691. The Ninth Layer of the Forbidden Tower!
"This is a true Chaos Behemoth!"
As Lin Fei drew the Chaos Behemoth into the Eternal Realm, he recognized it instantly—it was indeed a living creature. The forces within the Eternal Realm began to crush the Chaos Behemoth relentlessly.
A wet squelch sounded as the Chaos Behemoth started to disintegrate. No matter how formidable it was, against the full might of the Eternal Realm, the Chaos Behemoth could not withstand the pressure. It began to crumble bit by bit, transforming into a pure essence of flesh and blood, nourishing Lin Fei's Eternal Realm.
"Hmm?"
Somewhere deep within, Lin Fei sensed that the Forbidden Tower perhaps did not wish for the Chaos Behemoth's demise. Naturally, this made sense—it was a real life, after all.
Each Chaos Behemoth lost meant one fewer in existence, even if the tower had reserves. But how extensive could those reserves be? With one Chaos Behemoth captured by Lin Fei's Eternal Realm, the tower had one less to count on.
Yet, despite its reluctance to lose the Chaos Behemoth, the Forbidden Tower took no coercive measures. It still allowed Lin Fei to trap the Chaos Behemoth within his Eternal Realm. This, however, served as a reminder to Lin Fei.
"Perhaps, the Forbidden Tower operates on a mechanism of rules. Even as I am annihilating the Chaos Behemoth, the tower does not desire its death. Yet, maybe because I am engaged in battle with it, according to the tower's rules, this is permissible, and no one can break these sacred rules.
Therefore, even though the Forbidden Tower does not wish for me to kill the Chaos Behemoth, it does not intervene forcibly. However, this is merely the Chaos Behemoth of the eighth layer.
What about the Chaos Behemoth King of the ninth layer? How crucial it must be for the Forbidden Tower—would it intervene forcibly to prevent me from slaying the Chaos Behemoth King?
Or perhaps, the Forbidden Tower will adhere to its rules, allowing my battle with the Chaos Behemoth King of the ninth layer to proceed unimpeded? Even if I trap the Chaos Behemoth King within the Eternal Realm, it would be the same?"
Lin Fei sank into deep contemplation.
Perhaps any possibility existed. However, as Lin Fei's Eternal Realm securely trapped the Chaos Behemoth, the Forbidden Tower adjudicated that Lin Fei had emerged victorious.
A resonant hum filled the air. Before Lin Fei, a staircase materialized—it was the pathway leading to the ninth layer. The sight caused the Supreme of the eighth layer to widen his eyes, deeply shaken.
"The ninth layer...! Supreme Lin has breached into the ninth layer. How can this be? Could it be that Supreme Lin is also an Invincible Supreme, on par with Doomsday Supreme?"
So, this time, I must rely on you, Supreme Lin. We need to find a way to restrain the Chaos Behemoth King. As long as we can hold it off, over time, we will be able to wear down the Chaos Behemoth King and thus pass through the ninth layer. Of course, if we can defeat the Chaos Behemoth King, that would naturally be the best outcome!"
Doomsday Supreme had never truly envisioned defeating the Chaos Behemoth King, especially given the possibility of facing not one, but two such formidable opponents. To simply hold them off, to endure in a stalemate, would be enough. That alone would give them a chance at victory.
"Alright, let's begin," Lin Fei said, taking a deep breath. Together, he and Doomsday Supreme stepped into the combat zone.
A resounding boom echoed as they entered the ninth layer's combat area of the Forbidden Tower. Instantly, Lin Fei and Doomsday Supreme felt the environment subtly shift around them, as if they had been transported into the vast expanse of chaos itself. The surroundings were eerily empty.
However, unbeknownst to them, the entire Forbidden Tower began to tremble significantly, especially noticeable from the ninth layer downward. Nearly everyone felt the vibrations of the tower.
"What's happening? Why is the Forbidden Tower shaking?" some wondered aloud.
"It's always been stable, how could it be shaking now?" another puzzled.
"No, the Forbidden Tower shakes only when someone attempts the ninth layer," someone clarified.
"Could it be that Doomsday Supreme is making another attempt at the ninth layer?"
"Doomsday Supreme has tried the ninth layer before, but the vibrations were never this intense. Unless, of course, two are attempting the ninth layer together."
"Two people together?"
"I just heard a piece of news; Supreme Lin apparently made it to the eighth layer. Could it be possible that Supreme Lin has continued on to the ninth?"
"There's a Supreme on the eighth layer, Mystic Dragon Supreme, right?"
"Should we ask Mystic Dragon Supreme?"
Amidst these speculations, many Supremes discussed fervently, exchanging information and trying to piece together the events unfolding within the tower.
