15: Chapter 15: The Great Emperor of Defeated Heaven is defeated, and receives the True Word Holy Scripture as a reward!

Outside, the Tianyuan Holy Tower was seen shaking violently, jolted by some kind of fluctuation.

Countless cracks began spreading upward from the first floor.

The surrounding people began to discuss it one after another.

"W-what's going on! Is the Tianyuan Holy Tower about to collapse?"

"Lord Saint is too amazing, he's actually about to bring down the Holy Tower!"

"..."

But soon, just as the spiderweb-like cracks covered the Tianyuan Holy Tower,

suddenly, a kind of pure energy seemed to emanate from within, instantly repairing these cracks.

Soon, the Tianyuan Holy Tower returned to its original appearance.

This allowed the Elders to breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Phew! Fortunately, the Tianyuan Holy Tower is a wondrous object with a self-repair function. Otherwise, if the Tianyuan Holy Tower were damaged, it would be a loss for our Holy Sect."

"Indeed! The overall combat power of our Tianyuan Holy Sect Disciples is several times stronger than that of other Sects, and the Tianyuan Holy Tower deserves much of the credit."

"However, I didn't expect Yuxuan's combat power to be so formidable. Just who is the guardian of the hundredth floor?"

"..."

Several Elders communicated in low voices.

They looked at the Tianyuan Holy Tower with doubt in their eyes.

When they challenged the tower back then, they only reached the nineties.

They hadn't reached the hundredth floor, so they were very curious about the guardian at the top of the Tianyuan Holy Tower.

"The guardian on the hundredth floor is an Incarnation of an Ancient Great Emperor from an unknown era!"

At this time, the Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect spoke up to explain, which was a rare occurrence.

"What? An Incarnation of an Ancient Great Emperor? I've heard that every Great Emperor has been invincible since they started their Cultivation. I can't imagine how Yuxuan has been able to fight him for so long."

"If Yuxuan passes this hundredth floor, doesn't that mean he has abilities comparable to an Ancient Great Emperor? If so, combined with his Azure Wood Divine Physique, our Tianyuan Holy Sect might produce a Great Emperor in this lifetime!"

"..."

Several Elders who thought highly of Zhou Yuxuan looked at the Tianyuan Holy Tower with great anticipation.

As for Su Chen, who had just finished his tower challenge, no one interacted with him except for a few Elders who weren't on good terms with Zhou Yuxuan and offered him an olive branch.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were clenched into fists hidden under his sleeves as he muttered like a curse in his heart.

"Fail! Fail! There's no way Zhou Yuxuan can pass this hundredth floor!"

"..."

At this moment, inside the Tianyuan Holy Tower.

"Bang!"

After Zhou Yuxuan collided with the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor once more, both figures flew backward in their respective directions.

"Hahaha! Refreshing!"

The Defeated Heaven Great Emperor was the first to stand up, looking up at the sky and laughing loudly.

His figure was no longer as solid as before but had faded somewhat. His entire body seemed transparent, and one could faintly see through him to the things behind.

"Cough, cough! As expected of an Ancient Great Emperor, a being who has been invincible all along."

Zhou Yuxuan slowly stood up and murmured with emotion as he looked at the laughing Defeated Heaven Great Emperor.

His face was still rosy, and his condition remained good; aside from some dust on his clothes, nothing was amiss.

This was the terror of the Immortal Body: Chaos Azure Wood Immortal Body; a continuous stream of vitality was converging toward him.

Although he had felt a hint of fatigue just a moment ago, in just a few seconds, he was refreshed.

"Hmm? What kind of Immortal Body is this? Why can't this Emperor recognize it?"

Seeing that Zhou Yuxuan's state was still as it was at the beginning, even the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor, a man of great experience, couldn't help but feel surprised.

[Ding! Host has successfully changed the plot, causing the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor to feel surprised and curious about you. Reward: High Grade Spirit Treasure, exploding heaven pill!]

(exploding heaven pill: High Grade Spirit Treasure, a single-use consumable. When used, throw it at the enemy to create an explosive mist that causes damage to the Divine Soul.)

Zhou Yuxuan was delighted by the sudden reward.

A High Grade Spirit Treasure capable of damaging the Divine Soul would certainly come in handy for him now.

Then, with a light smile on his face, he said,

"Senior, this Junior's Immortal Body is named the Immortal Body: Chaos Azure Wood Immortal Body. I wonder if Senior has heard of it?"

Hearing this, the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's brows furrowed.

He repeated Zhou Yuxuan's words in a low voice, seemingly deep in thought.

"It seems he doesn't know."

Seeing the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's expression, Zhou Yuxuan said secretly to himself.

"Your Immortal Body is quite strange; even after living for so long, this Emperor has never heard of it. Forget it, time waits for no one, let's continue!"

After thinking for a moment, the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor shook his head, then his eyes reignited with Battle Intent as he spoke.

"Good!"

Zhou Yuxuan nodded in agreement, his right hand already placed behind his back at some point.

In his palm, he had quietly taken out the reward he just received, the exploding heaven pill.

It was a gray pill the size of a red date, carved with complex runes.

Zhou Yuxuan watched the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor motionlessly.

Just as the other was about to reach him, a smile appeared on Zhou Yuxuan's face.

His right hand, holding the exploding heaven pill, suddenly smashed toward the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's face.

"Not good!" Feeling a sense of crisis, the joy on the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's face vanished instantly.

Then, with a gloomy expression, he cursed angrily,

"Damn brat, in our fair and square match, you actually dare to use underhanded tricks!"

As the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's voice fell,

his face happened to collide with the exploding heaven pill, followed by a crisp 'bang'.

A cloud of gray smoke instantly enveloped the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor.

"Not good, brat, what kind of thing are you using!"

Feeling his Divine Soul constantly weakening, the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor shouted in surprise.

"Hehe! Senior, there's no need to panic. This is just a little toy in this Junior's hand; it's not fatal, it just causes some damage to the Divine Soul."

"You..."

Hearing that this tiny thing could damage the Divine Soul, the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's heart was filled with rage.

At this moment, he hurriedly stepped out of the gray smoke.

His body was now almost invisible, and he looked at Zhou Yuxuan with eyes full of soaring anger.

"Senior, you can't blame this Junior. You are an Ancient Great Emperor, a being who has been invincible all along. If I didn't rely on special means, this Junior wouldn't be able to defeat you."

Zhou Yuxuan said with a cupped-hand salute.

Hearing this, the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's expression finally softened slightly.

"Very well. Although you did use despicable means to defeat this Emperor, in a life-and-death duel, there is no such thing as a fair and square fight; it's all about using any means necessary to achieve victory."

After the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

Then he looked at Zhou Yuxuan and said, "Brat, you have gained this Emperor's recognition. You are qualified to take the greatest Opportunity of this Tianyuan Holy Tower, the Human Race treasure, the Primordial True Word Brush!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan was first delighted, but then he felt something was not quite right.

"Wait, isn't the highest Opportunity of the Tianyuan Holy Tower the Baitian Emperor Scripture?"

Zhou Yuxuan's puzzled voice did not escape the Defeated Heaven Great Emperor's ears.

He looked up in confusion and asked, "How do you know that what this Emperor left in the Tianyuan Holy Tower was the Legacy of the Baitian Emperor Scripture?"

Seeing that Zhou Yuxuan didn't speak, he didn't press further.

Instead, he explained, "This Baitian Emperor Scripture was originally an Opportunity this Emperor left for challengers who barely passed. However, the way you used any means to achieve victory,

this Emperor appreciates it very much, so I'm giving this strongest Opportunity to you."

As his voice fell, a divine pen glowing with golden light and surrounded by Holy Light slowly landed in Zhou Yuxuan's hand.

At the same time, a prompt from the System echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Host has successfully changed the plot and obtained the strongest Opportunity of the Tianyuan Holy Tower. Reward: Saint-rank Cultivation Technique, True Word Holy Scripture!]
