Shen Tian quickly got bored of the second floor, so he told his friends that he was leaving for the third floor, His friends nodded and stood up, wishing to follow him. "We we"ll come with you, there isn"t really much for us to do here anymore. We won"t gain be able to gain more benefits from being here anyway." Feng Hao spoke for the group.The Demon Lord knitted his eyebrows. It didn"t take long for him to also head towards the third floor, and it wasn"t long before he was promptly followed by the other members of the younger generation. The Demon Lord had wanted to be the first to enter the third floor, but the appearance of Shen Tian completely messed up his plans.
Compared to the first two floors, the third floor was far smaller. It was only a few meters in diameter, but contained a raw, wild feeling that the other two floors lacked,capable of suffocating others. The roars of a demon beast could be heard as Shen Tian"s eyes brightened. "A Celestial Qilin, huh. Unfortunately, it"d be useless for me or any of my people, and I have better Demon Spirits than it. Perhaps another person will be fated to get it."
"Well little Qilin, it seems that this is your lucky day, as I shall not bother to kill you. Just let me enter the fourth floor." Shen Tian said, making Xiao Ning"er and most people in his group get silent and speechless, all but the Chaos Emperor. The Spiritual G.o.d Of Chaos raised an eyebrow,"What? I don"t see anything wrong with what that brat has said."
"What did you say?! Human, be careful of what you say… otherwise, do not blame this elder for being ruthless! I might have yet to reach adulthood, but I do not believe I am not capable of killing a brat like you." The Celestial Qilin was clearly offended, as it unleashed its raw pressure on Shen Tian and the rest.
"I can see that you are being annoyed by those chains which tie you down. A Celestial Qilin is considered something heavenly, but you are condemned to serve here as a guard to the third floor of the Black Infernal Tower until the end of time, destined for nothing great on this life and world." Shen Tian chuckled, angering the Celestial Qilin even further.
Shen Tian"s lips curled, as he added more injury to the insult, "Or perhaps… You don"t even have the power to destroy those chains. Here I thought Celestial Qilins were extremely powerful Instead I, have been utterly disappointed. Those chains look so weak, I bet I could destroy them myself!"
Not bothering to continue anymore, Shen Tian led his group to the fourth floor, ignoring the Celestial Qilin"s rampages. Although it tried to stop them, it could not pierce the barrier Shen Tian had created to protect him and the rest. The Celestial Qilin was slammed to a corner by the barrier, and was engulfed by a blurred vision and pain.
By the time it had recovered, Shen Tian and the rest were nowhere to be seen, and it could only release roar after roar in frustration. The Celestial Qilin was truly angered;even though it had been chained down here, it had never treated with so much disrespect before!
Before the group reached the next floor, Shen Tian froze and raised his head, his eyes narrowing. He had just noticed that they were being observed so he waved his hand, and the method the observer had used to spy on him and the rest was immediately blocked.
Jing Ye started to take deep breaths. As he no longer could absorb the black flames, he instead he started to feel discomfort from the black flames surrounding him. He sighed, and said," I cannot continue anymore, I have absorbed too much of the black flames. I shall stop here and solidify my cultivation. You all should continued even without me."
Jian Yu was in no way in a better shape than Jing Ye, his face was covered in sweat, and several veins had begun to pop out of his forehead, his complexion was red. " I"m sorry to say this, but similarly to Jing Ye, I don"t think I can continue on further I spent to much energy on the lower floors, I shall stay here with Jing Ye and solidify my cultivation, and attain the mental state."
Xiao Ning"er smiled weakly. " I can still continue, but I think the next floor will be my limit." Shen Tian nodded,Feng Hao groaned," I think the next floor is also my upper limit, I will stop there with Xiao Ning"er and attain the mental state required to pa.s.s this test given to us by the Nether Master."
Shen Tian looked at the Chaos Emperor, who actually puffed his chest slightly higher and let out a chuckle,"It seems after the next floor, only you and I shall remain in the Black Infernal Tower from our group. Let"s strive for the highest floor my friend! Muahaha! This majesty is interested in this!" He said.
The others looked at disbelief as Shen Tian, the Chaos Emperor, Xiao Ning"er, and Feng Hao continued to climb the floors, taking the steps upward without much difficulty, while Nie Li soon followed afterwards. Compared to the rest, he was clearly struggling more than the Chaos Emperor or Shen Tian, but less than Xiao Ning"er or Feng Hao.
It did not take long for him to reach the fifth floor of the Black Infernal Tower. Only the Demon Lord was there, making it the perfect chance for Shen Tian to make his move. It would take Nie Li a few minutes to arrive here, so when the Demon Lord made contact with Shen Tian"s eyes, he was sent to a different dimension.
The two did not maintain eye contact for a very long time. Both Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami had already pierced the depth Demon Lord"s soul. Nie Li finally arrived at the chamber of the fifth floor. He knitted his eyebrows upon seeing that there were still quite a decent amount of people here.
