God of Pets Chapter 985: Assault on the Tower of the Sky
Previously on God of Pets...
Day by day passed, the day of the Sky Secret Spirit's arrival was close, yet Chen Guan had still not returned.
The Spirit Devouring God used Spiritual Sense to search the Celestial Secret Realm but could not find any trace of Chen Guan. He could only trace them to the Exhaustion Area, and then there was no more information.
"Could they have entered the Exhaustion Area?" The Spirit Devouring God frowned slightly but did not overly worry.
Originally, the Spirit Devouring God thought only Chen Guan was indispensable, especially for the final Tower of the Sky, which had to be attacked by the strongest human.
However, for more than two years, the Spirit Devouring God had been observing the cultivation situation of those humans brought by Chen Guan.
Unexpectedly, the Spirit Devouring God found that aside from the Emperor Ancestor, the talents and achievements of those ten Celestial Kings were already considered the pinnacle for human cultivators.
But with the Spirit Devouring God's observation, he discovered something unbelievable.
Among the young humans found by Chen Guan, some of their abilities even showed a trend of surpassing the Celestial Kings.
They all possessed some special abilities that were not akin to normal Secret Techniques, Secret Skills, Secret Laws, etc., even hinting at transcending the world's rules in a way that the Spirit Devouring God couldn't fully understand.
With the increase in level, the growth and achievements of these humans with special abilities, in the perception of the Spirit Devouring God, surpassed those of the Celestial Kings.
What made the Spirit Devouring God feel more incredible was that these humans' special abilities could actually be stacked together.
When they combined their special abilities, the combat power that burst forth surpassed the Spirit Devouring God's expectations.
Even the Emperor Ancestor of the past probably couldn't have achieved such feats.
Seeing their growth, the Spirit Devouring God felt that even without Chen Guan, they should be able to break through Sky City.
Even if Chen Guan were to come, he probably wouldn't be a match for these united individuals.
It would be best if Chen Guan could return, but if he couldn't make it back, the plan could still proceed.
Hence, the Spirit Devouring God was no longer fixated on having Chen Guan attack the Tower of the Sky, primarily because he couldn't locate Chen Guan.
It can be confirmed that Chen Guan and Ji Nanhong should have entered the Exhaustion Area, otherwise, they wouldn't have escaped the Spiritual Sense search within the Celestial Secret Realm.
The Spirit Devouring God was somewhat perplexed as to why Chen Guan would risk entering the Exhaustion Area; although humans have immunity to exhaustion energy, directly entering the Exhaustion Area is not as simple as filtering exhaustion energy.
Time quickly passed, and the day of the Sky Secret Spirit's arrival came; all residents of Sky City gathered at the various squares of Sky City.
However, this time, the Spirit Devouring God did not open the passage to the Earth Secret Realm as before.
"Dear residents of Sky City, for this temporary day of the Sky Secret Spirit, we do not need to go to the Earth Secret Realm, but I need your help to suppress Sky City together." The Spirit Devouring God stood on the Sky Garden atop Sky City, his voice reverberating throughout all the cities of Sky City, entering the mind of every Secret Spirit, as if speaking directly in their brains.
He narrated the true origin and purpose of Sky City, and inexplicable powers also intruded into the souls of those Sky Secret Spirits.
When the Spirit Devouring God finally requested them to help suppress Sky City, every Sky Secret Spirit agreed without hesitation; not a single Secret Spirit opposed, and all Sky Secret Spirits cooperated very well.
Finally, the plan to destroy Sky City commenced.
"Dear human heroes, I shall pierce through time and space, obscuring the imprint of Sky City. After that, you must act according to plan. When Sky City is suppressed, it will be the time for the Tower of the Sky to reveal itself. You must act immediately, never delay, and ensure to destroy the six Sky Towers before the Emperor Ancestor and others can no longer sustain it..." As the Spirit Devouring God spoke, he ascended into the starry sky.
As his body ascended, countless flowers bloomed beneath him, and light began to burn upon him.
His light illuminated the entire world, but it was not dazzling nor uncomfortable; instead, it made people feel as though filled with power under its illumination.
The sick were healed, the injured pain-free, the old and weak rejuvenated, all humans and Secret Spirits seemed to return to their peak state.
Countless petals bloomed in the void, disappearing into different times and spaces, and finally, the figure of the Spirit Devouring God completely vanished, leaving only drifting petals in the void.
Almost the instant the Spirit Devouring God dissipated, all humans and Secret Spirits felt as though something was different about this world.
Yet it was unclear where the difference lay; it seemed this world appeared clearer and teeming with vigorous life.
"Quickly suppress Sky City; the future depends on you." The last voice of the Spirit Devouring God echoed in the minds of all Sky Secret Spirits.
All residents of Sky City raised their hands, terrifying energy burst forth, guided into the grand formation that the Spirit Devouring God had long prepared.
A dawn appeared in the dark area where Sky City was located.
The white light, like the ring of a solar eclipse, enveloped Sky City, a white circle outside the black circle of light.
At this moment, humans in the Sky Garden used their bodies to intercept the energy flowing through the garden, preventing any energy from entering Sky City.
Until this moment, Sky City truly underwent a terrifying transformation.
The entire Sky City shook violently as if a great beast awakening from its slumber.
Aside from the Tower of the Sky under the Sky Garden, towers rose in the five directions of Sky City, expanding, piercing through the grand Sky City.
"This is the time, according to the previous agreement, group one follows me to the Tower of the Sky." King of Qin led Qin Ziyu, Qin Qiu, and others toward the existing Tower of the Sky beneath the Sky Garden.
Accompanying them were King Ji and King Feng; the Tower of the Sky was the most critical and challenging one.
Ji Liuying, Duan Shulin, Duan Hualong, and other young talents also went there.
King of Chu was responsible for taking people to the Tower of Life; King of Zhang to the Tower of Destiny; King of Jiang to the Tower of Nothingness; King of Shang to the Tower of Truth; King of Xia to the Tower of Death.
The crowd split into six groups, and with Chen Guan still not returning, Qinghua reluctantly followed to the Tower of Nothingness.
The others arranged by Chen Guan also headed to their designated places.
Bai Xiuyan didn't follow the crowd to the Tower of the Sky but followed the Chu Family to the Tower of Life, as Chen Guan had previously agreed with him.
The towering pillars of the Sky Tower, like cosmic pillars, emitted ancient law ripples, with each brick and tile seemingly imprinted with the mark of ancient life.
Bai Xiuyan squinted at the blood-red ancient tower; the red seemed woven by life itself.
Whether viewed horizontally or vertically, the towering ancient tower seemed written entirely in the words "Blood."
