688. Forbidden Tower
"Alright! Doomsday Supreme, I agree to join you in venturing into the Forbidden Tower," Lin Fei consented to the Doomsday Supreme's proposal.
The Forbidden Tower intrigued Lin Fei, not least because of the two Behemoth Kings dwelling within it. Their allure was undeniable. If he succeeded in assimilating them, how far might his Eternal Realm advance?
Perhaps it could reach 100%—a complete transformation. Even if he couldn't assimilate them, Lin Fei wouldn't be in danger.
Moreover, if he didn't assimilate them, he could still attempt to conquer the ninth level and transform his body to see if he could become a chaos entity. Regardless of the outcome, there seemed to be benefits in all scenarios. If it proved fruitless, Lin Fei could simply retreat. As long as it didn't kill him, there was no loss for him.
"Good, Supreme Lin, with your assistance, I am certain we can conquer the ninth level of the Forbidden Tower and accomplish the transformation of my body!"
The Doomsday Supreme was delighted. Lin Fei's agreement was an unexpected joy. In truth, although this visit was for Lin Fei, the Doomsday Supreme did not hold much hope. Over his many years traversing the chaos, he had encountered many exceptionally talented Supremes.
Yet, none had achieved the status of an Invincible Supreme like he had. Initially, he too thought Lin Fei might merely be a top-tier Supreme, perhaps reliant on special techniques or unique treasures to defeat other top-tier Supremes.
However, after visiting and battling with Lin Fei, the Doomsday Supreme realized the truth. The rumors were not just empty talk; in fact, they were understated. Lin Fei was not just close to being an Invincible Supreme—he truly was one!
The Doomsday Supreme could not best him, which was an unexpected but welcome surprise. Having found Lin Fei, the Doomsday Supreme no longer needed to search elsewhere for another Invincible Supreme.
"Supreme Lin, please think it over! The Forbidden Tower is genuinely perilous," the Clairvoyant Supreme continued to caution Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded and responded, "No worries, if anything seems amiss, I will simply leave. Apart from the Masters of Chaos, I do not believe any force can pose a threat to me." This was Lin Fei's confidence—his belief in his own strength and abilities.
Doomsday Supreme reassured Lin Fei with a smile, "Supreme Lin, rest assured. The Forbidden Tower is indeed dangerous, but if I can venture to the ninth level, you certainly have no reason to worry."
"When shall we depart?" he inquired.
Lin Fei replied without hesitation, "There's no time like the present. Let's set off now."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Together, Lin Fei and the Doomsday Supreme transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the depths of the chaos. Watching their departing figures, the Clairvoyant Supreme shook his head and sighed deeply, "Invincible Supremes! Even they are striving to become Masters of Chaos. What reservations should I have?"
The Clairvoyant Supreme seemed to have made up his mind. He had been studying the chaos bead, harboring some hesitations. But now, he was resolved, with no more doubts lingering in his mind.
...
The Forbidden Tower stood imposingly in the chaotic void, its origins unknown, yet many were aware of its complexity. Once, a Master of Chaos tried to force his way into the Forbidden Tower but was repelled right at the first level, even sustaining serious injuries.
If the Master of Chaos had not swiftly retreated, he might have perished. The mere fact that the tower could challenge a Master of Chaos spoke volumes about the power of its creator, surely a being greater than any Master of Chaos.
At this moment, many Supremes were attempting to enter the Forbidden Tower. Each passage through the tower offered certain rewards, sometimes even rare treasures, which is why many Supremes were drawn to challenge it.
Moreover, the internal space of the Forbidden Tower was vast, capable of accommodating numerous challengers without issue. The only problem was the inherent danger of the tower; those lacking sufficient strength might perish.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Soon, two figures approached the vicinity of the Forbidden Tower.
"We've arrived! This is the Forbidden Tower!" Doomsday Supreme announced as he and Lin Fei arrived from Kunyu City.
It was Lin Fei's first time seeing the Forbidden Tower. The structure simply loomed quietly in the chaotic void, surrounded by many Supremes. Lin Fei and the Doomsday Supreme were just two among many, though they hadn't caused any commotion.
However, the presence of the Doomsday Supreme, who was no ordinary Supreme, made them stand out. Many Supremes had seen the Doomsday Supreme before, and his presence now caused quite a stir of surprise.
"It seems the Supreme of Doomsday has returned to the Forbidden Tower?"
"The Supreme of Doomsday had long ago reached the ninth floor of the Forbidden Tower. However, it appears he was thwarted there, unable to breach the ninth level."
"Now that the Supreme of Doomsday has returned to the Forbidden Tower, does he intend to attempt it once again?"
"In truth, as I see it, there is no need for further attempts. As an Invincible Supreme, he has assailed the ninth floor countless times. If he has not succeeded, it stands to reason that the ninth level of the Forbidden Tower is simply beyond even an Invincible Supreme."
"That is not necessarily the case. The Forbidden Tower, barring entry to the Masters of Chaos, and the Invincible Supreme being second only to them in realm. The Tower has nine levels; can it really just be for show?"
"Since the Forbidden Tower was designed with nine levels, it must be that a Supreme of such stature can indeed conquer the ninth. Perhaps the Supreme of Doomsday merely lacks something in certain respects, which is why he has failed to conquer it."
"Indeed, in all of Chaos, the Supreme of Doomsday seems to be the only Invincible Supreme thus far. We can only observe as he challenges the Forbidden Tower, his true strength among the Invincible Supremes still unclear to us."
"Wait, who is that Supreme beside the Supreme of Doomsday? From the looks of it, the Supreme of Doomsday seems to hold this stranger in high regard, as if viewing him as an equal."
"How peculiar, the Supreme of Doomsday is known for his high regard for himself..."
Many murmured upon sighting the Supreme of Doomsday.
Indeed, speaking of the matters concerning the Supreme of Doomsday could well fill three days and nights. Suddenly accompanied by an unfamiliar Supreme, And yet, his demeanor was most cordial. Many Supremes, indeed, found this odd.
Lin Fei glanced at the many Supremes. He was unconcerned. The Supreme of Doomsday was similarly indifferent. In Lin Fei's gaze lay only the Forbidden Tower before him.
"The Forbidden Tower..." Lin Fei murmured softly. He could sense the grandeur and mystery of the Forbidden Tower. A presence that surpassed even the Masters of Chaos.
What realm might that be?
Lin Fei was uncertain. But the Forbidden Tower indeed exceeded his expectations.
"Supreme of Doomsday, can you directly ascend to the ninth floor of the Forbidden Tower?" Lin Fei suddenly inquired.
"Indeed, once you've breached the tower, upon leaving and re-entering, you return to your previous position."
Lin Fei, thoughtful, continued, "So you say, you can directly reach the ninth level, while I must fight my way up slowly?"
"Indeed, you must ascend, one level at a time, slowly making your way. However, this is not much of an issue. From the first to the eighth level, for us Invincible Supremes, it is not too challenging, and easily surmountable. If you were to reach the ninth level, you might not even need a day's time."
Lin Fei nodded.
"Since that is the case, then I ask the Supreme of Doomsday to wait a few hours."
With that, Lin Fei took to the skies, heading directly for the Forbidden Tower.
