Free Web NovelChapter 1679: Chapter 14: Demon Tower
Lin Feng hadn’t known much about the Demon Tower before, but now hearing Xuue Zimei speak of it, he increasingly sensed the extraordinary nature of this tower.
So Lin Feng asked, "What is the origin of this Demon Tower?"
Xuue Zimei replied, "It’s said to be the Supreme Treasure of a Demon Lord!"
Who among the people dare to call themselves a Demon Lord?
Even the Great Emperors of the Demon Dao!
Existences like the Reincarnation Demon Emperor and the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, figures that amaze the endless ages, even they dare not call themselves "Demon Lord."
What is a Demon Lord?
Only the master of all demons is the Demon Lord.
Whether it be Heavenly Demon, Earth Demon, or Human Demon.
As long as it has to do with demons.
All are included within.
Even many Demon Emperors.
In the presence of a Demon Lord, all must bow and kneel.
At the command of the Demon Lord.
Throughout all heavens and myriads of realms, heaven, earth, and human demons, who dares not obey?
Thus, the significance represented by a Demon Lord is extraordinary.
The master of all demons, such an existence, what cultivation must they possess?
Lin Feng could not even speculate.
Perhaps it exceeds that of a Great Emperor?
...
More than an hour later, the group finally arrived at the space where the Demon Tower was located.
They saw thick chains, one end embedded in the rock wall, the other end wrapped around a jet-black Demon Tower.
That jet-black Demon Tower now only had the bottom three levels, while the rest of the tower was nowhere to be seen.
Demonic Qi billowed out from the Demon Tower.
A massive Energy Light Shield enveloped the Demon Tower.
"It’s this Demon Tower! Eighteen Demon-lock Chains secure the tower’s body, then nine Emperor Patterns intertwine to form a sealing light shield, sealing the Demon Tower within, but these Emperor Patterns will gradually weaken over time, so every few years, we reinforce the power of the Emperor Patterns."
Xuue Zihua pointed to the Energy Light Shield, saying that was the sealing light shield she mentioned, condensed from Emperor Patterns.
And the Emperor Patterns controlling this sealing light shield were located at the base of the Underworld.
There, intense ripples emanated, nine Emperor Patterns lay like nine-headed True Dragons on the ground.
"What a powerful Demon Tower! It actually requires the combined reinforcement of Demon-lock Chains and Emperor Patterns to suppress it; it’s unimaginable what terror it would wreak if it broke free," Lin Feng was incredibly shocked internally.
Xuue Zihua said, "For this reinforcement of the Emperor Patterns, the nine of us, each is responsible for a part, but reinforcing the Emperor Patterns is extremely taxing on the mind and spirit, and soon a state of fatigue will ensue. Once in extreme fatigue, the Demon Tower will cast an illusion spell, causing us to breed heart demons, which we need to resist. If we fail to resist the heart demon of the Demon Tower and become controlled, it would be terrible; the Demon Tower will inevitably control us to destroy the Emperor Patterns, aiding its escape."
"This Demon Tower is so bizarre!" Lin Feng slightly raised an eyebrow.
Xuue Zihua said, "The Demon Tower is currently sealed, so the power it can wield is limited! Now if the nine of us act together, the Demon Tower’s power would be distributed among us, so there’s no need to worry excessively!"
"Hmm...," Lin Feng nodded.
Perhaps this is why the Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, Painting, Spirit, and Immortal seven maidens sought his help.
Each additional person reinforcing the seal would disperse the Demon Tower’s power, making it easier to seal the Demon Tower.
The nine descended one after another, there were nine Emperor Patterns in total, each one responsible for repairing an Emperor Pattern.
Xuue Zihua distributed the materials for repairing the Emperor Patterns to everyone, and they dispersed to repair the damaged Emperor Patterns.
This was Lin Feng’s first encounter with Emperor Patterns.
The Snow Clan’s Emperor Patterns would not attack these people; it is said the Emperor Patterns possess a trace of spirituality, able to discern who to attack and who not to, although it sounds somewhat incredible, it truly is the case.
Lin Feng studied these Array Patterns carefully.
He found the structure of these Array Patterns incomparably complex, each one composed of countless dense Divine Patterns.
If a cultivator below the God Realm were to see the Emperor Patterns, their soul would be unable to withstand it.
It would instantly shatter and perish.
Even a Void God Realm cultivator looking at an Emperor Pattern would suffer great soul damage.
A Divine Fire Realm cultivator looking would suffer splitting headaches.
At the very least, it requires a True God Realm cultivator to be capable of repairing Array Patterns.
Though Lin Feng’s cultivation hasn’t reached the True God Realm.
Nonetheless, the Emperor Patterns here will not attack him nor harm him, so he can repair the Emperor Patterns.
As time passed, under everyone’s repairs of the nine Emperor Patterns, the damaged parts were gradually being restored and perfected.
But just as everyone was repairing the Emperor Patterns, the sealed Demon Tower suddenly emanated a bizarre power.
"Great Demon Illusion Realm! Great Demon Illusion Realm!"
Suddenly, mysterious voices seeped out from the Demon Tower.
Like a demonic sound, leading people step by step to lose themselves.
Lin Feng suddenly found himself vanished from the Underworld.
The next moment he found himself in a world filled with ghostly energy, where countless Fierce Ghosts rushed in from all directions.
Anyone seeing those Fierce Ghosts would have their soul frightened away.
But Lin Feng’s eyes remained clear, and he sneered, "Mere illusion! You want to confuse me? How laughable!"
A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and Buddha Light coiled within his body.
Instantly, all the Fierce Ghosts disappeared without a trace.
The world wrapped in endless ghostly energy before him turned into the Dark World.
This Dark World was also an illusion space.
"Your illusion has no effect on me. Trapping me in the illusion space is futile!"
Lin Feng’s expression was indifferent.
"Kekekeke... Kid! Impressive, breaking through my illusion space so quickly, perhaps we can sit down and have a nice chat!"
The Demon Tower suddenly appeared in that Dark World, an eerie voice emanating from within.
"Talk about what? What is there to discuss between us?" Lin Feng sneered.
"Naturally, it’s about cooperation! You, young and full of potential! If you release me, I can help you become an unmatched powerhouse, perhaps even a Great Emperor in the future. How about this deal?" The sinister voice from the Demon Tower spoke again.
Lin Feng sneered and said, "Me becoming a Great Emperor is a certainty, do I need your help?"
"Moreover, who knows what kind of ghostly thing you are, releasing you might lead to the suffering of countless lives and the death of who knows how many people, I might even be manipulated by you, leading to a tragic outcome of death and disappearance, so do you think I would believe your lies?"
