80: A fist shatters the heavenly tribulation, and the tower spirit submits.

Rumble!

A terrifying energy storm, centered where Chu He and the Black Divine Lightning collided, swept wildly in all directions!

The entire sea of fire world on the Fifth Layer was instantly torn apart and annihilated under the impact of this energy storm!

Large swathes of space collapsed, revealing the deep and terrifying Void Turbulence behind them.

It was as if the world was ending!

Atop the phoenix tree divine tree, Feng Ziyan was protected by a barrier Chu He had set up in advance, so she was not affected by this storm.

She looked at the massive explosion in the sky with a face full of horror, her heart nearly leaping out of her throat.

It was too terrifying!

Whether it was that Black Divine Lightning or Chu He's punch, the power contained within them far exceeded her imagination!

She had no doubt that either attack would be enough to blast her, along with the phoenix tree divine tree behind her, into fine powder!

This man—to what level had his strength actually reached?

In the center of the storm.

Chu He's figure stood proudly.

His clothes fluttered and his black hair flew as he exuded an invincible aura that dominated the heavens and earth!

Having taken that Black Divine Lightning—comparable to a strike from a Soul Transformation expert—head-on, not even a faint white mark was left on his fist!

On the contrary, high in the sky, the "eye of the heavenly dao" condensed from Law shook violently during this collision, its light dimming by several degrees.

"Is this all the strength you have?"

Chu He looked up at the giant eye, a hint of disappointment appearing on his face.

"I thought that after awakening, you would be able to bring me some surprises."

"It seems I overestimated you."

"Ant! You dare..."

The eye of the heavenly dao seemed completely enraged by Chu He's contempt; that grand voice became sharp and crazed.

"Die!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three more Black Divine Lightnings, even thicker and more terrifying than before, struck down one after another from the eye of the heavenly dao!

The three bolts of divine lightning blocked all of Chu He's paths of retreat, vowing to completely blast him to death!

"Good timing!"

Chu He was not startled but instead delighted, his Battle Intent boiling in his eyes!

Dragon Dominates the World!

He roared toward the sky, no longer holding back as he directly unleashed the ultimate move from the Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art!

"Roar—"

An ancient dragon roar that shook the past and present echoed through the clouds!

A golden divine dragon phantom, ten thousand zhang long and as solid as a true dragon descending upon the world, emerged behind Chu He!

That terrifying dragon might, originating from the deepest parts of his Bloodline and Soul, caused the entire Heaven-Reaching Pagoda to tremble violently!

The golden divine dragon opened its massive maw and directly swallowed those three world-destroying Black Divine Lightnings in one gulp!

It was as relaxed and effortless as eating noodles.

After swallowing the divine lightning, the golden divine dragon not only remained unharmed but even let out a burp, and the light on its body seemed to grow even brighter.

"..."

The eye of the heavenly dao in the sky was completely stunned.

Within its cold and heartless pupils, for the first time, an emotion called "fear" emerged.

"Now, it's my turn."

Chu He's icy voice was like a pronouncement from a god of death.

The ten-thousand-zhang divine dragon behind him suddenly raised its head, its pair of dragon eyes burning with golden flames locking firmly onto the eye of the heavenly dao in the sky.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat.

A Golden Dragon Flame... a thousand zhang thick and enough to pierce through the heavens and earth, erupted from the dragon's mouth!

This dragon flame was different from Feng Ziyan's Nanming Li Fire.

It did not burn the physical body; it only incinerated Law and Divine Soul!

Wherever the Golden Dragon Flame passed, space completely melted and Laws snapped inch by inch!

"No!"

The eye of the heavenly dao let out a shriek of extreme terror!

It wanted to run, it wanted to dodge.

But under the lock of that world-dominating dragon might, it could not move at all, and could only watch helplessly as that golden flame of death completely consumed it!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—"

A tooth-aching sound of corrosion rang out.

That "eye of the heavenly dao," condensed from endless Laws and lightning and representing the will of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, melted and disintegrated bit by bit under the burning of the Golden Dragon Flame... finally, amidst an unwilling wail, it completely vanished into nothingness.

With the disappearance of the eye of the heavenly dao, the entire Heaven-Reaching Pagoda fell into a dead silence.

That terrifying heavenly might shrouding everyone's hearts also vanished like smoke.

Chu He slowly descended from the sky, returning to the crown of the phoenix tree divine tree.

The ten-thousand-zhang divine dragon phantom behind him also gradually faded away.

"Hus... Husband..."

Feng Ziyan looked at him, her voice trembling, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with endless adoration and infatuation.

If before she had only submitted to Chu He because of his strength...

Then now, she was truly and completely conquered by this man's invincible style.

This man is a god!

A true, world-invincible god!

Chu He smiled at her, just about to say something.

Suddenly, an old and weak voice rang out in his mind.

"Great... Great expert... please... please forgive my rudeness..."

"Xiao Ling... knows its mistake..."

"Hmm?" Chu He raised an eyebrow. "Pagoda Spirit? You're not dead?"

"Replying... Replying to the expert, that was just a Law Incarnation condensed by Xiao Ling using the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda's Origin... it was not my true body..."

That voice was full of humility and fear, no longer possessing any of its previous arrogance and superiority.

"Oh? Where is your true body?" Chu He became interested.

"At... at the top of the pagoda... the Ninth Layer..."

"Very well." Chu He nodded. "I'm coming up to find you now. If I find that you've lied to me or are trying to play any tricks..."

"I wouldn't dare! Xiao Ling wouldn't dare!" The voice sounded like it was about to cry from fear. "Xiao Ling will open the passage to the Ninth Layer for you right now! I only beg that you, great expert, can spare Xiao Ling's life!"

"Xiao Ling is willing to submit! I am willing to recognize you as my master!"

To stay alive, this Pagoda Spirit, who had lived for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years, decisively chose to yield.

Hearing this, Chu He's heart stirred.

Subduing this Pagoda Spirit was actually a pretty good idea.

This Heaven-Reaching Pagoda itself was a supreme treasure that surpassed even an Immortal Artifact; if he could take control of it, it would be another Heaven-Defying trump card for the Family.

"Lead the way," Chu He said indifferently.

"Yes! Yes!"

The Pagoda Spirit felt as if it had been granted a great amnesty.

In the next moment, a pillar of seven-colored light descended from the sky, enveloping Chu He and Feng Ziyan.

Within the light pillar, a staircase paved with starlight slowly emerged, extending all the way into the darkness at an infinite height.

"Come, I'll take you to see what secrets are hidden in this pagoda."

Chu He took Feng Ziyan's hand and stepped onto the starlight staircase.

The two ascended the steps, their figures quickly disappearing into the seven-colored light pillar.

As for Uncle Fu, he was left on the Fifth Layer by Chu He to guard the phoenix tree divine tree.

After all, this divine tree was now an important property of the Chu Family and could not be allowed to have any mishaps.

With the disappearance of the eye of the heavenly dao, the entire Heaven-Reaching Pagoda returned to peace once more.

However, all the surviving Cultivators inside the pagoda felt that this pagoda seemed to have... changed its master.
