Chapter 432 -Back to Tower of Trials
After conversing with Francia, he entered the tower of trials and swiftly reached level 91, leaving the level incomplete after defeating Kaigu.
Currently, he sent Kaigu with Ronin for a special mission, and both were heading towards the chaotic space sea.
The chaotic space sea is a very mysterious location, and many True Saints have perished there. It is considered one of the most forbidden and dangerous places in the Immortal Plane.
Dave isn't interested in such places, but Ronin reported that many individuals, including ancient beings who have slumbered in the Immortal Plane for a very long time, have awakened.
There are ancestors of various clans and inherent cultivators who have lived in seclusion, away from public view.
Ronin sensed something unusual about this event, so he reported it to Dave. Dave learned from Aby that the Chaotic Space Sea is a genuine terror even in the celestial plane, and it rarely appears there.
Entering the place leads to getting lost, and only a few manage to escape. It is said that those who do become stronger in terms of space and time mastery.
The place is exceedingly mysterious, and even gods fear entering it due to the special restrictions that could threaten their immortality.
Although the Chaotic Space Sea has been dormant in the Immortal Plane for a long time, it now shows signs of opening.
Dave believes that Ronin and Kaigu are capable of conquering that place, so he isn't worried about it.

<Welcome back master!>
<Level 91>
<Mission: Kill all the undead>
Dave opened his eyes and found himself in a dark and eerie place. "Oh, an undead theme, huh?" he remarked.
Dave scanned his surroundings and spotted many undead roses emerging from the grave. They were different from typical undead creatures, as their bones were made of gold.
Kakkak! Their golden jaws creaked, and they regarded Dave as if he were prey.
"Oh, True Saints undead, and their numbers are almost reaching a million," Dave noted.
Despite his surprise, Dave smiled and drew his extinguisher, which had finally been freed from Azrael's curse. It now radiated an overwhelming amount of killing intent, eager to wreak havoc.
"Buddy, let's fight," Dave said as he faced the undead before him and swung his sword.
Boom! Thousands of True Saints undead were instantly slain. For Dave, dispatching a True Saint was easy because he had already reached the pinnacle of this plane. If he desired, he could ascend at any moment. In the Immortal Plane, he was practically invincible, and no one dared to challenge him, thanks to his defeat of Azrael.
Dave activated his sword heart, determined to use this opportunity to become an even stronger swordsman..
.........
Seven months later, Dave remained emotionless as he continued to carve his way through hordes of sea monsters. He had now reached the 99th level of the Tower of Trials.
Dave had initially thought he could finish his killing spree and ascend to the 100th level more swiftly, but the sheer number of targets exceeded his expectations, taking him seven long months to reach this point.
Throughout his journey, he had accumulated numerous rewards for completing these levels, all of which defied the laws of the universe in some way. He stored these items for future use, just in case he needed them.
Dave had achieved mastery in his new fighting style, elevating his swordsmanship to new heights. He had also developed unique skills, such as his ultra-dodge instinct, allowing him to evade attacks even with his eyes closed due to seven months of relentless combat.
His sword, on the other hand, remained as bloodthirsty as ever and had not been returned to his space storage for the entire seven months.
Dave currently faced a colossal 20-meter shark, covered in bruises from his relentless assault. Although Dave's sword could easily pierce the monster, it displayed remarkable tenacity, unable to regenerate due to the power of Dave's weapon.
The behemoth emerged from the depths, its sleek body showcasing rows of teeth, each the size of a short sword. Its obsidian eyes locked onto Dave, harboring a malevolent intelligence. This was no ordinary sea predator; it was a leviathan, a true terror of the deep.
The Extinguisher sang through the air, a silver streak filled with killing intent. Dave's skillful strike found its mark, cleaving through the shark's thick, scaled hide.
"Let's see if you can survive this attack," Dave muttered with determination.
"Time for a barbecue," he declared, poised for the final confrontation.
<Sin of Wrath>
<Inferno Rage>
Suddenly, Dave's sword became enveloped in black flames, pulsating with wrathful energies. The intensity of the fire was staggering, yet his sword effortlessly withstood the searing heat.
Boom! His attack struck the shark, obliterating half of its body and immolating it with the black fire.
"Oh, still alive?"
Dave remarked casually as a torrent of dark, briny blood gushed forth, dyeing the ocean a sinister shade of crimson. The colossal shark writhed in agony but was far from defeated.
"Roaar!"
In a final, desperate struggle, a massive tsunami surged towards Dave. Unfazed, Dave calmly responded, "Hmpp, a final struggle, huh?"
He invoked his abilities: <Sin of Sloth> and <Sloth Bound Shield>.
A shield materialized before him, impervious to the rushing waters. The monster's attack was formidable, and while it wouldn't harm Dave directly, he didn't want his clothes to be ruined again.
Time and time again, Dave's Extinguisher found its mark, deftly slicing through the relentless onslaught of the colossal shark. Despite the shark's remarkable tenacity, it began to falter. Its once-mighty movements slowed, and its strength steadily dwindled.
As Dave gazed into the fading obsidian eyes of the beast, he knew it was time to bring this battle to a close. With swift precision, he positioned himself atop the colossal monster and swung his sword towards its head.
"Purple Lightning Sword Technique!"
<Violent Bolt Flash>
A bolt of purple lightning struck the creature's head, effortlessly piercing its thick skin and sealing its fate.
Boom! The colossal monster met its demise, sinking beneath the depths of the ocean. Dave sheathed his sword and contemplated the lifeless body of his formidable foe.
"Hmm, finally," Dave mused, a sense of relief washing over him. Moments later, he received a notification confirming the completion of level 99.
<Ding! Congratulations to the master>
<Level 99: Completed>
<Reward: 50,000 sin points, The Emperor's Stick>
