Chapter 1864: Chapter 1856: Better to Accept Than Decline

Seeing Chen Weijian summon the Hundred-Change Demon Armor and urge him to strike, Huang Xiaolong calmly replied, "In that case, I shall oblige."

Huang Xiaolong activated his Demon God Supreme Divine Status, unleashing a terrifying surge of Supreme Demon Power. As his Supreme Demon Power erupted, a piercing wail resonated in the surrounding space.

This sound only manifests when magic power reaches an extraordinary level.

At the same time, inside Huang Xiaolong, it seemed as if thousands of chaotic giant demons awoke, transforming his entire being. His eyes flickered with demon light, magic power enveloping the heavens and the earth.

Chen Weijian, Xing Yinuo, and Qin Hongbao were startled.

It was then that Huang Xiaolong moved, suddenly throwing a punch straight towards Chen Weijian’s chest.

The trio watched as Huang Xiaolong’s fist erupted with astonishing demon flames.

As Huang Xiaolong punched, the space instantly collapsed, creating a massive black hole.

Carrying this massive black hole, Huang Xiaolong’s punch landed forcefully on Chen Weijian’s chest.

Feeling the earth-shattering power of Huang Xiaolong’s punch, Chen Weijian’s calm expression finally changed drastically. But at this moment, evading was impossible; he could only desperately activate the Hundred-Change Demon Armor’s demon formation.

"Hundred-Change Demon Array! Open for me!" he roared furiously.

Countless demon lights immediately burst forth like a dam breaking.

The demon formations on the armor spun up, layer upon layer of defense expanded instantly.

Boom!

Huang Xiaolong’s punch struck the Hundred-Change Demon Armor, causing the layers of defense to shatter instantly like rotten wood, completely collapsing!

One demon formation after another was hit by Huang Xiaolong’s amazing fist power, directly ceasing operation.

Huang Xiaolong’s fist power easily penetrated the armor, blasting into Chen Weijian’s chest.

The sound of bones cracking rang out constantly like fireworks.

Chen Weijian screamed miserably, his body flung high and far from the two hundred twenty-two steps, eventually crashing down at the foot of the mountain.

"Bang!"

A loud crash echoed from the mountainside.

Chen Weijian’s screams of agony continued to reverberate in the sky.

Huang Xiaolong withdrew his hand, his aura contained, with the demon light within him completely restrained, as if he were an ordinary young man who had never struck before.

Just then, a curse formed by demonic qi shaped into a runic symbol and instantly entered Huang Xiaolong’s body. This was a demon curse, a punishment from the Demon Tower for those who strike inside.

Regarding this demon curse, Huang Xiaolong didn’t mind it at all. With his current foundation, he could easily dispel this curse without leaving any consequences.

He didn’t spare a glance at Chen Weijian lying motionless at the foot of the mountain, lifting his feet to continue climbing to the summit. The delay had cost some time, though not much, he needed to speed up.

The faster he passed each level, the more and purer the magic power rewards would be.

Standing on the twenty-sixth and twentieth steps at the foot of the mountain, Xing Yinuo and Qin Hongbao gazed blankly at Huang Xiaolong’s back disappearing towards the summit, their bodies stiffened, without the slightest reaction for a long time.

Not until Huang Xiaolong reached the three hundred steps did the two react to what had just occurred.

Watching Chen Weijian lying at the foot of the mountain, motionless, Xing Yinuo’s chest heaved, as if something restless jumped inside, her cherry lips slightly parted: "Just now, just now, just now!"

For the first time, she found expressing herself so difficult.

Qin Hongbao’s eyes were filled with extraordinary fear, seemingly unable to pull himself out from the previous scene.

The moment had etched deeply into the recesses of his soul, a scene never to be erased from his life.

After a while longer, the two finally woke up, took out their tokens, and reported the events of the second level to the sect outside.

"What?! Chen Weijian was blasted away with a single punch!"

Seeing the contents of Xing Yinuo’s token, the ancestors of the Xingtian Sect stood stunned and speechless.

As the exclamations spread among the Xingtian Sect, the Chiyou Demon Sect ancestors quickly transmitted the news, causing an explosion of astonishment on the square. Even the elders of the Hundred Transformation Demon Sect were shocked, but although shocked, their expressions turned ugly, eyes developing intense killing intent, showing anxiety and discomfort.

Outside circumstances, Huang Xiaolong had no knowledge of, but a few minutes later, he reached the four hundred steps where he stopped to rest and recover his divine power.

Due to the second level’s added gravity, his divine power consumption increased significantly.

After half an hour, Huang Xiaolong resumed running upwards, maintaining a constant speed, three steps per second.

At the eight hundred step mark, Huang Xiaolong stopped again for rest and recovery.

The second level’s steps were two thousand, double that of the first level.

Therefore, when Huang Xiaolong reached the second-level peak, it took roughly three hours.

As Huang Xiaolong set foot on the second-level summit, like the first level, a void opened, pouring down countless demon lights.

This time, the demon lights poured down for six hours, twice the amount as the first level.

Huang Xiaolong discovered, having undergone the demon light’s tempering and baptism of the second level, his strength had astonishingly improved to the Heavenly Monarch Eighth Stage Early Peak.

Meanwhile, the Demon God Supreme Divine Status and Blood Eye Demon Tablet radiated brilliantly, the Blood Eye’s glow grew more intense.

After halting for several breaths, Huang Xiaolong started striding into the third-level entrance, causing the third level’s demon light to flicker endlessly, shocking the experts around the square.

"In just over ten hours, he passed through two levels!" Demon Lord Xingtian marveled at the dazzling demon light of the third level.

Subtracting the time for the demon light body forging, it only took four hours?

Four hours!

Thinking of this, even as the head of the Twelve Demon Venerables, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of amazement.

Time flew.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

After more than a month, Huang Xiaolong stepped into the entrance of the ninth level.

With each ascending level in the Demon Tower, additional resistance piled up, like the second level’s gravity, while the third level added thunder punishment on top of gravity, and the fourth level included divine soul attacks over gravity and thunder punishment, while the fifth level added poison fog on gravity, thunder punishment, and divine soul attacks.

Moreover, with each ascending level, the peak became increasingly steep, and each level added a thousand more steps.

As Huang Xiaolong ventured into the ninth level, observing the towering giant peak before him, despite being prepared mentally, he inhaled sharply. The giant peak was completely vertical, from base to summit, without a hint of slope, and the entire peak resembled a mirror, extremely smooth, reflecting mesmerizing light.

Huang Xiaolong swallowed.

Imagining under the constant bombardments of space power, chaos law power, gravity, thunder punishment, divine soul attack, poison fog, sea of fire, ice and snow, sword array, etc., climbing this straight and extraordinarily smooth giant peak, what kind of scene would that be?

It’s feared that countless evil geniuses couldn’t stand firmly on the first step.
