Chapter 19: At the Peak of Immortality, Proud of the World, at the End, Who Is Empty?

No one knows how Tongtian Tower came to be; it seems to have existed since time immemorial.

Tongtian Tower has nine levels in total, but inside it is not a tower, but rather one after another...

Forbidden Zones!

The space within each level is equivalent to a vast world!

Those ancient Great Emperors or Ancient Supremes who were unwilling to die just like that chose to linger on here; once their time was up again, they would leave the tower without hesitation...

To launch a dark turmoil!

To strike into the Zhutian Wanjie, using the living beings of the Zhutian Wanjie as blood food to replenish their Life Essence!

Moreover, the ancient Great Emperors and Supremes lingering within Tongtian Tower are almost all the strongest few individuals from every era of the Zhutian Wanjie!

Once they leave the tower to create a dark turmoil, it is a hundred times more terrifying than an invasion from Yiyu!

Drip... drip.

Drops of fresh blood fell from Lin Potian's hands, and his entire body was already stained red with Emperor blood...

Blood was also constantly coughing from the corner of his mouth; the violent backlash of the Meteor Emperor Curse made Lin Potian tremble incessantly, and he could only barely support himself with the Heaven-Slaying Indestructible Sword to avoid collapsing!

Merely on the first level of Tongtian Tower, he had encountered an ancient Great Emperor at the peak of the Great Emperor realm!

Although this ancient Great Emperor's blood and Qi were dried up, the moment he saw Lin Potian, it was as if he had seen prey!

In an instant, he reached his ultimate sublimation!

He charged toward Lin Potian to suppress him!

And then, in the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the ancient Great Emperor was defeated!

His Emperor Weapon was also pocketed by Lin Potian!

Seeing this scene, the Foreign Five Emperors were terrified to the extreme!

This was a peak Great Emperor no weaker than any of the three—Taichu, Mangcang, or Tianni—of the Human Emperor Alliance, yet he was actually slain by Lin Potian in the time of one stick of incense??

"Terrifying...!" Sheng Hu, Tian Bao, and Mo Niu all exclaimed in horror.

"I knew it, he is not human... he is not human! I... my defeat is not unjust!"

The Dao Heart of the God-Devouring Insect Emperor had actually healed a little!

Heilong Dadi had a solemn expression and did not say a word.

Only shock!

Looking at the gate to the second level close at hand, Lin Potian shook his head and smiled: "In my current state, if I were to enter the second level immediately, I fear..."

Lin Potian knew very well that if he were to fight another battle while maintaining his peak state, he would very likely be killed by the backlash of the Meteor Emperor Curse!

But Lin Potian had no more time!

Lin Yanran had already informed him that Lin Yi had successfully entered the Wang Family!

Even though he had laid out plans in the background to successfully drag the Wang Family down again, in his heart, Lin Potian felt nothing but guilt, and more guilt!

Lin Potian's eyes were full of guilt, and he muttered in a low voice: "Yi, Yanran said you are mature beyond your years and will surely be able to stall the Wang Family's progress, but this ancestor... only feels that you are suffering! To bear the infamy of betraying your clan alone and be spurned by the family, this is not something a seventeen-year-old youth should have to endure..."

"And Hao, having his bones dug out by his own brother, living from then on in the pain of betrayal by his closest kin—it shouldn't be, it really shouldn't be!"

Pfft!

Spitting out a mouthful of black blood, Lin Potian's state was unstable to the extreme!

Just at this moment, a cold voice sounded in his mind for no reason!

"I have finally waited for you, person of the Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus!"

"Who? Who is speaking!"

Lin Potian looked around vigilantly, but apart from the Foreign Five Emperors standing far away, there was no one else!

The cold voice sounded again!

"I... am the artifact spirit of this Tongtian Tower!"

As the words fell, a wisp of extreme profundity emanated out!

"What?"

Feeling this wisp of profundity, Lin Potian gasped in shock; this Tongtian Tower actually had an artifact spirit!

In his impression, hadn't this Tongtian Tower existed since time immemorial?

The ancient Great Emperors inside had changed who knows how many batches, but this Tongtian Tower had always remained!

If this Tongtian Tower was not an object of the heavens, but a divine object possessing an artifact spirit...

He dared not even imagine what level of supreme treasure this was?

A True Immortal Artifact?

More than that...!

He had once felt the Immortal Artifacts in the hands of True Immortals that far surpassed Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, but they possessed no such terrifying rhyme of profundity!

Furthermore, since the Immortal Fall Battle of the primordial era, Longevity Substance had been scarce; even Immortals could no longer achieve longevity, with a million years of lifespan being the absolute limit!

Yet this Tongtian Tower had existed for at least ten million years!

While Lin Potian was still in shock, the next second!

Under the very eyes of the Foreign Five Emperors, he vanished!

He had entered an unknown region!

Amidst a stretch of chaos, Lin Potian seemed to see the figure of a majestic man with his back to him; the terrifying aura on his body made even Lin Potian feel deeply horrified!

Compared to this majestic figure, Lin Potian felt himself as small as dust!

A voice sounded from the mouth of the majestic man: "I have finally waited for you, the second person of the Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus besides me!"

Lin Potian was startled and spoke subconsciously: "You... who are you?"

As the words fell...

Boom!

The towering man stood up with a boom, his tall figure standing between heaven and earth, yet he still kept his back to him, his voice resounding like thunder from the nine heavens:

"At the peak of the Immortal, looking down upon the world, who is there at the end?"

"My name is a taboo! In the future, you will know it yourself!"

"However, seeing that your current state is very poor, you shall stay here for a period of time!"

The towering man turned his head, but Lin Potian had not even had time to see his face clearly...

Bang!

He was struck by a finger and fell into a deep sleep!

The Meteor Emperor Curse within his body immediately flared up!

The towering man reached out again, and an ancient book appeared in his hand, exuding an immortal aura, with the following words clearly written upon it:

"Great Saint Heavenly Emperor Art!"

He reached out once more and pressed the Great Saint Heavenly Emperor Art into Lin Potian's sea of consciousness!

After finishing everything, the towering man looked toward the distant horizon, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth, appearing as if a burden had been lifted.

With a bang!

His figure dissipated between this heaven and earth!

This man, towering as the sky, was actually just an external incarnation!

…………

Time passed like a white horse galloping past a crevice, and Lin Potian woke up faintly.

His strength had actually improved significantly compared to when he first entered!

Only then did Lin Potian know that above the Dadi Shichongtian and below the True Immortal, there was actually another realm!

The First to Nine Turns Peak Great Emperor!

Only by breaking through the Nine Turns to become a True Immortal can one become a Flawless True Immortal, also known as a Red Dust Immortal!

One can even counter-slay an Immortal King above the True Immortal!

But Immortal Kings had already gone extinct a million years ago.

And this towering man was actually a Great Emperor!

Not a Dadi, but... an Immortal Emperor!

And he was an Immortal Emperor achieved through the Holy Body Dao Fetus, sharing the same origin as Lin Potian!

The Great Saint Heavenly Emperor Art he cultivated was even more profound and extraordinary; reaching the ninth level of Great Perfection allows one to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm!

Leading directly to the Immortal Emperor!

Lin Potian did not hesitate to switch to his cultivation method!

And relying on his own foundation as a Peak Great Emperor, he broke through to the early stage of the third level in one go!

Achieving the First Turn Peak Great Emperor!

His strength surged more than three times compared to before!

But that Meteor Emperor Curse had still not been completely wiped out; about one-third remained, clinging to the depths of his body like maggots on a bone.

Holding his throbbing head, Lin Potian sat up, looked at the empty surroundings, and subconsciously muttered to himself: "How much time has passed?"

"Ten thousand years have already passed!"

In the void, the cold voice of the Tongtian Tower artifact spirit answered him!

Swish!

In just a single breath, Lin Potian's face turned deathly pale!

Ten thousand years had actually passed!

But the Lin Family had long been in jeopardy!

Then now...

"Ahhh! Why, why have ten thousand years passed! Even if I am already a First Turn Peak Great Emperor, what is the use?! My Lin Family... ah, I hate this!"

Lin Potian was in extreme pain, roaring at the sky, and this world was shaking!

At this moment, the artifact spirit's voice came coldly again: "What are you rushing for?"

"One day in the outside world, ten thousand years here!"

"The flow of time here is different from the outside world. As the successor appointed by the master, once you clear the nine levels of the Tongtian Tower, you can take me away!"

Lin Potian was stunned, his roaring stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but shout: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

The artifact spirit's voice remained cold, "You didn't ask!"

"You, you!"

Lin Potian was choked with anger, speechless!

He had to secretly tell himself not to be angry; this Tongtian Tower was an Immortal Emperor Artifact!

It was normal for a supreme divine object to be a little arrogant!

Taking a few deep breaths, Lin Potian calmed his mood and was just about to ask more about the master of the Tongtian Tower when a spatial tremor occurred...

Bang!

Lin Potian was instantly thrown out of the mysterious space and returned to the entrance of the second level of the Tongtian Tower!

A voice sounded in his heart: "You cannot ask me so much yet. When you clear the Tongtian Tower, you will be my new master! During this period, I will not say another word to you!"

After speaking, the artifact spirit's voice disappeared without a trace, and there was no more movement!

Lin Potian muttered to himself: "Quite arrogant!"

The Foreign Five Emperors in the distance were dumbfounded at this moment!

They saw with their own eyes Lin Potian disappear inexplicably, and then reappear inexplicably after a day!

"My god! What kind of situation is this?"

The Foreign Five Emperors swallowed their saliva at the same time!

"Another day delayed, I must clear the levels at the fastest speed! My clansmen... are still waiting for me!"

Lin Potian shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and raised himself to the best state to avoid the backlash of the Meteor Emperor Curse!

Holding the Heaven-Slaying Undying Sword, he stepped forward and thrust it into the gap of the second-floor gate of the Tongtian Tower!

Then, he thrust it all the way in!

Immediately, the gate swung wide open!

Endless water actually flowed out from inside!

Soon, it became a vast ocean, a flood of water...

More importantly, it was also very salty!

This water was actually...

Seawater!

Two powerful voices came from inside!

"Who is outside? To dare to trespass into the second floor of the Tongtian Tower, you are simply courting death!"

"Kneel! Otherwise, we shall strip you of your Great Emperor body!"

Although the Foreign Five Emperors were far apart, they still felt a pressure so extreme it rushed toward their faces!

The expressions of all five changed drastically at the same time!

The God-Devouring Insect couldn't help but clench its two legs together, and said with a trembling voice:

"Hiss! The aura of these two people... is actually three parts more terrifying than that ancient Great Emperor on the first floor!"
