Chapter 222: Evil Moon In The Sky (2/2)
Despite the pain, he must continue to persevere!
Despite the fatigue, he mustn’t fall down!
No matter what it was, success could only be found by perpetual persistence.
The sixth night was long as it slowly passed. On the next morning, Feng Feiyun stood proudly with his stone saber in a solemn posture just as sharp and tough as the blade in his hand.
The sixth day, seventh day, eighth day, ninth day, tenth day…
Everyone outside of the tower had been waiting for ten whole days, but they still hadn’t seen Feng Feiyun leave the Immeasurable Tower.
“Damn! Is that Feng Feiyun still human? He actually spent thirteen days in the Immeasurable Tower. Even if his willpower is strong, this is thirteen days without eating, shouldn’t he have lost all of his strength by now?”
“Of course he is not human, he is the son of the demon!”
“My ass! Can the son of the demon still have strength without eating?”
“Perhaps it is because his body is different from ordinary people, which is why he can persevere for so long. For others, even if their willpower could handle it, their physical body couldn’t.”
Everyone believed that this was made possible because Feng Feiyun had demonic blood running through his body, a body that surpassed that of an ordinary man, allowing him to fight for thirteen days at the sixth floor without suffering defeat.
It wasn’t until the fifteenth day that someone finally disagreed with this idea. Even the son of the demon wouldn’t be able to not lose any strength after half a month of not eating.
Ji Cangyue was standing in the bamboo forest while gazing at the moon’s reflection on the lake surface. At this time, she spoke to the person behind her: “Feng Feiyun cultivates the ‘Eight Arts Manual’ from the ‘Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record’. Moreover, he cultivated three different elements — Dark Water, Crimson Fire, and Verdant Wood — from the five elements to grand achievement. Nothing in this world can elude the five elements; the energy in this world are all of water and wood. He is able to control water vapor, wood energy, and fire energy, thus his physical strength would not decline even after a month of starvation.”
Ji Feng came out from the forest and stood behind her to say: “So that is the case. However, to persevere for fifteen days in there… This willpower is truly frightening.”
Ji Cangyue, with her pretty brows and black hair swaying in the night breeze, gave off a cold and tranquil atmosphere. Although her cultivation was not as strong as Ji Feng’s, her temperament was much more intense.
She was a natural born spiritualist, so her future achievements would be no joke. They would be even greater than Ji Feng with his Full Moon Heavenly Gaze.
“Are you lurking around Feng Feiyun for the ‘Eight Arts Manual’?” Ji Feng clearly knew that Murong Ta was Ji Cangyue.
“The ‘Eight Arts Manual’?” Haha…!” Her dark eyes were as sharp as a sword and as cold as ice, causing a thin layer of ice to form on the lake’s surface.
Ji Feng, who was standing behind her, also felt a chilling sensation. It seemed that Feng Feiyun had hurt her quite a bit. Ji Cangyue’s cruel methods had been well known among the Death Spirit Children of the Ji Clan, so Feng Feiyun’s funeral couldn’t be far off.

When the twenty-seventh day came, Feng Feiyun finally felt a weakness deep inside his body that permeated all the way down to his bone and marrow. Even the energy of the five elements was not able to resist this feeble sensation.
It had almost been a month, but he hadn’t seen a sliver of hope of passing the sixth floor. Moreover, the wounds accumulated all over his body had become more and more serious. He was having trouble breathing from the fatigue.
Perhaps tomorrow… would be when he falls!
The ancient city was swallowed by darkness once again as the world became bitingly cold.
Feng Feiyun had been searching around the city to find a portal to the seventh floor to no avail. He simply didn’t know how to defeat this floor.
At midnight, a moon slowly rose in the endless night; the bright moonlight with some floating clouds was accompanied by a gray haze.
This was the first time Feng Feiyun had seen the moon after reaching the sixth floor. This was somewhat bizarre since he had never heard of a place where the moon rose every twenty-seven days.
The moment the moonlight fell on his body, the black doll that was initially inside his Boundary Spirit Stone emitted a faint black light as if it was absorbing the moonlight.
“Whoosh!” The black light flashed.
A girl dressed in black flew out from the Boundary Spirit Stone and stood there like a beautiful ghost bathing in the moonlight.
Feng Feiyun suddenly opened his eyes with his hands gripping the stone saber while glaring at the girl in black.
This girl dressed in black was the grand achievement God Base that he had met back at the fourth floor. However, at this moment, she was not at all like a grand achievement God Base. As she devoured the moonlight, he could tell that her cultivation was unfathomable.
‘Finally reached the sixth floor! When the evil moon reaches the sky was the best time for this divine intent to seize the real body.’ When the moonlight shone on her face, her appearance began to change. Feng Feiyun’s pupil constantly enlarged as he couldn’t believe the scene unraveling before him. She…
