Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 1839 - 486: Challenging the Limits (2)

Chapter 1839: Chapter 486: Challenging the Limits (2)
By the time they reached the seventh layer, the number of Ancient Demons had dwindled to 24 with their power increasing once again, each Ancient Demon employing more sophisticated Immortal Techniques with increased mastery.
In the eighth layer, the Ancient Demons continued to decrease, becoming 12 in number, capable of wielding terrifying Immortal Techniques, blending numerous laws, nearing the early stages of Emperor Skills.
In the ninth layer, the Ancient Demons reduced to six, their Immortal Techniques already matching those of the Daoist-level Five Extremes Emperor Sword.
In the tenth layer, they returned to three in number, but the realms they controlled had strengthened, almost approaching top-tier realms.
Li Hao’s Path of Formless was slightly affected, barely able to harm him!
…
“So strong!”
In the tenth layer of the Heaven Tower, Su Wanyi’s face was icy cold, facing the three Ancient Demons’ realms, which had somehow been enhanced to near top-tier realm standards, not much different from hers. She hadn’t anticipated that here, she’d be forced to use half of her strength.
Indeed, during the Breakthrough Seal King stage, aside from awakening the Ancestor Emperor Power, the realm heart she comprehended was also a top-tier realm heart!
After all, she was the eldest sister of the Su Family and the personal disciple of the Chaos Immortal Emperor, having talent only slightly inferior to Su Muqing.
Only later did she learn that her third sister Su Muqing’s talent was so monstrous because her body was the reincarnation of a prodigious King of ten thousand years ago, inheriting the celestial gift of its original soul, hence her remarkable abilities.
Apart from that, she considered herself the most talented person in the Su Family.
“Void Slash Realm!”
She unleashed her realm, within which countless voids split open, laws breaking, immortal power shattering.
Invisible sword lights seemed to surge within her realm, quickly shattering the Ancient Demons’ realms and slicing them apart.
“It appears that to pass the tenth layer, one must at least comprehend a top-tier realm to defeat them; if the realm is slightly inferior, these three Ancient Demons would instantly kill them!”
Su Wanyi mused inwardly, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Soon, a majestic voice from the Heaven Tower echoed before her:
“Do you wish to continue the challenge, Heaven Tower Eleventh Layer?”
“Continue!”
Su Wanyi didn’t hesitate, she still had unused Ancestor Emperor Power, and what she had demonstrated so far was far from her true full strength!
“That fellow probably also has a top-tier realm; at least he managed to get through the tenth layer. It’s just uncertain how far he can go…”
As she was sucked into the crack in the sky, the image of that youthful silhouette floated into her mind, her eyes slightly flickering, suddenly feeling somewhat expectant.
…
“Continue!”
On the other side, the three Ancient Demons around Luo Ningshuang also turned to dust and vanished, leaving no ash; she chose to continue the challenge, proceeding to the eleventh layer!
“Wondering if, when the Ancestor Emperor Power is fully unleashed, how many layers can be reached, twenty layers? Thirty layers?”
A look of expectation filled Luo Ningshuang’s eyes.
…
While the layers of the Heaven Tower were filled with challengers, the Abyss outside the Heaven Tower remained exceedingly quiet.
Once bustling with various heavenly talents of different realms and clans around the Heaven Tower, now they were all inside the tower. However, over time, only a very small number of people had come out from the Heaven Tower.
Upon seeing only a few silhouettes in the starry sky, they immediately realized they had exited too early, which also meant their combat strength was relatively behind.
“Damn it, it’s so difficult, I thought I was invincible in the same realm, but I couldn’t even pass the corresponding seventh layer!”
“Others must be challenging layers lower than their corresponding realms; otherwise, they couldn’t have come out so late.”
“Had I known earlier, I’d have started from the first layer and taken it slowly.”
Many showed panic and regret in their eyes. Before coming, they were the top heavenly talents of their clans and local Immortal Domains, some directly choosing the tenth layer corresponding to their realm!
As a result, they hadn’t lasted for even three breaths inside before being defeated.
Defeated quickly, with great distress, even with psychological preparation, they hadn’t expected the trial to be so abnormal!
They suspected that, within the same realm, it’s simply impossible for anyone to pass the tenth layer.
This left them somewhat regretting not first experiencing the differences between other layers.
At the top of the Heaven Tower, the Star Empress and Immortal Immortal Emperor were silently suspended here, the wind of the Abyss slightly fluttering their imperial robes, their expressions calm like eternal, but their eyes seemed to flicker with countless thoughts, deep and far-reaching.
“It seems, after tens of thousands of years without appearing, this generation still has quite a few promising seedlings.”
“Unfortunately, the time left for them is too short; otherwise, they might all have the potential to become True King Seeds.”
Immortal Immortal Emperor softly whispered.
The Star Empress displayed the scenes inside the Heaven Tower for the Emperor Soul of the counterpart to watch, showing all the participants’ challenge situations.
Aside from those in Immortal King Realm Perfection and Ninth Level of Immortal King Realm fighting above the ninetieth layer, among the First Level to Third Realm of Immortal King Realm, quite a few young ones showed rather amazing performances.
Unfortunately, their cultivation was too low, and this True King competition focused on combat strength.
“Ninety-nine layers, indeed worthy of being Emperor Clan, fast pace.”
The Star Empress softly said.
At this moment, in the ninety-ninth layer of the Heaven Tower, a silhouette of Emperor Clan in Immortal King Realm Perfection was battling with Ancient Demons.
Six Ancient Demons surrounded, all at Immortal King Realm Perfection, extremely terrifying, joining forces with Emperor Dao Immortal Techniques, already possessing some Emperor Dao aura.
Moreover, the six Ancient Demons working together amplify their combat strength far beyond the mere addition of six.
“That is, the Ancestor Emperor Power of the Emperor Clan!”
Suddenly, the Star Empress’s eyes slightly flickered, seeing a majestic Great Emperor Dharma Form appearing behind the Emperor Clan silhouette, that Great Emperor Dharma Form towering sky-high, as if a true Great Emperor had descended, with the integration of Ancestor Emperor Power. It was no longer merely a shadow or a projection, seeming to be a weak manifestation of a Great Emperor!
