Chapter 3741: The Final Challenge

Climbing up the spiral staircase to the twelfth floor, Su Xiao walked in the cool mist. The twelfth floor didn't look special, except for the slight weathering traces on the walls and ground rocks, everything looked very normal.

Walking forward along a corridor a few meters wide, until a pair of giant metal doors blocked the way.

【The twelfth floor of the Tower Challenge has been opened.】

【Content of this challenge: Unreachable.】

【Due to the notarization mechanism of the Watcher's Tower, even if you fail the challenge on the twelfth floor and give up the challenge, you can still receive the full reward settlement accumulated before.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao felt a bad feeling in his heart. This notarization mechanism was too loose. For the first eleven floors, once the challenge failed, all the previous accumulations would vanish, unless it was a team challenge and there were teammates who were not eliminated.

But after reaching the twelfth floor, even if the challenge failed, one could still receive the full reward accumulated before. For Su Xiao, who wanted to climb to the top of this tower to complete the trial, this was not good news, because this meant that the challenge on the twelfth floor was very difficult, so difficult that the Tree of the Void allowed challengers to give up.

【You have entered a specific area, and the corresponding temporary permission has been opened.】

【Resurrection Stone has been activated.】

At the same time this prompt appeared, Su Xiao found that dozens of faint lights lit up on the walls of the corridor beside him. Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of golden crystals were embedded in the walls, forming a technique he had never seen before.

【The Resurrection Technique has temporarily bound you. When your health drops below 0.5%, it will add an invincible shield to you and teleport you within 2 meters of this Resurrection Technique, performing a powerful healing on you, quickly restoring your health, stamina, physical energy, etc.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao felt even worse. The role of this Resurrection Technique was almost a reasonable version of resurrection. When he was about to die at the hands of a strong enemy on the twelfth floor, it would add invincibility + teleportation to him, return him to this place, and restore him to full state.

This undoubtedly reflected one point again, that the difficulty of the twelfth floor of the Watcher's Tower was no longer passable by normal means.

Su Xiao walked toward the giant metal door ahead. After walking a few steps, he found many lines of text on the ground, all carved with sharp tools:

"Damn, I gave up, Brother Ruthless."

"Shameless old guys, actually ganging up on Antler Man."

"Actually passed the death mechanism, sure enough, single-player challenge is simpler, the difficulty of each floor will decrease, Moon Witch."

"Okay, can only give up, Puppeteer."

There were not many messages. After all, few people could break into the twelfth floor, and it was even harder to break into this place as a team. The Watcher's Tower had two modes, single-player/team. The former was simpler, but the latter could accumulate reward settlement, just like now, accumulating challenge rewards to an extremely rich level.

Su Xiao stopped in front of the giant metal door. Although he knew that the challenge on the twelfth floor was ominous, and he might have to keep challenging and keep failing, he couldn't give up. If he couldn't pass this challenge, his 300-point attribute barrier couldn't be completed.

However, there was one point that made Su Xiao very puzzled. Even if this was the trial for the 300-point attribute barrier with the highest difficulty, this was too difficult. No matter what, this was a trial within the scope of Tier 9 strength. Even if it was difficult, there had to be a limit.

Moreover, the Samsara Paradise would not issue tasks that contractors had absolutely no possibility of completing, especially this kind of important trial task, all stuck at a level that a contractor could pass but needed to experience hardships, rather than the current situation that was almost a dead end.

The strength of Brother Ruthless and Puppeteer was there, both reached the Tier 9 limit, but in order to have a better foundation, they had been accumulating and not promoting to Supreme Power. This clearly showed they had the ambition to become a Supreme Power, so they accumulated for so long.

It was such a Tier 9 limit powerhouse who was cleaned up by the trial of the twelfth floor, to the point of leaving messages after giving up. The situation at that time must have been: challenge, defeat, teleported back for treatment, challenge again, fail again, until being hammered to the point of being completely confused, only then would they give up in such a tone.

Su Xiao pushed open the giant metal door, and a few wisps of dust fell. A hall came into view. After walking into it, the door behind him closed with a boom. Faint light came from the skylight of the dome. He looked up, and black mist poured down, gradually dissipating after falling to the ground.

Between the black mist, three figures appeared, and the pressure sufficient to make a Tier 9 peak combat power feel suffocated came head-on. When the black mist dissipated, the four people in the hall stared at each other, and the tense atmosphere of the boss battle instantly vanished.

The remnant souls of Marvin Waltz, Old Miefa, and the Black Mist figure were located between the black mist that had not yet completely dissipated. Even if they were remnant souls, the aura they displayed was not something a Tier 9 peak could beat.

When the Miefa faction notarized the Watcher's Tower to the Tree of the Void, they didn't intend to let ordinary challengers pass the twelfth floor. The notarization rule for the twelfth floor was that if there were still Miefa, Moon Wolf, or Watcher members with Supreme Power, then members of these three parties would act as the guardians of this floor.

If the members of these three parties all perished, then a Supreme-grade Abyss Nourishing Creature would act as the final boss of this floor.

Only a Miefa with Supreme Power, entering from the front door with the Watcher map + 30-position activation secret lock, could pass this floor.

Because entering in this way, there was no restriction that only Tier 9 could challenge the Watcher's Tower, and then fought all the way to the twelfth floor. If the twelfth floor was one of their own, then it was easy to handle, just let them pass after a show. If the twelfth floor was an Abyss Nourishing Creature, the Supreme Miefa who came here would have to defeat this creature to enter the thirteenth and fourteenth floors.

The reason for setting it up this way was to ensure that the "Super-World-Grade Sealing Technique" on the fourteenth floor could be used correctly. Only a Miefa with Supreme Power could make sense to activate this "Super-World-Grade Sealing Technique". If the strength was not strong enough, even if the combat power upper limit of the Eternal Light World was suppressed to Supreme Power, it would still not be the opponent of the four giants of the Lightless Temple.

"Bai Ye, coming here now, is it a bit too early?"

Old Miefa spoke. After hearing this, Su Xiao explained the general situation.

"Not passing this trial, you can't become a Supreme Power, so that's how it is. But there is one thing you need to know. Every time this world-grade sealing technique is activated, it can only be maintained for one month. And after this activation, whether there is a possibility of activating it again, no one knows. The Sintes dwarves who created this technique are no longer here."

Hearing this, Su Xiao felt puzzled. Before, when he went to the Dead Silence City, the God of Eternal Life sealed the Dark Continent from transcendence to the Tier 8 peak, but the world-grade sealing technique left by the previous Miefa could only be maintained for one month each time.

However, soon, Su Xiao knew what was going on. Dead Silence City and Eternal Light World were two situations. Dead Silence City could not be called sealing the combat power upper limit, but by releasing world power regardless of the consequences, the world tier of the Dark Continent permanently slipped. The role of that seal was squeezing and releasing.

Just like poking a hole in a ball, and then the seal attaches to it, continuously shrinking and squeezing, squeezing the ball flat, thus achieving the purpose of reducing the volume of the ball.

The situation in the Eternal Light World was that without poking a hole in this ball, just by the squeezing force of the sealing technique, the ball was temporarily squeezed to the size of a fist. When this sealing technique disappeared, the ball returned to its original size.

The reason for doing this was to ensure that the combat power upper limit of the Eternal Light World was high enough. Only in this way could some of the most terrifying world-destroying existences or Abyss Nourishing Creatures be sealed here later. If the combat power upper limit of the Eternal Light World became Supreme Power capped all the time, then it would be impossible to banish world-destroying existences above Supreme Power here.

Being able to temporarily seal the combat power upper limit to Supreme Power capped was not the most amazing thing. Being able to restore the original upper limit after the seal ended was the genius-level setup.

It was a pity that the Sintes dwarves were no longer here. The worst result was that the "Super-World-Grade Sealing Technique" could be activated one more time and then it would be scrapped. The best result was that it could be activated twice.

Therefore, Old Miefa had to determine one point, that is, whether Su Xiao could clean up two of the four giants of the Lightless Temple within the one month that Su Xiao was promoted to Supreme Power and the "Super-World-Grade Sealing Technique" lasted.

Eliminating all these guys who harmed the myriad worlds was naturally the best result, but this was too difficult, so Old Miefa settled for the next best thing. As long as Su Xiao could eliminate two, no, eliminate one of the four giants of the Lightless Temple, then this "Super-World-Grade Sealing Technique" was worth activating.

As for why Old Miefa and Marvin Waltz didn't do this, in fact, they also wanted to do it, but they were remnant souls now. In 99% of cases, they couldn't exert their abilities during their lifetime, unless there was an environment notarized by the Tree of the Void like the twelfth floor of the Watcher's Tower, allowing them to have a continuous soul plating outside their soul bodies, thereby being able to stably exert combat power.

Although these three unscrupulous old guys still had Supreme Power means, Supreme Power knowledge and understanding, they were definitely not Supreme Powers. To be precise, they were remnant souls capable of one or two Supreme Power-level attacks, but the cooldown was very long. They would make two moves and then cooldown for half a month. Under such circumstances, let alone dealing with world-destroying existences, they couldn't even deal with ordinary Supreme Powers.

Of course, ordinary Supreme Powers didn't dare to provoke these three unscrupulous old guys.

"If possible, eliminate the Star Realm Devourer. His Undying Origin has been exhausted."

Marvin Waltz spoke. This suggestion seemed outrageous, but in fact, it was well-considered. The previous Miefa locked these top world-destroying existences into the Eternal Light World, not just to imprison them, but to gradually consume their Undying means with the extreme elemental power here.

For example, the Star Realm Devourer's "Undying Origin" would become more abundant as it devoured planets, and being locked in the Eternal Light World for tens of thousands of years, the Star Realm Devourer's "Undying Origin" had already been exhausted. This was the best time to kill this myriad world disaster.

"The Ancestor is more dangerous. His blood core has long dried up. It took nearly 100,000 years of imprisonment for his blood core to dry up. He should be eliminated first."

Old Miefa's view was different. Compared to the two, the Black Mist figure was obviously more reliable. He said, "Compared to choosing who, shouldn't we consider whether Bai Ye can win? And if Bai Ye loses, how should we deal with the aftermath?"

"This is not needed."

Marvin Waltz's attitude was exceptionally firm. He smiled and said, "If Bai Ye loses, the probability of surviving is minimal. If he dies, Miefa luck will also be silent. At that time, our two Miefa remnant souls will also completely dissipate because of this. Bai Ye dies, we two completely dissipate, what aftermath is there to deal with? Moreover, whether to deal with these world-destroying existences is decided by Bai Ye himself."

Hearing this, the Black Mist figure was speechless for a while. He didn't know how to refute what the other party said.

"You go. We all believe in you. Whether to deal with those world-destroying existences is decided by yourself."

As soon as Marvin Waltz's words fell, the skylight at the top opened, and the metal spiral staircase descended with a click.

Just at this moment, Marvin Waltz suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, are the "Origin Fragments" for promoting to Supreme Power enough?"

"Not enough."

"How much is missing?"

Marvin Waltz's face was already a bit painful.

"Six pieces."

"I have four here. For the remaining two, find a way yourself."

Marvin Waltz threw a small cloth bag. Su Xiao raised his hand to catch it. He originally wanted to try his luck to see if "Origin Fragments" could appear in the rewards of "Hunting List · Blood Contract". Now it seemed that even if there were no "Origin Fragments" in this reward, the probability of gathering the remaining six pieces was not low.

Just after Su Xiao left, the expressions of the three black-hearted old grandfathers gradually had a feeling of holding back laughter. Old Miefa asked, "You two say, can this kid pass?"

"I think it's hanging, but even if he can't pass, if he comes again next time, he will definitely be able to."

Marvin Waltz, who had just encouraged Su Xiao, was laughing exceptionally unscrupulously at this moment.

"At this time, shouldn't you be worried about the safety of the junior?"

The Black Mist figure, who was the most serious among the three, shook his head. Hearing this, Old Miefa said, "There is also a Resurrection Technique on the fourteenth floor, and he won't die in the clash, what is there to worry about."

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we go to the fourteenth floor first and find a hidden place to watch the battle from the dark?"

Marvin Waltz, who was just a Miefa mentor and gave Su Xiao four "Origin Fragments", suddenly returned to the style of an unscrupulous mentor.

"Good idea."

The three black-hearted old grandfathers opened a secret passage and walked into it, preparing to arrive at the fourteenth floor faster than Su Xiao.

Arriving at the thirteenth floor along the spiral staircase, just after Su Xiao arrived here, he received a prompt...

【Prompt: Your team has passed the Unreachable challenge. Do you want to settle the challenge rewards?】

【Cumulative reward settlement has been selected. For every round of challenge completed, this reward will increase by 3 times.】

【Do you want to collect the rewards, or continue to accumulate, up to the final challenge of completing the fourteenth floor.】

【Because the challenge of the eleventh floor has been completed, if the challenger fails or gives up during the period, they can still collect the full reward accumulated before.】

Su Xiao chose to continue to accumulate. Now he was on the thirteenth floor, and he felt a coldness deep into his soul coming from all directions. Everything in view was black and white, as if the colors of this place had been extracted.

This was a dilapidated workshop. Because there were no colors on the thirteenth floor, it made this place look even more lonely.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

The sound of the forging hammer came. Su Xiao walked toward the sound source. After passing several semi-collapsed and severely weathered walls, the dark red of the flame came into view.

This was a blacksmith furnace, and the fire inside was burning. Under the reflection of the firelight, the surrounding things recovered a little color. A figure more than ten meters high was sitting there, holding a smaller forging hammer, beating a rough blank. This forging hammer looked small in the hands of this giant blacksmith, but in fact, the hammer head was nearly half a meter long and as thick as a water bucket.

This giant blacksmith's skin was rough, his beard was braided and hung down, his hair was loosely draped behind him, and his right arm was embedded with metal armor plates, looking like it had melted into his skin.

"Hmm?"

The giant blacksmith turned his head to look at Su Xiao, looked for a moment, and said in a voice like a bell, "Long time no see... friend, where did you... go."

The giant blacksmith would pause occasionally when speaking, as if his tongue had been injured before, and his speech was not very clear.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Seeing this, the giant blacksmith, the Molten Giant, nodded, "Don't want to say... it doesn't matter. Although we are... friends, everyone... has... their own secrets."

The Molten Giant smiled, and then focused on the armor rough blank on the forging table. Among the three legendary blacksmiths, compared to the arrogance and strength of the Demon Blacksmith and the majesty and calmness of the Dwarf King, the Molten Giant was the kindest.

"Are you trapped here?"

Su Xiao looked around, but didn't see any spiral staircase leading upward.

"Originally not, later the teleportation array here broke. Don't... worry about me. Wait a few thousand... ten thousand years, the part of this tower not notarized by the Void Tree will collapse, and then I can go out."

The Molten Giant was exceptionally calm. For other creatures, a few thousand or ten thousand years were very long, but as the last Fire Giant, the Molten Giant might sleep for hundreds of years, so this was not a long time for him.

"I'll take you out later."

Leaving this sentence, Su Xiao walked toward the inside of the workshop. After searching, he finally found the teleportation array that the Molten Giant said was broken.

This was a directional teleportation array. After Su Xiao tried to repair it, he found that the function of teleporting directly out was impossible to repair, but teleporting to the fourteenth floor was no problem. The technique in this regard had been specially strengthened.

Su Xiao activated the teleportation array. The activation speed was a bit slow. At the very least, it would take half an hour for the technique on it to be reawakened. Just at this moment, a prompt appeared.

【Bounty settlement completed.】

【You have become the winner in the game with the Eyeless Apostle.】

【Bounty amount is: 6000 ounces of Space-Time Power.】

【You have obtained Space-Time Stone Fragment × 400 (this is an equivalent, selling it to Samsara Paradise can obtain 4000 ounces of Space-Time Power).】

【You have obtained Treasure Box (this item is equivalent to the value of 500 ounces of Space-Time Power in this judgment).】

【You have obtained Power Essence · two standard units (this item is equivalent to the value of 1500 ounces of Space-Time Power in this judgment).】

A 【Treasure Box】 and two containers of 【Power Essence】 appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He checked the attributes of 【Power Essence】 and found that before being promoted to Supreme Power, there was no relevant permission to check the use of this thing.

【Power Essence】 was sold in the Honor Store, but the inventory was temporarily 0. However, one point was that the 【Power Essence】 in the Honor Store was 350 ounces of Space-Time Power per piece, which was much cheaper than the lowest selling price in the Great Gathering Place.

The bounty for the Apostle Game had been completed, and the bounty for rescuing the Molten Giant depended on whether there was a teleportation array leading to the outside world on the fourteenth floor of the Watcher's Tower. There were multiple space blockades here, and the only teleportation channels to the outside were these teleportation arrays notarized by the Tree of the Void.

After the teleportation array on the thirteenth floor was activated, Su Xiao started it. Space mist emerged around. When these mists dissipated, Su Xiao arrived at the fourteenth floor. He was in a small room. This room was about ten square meters. On the wall in front, golden crystals were embedded, which was a Resurrection Technique.

【The Resurrection Technique has temporarily bound you. When your health drops below 0.5%, it will add an invincible shield to you and teleport you within 2 meters of this Resurrection Technique, performing a powerful healing on you, quickly restoring your health, stamina, physical energy, etc.】

Seeing this thing, Su Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling. He walked out of the small room without a door and arrived at an open field. Faint light shone from above, and there seemed to be whispers in the air.

A figure stood under the faint light, holding a sharp sword in its sheath. She wore a long black dress, her temperament was soft and beautiful, her eyes were pitch-black, and her black-blue crystal prosthetic limb became more translucent toward the hand, and there was still a beautiful light blue feeling at the fingertips. However, this hand with a sense of beauty had already gripped the hilt of the sharp sword. It was the Dark Girl.

"Miefa lord, I am the guardian of the tower. Before you become a Supreme Power, you cannot use the technique here. This is part of the duty I have been given, engraved in my soul. I cannot violate it, so please defeat me, Miefa lord."

Zing~

The sharp sword in the Dark Girl's hand was unsheathed. The whole sword was 1.3 meters long, the hilt occupied one-third of the whole sword, no handguard, and the blade looked exceptionally sharp. At the end of the sharp sword's hilt, a one-time "Resurrection Technique" was temporarily added by the Tree of the Void, representing that this battle would not result in killing the Dark Girl. When her health dropped below 5%, it would be the challenger's victory.

"On the way here, I accidentally fell into a trap. The seal in the trap made me temporarily not a Supreme Power, but I will not show mercy, Miefa lord."

The tip of the sharp sword in the Dark Girl's hand pressed against the ground. Only by defeating her could one pass all the challenges of the Watcher's Tower.
