"Demon Suppressing Tower?"
Fu Feng was somewhat surprised, then he suddenly remembered that Lu Chen naturally had a reward for obtaining the first secondary school, and entering the Demon Suppressing Tower was one of the rewards.
"Rumor has it that the of the Enlightenment Palace is where the mighty Demonic Beast s are imprisoned. If one can enter there to obtain the supreme demon crystal after the death of a certain Demonic Beast, it would be even more effective than a Life and Death Profound Crystal."
"Supreme Demon Crystal?" Lu Chen shook his head, he did not have much interest in this kind of thing. This time, the reason why he got first place was not only to help Second Senior Brother, but he also had another reason to enter Demon Suppressing Tower, and that was to collect a sufficient amount of demon corpses.
Although the Little Yuanyang Sword Formation was of a new scale, it still required a few special things to be polished, and the bones left behind by the Unparalleled Giant Demons were the best tools to be polished.
If everything went well, Lu Chen was confident that he could increase the power of the Little Yuanyang Sword Formation by another thirty percent.
This was also why Lu Chen wanted to get first place not only to fulfill his promise, but also to improve his own strength.
Even though he had joined the Extreme Tao Academic Palace not too long ago, Lu Chen knew that he had offended quite a few people. Only when he was strong would he have no fear against any hidden dangers, otherwise, with just his declining Kungwu Hall, he might not be able to protect himself.
Three days later.
Lu Chen appeared under the Demon Suppressing Tower.
This was an important place in the Extreme Tao Academic Palace, and the great demon lords that the Academy had imprisoned for countless of years were imprisoned inside there. The weakest among them had cultivation at the Soul-breaking Stage, and as for the strongest, it was even rumored that there were terrifying existences that surpassed the Life And Death Stage.
There were twelve levels to the Demon Suppressing Tower, and as the number of levels increased, the suppressive force of the Demonic Beast became more and more tyrannical.
There were several Life And Death Stage disciples guarding outside the Demon Suppressing Tower. Just as Lu Chen got near, he felt several extremely tyrannical soul senses sweep over him, but fortunately for him, the winner of the meeting, an elder told him in advance, so the disciples did not stop him and allowed him to enter the Demon Suppressing Tower.
In the past, there were quite a few Extreme Tao Academic Palace disciples who entered the Demon Suppressing Tower in order to contribute to the Academy, or else it was an exception like Lu Chen who got first place and received permission.
To the Extreme Tao Academic Palace disciples, Demon Suppressing Tower was a dangerous place and also a place they yearned for. There were countless Diremonsters within the city, and as time passed, some of the Diremonsters would eventually fall. And with their fall, the Supreme Demon Crystals they left behind were the best treasures in the world.
Although the most important thing for cultivation was to rely on one's talent and hard work, it was undeniable that with the help of some treasures, it could quickly shorten the time to breakthrough, and once one's cultivation reached Soul-breaking Stage or level, it would become extremely difficult to increase. However, these Supreme Demon Crystals became the most precious cultivation treasures for Soul-breaking Stage and experts.
Due to the mixed energy, even the strongest warriors would have a hard time absorbing normal Demonic Beast's demon crystals. Even if they were purified to some extent, the amount they could absorb was only a few percent, which would not be of much help to their cultivation.
However, the Supreme Demon Crystals left behind by and above are completely different. When a Demonic Beast of this level has comprehended the power of life and death, it would normally be as hard to die as a practitioner of the same realm as Human Clan. However, even the strongest lifeforms would find it difficult to resist the erosion of time.
After the fall of a Demonic Beast of this level, the Goblin Crystal in his body had almost turned into the purest of energy. Even if it was a rare treasure to the Major Power Of Life And Death Stage, as long as he could get his hands on a Supreme Demon Crystal, it would be enough for him to skip years or even decades of cultivation.
Because of this, the Demon Suppressing Tower became a place that the people of the Extreme Tao Academic Palace yearned for but feared at the same time.
The reason why the elders of the Tao Hall and Taiyi Hall wished for their disciples to obtain the first place in the daoist gathering was partly because of this Demon Suppressing Tower.
For disciples and elders who had reached the Life And Death Stage, if they relied on ordinary, bitter cultivation, the rate at which their cultivation rose would be extremely slow. However, if a disciple from either of the two halls obtained the first rank in the Dao Conference, and entered the Demon Suppressing Tower to take away the huge demon crystal that had fallen within, it would undoubtedly indirectly or directly raise the strength of the two halls.
But no one would have thought that not only did Tao Hall not win this time, Taiyi Hall also did not win. The final winner was Lu Chen, the Kungwu Hall that had declined for a hundred years in name and death.
Under the watch disciples' gazes, Lu Chen slowly walked into the Demon Suppressing Tower.
There were many dangers inside the Demon Suppressing Tower, but the living transcendent giant demons were all sealed by the techniques of the elders of the Extreme Tao Academic Palace, so they didn't have to worry about their own safety. As long as they didn't provoke the Demonic Beast s that were still alive, they would be able to enter and leave safely under normal circumstances.
When Lu Chen appeared at the first level of Demon Suppressing Tower, he discovered that the space inside was even more vast than he had imagined. It was as if he had entered a world of heavenly passages, and what he saw were densely packed cages that covered the entire expanse of land.
Moreover, it was unknown what material they were made of. Even though countless years had passed, the surface of the cages still slowly began to glow, and what was even more astonishing was that the formation on the surface of the cages had extremely powerful fluctuations. Even with Lu Chen's knowledge, they were considered to be pretty good.
Inside the cage, numerous towering giant beast were sleeping with their eyes closed, as if they were completely immersed in a sweet dream. These Demonic Beast were all weirdly shaped, some had three heads and six arms, some had ashen faces, and some were even similar to humanoids …
"The first floor holds all the Soul-breaking Stage Demonic Beast."
Before he came, Lu Chen had learned about the situation inside the Demon Suppressing Tower from Second Senior Brother, so he did not stop and walked up the Demon Suppressing Tower with steady steps.
Second floor.
Third floor.
The fourth floor.
… ….
Half an hour later, Lu Chen appeared on the fifth floor. Looking around, compared to the densely packed cages on the first floor, the number of Demonic Beast in this floor were relatively lesser, but every cage was filled with an extremely powerful aura. Even the current Lu Chen felt a sense of pressure coming from them.
That's right.
The people being held here were all Life And Death Stage ranked Demonic Beast.
Following Lu Chen's arrival, all the giant monsters in the cages opened their scarlet eyes. Instantly, the originally dark fifth floor seemed to have countless evil rays of light falling on Lu Chen.
Being stared at by over a hundred Demonic Beast, Lu Chen was not only not scared, but he also had a smile on his face. He walked straight ahead and stopped in front of a cage.
The Demonic Beast in this cage was already dead, leaving behind a mountain-like remains. Deep within the remains, there was a fist-sized energy crystal that was flickering with light. It was impressively the remnants of the Demonic Beast.
Lu Chen kept the Demonic Beast remains. After thinking for a while, he put away the Demonic Beast Crystals. Although he didn't need this kind of external training, he could still use it after Bai Tingxin and her sister or Fu Feng make a breakthrough.
