Chapter 84: Martial Monarch is Hard to Cultivate

Third Level of the Holy Tower

A cold light appeared at the corner of Lu Li's mouth.

However, he did not intend to act immediately.

The Holy Tower was free of slaughter!

Even if they fought until the end of time inside, not a single person would die!

Since that was the case!

It was better to continue pretending not to know and hide in the shadows!

This game had only just begun; how could he let him off so easily?

Lu Li walked leisurely, letting the pressure from all sides descend upon him, and continued to comprehend.

In the blink of an eye.

Another few hours passed.

Lu Li arrived at the fifth level of the Holy Tower.

The pressure here exceeded that of the first level by more than ten times, reaching the limit of a Martial Spirit. Those Saint City Martial Spirit powerhouses who entered here, even if they reached Martial Spirit Perfection, would leave at this point.

One level higher!

The pressure here would reach the Martial Monarch level or above!

In the hundred years since the recovery of spirit energy, not a single person in the entire Saint City had been able to break such a boundary.

They didn't even dare to try!

They could only leave obediently!

"Time to go up!"

Lu Li looked at the passage to the sixth level and flashed toward it.

"Boom!"

The moment he stepped onto the sixth level of the Holy Tower, a terrifying pressure descended with a boom. The pressure was vast and mighty, like the hand of heaven suppressing downward, permeating the entire sixth level, enough to severely injure any Martial Spirit powerhouse instantly.

However, Lu Li had already broken the limit of the Martial Spirit.

This pressure merely rivaled that of a Martial Monarch who had completed one evolution in the second stage, and it could not affect him at all.

"He really came up!"

Not far from the passage.

More than twenty Martial Monarch powerhouses all looked over.

Apart from the seven people living in the Yingbin Ge, including Ling Wushuang, the others all revealed looks of intense shock.

Although the news of Lu Li breaking the Martial Spirit boundary had been spreading since the battle above the Yingbin Ge yesterday, they had chosen not to believe it without seeing it with their own eyes.

Seeing it with their own eyes at this moment.

The shock immediately swept over them!

Something that no one in the Saint City had been able to achieve in a hundred years had actually been done by this person from Qian Cheng!

Lu Li ignored them.

He merely glanced at Ling Wushuang before flashing away.

In his mind, the fused thousand-fold talent was still constantly deducing.

Just now, the moment he stepped onto the sixth level of the Holy Tower and the Martial Monarch pressure descended, the deduction in Lu Li's mind reached its limit, as if it were a natural outcome, giving him a thorough understanding of the Holy Tower's pressure.

If this continued!

He believed that it wouldn't be long before he found a way to crack it!

Smooth sailing all the way!

Until he ascended to the twelfth level of the Holy Tower!

In the blink of an eye.

Another few hours passed.

Amidst the shock of the crowd, Lu Li traveled all the way and arrived at the passage to the seventh level of the Holy Tower.

At this time, more than half of the remaining twenty-plus Martial Monarchs had left, leaving only five, including Ling Wushuang of Kun Cheng and another old man from the Eight Cities.

"Does he still want to ascend to the eighth level?" one person said in a deep voice.

"The eighth level—the pressure there is enough to rival a Martial Monarch who has completed three evolutions in the second stage. How can a mere Martial Spirit do that?" another person was also extremely shocked.

"Indeed, breaking the limit of the Martial Spirit is one thing, but to transcend a Martial Monarch who has completed two evolutions in one go—is he a monster?" the third person was also dumbfounded.

As for Ling Wushuang and the other old man, they were expressionless, showing no change.

"Boom!"

The pressure was like the sea, vast and mighty!

Lu Li also woke up from his deduction at this moment.

He looked at the passage to the eighth level, feeling the extreme pressure coming from within, his expression calm.

Calculating with his own strength.

At most, he could only rival a Martial Monarch who had completed two evolutions in the second stage.

Reaching this seventh level was the limit!

Any further, and he would be powerless!

If it were before!

Lu Li would have made the optimal choice and given up here!

But now...

"Perhaps I can give it a try!"

Lu Li flashed.

He charged into the passage to the eighth level.

"What, he actually went in!"

Everyone was struck with terror.

They had all completed more than two life evolutions in the Martial Monarch realm and knew how difficult cultivation in the Martial Monarch realm was.

That Martial Spirit cultivation.

Each evolution took decades!

But even so, one could still break through by grinding through time.

But, Martial Monarch cultivation!

A single evolution was enough to exhaust half a lifetime of a Martial Dao practitioner!

Without opportunity, even if one broke through to the Martial Monarch realm, one could only be trapped at the first evolution of the second stage of the Martial Monarch level, unable to advance a single step for the rest of one's life.

And these remaining five people!

Either possessed great opportunity or had gathered the strength of their families; otherwise, they could not have completed more than two evolutions in the Martial Monarch realm!

Powerhouses who truly possessed the combat power of a Martial Monarch who had completed more than two evolutions!

There were not many in the entire Saint City!

Each one could be called a top-tier combat power!

Could Lu Li, a mere Martial Spirit, truly achieve such a feat?

"I must go and see!"

Among the five, one person soared into the sky.

Submerging into the passage!

Ling Wushuang's expression changed. Because of the opportunity he gained from fighting Fierce Beasts, he had long ago completed two life evolutions in the Martial Monarch realm and had intended to stop here.

But now...

Spiritual light flashed over Ling Wushuang's body, and he also forcibly followed.

He had to see how far that kid could go, and whether, if Miao Bo hadn't intervened yesterday and he hadn't used the Qian Wang Peerless Order, he could have withstood Wu Shenglie's strike with his own strength.

After Ling Wushuang, the other old man from the Eight Cities also flashed and charged up.

Watching the three leave.

The remaining two shook their heads and retreated.

They had only completed two evolutions in the Martial Monarch realm and could barely stand on the seventh level of this Holy Tower; forcing their way up would only make them look more pathetic.

Trying to force it!

The losses would outweigh the gains!

At this moment.

Eighth level of the Holy Tower.

The moment Lu Li ascended, a supreme pressure descended with a boom. The pressure was vast and infinite, like a god or demon descending to the world, as if it were about to crush the entire world. The moment it fell, it caused a trace of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

"The Saint's methods truly cannot be resisted head-on!"

Lu Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Inside his body, five origin spiritual lights from his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys flashed. They echoed each other and operated within Lu Li's body in an incomparably mysterious array formation.

Body-Array Integration!

This was the only way Lu Li could find.

Through his deduction just now, he knew that the pressure here came from Yu Sheng and contained the Saint's spiritual might, pointing directly to the origin. Any external force would have nowhere to hide within it and could only be resisted by one's own body.

Even he was no exception!

Therefore, Lu Li could only modify the Five Spirits Killing Array again!

The Five Spirits Killing Array he had modified last time was based on the five origins within his body, using the mysterious array formation to fuse with the pitch-black ghost mist to create a dead zone.

And this time!

What he was borrowing!

Was the fusion power of that array!
