Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

"Is that... the Destruction Tower Master?"

In Chen Ku’s eyes, the figure of a man wearing a scholar’s long robe, standing with his hands behind his back, with features as delicate as a painting, exuding a scholarly aura in every gesture, was reflected.

Although he had vaguely seen the image of the Destruction Tower Master before in the inheritance of Iron Tree Flowering, seeing him in person felt quite different to Chen Ku.

After all, given the Destruction Tower Master’s philosophy of destroying methods and entering the Dao with the physical body as a cornerstone, combined with the physique and aura of the four true disciples of Destruction Tower who just appeared, it was evident that the whole Destruction Tower was characterized by a rugged image.

He truly did not expect that the master of the first Destruction Tower of Dragon Abyss Nine Provinces would be such a gentle and refined man.

"Subordinate, disciple... pay respects to the Tower Master/Teacher..."

Almost the moment the Destruction Tower Master appeared, Murong Cheng and the four great true disciples surrounding Hua Yuexian all appeared behind the blue-robed scholar simultaneously.

Seeing this, Chen Ku, after a brief thought, also stepped forward to salute the scholar:

"Uninitiated disciple Chen Ku, greets the Tower Master!"

After all, he had not yet officially received the status of a true disciple of the Destruction Tower, so he could only address him in this manner for now.

The Destruction Tower Master glanced at Chen Ku, nodded, and said, "This is not yet the time for us as master and disciple to exchange formalities."

Then, he turned to the four disciples and Murong Cheng and said:

"You should retreat first. This outstanding disciple of the Fighting God Palace is not someone you can contend with. Throughout the entire Destruction Tower, including me, there are perhaps only three people who can suppress him, so let me try to persuade him to leave."

As he finished speaking.

He turned his gaze to Hua Yuexian, smiling faintly, and said:

"Hua, allow me to exchange a few moves with you. If you lose, leave quickly and do not harbor any more intentions towards this junior disciple of mine. Can you agree to that?"

Hua Yuexian let his hands hang naturally at his sides. His tall, long figure, dressed in white, gave off an air akin to a heavenly god, and he responded with a light smile:

"Senior Duan Xiaolou, I had long heard of you and Li Shentong being known as the ’Two Extremes’ in the Dragon Abyss, each standing at the pinnacle in Jianghu. Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to experience Lord Li Shentong’s ’Primordial Qi Splitting Formation’, which was truly formidable. But precisely because of this, it turned into a blessing in disguise for me in the Five Elements Land, providing me with many opportunities. Now... having encountered another pinnacle, I am eager to see how much difference there is in combat power between my newly mastered Thirteenth Realm Shattering Void and your peak Great Perfection level in the Thirteenth Realm."

Duan Xiaolou, that is the name of the Destruction Tower.

His words made everyone who heard them rather heavy-hearted.

It is well known that realms and combat power are not synonymous, especially when it comes to prodigies and world-surpassing strongmen.

Even though they may both be in the Thirteenth Realm, sometimes the gap between them could be wider than that between a human and a dog.

The reasons for these differences are nothing more than secret techniques, divine skills, divine weapons and immortal tools, physique, bloodline, and other unique characteristics that set them apart from others.

"Master... your status and his, fighting him gives him too much honor..." Cui Feijiang frowned.

The Destruction Tower Master waved his hand.

With a flick of his sleeve, a formless wind of Qi mechanism blew Chen Ku, Murong Cheng, and the four great true disciples thirty li away.

Then,

he extended one hand toward Hua Yuexian, invitingly:

"Hua, being the junior, please proceed."

"Since the senior invites me, I shall not hold back,"

Hua Yuexian chuckled lightly, glancing at the Vermilion Bird behind him, saying:

"You’re quite obstructive at that size, so return to my palm. It’s better to accompany me in battle."

With those words, the enormous Vermilion Bird behind Hua Yuexian transformed into a stream of red light, landed in his palm, and became a small Vermilion Bird Seal.

In the next instant.

This leading prodigy of Dragon Abyss moved.

Raising his hand, his palm unfolded like the wings of the Vermilion Bird, transforming into a blood-red Heavenly Blade that unleashed temperatures capable of burning and bending the void, instantly carving a blade beam towards the Destruction Tower Master.

Whoosh~~

One strike of the blade, and it seemed as though the heavens and earth were cleaved in half by the blade beam in the center.

High temperatures surged, the void distorted.

"Soul Melt Body Refining, Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Saber, indeed worthy of being the next leader of the Dou Shen Sect. These two Immortal Techniques are truly executed effortlessly."

After one strike of the blade, the Destruction Tower Master softly praised, then extended two fingers, acting as a sword, pointing at the blade beam that seemed to burn open the heavens and the earth.

With just one point, the blade beam dissipated into a stream of energy, vanishing as if it had never appeared.

Everyone was utterly astonished.

Is this the strength of the Destruction Tower Master? With a gentle point of his finger, Hua Yuexian’s blade, which seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth and distort even the void, turned into nothingness, akin to divine intervention, beyond comprehension.

"Was that just... the Life Destruction Ban?" Chen Ku pondered quickly.

Yet, he was immediately captivated by the continuation of the battle between the two mighty figures.

As the Vermilion Bird transformed into the Heavenly Blade was dispersed by the Destruction Tower Master’s point, Hua Yuexian’s figure appeared before the Destruction Tower Master, swinging his hands, unleashing a Fist Mark towards him.

The power of this punch was brimming with violent killing intent and war intent, akin to a heavenly god of war and slaughter descending to the mortal realm.
