Chapter 919: Mo Su’s Failure (2/2)
Huang Xiaolong’s strength also rose to peak late-Sixth Order Highgod Realm, the Seventh Order was merely one step away.
Still, the Seventh Order was a boundary that had curbed many Highgod Realm masters who, despite bitterly cultivating for tens of millennia, were stuck at peak late-Sixth Order Highgod Realm, unable to step into the Seventh Order in their lifetime.
If one was lacking in talent, there was little hope of them touching the Seventh Order no matter how hard they worked. For those with godheads below rank five, advancing to Seventh Order Highgod Realm was nothing but a dream. Only Highgod Realm cultivators with rank five and above godheads had any hope, but then again, even a rank five godhead merely had one-tenth of a chance.
Whereas a rank six godhead would rise their chances to one third.
While Huang Xiaolong was absorbing the dark energy on the twelfth floor, attempting to break through to Seventh Order Highgod Realm, Devil Son Mo Su finally cleared the ninth floor and entered the tenth.
When Mo Su stepped onto the tenth floor, resplendent light shined on the outer tower walls, causing a big stir on the square.
More than a few in the crowd were trying to guess which sect’s disciple that was. At the same time, they were guessing whether this disciple could pass the tenth floor, entering the eleventh.
Outside at the square, the Fortune Gate Chief Wang Yu was frowning looking at this scene. In the last couple of years, Grand Elder Zhang Lin had flipped the City of Devils several times over searching for Huang Xiaolong, yet there hadn't been a single clue of that runt after all this time.
“Chief, that Huang Xiaolong, maybe he didn’t come to the City of Devils at all. Perhaps the news we received before was fake.” Zhang Lin said.
Only this explanation was the most logical as to why they had never found Huang Xiaolong in the City of Devils.
Wang Yu reluctantly agreed, “That seems like it.” Then he turned toward Sun Yi, “Any news on the Huang Family?”
Sun Yi shook his head, “After the Huang Family escaped the last time, there has been further news of them. Who would’ve thought the Heavenly Mountain’s defensive barriers are so powerful, not even Ninth order Highgod Realm masters can destroy them. However, this subordinate estimates that the Huang Family is still in the Black Tortoise Galaxy.”
The temperature in Wang Yu’s voice became chillingly cold, “Give the order to our disciples. Regardless of the cost, send everyone out to find Huang Xiaolong and the Huang Family’s whereabouts, anyone who finds them will be heavily rewarded!”
“Yes, Chief!”
Two years passed quickly.
Before the spectating crowd, Mo Su who was on the tenth floor finally cleared it, stepping onto the eleventh floor.
The Hellion Tower’s resplendent lights covered the whole City of Devils once more. Watching this, the crowd outside broke out in a thunderous cheer, excitement surging in the air.
When everyone was punching the air with their hands, cheering excitedly, a black shadow flew out from the brightly shining eleventh floor.
Even though the Mo Su was a rare talented genius, just as he appeared on the eleventh floor, he couldn’t withstand even the first shockwave of the giant’s axe strike. Hence, in mere seconds after entering, he ran out.
The noisy cheering crowd plummeted into silence as if an invisible hand suddenly squeezed their throats, robbing them of their voices.
In the abrupt silence, the figure that flew out from the eleventh floor became increasingly clear in the crowd’s eyes.
“It’s Devil Son Mo Su!”
“Devil Son Mo Su, this… how could it be!”
Similar exclamations sounded from all over the square.
All devil clan disciples, Elders, and Grand Elders stiffened on the spot, whereas Mo Dingtian felt as if a large hand clutched his heart, a sharp pain piercing him. His expression was extremely ugly.
The one who cleared the tenth floor but failed the eleventh floor trial was actually their Devil Son Mo Su! Then… who was the person on the twelfth floor?! Mo Dingtian stared dazedly at the Hellion Tower’s twelfth floor, it’s resplendent light seemed particularly glaring in his eyes right now.
In the end, before the flabbergasted crowd, Mo Su’s figure plummeted to the square. The ground quaked with a thunderous boom.
Only then did the devil clan disciples react, some hurried over to help Mo Su up. After a flurry of confusion, Mo Su regained consciousness.
Having regained his consciousness, he looked at the devil clan disciples around him, laughing jubilantly; he had just cleared the tenth floor!
