Mm...
Zhao Tian stood still for a moment to raise his gaze looking at the imposing black door in front of him.
"The last floor of this black pagoda..." he murmured under his breath, his gaze narrowing.
*thoom* With a powerful kick, Zhao Tian sent the door flying, obliterating it into countless pieces.
The thick, ancient wood splintered and shattered into countless pieces, the fragments scattering across the enormous chamber.
Dust swirled in the air, catching the dim light as Zhao Tian stepped across the line, his gaze sweeping over the scene before him.
But what caught Zhao Tian's attention were the bodies lying, scattered around the room... gigantic forms, each the size of a small mountain.
Hm? Giant humans?
However, with the loud sound he created just now, one by one the lying bodies began to wake up.
Their heads resembled that of a minotaur, bore thick horns that curled menacingly, while their faces were a grotesque mix of human and beast, with sharp teeth jutting from their mouths and glowing yellow eyes half-hidden beneath heavy brows.
The floor trembled under their immense weight as they slowly rose to their feet, their bodies stretching as they stood to their full height—fifty meters tall
Zhao Tian raised his gaze to look around at the number of monsters "They are in the Monarch Astral Stage... a little disappointing."
*swish* A sword with a black blade and purple hilt appeared in his hand and he teleported up in the air, plunging his sword right into the head of one of the monsters. find more stories on NovelFire|lempyr
*sleesh* "GUAAARGHHH!"
The creature let out a blood-curdling scream writhing in agony, but Zhao Tian had an indifferent face and a black glint flickered through his eyes.
*woosh* Dark flames burst out of the sword, incinerating the monster into cinders and he landed on the floor.
He turned to look over his shoulder at the remaining monsters.
"Next..."
...
"This is easy. Even my women could clear this easily..."
*thud* As the last monster's head rolled on the floor, Zhao Tian retracted the sword back into his storage ring.
"Now, let's see what are the rewards for clearing this tower..."
He took a shabby book from his storage ring and tossed it into Xia Shenyi's hand "What about this? This is the second reward I got on the floor."
Huh? Looking at the shabby book in her hands, Xia Shenyi was dumbfounded and Zhao Suyin who was beside her, giggled.
"Tian'er, seems like you gave the wrong book... this is blank."
A frown crept on Zhao Tian's face and saw the book, but he could clearly see what was written on the cover of the book "But I can see it..."
"Maybe like that book, this can also be only seen by the Honoured one?"
Hearing his words, Chi Miya who was listening, nodded her head "That must be the case... and what is this book about Tian?"
"The process of refining the Honoured One Physique..."
HUHH? Xia Shenyi gasped in shock and her gaze trembled "Refining the Honoured One physique...?"
"Y-Your physique is already powerful and if you refine it... that is a cheat code."
Zhao Tian reached out to take the book from her hands "But the thing is Shenyi, there are nine stages in this refinement and this book has only two stages... the other seven are missing."
With a thoughtful expression, Xia Shenyi mumbled "I see..."
Zhao Tian could only sigh "But damn... I still couldn't fully understand... because the wording is a bit weird."
Zhao Ying tilted her head in confusion "Wording is a bit weird?"
Nodding his head, Zhao Tian opened the first page of the book and began to read...
"Feel thou the breath of the heavens, and let thy soul be as a river, flowing in harmony with the eternal."
"With but a word, thou shalt part the seas, and with but a thought, the heavens shall tremble."
"At the end of this path, thou art no longer bound by fate nor destiny, for thou shalt be the master of both."
-_- Huh? The women were bewildered to hear this.
What the hell is that?
Seeing their dumbfounded faces, Zhao Tian shrugged his hands "Maybe this is the ancient way of speaking or something? I don't know..."
"Well anyway, the third reward is..."
