Just as
Seeing the Demon Lord stand up,
The bizarre youth's strength was unfathomable — he had definitely already reached the Demigod level!
The Demon Lord merely gave Duan Jian a casual glance, then silently made his way toward the staircase leading to the third floor.
Seeing the Demon Lord's actions, Duan Jian let out a slight breath of relief. He could sense that the other party's strength was far from simple, and if a fight truly broke out, he'd have almost no chance of winning. But since the Demon Lord's only goal was to reach the third floor of the Black Flame Tower, there was no need to worry. It was best to avoid conflict if possible.
Just as the Demon Lord was about to set off,
Cang Ming shot a hostile glance at the Demon Lord. He could sense that the Demon Lord's strength was not inferior to his own, so he didn't go out of his way to provoke him. Instead, he simply stepped onto the stairs a beat ahead of the Demon Lord and made his way toward the third floor. Cang Ming was the competitive type — he always had to be first. So he absolutely had to set foot on the third floor before the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow slightly, but he didn't compete with Cang Ming. He simply followed behind, and the two ascended the spiraling staircase, gradually disappearing around the bend at the top.
Many people were already struggling immensely on the second floor of the Black Flame Tower, let alone making it to the third.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, several more people stood up one after another —
Even some heads of the great noble families had no choice but to remain on this floor obediently. Although many of them possessed cultivation far superior to Cang Ming and the others, the Black Flame within the tower completely disregarded cultivation level. What was needed was exceptional soul resilience.
In the end, only about a dozen or so people stood up and made their way to the third floor.
Nie Li's soul drifted into a state of ethereal calm, entering a mysterious and transcendent realm.
"The limitless has no beginning, and no beginning means no end!"
These words echoed ceaselessly in Nie Li's mind, as if the incantation itself were driving them forward. The vine within his Soul Sea sprouted countless new leaves, and on one of its branches, a flower bud began to form.
The flower bud was plump and full, as if it could burst into bloom at any moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the incantation's power, three types of law forces hammered against the barrier of the Legendary breakthrough, like tsunamis crashing against a cliff.
Hummmm!
Within his Soul Sea, a powerful wave rippled outward. The barrier to the Legendary realm shattered instantaneously, and the law forces surged wildly in all directions like a dam breaking apart.
Nie Li's Soul Sea filled to the brim, but that wasn't enough — the power surged outward like a tidal wave, flowing into the Soul Seas of
The sheer magnitude of the power was overwhelming.
Although Nie Li had only just advanced from Black Gold Five Star into the Legendary realm, the density of his law forces was more than ten times greater than that of ordinary cultivators at the same level. Those law forces completely flooded the Soul Seas of Ye Ziyun and the others.
Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and the rest were in the midst of cultivation when they felt the immense torrent of law forces. Their Soul Seas were under immense pressure, and they couldn't help but frown. Their Soul Seas simply couldn't accommodate such a vast quantity of law forces, and under that pressure, their Soul Seas expanded at an uncontrollable rate.
After a long while, Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and the others opened their eyes, gasping for breath, drenched in sweat.
The flood of law forces that had poured in from Nie Li was almost unbearable. But it had also propelled their cultivation forward dramatically — Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, and
Looking at Nie Li, who still sat with his eyes closed in meditation, the group couldn't help but shudder.
Nie Li's Soul Sea capacity was truly terrifying — just the overflow alone was enough to fill their Soul Seas several times over. If their soul resilience hadn't been high enough, their Soul Seas might well have burst.
"This guy Nie Li is seriously a freak," Lu Piao said with a click of his tongue from the side. That terrifying wave of law forces had nearly killed him.
Nie Li suddenly opened his eyes, divine light radiating from his gaze. He had now entered the Legendary realm. Combined with his mastery of three types of law forces, he was no longer inferior even when facing Demigod-level powerhouses. Even Nie Li himself didn't know just how far his combat strength could reach if he truly went all out.
"Let's head to the third floor of the Black Flame Tower," Nie Li said calmly.
The terrifying aura radiating from Nie Li's body startled many Demigod-level powerhouses on the same floor. They all turned to look in his direction, their eyes filled with deep shock and astonishment.
