Cultivating To Immortality

.The moment he passed through the spatial tunnel, Fang Hong felt the light and shadows in front of him change drastically. A few breaths later, his feet were firmly planted on the hard ground.

Looking up, a majestic mountain blocked the way not far off. The mountain was dark and somber, at least ten thousand feet high, with steep, almost vertical cliffs.

A wide staircase wound upwards from the foot of the mountain, like a silver Dragon, extending all the way to the summit.

The summit was covered in thick dark clouds, with countless golden lightning bolts weaving through them, emitting bursts of thunder. Just watching from afar made one's heart tighten.

Fang Hong stared at the mountain for a moment, and the information from Yang Emperor and Wife's memory immediately surfaced in his mind.

This mountain was called Mad Thunder Mountain, and it was the first trial of the Beast God Tower.

As soon as one stepped into the range of Mad Thunder Mountain, the magical power within their body would be tightly locked, unable to be mobilized in the slightest.

One could only rely on the strength of their physical body to climb upwards. Reaching the summit meant passing the trial and being able to enter the second level.

What was more, during the climb, mad thunder would continuously strike from above, and its power would gradually increase with altitude.

If one's physical body strength was insufficient, they would be severely injured at best, or instantly annihilated at worst.

As he was thinking, a slight spatial fluctuation came from behind him, and Fire Dragon and the others were also teleported over.

Fang Hong turned his head and glanced around, finding that a figure was missing from the team. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Why didn't Phantom Wolf Emperor come?"

"Something urgent suddenly happened in his clan, so he left first," Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor replied simply, his tone perfunctory, clearly displeased with the fellow who had deserted at the last minute.

A trace of displeasure flashed through Fang Hong's heart.

Without Phantom Wolf Emperor, it meant one less spirit pill within easy reach.

It seemed he could only wait until he left the Beast God Tower before finding an opportunity to visit his old lair properly.

"This is the first trial of the Beast God Tower. Fellow Daoist, since it's your first time, I'll introduce it to you. This is Mad Thunder Mountain."

Fire Dragon kindly introduced the trial to Fang Hong, seemingly genuinely wanting to use his power to deal with the two puppets on the third level.

"The mad thunder hidden in those clouds on the summit will continuously strike downwards. The higher you go, the greater its power, so you must be careful not to get struck."

After the introduction, Fire Dragon was the first to step onto the stairs of Mad Thunder Mountain, followed closely by Poison Dragon, Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor, and Earth Rock Turtle Emperor.

Fang Hong, expressionless, also followed.

The moment he stepped onto the stairs, his entire body's magical power was indeed sealed. His internal spiritual treasures could not be mobilized, and his storage bag could not be opened.

"As expected, I can't use my power." Fang Hong thought to himself.

This feeling was somewhat similar to Zhao Emperor's Demon God Seal. It seemed he would truly have to rely entirely on his physical body from now on.

Boom.

Just as the Everyone hadn't gone far, a golden lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the dark clouds above, carrying a dazzling light, and crack it struck Fire Dragon, who was at the very front.

Fire Dragon remained expressionless, merely raising his right hand casually.

The seemingly fierce lightning bolt landed on his hand, and with a poof, it was instantly shattered, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into the air.

Fire Dragon sneered, his steps unbroken.

He had already passed through the Beast God Tower many times. The first trial was already familiar to him and posed no threat whatsoever.

Immediately after, several more lightning bolts struck down, heading towards Poison Dragon, Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor, and Earth Rock Turtle Emperor respectively.

Fang Hong was no exception; he also suffered a lightning strike.

The moment the lightning struck, Fang Hong not only felt no pain but instead a tingling sensation, like soaking in a spiritual spring, very comfortable.

Fang Hong's physical body was already very strong, and later he integrated Thunder Venerable's Thunder Fire Divine Art into his own cultivation technique, so his resistance to lightning had long been incredibly high.

This level of lightning was no different from a tickle to him.

Thus, the group climbed step by step, enduring the continuously falling lightning.

With each step they ascended, the thunder above grew louder, and the lightning bolts that struck down became thicker, their power visibly increasing.

After climbing for about half an hour, they had reached an altitude of eight thousand feet.

The power of the lightning here was already incomparable to before; each bolt carried an astonishing aura. For an ordinary Divine Transformation Early Stage Cultivator, one hit would result in severe injury.

Fire Dragon and the other four Demon Emperors had powerful physical bodies, so resisting these heavenly thunders was not difficult.

Fang Hong, on the other hand, still looked relaxed.

The lightning striking him at most made his clothes move; not even a single hair was harmed.

His face even showed a hint of enjoyment, as if the lightning bolts weren't there to strike him, but to massage his back.

This appearance naturally attracted the attention of the several Demon Emperors.

Fire Dragon Emperor secretly glanced at him several times with his peripheral vision, secretly surprised in his heart.

"This Human's physical body is actually so tough? No wonder he dares to challenge the Beast God Tower alone; he truly has some skill."

Poison Dragon also frowned. He had originally thought Fang Hong was merely strong in magical power, but he didn't expect his physical body to be so powerful as well, which gradually turned his slight disdain into vigilance.

All four Demon Emperors could see the strength of Fang Hong's physical body, but to what extent, they did not yet know.

Another half an hour passed, and the Everyone finally reached the summit of Mad Thunder Mountain.

The moment they stepped onto the summit, the restriction that sealed their magical power was lifted, and their entire body's magical power could be mobilized again.

Boom.

Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the dark clouds above, and a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of the several people.

Faint spatial fluctuations flowed within the light pillar; it was the teleportation tunnel leading to the second level.

"Fellow Daoist, as a Human, your physical body is exceptionally strong. Did you cultivate some body refinement cultivation technique?" Fire Dragon looked at Fang Hong and asked casually.

Fang Hong merely smiled and did not respond, directly walking into the teleportation light pillar, his figure disappearing.

"Hmph. Arrogant human, don't tell me you think you can contend with us with just this much physical body strength? When we reach the third level, you'll see."

Poison Dragon snorted coldly.

"This human's physical body defense. I'm afraid it's not inferior to mine." At this moment, Earth Rock Turtle Emperor suddenly spoke, his expression slightly solemn.

From Fang Hong's performance during the trial just now, he had roughly judged Fang Hong's physical body strength, and he no longer dared to underestimate this Human in his heart.

"What? That Human's physical body is that strong? Can he compare to you, old Turtle?" Poison Dragon suddenly turned to look at him, his face full of shock.

"Hard to say, just a hunch." Earth Rock Turtle Emperor shook his head.

"Alright, no matter how strong his physical body is, can he withstand the combined efforts of the four of us? Let's go."

Fire Dragon said, then stepped into the teleportation light pillar expressionlessly.

"That's right. The moment this Human stepped into the Beast God Tower, his fate was already sealed to be slain by us."

"After we deal with those two puppets, the first thing we'll do is tear him apart." Azure Leaf Elephant Emperor sneered, his eyes dark and gloomy.

After speaking, he also stepped into the light pillar, with Poison Dragon and Earth Rock Turtle Emperor following behind him.
