The most important thing on this journey is to obtain the Creation Lotus Seed!
After all.
This relates to whether he can become the first in the assessment, change his martial arts aptitude, lay a solid foundation, and even have the earth-shattering opportunity to become a Holy Son of the Holy Land in the future.
Therefore, he had to be cautious.
According to the hint, the Creation Lotus Seed was an accidental hidden reward obtained by Xu Chen after killing the demons on the tenth level and clearing it.
With a fixed target, Xu Chuan's next step was to reach the tenth level before Xu Chen, then find that demon tribe, kill these demons, and obtain the Creation Lotus Seed.
At this moment, Xu Chuan had only one thought: to seize opportunities!
He wielded his saber and headed for the trial on the first level.
In this trial tower, each level was a miniature world, and within each world, there were different trial tasks.
As long as these tasks were completed, one could proceed to higher levels.
Xu Chuan was lucky and quickly found the trial task on the first level.
[Slay the Qi Condensation Realm third-level Snake King in Viper Valley.]
A lone Qi Condensation Realm third-level Snake King could be killed by even someone in the Qi Condensation Realm first-level with confidence.
But this task was clearly not that simple.
Viper Valley, as the name suggests, was filled with venomous snakes.
To kill the Snake King, one had to deal with these venomous snakes first, otherwise, it would be impossible to approach the Snake King.
According to the task information, Xu Chuan arrived at Viper Valley.
As Xu Chuan expected, Viper Valley was filled with venomous snakes, but their cultivation did not exceed the peak Body Tempering Realm.
"Damn, if someone with trypophobia came here, they'd faint on the spot!"
Although Xu Chuan was not afraid of snakes, the sheer number of them all over the ground, making it impossible to step, gave him goosebumps.
"Die!"
Xu Chuan swung the Killing God Saber in his hand and unleashed a saber strike.
The sharp saber energy instantly swept out, rolling up the venomous snakes on the ground, slicing them all in half, and killing them on the spot!
Xu Chuan's saber strike carved a path through the sea of snakes for him to walk.
"Hiss hiss~"
At this moment, these venomous snakes also discovered the intruder, Xu Chuan, and hissed as they surged towards him, unafraid of Xu Chuan's previous saber strike.
"Good!"
Xu Chuan furiously swung his saber, and the venomous snakes were cut down before they could even get close.
He also took this opportunity to advance deeper into Viper Valley.
The Snake King was in the snake den deep within Viper Valley.
Without expending much effort, Xu Chuan reached the snake den.
With Xu Chuan's cultivation at the Qi Condensation Realm fourth-level, the venomous snakes outside could not harm him in any way.
In the snake den, Xu Chuan saw the Snake King, a colorful giant snake, at least seven or eight feet long.
And surrounding it were a group of Qi Condensation Realm first-level venomous snakes.
"So that's why it was all small fries outside. It turns out the real tough ones are all gathered here with you!"
"Die!"
Xu Chuan did not want to waste too much time on the first level of the trial tower; he wanted to finish quickly!
The Snake King seemed to sense Xu Chuan's intention and commanded the surrounding venomous snakes to attack first.
Whoosh!
A foul wind swept through, and numerous venomous snakes lunged at Xu Chuan.
However, Xu Chuan's figure flashed, directly evading the attack, and then his long saber danced, instantly severing the heads of the venomous snakes guarding the Snake King.
In the snake den, only the Snake King remained.
The Snake King was furious, surprised that its subordinates were so easily defeated. It immediately took action, its tail sweeping towards Xu Chuan.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan grabbed the Snake King's tail, leaped to its seven-inch mark in a few swift movements, and thrust his long saber with all his might into the seven-inch spot.
"Pfft!"
The long saber directly pierced the Snake King.
"Roar!"
The seven-inch mark was pierced, and the pain instantly struck. The Snake King thrashed wildly, trying to shake Xu Chuan off.
"A beast is just a beast, only knowing how to use brute force!"
Xu Chuan sneered and raised his long saber again.
He channeled his vital energy to its limit and unleashed the third level of the Crimson Blood Saber Technique.
"Boom!"
After a loud explosion.
The Snake King turned into flying blood fragments.
The trial on the first level was thus completed, and Xu Chuan successfully advanced to the second level of the trial tower.
Meanwhile, Xu Chen had also dealt with the last beast and successfully reached the second level.
...
In this way, Xu Chuan killed demons as he encountered them, and monsters as he encountered them, pushing his way through. In just one day, he had reached the tenth level!
Outside the tower, three elders looked at the tenth level of the trial tower lighting up and smiled with satisfaction.
"Not bad, I didn't expect a disciple to enter the tenth level so quickly!"
"The cultivation of the outer disciples this year is higher than in previous years. It's normal for them to reach the tenth level so quickly."
Upon reaching the tenth level, Xu Chuan clearly noticed the difference in the environment. In this tenth level world, traces of architecture had begun to appear.
Although crude, they were indeed buildings.
"Is that demon tribe nearby?"
With this question in mind, Xu Chuan proceeded towards the area where he had discovered the buildings.
Finally, on a plain, he found his target for this journey—the demon tribe.
He also successfully received the task prompt for the tenth level.
[Kill all the demons on this plain.]
Without hesitation, Xu Chuan raised his saber and charged straight ahead.
Humans and demons are irreconcilable. Since he had discovered them, he certainly would not hold back.
Before Xu Chuan could get close to the tribe, two patrolling demons caught his attention. He quickly hid in a nearby tree and observed quietly.
"Do you think the leader's plan will succeed? We've been trapped here for generations; can we really escape?"
The two demons were acting furtively, even their patrols were cautious, as if they were hiding from the light.
"It will definitely succeed. We must believe in the leader. As long as he fuses that thing, he can lead us back to that world!"
"This Taiyi Holy Land is damn it all, trapping us here for so many years. When our race descends again, the first thing we will do is destroy them."
One of the demons said indignantly.
The conversation between these two demons was all heard by Xu Chuan.
The 'thing' they spoke of, Xu Chuan guessed, was the Creation Lotus Seed.
Clearly, this demon tribe had also discovered the magical properties of the Creation Lotus Seed, and their leader was in the process of fusing with it.
"I can't delay any longer!"
He had to snatch the Creation Lotus Seed before the leader fused with it!
Immediately, Xu Chuan stopped hiding and jumped down from the tree.
"Human, how dare you come to our demon tribe!"
The two demons discovered Xu Chuan and let out a furious roar.
Then, their demonic energy surged, emitting a strong, foul odor.
They then both charged at Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan did not hesitate and met them with his saber.
"Clang!"
As the long saber swung, a sharp saber aura cut through the air. A cold light flashed.
The two demons suddenly saw darkness before their eyes, and in the end, they only saw two headless corpses spewing blood, a familiar sensation.
Afterward, their corpses strangely and rapidly corroded.
In the blink of an eye, only a pool of pus remained on the spot.
Xu Chuan was not surprised by this.
Demons are not tolerated by this world. Once they die, they instantly turn into pus.
After killing these two demons, Xu Chuan, wielding the Killing God Saber, charged into the demon tribe.
Along the way, any demon he saw was slain with a single saber strike, without making a sound.
It didn't take long.
Xu Chuan arrived at the place with the densest demonic energy in the tribe.
At this moment, many demons were cultivating demonic arts here.
A heavy, foul odor mixed with surging malevolent energy emanated from this place.
It was a scene of hell on earth!
