Chapter 64: On the third floor of the ancient tower, the black fox demon
The black ancient tower stood silently within the Blood Sea of Spirits.
Suspended beside it was an ancient glass lantern.
Ling Xue directly entered the tower.
Breaking through the barrier, he passed the empty, crimson first floor and entered the second, where a golden sea of clouds stretched across the sky.
Then, he ascended to the top of the second floor. There, he found another entrance!
An entrance guarded by a powerful barrier.
This barrier could only be opened by someone at the second level of the Extreme Martial Realm.
Although Ling Xue was only at the first level, his real combat power, thanks to the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, was comparable to someone at the second level of the Extreme Martial Realm.
Therefore, breaking through was within his ability!
Ling Xue activated the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique within him, and the barrier opened, allowing him to enter the third floor of the Asura Purgatory Tower.
A new world!
Inside, it was pitch-black.
Like a night sky, darkness stretched endlessly in all directions, dotted with faint stars.
Ling Xue stood alone in this vast and eerie space.
All around him was silence, and there was nothing in sight.
But in the next moment, something appeared!
Swoosh!
A mass of grayish-black energy suddenly shot out from an unknown direction, heading straight for Ling Xue.
The blood-colored spiritual energy within him surged wildly, and he sent out a palm strike!
The blood-red palm print clashed fiercely with the black mass in this seemingly infinite, night-like space.
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded, and shockwaves rippled outward.
It was as if blood-red fireworks bloomed in the night sky.
Then, Ling Xue’s palm print shattered under the force of the black mass.
After shattering the palm print, the black mass continued to shoot toward Ling Xue!
In an instant, Ling Xue activated the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique within him.
Countless sword auras erupted in a frenzied rush!
His opponent possessed the strength of the second level of the Extreme Martial Realm, so without the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, Ling Xue would have been outmatched.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh…
Boom!!!
In the next moment, the countless sword auras collided violently with the black mass.
Another explosion echoed through the dark space.
Finally, this time, the black mass was forced back, retreating a distance.
Then, a cold yet seductive voice slowly echoed, “Hehe, no wonder you could enter here at just the first level of the Extreme Martial Realm!”
The voice was alluring, tinged with a soul-stirring charm.
Ling Xue’s expression remained unchanged as he gazed at the black mass hovering in mid-air.
He spoke slowly, “Are you one of the Demonic Beasts from the Otherworld?”
In this world, there are three types of power:
Spiritual Power, Demonic Power, and Void Power!
The aura emanating from the black mass was clearly… Demonic Power!
“A demon is a demon. I never understood why your human race insists on adding the word ‘evil’ to describe us!”
The seductive voice spoke again.
Then, the black mass began to condense in mid-air.
The swirling black energy slowly formed into a graceful figure.
A woman in a black dress, her voluptuous figure tightly wrapped in the fabric.
The hem of the dress was lined with flowing black energy, resembling a black rose.
This woman had the face of a fox, breathtakingly beautiful.
Her rosy lips were curved into a faint, bewitching smile that could steal one’s soul.
Amidst her silky long hair, a pair of black fox ears peeked out.
She was a fox spirit!
An Otherworldly Demon, the Black Fox Demon!
After transforming into a human form, her seductive eyes locked onto Ling Xue.
She licked her red lips lightly, smiling coquettishly, “To think there would be such a handsome and extraordinary man among the human race, truly a feast for the eyes! Such a pity… I feel an irresistible urge to gouge out those eyes of yours the moment I see them!”
“You seem to have some sort of grudge against me?”
Ling Xue looked calmly at the seductive black fox demon.
“Forgive me, of course not. This is our first meeting, so how could I hold a grudge against you?”
The black fox demon smiled alluringly, “I was merely referring to… your eyes! Those blood-red eyes!”
“Blood-red?”
Ling Xue chuckled lightly and then said, “Let me guess, perhaps someone with the same blood-red eyes as mine… is the one who imprisoned you here?”
Upon hearing this, the black fox demon’s brows twitched slightly.
Then, she laughed, “Hehe… Not only are you handsome, but you’re also quite clever!”
As she spoke, she floated over, her soft and seductive figure circling Ling Xue once before stopping in front of him.
“Why do I find myself liking you so much?”
As she spoke, she slowly raised her hand and reached toward Ling Xue’s handsome face.
But her hand was caught by Ling Xue.
“When were you… imprisoned here?” Ling Xue asked, gripping her soft wrist, his gaze fixed on her.
“Me…?”
The black fox demon smiled seductively, “I can no longer remember how many thousands of years it’s been!”
“The one who imprisoned you… was it a woman?” Ling Xue continued to ask.
“How did you know? There’s no basis for such a guess, is there?” The black fox demon looked curious.
She could understand how Ling Xue deduced that someone with blood-red eyes had imprisoned her, given her obvious dislike for those eyes.
But how had he guessed it was a woman?
Where did that conclusion come from?
Hearing this, Ling Xue smiled faintly and continued, “I suppose… not only did she have blood-red eyes like mine, but she also wore a veil, and on her forehead… there was a strange blood-colored rune!”
What he guessed referred to the mysterious woman who had appeared in the Taixuan Empire, claiming she would stop him from killing Ye Feng.
After all, she was the only other person he had encountered with blood-red eyes besides himself.
When Ling Xue finished speaking, the black fox demon was once again surprised.
Because… he had guessed correctly!
Everything Ling Xue said was true.
“It seems… you know that woman?” The black fox demon’s voice turned cold.
Ling Xue pulled her toward him, yanking her soft body into his arms.
“Of course, I don’t know her, but you… surely do!”
Ling Xue tightened his grip around the black fox demon, his eyes staring into hers. “Tell me… who is she?”
Right now, Ling Xue’s greatest interest lies in that mysterious woman.
If the black fox demon knew, perhaps he could find her.
