Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

691. The Ninth Layer of the Forbidden Tower!

"This is a true Chaos Behemoth!"

As Lin Fei drew the Chaos Behemoth into the Eternal Realm, he recognized it instantly—it was indeed a living creature. The forces within the Eternal Realm began to crush the Chaos Behemoth relentlessly.

A wet squelch sounded as the Chaos Behemoth started to disintegrate. No matter how formidable it was, against the full might of the Eternal Realm, the Chaos Behemoth could not withstand the pressure. It began to crumble bit by bit, transforming into a pure essence of flesh and blood, nourishing Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.

"Hmm?"

Somewhere deep within, Lin Fei sensed that the Forbidden Tower perhaps did not wish for the Chaos Behemoth's demise. Naturally, this made sense—it was a real life, after all.

Each Chaos Behemoth lost meant one fewer in existence, even if the tower had reserves. But how extensive could those reserves be? With one Chaos Behemoth captured by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm, the tower had one less to count on.

Yet, despite its reluctance to lose the Chaos Behemoth, the Forbidden Tower took no coercive measures. It still allowed Lin Fei to trap the Chaos Behemoth within his Eternal Realm. This, however, served as a reminder to Lin Fei.

"Perhaps, the Forbidden Tower operates on a mechanism of rules. Even as I am annihilating the Chaos Behemoth, the tower does not desire its death. Yet, maybe because I am engaged in battle with it, according to the tower's rules, this is permissible, and no one can break these sacred rules.

Therefore, even though the Forbidden Tower does not wish for me to kill the Chaos Behemoth, it does not intervene forcibly. However, this is merely the Chaos Behemoth of the eighth layer.

What about the Chaos Behemoth King of the ninth layer? How crucial it must be for the Forbidden Tower—would it intervene forcibly to prevent me from slaying the Chaos Behemoth King?

Or perhaps, the Forbidden Tower will adhere to its rules, allowing my battle with the Chaos Behemoth King of the ninth layer to proceed unimpeded? Even if I trap the Chaos Behemoth King within the Eternal Realm, it would be the same?"

Lin Fei sank into deep contemplation.

Perhaps any possibility existed. However, as Lin Fei's Eternal Realm securely trapped the Chaos Behemoth, the Forbidden Tower adjudicated that Lin Fei had emerged victorious.

A resonant hum filled the air. Before Lin Fei, a staircase materialized—it was the pathway leading to the ninth layer. The sight caused the Supreme of the eighth layer to widen his eyes, deeply shaken.

"The ninth layer...! Supreme Lin has breached into the ninth layer. How can this be? Could it be that Supreme Lin is also an Invincible Supreme, on par with Doomsday Supreme?"

At that moment, the top-tier Supreme felt a tumultuous surge within him, as if he had stumbled upon a monumental secret. Invincible Supreme! Lin Fei must surely be one by now. Otherwise, he could not possibly have conquered the eighth layer of the Forbidden Tower. After all, the difficulty of the Forbidden Tower's eighth layer was well-known among the most top-tier Supremes.

Many had tried various methods, yet none could breach this level of the Forbidden Tower. The only Supreme to have ever done so was Doomsday Supreme. As a result, many categorized Doomsday Supreme in a league of his own—the lone tier of the Invincible Supreme!

It was a consensus among many Supremes: only those who could traverse the eighth layer of the Forbidden Tower were worthy of being called Invincible Supreme!

Now, watching Lin Fei's vanishing figure, the Supreme of the eighth layer clearly understood—Lin Fei was an Invincible Supreme, the second one in the entire chaos, following Doomsday Supreme.

"This will be extraordinary news..." murmured the Supreme of the Forbidden Tower's eighth layer.

With a swift motion, Lin Fei's figure flickered. As he reappeared, he found a familiar figure before him—Doomsday Supreme!

At that moment, Doomsday Supreme was seated cross-legged on the ground. Upon seeing Lin Fei, he showed no surprise but smiled slightly and said, "Supreme Lin, you've finally arrived, even earlier than I had anticipated! Supreme Lin must have seen the Chaos Behemoth of the eighth layer of the Forbidden Tower, right? How is it? Are you satisfied?"

It appeared that Doomsday Supreme had known all along about the Chaos Behemoth of the eighth layer. Yet he had not spoken of it earlier, preferring to let Lin Fei discover and test it himself. After all, no matter what he said, people like Lin Fei would never fully trust others. They had to see and test everything themselves before believing.

Lin Fei nodded slightly. Within his Eternal Realm, the pure essence of the Chaos Behemoth's flesh continued to nourish the entire realm, progressively enhancing its power. Indeed, a top-tier Chaos Behemoth was quite exceptional.

"Indeed, the Chaos Behemoth is true," Lin Fei acknowledged. "However, you mentioned that the ninth layer of the Forbidden Tower harbors the Chaos Behemoth King. Even if you say these Chaos Behemoth Kings have flaws, I cannot guarantee that I can handle all of them."

Lin Fei's expression was grave. The Chaos Behemoth King! A creature comparable to the Masters of Chaos. Of course, the Chaos Behemoths were special, flawed Chaos Behemoth Kings. Nonetheless, they were undoubtedly much stronger than those of the eighth layer of the Forbidden Tower. Lin Fei knew he had to approach this with utmost caution.

"Supreme Lin, words are superfluous," said Doomsday Supreme, his expression unusually solemn. "We shall soon see for ourselves."

Perhaps only the Chaos Behemoth of the Forbidden Tower's ninth layer could make Doomsday Supreme exercise such caution.

"Wait, once we step into the combat zone, we will be separated," Lin Fei suddenly realized.

Since they would be separated, how could he assist Doomsday Supreme? After all, Doomsday Supreme had specifically asked for his help to conquer the ninth layer of the Forbidden Tower.

Doomsday Supreme smiled slightly and explained, "If we both step into the combat zone together, the Forbidden Tower will assume we are united. Then, we will face the trials together. Generally, the more people involved, the greater and more difficult the challenges we encounter.

So, this time, I must rely on you, Supreme Lin. We need to find a way to restrain the Chaos Behemoth King. As long as we can hold it off, over time, we will be able to wear down the Chaos Behemoth King and thus pass through the ninth layer. Of course, if we can defeat the Chaos Behemoth King, that would naturally be the best outcome!"

Doomsday Supreme had never truly envisioned defeating the Chaos Behemoth King, especially given the possibility of facing not one, but two such formidable opponents. To simply hold them off, to endure in a stalemate, would be enough. That alone would give them a chance at victory.

"Alright, let's begin," Lin Fei said, taking a deep breath. Together, he and Doomsday Supreme stepped into the combat zone.

A resounding boom echoed as they entered the ninth layer's combat area of the Forbidden Tower. Instantly, Lin Fei and Doomsday Supreme felt the environment subtly shift around them, as if they had been transported into the vast expanse of chaos itself. The surroundings were eerily empty.

However, unbeknownst to them, the entire Forbidden Tower began to tremble significantly, especially noticeable from the ninth layer downward. Nearly everyone felt the vibrations of the tower.

"What's happening? Why is the Forbidden Tower shaking?" some wondered aloud.

"It's always been stable, how could it be shaking now?" another puzzled.

"No, the Forbidden Tower shakes only when someone attempts the ninth layer," someone clarified.

"Could it be that Doomsday Supreme is making another attempt at the ninth layer?"

"Doomsday Supreme has tried the ninth layer before, but the vibrations were never this intense. Unless, of course, two are attempting the ninth layer together."

"Two people together?"

"I just heard a piece of news; Supreme Lin apparently made it to the eighth layer. Could it be possible that Supreme Lin has continued on to the ninth?"

"There's a Supreme on the eighth layer, Mystic Dragon Supreme, right?"

"Should we ask Mystic Dragon Supreme?"

Amidst these speculations, many Supremes discussed fervently, exchanging information and trying to piece together the events unfolding within the tower.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
