Tower of Trials

Mu Feng was knocked to the ground as his gaze turned cold. However, this coldness only appeared for a moment before it disappeared. He quickly got up and did not dare to say a word.

Roar!

At this moment, within the pool, the Black Tortoise's eyes were filled with warning as it stared coldly at Mu Feng and the Heavenly Insect's shadow. Then, it entered the pool and chased after Zhuowen. It was responsible for guarding the inheritance within the pool. Naturally, it would not allow any fish to escape the net.

"Lord!

The Black Tortoise has left. It should be chasing after Zhuowen. Should we enter the pool now? "Mu Feng's eyes flashed as he asked.

"Idiot, do you think that the Black Tortoise is stupid?

The Black Tortoise has already set up the Array of the Book of Luo above the pool. That is the most powerful maze. Even I can't find the entrance now. "

"Originally, I was holding the Black Tortoise back so that he could not unleash the Array of the Book of Luo. Coincidentally, the entrance appeared. However, I did not expect that Zhuowen would be the first to get to it."

The Heavenly Insect's face was ugly as it looked at Mu Feng with an unfriendly gaze.

Mu Feng was a yes-man, not daring to say anything. However, his eyes were filled with a sliver of coldness and venom. Mu Feng was an extremely scheming person. All along, he had been the one to scheme against others. Now, he had actually been tricked by Zhuo Wen.

"Right now, we can only wait. Wait for Zhuowen to come out. If he has really obtained the inheritance of that old fart, we will snatch the inheritance back from him when he comes out." The Heavenly Insect's shadow said calmly.

Mu Feng's eyes flickered as he spoke in a somewhat worried manner, "Zhuo Zheng possesses an extremely powerful dragon soul. After breaking through to the Emperor Realm, the strength he has displayed is extremely frightening. If he truly comes out, will we really be able to stop him?"

"My strength is constantly increasing. When that kid comes out, I might be able to forcefully break through the seal. At that time, a mere Zhuowen will be nothing …"

However, before the Heavenly Insect's shadow could finish speaking, its face suddenly froze. It cursed in a low voice, "Damn it. That group of Demon Soldiers has actually walked out of the Emperor's Tomb and started massacring my clones. Bastards."

At this moment, in the sky above the Sea of Misery, the gigantic Demon God's shadow swept across the void as it chased after the Heavenly Insect's clones.

The Demon God's shadow was extremely powerful. The Sea of Misery's Sea of Misery had a strong gravitational force.... but in front of the Demon God's shadow as it was still able to fly across the Sea of Misery at an extremely fast speed.

Half of the Celestial Swarm avatars that had spread throughout the Sea of Misery were destroyed by the Demon God's shadow. The remaining ordinary Celestial Swarm avatars shrieked and retreated. They did not dare to fight the Demon God's shadow.

The Heavenly Insect's clones that had retreated all retreated into the Emperor's Tomb under the guidance of the Heavenly Insect. Although half of them had been destroyed by the Demon god's shadow, the remaining half had absorbed the energy from the flesh and blood of quite a few cultivators. Overall, the Heavenly Insect's strength was constantly increasing.

"I can't go to the Sea of Misery. I can only enter the Emperor's Tomb first. I'm still a hair away from breaking free," the Heavenly Insect frowned as it murmured to itself.

Its gaze landed on the pool before it. It knew that the most important thing for it to break free right now was the legacy of the old bastard in the pool. As a result, once Zhuowen really did emerge, it had to snatch it away at all costs.

At this moment, Mu Feng discovered that the aura of the Heavenly Insect's shadow beside him was constantly increasing. Surprise filled his eyes.

"My lord, your aura …" Mu Feng said softly.

"I've summoned all the Heavenly Insect's clones from the Sea of Misery and merged them into my body. What's detestable is that I'm still a little lacking in energy. It's all because of that damned Demon Soldier. He actually dared to come out of the Emperor's Tomb and destroy my Heavenly Insect's clones," the Heavenly Insect said coldly.

Hearing this, Mu Feng nodded his head. His eyes flickered and no one knew what he was thinking.

…

In the deep, ice-cold pool, a figure with three pairs of lightning wings on his back continued to sink, causing waves to surge in the water.

"Hmm?

I've already been in this pool for an incense stick's worth of time. Why do I feel that this pool is so deep that I can't see the bottom? "

Suddenly stopping, Zhuowen looked around at the endless darkness of the underwater world. His brows furrowed. He felt that he had lost his sense of direction and had no idea where to go.

"Zhuowen, there's an array of the Book of Luo in this pool. Although you've just entered the entrance of the pool, if you don't break the array of the Book of Luo, it won't be easy to find the legacy in the pool," Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang out.

"Is it the array of the Book of Luo?

Previously, Mu Feng had been longing for the River Diagram Array. Perhaps the key to breaking the array of the Book of Luo is the River Diagram Array. You can try the River Diagram Array, "Xiao Hei continued.

Hearing this, Zhuowen nodded his head. His right hand tapped on his forehead. The instant he took out the jade cauldron, a water pillar shot towards him. Fortunately, Zhuowen reacted in time. He took a step forward and dodged the water pillar. Soon after, his cold gaze landed on the huge black figure that was rushing towards him.

"It's the divine turtle that's chasing after me."

Zhuowen quietly stared at the turtle shell that was engulfed by countless water tornadoes. However, he felt a trace of nervousness in his heart. The divine turtle was extremely powerful and was almost comparable to the Heavenly Insect Shadow. If Zhuowen wasn't nervous, it would be a lie.

"This array of the Book of Luo was set up by an Arcane Saint Master. The power it can unleash is indeed terrifying. If you can reach the realm of an Arcane Saint Master, the array you set up will only be stronger, not weaker," Xiao Hei indifferently said, perhaps because she felt the reverence in Zhuowen's heart.

Zhuowen nodded his head and said, "Then I'll try the River Diagram Array. After all, I have the complete River Diagram Array on me. I wonder if I can trigger the divine turtle."

As he spoke, Zhuowen took a deep breath. His right hand patted the jade cauldron. The River Diagram engraved on the jade cauldron exploded with a blazing light. Soon after, Zhuowen gathered Mental Energy in his hands and sketched out a mysterious path in the air. One could only see the River Diagram Array being drawn.

Aowuu!

A huge Draconic Horse galloped out of the River Diagram Array while stepping on the Yellow River. It quietly stared at the approaching Godly Turtle.

Whoosh!

When it was about a hundred meters away from the Dragon Horse, the divine turtle's huge body stopped. It looked down at the Dragon Horse that was much smaller than itself. There was a trace of surprise in its eyes. It could feel that although the Dragon Horse in front of it was much weaker than it, the aura it gave off was very intimate.

Its gaze landed on the complete River Diagram on the Dragon Horse's back. There was a trace of sadness in its eyes as it softly said with a hoarse voice, "The River Diagram … The complete River Diagram … Master's unfulfilled wish … You … Have you completed it?"

The divine turtle's gaze moved away from the Dragon Horse and landed on Zhuowen. The hostility in its eyes slowly disappeared. Instead, it revealed a strange sense of intimacy.

Looking at the intimacy in the eyes of the divine turtle, Zhuowen's gaze revealed a trace of surprise. However, he also knew that it should be attributed to the complete River Diagram Array.

"Back then, Master had said that if anyone could complete the complete River Diagram Array, then they would have the qualifications to become his disciple. Follow me."

The divine turtle's voice resounded in Zhuowen's mind. He knew that this was the divine turtle's voice transmission. Soon after, he saw the divine turtle slowly walking in front of him. It bent down and gestured for him to stand on its turtle shell.

Although this unforeseen event was a little dramatic, Zhuowen was not too surprised. Long ago, when Mu Feng's strange attitude towards him, he already knew that the complete River Diagram Array on his body would definitely play an important role in the Emperor's Tomb. Now, everything was clear. This role was related to the inheritance of the Emperor's Tomb's master.

The divine turtle's speed was extremely fast. It was like a bolt of lightning in the pool. In about half an incense stick's time, it reached the bottom of the pool.

"This array of the Book of Luo is really mysterious. It's like a maze, trapping people in the pool."

While the divine turtle was moving, Zhuowen was constantly paying attention to his surroundings. Soon after, he realized that every time the divine turtle moved, it would follow a specific path. Although it seemed messy and disorderly, it actually contained a trace of a special pattern. He knew that the divine turtle's steps should be the method to break out of the array of the Book of Luo.

At the bottom of the pool, there were pieces of black reefs. Upon closer inspection, there were traces of buildings on these reefs. Perhaps a long time ago, these were the remains of a building.

The divine turtle landed in front of a tower-like reef. The surface of this reef was covered with dark green seaweed and moss. Its surface revealed a trace of an ancient aura.

Zhuowen stepped down from the turtle shell. His gaze landed on this reef. Only now did he see that this reef was actually a tall tower. However, because the surface was covered with moss, it looked like a reef.

At the bottom of this tower, there was an arched stone door. However, at this moment, the stone door was tightly shut.

The divine turtle pointed at the stone door and said in a deep voice, "Human, this is the Tower of Trials set up by my master. If you can pass through the Tower of Trials, my master's inheritance will be yours. Also, before you enter, you have to tell me your name first."

"Zhuowen!"

Zhuowen said indifferently. Then, he continued, "I can pass through the Tower of Trials to obtain the inheritance?"

"Not necessarily. It depends on your performance inside. If you can achieve a satisfactory performance, even if you don't pass, you'll still be qualified to receive the inheritance. It all depends on your performance," the Black Tortoise said calmly.

"Since it's a trial, there should be a certain degree of danger, right?" Zhuowen asked indifferently.

The divine turtle nodded and said, "Of course. You were able to draw the complete River Diagram Array. This has already proven your talent. If you can't even pass through the Tower of Trials, then it can only be said that you drew the River Diagram Array by luck."

"Towards such a trial taker with a fluke mentality, my master will naturally not be kind. He will kill all of them. You're on your own now."
