Chapter 805: Tempering

of mirrors, to slowly form around them, isolating them from the outside world.After a fierce battle, they were naturally depleted. Each person sat on their void disk and adjusted their breath to reco...A book friend, Riyue Shen, added another ten thousand rewards for the second time.When his vision returned, he found himself standing on a valley shrouded in black smoke. On either side, bare rocks were exposed, stretching for hundreds of miles horizontally and endlessly vertically. Scattered across the ground were numerous skeletons.

Occasionally, one or two black vulture-like creatures flit among the skeletons, agile and alive like beings from the outside world. They appear gloomy at first glance, but their spiritual energy is not weak. Spending three thousand low-grade spirit stones to enter, if you can hone your skills for a period of time, it would still be worthwhile.

With such thoughts in mind, after Lu Xia Tian landed on the ground, not long after, a rough grinding sound came from this side.

Lu Xiaoteng looked intently, and saw a towering ox-headed skull demon striding towards him. It dragged a huge iron hammer on the ground. The two empty eye sockets of the ox-headed skull demon were filled with ferocity.

It arrived sooner than expected. Lu Xia Tian wasn't surprised, instead he was delighted. He came to this Zhan Xian Tower precisely to temper his physical body, to cultivate both the Taihao War Body and the Swallowing Soul simultaneously to a deeper level. At this point, his cultivation in法力 had reached its peak, wanting to take it further was extremely difficult. Only by breaking through his physical body could he achieve even greater strength. It was also to pave the way for the Nascent Soul stage.

"Good! " Everything in this Zhanxian Tower felt so real. Lu Xia Tian's qi surged, the clothes on his upper body suddenly burst apart, revealing a body that didn't look strong at first glance, slightly thin, even not as powerful as an ordinary cultivator. However, only those who had fought with Lu Xia Tian knew what kind of explosive power was contained within this seemingly unremarkable body.

With a deafening clang! The Ox-Head Skull Demon's hammer, like a colossal axe cleaving the sky, crashed down towards Lu Xiaoteng.

Lu Xia Tian didn't dodge, directly punching out with a boom. The giant body of the Niu Shou demon beast paused for a moment, but Lu Xia Tian slid backwards dozens of zhang, smashing two giant rocks and dragging a foot-long deep groove on the ground.

Such a powerful force! Despite his own physical cultivation only reaching the eighth rank, Lu Xia Tian chose a demon's level in the soul card. He hadn't expected that this eighth-rank Ox-Head Skull Demon's power would already be comparable to most ninth-rank demons. It was truly formidable.

Lu Xia Tian rubbed his numb arms. The Niu Shou Skull Demon let out a fierce roar, black energy flashing across its body as it blurred several dozen feet away, reappearing before Lu Xia Tian.

The massive iron hammer struck down once more.

Lu Xia Tian swallowed an eighth-rank demon python's spirit core. The immense power he possessed was further enhanced. The numbness in his arms vanished, and with a flick of his leg, similar to a serpent's tail strike, he slammed into the heavy hammer.

The entire valley was filled with flying sand and stones. The Ox-Head Skeleton Demon and Lu Xiaoteng's figures darted back and forth, their battle fierce and intense. If other cultivators saw this, they would surely be astounded.

Although the Ox-Head Skull Demon is only ranked eighth, it's mainly due to its lack of other attack methods. However, with its immense brute strength and the Xuan Iron Heavy Hammer, its offensive power is comparable to that of a ninth-rank demon beast. An ordinary cultivator in the late Jindan stage, relying on the advantages of a Dan Yuan magic artifact, could also contend with this Ox-Head Skull Demon. But someone like Lu Xiaoteng, who can fight against the Ox-Head Skull Demon purely with his physical body and not fall behind, is probably unheard of. Even those ordinary cultivators specializing in physical training would find it extremely difficult to match this level of endurance.

Lu Xia Tian and the Niu Shou Skull Demon engaged in a fierce battle, leaving the valley in ruins.

Everywhere was dust and flying rocks. The Niu Shou Skull Demon was, after all, just a creature conjured from spiritual energy within the Zhan Xian Tower, not an intelligent beast like those outside the world. It didn't possess wisdom or feel fear, pain. It only attacked frantically, desperate to kill Lu XiaTian and expel him from the Zhan Xian Tower.

Of course Lu Xia Tian would be delighted to have such a sparring partner. If the other party ran away after a few hits, how could he hone his physical body This Zhan Xian Tower is truly a good place.

This Ox-Head Skull Demon was tireless and impervious to pain, like a machine. However, in this frenzied battle, the Ox-Head Skull Demon inevitably suffered some damage due to the intense fighting. Over time, the injuries accumulated more and more.

With a mighty roar, as the spirit of the demon whale was nearly exhausted, Lu Xia Tian delivered a powerful kick to its chest. The Niu Shou Skull Demon roared as it exploded into a pile of white bones, revealing nothing within - no inner pill or anything else.

Lu Xiaoteng sat down cross-legged, the fragments of his recent battle with the Ox-Head Skull Demon replaying clearly in his mind. Lu Xiaoteng absorbed the experience of this close-quarters combat like a sponge. Meanwhile, his physical body was adjusting its breath and continuously recovering its energy. Just before he could fully recover, two more Ox-Head Skull Demons arrived, one large and one small. They were only seventh-tier demon beasts with slightly smaller Xuan Iron hammers, but the other one's aura was stronger than the previous one.

It seems that within this Zhanxian Pagoda, the pressure also increases gradually. Once you defeat your opponent, the strength of the next opponent will increase by a few points. This repeated cycle means that Zhanxian Pagoda's operation requires a massive amount of spirit stones every day. Relying on 30,000 low-grade spirit stones to stay inside is obviously unrealistic. Danwang City is large and prosperous, and over thousands of years, it still can't fill such a huge drain.

Only when the cultivators are driven out of the tower can they purchase soul tags again to enter. Thus, a virtuous cycle is formed.

Lu Xia Tian gritted his teeth, swallowed a pill that restored his strength, and fought again with the two new Ox-Head Skeleton Demons.

"Where did that kid go"

At this time, Lu Xia Tian was engaged in a fierce battle with the Ox-Head Skull Demon. Meanwhile, Nie Biancheng was growing increasingly impatient. Even with the reward for information on the guy raised to 300,000 lower-grade spirit stones, no one had come forward with any leads.

That fellow went to a very unusual place. Most ordinary cultivators who went there were killed by the guardian monster shortly after entering. Over time, many people returned empty-handed and lost their soul plaques. After suffering such losses, naturally fewer and fewer people dared to go there anymore.

"Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. That guy entered the Zhanxian Tower and hasn't come out yet. His strength must also be extraordinary. I'll add another 300,000 pieces of low-grade spirit stones!" Zong Yue gritted his teeth and said.

But as time passed, no one was able to find Lu Xiaoteng's whereabouts. Niebiancheng had almost become a laughingstock.

Unknowingly, the reward has been raised to one million low-grade spirit stones.

Such a high reward has already attracted the attention of many other Jindan cultivators. One million low-grade spirit stones, let alone inquiring about news, is more than enough to hire a top-notch Jindan cultivator. As Zong Yue said, where there's a will, there's a way.

Soon, more and more people began to enter the tower to search for Lu Xia Tian." Lu Xia Tian replied calmly, sensing the Buddhist aura of this place. Most of his attention was focused on the several old monsters, including Chi Yan Bing You Gui Yuan. Of course, there was also the...
