Chapter 1557: Two Paths, the Unconventional Use of the Cosmic Tower (2/5, Requesting Subscription)

"Feather Transformation Immortal Art!"

In the void, a feather appeared, radiating light with an eternal aura, elevating Su Xiao's power to its peak.

This divine art was originally created by Zhang Taixuan before his ascension, capable of boosting a normal person's combat power tenfold.

In Su Xiao's hands, its amplification became even more terrifying—reaching nearly a hundredfold.

One could say Su Xiao had brought this divine art to its zenith.

Clearly, her years of seclusion were not merely for accumulating magic power; she had also devoted great effort to refining divine arts.

Of course, this does not mean she has surpassed Zhang Taixuan.

It's simply that Zhang Taixuan hasn't revised his old divine arts in a long time.

No need.

When it comes to amplification, which divine art rivals the power of the Taixuan Dao?

He unleashes an amplification of a billionfold, ten billionfold—revising the "283" class divine art like Feather Transformation Immortal Art would be utterly pointless.

"Good!"

Seeing Su Xiao's combat power surge, Ye Hei didn't fear—he grinned happily, refining the Emperor's Fist with even greater mastery.

Behind him, an Immortal King emerged, granting him unmatched power.

It was forged from all the myriad phenomena he had condensed.

And the Immortal King's face was identical to his own.

Boom!

The two clashed, the battle intensifying further.

Xiao Mai was stunned: "Is Miss Su really this strong? I've always thought of her as a joke."

Hu Yifei chuckled: "Don't you dare let her know—if you do, you'll get beaten next."

Xiao Yan burst out laughing: "Useless. She's probably already heard. Xiao Mai, you're in trouble—after the battle ends, Su Xiao will challenge you."

Xiao Mai groaned: "No way! I can't possibly win! Brother Taixuan, save me!"

Though both are Great Luo Jinxian.

But her foundation is nowhere near as strong as Su Xiao's.

Even the several million points she spent in seclusion were earned painstakingly by cultivating spiritual herbs—how could she compare to Su Xiao, who bought every single divine art?

Zhang Taixuan laughed: "Relax. Su Xiao isn't some demon—why would she bully you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Mai finally relaxed.

"Brother Taixuan, who do you think will win?" Xiao Mai asked curiously.

Zhang Taixuan gazed at the battlefield: "The result's coming soon—just wait."

Indeed, not long after, Su Xiao made a mistake and was sealed inside the Emperor's Cauldron, losing all chance to turn the tide.

"Damn! I actually lost?" Su Xiao's face twisted in frustration. "Ye Hei, you just keep using the Emperor's Fist—can't you switch it up?"

Ye Hei sighed: "I don't have many divine arts—only the Emperor's Fist. Besides, the Emperor's Fist contains all my principles—it's more than enough."

Su Xiao pouted: "Brother Taixuan, why can't I win even after mastering every divine art you sold?"

Zhu Qing smiled lightly: "Simple. That's your husband's divine art, not yours. You're like Murong Fu, who knows everything but masters nothing—while Ye Hei is like Qiao Feng, who specializes in one thing."

Su Xiao was speechless: "I feel insulted. Murong Fu got KO'd in a few moves—I held my own against Emperor Ye for ages! And Xiao Mai called me a joke? I'm keeping this grudge!"

Xiao Mai: "Where'd you get the idea you're the Ungrudging True Lord?"

Zhang Taixuan chuckled: "You've done quite well already. But your path differs from Ye Hei's. Ye Hei specializes in one path, fusing myriad Dao principles into the Emperor's Fist—naturally, he advances swiftly, pushing the Emperor's Fist to its peak. You chose the path of complexity, striving to perfect every divine art—a long, arduous journey. Once you've brought all divine arts to their zenith, you must still find one that resonates with your innate nature to unify them, preventing them from becoming scattered."

"Only then can you fully unleash your true power. Neither path is superior—yours is just harder early on, appearing flashy but impractical. Yet in the later stages, its power becomes truly formidable."

Su Xiao perked up: "I never thought this far. Thank you, Brother Taixuan. So… will I be able to beat Ye Hei then?"

Ye Hei grinned: "You're really challenging me, huh?"

Su Xiao lifted her chin proudly: "This defeat is etched in my heart—I'll win it back someday."

Zhang Taixuan laughed: "Whether you win or not? Only battle will tell. Your path is extraordinary—but whether you can walk it successfully depends entirely on how you cultivate."

Su Xiao sniffed: "I'll become the strongest… Oh, by the way—who's fighting next?"

Xiao Mai asked curiously: "Aren't you fighting anymore, Miss Su?"

Su Xiao waved her hand: "I've fought twice—I've gauged my strength. Fighting more would be pointless."

Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Junbao exchanged glances.

"How about we fight each other?"

With that, the two Zhang Sanfengs began their battle.

After Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Junbao came the clash between the two Qin Shi Huangs.

In short, all the Great Luo cultivators in the chat group found opponents, engaging in fierce battles—using the arena's indestructible, self-preserving nature to familiarize themselves with their newfound power.

After the arena battles, everyone finally understood their true strength and mastered their sudden surge of power.

Soon after, the arena battles ended, and everyone exited the spectator mode, returning to their own worlds.

Su Xiao: "Watching everyone's fights, I realize my own strength isn't bad—at least among Great Luo, I'm top-tier."

Ye Hei: "Indeed."

Xiong Ba: "I never expected that despite breaking through to Great Luo, my power is mediocre within this realm. 'Lord of All Under Heaven'—what a hollow title."

Su Xiao: "Is Lord Xiong too preoccupied with state affairs?"

Xiong Ba: "Not really—I've handed everything to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. I don't manage anything."

Su Xiao: "Then it's the spiritual treasures and divine arts! Brother Taixuan, so many of us don't even have spiritual treasures!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Isn't that just you 4.6 idiots?"

Su Xiao: "???"

Xiao Mai: "??? What does this have to do with being stupid? Can being smart magically produce another Spirit Treasure?"

Wang Chao: "Being smart really can produce another Spirit Treasure. 【Photo】"

Su Xiao: "Huh? How did you do that? A Lower-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure? And a Flat Peach!! You also did a PY deal with Taixuan Brother."

【Ding, Su Xiao has been muted for five minutes.】

Ye Hei: "Su Xiao really dares to say that. 【Laughter】"

Wang Chao: "The Universe Tower. Projecting the Universe Tower costs only a million points per Yuan Hui—isn't that practically free? With this, even Thunder Bamboo or Flat Peach can mature easily, right?"
