Chapter 372 The Third Floor of Wuqi Tower
"Look."
The burly commander in blood-red armor suddenly spoke, breaking the delicate atmosphere.
"Look at the soldier using the Azure Crystal Wings. Can you tell from his movements that he's only extremely fast and has excellent reflexes, but technically inferior to the other soldier riding the Golden Claw God?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" the Black Room Commander asked, puzzled. That was how he saw it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In his eyes, although Gu Ce's movement technique far surpassed that of other experts of the same level, it relied more on the speed brought by the Blue Crystal Wings. Although it was terrifying, it seemed inferior to the other Law Master.
"His movement technique is actually a subtle control over his divine body, ensuring that every bit of divine power is neither leaked nor wasted... To achieve this level of control, his will has probably reached the level of a Void True God. Furthermore, although his movement technique relies more on reaction, it combines movement technique with his own instincts. He doesn't need to deliberately use movement techniques; his instinctive dodges alone surpass many exquisite movement techniques. This is the movement technique most suitable for him!" the burly commander said slowly.
"A unique idea led to this unique movement technique!"
"Even I was somewhat moved after seeing it," the burly commander remarked.
"You are the eternal God!"
"You, an eternal God, are moved?"
The other three commanders all said.
The four commanders were all granted the title of Void True God when His Majesty the God-King departed. Over the long years, one of them broke through to become an 'Eternal True God'. However, according to His Majesty the God-King's orders, the four commanders have duties and are not allowed to leave the World of Jin.
Just like the Four Generals, although they are also eternal true gods, they too are not allowed to leave the world of Jin.
After His Majesty the God-King departed, some eternal true gods were indeed born, and they all left the world of Jin, never to return.
"Furthermore, his willpower has reached the level of a Void True God, so wouldn't that mean...?"
"Perhaps... he has a chance to reach the top of Wuqi Tower!" the burly commander said slowly.
The other three commanders immediately fell silent, and a tense atmosphere filled the hall as they stared intently at the screen...
Fulfilling His Majesty the God-King's expectations is more important than their breakthrough to become eternal true gods, even more important than their lives!
……
On the second floor of Wuqi Tower, on that vast, dark red land, lie ten small worlds.
The first five soldiers were in a very bad state, and each of them had exhausted their physical strength.
Although the last five soldiers were also in a sorry state, the fighting lasted for a shorter time, so they fared much better.
Gu Ce was the most relaxed, followed by Luo Feng. Neither of them had much of their divine bodies depleted, and they didn't even need to use the divine power burning technique.
While Luo Feng was distracted by observing the situation of the other soldiers around him...
"Awooo!" "Awooo!" "Awooo!" "Awooo!" "Awooo!"
Five angry howls suddenly rang out.
It was a small world of the first five soldiers, where the five dark red rock giants were all howling with their heads raised, their howls shrill and frantic!
The howl was completely different from the roars of the rock giant during the previous battle; not only was the sound eerie, but it also possessed the power to affect the soul.
Even some soldiers from other smaller worlds felt a tremor in their hearts, and even Gu Ce couldn't help but look over.
What exactly is the trial at Wuqi Tower?
Gu Ce was also unaware of this part of the original story, as his memory of it had become hazy.
Accompanied by mournful howls, the first five soldiers were also somewhat apprehensive, sensing that a crisis was about to befall them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...
Abrupt!
From a fissure in the earth not far from the rock giant, a gigantic rock hand suddenly emerged, surrounded by scalding hot liquid. There were four gigantic rock hands... each millions of kilometers wide, with thick, long arms extending outwards. They appeared without warning and grabbed directly at the elite soldiers.
"Ah!" Among the first five soldiers, an elite soldier with patterns on his face was about to dodge when half of his divine body was grabbed by the rocky hand!
The rocky hand gripped the soldier tightly.
The ancient runes in the sky suddenly began to descend continuously. As they descended, the large amount of light pouring down from the ancient runes gave the soldiers less time to dodge.
"Roar~~~" The dark red rock giant roared, slamming its fist into the captured soldier. Thud~~
The soldier who was hit was in excruciating pain.
Peng!Peng!Peng!
The giant rock hand gripped the soldier, who then smashed it relentlessly, causing the soldier's divine power to be continuously depleted.
"Open, open, open!" The soldier struggled with difficulty, even using his divine power to control his divine hammer. Finally, before the rock giant could throw another punch, he managed to smash a gap in the rock giant's hand enough for him to jump out. However, after being held for just a short while, his divine body had already suffered great damage.
Wow!
From the cracks in the earth, a giant rock hand would sometimes emerge without warning.
This is... a dead end!
……
The three soldiers who entered with Gu Ce and Luo Feng were all filled with anxiety.
That terrifying giant rock hand has already caused the soldiers in front to perish!
"Awooo!" "Awooo!" "Awooo!" "Awooo!" "Awooo!"
Five shrill and frantic voices rang out, penetrating directly into the souls of the five soldiers, causing them to tremble.
"not good!"
"How could it be so fast!"
"We started much later than them," the other three sergeants said anxiously.
They were teleported to the small world about half an hour later than the previous group, but the nightmare finally arrived only about ten minutes later than the previous group.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four massive rocky hands, each a million kilometers wide, with incredibly long arms, stretched out and attacked Gu Ce!
Gu Ce's gaze narrowed slightly, and his speed instantly increased to another level. This was the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique!
Having unleashed the first level of the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, and combined with the Azure Crystal Wings, Gu Ce's speed officially reached the level of a Void True God!
Swish!
Gu Ce managed to control the speed of this surge very well. During his long years of cultivation in the Cosmic Sea, one of Gu Ce's main goals was to gain complete control over divine power!
That was a very long time.
Given Gu Ce's aptitude, his improvement over such a long period of time is naturally enormous.
In the distant silver palace, four commanders were watching.
"It seems the second level won't stop him."
"He finally used the divine power burning technique. This speed... is already comparable to many Void Gods, right?"
"Indeed, his movement and speed are comparable to those of a Void God! And his Annihilation Hand, that mechanical treasure, can increase attack power by more than three levels. Combined with the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique... his attack power is probably comparable to that of a Void God."
"Is this really something a Lord of Laws could do?"
"Mechanical treasures already provide a significant boost to Lords of Laws and True Gods, but once they reach the Void True God level, they can no longer exert such an effect."
"It seems the third level won't stop him either. I wonder if he can become the final choice?"
"That sergeant named Yinhe was also quite good, it's just a pity that he met someone even better."
……
As the ancient runes continued to dwindle, the fate of Gu Ce's soldiers worsened, and eventually, some soldiers perished!
A moment later, it was over.
Of this batch of soldiers, four survived, compared to the previous batch that had already been transported away.
"They survived."
"Haha, I survived."
The remaining two soldiers were overjoyed, but when they looked at Gu Ce and Luo Feng, they showed a look of fear.
Gu Ce ignored them, and as the teleportation beam arrived, the four of them disappeared from the spot.
……
The third floor of Wuqi Tower is a vast grassland.
As the four figures appeared, the sound of discussion could be heard.
"The fourth batch has arrived."
"Quite a few people survived."
A series of sounds came from behind.
Gu Ce looked around and saw scattered figures in the distance, including soldiers and strange beasts, and there were quite a few of them. Including himself, there were as many as 12 soldiers on the vast grassland.
It looks like we'll have to wait a while longer.
Gu Ce closed his eyes to rest, while Luo Feng stood beside him, curiously looking around...
Immediately, the soldiers who had witnessed the two men's strength retreated, and the first two groups of soldiers also showed surprise at the sight and avoided the location of Luo Feng and Gu Ce.
……
Time passed, and the days went by.
On the sixth day, another group of soldiers arrived, consisting of two surviving soldiers. A moment later, the sixth group of soldiers arrived, consisting of three surviving soldiers.
……
In the blink of an eye, nearly two months have passed.
On the grassland on the third floor of Wuqi Tower, a total of 39 soldiers had gathered.
With the arrival of another soldier, the grassland world on the third floor of Wuqi Tower finally stirred.
"Boom~~~" A huge vortex, resembling ripples on the surface of water, suddenly appeared in the sky above the grassland.
The forty surviving soldiers all looked up at the sky.
hum~~~
Spacetime rippled like waves, and forty soldiers, no matter where they were on the grassland, were teleported to the center of the vortex.
Suddenly, beams of light descended from the vortex high in the sky.
It completely encircles a vast area of grassland below, approximately one billion kilometers in diameter, isolating this area entirely from the outside world. The vortex above also has a diameter of one billion kilometers.
Wow~~~
In the center of the swirling vortex high in the sky, a giant eye suddenly appeared. This giant eye looked down, and for a moment, everyone below, including Gu Ce and Luo Feng, felt as if their souls had frozen.
"Wuqi Tower!" An aged voice echoed in the minds of every soldier. "The first three floors are fraught with danger."
"As long as you survive the first three levels, there will be no more danger of death."
"Starting from the fourth level, there will be various inheritances, rewards, and so on... The higher you go, the greater the benefits you will receive," the aged voice said. "Of course, you must survive the third level."
