Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 143 - 139: Will Level Body Technique

As Wang Xu continued his journey, the difficulty of the Heaven-Reaching Tower began to increase dramatically.

Rumble~

The celestial ladder made of bluestone broke through the ground, Wang Xu’s face was pale, and his body was already covered with messy bloodstains.

"Pass through the eighty-first level, and you may choose a superior secret technique." A sacred voice echoed, and a golden scroll unfurled before Wang Xu. Unlike before, the reward this time was a secret technique.

Cosmic secret techniques are divided into four levels: "ordinary," "superior," "celestial god," and "perfect." All the secret techniques Wang Xu practiced before were just ordinary, except for the "Formless Giant Power," which was a superior secret technique.

Ordinary secret techniques are the most common in the universe, widely spread, and generally practiced by most cosmic martial artists.

Superior secret techniques are rare, passed down through tribes and owned by great powers, not widely spread in the universe and of great value.

Celestial secret techniques, as the name implies, are passed down by celestial gods, and their rarity and strength far exceed superior secret techniques.

As for perfect secret techniques, they integrate true cosmic laws, with laws revolving in their every move, possessing unparalleled strength.

"Formless Giant Power" is merely a technique to enhance physical strength, but Wang Xu needs a truly powerful sword technique secret technique.

"I choose this one." Wang Xu pointed to a place on the golden scroll and said.

The golden scroll flashed brilliantly and then transformed into a square stone block, flying to land in Wang Xu’s hand.

"Sword Unrivaled."

Clearly, this is a secret technique crafted for Sword Warriors, which also evoked Wang Xu’s memories of the "Sword Romance."

Wang Xu did not rush to ascend the celestial ladder but sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the "Sword Unrivaled" secret technique. A vast amount of information and images transferred from the square stone block to his mind.

"Everything can be cut, only the unrivaled not to be cut!" These words echoed thunderously in Wang Xu’s mind.

Two hours later... Wang Xu opened his eyes, stood up, and walked toward the eighty-second level.

Every level of the Heaven-Reaching Tower has a time limit, not allowing anyone to stay in one level for more than five hours. Wang Xu had used up all his time sitting there, either having to move to the next level or be directly expelled from the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

The surrounding scene transformed again, Wang Xu’s full strength gradually restored.

"Screech—"

Upon entering, a distant white cloud transformed into a massive fiery red Peng bird, a colossal body unfolded its wings, shrouding the sky and earth, much like the "Kunpeng" of ancient Earth mythology, letting out a resounding call.

With just one glance, Wang Xu’s face immediately showed difficulty.

An initial black hole level star giant beast!

If it were an ordinary initial black hole level, Wang Xu could crush it with ease, but here in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, all star giant beasts possess true strength two levels higher than they appear!

In other words, this gigantic fiery red Peng bird has strength equivalent to the strongest black hole level being!

The fiery red Peng bird flew in swift assault, like a blaze of fiery red light, extremely fast, appearing before Wang Xu in a mere blink. Then two massive flaming Peng claws pressed down toward Wang Xu!

Wang Xu was shocked, this fiery red Peng bird already possessed a minor will, and the power it exerted could rival an average great will!

The closer an existence is to the universe, the stronger its heaven and earth will.

Wang Xu drew out the white jade long saber, charging fearlessly, dazzling light bursting forth on the white jade long saber, like a white laser piercing the sky, clashing violently with the flaming Peng claws!

Boom~~

The surrounding ground shattered, trembling violently, the fiery red Peng bird let out a sharp cry, retreating.

Meanwhile, Wang Xu spewed a mouthful of blood, crashing into the ground like a cannonball, his expression instantly becoming extremely grim.

Power equivalent to the strongest black hole level is simply too overpowering; even with great will and defensive immortal divine soldiers, Wang Xu was still no match for the fiery red Peng bird.

"Again!" Despite being at a disadvantage, Wang Xu showed no sign of cowardice.

A genius is not forged through shortcuts or smooth paths; they require setbacks, the terror between life and death, to push their potential to the limits.

A strong person is not someone with overwhelming strength who can oppress the weak, but someone with the heart of a strong person, the belief of a strong person, the will of a strong person!

Clang~

At this point, Wang Xu no longer intended to hold back. His spiritual consciousness surged forth, transforming into a long saber, fiercely attacking the fiery red Peng bird.

However, Wang Xu’s spiritual consciousness attack was too limited, unable to greatly impact the fiery red Peng bird comparable to the strongest black hole level, only able to momentarily slow it down.

That alone was enough.

In a battle at the extreme, a momentary delay can often determine life and death.

The fiery red Peng bird launched another ferocious attack, opening its giant beak, suddenly generating a vast gravitational force, causing Wang Xu to feel the temperature around him plummet. Inside the fiery red Peng bird’s mouth, a bright fireball gradually formed.

At this moment, Wang Xu had just arrived. The Fiery Red Peng Bird was jolted by the sudden spiritual sense attack, its movements stopped. Wang Xu immediately dragged out a gentle glow, and the White Jade Long Saber seemed carved from luminous pearls, emitting a scorching light.

Whoosh! A fireball roared toward him, and Wang Xu faced it head-on, breaking the massive fireball with the White Jade Long Saber in his hand, instantly appearing before the Fiery Red Peng Bird.

"Unrivaled Dragon Slash!" With a furious shout, a dragon’s shadow suddenly appeared on the White Jade Long Saber, faintly emitting roars, and then it crashed down onto the forehead of the Fiery Red Peng Bird!

This was the First Realm of "Sword Unrivaled". Although Wang Xu had not fully mastered it, it could double his attack strength.

Boom!

The massive body of the Fiery Red Peng Bird crashed to the ground, causing an intense earthquake, the earth shattered in all directions, and a ferocious wound opened on its forehead, with blood gushing out relentlessly.

"Screech!" The Fiery Red Peng Bird was not dead, only slightly injured, and roared in extreme anger. It opened its mouth, and a terrifying suction emerged as a fireball again appeared in its mouth and flew toward Wang Xu.

Wang Xu withdrew to dodge, the edge of the fireball grazing his arm. The Defensive Immortal Divine Soldiers weakened most of the attack, but the intensity of this assault still injured Wang Xu.

The Fiery Red Peng Bird took to the sky again, swinging its massive Peng claws, charging directly.

Wang Xu struggled to hold his ground, retreating step by step under the Fiery Red Peng Bird’s assault.

......

"This Tower challenge can probably only end here." Wang Xu kept defending against the Fiery Red Peng Bird’s attacks. The Fiery Red Peng Bird was far too powerful, and choosing to clash head-on would only put Wang Xu at a disadvantage. If Wang Xu didn’t choose to give up, he’d have to endure the Fiery Red Peng Bird’s attacks until death.

The Heaven-Reaching Tower was not virtual; everything was real. Once an intruder dies, they would truly be buried here. However, most disciples would immediately choose to give up upon sensing danger, and that sacred voice would directly transport them to the entrance, allowing them to avoid disaster.

"Forget it, there’s only five hours on this level anyway. I’ll just endure this time and come back for its life during the next challenge!" Immediately, Wang Xu decided to endure the five-hour time limit before leaving the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

So, Wang Xu kept evading and maneuvering under the Fiery Red Peng Bird’s attacks, without any intention of counterattacking, purely choosing to defend.

After maintaining this state for a while—

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Wang Xu sensed something different.

From initially difficult resistance to now, Wang Xu found himself increasingly clear and insightful of the Fiery Red Peng Bird’s assaults, even able to predict from which angle and direction its next blow would come.

This realization brought a hint of joy to Wang Xu’s face, and he continued to maneuver around the Fiery Red Peng Bird.

Until then... when the Fiery Red Peng Bird’s massive Peng claws came crashing down, Wang Xu’s mind suddenly brightened, as if a box long sealed was now exposed to the light. Wang Xu swiftly stepped to the right.

Boom~

The giant Peng claws crashed to the ground, tearing it apart.

But Wang Xu’s face was filled with ecstatic joy!

"Will Level Body Technique... it turned out to be a Will Level Body Technique!" Wang Xu was shocked internally.

Every strike from the Fiery Red Peng Bird contained small will, making will attacks unavoidable, which was why Wang Xu had been constantly enduring them. But with this strike, the Peng claws missed, clearly showing that Wang Xu had taken a step into the Will Level and thoroughly mastered the Will Level Body Technique!

The Fiery Red Peng Bird screeched toward the sky, not caring whether Wang Xu had grasped the Will Level Body Technique, and frenziedly attacked him.

Wang Xu took a deep breath and shifted, passing by the Peng claws!

Seeing this, Wang Xu was completely convinced, a smile breaking on his lips.

"I’ve been stifled for so long, and I can finally reclaim everything from you!"

......

There’s no need to say much about the ensuing battle. With the mastery of the Will Level Body Technique, Wang Xu could dodge the Fiery Red Peng Bird’s attacks. Unless the Fiery Red Peng Bird could comprehend the Great Will, it was merely a moving target before Wang Xu, entirely crushed! freewebnσvel.cøm

But soon, before long, Wang Xu’s figure suddenly appeared at the entrance to the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

A red light flashed from the window of the ninety-ninth floor.

Wang Xu’s face was pale, residual fear lingering in his eyes. After entering the ninety-ninth floor, a blue-clothed man wielding a white long staff attacked, and with just a casual glance, Wang Xu was frightened enough to immediately cry out to give up.

Too terrifying.

Wang Xu could feel the vast, boundless power completely enveloping him. In front of it, Wang Xu felt incredibly insignificant, the gap between them more like the difference between day and night.

"Ninety-ninth floor, more formidable than I imagined." Upon emerging, Wang Xu encountered Senior Brother Qing Ku sitting cross-legged in suspension at the entrance.

Senior Brother Qing Ku had initially failed on the ninety-first floor during his first attempt in the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

He initially thought Wang Xu wouldn’t surpass him, yet unexpectedly, the ninety-first floor flashed golden light—he had passed through it.

Wang Xu smiled lightly—it was entirely thanks to the Will Level Body Technique that he managed to reach the ninety-ninth floor.

"Let’s go, the designated day is coming soon, let’s go back and prepare." Wang Xu and Senior Brother Qing Ku ascended into the air, flying toward the Cyan Yang Hall.
