Level 120, Level 130, Level 140, Level 150... Level 200.

Lu Yu stopped his footsteps. The 200th level of the Tongtian Tower; the demons appearing here already possess the strength of the Qi Sea Realm. From this level onwards, every 30 levels, the strength of demons undergoes a significant change.

The demons on the 200th level are at the first stage of the Qi Sea Realm. To reach the 230th level, the demon's strength will then advance to the second stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

Moreover, starting from here, other creatures suppressed within the Tongtian Tower also appear, not just demons.

On the 200th level, the sky here is azure, and the earth is grassland. The pillar of light is located at the center of a sapphire blue lake.

Lu Yu walked from the edge to the edge of the lake but didn't see any demons or monsters. He stood by the water, gazing at the clear lake, where lush aquatic plants thrived beneath.

There seemed to be something living at the bottom of the lake. Lu Yu could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from below.

"Everyone, be careful. The guard on the 200th level is a fish demon. That fish demon lives in the lake, and you must fly across the lake quickly without pausing."

"Do not attempt to fight the fish demon in the water. This is its home ground; we can't defeat it, and we don't need to kill the fish demon. Just passing through is enough."

Lu Yu heard voices coming from afar, and he lightly raised an eyebrow. So that's why he hadn't seen any monsters; turns out, the 200th layer only has a fish demon.

He looked down to scan the lake bottom, activating his Fiery Demon Eyes. He saw the distribution of spiritual energy and noticed a bright blue mass of light staying at the lake bottom.

"Is it just a single fish monster?" Lu Yu scanned the visible area and found only one light mass representing a monster.

Without hesitation, he plunged into the water, his spiritual power pushing the lake water aside, forming a circular waterless space. He flew toward the location of the fish monster.

"What's that sound?"

"Someone entered the lake. Should we go check?"

"Ignore it; quickly pass through here while someone is holding up the fish demon. We can smoothly get through," said the team captain who had previously reminded everyone.

"But, didn't you say no one could beat the fish demon? Isn't that person in danger? We, as Disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, should help each other," a timid female disciple said.

Several males in the group seemed to harbor intentions toward the female disciple. Upon hearing her words, they immediately expressed support and praised her kindness and beauty.

The senior brother leading the team was also helpless. Since everyone wanted to "rescue" the person, he couldn't just leave.

"Alright! Let's go take a look and act according to our ability," the senior brother agreed to everyone's request and continued, "Besides, within the Tongtian Tower, Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples are not so easy to kill. If you encounter danger, you can choose to teleport out anytime to avoid it."

The group went to the place where the splash sound occurred but saw no movement.

"Even if a battle happened underwater, there should be some commotion, right? The water's surface is so calm; could it be that fellow disciple from the Divine Weapon Pavilion was instantly killed by the fish demon?" someone speculated.

Blub blub~ A large number of bubbles rose to the surface, and crimson blood accompanied by bubbles gushed onto the surface, spreading across the water.

Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, a giant fish monster's corpse floated up from the bottom...

Lu Yu walked into the teleportation light pillar of the central island in the lake, glanced at the hundreds of thousands of experience points gained from killing the fish monster, and thought to himself, the next level would be better with demons and in greater numbers.

The number of monsters was too few to meet his purpose of farming experience massively.

Stepping into the pillar of light, Lu Yu disappeared from the 200th layer, entering the 210th layer.

Just as he entered the 210th layer, Lu Yu was attacked; a demon covered in spikes was lurking underground and launched an attack the moment Lu Yu appeared.

All its spikes shot out rapidly, penetrating the Celestial Qi defense of Qi Sea Realm Martial Cultivators and landing on Lu Yu.

The spikes pierced Lu Yu's disciple robes but failed to break his skin. Each spike wriggled continuously, like little black worms, attempting to burrow into Lu Yu's body.

Feeling something incessantly trying to dig into his skin, Lu Yu felt a chill in his heart. He stirred his spiritual power, and golden flames started burning on his skin's surface.

The spike worms burned into ashes in the flames. Lu Yu kicked out, infusing a vast amount of Celestial Falling Bright Flame into the ground.

Bang~ The ground exploded, golden sparks flying, and a spiked demon wailed in agony as it crawled out from underground.

It had no arms or legs, only a torso and head similar to a human, covered entirely with varying lengths and thicknesses of black spikes, which it used to move and attack on the ground.

Now, it had already shot out most of its spikes and had most of its smaller spikes burned away by the Celestial Falling Bright Flame, with only a few leg-like parts left, constantly moving on the ground, trying to get away from Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed, and the power of the Fiery Demon Eyes in his right eye flickered. The spiked demon's body suddenly froze, and a scorching power exploded from within, blowing it apart.

Countless fragments scattered, the ground smeared with the demon's sticky fluids.

Lu Yu looked at the fragmented demon, slightly furrowing his brow. Blown apart from the inside by the Celestial Falling Bright Flame, it still retained vitality. Demons of the Qi Sea Realm were far more robust than those of the Qi Gathering Realm.

If no other action were taken, it wouldn't take long for these chunks to re-fuse, reviving the spiked demon.

Whoosh~ Flames burned, the wriggling flesh turning to charcoal, and then to powder, dispersing into the air.

The thick black clouds in the sky seemed even heavier.

Lu Yu advanced toward the teleportation pillar. This time, he flew relatively slowly, deliberately giving the demons time to follow him.

The number of demons on the 210th level was far fewer than those below the 200th level; the whole level might only have a few hundred demons.

But this density was somewhat intimidating; if the fight made too much commotion, it could potentially stir up all the demons in the level. After all, demons of the Qi Sea Realm had significantly enhanced perception.

Dozens of demons chased Lu Yu, each having a different form and unique abilities.

Buzz~ While flying, Lu Yu heard a ringing in his ears. The world in his eyes shattered, turning into a poor-quality animated world, full of palpable flaws everywhere.

Spiritual power transformed into spikes shooting out, "Roar~" a voice intertwined with pain rang out, breaking the illusion in Lu Yu's eyes. He saw a demon with six heads.

This demon had just pulled Lu Yu into an illusion, but unfortunately, Lu Yu's soul strength was high, and his spiritual power was sharp; the illusion it created was flaw-filled in Lu Yu's eyes.

Even its location was easily seen through by Lu Yu.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Lu Yu continuously used Shocking God Stab to attack the six-headed demon, its six heads exploding one after another under Lu Yu's attack, body falling to the ground.

The six-headed demon's body lay on the ground, its wounds wriggling, trying to reconstruct its heads but failing.

Lu Yu flew over the six-headed demon's body, stopped, took out the Demon-Breaking Saber, and turned to face the numerous demons chasing him, channeling power accumulated over several days into the Demon-Breaking Saber, which gleamed faintly.

"One-hit-kill Asura Slash!"

A bright line cut through all the demons' bodies, and Lu Yu passed through the demon horde, reappearing behind them.

Including the six-headed demon on the ground trying to regrow its heads, at that moment, all the demons were frozen in place, followed by a slight popping sound.

The popping sound grew louder, and only when it grew did it become apparent that it wasn't popping but rather fine cutting sounds.

Countless minute blade auras constantly sliced within the demons, obliterating their vitality and extinguishing the demonic energy inside them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~ Blade auras burst out from the demons' bodies, and they fell lifelessly to the ground, the sky filled with murderous blade auras.

Swoosh~ The Demon-Breaking Saber returned to its sheath, packed away into his bag.

Lu Yu turned and headed towards the light pillar leading to the 220th level. After entering the 220th level, Lu Yu exited the Tongtian Tower.

Looking towards the bustling market, Lu Yu scratched the back of his head, finding things rather tricky. The demon strength beyond the 200th level increased significantly, becoming tougher to kill.

Without going all out, Lu Yu could only kill one by one, consuming time and effort, so he exited the Tongtian Tower.

Moreover, before fighting the Asura Ghosts, Lu Yu still needed to conserve energy and accumulate power, otherwise, having no trump card to rely on would be disastrous.
