CHAPTER 434: CHAPTER 433 GIANT BEAST_1

With a flip of his hand, Yan Xiang drew out a specially refined talisman. Crushing it in his palm, an invisible wave spread out into the surrounding Void.

Simultaneously, in three different areas within the Sky Demon Tower, individuals sensed the disturbance, Jade Talismans materializing in their hands.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The sound of rending air echoed as Experts from the Green-faced Demon Sect, Bull Demon Sect, and Leopard Demon Sect took flight, disappearing into the depths of the Darkness.

Undercurrents surged; countless crises targeted Ling Chen.

However, at this point, Ling Chen was oblivious to these events. He had dealt with Hu Xiong and reached the fourth floor.

The space on the fourth floor was noticeably more oppressive than the previous three, burdened with immense pressure, akin to carrying a heavy load.

The air here was incredibly viscous, sticking to the skin like saliva.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Heavy thuds echoed from the ground. Ling Chen followed the sound with his gaze and saw a gigantic Demon Shadow approaching him.

The Demon Shadow in sight was strikingly akin to a hellish Devil—six arms extending from its body, each holding an incredibly sharp Long Knife.

The Sky Demon Tower was a melting pot, filled with various Demonic Will Remnants. All sorts of Evil Spirits lived here, in unimaginable forms.

Gazing at the demonic will composite before him, he couldn’t name it. He could only sense an aura of wickedness, chilling cold, and bloodlust emanating from it.

This demonic will composite had already achieved the Cultivation of The Master of the Sixth Realm.

Pushing his Sword Intent to its limits, Ling Chen stepped forward, his body moving as if teleporting, appearing behind the demonic will composite.

Easily slaughtering this Demon Soul, he raced toward the fifth floor at his fastest pace.

「The fifth floor.」

「The sixth floor.」

「The seventh floor.」

HUM... HUM... HUM...

Fewer and fewer names remained on the Devil Scroll. Many had perished, while others had voluntarily abandoned the trial; either way, their names were ultimately erased from the Devil Scroll.

「The eighth floor of the Sky Demon Tower.」

The air here was incredibly dense, slowing Ling Chen’s movements considerably. As the tower floors ascended, the Demonic Will Remnants here also grew far more powerful.

The Demonic Will Remnants here, in their lifetimes, were all Great Master Seventh Realm, or even Eighth Level Supreme Demonic Grandmasters. Despite being reduced to a single strand of will, they twisted, fermented, and fused in this place. Their final strength might not be weaker than when they were alive; it might even surpass their original Cultivation.

Here, Ling Chen had to be cautious and prudent with every step.

The dark tower floor was eerily quiet, as if void of any sound.

ROAR!

A sudden, inexplicable roar broke the silence. A black tendril shot out from the Darkness, lashing towards Ling Chen’s body.

DING!

Ling Chen blocked it with his sword held behind him. The tendril grazed the edge of the blade, bright, dazzling sparks flying.

"What on earth is this thing?"

Ling Chen furrowed his brows. From the contact just now, he could feel an endless, powerful force emanating from the Demon Shadow. He couldn’t probe its depths.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, two more tendrils shot out, trying to ensnare Ling Chen. But within moments, they were completely avoided. As Ling Chen’s foot tapped lightly, he closed the distance to the Demon Shadow. Only then did he discover a monstrous black beast before him, its sprawling, octopus-like limbs stretching towards the sky, obscuring the sun and creating a formidable, dense sight.

"Such a huge form."

Ling Chen was taken aback. In the Sky Demon Tower, the larger the body, the greater the amount of demonic will it possessed. This Demon Soul was easily ten or twenty times larger than an ordinary one; it was terrifying.

If I kill this demonic will composite, my points ranking might even break into the top three.

A fiery glint surfaced in Ling Chen’s eyes as killing intent began to brew and stir within him. However, he remained very calm. Facing this Demon Clan member, he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Sky-filling tendrils shot towards Ling Chen like a rainstorm, enveloping him.

His body incredibly nimble, Ling Chen dodged all the incoming tendril attacks while relentlessly advancing. In an instant, he had reached the giant beast.

SQUELCH!

The Thunder Shadow Sword pierced into the black beast’s body. Viscous black fluid gushed out, dyeing the blade of the Thunder Shadow Sword pitch-black.

Even as Ling Chen landed his hit, his mind was immediately invaded by a powerful strand of demonic will. This demonic will struggled against his own will, seemingly trying to taint it.

"Suppress it!"

Ling Chen pushed his Willpower to its limits. He roared, and the attributes of his Sword Intent fully erupted, directly scattering the invasive demonic will. After suppressing the invading demonic will, an unprecedented enlightenment rose from within his body.

Pierced by Ling Chen’s sword, the black beast howled towards the sky like a wounded giant wolf. Its shrill, piercing cry sent out shockwaves that caused many nearby Demon Souls to explode and evaporate.

"Not good!"

Almost in an instant, Ling Chen retracted the Thunder Shadow Sword. His strike had absorbed considerable power, and his Sword Intent had also improved, benefiting him greatly.

However, the giant beast was enraged, its power immense. Within the core of this demonic will composite, Ling Chen seemed to see a furnace-like object. It abruptly burst open, and countless deep-seated powers surged out like a collapsing dam. Before it, his own power felt like a lone boat in a hurricane.

Ling Chen’s face turned pale; he felt as though his body was about to be shattered by the black giant beast’s onslaught.

I underestimated the power of this black giant beast. Sent flying back over ten meters, Ling Chen knew immediately that this black giant beast was not something he could contend with.

Its power core is that furnace-like thing where the Energy spurted out. If I can destroy it, I should be able to completely eliminate this Exotic Beast.

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed as a new plan formed in his mind. Dense electricity surged onto the Thunder Shadow Sword in his hand, weaving into an intricate lattice.

WHOOSH!

Only an afterimage remained where Ling Chen had stood, slowly dissipating. Ling Chen had already appeared in a different location. Within a breath or two, he moved rapidly again, his Thunder Shadow Sword unleashing its fury, slicing the tendrils in two, one after another.

After being severed, the tendrils twitched on the ground a few times before finally quieting down and dissipating.

Targeting the black giant beast’s core, Ling Chen, alone with his sword, shot forward like a meteor, his eyes filled with clarity.

All tendril attacks were dodged by Ling Chen. Finally, a Sword Light descended from the sky, accurately piercing the very center of the black beast’s back.
