90: Jiuyouxuan Ice Tower!
Another few days passed in a flash, and on this day, Tang Tian and Nie Keke finally crossed the ice plain.
Seeing the scene before them, Tang Tian and Nie Keke couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
Frankly speaking, this was truly somewhat unexpected for both of them.
The central area of the Secret Realm was actually an endless desert?
And in the center of the desert, there was a towering giant tower that reached into the clouds?
At the edge of the ice plain, there were numerous teleportation arrays.
The two understood that these teleportation arrays were probably designed to send Cultivators directly to the giant tower.
Without much hesitation, the two decisively stepped onto a teleportation array.
Sure enough!
Before long, the two were teleported to a square near the giant tower.
Here, there were already hundreds of Demon Race young men and women.
As soon as Tang Tian and Nie Keke appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
To be precise, it should be Nie Keke who attracted everyone's attention.
What was more intriguing was that the Prodigies around them seemed to look at Nie Keke with somewhat different eyes.
Full of hostility?
Full of hatred?
Full of fanaticism?
Full of mockery?
And... not long after, everyone looked at Tang Tian in astonishment.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Because everyone could tell.
Nie Keke seemed to be taking Tang Tian's lead?
What exactly was going on?
This little Demoness Nie Keke, actually seemed to have changed into a different person?
Wasn't she very strong before?
What happened now?
Also, what was this kid's background?
Why couldn't they see through his strength?
Looking at Tang Tian, many people around showed expressions of uncertainty and suspicion.
"Young Master, what is your name? And where are you from?"
Near the two, a sweet-looking Demon Race young woman looked at Tang Tian and broke the silence, asking.
Immediately, the people around also pricked up their ears curiously.
"Just a nobody! Why care?"
Tang Tian glanced at the Demon Race young woman and said indifferently.
Hearing Tang Tian's words, Nie Keke almost burst out laughing.
A nobody?
If Tang Tian was a nobody, then everyone else was even less than a nobody.
One must know, not long ago, this guy had killed a Dongtian Realm Flood Dragon!
Heaven knows, what was the extent of his limits?
The people around also had expressions of disbelief.
The more Tang Tian said that, the less they believed him.
It was precisely because of this that some Prodigies who were originally eager to act chose to wait and see instead.
They felt that perhaps they could let others be the first to act.
As long as someone tested Tang Tian's strength, they would make a decision.
As for Nie Keke?
Hehe!
Who didn't know that her strength was at the Yin Yang Realm, First Level?
Only those whose backgrounds were not as good as hers were afraid of her!
Which other Prodigy feared her?
And how many people wanted to get rid of her?
"Young Master, you're really joking."
After a moment of stunned, the Demon Race young woman said with a bitter smile.
Then, she looked at Nie Keke with a complicated expression.
"Nie Keke, aren't you going to introduce him to everyone?"
She looked at Tang Tian, then at Nie Keke, and said.
"No comment!"
Nie Keke looked at the other party calmly and said expressionlessly.
"You..."
Pointing at Nie Keke, the Demon Race young woman trembled with anger.
Her eyes also showed a hint of fury.
"Have you forgotten your identity?"
The Demon Race young woman sneered and looked at Nie Keke coldly.
"It's a pity, this is the Trial Grounds, where all beings are equal."
"What? Is your identity very high?"
Seeing that Nie Keke's expression was a bit off, Tang Tian decisively came to her rescue.
"You don't know me?"
Tang Tian's words made the Demon Race young woman's eyes widen.
The Prodigies around also looked at Tang Tian in confusion.
"Should I know you?"
Tang Tian rolled his eyes and retorted.
"You..."
Tang Tian's words made the Demon Race young woman tremble with anger.
A wisp of killing intent unconsciously burst out from her body.
Clearly, Tang Tian and Nie Keke's attitude had completely enraged her.
"It seems you two are courting death!"
The Demon Race young woman sneered, her sweet face turning incredibly cold.
Just as she finished speaking, at least a third of the Prodigies around them surrounded Tang Tian and Nie Keke.
Seeing this, Tang Tian's face unconsciously showed a surprised expression.
Tsk tsk tsk!
It seems this little girl in front of him has quite an extraordinary background!
Could it be?
Is she from the Demon Race Imperial Palace?
Or from some top power?
Thinking about it, Tang Tian found it very amusing.
However, he had no fear in his heart.
Fear?
Non-existent!
He was full of confidence in his own strength!
"Kill them!"
The Demon Race young woman waved her hand and commanded.
"Yes, Your Highness Ninth Princess!"
Hearing the Demon Race young woman's command, the Prodigies around responded in unison.
Then, they attacked cleanly and decisively.
Seeing this, Tang Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Ninth Princess?
So, people from the Demon Race Imperial Family?
Ready to kill at the slightest disagreement?
Tsk tsk tsk!
Truly not just ordinarily overbearing!
Wild thoughts aside, Tang Tian's movements were not slow at all.
In an instant, he drew the sword from Nie Keke's waist.
There was no other way, her cultivation at the Yin Yang Realm, First Level, couldn't deal with these guys around them.
Around them, there were quite a few existences at the Yin Yang Realm, Third Level, Fourth Level, and even Fifth Level.
This time, Tang Tian rarely used a Move from the Destruction Sword Art.
"First Move!"
Tang Tian casually swung a sword.
Instantly, dozens of people directly turned into a rain of blood.
Seeing this scene, Nie Keke's attitude was one of being accustomed to it.
The people around, however, were filled with horror.
Why was this seemingly harmless guy so strong?
One must know, among these dozens of people, many were peerless Prodigies at the Yin Yang Realm, Third Level, Fourth Level, and even Fifth Level!
How strong was he exactly?
Could it be that he had the same strength as that person?
Yin Yang Realm, Sixth Level?
Hiss!
Truly terrifying!
Before everyone could recover, countless Storage Rings flew to Tang Tian's front.
After a quick scan, finding nothing of interest to him, Tang Tian gave all the Storage Rings to Nie Keke.
It's worth mentioning that Tang Tian always used the Spatial Profundity to take away various Demon Race Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills from the spoils of war.
This time was no different!
Undoubtedly, he was specifically preparing these for Luo Yiyi.
Seeing Tang Tian's actions, everyone around was a bit stunned.
Suddenly, they began to understand why Nie Keke would take Tang Tian's lead.
This guy was truly uncommonly good to her.
So, wasn't it perfectly normal for her to take his lead?
"Ninth Princess, is it?"
"Speak!"
"What are your last words?"
Before the Ninth Princess could react, the longsword in Tang Tian's hand was already at her neck.
"How dare you?"
"I am the Ninth Princess."
"Ask Nie Keke, does she dare to kill me?"
Looking at Tang Tian in anger, the Ninth Princess shouted loudly.
Immediately, Tang Tian was amused.
So?
Is this another spoiled idiot?
Hehe!
How ridiculous!
Hasn't she figured out the situation yet?
Not only Tang Tian, Nie Keke, but also the remaining dozens of Prodigies around them, were quite speechless.
This was the Trial Grounds!
Not the Demon Race Imperial Palace!
He dared to kill so many people, would he not dare to kill her?
What a joke?
Facts proved that their thoughts were completely correct.
Because, next, Tang Tian acted cleanly and decisively.
One sword!
The Ninth Princess was decapitated!
The Storage Ring in her hand also fell into Tang Tian's hand.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Tian, who silently took away the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, handed the Storage Ring to Nie Keke again.
"Everyone, do you want to die or live?"
Tang Tian scanned the surroundings and asked with a smile.
Tang Tian's words made everyone's expressions change.
Damn it!
Is this bastard trying to kill them to silence them?
"We want to live!"
Despite their anger, the Prodigies around still made their choice.
Looking at Tang Tian with complicated expressions, they said in unison.
"Very good!"
"All of you, swear to the Heavenly Dao! You are not allowed to speak of what happened here."
"Otherwise, your Dao Heart will shatter, and you will never enter Reincarnation."
"Of course, you can refuse, at worst I'll just use another sword."
Tang Tian nodded with satisfaction and said indifferently.
Hearing Tang Tian's words, the Prodigies around had expressions that were more colorful than the last.
Although they were unwilling, in the end, they honestly complied.
Because they didn't want to die!
They didn't think they were a match for Tang Tian.
Using their trump cards to escape?
That was even more impossible!
They had come all this way with great difficulty, and they couldn't casually use their trump cards.
What if they needed them later?
While everyone was swearing to the Heavenly Dao, Tang Tian and Nie Keke looked at the giant tower in front.
This was a nine-story giant tower, entirely snow-white, emitting a bone-chilling cold.
It had to be said, this was indeed unusually strange.
The surroundings were desert, and even the air was filled with scorching heat waves?
But this nine-story giant tower, with a diameter of thousands of feet, was another extreme.
"Let's go!"
Tang Tian looked at Nie Keke and said.
Nie Keke nodded lightly, a look of eagerness appearing on her face.
Then, the two walked towards the nine-story giant tower.
Seeing this, the Prodigies around all laughed gloatingly.
In their opinion, Tang Tian and Nie Keke were probably doomed.
Didn't these two guys know that this nine-story giant tower was very terrifying?
Just running over like that?
How foolish!
Not long ago, several guys paid the price of their lives because of it.
However, they were quickly dumbfounded.
Because, neither Tang Tian nor Nie Keke were affected in any way.
This truly left them puzzled.
Why was this happening?
In fact, only Nie Keke knew very clearly what was going on.
Originally, she had also felt the bone-chilling cold.
In fact, she had a feeling that as long as she approached the nine-story giant tower, she would turn into an ice sculpture.
However, ever since Tang Tian unleashed a wave of Profound Truth from his body, everything vanished without a trace.
Profound Truth of Ice!
It was definitely the Profound Truth of Ice!
Nie Keke exclaimed in her heart.
Suddenly, she became even more curious about Tang Tian.
What was this guy's background, exactly?
His strength was unfathomable!
His Sword Art was terrifyingly powerful!
Now, it seemed the Profound Truth he comprehended was also very strong?
While Nie Keke was lost in thought, Tang Tian had already led her into the nine-story giant tower.
The scene here was truly a complete transformation, and that was no exaggeration.
The first level of the nine-story giant tower was actually a world of singing birds and fragrant flowers.
"Fated ones, welcome to the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower."
Suddenly, an ethereal voice rang out.
Before long, a figure appeared before the two of them.
This was a soul body, filled with Devilish Qi, wearing a black robe that obscured its facial features.
"You are?"
Tang Tian looked at the soul body suspiciously and couldn't help but ask.
Beside him, Nie Keke also looked at the other party with curiosity.
"This Seat is the Tower Spirit of this pagoda."
Looking at Tang Tian, the soul body said indifferently.
Then, it looked at Nie Keke.
"Little girl, your luck is not bad!"
"Your talent is very strong, but your strength is very ordinary? How strange!"
"Without this boy, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to come here, would you?"
The soul body observed Nie Keke and exclaimed in wonder.
"Indeed."
Nie Keke nodded, not denying it.
Her pretty face was also beaming with a smile of relief.
If not for Tang Tian, let alone coming here...
She might have already died in battle when they were outside, right?
The Trial Grounds here were not just ordinarily terrifying.
Those Yao Beasts were incredibly powerful.
And also, among the many Prodigies, how many wanted to eliminate her?
"You still have a chance to leave now. If you accept the trial, you only have two choices: pass or die."
"You choose!"
Changing its tone, the Tower Spirit said slowly.
Hearing the Tower Spirit's words, Tang Tian and Nie Keke couldn't help but look at each other.
This?
"May I ask, what are the benefits of passing?"
After a moment of contemplation, Tang Tian asked calmly.
"For each level of trial you pass, there is a corresponding reward."
"However, to take them with you, you must pass all the trials."
"Otherwise, no matter which level you die on, the rewards will be reclaimed."
Without any hesitation, the Tower Spirit answered clearly.
"Then what is the meaning of this trial?"
The Tower Spirit's words caused countless black lines to appear on Tang Tian's forehead.
"Why must there be meaning?"
Looking at Tang Tian, the Tower Spirit countered with a question.
Tang Tian opened his mouth, a little unsure how to retort.
However, in the end, Tang Tian and Nie Keke still chose to accept the trial.
"Then will you both accept the trial individually, or together?"
Looking at the two, the Tower Spirit asked again.
Immediately, Nie Keke looked at Tang Tian.
Undoubtedly, she was more inclined to accept the trial with Tang Tian.
However, this also depended on what attitude Tang Tian would have.
"Then let's accept the trial together!"
Tang Tian glanced at Nie Keke and chuckled.
"Hehe! Thank you!"
Hearing Tang Tian's words, Nie Keke's peerless face was filled with a happy smile.
"I wish you good luck!"
The Tower Spirit looked at the two with deep meaning and said.
Accept the trial together?
The difficulty of this was not just ordinarily great!
Also, why did this boy seem a little strange?
Was he really of the Demon Race?
And why couldn't it see through his strength?
Strange!
Truly strange!
Shaking its head, the Tower Spirit waved its hand.
In an instant, two fiery red figures appeared in front of them.
To be precise, they were two fiery red metal Puppets, with strength equal to Tang Tian and Nie Keke.
"This?"
Seeing the two Puppets, Nie Keke's face showed a shocked expression.
The Puppet in front of her had the strength of Yin Yang Realm, First Level.
The Puppet in front of Tang Tian had the strength of Yin Yang Realm, Ninth Level Peak?
In other words, this guy's true strength was Yin Yang Realm, Ninth Level Peak?
This was a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it?
Suddenly, Nie Keke became even more curious about Tang Tian's strength.
Besides that, she was also very puzzled.
Tang Tian didn't Cultivate all day, so why could his strength be so strong?
This was truly a bit unbelievable!
While Nie Keke was in a daze, the two Puppets had already launched their attacks.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the Puppet attacking Tang Tian had already been shattered by a casual punch from Tang Tian.
Nie Keke also quickly reacted, and the Puppet attacking her was instantly cut in half by her sword.
"These two Puppets can be said to be invincible among their peers."
"But in front of you, they are still vulnerable."
"It seems your talents are indeed terrifying!"
Not far away, the Tower Spirit said with a chuckle.
"The first round has been passed, these are your rewards."
Then, it cleanly took out two red metal boxes and threw them to the two.
By unspoken agreement, Tang Tian and Nie Keke both opened the boxes in their hands.
Tang Tian's box contained a drop of blood-colored essence blood.
It looked like the essence blood of a powerful Demon Race member.
And the box in Nie Keke's hand contained a crystal clear, blood-colored Medicinal Pill.
"Can we start the next round now?"
Not far away, the Tower Spirit urged.
"Of course!"
Without any hesitation, the two said in unison.
At the same time, the two also dealt with their spoils.
Tang Tian directly put away the box in his hand!
As for Nie Keke, she swallowed the Medicinal Pill in her hand in one gulp.
Immediately, her Aura soared.
It seemed she was about to Breakthrough.
Seeing this, neither Tang Tian nor the Tower Spirit showed any surprise.
Everything was merely as expected.
What was there to be surprised about?
Tang Tian and the Tower Spirit could both see that Nie Keke had already reached the verge of Breakthrough.
This Medicinal Pill merely served as a catalyst.
"It's time for the second level, I wish you good luck."
The Tower Spirit waved its hand, and the figures of Tang Tian and Nie Keke instantly disappeared from the first level's space.
When the two reappeared, they had arrived in a world of ice and snow.
"Second level, you will face the assassination of ten assassins whose strength is comparable to yours."
Looking at the two, the Tower Spirit said with a chuckle.
After speaking, it disappeared into thin air.
"Assassins?"
Tang Tian muttered to himself, a amused expression on his face.
The thing he feared least was assassins!
Don't forget, this guy had comprehended all Profound Truths.
The slightest movement around him could not escape his notice.
Rolling his eyes, Tang Tian directly waved his hand, and in an instant, the power of the Profound Truth of Slowness enveloped the space around the two.
"Tang Tian, this is?"
"Profound Truth of Slowness?"
Nie Keke blinked and couldn't help but exclaim.
She was really curious, just how many types of Profound Truth had Tang Tian comprehended?
Tang Tian nodded with a chuckle, not speaking.
Just as the two were going through the trial, an unwelcome group arrived outside.
The leader was a handsome young man, walking with the stride of a Dragon and the gait of a tiger, full of arrogance, and wearing golden armor.
His strength was Yin Yang Realm, Sixth Level.
Around him were several Prodigies of Yin Yang Realm, Fourth Level and Fifth Level.
"Hmm?"
"Where's my ninth sister?"
"Logically, she should have arrived here by now."
"Tell this Your Highness, what exactly is going on?"
The young man frowned and said, looking at the dozens of Prodigies around him.
"Sixth Prince Your Highness, these guys seem a bit off."
Just then, a pale, thin young man beside the young man said abruptly.
"How so?"
The Sixth Prince was stunned and looked at the thin young man beside him in confusion.
"Their faces all seem very unnatural, and also, they all look at the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower with terror and resentment in their eyes."
"Perhaps, something has happened to Ninth Princess Your Highness."
"The relevant people have already entered the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower."
After a moment of silence, the thin young man analyzed clearly.
"Maybe these guys aren't saying anything because they were forced to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao by someone else?"
"Or, they were threatened by someone?"
Then, the thin young man added.
Hearing his words, several Prodigies around them subconsciously nodded.
Then, they were completely doomed.
Above the sky, several Heavenly Tribulations suddenly descended and struck them.
Without even a chance to react, they turned to ashes.
Seeing this scene, the Sixth Prince and the others' expressions changed slightly.
Then, they all subconsciously looked at the thin young man.
They understood that the actual situation was probably very close to what the thin young man had guessed.
"If ninth sister is fine, then so be it. If something has happened to her, you will all be buried with her."
The Sixth Prince snorted coldly and swept his gaze chillingly over the Prodigies around him.
"As for the guys inside the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower, they must pay the price."
After speaking, the Sixth Prince flew towards the Nine Nether Profound Ice Tower.
The few people beside him also followed.
Hearing the Sixth Prince's words, the dozens of people standing in place all had extremely ugly expressions.
At the same time, they were also very conflicted in their hearts.
On one hand, they hoped Tang Tian could eliminate the Sixth Prince.
But on the other hand, they also hoped the Sixth Prince could eliminate Tang Tian.
Preferably, both of them would perish together.
That way, they would have no worries.
Otherwise, they would truly have a headache.
These two, no matter which one, were enough to easily kill them.
Yet, they all had to stay here until they left the Secret Realm!
