King of Gods

Chapter 856 - Evil Sky Tower

The danger was slowly approaching, and all the elites within Xie Yang Palace began to make their way toward the purple crystal tower at the very center.

Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were currently with the people of Sky Sword Pavilion because of the deal between Zhao Feng and the Little Sword Saint.

As of right now, resolving the threat of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is the most important thing. Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.

They hadn’t scouted much in Xie Yang Palace. At the very most, they had only seen one tenth of the palace. However, no amount of treasure was as important as their lives.

Everyone had less than twenty days left, which was why Zhao Feng agreed to the Little Sword Saint so quickly. If Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were concerned with profit at this point, they wouldn’t have joined a group since it was easier by themselves.

On the way, Zhao Feng found that the wicked power within Nan Gongsheng’s body was acting unusually, and Nan Gongsheng’s expression was solemn but excited.

For now, Nan Gongsheng can still maintain his attitude, but the Evil God Crystal is corrupting him more and more. Who knows how long the Mind Calming Pearl, Water Soul Pearl, and Green Water Sky Lotuses will have an effect…? Zhao Feng was slightly worried.

He would respect Nan Gongsheng’s decision; he agreed to help, so he would.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The purple crystal tower in sight started to become bigger. Every bit closer they got, the stronger the force from the purple crystal tower.

”The purple crystal tower contains a supreme power. Just the slightest bit of aura leaking from it is so terrifying.” Mo Dongyao’s tattered Ancient God sword sensed something.

She then glanced toward Nan Gongsheng. Everyone’s heart started to thump under the terrifying aura, and even the True Yuan within their body started to tremble uneasily. Only Nan Gongsheng was excited, and some force within his body was extremely active.

Although the purple crystal tower didn’t seem far away, it was. A couple hours after they left, the imperials and Sky Suspension Palace arrived first.

”What a terrifying aura! This purple crystal tower probably contains some of the remaining power of the Evil God Xie Yang.” Senior Martial Brother Zhuge had a solemn expression.

No one knew why the sealed power within the purple crystal tower started to become active, but the pressure radiating from it almost made everyone unable to use their True Yuan at all.

The groups from the Duanmu Family, Sky Sword Pavilion, and some other forces soon arrived as well.

”Other people have been here before.” Nan Gongsheng’s nose twitched as the scarlet-golden nose ring shook slightly.

This scarlet-golden nose ring came from a golden skeleton within a ruined city, and it had a super sense of smell. It could be used to track others and even smell the element of various treasures.

Zhao Feng’s shoes came from the golden skeleton as well, but they exploded after being damaged in the Building of Refinement.

As soon as Nan Gongsheng said that:

Plop!

The silent door to the purple crystal tower opened, and two figures rolled out.

”It’s Jiu Wuji.”

A bald male in dark battle robes caught everyone’s attention. Both of these figures were from Nine Darkness Palace.

Jiu Wuji was able to steady his emotions a bit, but he was unable to hide the shock on his face. The other King was ruffled and seemed as if he had lost his soul.

”Brother Jiu, what’s the situation like inside the tower?” a King asked curiously.

”This tower should be the Ancient God Xie Yang’s place of cultivation, and it contains a terrifying power that suppresses all outside forces.”

Jiu Wuji forced himself to calm down and take a deep breath. The two figures sat on the ground and were drenched in cold sweat.

”We didn’t see any living things in the tower, but our souls and True Yuan were completely suppressed. We couldn’t even use them,” the other King said with shock.

”Both the soul and True Yuan were suppressed?”

Xuanyuan Wen and company all looked at each other as they started to analyze the situation within the purple crystal tower. Without a doubt, the purple crystal tower should be the center of Xie Yang Palace.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment in time, the groups from some other forces could be seen around the purple crystal tower. Amongst them were the forces from the Ji Family, Grand Duke Qi’s Palace, and the Jiang Family.

”We can’t enter its depths,” Ji Lan said.

The various forces were all spread out in Xie Yang Palace, and some forces had arrived earlier than others. There might’ve been a small number of groups still in places like the Building of Refinement or dark book room, but as time passed, everyone would approach the center of Xie Yang Palace from the threat of dying to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.

Ceng! Whoosh!

A male in a t-shirt landed on a roof of the purple crystal tower.

”Xin Wuheng!”

The male in the t-shirt was alone, and he stood out.

Xin Wuheng stood with his hands behind his back, and he had a solemn expression as he looked over the groups from the Sky Suspension Palace, the imperials, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, and Mo Dongyao.

”This purple crystal tower is called the Evil Sky Tower, and it has some remaining God power left. Although it’s very weak and not even one thousandth of its peak, it can suppress anything below the Demigod level.” Xin Wuheng let out a long breath.

Evil Sky Tower? Everyone felt weird. How did Xin Wuheng know the name of this tower?

”Xin Wuheng, does that mean you’ve already entered it?” Zhao Feng asked.

Xin Wuheng nodded his head. He had indeed gone inside, but he failed. In addition, Xin Wuheng had already done some scouting; all of the buildings around the Evil Sky Tower were important, and many of them had the God’s Forbidden Array guarding them.

”The Evil Sky Tower still has a bit of God power remaining. It suppresses True Yuan the strongest, then the soul and body. In other words, the higher cultivation one has, the more of a disadvantage they’ll have,” Xin Wuheng explained.

The failures of Jiu Wuji and Xin Wuheng made most of the people give up on the Evil Sky Tower.

”I want to try,” Nan Gongsheng said. The purple-and-blood-colored mark on his forehead blinked, and the summoning sensation was more than ten times stronger than before.

”I don’t have a problem with that.” Xin Wuheng glanced toward Nan Gongsheng as if he was thinking about something. ”I came here to tell you all some more important news.”

It was obvious that Xin Wuheng wasn’t very interested in the Evil Sky Tower itself. The most important task was how to escape from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.

”Important news?” Everyone’s eyes landed on Xin Wuheng’s face.

Xin Wuheng was the same as Zhao Feng; they were both mysterious figures shrouded in mist, and none of the Kings were able to see through them.

”I’ve found the core of the God’s Forbidden Array,” Xin Wuheng said straightforwardly.

Hearing this, everyone’s heart shook.

The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon mentioned two points when threatening them:

The first was the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains and the second was the core of the God’s Forbidden Array. Obtaining the key or destroying the core would spare them from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon’s wrath. No one expected that Xin Wuheng had already found it.

”Puny humans, the God’s Forbidden Array is full of flaws, but if you destroy the core, I will spare you.”

A voice that reign supreme sounded in the ears of everyone present. The Black Serpent Dragon’s voice could be clearly heard by those who had the Mark of Destruction.

”God’s Forbidden Array? Take us there quickly! This may be our chance to turn the tide.” Senior Martial Brother Zhuge revealed a joyful expression, and Zhao Feng also revealed some emotions. Senior Martial Brother Zhuge’s thoughts were the same as his own.

”That’s my plan as well. My strength is limited.” Xin Wuheng nodded his head. He found the core to the God’s Forbidden Array, but his strength was limited, so he was unable to turn the tide alone.

”Puny humans, you can’t control the God’s Forbidden Array nor use it to threaten me,” the Black Serpent Dragon mocked.

In Xie Yang Palace, the God’s Forbidden Array could be considered a big net that covered everything inside and out. As long as they found the core gain control of it, they would be able to control the entire God’s Forbidden Array as well.

This was the first thought that Zhao Feng had when he entered Xie Yang Palace. It wasn’t just him that had this plan either; there was also Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Xin Wuheng, and some others.

There were also people that were thinking about the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains. If they were able to obtain the key, they could use it to threaten the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. After all, there was very likely only one key.

”The core of the God’s Forbidden Array is behind us.” Xin Wuheng turned around, and everyone saw a dark silver building made of a metallic material, and it didn’t have an entrance. There was no way to enter, and before they could even get close, they felt an enormous force from the God’s Forbidden Array.

”This building is called the God’s Array Building, and all the switches to the Forbidden Array are located here,” Xin Wuheng explained, and the various groups started to head toward the God’s Array Building.

The Evil Sky Tower and the God’s Array Building were right next to each other.

Of course, there was still a small number of people that stayed next to the Evil Sky Tower and didn’t give up. Amongst them were Xuanyuan Wen, the Ninth Prince, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, Zhao Yufei, Luo Zun, and Mo Dongyao.

There were more than a dozen Kings that wanted to give it a try.

”It doesn’t matter if you give it a try.” Xin Wuheng wasn’t against it. ”Just know when to give up. Although the Evil Sky Tower won’t threaten your life, it can do some strange stuff.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as those words finished, all the figures started to head toward the Evil Sky Tower. After all, the Evil Sky Tower was where the Ancient God Xie Yang cultivated, and it was the center of Xie Yang Palace.

The others gathered at the God’s Array Building and tried to find a way to enter it.

”There’s nothing wrong with just witnessing the power of a God.”

Xuanyuan Wen entered the Evil Sky Tower with the fastest speed. Behind him was the Ninth Prince, Zhao Yufei, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, and the rest.

The Ninth Prince was originally ranked 13th on the Imperial Genius rankings, but his cultivation had reached the Peak-tier King level after entering Xie Yang Palace.

Hu~~ Boom!

The instant they stepped into the Evil Sky Tower, a wicked aura appeared. It seemed able to shatter Heaven and Earth.

The weaker Kings almost spat out blood, and Zhao Feng felt his body become heavy as the True Yuan in his body seemed to freeze.

”True Yuan is almost completely restricted here.”

Some of the Void God Realm Kings felt extremely troubled after entering the tower.

Since Zhao Feng’s level of True Yuan was the lowest, he just gave up control of his True Yuan and let the aura suppress it.
