Chapter 459: On this day, the name Yang Qiangzheng echoed through the Twelve Dynasties
The Ten Thousand Realms Trial Tower, the 50th level.
A rested Yang Qiangzheng stepped into this level.
As soon as he entered, he felt a peculiar atmosphere, with demonic voices boiling over.
This was a large Demon Clan tribe. Yang Qiangyou took one look inside and drew in a sharp breath.
"So many demons... There must be over a hundred of them!"
"Making me fight a hundred on my own???"
"What kind of madness is this, I'm withdrawing!"
"Going home, going home."
Yang Qiangzheng turned his head, wanting to leave, but was stopped by the Mechanical Insect.
"Look closely... Not all of the demons have combat power, this is different from the previous places."
After stepping into the challenge level, there would be a platform where he could overlook the demon stronghold. As long as he didn't leave the platform, he would not be discovered or attacked by the demons.
Considered a safe zone.
Looking more closely now, Yang Qiangzheng realized that not all of these hundred or so demons were combat-type demons of the same realm as him. There were also many old, weak, women, and children demons.
This was a complete tribe.
"But the numbers are still too many... I cannot manage."
"The rest is manageable, but do I have to kill these little creatures crawling on the ground as well?"
"Such a strange challenge level."
Mechanical Insect: "These are all creations of the Trial Tower, not real demons. You don't need to hold back, just kill them all."
"I'd rather fight demons of the same level for three hundred rounds."
Yang Qiangzheng felt this level was a bit peculiar.
But the Mechanical Insect was right, no matter what, it was all virtual, he didn't have to take it seriously.
"Insect, plan a route for me! We are aiming to reach the 50th level! Even though I've only made it halfway to the 100th level... given my abilities, it's already impressive."
Yang Qiangzheng didn't know how far the other powerful figures outside had reached, but from his keen intuition... 50th level, maybe only a minority could reach it.
If luck was on his side, he might even rank within the top hundred on the [Trial List].
"To think I could also seize a spot on the list? That's amazing!"
Yang Qiangzheng's lips curled up, realizing he could bring a little glory to his family.
"The path has been planned... Use drilling to enter from the weakly-defended western side. After surfacing, silently assassinate three Spirit Blood Demon Clan members, then disguise as a Rabbit Demon, take out the demon women and cubs in the adjacent house, then penetrate through the walls of the house and kill all the way through..."
The route planned by the Mechanical Insect was not just a verbal description, but it also drew out action paths in front of Yang Qiangzheng, making it very clear to him.
"Alright, I'm going in, correct me anytime."
Yang Qiangzheng jumped down from the platform, diving into the ground to move stealthily.
This move was extremely proficient, honed through countless practices in the past few months of challenges, he had mastered his talents so well, unlike his former self... a complete transformation.
At this moment, he was more like a warrior, not a plague god despised by everyone.
Whoosh!
Yang Qiangzheng needed no weapon; every inch of his body was a powerful weapon.
The main weapon being the pincers of the Golden Core giant claw demon, tearing through these Early-stage Foundation Establishment demons like tearing through tofu.
Puff puff puff!
Three streaks of blood lights emerged, and three Spirit Blood Demon members were silently crushed at the neck, lying on the ground... blood gushing from their necks, eyes filled with disbelief.
Yang Qiangzheng, smelling the blood in the air and seeing his hands glowing... was stunned.
"Is this... real?"
Soon after, two big-bellied demon women with demon children from the neighboring room came over, followed by a few small, untransformed Rabbit Demons, hopping on the ground.
They saw Yang Qiangzheng and the three dismembered demon bodies on the ground...
Their mouths gaped, eyes filled with horror.
And then...
Puff puff puff!
Yang Qiangzheng's other hand turned into a tentacle, smashing the heads of the two female demons, silencing them forever.
The little rabbit demons below, confused, unaware of what had happened, began hopping over the headless corpses, swaying around, seemingly clueless...
Yang Qiangzheng: "..."
"Why?"
"How could this be real? Where is this place?"
At this moment, the Mechanical Insect reminded: "Kill them, or more demons will be alerted... You will fail the challenge."
"But these are... children, they don't understand anything..."
"I... I have several friends like this in the 9th Zone of Bright City..."
"Leave killing to warriors, what's killing children about?"
Yang Qiangzheng mumbled, unable to believe this was a challenge given by the Trial Tower.
And in this moment of hesitation, the little Rabbit Demons hopped away, shrieking sharp screams into the courtyard.
"Ah!!!"
"Who!?"
Soon, more than a hundred demons began to encircle Yang Qiangzheng!
...
A streak of golden light crossed the sky of the Twelve Dynasties!
[Trial List] erupted in dazzling brilliance!
A message spread to all cultivators.
[Danai Dynasty, Foundation Establishment stage one cultivator Yang Qiangzheng, first to charge the Ten Thousand Realms Trial Tower, halted at the forty-ninth level, achieved personal best record, ranked first!]
Soon after, golden light shone, and the [Trial List] refreshed.
The previously unrivaled Murong Ziyuan slid down from the first throne, ranking second.
And the one who first reached the 25th level, Yin Zhiping, had fallen to the third position.
At this moment, Yang Qiangzheng's name echoed through the Twelve Dynasties!
Chen Ye of the Galaxy Dynasty glanced up.
"49th level... Foundation Establishment stage one, amazing! Is it a rare cultivation technique for suppressing realms? Or some Heaven and Earth Strange Objects? Or possibly... a Great Power reborn? Yang Qiangzheng, interesting."
