantom frantically spreading its wings, floated quietly in mid-air.

[Ding! The grand prize for clearing the sixth floor has been awarded!]

[Congratulations to the chosen one for obtaining: One drop of Phoenix Essence Blood!]

[Description of the divine object: After consuming it directly, the chosen one will condense a phoenix essence within their body.]

In the event of any form of fatal attack in the future, they will be forcibly granted an unparalleled chance to "rise from the ashes like a phoenix" and be reborn!

"My darling."

Xu Jingming grinned and put the drop of immortal blood, which represented a second life, into his pocket.

Lu Xueyao, however, remained aloof and, with a flick of her slender fingers, stored the drop of phoenix essence blood in the most central location of her storage ring.

Then.

Driven by the system's teleportation light, the two figures instantly disappeared in the sixth level of space.

When Lu Xueyao opened her eyes again, she found that she had entered a bizarre world that was completely different from any of the previous levels.

This floor, known as the seventh floor of the Tower of Babel, is an absolute personal trial instance!

The surrounding area was a huge, dark, and deathly hall, much like the main hall of an ancient county government office.

The pale white mourning couplets fluttered on both sides without any wind, and the air was filled with an extremely strong, almost nauseating, strange smell of old paper mixed with rotten ink.

Above the main hall hangs a tattered plaque with the four large characters "明镜高悬" (meaning "a clear mirror hangs high"), but black blood is constantly flowing down from those four characters.

[The seventh floor of the Tower of Babel—a solo challenge instance—is now open!]

[This floor's guardian lord: S-rank forbidden mystery—[The Mysterious One]!]

[Core rule hint for the mystery:]

[1. Absolute Suppression: As enforcers of the underworld, the Ghost Messenger is born with an "absolute superior suppression rule" that no low-level ghost can resist! Once the Ghost Messenger appears, it can forcibly and indiscriminately suppress all ghosts of A rank and below within its range, instantly rendering them inoperable! At the same time, even when facing S-rank ghosts of the same level, the Ghost Messenger can instantly and forcibly seal and suppress all supernatural operations of three of those ghosts!]
