Chapter 474: Reaching the Dark Tower
Chapter 474: Reaching the Dark Tower
“Thanks for the summary. It filled some gaps I had about the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield. If that is everything, we should get going. I am not fond of losing time.”
Zatiel was tired of not enhancing his cultivation and wanted nothing more than to enter the battlefield and began to engrave laws that stood higher than those of the Prima Universe.
“Teacher, before you enter the Dark Tower, I advise you to hide your identity and modify the cultivation level you show to others. Also, I must warn you that the two other main factions of the alliance are not very fond of bloodline users.”
Due to the corrupted Archangel’s fate, it was very odd to see anyone beneath Peak Rank 5 in the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
John Erick’s suggestion aimed to diminish the level of scrutiny the duo would receive and avoid answering people why he let life forms at the 1st Engraving Stage travel to the Dark Tower.
The Neo-Demons glanced at each other and nodded before changing their appearance, life aura, soul aura, and soul force. Neither of them cared about fame, so it did not matter if their feats against the Eldritch Race remained in the dark.
Zatiel’s eyes lost their marvelous light and resembled those of a blind man. His face lost its handsomeness and became rather average, and thick flaming darkness covered his mighty wings.
Ezequiel also changed his appearance into an ordinary man, with his white hair turning red.
The changes in the duo were merely aesthetic. A shift in their physical structure would hinder their battle power, so their mighty bodies with perfectly balanced musculature remained the same.
Of course, physical appearance was the less important factor to recognize an individuals’ identity. Powerful life forms could adopt whatever shape they wanted.
Both Neo-Demons knew that very well, so once they finished with the outer aspect, they began to change their soul aura, soul force, and life aura.
Zatiel’s dominion over the soul was superb, and he already had Life Essence, so hiding the core of his identity was pretty easy.
Ezequiel had granular control over his body at a cellular level, so changing his life aura did not require much effort. Thanks to the Nether Spirit Avatar, his dominion over the soul was very high.
In less than a minute, both had transformed into entirely different people.
The King was surprised by how easy the duo was able to change their identities. He examined them with his consciousness and found nothing wrong.
If John Erick would forcefully penetrate the duo’s magical defenses and pierce into their Inner Law Dimensions, he may find something. Still, anyone who did that would be an enemy, and the Neo-Demons would need no excuse to kill them.
Neither Zatiel nor Ezequiel hid their bloodline force. It would manifest itself whenever they fought, so it would be a waste of time to cover it.
“Both Dean and Gabriel will escort you to the Dark Tower and help you secure living accommodations.”
“There is no need for that. With the Dark Tower’s tattoo information, we will be more than able to handle things on our own.”
“There is no problem for us, Lord Daybreak. We were going to the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield to continue our training either way.” Gabriel spoke respectfully toward the Neo-Demon, and Dean immediately agreed with his brother’s words.
While developing a connection with ancient and powerful entities was dangerous, there were also gains, and the Royal brothers were willing to face any challenge to enhance their destinies.
Seeing the duo’s respectful stance, Zatiel found no reason to deny their help and decided to travel with them.
With everything handled, John Erick said goodbye to Zatiel and Ezequiel before vanishing. The King was ready to enter a long session of secluded training until his Animax Soul Runemaster’s abilities reached Peak Rank 6.
He would then ask for Zatiel’s help to solve his doubts and obtain the final push toward Rank 7. That would be the day he would finally perform his ascension and become equal to the Prima Universe’s laws.
Gabriel waved his hand and teleported the group to a hidden chamber beneath the Scientia Kingdom’s capital with an impressive World Gate.
When Zatiel saw it, he was sure the World Gate was not ordinary and must be at least a Rank 9 Artifact.
‘It made sense. The battlefield is at the Prima Universe’s edge, and the distance is so much that even Law Overlords would find it hard to reach it quickly. A World Gate capable of teleporting us to the Dark Tower is bound to be special.’
Zatiel, Ezequiel, Dean, and Gabriel went through the World Gate, and the next second, they found themselves traveling within a multicolored beam at an incredible speed.
They moved so fast that they could not perceive anything around them. It wasn’t until an hour after the group started their journey that they finally saw a white light ahead of them.
A moment of blindness affected the group after going through the white light, and once they regained their sight, they saw a majestic hall that extended beyond what their eyes could see.
It shined with white light, and rather than a floor, it seemed fitter to call it a plane. There were hundreds of buildings in this place, each more than a thousand kilometers tall. Some housed people, but others resembled stores, and there were even special training grounds.
Countless youths moved through this place. Each of them had a vibrant life force and extremely pure soul force. No one who gained access to the Dark Tower was common. The battle power of each of them surpassed their cultivation level.
According to the Dark Tower’s tattoo, this was the Chrysalid Floor, the one meant for life forms beneath Rank 7.
The Dark Tower had four floors. The first one was the Chrysalid Floor, the second the Undying Floor, the third the Eternal Floor, and the highest one that held Law Overlords was the Endless Floor.
While no rules stopped a group from moving from one floor to the other, higher-ranking life forms disdained to meddle with weak ones, and the weak could not withstand the spiritual pressure of the strong.
Zatiel and Ezequiel noticed how people began to focus on them. However, soon they realized that the subject of their attention was the Crown Prince.
