Chapter 407

As the tip of the sword locked onto Aurora, a black beam of light with a diameter of nearly ten meters shot out in the direction of the blood-colored sphere. This attack was more powerful than all of Aurora's previous attacks. It let out a deafening roar as it poured toward the blood-colored sphere.

The black beam of light hit the still-spinning blood-colored sphere under Neptune's concern. However, it did not leave a single mark on the surface of the sphere. Only a faint layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the sphere.

The Sea King was finally able to relax.

Aurora seemed to be angry that his attack did not work, and he let out an angry roar. He switched from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands. After holding the sword with both hands, his aura skyrocketed again. The energy that gathered on the black longsword grew stronger, and the black mist on the longsword was about to condense into a solid object.

Aurora took three minutes to condense the sword before he swung it. As he swung the longsword, a black mist spewed out and turned into tens of thousands of sharp blades. Like a tide, they rushed toward the blood-colored sphere. It seemed that they would not stop until they pierced through the blood-colored sphere.

However, the blood-colored sphere continued to spin quietly as if it was not affected by the outside world at all. Even its rhythm was not disrupted.

The countless black blades stabbed toward the blood-colored sphere in a frenzy. When they touched the surface of the blood-colored sphere, they rippled like rain falling on the surface of a lake. But soon after, those swords also disintegrated like broken glass, turning back into black smoke, which was swept up by the rotating blood-colored sphere and sucked in.

Aurora was a little stunned when he saw this. This was the strongest move he could master, but it was easily countered. Even though he was not very intelligent, he knew that he had lost.

After absorbing the black energy, the blood-red sphere's rotation speed, which had been maintained at the same rate, actually sped up a little. Just when Neptune was wondering what was going on … The blood-colored sphere suddenly stirred up a huge wave and turned into a giant palm nearly a hundred meters long that fell from the sky. Its target was Aurora, who was holding the sword.

The giant palm fell, and the entire sixth floor of the Suppressing Devil Tower shook for millions of miles. Even Lilliath and the others, who were far away on the sixteenth floor, felt a faint tremor under their feet.

"What happened? Was there an earthquake? " Clark and Brog, who had already escaped to the seventh floor, felt it even more clearly. The entire seventh floor had just been shaking violently.

However, the sixth level of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda suffered the most damage. The ground of the entire world cracked into dozens of continents under the force of the palm. Countless demon beasts fled in all directions.

As for Aurora, there was naturally no way that she could survive such a strike, and she was completely pulverized into dust.

However, the black sword remained undamaged.

This seemed to be within the black sphere's expectations. The giant palm broke into pieces and turned into thin red streams that climbed up the black longsword like vines. The black sword trembled uncontrollably, trying to break free, but to no avail.

The blood-colored energy climbed extremely slowly. It took almost half an hour before it covered most of the sword. A black crystal bead suddenly shot out from the sword and flew into the distance.

However, the crimson energy once again condensed into a giant palm and captured it.

Almost as soon as the black crystal bead left the sword, the longsword was completely pulverized.

Neptune looked at this scene in shock. The evil sword of death was refined by the King of Death, and the crystal bead was most likely a drop of the King of Death's blood marrow.

Neptune's guess was soon verified.

This was because a shadow slowly condensed above the crystal bead. Neptune could only see that it was a man in a black robe. However, the man's face was covered by a strange layer of energy, making it difficult to see him clearly. After the shadow condensed, a strange aura spread out, causing all the vegetation on the sixth floor of the Suppressing Devil Tower to wither. What was even more incredible was that the shadow actually spoke. "I'd like to see who is so bold as to melt my blood marrow!"

After the phantom appeared, a black figure began to condense above the blood-colored sphere. The figure was in a sitting position, and the hood of a black cloak completely covered the figure's face. Without saying a word, he just raised his hand slightly and pointed a finger casually. The shadow that spoke seemed to be struck by lightning in an instant. After a moment of stagnation, it completely dissipated into nothingness.

The crystal bead condensed from the blood marrow floated into the blood-colored sphere, and the black figure above the blood-colored sphere gradually dissipated.

After absorbing the drop of blood marrow, the blood-colored sphere began to spin wildly.

The rotation lasted for three days and three nights before it stopped. The surface of the blood-colored sphere gradually dried up and turned into a cocoon.

Inside the cocoon, there was a breath of life.

Neptune waited patiently. He could feel that the breath was slightly similar to Gu Ding's.

Lilliath and the others had already gathered on the sixteenth floor. Luo Luoli, Clark, and the others were also there.

After confirming that Gu Ding was fine, Neptune informed them that he was safe and observed silently, waiting for any changes to occur to Gu Ding.

Another seven days and seven nights passed. Finally, a crack appeared on the cocoon, and a hand stretched out from within. Then, a young man with smooth and sleek skin crawled out from the crack.

When Neptune saw this figure, he was a little unsure if the man was Gu Ding or not.

"Neptune, find me a set of clothes!" The young man looked down at his body and shouted unhurriedly.

Neptune was sure of the other party's identity.

Gu Ding looked a little funny in his old clothes because he was nearly twenty centimeters taller than before. His pants and sleeves were shorter, and so was his coat. His body was now that of a young man in his twenties. Although he was still thin, he was completely different from the thin and small figure he used to be. He was much more muscular than before. It was just that his face was still ninety percent similar to before, but it was also rounder than before, making him look more handsome.

"Looks like the first thing I'll do when I get out is to buy clothes!" Gu Ding grinned. "I've always wanted to grow taller. I didn't expect to achieve it after a nap."

When Neptune heard this, he was even more certain that he was Gu Ding. He could not help but tease him. "No one will be able to recognize you like this."

"Probably not." Gu Ding also smiled and nodded. "Lili will be very angry. I used to be less than ten centimeters taller than her, but now I'm more than thirty centimeters taller."

"How do you feel about your body now?" Neptune could not help but ask.

"Very good. I feel full of power." Gu Ding nodded.

Neptune wrapped around Gu Ding's wrist again and changed back into an intelligent wristwatch. "Let me see!"

Neptune was a little surprised by the changes in Gu Ding's data.

First of all, his cultivation had improved. He had finally become a demigod, and his Cell Index and Spirit Index had increased by a thousand times. In other words, Gu Ding's basic combat effectiveness had increased by a thousand times. In addition, Divine Fire had gained a new type of Nirvana Fire. Due to the increase in Divine Fire and cultivation, his God Source points had increased by nine times, and he was now thirteen stars strong. Even the effect of Imperial Body Manifestation had increased by three times.

The original Natural Divine Power 'Immortal Golden Body' had been replaced by 'Devouring Heaven and Earth', and two divine powers, 'Darkness Immunity' and 'Rage Attack', were added. The original combat effectiveness enhancement abilities had disappeared.

Neptune also guessed that the Nirvana Fire must have come from the Phoenix Blood Nirvana Pill. The Darkness Immunity must have come from the crystal-like blood marrow. The Rage Attack divine power must have come from the Moon Howling Celestial Wolf bloodline. As for the Devouring Heaven and Earth, it must have been the hidden ability in Gu Ding's body because Gu Ding's black God Source had always had a special devouring effect. As for the improvement of Imperial Body Manifestation, it was because of the Phoenix Blood Nirvana Pill, the crystal-like blood marrow, and the hundreds of thousands of wolves, which contained a lot of vitality energy.

Seeing the changes in his body's data, Gu Ding was a little surprised. "I didn't expect the advancement of cultivation to change so much!"

"When you advance to demigod, there should be Heaven's Retribution. Don't you feel it?" Neptune could see the Retribution of Heaven's Retribution in Gu Ding's body.

"I feel it, but the Retribution seems to be blocked by this tower and can't descend." Gu Ding nodded and told him what he felt.

"It can even block Heaven's Retribution. It seems that this Devil Subduing Tower is not an ordinary thing!" Neptune was a little surprised to hear Gu Ding's words.

"We can talk about Heaven's Retribution later. The most important thing now is to find Lili and the others!" Gu Ding was also worried about the safety of Lili and the others. "Neptune, lead the way!"

"Lili and the others are safe. You can rest assured about that." Neptune had other plans for Gu Ding. "The fake door on the seventh floor has a passage that leads to the first floor of the Central Devil Subduing Tower. I suggest you take that path! "

"Why?" Gu Ding asked curiously.

"Because there's something good in the Central Devil Subduing Tower!" Neptune kept Gu Ding in suspense.
