The battle between the Monster King and those Primitive Demon Shapeshifters continued, growing more intense. Energy waves from the collision destroyed countless buildings and houses in the city. Although the demon shapeshifters could transform their appearance and amplify their energy levels up to eightfold, they couldn't replicate the skills of the bodies' original owners. This left the king at no significant disadvantage, even against their overwhelming numbers.

"Your Majesty, we've come to help you!"

"Help our King! Protect our home!"

"None of the martial masters here are afraid of damn demons like you!"

The shouts of great, skilled martial masters from small and large clans echoed from below and around the king. Many of them soared into the air, rallying beside the Monster King with expressions of anger and determination.

"This battle is too dangerous for you to fight. They all possess energy at the initial Divine King stage, with some reaching the intermediate level. Most of you are at the peak of the Divine Emperor stage, with only a few at the initial Divine King stage. Joining this fight would be futile. You should…"

"Even if we can't defeat them, we won't let you fight alone. At the very least, we can delay them for you, sir!" said an elder with a Primitive Aqua Clan symbol on his robe. He was the former leader of the clan, and his energy level had already reached the initial Divine King stage.

"That's right, Your Majesty. Even if we aren't strong, we won't allow them to insult us, the Monster Tribe. We, the Monster Deity Fire Clan, will join you in this fight, sir!" a red-bearded elder interjected. He was the former leader of the Monster Deity Fire Clan and another skilled martial master at the Divine King stage.

"We, the Savage Tortoise Clan, would like to join this battle, sir!"

"The Onyx-Scaled Dragon Clan as well, sir!"

"The Cloud Kirin Clan too, sir!"

"And the White Jade Clan, sir!"

All the major clans in the capital stood united. Despite previous discord among the clans, when their homeland was at stake, none would allow their enemies to claim victory. They knew that if they didn't fight now, survival would be impossible in the future.

"If that's the case, then so be it! If you intend to fight, then fight with everything you have. Fight the fiercest, craziest, most violent, and most ferocious battle of your lives! These vile bastards have turned our livable home into a sea of fire and killed those we love. Kill them!!!"

The king's words, though not eloquent, roused every martial master to their core. Their blood boiled as energy waves surged to their limits.

Wooooooosh!!!

"Kill them!!!"

"Kill them all!!!"

The martial masters, once elegant and composed, transformed into ferocious monster beasts. Yet, their resolve remained unwavering. Some grew larger, abandoning their human forms for the true forms of their clan's monster bloodlines.

"Give them despair!"

An old man's voice suddenly rang from afar, sending the Primitive Demon Shapeshifters into a frenzy. Their bodies emitted massive waves of demonic energy, making the entire city feel bleak and oppressive.

Woooooooosh!!!

Boooooooooom!!!

"Old ancient demon, how dare you send these bastards to invade my kingdom!" At that moment, another old man's voice echoed from deep within the royal palace. Two figures emerged above the palace—they were the Monster Kingdom's previous king and queen.

"Father! Mother!" King Duan-Jian turned toward the figures, his face lighting up with joy.

Huh!!!

"Dare or not, you can see for yourself! Judging by the destruction here, I'd say the answer is obvious. Why waste time asking? But the fun isn't over yet—I still have plenty more!" The former Demon Emperor's voice echoed in response without revealing his location. His tone showed no sign of fear or apprehension; on the contrary, it was filled with joy and happiness.

Wooooooosh!!!

Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!!

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Three to four hundred more mysterious objects, identical to those that had landed earlier, fell into the city. Each contained a Primitive Demon Shapeshifter, meaning countless more foes wielding eights-tenth of the real Demon Emperor energy were about to emerge—a true calamity.

"Hurry! Destroy those spherical objects before they can come out!" King Duan-Jian of the Monster Tribe wasted no time and immediately commanded all the skilled masters to join forces in destroying the spherical objects before the shapeshifting demons could emerge from within them.

"Yes, sir!!!"

"Oh!!!"

For martial masters at the advanced Divine Emperor stage, fighting demon shapeshifters was challenging. However, destroying energy-less spherical objects was far easier. Without delay, they rushed toward the nearest objects.

"Kill… kill… kill them! Kill… them… all!"

Naturally, the demon shapeshifters who had already emerged rushed to intercept the martial masters attempting to destroy the remaining spheres.

"Don't dare to be arrogant before me, the king of this kingdom!"

[Earth-Splitting Kirin Sword Skill]

Roaaaar!!!

A kirin's roar echoed as King Duan-Jian unleashed the Earth-Splitting Kirin Sword, a Legendary skill that consumed an immense amount of energy. However, its devastating power justified the energy loss.

Wooooooosh!!!

Boooooooooom!!!

With a single slash of the Legendary skill, King Duan-Jian obliterated thirty Primitive Demon Shapeshifters, reducing their bodies to blood mist. The nearby shapeshifters were also severely injured. This shift in the tide of battle gave the Monster Tribe martial masters a significant advantage. Now, fewer than fifty demon shapeshifters remained, while the Monster Tribe had over a thousand masters still standing.

"Don't waste the opportunity our king has given us! Hurry and destroy them!" one of the martial masters shouted in a commanding tone, filled with bloodlust.

"Kill them all!"

"For our Monster Kingdom!"

"For our children!"

Yaaaa!!!

Back to the testing tower...

The testing period was nearing its conclusion, with only half a day remaining. Five more participants had managed to reach the sixth floor of the tower. Among them were three young women from the Primordial Winter Mountain Peak Sect and two young men—one from the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven and the other from the Deity Weapon Sect. Meanwhile, those who had reached earlier floors were still struggling to ascend to the sixth floor.

Those already on the sixth floor were desperately trying to advance to the seventh, but their efforts were in vain. Not a single participant succeeded in ascending. Even the Demon Emperor, who had been confident he would reach the seventh floor after mastering Heaven Energy on the sixth floor, was unable to fulfill his goal.

"What the hell is this? I've tried so hard and still can't even get halfway up the stairs! How am I supposed to pass this test?" cursed the young man from the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven. He and the others had been stuck on the sixth floor for more than four days. If they couldn't move higher, did it mean they had failed the test? How could they accept this?

"I think something strange is going on. No matter how hard we try, we can't climb more than half a flight of stairs. Every time I try, I'm pushed back. It feels as though there's an invisible barrier stopping us from going beyond this floor," said another young man standing beside him.

"So, what should we do, Senior? Do we give up?" asked another young man, who had the lowest energy level in their group.

"It's not certain that we've failed. On the contrary, I believe all of us who reached this floor have already passed the test. Considering how impossible it is to go beyond the seventh floor, it's likely that the real challenge was just getting here. So, I think we've already succeeded."

The young man's speculation, grounded in logic, brought a sudden shift in mood. Gloomy faces turned hopeful as smiles spread among the participants who overheard his reasoning.

"What does Senior Sister Chief think about the young man from the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven's claim? Do you think we've passed the test? Was the elder's statement about needing to reach the seventh floor just a ploy to scare us?" asked a talkative, white-robed young woman, directing her question to her senior sister.

"I can't say if it's true or not until the test is over. We must simply do our best," the Senior Sister Chief replied calmly. Despite her composed demeanor, uncertainty lingered in her voice.

"Whether it's true or not, I still hope it is. If we've passed, then we won't have disappointed our masters!" said the young woman, her innocent eyes shining with hope as she gazed at her Senior Sister Chief.

"It's not just you who hopes—it's all of us!" added another senior disciple, offering a reassuring smile to encourage the junior disciple.
