When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Feng retracted the Void Wings and landed on the ruins of the street.

At this moment, Qin Lie's eyes gleamed.

This is hardly the work of a genius.

He's practically a walking god of death!

He had only one thought in his mind right now:

Even if it means cheating and deceiving, we must bring Jiang Feng into the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities!

A blush crept onto Luo Li's face as well.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, gazed dreamily at Jiang Feng's retreating figure, her heart skipping a beat.

Next, the crisis was temporarily averted, and the group found an open space to sit down and rest, and discuss their next tactics.

"Brother Jiang, to be honest, our Supernatural Abilities Bureau headquarters already has some information about the origins of this city."

Qin Lie's expression became more solemn than ever before. "Do you all believe that all those secret realms, large and small, within the Dragon Kingdom are completely unrelated, independent spaces?"

Jiang Feng and Xiao Xingye exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

This has always been the consensus in the martial arts world.

"Actually, that's wrong."

"After decades of research, the research team at the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities has reached a conclusion—all the secret realms we have explored so far actually belong to the same world!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng and the others were all greatly shocked.

"That's a world many times more advanced than our Earth!"

"They not only possess brilliant technology, but also have developed a martial arts and cultivation civilization that has reached the pinnacle. It can be said to be a utopia where technology and the extraordinary coexist."

Qin Lie gave a bitter smile, pointing to the devastated streets outside, "But for some reason, a mutation infection suddenly broke out in that world, ultimately leading to the fall and shattering of the entire world."

"The secret realms that have appeared on our Blue Star are nothing more than a few fragments that fell from that world."

"Over the years, our Supernatural Abilities Bureau has been searching for the source of that apocalyptic anomaly..."

Qin Lie stared at the towering black tower in the city center, emanating a towering black aura. "Now it seems that the black tower is very likely the source of the infection that caused the destruction of the world!" Upon hearing this truth, Jiang Feng and the others were unable to calm down for a long time.

Even a world that has developed technology and martial arts to their extremes could not escape it.

If the things inside that black tower were to run to Earth.

The consequences could be disastrous!

"Since the source is there, let's go and destroy it!"

A flash of murderous intent crossed Jiang Feng's eyes, and he made the decision immediately.

The group quickly formed small teams and headed towards the Black Tower.

A few hours later.

When the group finally fought their way through the beast horde and arrived directly beneath the Black Tower, they began to feel the tower's grandeur and oppressive atmosphere.

Upon closer inspection, the black tower is incredibly tall, its surface covered with chains and densely packed sealing runes.

What kind of holy place is this?

It was clearly a prison used to hold some kind of terrifying being! Meanwhile, the square below the black tower was already bustling with noise.

Besides Jiang Feng and his group, representatives from other forces that had entered the secret realm from various directions had also arrived.

Ling Xu, the top genius of the Beijing-Tianjin Military Region, Ji Wudao, the young master of the Ji family in Kyoto, Wang Zun, the genius of the Wang family, and Elder Long, the elder who escorted a mysterious young master from Kyoto, all occupy their own territories.

On the other side of the square, demonic energy surged.

Xue Wu of the Devouring Demon Sect was leading twelve Blood Shadow Guards, watching the entire scene.

At this moment, the major forces did not rush into the Black Tower, but were discussing something intensely, with greed and fanaticism shining in everyone's eyes.

"Have you heard? This black tower enshrines a magical artifact—the 'Tear of Immortality'!"

"It's not just hearsay! Ancient scrolls unearthed from other secret realms years ago clearly state that this item not only contains immense vitality, capable of reviving the dead and healing flesh and bones, but also grants immortality!"

"Immortality! If some ninth-rank powerhouse were to devour it, wouldn't they be able to break free from the shackles of lifespan and ascend to immortality instantly?"

"Stop dreaming! How could such a supreme divine object possibly be in the hands of us rogue cultivators? Didn't you see how green the eyes of those aristocratic families and demonic sects are? It's bound to be a bloodbath soon!"

The crowd was filled with murmurs and discussions.

At this moment, Ji Wudao stared intently at the black tower, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement. "The Tears of Immortality... must be mine!"

As long as he can bring this magic treasure back to the Ji family and present it to the ancestor whose lifespan is about to end, the Ji family will immediately produce a ninth-rank powerhouse who can break the lifespan limit!

At that time, the Ji family will rise above all other aristocratic families in Kyoto.

And Ji Wudao was able to firmly sit in the position of the successor of the Ji family head, and no one could shake his position!

On the other side, the seemingly resting Elder Long had his fists clenched tightly beneath his sleeves.

Rumors circulated that he led his team into this perilous secret realm to help the young master harvest the "Ten Thousand Year Lingzhi".

It's ridiculous!

The young master is extremely wealthy; he could easily buy a mere ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum on the market with money.

His true target was this Tear of Immortality!

The young master is suffering from a terminal illness, his life force is waning, and all the doctors in the world are helpless.

Only this legendary supreme magic weapon, which can revive the dead and heal the wounded, can defy fate and save the young master's life!

Anyone who dares to stand in his way of seizing the treasure will be killed without mercy! Just as the atmosphere was extremely tense, with various forces harboring their own secret intentions,

"Hehehe..."

A burst of arrogant, cold laughter suddenly echoed across the square.

Within the Demon Sect camp, Xue Wuyai, clad in a blood-red robe, stepped forward from the crowd.

He swept his contemptuous gaze across everyone present, making no attempt to hide the sarcasm in his tone: "You bunch of crude warriors dare to dream of competing with my Holy Sect for the supreme treasure?"

"Today, this 'Tears of Immortality' will surely be mine, Xue Wuya's! Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of this secret realm now!"

"presumptuous!"

"That demonic sorcerer is utterly arrogant!"

"Do you really think we, a reputable sect, are afraid of your Eclipse Demon Sect?!"

Xue Wuyai's words instantly enraged all the martial artists present, and a fierce barrage of curses and condemnations erupted from the crowd.

"Noisy."

Facing the condemnation of thousands, Xue Wuyai coldly uttered two words. The next second...

"boom!"

The twelve Blood Shadow Guards simultaneously took a step forward!

A monstrous demonic aura, as vast as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, instantly swept across the entire plaza!

The crowd, who had just been furious and hurling insults, instantly turned pale.

The entire square fell into a deathly silence in an instant!

"Boom!"

Just as the entire audience was stunned into silence by Xue Wuya's demonic aura.

A sudden rumbling sound came from the black tower.

Immediately afterwards, the black tower gate slowly opened to both sides amidst a dense, impenetrable black mist!

The moment the gate opened, a beam of light refracted through the black mist.

The crowd could vaguely see a mysterious pearl floating on the high platform of the black tower! The alluring life force emanating from it was so potent that just one breath made one's blood boil, as if even one's lifespan was increasing!

"The Tears of Immortality! A magical artifact has been born!"

In an instant, everyone in the square lost their senses due to this temptation.

Whether they were the prodigies of the major military regions, the young masters of the Kyoto families, or even the rogue cultivators, they all went mad, their eyes bloodshot as they ran wildly toward the gate!

"Don't go over there! Something's strange!"

A golden light flashed in Jiang Feng's eyes from the "Phantom-Seeing Divine Eye," and he sensed an evil aura hidden behind the light.

He stopped Shen Weilan, Xiao Xingye and the others behind him.

However, Zhuo Feifan and Zhao Gang, who had just joined the team, had already lost their minds to this temptation.

"Our opportunity is right in front of us, let's give it our all! If we seize this magic treasure, we can ascend to the heavens in one fell swoop!"

The two roared greedily and charged toward the gate without regard for anything else.

"Come back! Are you looking for death?!"

Qin Lie shouted hoarsely from behind, but the two paid no heed and had already stepped into the Black Tower's gate. Just then, a sudden change occurred!

Inside the Black Tower's gate, the originally holy light instantly transformed into a vortex!

A terrifying suction force that transcended the laws of heaven and earth suddenly erupted!

"Aaaaaah!"

The few rogue cultivators at the forefront had no chance to resist and were instantly sucked into the black tower.

Immediately afterwards, the suction force enveloped the entire square!

"Not good!" Jiang Feng was about to activate the Void Wings to forcefully evacuate with his people when he discovered that the surrounding space was locked.

An irresistible pulling force came.

He felt everything go black before his eyes, and he and everyone else present were sucked into the black tower!

……

In the darkness, my vision distorted.

Jiang Feng began to faintly hear various absurd laughs and delirious murmurs. "Hahaha! I've broken through to the ninth rank! This world ultimately belongs to Ling Xu!"

"Qin Lie, do you see this? I'm now the Director-General of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau! You'd better kneel down!"

"Beauties...hehehe, they're all mine..."

Everyone was drawn into a dreamlike world of desire by this strange power.

Jiang Feng's consciousness also began to gradually fade.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in the auditorium of the Century Grand Hotel.

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

The television was broadcasting the news: "The last alien beast on Earth has been destroyed, the abyssal rift has been permanently closed, and humanity has ushered in lasting peace..."

The room was adorned with flowers and filled with distinguished guests.

Li Changsheng, Lin Xing, Xiao Xingye, Qin Lie, and others, all dressed in suits, surrounded him with joyful expressions, making merry.

At the main table, his parents looked at him with loving faces and tears in their eyes.

"Feng'er, you look so handsome today," the mother said gently.

Jiang Feng felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and tranquility welling up inside him.

Just then, the auditorium doors were slowly pushed open.

Shen Weilan, dressed in a snow-white haute couture wedding gown adorned with countless tiny diamonds, walked step by step towards him under the spotlight.

Two beautiful blushes rose on her face, and she lowered her head slightly: "Brother, am I pretty? Today... I'm finally marrying you."

She looked up, her eyes filled with deep affection: "Do you know, I've actually liked you since I was little."

Looking at the beautiful scene before him, Jiang Feng felt a wave of tenderness wash over him, and all his vigilance and defensiveness completely vanished at that moment.

He smiled gently, reached out and cupped Shen Weilan's face, slowly lowered his head, and was about to kiss her soft red lips.

*Smack!!!*

Suddenly, from the depths of my soul.

A roar filled with rage suddenly resounded!

A beeping sound! "Click!"

The roar of the dragon shook the scene so violently that the wedding of the century was instantly covered with countless cracks before it shattered with a deafening crash!

Jiang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his vision instantly returning to clear.

However, the next second, all the hairs on his body stood on end!

Where is he at the Century Hotel?

Before me lay a cold, damp prison cell!

The woman in front of him was not Shen Weilan in a wedding dress at all.

Instead, it was a female corpse hanging by iron chains, half of her face was rotten to the bone, and white maggots were crawling out of her eye sockets and mouth!

"vomit!"

The intense shock and the nauseating stench of the corpse hit me right in the head.

Jiang Feng felt a churning in his stomach, and he staggered back several steps, leaning against the wall and dry heaving several times.

"Splat! Splat!" Dudu's dragon scales stood on end as it roared angrily at its surroundings.

"Oh shit!"

"What the hell is this?!"

Jiang Feng wiped the sour taste from the corner of his mouth, forced himself to suppress his nausea, raised his head, and looked around.

When he saw the scene before him clearly, his pupils shrank instantly, and a chill ran straight to the top of his head!

What kind of black tower is this?

It's clearly a horrific hell!

The interior of the entire black tower is enormous, extending upwards in layers.

As far as the eye could see, the walls were covered with countless cages!

Countless thick chains hung down from the top of the tower, piercing through the collarbones of countless mutated monsters, locking them in mid-air like livestock!

What terrified Jiang Feng even more was that most of these mutated monsters still retained human characteristics!

A monster covered in bone spurs, its face still bearing the innocence of a seven or eight-year-old child. A fleshy ball with the lower half of its body transformed into a spider, but its head belonging to an elderly man with white hair.

And countless adult men and women who were tortured beyond recognition, with all sorts of metal tubes and IV drips inserted into their bodies!

cruel!

tyrannical!

frenzied!

This black tower is essentially a concentration camp used specifically for conducting live human experimentation to deform human bodies!

What inhuman torture did these people endure before they died to be transformed into this state?!

"Damn it! You bastard!!!"

Jiang Feng's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and the anger in his heart erupted.

"Who did this?!"

"These inhuman bastards!"

"Roar!" Seemingly sensing Jiang Feng's aura, a mad monster covered in pustules suddenly broke its chains in a corner not far away.

It has no reason; all that remains in its eyes is the instinct to kill.

"roar!!!"

It was holding a steel pipe in its hand, and like a mad beast, it roared and smashed it down fiercely!

The steel pipe tore through the air, producing a piercing sonic boom.

"Die!"

Jiang Feng neither dodged nor avoided the attack; all the grief and anger in his heart gathered in his right fist.

The Heaven-Burning True Qi was compressed wildly, and wedge-shaped lines instantly covered his cheeks!

"Bang!!!"

He smashed the steel pipe with one punch, and the momentum of his punch continued unabated, slamming hard into the madman's head!

It was accompanied by a dull thud.

The madman's head exploded instantly, and the headless corpse crashed to the ground! Perhaps the Black Tower was too eerie, for a fragment of the monster's obsession from its previous life flashed through Jiang Feng's mind.

Jiang Feng felt a momentary dizziness, and a fragmented memory that did not belong to him suddenly appeared in his mind.

In the video, the madman was originally a professional boxer.

However, fate played a cruel trick on them, and their beloved youngest daughter was diagnosed with a rare terminal illness.

In desperation to raise the exorbitant medical bills, this father ultimately signed a confidentiality agreement, selling himself to a mysterious biotechnology company called "SIP" to undergo a so-called "new human genetic evolution experiment."

The last thing I remember is the cold operating table, the cruel scalpel, and the black viscous fluid forcibly injected into my body...

He watched in despair as he gradually transformed into a monster, and was finally thrown into the Black Tower as a failed piece of trash.

Memories fade away like the tide.

Jiang Feng stood there, panting heavily.

He looked down at the headless corpse on the ground.

Even in death, the madman's large, rough, calloused hand was still clutching a small photograph.

The photo showed a little girl with pigtails and big eyes. Looking at the innocent smile in the photo, and then at the black tower around him that resembled a living hell, Jiang Feng slowly stood up.

He carefully tucked the photo into his pocket, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles turned bluish-white from the force.

"Ding! Congratulations on acquiring a Class A containment object!"

"ap89—'The Madman's Obsession'."
