Chapter 718 Endless Torture!
Chapter 718 Endless Torture!
Jiang Wang sneered, "I want your Qilin Origin, it's useless to me."
All I need to remember is this: if you ever see me again, get the hell out of my sight and don't let me see you again. Otherwise, next time, I won't be so polite.
"Yes, yes, yes! I remember! I remember!"
The nine-headed Qilin nodded hurriedly, as if pounding garlic, "If I ever encounter you again, I will definitely run far away and never dare to offend you again. Please forgive me, sir!"
Jiang Wang glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "Get lost."
The nine-headed Qilin hurriedly thanked them, struggled to its feet, called to its attendants, picked up the Mountain-Suppressing Seal from the ground, and ran away in a disheveled state. Even after running a long distance, it did not forget to look back at Jiang Wang, its eyes filled with fear, afraid that Jiang Wang would change his mind and attack them again.
Watching the Nine-Headed Qilin and the others leave in a sorry state, Jiang Wang didn't care at all and turned around to continue walking towards the tower.
Just then, the system's voice sounded again: [Host, the Qilin Origin Power of that nine-headed Qilin just now contained a rich amount of power laws. If you can refine it, you can gain a large amount of experience points, approximately 50 billion experience points.]
Jiang Wang's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Oh? Refining his Qilin Origin will grant 50 billion experience points? He just said he would give me a portion of the Qilin Origin. If I accept it and refine it, will I gain some experience points?"
[Yes, host. 】
The system's voice sounded, "Even a portion of the Qilin's essence can yield a considerable amount of experience points. If one could obtain all of its Qilin essence, even more experience points could be gained, potentially leading to a breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Law Saint realm."
Jiang Wang shook his head, his tone indifferent: "Forget it, there's no need."
I already showed mercy by letting him go earlier. If I were to chase after him and try to seize his Qilin essence, it would only make me seem petty.
Moreover, 50 billion experience points isn't much for me; it's far less than the 2700 billion experience points needed to refine this tower.
The host is right.
The system's voice sounded, "[However, if the host encounters other powerful individuals, they can refine their source power, accumulate experience points, and refine this tower as soon as possible, obtaining the 3897 powerful individuals within to become the host's servants.]"
Now, let's go inside the tower and see what's inside. Maybe we can find some ways to accumulate experience points.
As he spoke, Jiang Wang strode to the tower gate. The tower gate was tall and majestic, made of an unknown black boulder, and covered with intricate patterns. The patterns were filled with a rich power of the Great Dao, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Jiang Wang reached out and gently touched the tower door. A cold sensation came from the door, and at the same time, a powerful suction force came from inside the tower, trying to pull him into the tower.
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed. He activated the Nine Revolutions Spirit Treasure Record, his body surrounded by dense demonic energy, resisting the suction force of the tower gate. He slowly spoke: "This tower is rather strange, it actually has such a strong suction force."
[Host, this tower is a supreme treasure from the chaotic era, called the Demon-Suppressing Tower. It was specifically used to imprison powerful individuals from all walks of life. The tower contains powerful restrictive forces, and the suction force is only one of them.]
The system's voice sounded: "[After entering the tower, the host must proceed with caution. The restrictive power within the tower is extremely strong; if accidentally triggered, even a Law Saint would suffer severe injury.]"
Jiang Wang nodded: "I understand, thank you for reminding me."
As he spoke, Jiang Wang stopped resisting the suction of the tower gate. With a movement, he was sucked into the tower gate and disappeared in front of it instantly.
Upon entering the tower, Jiang Wang found himself in a vast, pitch-black space. The air was thick with the stench of blood and demonic energy, along with a faint sense of oppression that made it hard to breathe.
"This is the interior of the Demon Suppression Tower? It's even more eerie than I imagined."
Jiang Wang spoke calmly, while simultaneously circulating his cultivation technique, causing a faint demonic aura to linger around him, illuminating the surrounding area.
Just then, a cold voice came from the darkness: "Another fearless little brat has broken into this Demon Suppression Tower? Looks like he's here to die again."
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction from which the sound came. In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged. The figure was tall and burly, surrounded by a dense aura of power and law. His cultivation had actually reached the fifth level of the Power Saint realm. His eyes were cold as he stared at Jiang Wang, filled with killing intent.
Jiang Wang spoke, his tone calm: "Who are you? Why are you imprisoned in this tower?" The figure sneered, his tone icy: "Who am I? I am the Black Wind Demon Lord, a fifth-level Saint of Strength. I was sealed here for violating the will of the Great Dao, and it has been a full 100,000 years! Little brat, who are you? How dare you trespass into this Demon-Suppressing Tower? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"The Black Wind Demon Lord? A fifth-level Saint of Strength?"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed slightly. "So that's how it is. It seems that quite a few powerful individuals are indeed imprisoned in this tower."
You don't need to know who I am. I'm here simply to see what's inside this tower.
"Shall we take a look at the situation inside this tower?"
The Black Wind Demon Lord laughed loudly, his tone full of disdain, "Little brat, you're too naive! This Demon Suppression Tower is a place of death. No one who enters has ever left alive! Do you think you can run rampant here just because you have some strength? I think you've come here to die too!"
Jiang Wang smirked coldly: "Sending yourself to your death? Not necessarily."
"I'd like to see what you, a prisoner who's been locked up for a hundred thousand years, have that's enough to send me to my death."
"Insanity!"
The Black Wind Demon Lord flew into a rage, his power of force and laws surging instantly. Dark demonic energy erupted from his body, merging with the power of force and laws to form a massive black storm that swept fiercely towards Jiang Wang. "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish! I'll let you taste the power of the Black Wind Demon Lord!"
Jiang Wang's eyes sharpened, but he remained calm and composed. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, his palm swirling with dense black demonic energy and golden Dao patterns. The palm wind howled, carrying immense power, and collided fiercely with the black storm.
With a loud "bang," the black storm was shattered by the palm strike, and the shockwave swept in all directions, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly. Jiang Wang stood still, while the Black Wind Demon Lord couldn't help but take several steps back, his eyes filled with surprise.
"how is this possible?"
The Black Wind Demon Lord stared at Jiang Wang with disbelief, "Your cultivation is clearly only at the early stage of the Law Saint realm, how can you have such strong power? Even a mid-stage Law Saint might not be able to easily shatter my Black Wind Storm!"
"Your power and laws, though cultivated to the fifth level, are far too crude; you are no match for me."
"Insolence!" The Black Wind Demon Lord roared, his eyes bloodshot. "Boy, how dare you underestimate me! I have been imprisoned for 100,000 years. Although my cultivation has not improved, my power and laws have become even more refined. Today, I will definitely grind you to dust!"
As he spoke, the Black Wind Demon Lord formed hand seals and chanted incantations. The power and laws surrounding him surged once more, and the pitch-black demonic energy condensed into a massive black axe. The axe was covered with complex patterns and exuded a world-destroying force, which it slashed fiercely at Jiang Wang.
"Black Wind Sky-Splitting Axe! Die!"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and he slightly shifted his body to avoid the giant axe's attack. At the same time, he raised his hand, and a black sword aura condensed at his fingertips. The sword aura was mixed with faint golden Dao patterns, and he shot it fiercely towards the Black Wind Demon Lord.
"laugh--"
The sword energy was extremely fast, arriving in front of the Black Wind Demon Lord in an instant. The Black Wind Demon Lord's expression changed, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block, but he was still a step too slow. The sword energy grazed his arm, leaving a deep wound from which black blood gushed out.
"what!"
The Black Wind Demon Lord let out a miserable scream, his eyes filled with pain and rage. "Boy, you dare to hurt me! I'll kill you!"
Jiang Wang's tone was icy: "So what if I hurt you? If you still don't know what's good for you, I'll kill you."
I ask you, how many powerful individuals are still within this Demon-Suppressing Tower? What are their cultivation levels?
The Black Wind Demon Lord gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at Jiang Wang: "Why should I tell you? Kid, do you think you can make me submit just because you hurt me? Impossible! Even if I die, I won't tell you anything!"
Jiang Wang sneered: "Is that so? You think you can just die whenever you want? This Demon Suppression Tower has Great Dao restrictions, so you can't die at all. You can only be endlessly tortured here."
"If you tell me about the situation inside this tower, I might be able to help you escape this torment, and perhaps even let you out."
The Black Wind Demon Lord's eyes flickered, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face: "You... are you telling the truth? You can really let me out?"
"Of course it's true."
Jiang Wang said calmly, "Since I was able to break into this Demon Suppression Tower, I have the ability to let you out."
However, I need you to tell me everything about this tower, including the number of powerful individuals imprisoned there, their cultivation levels, the distribution of restrictions within the tower, and the location of the treasures stored inside.
"Just tell me, and I'll let you out."
The Black Wind Demon Lord remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He had been imprisoned in this Demon Suppression Tower for a full 100,000 years, enduring endless torment every day, and was already living a life worse than death. If he could get out, even if he had to pay some price, it would be worth it.
"Okay! I'll tell you!"
The Black Wind Demon Lord gritted his teeth and said, "This Demon Suppression Tower has nine levels, and each level imprisons a powerhouse of a different level. The first level imprisons a powerhouse of the first level of the Strength Saint, the second level imprisons a powerhouse of the second level of the Strength Saint, and so on. The ninth level imprisons a powerhouse of the ninth level of the Strength Saint."
Jiang Wang nodded and asked, "How many powerful individuals are there on each level? On the ninth level, are there three powerful individuals at the ninth level of the Strength Saint realm?"
A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Black Wind Demon Lord: "How did you know? That's right, there are indeed three powerful experts at the ninth level of the Strength Saint realm on the ninth floor. They were all great figures who once shook the Chaos, and their strength was incomparably powerful. Even I am far from being their match."
As for the number of strong individuals on each level, the first level has 1000, the second level has 800, the third level has 600, the fourth level has 400, the fifth level has 300, the sixth level has 200, the seventh level has 150, the eighth level has 100, and the ninth level has 3, totaling 3897, just as you said.
Jiang Wang understood. It seemed the system was telling the truth. There were indeed 3897 powerful individuals imprisoned in this tower, including three from the Ninth Heaven.
"What about the layout of the restrictions within the tower, and the locations of the treasures?"
Jiang Wang continued to ask.
The Black Wind Demon Lord said, "The restrictions in this Demon Suppression Tower are different on each level. The restrictions on the first level are the weakest, and the restrictions on the ninth level are the strongest. The restrictions on each level are designed for those who are strong at that level. If one's cultivation is lower than that level, one will not be able to break through the restrictions at all."
As for the treasures, most of them are stored on the ninth floor, rewards left behind by those who challenged the tower years ago. Some are treasures brought by imprisoned powerful individuals, confiscated by the will of the Great Dao and stored in the tower.
Another question: If I can refine this Demon-Suppressing Tower, will I be able to control all the restrictions within it and make all the powerful beings within its walls my servants?
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Black Wind Demon Lord, then he nodded: "That's right! This Demon Suppression Tower is a Chaos Treasure. As long as you can refine it, you can control everything in the tower, including the restrictions within the tower and all the powerful figures imprisoned. They will all become your servants and obey your commands. The cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, and original Dao techniques they possess will also belong to you."
"However, refining this Demon-Suppressing Tower will be extremely difficult."
The Black Wind Demon Lord paused for a moment, then continued, "Back then, many powerful figures tried to refine this Demon Suppression Tower, but they all failed. In the end, they were backfired by the restrictions within the tower and became prisoners of the tower."
Moreover, refining this Demon-Suppressing Tower requires a massive amount of experience points or powerful primal energy; otherwise, it's impossible to even shake the tower's essence.
Jiang Wang replied calmly, "I know all of that."
"Now I ask you, do you know how to quickly accumulate experience points or obtain powerful primal energy to refine this Demon-Suppressing Tower as soon as possible?"
The Black Wind Demon Lord thought for a moment and then said, "The best way to quickly accumulate experience points is to refine the source power of other powerful beings or kill them and seize their experience points."
As for the powerful primal force, the three experts at the ninth level of the Strength Saint realm on the ninth floor of the tower possess extremely strong primal force. If one could refine their primal force, not only would one gain a massive amount of experience points, but one's own cultivation would also improve, and it might even be possible to break through to the ninth level of the Strength Saint realm.
Jiang Wang's eyes flickered: "Oh? Refining their source power can have such great benefits?"
"That's right!"
The Black Wind Demon Lord nodded. "Those three experts were all top experts back then. Their source power contains an incredibly rich law of force. After refining it, the benefits are endless."
However, their strength is formidable. Even imprisoned in the tower and suppressed by the restrictions, their power is still not to be underestimated. Refining their source power is extremely difficult; one wrong move and you will be devoured by them, dying without a burial place. (End of Chapter)
