Each layer within the Four Saint Tower contained the inheritance of a Saint-Grade Heaven Sovereign. However, for Lu Bai, there were only two choices.
The Sky Tower Ancestor and the Spear Ancestor.
There was no need to mention the remaining Buddha Ancestor and Tai Ling Ancestor. The former inheritance was only suitable for members of the Buddha Ancient Clan itself, while the latter was a hopeless admirer of love. With Luo Li, who had already inherited the Luo God inheritance, it would be extremely difficult for anyone else to awaken him.
As for the remaining two layers, Qin Bubai chose the Sky Tower Ancestor layer. In the original story, it was never breached, which meant that Qin Bubai at least managed to hold off the many feind race experts on that layer.
The only layer that was breached was the Spear Ancestor layer. Even Bai Zhu had his head severed there, so Lu Bai did not hesitate in choosing this layer.
For him, although the inheritance of a Saint-Grade Heaven Sovereign was important, what he truly wanted was to slay a Demon Emperor.
Such a seemingly impossible task could only be achieved, just like in the original story with Mu Chen, by borrowing the power of the ancestor wills to eliminate the sealed Demon Emperor.
In that case, the breached Spear Ancestor layer was clearly the best choice.
However, the others were unaware of this. In particular, the High Level Demon Slayer Bai Zhu only regarded Lu Bai as his greatest competitor and did not think of him as a savior.
Bai Zhu, with a solemn expression, swept his gaze across everyone in the field.
In his eyes, whether it was Mo Xin or Xuan Luo, they were all formidable opponents.
Moreover, those people were accompanied by many Buddha Ancient Clan or Three Saint Sect experts, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Only Lu Bai, who also held the identity of a High Level Demon Slayer but only brought two assistants, seemed to pose the least threat. After weighing everything, he still made the same choice as in the original plot.
"I choose the Spear Ancestor."
As soon as these words fell, all eyes turned toward him and Lu Bai.
Two top experts choosing the same layer meant that the Spear Ancestor inheritance would undoubtedly face an intense struggle.
Of course, this was not without benefit.
With two High Level Demon Slayers present, they would have a greater chance of dealing with the Feind Race forces later.
"I will go to the Tai Ling Ancestor layer then," the enchanting woman beside Xuan Luo, Bai Xin'er, said with a charming smile.
With their choices made, the other teams also began selecting their respective layers.
"Qing Xuan, Long Xiang, you both follow Luo Li to the Tai Ling Ancestor layer," Mu Chen said, turning to Wen Qingxuan and Long Xiang.
Although Luo Li had told him she had her own plans, Mu Chen was still somewhat worried in the end.
"Young Master, what about you here…" Long Xiang, with his sturdy build, looked at Mu Chen with concern, hesitating to speak.
Although the Tai Ling Heavenly Light was very important to Luo Li, if Mu Chen could obtain the Buddha Ancestor's Eight Buddha inheritance, it would also be of great significance to him.
Especially under the current circumstances, it could determine whether Mu Chen could return to the Buddha Ancient Clan in the future.
"Relax, you have all seen my methods," Mu Chen said with a relaxed expression.
He was referring to what had happened in the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Immortal inheritance. At that time, Mu Chen had not only been able to fight against experts like Wu Tong at the peak of the Lesser Earth Sovereign level, but had even forced back the prince of the Corpse Demon Clan.
Although this relied on the battle intent of the Black Dragon Army, it was still a power Mu Chen had mastered.
"Be careful then," Luo Li said without further hesitation, her bright eyes filled with deep concern as she looked at Mu Chen.
Their choices did not attract much attention compared to Lu Bai and the others.
After all, a Greater Earth Sovereign and a Lesser Earth Sovereign were simply not qualified to participate in the upcoming struggle.
Only a few members of the Buddha Ancient Clan cast cold sneers toward Mu Chen, as if looking at a dead man. Meanwhile, Bai Xin'er beside Xuan Luo glanced meaningfully at Luo Li before flying toward the ancient tower gate.
Soon, everyone began moving toward their chosen tower layers.
Lu Bai was not in a hurry. After most had entered, he led Chu Xiong and She Ming into the tower.
The moment he entered the Four Saint Tower, Lu Bai felt spatial fluctuations surge around him. In the next instant, he was transported to a new world, where the scenery changed drastically.
He appeared above a pitch black ocean. Beneath him stretched endless black seawater, filling one with an instinctive sense of dread.
Whoosh.
Lu Bai shot upward instantly, not forgetting to send out a burst of spiritual energy to pull Chu Xiong and She Ming up as well.
"Damn, this place is too eerie!"
After stabilizing himself, Chu Xiong looked at the black seawater below with lingering fear.
Just moments ago, if Lu Bai had not pulled him up in time, he would have been swallowed by that strange seawater.
One must know that as a half step Greater Perfection Earth Sovereign, flying was almost instinctive for him, yet it had completely failed just now. It even made him feel as if he were being dragged into the eighteen layers of hell.
"There is something strange about this place. Do not get within a hundred meters of the water surface," She Ming warned with lingering fear.
Lu Bai frowned. His gaze was quickly drawn toward an island at the center of the sea in the distance.
The island resembled an open palm. Five mountain peaks rose like fingers, and in the center of the palm, a black altar could be vaguely seen.
Lu Bai could faintly sense a vast and oppressive fluctuation coming from the island.
Within that vast fluctuation was also a cold and sinister aura. That coldness seemed to hide endless evil, and merely sensing it caused a trace of fear to arise in Lu Bai's heart.
"It seems the seal is on that island."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiong and She Ming quickly looked over, their faces filled with joy.
"Haha, looks like our luck is good. We are actually this close to the seal."
By their estimation, the island was less than a thousand miles away. That distance could be crossed in an instant.
However, Lu Bai was not so optimistic. From this distance, he could detect faint spatial fluctuations. Clearly, what they were seeing might not be real.
"Be careful of the seawater below. Let us move."
Whoosh.
Without hesitation, Lu Bai pushed off and turned into afterimages, flying at full speed through the air.
Although traveling in open air like this was not wise, his instincts told him that using spatial travel here would likely bring unpredictable danger. Thus, he chose the most primitive method of movement.
Chu Xiong and She Ming did not understand the reason, but they knew following Lu Bai was their safest option.
Soon, they both realized something was wrong.
In their perception, what should have been a journey that could be crossed in the blink of an eye had already taken half an hour of flight, yet they still had not reached their destination. In fact, they even felt that the distance between them and the island had not changed at all, as if they had been circling in place the entire time.
Only now did the two of them finally realize how unusual this place was, and they immediately became cautious, the impatience in their hearts completely suppressed.
Just as the three figures swept past a certain stretch of identical looking sea surface, Lu Bai suddenly felt a warning in his heart. His entire body came to an abrupt halt.
Bang.
A figure suddenly appeared beneath them, then fell straight into the seawater.
The three of them only had time to hear a miserable scream. In the next instant, the sound came to an abrupt end, and the figure was swallowed by the pitch black waves. Everything returned to silence as if nothing had ever happened.
This scene made Chu Xiong and She Ming's skin crawl.
Although it was only for an instant, they could still sense from the aura that leaked out that this was an expert who was in no way inferior to them.
Yet such a person had been instantly devoured beneath the sea surface.
This made the two of them think of what they had just experienced earlier. If not for Lu Bai's timely intervention, they would likely have ended up the same as that person below.
With that thought, the two of them looked at Lu Bai with gratitude. However, Lu Bai's expression caused both of them to be startled.
"Lu brother, what is wrong?" Chu Xiong asked in confusion as he looked at Lu Bai's solemn expression.
Although the previous scene was dangerous, it should not have made Lu Bai this serious.
Lu Bai shook his head and suddenly let out a light laugh.
"It is nothing. I just did not expect that we would fall into someone else's trap the moment we entered."
"What?"
Chu Xiong and the other were shocked and immediately became alert, scanning their surroundings.
Unfortunately, apart from the distant island, there was nothing but an endless expanse of black ocean. Nothing unusual could be seen at all.
Lu Bai did not explain anything to them. Instead, he raised his head and looked toward the dim yellow sky.
Rumble.
A chaotic divine thunder that spanned the entire sky suddenly exploded across heaven and earth.
Along with the thunder, Chu Xiong and the other suddenly realized that the sky above them had cracked open.
Rumble.
Thunder rumbled continuously. In the next instant, Chu Xiong only felt the world spinning. Very soon, the vast ocean and the island vanished from sight, replaced by a stretch of desolate yellow mountains.
"Oh? To think someone actually broke my Heart Demon Array. It seems I have caught a big fish this time."
A hoarse and sinister voice rang out beside Lu Bai's ear. A pitch black demon shadow suddenly appeared in their field of vision.
In an instant, Chu Xiong had already drawn his massive axe, and together with She Ming who also had his sword in hand, the two of them charged directly toward the demon shadow.
"Die!"
Chu Xiong roared. The giant axe in his hand had already gathered his full power of spiritual energy.
From the moment Lu Bai warned them earlier, the two of them had already begun circulating their spiritual energy, preparing this lethal strike.
They fully believed that with Lu Bai's strength, no matter what kind of trap it was, as long as it had been discovered, it could definitely be broken.
Unfortunately, facing the killing strike of two peak half step Great Perfection Earth Sovereigns, the demon shadow did not move at all. It did not even attempt to dodge. Those pair of black and white eyes still stared fixedly at Lu Bai.
Rumble.
The massive axe blade and surging sword qi directly shattered two mountain peaks into dust. However, the demon shadow remained completely unharmed. More precisely, the combined attack of Chu Xiong and She Ming never even touched it.
Seeing this, Lu Bai immediately understood everything and raised his hand to stop the two who were about to continue.
"Stop. What we are seeing right now is only the opponent's Heart Demon illusion. No matter how strong your attacks are, you cannot harm him."
Chu Xiong and the other had ugly expressions, but they still returned to Lu Bai's side as instructed, remaining vigilant of any possible attacks from their surroundings.
"If I am not mistaken, you are from the Heart Demon Race, correct?"
The Heart Demon Race was one of the thirty two major races of the Feind Demon Clans. It was also this race whose strongest expert, together with the Saint Demon Emperor, had set a trap for the only Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, Qin Tian.
"Oh, it seems your identity is indeed not simple. You must be among the top tier in the Great Thousand World," the demon shadow laughed sinisterly, showing no panic even after being exposed.
"You are very confident."
"Do you think I cannot break your mere Heart Demon?"
Lu Bai's expression remained calm, as if he did not care about the current situation at all.
"Are you trying to stall for time?" the demon shadow laughed again.
"Go ahead. I will not stop you."
"However, next you will watch as one by one, the prey who enter my array become my nourishment, and you will be the last one."
Lu Bai glanced at him indifferently.
"If your Heart Demon Emperor came, perhaps that might be possible. But you are not qualified."
As those final words fell, a multicolored radiance suddenly erupted from Lu Bai's body.
In the brief exchange just now, Lu Bai had already locked onto the Heart Demon seed planted within his mind. Using the power of the Five Elements seal, he directly sealed it.
With that, this so called Heart Demon Array naturally collapsed without resistance.
"How is it possible for you to discover the Heart Demon seed I planted?"
The demon shadow finally lost its earlier confidence and even showed signs of panic.
The Heart Demon Race was an extremely special existence even among the Feind Demon Clans.
They were truly powerful. Even experts of the same level found it extremely difficult to detect their formless and intangible attacks. Once one was hit and the seed was not activated, even Heavenly Sovereigns would be unable to sense its existence hidden deep within.
Just look at Qin Tian and one would understand this point.
