Chapter 719 Overestimating One's Abilities!
Jiang Wang smirked coldly: "No matter how difficult it is, I'll give it a try."
After all, to refine this Demon-Suppressing Tower, one must accumulate enough experience points, and their source power is the best choice.
The Black Wind Demon Lord looked at Jiang Wang with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "You do have some guts."
However, I still must remind you that those three powerful individuals are extremely cunning and formidable. You must proceed with extreme caution and never be careless.
"I see."
Jiang Wang nodded. "Now, I'll keep my promise and let you out."
However, before you leave, I will place a restriction on you. If you dare to betray me or leak my information, I will immediately detonate the restriction, causing your soul to be scattered.
The Black Wind Demon Lord's expression changed, then he nodded: "Alright! I agree! As long as you let me out, I'm willing to let you place a restriction on me. I will never betray you, nor will I leak your information!"
Jiang Wang nodded, raised his hand, and injected a stream of black demonic energy into the Black Wind Demon Lord's body. The demonic energy condensed into a restriction within his body, hidden in his origin. If the Black Wind Demon Lord dared to betray him, Jiang Wang only needed a thought to detonate the restriction.
"Alright, the restriction has been placed."
Jiang Wang said, "Now, I'll take you out."
As he spoke, Jiang Wang raised his hand, activated his cultivation technique, and his body was surrounded by dense demonic energy. He broke through the restrictions of the first level and, with the Black Wind Demon Lord, walked towards the outside of the tower gate.
After stepping out of the tower, the Black Wind Demon Lord looked at the sky outside, a hint of excitement and emotion in his eyes. He had been imprisoned for 100,000 years and had finally seen the light of day again.
The Black Wind Demon Lord bowed deeply to Jiang Wang, his tone respectful, "I, the Black Wind Demon Lord, will never forget your great kindness and virtue. From now on, I am willing to follow you, obey your orders, and go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
Jiang Wang replied in a calm tone: "No need for formalities."
Now that you've regained your freedom, go down and secretly gather information about the Journey to the West world, as well as other powerful figures. Report any developments to me immediately.
"Yes! Your lord!"
The Black Wind Demon Lord nodded hurriedly, "Your subordinate obeys! Your subordinate will gather information as soon as possible and report to you promptly!"
With that, the Black Wind Demon Lord bowed to Jiang Wang again, then moved and transformed into a black streak of light, disappearing into the distance.
Watching the Black Wind Demon Lord's departing figure, Jiang Wang paid no attention and turned to re-enter the Demon Suppression Tower. He was now heading to the second floor of the tower to see if the powerful figures there could provide him with some experience points.
Upon entering the second level, Jiang Wang discovered that the space was much larger than the first level, and the demonic energy and bloody smell in the air were much stronger, creating a more oppressive atmosphere.
Just then, a series of cold gazes came from the darkness, and countless figures slowly emerged. They were all surrounded by dense power of the laws of strength, and their cultivation was at the second level of the power saint. Their eyes were cold as they stared at Jiang Wang, full of killing intent and vigilance.
"Another intruder?" a gaunt, powerful man said coldly. "Looks like he's here to die again."
"Has the Black Wind Demon Lord of the first level already been killed by you?"
Jiang Wang said calmly, "Black Wind Demon Lord, I have already released him."
"I'm only here to gain some experience points. If you know what's good for you, obediently hand over a portion of your source power, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Hahaha!" The gaunt, powerful man laughed loudly, his tone full of disdain. "Boy, you're too arrogant! Do you think you can act like a tyrant in front of us just because you released the Black Wind Demon Lord? The Black Wind Demon Lord is only a fifth-level Saint of Strength, and he's been imprisoned for 100,000 years, so his strength has been greatly reduced. It's not surprising that he was defeated by you."
We have 800 powerful cultivators at the second level of the Strength Saint realm here. No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly be our match!
Another burly, powerful man shouted, "Boy, if you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or we'll join forces to grind you to dust and make sure you never get reincarnated!"
Jiang Wang sneered: "Join forces? With just you? Even if you have 800 people, you might not be my match."
Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for showing mercy.
"Arrogant! You're courting death!" the gaunt, powerful man roared, raising his hand and unleashing a powerful force of law towards Jiang Wang. "Brothers, let's attack together and kill this arrogant brat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining 799 powerful figures attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of power laws and divine techniques at Jiang Wang. The dense barrage covered the entire space, leaving Jiang Wang with no way to dodge.
Jiang Wang's eyes sharpened, but his expression remained unchanged. He activated the "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Record," and his body was surrounded by dense black demonic energy and golden Dao patterns. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and the demonic energy around him condensed into a huge black shield, enveloping his entire body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Countless attacks slammed into the black shield, producing deafening roars and shockwaves that swept in all directions. The black shield shook violently, yet it remained unbroken.
Those powerful cultivators at the second level of the Strength Saint realm were all surprised to see this. They hadn't expected Jiang Wang's defense to be so strong; even with 800 of them attacking together, they couldn't break through his shield.
"How is this possible? How can this kid's defense be so strong?" The gaunt, powerful man looked incredulous, his voice filled with surprise.
Jiang Wang's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone icy: "Now, it's my turn."
As he spoke, Jiang Wang raised his hand, and the demonic energy and Dao patterns around him surged instantly. He pushed out a palm with both hands, and a huge black palm print, carrying immense power, slammed into those powerful figures. Wherever the palm print passed, the space was torn apart by the shock.
"Not good! Get out of the way!" The gaunt, powerful man's expression changed drastically, and he shouted hurriedly, trying to lead everyone to dodge the palm strike.
However, Jiang Wang's palm print was too fast and too powerful. They had no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the palm print hurtled towards them. "Bang—" With a loud crash, the palm print slammed into the powerful figures. Countless screams rang out, and dozens of second-level Saint Realm experts were instantly killed by the palm print, their bodies turning to ashes. The remaining experts also suffered varying degrees of injury, flying backward with blood trickling from their mouths.
"This...how is this possible?" The gaunt, powerful man struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with fear. "You...just how strong are you? Why are you so terrifying?"
Jiang Wang walked slowly to them, looked down at them, and said in an icy tone: "I told you, you are no match for me."
Now, I'll ask you one more time: obediently hand over a portion of your primordial power, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, next time, I won't be so lenient.
Those powerful figures looked at Jiang Wang with fear and despair in their eyes. They knew that they were no match for Jiang Wang and that continuing to resist would only lead to a more miserable death.
"We...we'll surrender! We'll surrender!" the gaunt, powerful man cried out hastily. "My lord, please spare us! We're willing to hand over a portion of our source power, please don't kill us!"
The other powerful figures nodded in agreement, pleading with Jiang Wang for mercy: "My lord, spare our lives! We are willing to surrender our source power, please don't kill us!"
Jiang Wang nodded: "Very good."
Now, hand over a portion of your primordial power.
As he spoke, Jiang Wang raised his hand, and a black demonic energy formed a huge vortex that hovered in mid-air. He said to the powerful figures, "Inject your source power into this vortex. If you dare to play any tricks, I will kill you immediately."
"Yes, yes, yes! We wouldn't dare to play any tricks!" The powerful figures nodded hurriedly, each circulating their cultivation techniques and injecting a portion of their primordial power into the black vortex.
As the power of origin was injected, the black vortex grew larger and larger, and the aura around it became increasingly dense. The system's voice continuously echoed in Jiang Wang's mind: [Host, you have obtained the power of origin and converted it into experience points: 1000 million experience points!]
[Host, you have obtained the power of origin, which has been converted into experience points: 800 million experience points!]
[Host, you have obtained the power of origin, which has been converted into experience points: 1200 million experience points!]
……
Jiang Wang was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that the power of these experts at the second level of the Strength Saint realm could be converted into so many experience points. Although the experience points converted from each individual's power were not many, the sheer number of people—800 experts in total—made up a considerable sum.
After about half an hour, all the powerful individuals had poured a portion of their primal energy into the black vortex. The primal energy within the vortex had become extremely concentrated, and the system's voice sounded again: [Host, you have gained a total of 80 billion experience points, converted into primal energy!]
"80 billion experience points? Not bad, not bad."
Jiang Wang thought to himself, a satisfied look on his face. "In this way, I am one step closer to the 2700 billion experience points required to refine the Demon Suppression Tower."
Jiang Wang raised his hand and absorbed all the primal power in the black vortex into his body. He then activated the "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Record" to convert this primal power into his own experience points and cultivation level. He could feel that his cultivation level was slowly improving. Although he had not broken through to the mid-stage of the Law Saint realm, it was more stable than before.
Jiang Wang nodded, ignored them, and turned to walk towards the third floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.
He knew that the experts on the third level were all at the third level of the Power Saint realm, and the experience points they converted from their source power would definitely be more than those on the second level. He needed to accumulate enough experience points as soon as possible to refine the Demon Suppression Tower and take all the experts in the tower as his servants.
Upon entering the third level, Jiang Wang discovered that the space was much larger than that of the second level, the demonic energy and blood stench in the air were much stronger, the sense of oppression was much greater, and the surrounding restrictive forces were also much more powerful than those of the second level.
Just then, a dignified voice came from the darkness: "Intruder, halt! This is not a place for you. Get out of here now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction of the sound. From the darkness, a tall figure slowly emerged. The figure was clad in black armor, wielding a massive longsword. He was surrounded by a dense aura of the laws of power, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the third level of the Saint of Power, only one step away from the fourth level. His eyes were majestic as he stared at Jiang Wang, filled with killing intent.
"who are you?"
Jiang Wang spoke, his tone indifferent, "This Demon-Suppressing Tower is my business; I can come and go as I please. It's none of your concern."
The tall figure sneered, his tone authoritative: "I am the Blade Demon, a peak third-level Saint of Strength. I was sealed here for slaying the messenger of the Great Dao's will, and it has been eighty thousand years since! Intruder, do you know your crime? How dare you trespass into my jurisdiction of the third level and be so insolent before me!"
"The Demon of the Blades? A peak third-level Saint of Strength?"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed slightly. "He does have some strength."
"However, I don't care who you are or why you're sealed here. I'm only here to collect some primal power and accumulate experience points. If you know what's good for you, obediently hand over a portion of your primal power, and also have your 600 powerful subordinates hand over a portion of their primal power, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Hahaha!"
The Blade Demon laughed loudly, his tone filled with disdain, "Boy, you're too arrogant! You think you can act like a tyrant in front of me just because you defeated the Black Wind Demon Lord of the first level and those trash of the second level? Let me tell you, I, the Blade Demon, am not someone they can compare to! I am a peak third-level Strength Saint, only one step away from the fourth level. Even the Black Wind Demon Lord can only bow down before me. You, a little brat at the early stage of Law Saint, dare to talk such big words in front of me?"
"Moreover, the 600 strong men under my command are all top-tier experts at the third level of the Strength Saint realm. Each of them is far stronger than those trash at the second level. If we join forces, we can even kill a mid-stage Law Saint. You, a mere early-stage Law Saint, dare to act so presumptuously here. You are simply overestimating yourself!"
Jiang Wang sneered: "Overestimating yourself? Whether you're overestimating yourself or not, you'll know once you try."
I advise you to be sensible and obediently hand over your source power. Otherwise, I will kill you and then deal with your powerful subordinates. In that case, you will not only have to hand over your source power, but also lose your lives. It's not worth it."
"presumptuous!"
The Blade Demon flew into a rage, his power and laws surging instantly. The longsword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, its surface covered with intricate patterns, radiating a world-destroying force. He slashed fiercely at Jiang Wang, shouting, "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish! Let you taste just how sharp my Blade Demon's blade is!"
"Sword pierces the heavens! Die!" (End of Chapter)
