Ye Xiao and Wang Que are both protagonists recognized by the system.

Seemingly having all the opportunities and boundless luck, but in reality, those who ultimately gain benefits are all the same.

As the “Son of Destiny’s Killer,” the protagonist’s luck is his own luck. In other words, Su Shi is the true heir of destiny. However, Wang Que and Ye Xiao still have significant differences.

At the very least, Su Shi finds Wang Que pleasing to the eye, and there are no irreconcilable conflicts between them.

“The small tower in Wang Que’s hand should be the key to the Demon-Locking Tower. He was also guided here because of it.”

“That small tower has already recognized him as its master. It can be said that we are taking advantage of him.”

This is also why Su Shi intervened at a critical moment.

Looking at Wang Que, who is still meditating, Su Shi explained, “Let him cultivate here, and we will go to the second floor first.”

“Alright.”

Yu Ren’er nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked ahead.

The stairs were also paved with black stones, turning around corners, dim and dark. The candlelight on the wall could barely illuminate the path.

Su Shi walked up the steps and swept his gaze around the darkness.

He always felt that there seemed to be something here, but when his spiritual sense passed over, there was nothing.

Arriving at the second floor, the scene suddenly cleared.

Similar to the spacious area on the 1th floor, but slightly smaller in size, making it seem a bit cramped.

Behind them, space twisted.

The entrances and exits of the stairs were sealed by invisible barriers.

Su Shi attempted to forcefully open it, but his spiritual power was instantly devoured as soon as it touched the barrier, not even a ripple could be generated.

He understood the “rules” of this black tower to some extent.

Passing each test would allow the choice to leave or continue upwards.

Once they entered the next level, there was no turning back.

The two walked into the square. Under the dim candlelight, one could still see patterns carved on the walls.

It seemed to be a continuation of the first floor.

On the murals, the bloody battle continued.

Ferocious beasts and outsider races rushed into the battlefield like moths to a flame.

Corpses covered the wasteland, and limbs piled up into numerous small hills.

Ferocious beasts poured in like a tide, and one could still see the figures of many fiends, much stronger than ordinary ferocious beasts.

Among them, there was a particularly terrifying fiend.

The body resembled a mountain of flesh, seemingly pieced together from countless incomplete bodies, effortlessly tearing through the outsider defenses.

Even from the mural, one could sense the despairing aura.

Yu Ren’er’s face turned somewhat pale.

Although she had heard of the turmoil in the Barbarian Realm, she didn’t expect it to be this gruesome!

And it seemed, from appearances, that the outsiders were still at a disadvantage. “What exactly happened back then? Why did ferocious beasts invade the Barbarian Realm on such a large scale?”

Yu Ren’er was a bit puzzled.

But from the current situation, the final victors should still be the outsiders. Most ferocious beasts could only exist within the Death Ground of Black Absolute.

“So, who exactly built this Demon-Locking Tower?”

“Is it only to lock records of a certain history?” Thinking of the group of mysterious beasts in the dense forest, they seemed to be contemplating stealing the Demon-Locking Tower’s secrets.

The tower seemed both wary and alluring; something didn’t quite add up.

At this moment, the illumination on the wall flickered.

Su Shi looked up to see the mural once again radiating light, depicting a scene similar to the first floor.

“Using the same trick.” Su Shi’s palm emitted a flash of light, and a black longsword materialized in his hand out of thin air. He cautioned, “Ren’er, be careful. I suspect the strength of the ferocious beasts on this level will be greater.”

“Yes.”

Yu Ren’er nodded, her expression solemn and cautious.

The air twisted once again.

A white mist spread, and the air was filled with a dense demonic aura.

Within the mist, numerous ferocious beasts could be vaguely seen. Their presence was much stronger than on the first floor, with Golden Core realm beasts scattered around, and even a number at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

“Cut!”

Before they could make a move, Su Shi acted first, executing the Zhantian Sword Art without hesitation.

The radiant silver light resembled a river of stars, instantly tearing through the heavy mist!

At the same time, countless demons were sliced into pieces!

For Su Shi, ferocious beasts of this level, no matter how numerous, posed no threat. At most, it would consume a bit more spiritual energy.

###

Kodo City, Beast Arena.

Bai Zhi’s face was gloomy as he looked at the empty spectator seats. The matches had ended, and the audience had already left. With his strength and the deliberately chosen lower-level ferocious beasts, battling them was practically effortless.

However, there was no trace of victorious delight on his face. Due to the losses from the previous battle, hardly anyone had placed bets on this supplementary match, resulting in a loss of numerous ferocious beasts. It could be said that they came out empty-handed.

A sense of frustration welled up in Bai Zhi’s heart.

Stifled.

Too stifled!

At this moment, an elder of the Eagle Clan hurriedly approached. “Young Master, it’s confirmed. The Dog Clan youth has gone into the Death Ground of Black Absolute.”

“Death Ground of Black Absolute?”

Bai Zhi furrowed his brows, “Are you certain?”

The elder of the Eagle Clan nodded, “According to your orders, after the Dog Clan youth left Kodo City, we discreetly followed him. His trail indeed disappeared in the Death Ground of Black Absolute.”

Bai Zhi’s brows furrowed even deeper.

The Death Ground of Black Absolute was one of the most dangerous places in the entire Barbarian Realm. It was filled with demonic energy, abundant with ferocious beasts, and it was said to harbor fearsome legendary beasts.

For a mere Foundation Establishment stage member of the Dog Clan, going there would be tantamount to courting death. “What is he doing there?”

Bai Zhi felt that there was a secret about the Dog Clan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have extended Su Shi’s assistance.

The elder of the Eagle Clan cautioned in a low voice, “Young Master, the relationship between the Dog Clan youth and Shengzi Su is not ordinary. If we take action against him, it might attract the displeasure of Shengzi Su.”

The shadow of a famous person.

That Su Shi wasn’t an easy character to deal with!

Bai Zhi gritted his teeth, “So what should we do? We need to give our clan an explanation for this, right?”

Having spent so many spirit stones and tarnished the reputation of the gate, the clan would surely investigate this thoroughly.

Bai Zhi needed to find a scapegoat.

Since he dared not offend Su Shi, that left only the Dog Clan youth. However, Bai Zhi didn’t seek revenge; he just wanted to make sure that Wang Que and he, in their respective clans, clarified the situation. As for how to handle it, that was the clan’s business.

But he didn’t expect Wang Que to go to the forbidden area, the Death Ground of Black Absolute. “It seems we must uncover the Dog Clan youth’s secrets. Bai Zhi thought for a moment and said, “Immediately send someone to seal off the perimeter of the Death Ground of Black Absolute. I refuse to believe the Dog Clan youth won’t come out!”

“Yes!”

The elder of the Eagle Clan responded and left the room. Bai Zhi toyed with a teacup in his hand, his gaze flickering.

“What kind of secret does the Dog Clan youth hide that even Su Shi couldn’t resist taking action?”
