Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 160 - A Blue Dragon Adorned with a Crown

”I will continue!”

The tone was steady and carried no doubts, the mechanical voice replying a second after.

[Good Luck.]

The many mechanical arms holding golden liquid inside them and the long vacant table retracted as the expansive black space to the lower floors appeared. Noah did not take any chances for the lower floors as before he descended. He cast the first five forms of Mountain Sea Sectʼs Six Styles as he felt his body continue to come under increasing pressure. The skills seamlessly mixed together as he felt the strain disappear.

The [Blue Fortress] skill caused the outline of the Emperor to become even more solid as the [Wings of the Sea] and [Healing Water] continued to give support as his steps became easier and any fractures that formed were immediately covered.

The Aqua Tower was a trial only those born in the depth of the seas could complete, with only the most talented of Atlanteans and Merfolk having powerful bodies and abilities to withstand increased pressure to begin with. It weeded out those that were weak and only let the strong pass through to obtain the reward.

Someone at the Neon Commander level, or really legendary rank, would have to be at the top of this rank to withstand and make it to the 71st floor where a Grade 3 Golden Serum would be administered for them to gain a boost that would make their bodies as tough as the Battle Armor they wore. If anybody had the skills to descend down more floors and obtain a serum of an even higher grade though…

Noah disregarded the thoughts of the Grade 3 Serum as his figure quickly went down the wide black space that would transfer him to the next floor, going down further below as he looked forward to discovering just how strong this pressure could become.

The pressure only continued to increase on the next floor, and Noahʼs figure was transferred to the next floor instantly as he felt the pressure crushing down on him once more. His body encased in the [Descent of the Emperor] and surrounded by the other four styles of techniques remained strong.

A blue light shined out as his body adapted, and he continued to move forward. The heavy pressure seemed to cause cracks to form on the blue form that he was encased in. The style of [Healing Water] continued working at maximum capacity to repair and heal any cracks that formed.

The Atlanteans and Merfolk outside continued to watch with bated breaths as they saw the name shining in gold continue down from the 71st floor to the 75th floor in but an instant, and the name continue to go down unhindered.

The person who Ula referred to as the prince had taken out a mechanical device and pressed a few buttons on it, a message being sent to a few people of high importance. Something spectacular would be happening in Atlantis today.

He played within the mechanical device for only a few seconds, but when he looked back up again the golden name indicating Noah was already on the 79th floor.

The other 5 contestants that were still descending seemed to be all but forgotten as all the attention was turned to one person.

On the 79th floor, Noah really felt the strain on his already cast skill and body, as the pressure seemed to come on all sides. Even though he didnʼt want to do it yet, he was forced to cast the sixth style of the Mountain Sea Sectʼs Secret Techniques, the [Dragon Form]

ZOOM!

A tremendous blast of power erupted outwards as Noah was elevated and his body appeared 10 meters higher in the air.

A blue outline of a ferocious regal dragon began to form all around him, his body placed at the forefront and the center of its head

The blue dragon that required a Mythical cultivator, as well as multiple Legendary and Epic cultivators to power up, was cast in the hands of the lone Noah.

OONG

The skill finished being cast as a blue dragon resplendently came to light. The pressure that was weighing down on Noah became completely ignored at the advent of this skill.

This wasnʼt just the Blue Dragon by itself, it was the blue dragon that was cast while the rest of the five styles of the Mountain Sea Sect were also cast.

The outline of the Blue Dragon had an arrogant expression on its face as a blue crown laid on top of it. Besides the two resplendent blue wings on its back, even shinier white ones had appeared on it, giving the picture of a dragon that had four wings powerfully attached on its back.

Its scales and figure that were somewhat transparent when it was cast by the cultivators was now much more solid, making the figure of the dragon look extremely real and indistinguishable from the real one.

ROAR!

A roar of power escaped the jaws of the resplendent blue dragon as the crown on its head shined.

The pressure was offset by a huge amount as the outline of the dragon went towards the black space that led towards the lower floors, its large claw just swiping downwards before itʼs body was transported down to the 80th floor, and then quickly to the 81st.

The moment that this was passed, what appeared on the 71st floor occurred once more, a mechanical voice ringing out.

[Successfully descended 80 floors. Grade 2 Golden Serum is available as the reward. Will you take the reward or continue?]

A stentorian voice resounded from the head of the blue dragon as Noah replied.

”I will continue!”

The empty table and mechanical arms that had called the liquids positing through them had briefly appeared and disappeared once again as another black space appeared on the ground of the 81st floor. With no period of waiting, Noah went down once again.

85th. 86th. 87th. 88th. 89th. 90th. 91st. The same scene and the same repetition occurred on the 91st floor.

[Successfully descended 90 floors. Grade 1 Golden Serum available for the reward. Will you take the reward or continue?]

The mechanical voice rang out as Noah stood protected inside the form of the blue dragon. He had already come this far, and if he stopped here and took the reward, he would be disqualified from proceeding forward. He felt confident to continue until he received the ultimate prize.

The pressure that continued to increase had not been able to do a single thing to the powerful [Dragon Form] that required to be powered up by many, many beings.

Noah didnʼt even know the extent of its power as he continued his descent down the tower which he knew should have increased pressure that would bring the most average Mythical individuals to their knees. He replied with the same determined voice.

[I will continue.]

His actions didnʼt mean too much to him because he already planned to go all the way down until he got the most concentrated form of the Golden Serum and the most specific information on the whereabouts of the Supreme Treasure, the Trident of Neptune.

But his actions were causing shocking waves on the surrounding waters outside of the Aqua Tower. Be it Merfolk or Atlantean, they were all staring in stupefaction as they watched the name Noah Osmont climb higher and higher on the board observing the six champions.

People soon noticed something on the separate leaderboard that was attached to the Aqua Tower different from the electronic screen that was showing these six contestants today. Another name had appeared as it climbed through the ranks that were established for a long time.

The golden leaderboard that was attached to the Aqua Tower and holding the name King Neptune as the first to have reached the lowest floor of the tower. Everyone below that was either an astounding commander or the most powerful figures in Atlantis who held their positions either on the 90th floor, the 94th, or the 99th. There were only 50 names on this leaderboard, and Noah had gotten on it as his ranking continued to shoot up.

Ula was glancing over in shock at this Atlantean that she brought around, not realizing they would produce this many surprises. A commotion was occurring throughout all of Atlantis as a powerful new Seeker continued to descend down the tower.
