When Chu Ming opened his eyes, he was already in a white space, surrounded by layers of dense white fog, seemingly endless.

"Such dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power!"

Chu Ming was shocked in his heart. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death was definitely seventy or eighty times denser than the outside world. Cultivating in the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death, his cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than cultivating with top-grade Spirit Stones.

Chu Ming did not stop but flew towards the center of the Fourth Layer. Generally speaking, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in each layer of the Tower of Life and Death radiates from the center to the surroundings. The place where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power is the densest should be in the center.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before long, Chu Ming saw many Transcendence Realm martial artists from the Life and Death Palace, dressed in red robes, sitting quietly on the ground with their eyes closed, cultivating. Terrifying waves of Spiritual Power emanated from their bodies, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power seemed to be drawn in, drilling into their bodies.

"I should be reaching my limit soon!"

Feeling the increasing pressure on his body, Chu Ming thought to himself. In the Tower of Life and Death, the denser the Spiritual Power, the stronger the Heaven and Earth Force that formed in the world. If one could not withstand the Heaven and Earth Force, they would explode and die.

Swoosh!

After flying for a while longer, Chu Ming stopped in an open area and sat quietly on the ground with his eyes closed, cultivating.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power transformed into gigantic dragons, surging into Chu Ming's body, replenishing his Sea of Spiritual Power. Chu Ming's momentum gradually increased. Indeed, the Tower of Life and Death was a good place. Chu Ming secretly calculated that in just a month, he could break through to the Fifth Heaven of the Transcendence Realm.

...

In the blink of an eye, a month passed quietly. At this moment, the number of Spiritual Power dragons above Chu Ming's head increased, forming a tilted Sea of Spiritual Power. The surging Spiritual Power was almost condensed into a liquid, terrifying to the extreme.

Boom!

It was as if a thunderous explosion erupted from within Chu Ming's body, a terrifying momentum bursting out from him, transforming into a startling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.

"Finally, I've reached the Fifth Heaven of the Transcendence Realm!"

As the boiling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in the sky gradually settled, Chu Ming quietly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not stop cultivating. The battle with the demons had shocked him greatly. Even a peak Transcendence Realm expert could easily fall in the face of numerous demons.

Chu Ming continued to immerse himself in deep cultivation. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death was too terrifying. Even if he did not consciously operate his Cultivation Technique to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, the Spiritual Power within his body continued to accumulate at a terrifying speed.

...

During the third month of Chu Ming's closed-door cultivation, the demon race attacked again. This time, their battlefield was in the Western Hundred Domains. This great battle directly spread across half of the Western Hundred Domains, affecting billions of people. Three days later, several regions of the Western Hundred Domains fell, and the Silver Lion Emperor was severely injured, retreating to the Ghost Dance Domain in the Western Hundred Domains.

With the support of Life and Death Realm kings from other regions and the combat prowess of the Silver Lion Emperor himself, the Western Hundred Domains gradually stabilized. Both sides fell into a stalemate.

The demons from the Restricted Area managed to conquer several great domains and heavily injure the Silver Lion Emperor due to taking them by surprise. In terms of true combat power, both sides were evenly matched.

The Life and Death Palace also sent many strong experts to support the Western Hundred Domains. After all, they understood that if one part fell, the rest would too; if one part flourished, the rest would too.

At this time, Chu Ming's cultivation broke through again, reaching the Sixth Heaven of the Transcendence Realm. A terrifying momentum transformed into an astounding vortex, rapidly spreading around.

This time, Chu Ming stopped cultivating and began to deduce the Fourteenth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique. However, even so, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power continued to surge into Chu Ming's body, slowly advancing his cultivation.

If in the past, deducing the Fourteenth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique would have been immensely difficult, even likely to fail. But in the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm, Chu Ming's Soul Power advanced to the Life and Death Realm, condensing a Spirit Body, significantly increasing his comprehension. Now, deducing the Fourteenth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique was much easier.

Nevertheless, Chu Ming still did not know how long it would take to deduce the Fourteenth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique.

...

"Huff, finally, the Seventh Heaven of the Transcendence Realm!"

In a certain place in the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death, a young man in a black robe slowly opened his eyes, and two terrifying lightning bolts instantly streaked across the sky, shooting straight into the heavens, incredibly terrifying.

The young man in the black robe lightly clenched his right hand, feeling the terrifying Spiritual Power fluctuations in his arm, a hint of delight in his eyes.

"With my current combat power, I should be able to defeat Chu Ming, right?"

The young man in the black robe was secretly excited. He stood up from the ground, his gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, hitting the depths of the cosmos directly.

This young man in the black robe was none other than the Snow Demon Immortal!

When he entered the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death, his cultivation had already reached the Fifth Heaven of the Transcendence Realm. After four months of closed-door cultivation, his cultivation reached the Seventh Heaven of the Transcendence Realm.

With the cultivation of the Seventh Heaven of the Transcendence Realm, combined with the Ninth Tribulation of the Undying Nine Tribulation Fist, even a half-step Life and Death Realm king, he had the confidence to fight.

Although the Snow Demon Immortal wanted to continue cultivating, by now, continuing to cultivate in the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death no longer held meaning for him, as his battle sense could no longer keep up with his cultivation. He needed to go out to hone himself.

Swoosh!

The Snow Demon Immortal emerged from seclusion!

He was not the only young hero emerging from seclusion. Many other distinguished youths who had entered for closed-door cultivation also came out of seclusion.

After cultivating in the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death for four months, their cultivation had significantly advanced, with at least an increase of one layer, most having increased by two layers.

However, many young heroes chose to remain in seclusion. After all, Black God had said that if they improved three layers within six months, they would receive a reward of 50,000 Life and Death Points from the Life and Death Palace!

From the Virtual Exchange Hall, they had already realized what an incredible fortune 50,000 Life and Death Points was.

After coming out of seclusion, many young heroes followed the elders of the Life and Death Palace, forming teams to support the Western Hundred Domains, heading to the frontlines of the battle with the demons.

The battle between the demons and the human race had reached a white-hot stage. From time to time, terrifying silhouettes of Life and Death Realm kings flew across the battlefield in the Western Hundred Domains. Some Life and Death Realm kings had already fallen.

In the Fourth Layer of the Tower of Life and Death, in the midst of the silence, Chu Ming quietly deduced the Fourteenth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique, his momentum slowly increasing as well.
