Chapter 905: Demon Tower and Hell Road
"The Demon City can rapidly enhance one's power?" Huang Xiaolong asked Elder Sheng Yue.
Although he knew about the Demon City from Yelv Chu Fei's memories, he didn't know much.
Elder Sheng Yue nodded, "Among the countless Star Rivers, if there's a place that can rapidly enhance one's power, the first would be the Demon City, and the second would be the Hell Road."
"The Demon City, the Hell Road." Huang Xiaolong's eyes flickered.
"That's right, the Demon City, the Hell Road," Elder Sheng Yue said. "It is said that the Demon City is a city left behind by an Ancient Demon King. Inside the city is a Demon Tower with a total of twelve floors. Each time you pass a floor, you receive a supreme reward, and the further you go, the more astonishing the rewards become."
"The Demon Tower." Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.
Elder Sheng Yue continued, "This Demon Tower is a supreme pagoda, and it is said to have existed even before the Demon City appeared. The Demon City has existed for three hundred million years."
"Three hundred million years!" Huang Xiaolong's eyes widened.
Doesn't that mean the Demon Tower could be four hundred million years old? Five hundred million years? Or even older?
"There are twelve levels in total in the Demon Tower. What are the rewards for each level?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
This was his real concern.
Elder Sheng Yue shook his head, "I've only passed the first two levels, so I only know the rewards for them. But I've heard that if you pass the Ninth Level, you are rewarded with the Heavenly God Divine Position, and besides the Heavenly God Divine Position, there are even more astonishing treasures. However, the Ninth Level is extremely difficult, so much so that throughout hundreds of millions of years, the number of people who have passed it can be counted on two hands."
Huang Xiaolong was shocked. Given Elder Sheng Yue's strength, he had only passed the first two levels?
Seeing Huang Xiaolong's expression, Elder Sheng Yue seemed to have guessed his thoughts and explained, "Actually, passing the Demon Tower isn't about how strong you are."
"Oh?" Huang Xiaolong was intrigued.
Elder Sheng Yue said, "The key to passing the Demon Tower is talent. The higher your talent, the higher you can go."
"Talent!" Huang Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
To pass the Demon Tower, it was all about the level of talent.
Given his talent with the Three Supreme Divine Forms, then!
Elder Sheng Yue looked at Huang Xiaolong, shaking his head, "Youngster Huang, I know what you're thinking. Your talent is indeed exceptional, a genius not seen in a million years. But, passing the Demon Tower is simply impossible. Over hundreds of millions of years, only one person has passed the Tenth Level!"
"One person!" Huang Xiaolong gasped, a chill running down his spine.
Elder Sheng Yue nodded, "Indeed, only the Ancient Demon King who built the Demon City has passed the Tenth Level. It is said that the reward for passing the Tenth Level is ten million-year Demon Fruits!"
Ten million-year Demon Fruits!
Huang Xiaolong's eyes burned with excitement.
A million-year-level Demon Fruit!
Though Huang Xiaolong didn't know what this Demon Fruit was, it was undoubtedly a rare Spirit Fruit.
A three-million-year Spiritual Medicine is already rare, but a million-year one can only be imagined as an incredible treasure, and its Spiritual Medicine effects are sure to be astonishing.
"As for the Eleventh Layer and Twelfth Floor, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever passed them," Elder Sheng Yue added. "As for what the rewards are, no one knows. Some speculate they are Ten Million Year Spirit Fruits, others Supreme Divine Pills, and still others, Infinite Inheritance."
Ten Million Year Spirit Fruit!
Supreme Divine Pill!
Infinite Inheritance!
Huang Xiaolong clenched his fists.
"If passing the Demon Tower is all about talent, so anyone can attempt it? In the Holy Domain and Divine Domain as well?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
Elder Sheng Yue shook his head, "Not so, you must be a Divine-level Expert to enter, because to open the gate of the Demon Tower, one must use their own Divine Power."
At first, Huang Xiaolong intended to bring Xiao Fei with him to the Demon Tower, but upon hearing this, he decided against it.
"Are there no limits on the number of attempts for the Demon Tower?" Huang Xiaolong asked again.
Elder Sheng Yue replied, "Each person can try twice, but the second time is much harder than the first. Of course, the rewards for each floor on the second attempt are much higher than the first."
Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath.
He then asked more about the Demon City and Demon Tower.
Elder Sheng Yue answered everything he knew in detail to Huang Xiaolong without withholding anything.
The strongest force in the Demon City is the Ancient Demon Clan, a power formed through millions of years of breeding by the descendants of the Ancient Demon King.
Apart from the Ancient Demon Clan, there are scattered factions from various Star Rivers' super families and sects, like the Wangu Clan, Creation Gate, Mu Family, Dark Spirit Clan, Baofeng Academy, Ancient Witch Sect, and the Giant Clan, all of whom have established branches in the Demon City.
However, the strength of the branches of the Wangu Clan and Creation Gate in the Demon City is not strong.
The Ancient Demon Clan allows the Wangu Clan and Creation Gate to set up branches in the Demon City, but they do not allow the branches to be too powerful.
The Ancient Demon Clan wants Absolute Control over the Demon City.
The Demon Tower is controlled by the Ancient Demon Clan, and although anyone can attempt the tower, they must pay ten top-level Divine-grade divine stones.
Huang Xiaolong memorized all these details.
"Then, what about the Hell Road?" Huang Xiaolong asked out of curiosity.
If the Demon City has the Demon Tower, could there be a similar pagoda in the Hell Road?
Elder Sheng Yue shook his head, "The Hell Road is extremely dangerous, also known as the Road of No Return. It is said that once you enter, it's exceedingly difficult to come back. Out of ten thousand who enter, at most one will make it out, so I advise you not to go."
Huang Xiaolong's curiosity and interest grew even stronger.
"Why is the Hell Road so perilous?" Huang Xiaolong couldn't help but ask.
Elder Sheng Yue said, "The Hell Road is home to countless Evil Ghosts. Rumor has it that the end of the Hell Road leads to the entrance of the Hell Ghost Realm. Whether it's true or not, no one knows, because no one has ever reached the end of the Hell Road. Despite the countless Evil Ghosts, the Hell Road is filled with million-year Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits, with allegedly even ten-million-year-old Spiritual Medicine. There are also other treasures deeper inside."
The end of the Hell Road is the entrance to the Hell Ghost Realm? Huang Xiaolong was greatly surprised.
He practiced the Cultivation Technique, summoning the Gate of Hell, allowing him to enter the Hell Shura World.
However, the Hell Shura World and Hell Ghost Realm are two different planes.
Over these years, Huang Xiaolong had never entered the Hell Shura World for cultivation, as although the nature's spiritual energy in the Hell Shura World was astonishing and cultivation there was fast, the Asura World is a High-level Plane and entering it is too dangerous.
"The Hell Road." Huang Xiaolong murmured to himself. If given the chance, he would like to see the end of the Hell Road. (To be continued.
