Chapter 801 – Quick Breakthroughs

"Here is your reward for clearing the second stage."

The golden orb of light returned, and Yuan quickly absorbed the spiritual energy from it.

His cultivation immediately had a breakthrough, reaching the Seventh Level Spirit Lord from the Fourth Level Spirit Lord.

’I’m already at the Seventh Level of Spirit Lord after passing two floors, and there are still 7 more floors to go... This place is extremely good for raising one’s cultivation base very quickly.’ Yuan wondered what his cultivation level would be at the end of all this.

Sometime later, Yuan climbed to the third floor.

"Welcome to the third floor. You have one hour to defeat the demons." The Divine Paragon’s voice resounded.

"Wait... Demons?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Suddenly, two figures appeared before him. Of course, they were demons, and they were both Demon Generals with a cultivation of Spirit Lord.

"Heavens... I have to fight two of them at once now?" Yuan swallowed nervously.

"When you’re prepared to start the challenge, say ’Ready’ out loud." The Divine Paragon’s voice resounded again.

Yuan didn’t immediately start the challenge and took a moment to mentally prepare himself.

This will be his first time fighting two demons at once by himself.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke, "Ready!"

The very next moment, the two Demon Generals rushed at Yuan, attacking him from two different directions.

[Ten Thousand Ghost Blades!]

Yuan summoned one thousand copies of his Starry Abyss and used those to deal with one of the demons while he personally fought the other demon with the Empyrean Overlord.

One would expect Yuan to dominate these demons because of his increased cultivation, but the pagoda increased the strength of the demon to match his strength, so it was just as difficult.

Fortunately, Yuan had learned how to infuse his demon sealing aura with his ordinary techniques, allowing him to fight the demons with more ease.

Even though the demons match his strength, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re equal, as one’s technique and treasures can easily affect the balance.

Of course, the Demon Sealing Pagoda also took into account his treasures and techniques, but there is only so much it can gauge, and when it comes to an unfathomable genius like Yuan, not even it could fully measure his full potential.

[Demon Sealing Sword Strike!]

Yuan swung the Empyrean Overlord at the demon, but it easily blocked it with its weapon made out of blood.

After blocking the attack, the demon tossed the weapon away since it would be sealed by the demon sealing aura.

As for the other demon, it was slowly getting sealed by the Starry Abyss.

Although each of the Starry Abyss lacked the demon sealing aura to seal a demon with one strike, they could easily strike the demon multiple times before it could even react, slowly sealing it.

After thirty minutes of fighting back and forth, Yuan eventually managed to seal one of the demons.

"A mere human! How dare you!"

The demon roared, and its body began burning red, almost as though its blood had turned to lava. Its body also grew larger, but not by much.

BOOM!

The demon suddenly disappeared from its position, appearing in front of Yuan before throwing a powerful punch at him.

This time, Yuan was unable to react fast enough, and he was hit square in the chest by the demon.

Whoosh!

Yuan’s body flew backward like a broken ragdoll, landing many meters away.

’Shit... Even with all of my defenses, it still hurts like hell!’ He cried inwardly as he quickly stood back up.

If it weren’t for the Invisible Dragon Cloak that doubled his defense stats, his body would’ve probably exploded into a bloody mess.

Furthermore, even though the demon was only a Spirit Lord, it’d managed to penetrate the Invisible Dragon Cloak’s defense that blocks all damage from those below Spirit King. Though, this is most likely because the Demon General’s true strength far surpasses a Spirit King, allowing it to bypass the armor’s effects.

"I am impressed that you survived, human. What is your body made out of? Treasures?" The Demon General slowly approached him with a malicious grin on its face.

After standing back up, Yuan spat out some blood, but his expression remained unfazed.

[Ten Thousand Ghost Blades!]

Yuan activated his most powerful technique again, sending 1,000 Starry Abyss at the Demon General.

However, the Demon General merely stood there and allowed the daggers to hit its body.

’What?!’ Yuan exclaimed inwardly when the daggers shattered on impact while the Demon General appeared to be completely fine.

The Demon General, without even looking at its body, smiled and said, "You’ll need to do better than that if you want to penetrate my defense."

Yuan frowned as he could feel a sense of dread from this Demon General that was clearly stronger than the other Demon General.

"Come, entertain me some more, human!"

The Demon General continued to approach Yuan.

Seeing this, Yuan commanded the rest of the Starry Abyss to attack the Demon General even if it might seem pointless.

"It’s useless! Hahaha!" The Demon General roared with laughter.

Yuan tried to focus all of the Starry Abyss on a single location, hoping that he’d slowly break through the Demon General’s defense, but it was useless.

The Demon General suddenly leaped forward and swung its blood weapon, clashing with Yuan’s Empyrean Overlord.

"Give up! You’re just a mere human! Humans are born to serve demons! There is no way humans can ever defeat demons!" The Demon General provoked Yuan as they swung their weapons at each other, causing the surrounding space to shake with every swing.

"If that was true, you demons wouldn’t be facing extinction right now!" Yuan clapped back at the demon, leaving it speechless for a moment.
