“You wicked beast, surrender now!”
Chen Ping’s voice, amplified through the tower’s core, echoed throughout the entire ninth level.
He mobilised the full power of the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Countless spatial chains and suppression runes emerged, forming an inescapable net that tightly bound and suppressed the Devouring Dragon!
No matter how the Devouring Dragon struggled and roared, it was powerless against the complete Demon-Suppressing Tower. In the end, it was forced back into the depths of its seal and fell silent once more.
The upheaval was completely quelled.
With another thought from Chen Ping, Cen Biqing, Old Black, Thousand Faces, and all the dragons who were willing to submit and had not committed unforgivable sins were gently enveloped by a soft spatial force. They were teleported out of the Demon-Suppressing Tower and appeared in the Void Rift Valley outside.
Seeing the sky again after being imprisoned for countless years, these dragons let out tremendously excited dragon roars. Their gazes towards Chen Ping were filled with gratitude and awe.
Chen Ping extended his palm. The towering Demon-Suppressing Tower rapidly shrank, eventually becoming a palm-sized, exquisite and crystal-clear miniature tower that landed in his hand, emanating gentle spatial fluctuations.
At this point, the Demon-Suppressing Tower, one of the Three Towers, had finally been successfully subdued by him!
Looking at the small tower in his palm, then at the excited Cen Biqing, Old Black, and the others beside him, Chen Ping felt a surge of heroic spirit.
With the Demon-Suppressing Tower, his strength and foundation had skyrocketed once again.
Moreover, hundreds of dragons now stood behind Chen Ping, all of them part of his forces.
Chen Ping held the exquisite Demon-Suppressing Tower in his hand, followed by hundreds of dragons with majestic auras and varied forms. The moment he appeared in the Void Rift Valley, it was like pouring cold water into a pot of boiling oil. The entire scene exploded instantly!
The cultivators from various factions, who had grown somewhat subdued due to the prolonged stalemate and mutual wariness, now all widened their eyes, staring in disbelief at the sight before them.
The Demon-Suppressing Tower… had vanished?
No, it had been claimed by someone!
That young man, only at the fifth grade of the Human Immortal realm, had not only emerged alive from the tower, but he had actually subdued the Demon-Suppressing Tower?
And those dark, oppressive figures behind him, radiating powerful draconic might… were they the dragons suppressed within the tower?
He had released them all?
Shock, confusion, jealousy, greed… all sorts of complex emotions intertwined on everyone’s faces, finally erupting into a clamour!
“The… the Demon-Suppressing Tower has been subdued by him!”
“How is that possible! How did he do it?”
“Those are… dragons! Hundreds of dragons! Heavens!”
“Just what kind of fortune did this kid obtain inside?!”
After a brief dead silence came an outburst like a volcanic eruption.
Everyone’s gaze fixed firmly on the exquisite little tower in Chen Ping’s hand. Their breathing grew heavy, their eyes turning red.
The Demon-Suppressing Tower!
This was a legendary innate supreme treasure, containing endless space and possessing immeasurable might!
Obtaining this single tower would be enough to found an immortal dynasty and stand at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens!
Greed instantly overwhelmed reason.
The elder from the Blazing Sun Sect, who had previously proposed an alliance, was the first to step forward. Barely suppressing his excitement, he cupped his hands towards Chen Ping, but his tone carried an unmistakable command.
“Young friend, congratulations on gaining the recognition of this treasure! However, this tower is of great importance. It concerns the welfare of the entire Nine Heavens and even the greater world. It is not something that one person or one clan can monopolise.
I implore you to consider the greater good and hand over the tower, so that it may be jointly safeguarded by our various great sects. That would be the righteous path!”
His words sounded noble and grand, immediately drawing agreement from many others.
“Indeed! How can such a priceless treasure be monopolised by you alone?”
“Hand over the Demon-Suppressing Tower! Otherwise, today you will meet your end with no burial place!”
“And these dragons! They are rare resources and should be shared!”
The leader of the Black Water Grotto added sinisterly, his gaze sweeping over the dragons behind Chen Ping as if looking at a pile of walking treasures.
