Chapter 1858: Chapter 1850: Demon Tower Ascension Begins

Watching Chen Weijian and the various elders of the Hundred Transformation Demon Sect leave, Xing Yinuo spoke up: "Father, are we really not going to seize that Holy Demon Water?"

Her initial plan had been to join forces with Chen Weijian.

Xingtian smiled. "The Holy Demon Water is indeed tempting, but you also have to see whose hands it’s in right now. I do want those hundred drops of Holy Demon Water, but if we’re not confident, why bother taking action?"

Xing Yinuo and the Xingtian Sect Ancestors were all greatly shocked.

Could it be that even Xingtian, the foremost among the Twelve Demon Venerables, had no confidence?

"Father, is the power at that black-haired young man’s side really that strong?" Xing Yinuo asked, somewhat in disbelief.

Xingtian’s expression was solemn. "Very strong."

Only two words, yet they made all the Xingtian Sect Ancestors’ hearts sink.

"Father, have you already figured out that black-haired young man’s background?" Xing Yinuo asked. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Xingtian shook his head. "I still don’t dare be sure. I only have some guesses. But whether it’s him or not, we should find out very soon."

The Xingtian Sect Ancestors all looked at one another.

"It’s just, Father, even if we don’t make a move, I’m afraid Stone Ape Demon Venerable and Kuang Lei Demon Venerable will definitely try to snatch it." Xing Yinuo said.

"All these years, Stone Ape and Kuang Lei have been stuck at Great Emperor Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak, unable to surpass the Great Emperor realm and achieve Supreme Sovereign. They’ve already lost their original hearts." Demon Lord Xingtian shook his head. "But even if they join forces, in the end they’ll only suffer for it."

"Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore." Xingtian changed the subject and asked Xing Yinuo, "Nuo’er, this opening of the Demon Tower is a once‑in‑ten‑thousand‑years opportunity. When the time comes, you must climb with all your strength and try to reach as high as possible."

"Father, don’t worry, I will." Xing Yinuo nodded heavily.

"According to your own estimation, which floor do you think you can climb to?" Xingtian asked.

Xing Yinuo thought for a moment, then said, "The Seventh Level is absolutely no problem. As for the Eighth Level, I’m fifty percent confident. But the Ninth Level—difficult!"

Since Wutian Demon Ancestor, no one had ever managed to reach the Ninth Level. Even though Xing Yinuo considered her own talent very high, and knew she was one of the Demon Domain’s three great prodigies, she had absolutely no confidence in it—not even the slightest.

Demon Lord Xingtian sighed. "Yes, the Ninth Level, how incredibly difficult."

Back then, he too had climbed the Demon Tower, but had stopped at the Eighth Level, and even reaching the Eighth Level had taken tremendous effort.

"But this time, it’s not impossible that someone might climb to the Ninth Level." Suddenly, Xingtian’s tone changed as he spoke.

The Xingtian Sect Ancestors were startled.

"Lord Demon Venerate, you mean that this time Li Wei Jian will be able to reach the Ninth Level?" The Xingtian Sect Ancestor Li Yu couldn’t help asking.

Unexpectedly, Xingtian shook his head. "Li Wei Jian’s talent might be a tiny bit higher than Nuo’er’s, but at most he can only reach the Eighth Level. The Ninth Level is impossible for him."

The Xingtian Sect Ancestors were stunned. They had originally thought Demon Lord Xingtian was talking about Li Wei Jian.

"Father, could it be that among the younger generation of our Demon Domain there’s someone with even higher talent than Li Wei Jian?" Xing Yinuo was also puzzled.

Xingtian smiled, his smile full of mystery. "When the Demon Tower opens, you’ll know."

Seeing this, everyone from the Xingtian Sect grew even more curious about who exactly Demon Lord Xingtian was talking about.

However, in Xing Yinuo’s mind, the silhouette of that black-haired young man suddenly surfaced. Could it be him? But she immediately shook her head in denial. That should be impossible.

More than an hour later, however, Li Wei Jian was walking out from the separate halls of Stone Ape Demon Venerable and Kuang Lei Demon Venerable with a face full of smiles.

Just now, he had already reached an agreement with the two.

From this moment on, the three sides would gather all forces they could mobilize and rope in all possible Sect powers. After half a day they would assemble, and then take action!

Half a day quickly passed.

The three sides of the Hundred Transformation Demon Sect, Demon Ape Sect, and Thunder Beast Valley, along with all the forces they had roped in, were assembled.

With Stone Ape Demon Venerable and Kuang Lei Demon Venerable personally speaking up, more than thirty Demon Domain Super Forces, such as the Black Killing Demon Sect and Exquisite Sea City, had been drawn in, and they were all among the top hundred forces in the Demon Domain.

However, just as Chen Weijian, Stone Ape Demon Venerable, Kuang Lei Demon Venerable and the others were leading their people toward the courtyard where Huang Xiaolong was, the entire Eternal Demon City suddenly shook.

The whole Eternal Demon City felt as if someone had lifted it up and given it a shake.

Chen Weijian and the others were stunned.

Then they saw rays of strange light constantly shooting up to the sky from the northern side of Eternal Demon City, piercing straight into the Nine Heavens and stirring the layers of Demon Cloud above the city.

"This is—?!" Chen Weijian was dumbfounded, then his face filled with wild joy. "The Demon Tower has opened!"

Indeed, it was the opening of the Demon Tower. At this moment, the light triggered by the opening of the Demon Tower could be clearly seen by all experts throughout Eternal Demon City, and the city instantly boiled over.

Immediately, countless experts of the Demon Clan scrambled to fly toward the Demon Tower.

"Senior Stone Ape, Senior Kuang Lei, the Demon Tower has opened. We can only settle that kid after the Demon Tower is over." Chen Weijian turned his head and said to Stone Ape Demon Venerable and Kuang Lei Demon Venerable.

The two nodded.

"That’s fine. We’ll tidy that kid up after the Demon Tower." Stone Ape Demon Venerable could only say.

With the Demon Tower appearing, no one had the mood for anything else, so they could only wait until after the Demon Tower.

Thus, Chen Weijian and the others turned around and all flew toward the Demon Tower.

With the Demon Tower opening, Gao Changran and Wang Fanning were both extremely excited, but at this time Huang Xiaolong was still refining the Holy Demon Water, so while they were excited, they were even more anxious.

After one night, Huang Xiaolong finally stopped his Cultivation. As soon as he stepped out, Gao Changran and Wang Fanning hurried forward to report the matter of the Demon Tower to Huang Xiaolong.

"The Demon Tower has opened." Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Right after Your Majesty went into seclusion to Cultivate yesterday, the Demon Tower opened. Now almost all the experts in Eternal Demon City have flocked to the Demon Tower." Gao Changran said anxiously. "I heard that just an hour ago, Chen Weijian had already climbed to the Second Level."

Huang Xiaolong nodded. "This Chen Weijian’s talent is indeed not bad."

Huang Xiaolong knew a bit about the Demon Tower. To reach the Second Level within a single day—very few people had done that in hundreds of billions of years.

Seeing that Huang Xiaolong still looked completely calm, Gao Changran couldn’t help but give a wry smile. It really was a case of the emperor not being anxious, but the eunuchs being anxious.

"Your Majesty, shall we head over now as well?" Gao Changran asked.

"Let’s go then." Seeing how anxious Gao Changran was, Huang Xiaolong smiled. "Don’t worry. Chen Weijian’s talent may be good, but relying on him, he still won’t be able to reach the Ninth Level."

A few hours later.

The towering Demon Tower that pierced the clouds was in sight.

All around the Demon Tower was a vast, pitch-black sea. The waves in the sea rose and fell endlessly. Looking closely, this black sea was in fact formed by the powerhouses of all sides of the Demon Clan encircling the Demon Tower.

Just as Gao Changran had said, almost all the experts in Eternal Demon City had rushed over.

For latecomers like Huang Xiaolong, if they belonged to a Sect with weaker backing, it would be impossible to even get close to the Demon Tower.

Without slowing his pace, Huang Xiaolong flew straight over everyone’s heads together with the Four Unlikes.
