Chapter 174: The Secret of the Witch God Tower

  Isn't it that everyone hears similar evaluations before entering the tower? Do they meet what is called "transportation requirements"?

  A string of questions in Lin Ming's mind, at this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly began to distort, and then Lin Ming felt a dizzying sensation, his body as if blown up by a strong wind like a kite flying up.

  The body feels no weight at all, and the internal organs seem to be folded seven or eight times along with the twisted space, this feeling is so uncomfortable that it makes people want to vomit.

  After an unknown period of time, Lin Ming only felt his head sink, heavily smashing onto the hard ground. Stretching out a hand to feel it, he discovered that the ground actually had a scorching hot feeling.

  "Is this... the inner tower of the Witch God's Tower?"

  Lin Ming rubbed his aching head and looked up, only to be shocked by what he saw. Where was the Witch God's Tower? All around him was a blood-red world.

  This world stretches as far as the eye can see, with all the rocks being red, not a single blade of grass grows on the ground. In the distance, there are large expanses of dark red lakes, with huge bubbles churning in them, and a bloody aura spreads across the surface.

  Blood pool?

  Lin Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if it was true, then how much blood would that take?

  Is this in front of me an illusion? Or a truly existing world?

  Lin Ming recalled the intense discomfort he felt earlier and vaguely understood that he had just passed through a long-distance transmission array.

  Before, when Lin Ming passed through the Lava Cave's transmission array, he had a similar feeling, only it was much lighter. The Lava Cave's transmission array only transmitted over a distance of several hundred miles.

  And this time, the sense of distortion is so strong. I don't know how far I've been transported.

  At this moment, a red light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ming and gradually condensed into a huge red eye.

  Lin Ming saw this eye and his heart tightened, his body unconsciously retreated half a step. This eye gave him an extremely terrifying feeling, what was it?

  "Hello, human."

  A cold voice echoed in Lin Ming's heart, still using the divine realm language.

  "Who are you?"

  Lin Ming thought back on the journey so far. He had seen this eye pattern countless times, from the entrance of the Witch God's sacred land to the gates of the Witch God Tower and the carvings on it. Even the Witch God Key was this same pattern. Originally, Lin Ming had thought that the people of the Southern Land worshipped the power of eyes, which was why they used eyes as their totem. But unexpectedly, inside the Witch God Tower, there really was a gigantic eye like this.

  "No need to be nervous, my name is 'Ain Soph'. A flat life form that exists in the narrow gaps of space, feeding on dreams. 29,000 years ago, I was subdued by my master and became his contract beast."

  "Master? Contract beast? Could it be that your master is... a witch god?"

  "Yes, the people of Nanjiang are used to calling you that. Five thousand years ago, the master established a vast divine kingdom in Nanjiang. Two thousand years later, the master ascended to the divine realm, and the divine kingdom was inherited by the master's descendants, continuing for another ten thousand years. After that, time changed, the sea turned into mulberry fields, and the divine kingdom slowly declined."

  "From the war between humans and demons, to the beast tide explosion, then the volcanic earthquake, this vast divine country disintegrated, and after another ten thousand years, it became the present-day South Territory, with dense forests and swamps everywhere, countless ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. The original inhabitants of the country died or fled due to war and natural disasters, slowly evolving into the people of the South Territory today."

  "Twenty thousand years ago, Master Shouyuan's life was about to end. Before closing the gate of death, he returned to the southern border and saw that the divine country of his former days had become like this. His descendants had become the backward people of the southern border. With a sigh in his heart, he set up seventy-two trial towers for me to guard. Master Shouyuan hoped that through these seventy-two trial towers, he could leave some opportunities for his descendants."

  Lin Ming's heart was shocked, he had originally thought that the witch god on the Tianyan continent was powerful, but after going to the divine realm, it was just an ordinary strong person, but now listening to Yanming's description, I'm afraid the witch god is also a hegemon in the divine realm!

  It is often said that a dynasty lasts for a hundred years, a clan for a thousand years, and a sacred land for ten thousand years. If the divine country in the eyes of the masses has existed for ten thousand years, it must be a sacred land. The creator of such a sacred land must have lived for at least 30,000 years, and it is hard to imagine how powerful he was.

  "It turns out that these 72 witch god towers were left behind by the powerful gods before they closed their gates of death." Lin Ming finally understood why there were so many witch god towers in Nanjiang. The higher a warrior's cultivation, the longer their lifespan. When their lifespan was about to end and they had not yet broken through the bottleneck, they would often choose to close their gates of death. If they failed to break through, they would die and be buried in the tower.

  Closing the door is a big deal. Before closing the door, one must make sufficient preparations and cut off worldly attachments; otherwise, there will be demons in the mind.

  The divine country left by the witch god in the secular world and his later generations are one of his worldly bonds, so he returned to the south border, just to fulfill this bond. Seeing that the divine country is no longer there, he set up 72 witch god towers, giving later generations a chance, which can be considered as repaying this cause and effect, thus fulfilling his attachment.

  Later, these 72 witch god towers were discovered one after another by the people of Nanjiang. They were recognized as divine signs, which is why there was a witch god religion. As for the totem of the eyes, it was because some witches had seen this eye beast.

  All the thoughts were sorted out, Lin Ming didn't expect that behind the seventy-two witch god towers was hidden such a secret.

  "Are you willing to undergo the trial of life and death? You are the only one in the southern border who has appeared in the past 800 years as a heavenly genius. You have the qualifications to take this trial, and if you pass all the trials, you will receive great power and an artifact left by the master. This trial is not an illusion, but a real killing array. If you are no match for it during the trial, you can give up, otherwise, you may die."

  What kind of treasure would the Divine Realm's Great Ability leave behind? I don't know what it will be. And this power obtained from the trial of life and death is even more exciting for Lin Ming.

  He nodded and said: "I'm willing."

  "Alright, the Trial of Life and Death is also seven stages, only it's more difficult than the Witch God Tower. In these few hundred years, you are the only one who has participated in the Trial of Life and Death. I wish you success!"

  The eyes of the creature sparkled as its body rippled like water and gradually disappeared.

  The surrounding scene returned to that crimson world again, this crimson world was a true killing array, not an illusion!

  Lin Ming drew out the Heavy Profound Soft Silver Spear from the Mustard Seed Ring. Since it was a killing array, he could use real weapons and didn't need to conjure them up.

  "The First Trial, Hell's Boundary!"

  A voice suddenly echoed in Lin Ming's mind, and with that, the blood pool churned up a large amount of bubbles. Groups of crimson human-shaped creatures crawled out from the blood pool.

  "Blood demon!"

  It is said that in places with dense blood energy, Blood Demons are born. Blood Demons can absorb human essence and blood to strengthen themselves. Some powerful Blood Demons that have existed for a long time can even fully transform into human form, their strength comparable to that of the Innate Experts.

  Originally in the outer tower of the Witch God Tower, each floor only had two or three big cats and small cats, which were not enough to kill. Now that so many Blood Demons have appeared at once, Lin Ming's fighting spirit has also ignited.

  "Kill!"

  Lin Ming's feet moved, his body shot out like a ghost, the heavy Xuan soft silver spear drew out a long rainbow-like arc, only to hear "Puff!" "Puff!" Two blood demons were cut off at the waist!

  However, the two Blood Demons, although beheaded, did not die and instead showed a tendency to re-condense.

  "Immortal? You have a strong vitality, but it's your bad luck to meet me!"

  The long spear shook, and the true yuan vibrated like a tidal wave, surging out, its power as smooth as silk!

  "Boom! Boom!" Two loud explosions, and this pair of Blood Demons exploded into a bloody mist.

  With a burst, they thoroughly died. After the Blood Demon's death, it transformed into two formless energies that floated into Lin Ming's body, nourishing his internal Qi and blood.

  "Huh? What's this..."

  Feeling the two forces, Lin Ming was greatly shocked. He had thought that killing these Blood Demons would replenish his True Essence as before, but unexpectedly, the Blood Demons were actually replenishing the Qi and blood in his body.

  This made Lin Ming both shocked and delighted. The trial of life and death was indeed extraordinary, although the difficulty was great, but its effect was far beyond what the Witch God Tower could achieve.

  The Witch God Tower can only enhance a warrior's cultivation, while the Trial of Life and Death can comprehensively improve a warrior's strength from various aspects.

  For example, this Blood Demon, what it enhances is the power of Qi and blood.

  With powerful Qi and blood, more true essence can be accommodated, endurance is stronger, and recovery from severe injuries is easier. Even when the Qi and blood are strong to the extreme, limbs can regrow, and there is an indestructible golden body.

  A few days ago, Lin Ming swallowed that 500-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom, which was also used to replenish his Qi and blood. However, after killing just two Blood Demons, the power of Qi and blood that Lin Ming gained had already caught up with one-third of what he obtained from the 500-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom. If he continued to kill, it was unimaginable how terrifying the accumulation of this Qi and blood would be.

  As he watched the Blood Demon burst out of the blood pool, Lin Ming's heart was stirred with excitement, his battle intent surging greatly. The 5,000 strands of True Essence on the Heavy Profound Soft Silver Spear quivered like an excited dragon, the silver spear tip trembling slightly, as if emitting a thrilling hum.

  "Let's settle this once and for all!"

  Lin Mingru rushed into the Blood Demon like a shooting star, his heavy and mysterious silver spear opening and closing, like a white dragon churning in a sea of blood, wherever he passed, fresh blood boiled!

  In such a bloody battle, every shot Lin Ming made would be accompanied by a powerful vibration of true yuan, and the visible waves of air would spread out like ripples on water, causing the Blood Demon to explode into an endless mist of blood. The blood mist was so thick that it condensed in mid-air, resulting in a downpour of blood rain!!

  A massive surge of vital energy, just in this bloody rain, along Lin Ming's skin, continuously pouring into his body. For eight hundred years, only Lin Ming has participated in the trial of life and death, so this is the accumulation of 800 years of vital energy by the Witch God's sacred land, extremely powerful and pure!

  "Great!"

  "Come again!"

  Lin Ming was now covered in blood, but the more he fought, the stronger his will became. His body seemed to have endless energy, as if the aura and blood energies were constantly pouring into him, making him feel invigorated rather than exhausted.

  A ninety-nine-inch-long heavy mysterious soft silver spear, with an aura like a rainbow, sweeping across thousands of troops!
