Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1003 - 312: Conquering the Ninth Floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the Immortal Martial Realm Trembles! The Martial Ancestor Arrives, a Shocking Opportunity!
Lu Changsheng did not know that the Heaven-Reaching Tower had already severed its connection with the Observation Tower Pavilion.
Now, no one could see what was happening inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower with Lu Changsheng.
However, whether someone was watching or not, Lu Changsheng didn't care.
He had reached this point and certainly could not abandon halfway.
"Whoosh."
Lu Changsheng's figure appeared on the ninth layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
Compared to the previous eight layers, the ninth layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower was indeed different.
As soon as Lu Changsheng stepped in, he felt a sense of weightlessness enveloping his body.
Moreover, all around was pitch-black.
Well, not completely pitch-black.
There were also large expanses of radiance.
Within these radiances, vague mist-like shapes were visible.
They seemed infinitely deep.
As if containing worlds one after another.
"Where is this..."
Lu Changsheng's eyes widened in astonishment.
This wasn't the starry sky.
Nor was it the night sky.
He couldn't discern where he was.
"Shua."
In an instant, it seemed a dazzling light pierced directly through this void.
Lu Changsheng saw it.
What an awe-inspiring sight was this?
A singular colossal head, like a city, a mountain peak.
No, even larger by several times.
The giant eyes within glimmered with divine luster, imparting immense pressure upon Lu Changsheng.
The head then moved.
Behind it stretched an incomparable gigantic form.
Dragon!
Lu Changsheng immediately guessed; this should be the tower spirit of the ninth layer, a life of the Boundary Sea, the "Old Dragon" named by Kui Niu.
"Finally, someone has reached the ninth layer."
"This ninth layer mimics the space of the Boundary Sea."
"Thus, you can understand it as if now you are in the Boundary Sea."
"However, beings born within the world usually cannot survive below Martial Supreme in the Boundary Sea. Only lives born within the Boundary Sea are unaffected."
The "Dragon" was speaking.
"May I ask who you are?"
Lu Changsheng inquired.
"I am the tower spirit of the ninth layer, a Muddy Dragon clan creature from the Boundary Sea, Zhuo Longshang!"
The old dragon's tone was tranquil, yet its voice rumbled like thunder, echoing throughout the void of the ninth layer.
"Muddy Dragon clan?"
"Is this life unique to the Boundary Sea?"
Lu Changsheng had never heard of Muddy Dragons.
In truth, there are dragons in the Immortal Martial Realm too.
For example, Flood Dragons.
But indeed, Flood Dragons aren't strong.
At least, Flood Dragons in the Immortal Martial Realm are truly trivial.
Not to mention comparing to Heavenly Saints. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
They can't even compare to Martial Saints.
Perhaps, they're just at the Divine Power Realm.
But the Muddy Dragon before him was different.
This "Zhuo Longshang" claimed to belong to the Muddy Dragon clan, and theoretically, as the tower spirit of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, they should be at least at the Heavenly Saint level.
However, from the terrifying aura emanating from "Zhuo Longshang",
Plus its guarding of the ninth layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower,
It seems, its strength is far beyond what a Heavenly Saint can measure.
Lu Changsheng clearly felt the intense sense of danger emanating from the Muddy Dragon.
Such a sense of danger was very apparent.
Even making Lu Changsheng feel the urge to temporarily avoid its edge.
This feeling, Lu Changsheng only encountered when facing completely unbeatable opponents.
"Does the elder Muddy Dragon need to be defeated to pass through the ninth layer of the Heaven-Reaching Tower?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Indeed, the owner of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, your human Martial Ancestor, tasked me to guard the ninth layer of Heaven-Reaching Tower."
"Defeat me, and you shall gain the great fortune left by the Martial Ancestor!"
"In the eighth layer, that old bull showed you mercy, but I won't."
"If your strength only performs as it did in the eighth layer, you likely won't pass through the ninth layer."
The words of Muddy Dragon "Zhuo Longshang" resonated slowly and steadily.
This took Lu Changsheng by surprise.
He hadn't expected the Muddy Dragon to be so aware of the events in the eighth layer.
It even knew Kui Niu "held back".
Certainly, the Muddy Dragon also knew that Kui Niu simply didn't want to fight hard.
It wasn't breaching the rules.
In truth, Kui Niu did "hold back" within the rules.
"Is that so?"
"Muddy Dragon clan from the Boundary Sea, Brother Lu surely needs to seek your advice."
"Having reached the ninth layer, Brother Lu can have no qualms and can fight freely now."
"If this strike fails to defeat the elder, Brother Lu will leave the Heaven-Reaching Tower."
Lu Changsheng's words left Muddy Dragon "Zhuo Longshang" slightly stunned.
Though, it seemed to understand.
This time, Lu Changsheng would likely "fight desperately".
"Alright then, let's see what skills you possess."
"Yes, exert yourselves fully. Deploy all your means; you only have this one chance!"
Muddy Dragon Zhuo Longshang was not in a rush.
With its strength, Heavenly Saints were almost inconsequential to it.
"As you wish!"
Lu Changsheng looked serious and resolute.
He knew, the Muddy Dragon Zhuo Longshang before him was almost the strongest Heavenly Saint-level opponent he had faced.
He dared not have any neglect.
"Buzz."
The next moment, Lu Changsheng's Taoist Body was unleashed.
Simultaneously, flesh enveloped the Taoist Body.
Fully merging with the Taoist Body.
The Taoist Body expanded once again into Fatian Xiangdi!
However, it wasn't over yet.
Just Fatian Xiangdi certainly couldn't contend with Muddy Dragon Zhuo Longshang.
Lu Changsheng's trump card was still to shatter the Tao.
Indeed, that's it — shattering the Tao!
In the eighth layer, Lu Changsheng's every martial skill, shattered merely one percent of the Tao, pushed back Kui Niu.
Though there was suspicion of Kui Niu holding back.
Yet within the rules, Lu Changsheng indeed pushed back Kui Niu, securing victory.
And now, Lu Changsheng was clear if he just shattered one percent of the Tao, it would surely be insufficient against Muddy Dragon Zhuo Longshang.
Thus, this time Lu Changsheng made a decisive choice.
