LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 59
Chapter 59: I, Qin Bei, Am Not Just Invincible in Strength
The interior of the Demon Suppression Tower is enormous.
Qin Bei and Qin Xuan entered the first floor at the same time, but immediately got separated upon entry.
Each challenger has their own area.
As for what will happen, only the spirit of the Demon Suppression Tower knows.
Once inside the tower, Qin Bei began to observe.
He found himself in a vast room, with a door visible in the distance.
That ought to be the entrance to the second floor.
Just as Qin Bei was examining his surroundings, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of him.
“First floor: Defeat ten demon cultivators of the same realm.”
With that, the phantom vanished.
Shortly after, Qin Bei sensed ten auras materializing around him.
They were all at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“No wonder the royals are reluctant to challenge the tower; this first floor must be a real trial for many.”
Qin Bei looked at the ten figures in front of him and muttered to himself.
But for him, this was merely child’s play.
Forget about ten opponents of the same realm; even a thousand would only require a little extra effort.
“Kill!”
The ten figures charged toward Qin Bei simultaneously.
Facing such an assault, Qin Bei decided to meet them head-on. In just a few breaths, he crushed the ten figures with his bare hands.
Meanwhile, outside the Demon Suppression Tower.
“Hey, look! The tower challenge speed leaderboard has been refreshed!”
“What? Did Qin Chen make another advance?”
“No, it’s not Qin Chen. It’s Qin Bei! He refreshed the speed record for the first floor.”
“Really? Wasn’t that record set by my father? It’s been broken?”
“Hiss~”
Everyone gasped in shock upon seeing this result.
The record set by Emperor Xia has stood for who knows how many years, and all the princes wanted to surpass it.
But no one, including Qin Chen, had succeeded.
And now, it was actually broken by the newcomer, Qin Bei.
This…
It’s just ridiculous…
“Wow~ Prince Bei is amazing! He seems likely to surpass even the fourth floor!”
Princess Ling Er said, her eyes sparkling.
Old Jiu shot her a sidelong glance and shook his head.
This girl is always like this. Just moments ago, she was glowering at Qin Bei; now she not only doesn’t harbor resentment but seems to admire him.
But it’s precisely this kind of character that makes Princess Ling Er so adored.
“He’s already topped two battle power lists. Even now in the Foundation Establishment Realm, his speed in combat at the same realm is hardly surprising.”
Old Jiu shook his head and remarked.
“The real test is still to come.”
…
Inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
Having smashed his opponents, Qin Bei soon arrived at the front door. Entering proved to be yet another distinct location.
The same phantom materialized.
“Second floor: Defeat one hundred peak demon cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Qin Bei was surprised, “Is the second floor really this fierce?”
“Is it the same difficulty for others?”
This was the question Qin Bei was most interested in.
If all challengers faced similar challenges, then Qin Chen was indeed quite frightening.
At the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, wouldn’t he face one hundred demon cultivators above the Life and Death Realm on the second floor?
And the fact that he managed to reach the fifth floor, what kind of monster was that?
This time, the phantom didn’t vanish after announcing the task. Instead, it responded to Qin Bei’s curiosity.
“In the Demon Suppression Tower, each person’s circumstances are different. The difficulty is determined by the strength displayed in the preceding level. You are the first person to encounter a hundred peak demon cultivators of the same level on the second floor…”
Although the phantom showed no emotion,
Qin Bei felt as though it was mocking him.
So he must have performed too well in the last round, right?
“Who faced the toughest challenge before?”
Qin Bei asked with interest.
“Your father. He encountered ten peak demon cultivators of the same level and breezed through.”
“Oh~”
“You don’t need to think about hiding your strength; it’s pointless. When you stepped into the Demon Suppression Tower, it was already determined that this level would be this difficult. Your only option is to give it your all to breach each level—don’t try to be clever.”
“How do you know what I’m thinking?”
“Because everyone thinks this way their first time.”
Qin Bei: …
“Good luck.”
For once, the phantom smiled before vanishing.
Facing a hundred peak Foundation Establishment cultivators, a challenge like this would knock out anyone else, yet would be just a minor inconvenience for Qin Bei, who can chase two fourth-tier peak demon beasts. A hundred cultivators? Merely a waste of time.
“Kill!”
A hundred demon cultivators roared as they charged at Qin Bei.
He didn’t show any mercy and raised his hand to eradicate these opponents.
However, he soon noticed something odd happening with his body.
“Spirit! Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you suppressed my spiritual energy?!”
Qin Bei quickly realized what was going on and felt an urge to curse.
“No one has ever had their spiritual energy suppressed at the second level before; it’s only natural I forgot to mention it…”
The weapon spirit spoke as if it were perfectly justified, as though blaming Qin Bei for being too abnormal…
Nevertheless, for Qin Bei, when confronting cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, it made no difference whether he had spiritual energy or not.
Even a hundred peak Foundation Establishment cultivators could still be crushed with sheer strength.
So really, this level was just a bit of a workout for Qin Bei.
As Qin Bei stepped into the third level of the Demon Suppression Tower, bystanders outside were astonished to find that he had once again shattered the speed record for the second floor.
“Is this… Qin Bei intending to dominate the leaderboard?”
“He’s incredible! No wonder Langya Pavilion has so much confidence in placing him at the top of the battle power chart; he truly deserves it.”
“If he can break through the fifth floor in one sweep, it will redefine the record entirely! Even his father would be surpassed!”
“Impossible. When his father first attempted the tower, he reached the fifth floor. Although he didn’t complete it, he has been the strongest since the tower existed—how could such a record possibly be broken?”
“Yet the speed at which his father cleared the levels was the best, but that’s been broken too, hasn’t it?”
“Now that you’ve said it, I suddenly think Qin Bei might actually break that record.”
…
Inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
The phantom reappeared.
“Third floor: Defeat one hundred peak demon cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Qin Bei: ???
“What’s the difference between this floor and the last one?”
“Of course there’s a difference. This time, your power will disappear~”
As the phantom finished speaking, Qin Bei felt something leave him.
It was the physical strength he had always relied on!
Qin Bei was taken aback; he didn’t expect the Demon Suppression Tower could strip him of his physical power. This was too absurd!
His main advantage in combat was his physical strength, which was dozens of times greater than that of his peers.
Now, being entirely suppressed and with only spiritual energy to rely on, Qin Bei felt a little out of sorts.
However, he quickly understood that the tower aimed to test whether he could remain invincible after discarding his prized physical strength.
“Since you want to see it, let me show you!”
Qin Bei burst into laughter and declared grandly.
He, Qin Bei! Is not just invincible with one ability!
He is invincible in all aspects!
