Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 542

[Chapter 542: Seventh Floor]
The first floor of the Tower of Heart.
Fang Xing walked through a long corridor and came to a stone platform.
Rumble!
As if some mechanism had been triggered, the stone platform rose automatically.
On the opposite side, a stone platform also appeared, on which stood a man in black priest robes.
The person was wearing a mask, so his gender and age could not be identified. On the mask was written the word “one”!
“Challenger, you need to defeat me in a five-on-five challenge before you can enter the second level!”
A neutral voice sounded.
A bronze holy book appeared in the hands of the black-robed priest, and streams of light emerged.
“Five general-level heart beasts?!”
Fang Xing was somewhat speechless: “Can’t you let me skip the first few floors of this Heart Tower?”
“No, it’s a rule.”
The black-robed priest replied in a neutral voice: “It has begun.”
Boom!
Only then did Fang Xing realize that the surrounding environment began to change.
From lawns and forests to deserts, oceans, volcanoes, and the sky…
Various environments flashed by one after another, and finally stopped on a swamp.
Gulp gulp!
Bubbles emerged from the swamp water, emitting a strong toxin.
“Spatial transformation? Parallel displacement? That’s more interesting.”
Fang Xing casually released the Wind God Pterodactyl: “It’s decided that it’s you.”
Crash!
The Wind God Pterodactyl roared, and the majesty of a king burst out.
The five general-level heart beasts let out a mournful howl and fell to the ground.
“pass!”
The black-robed priest saluted, and the surrounding environment returned to the Tower of Heart, and the stone platform began to rise slowly.
…
The opponent on the second level was also a general-level controller, who was easily defeated by Fang Xing.
The driver on the third level already has a lord-level heart beast, and his strength should be similar to that of the old city lord of Green Forest City.
The fourth floor is already filled with the lord’s heart beasts.
The fifth floor is full of upper lords’ heart beasts…
But these were all trash and were easily killed by Fang Xing with a Quetzalcoatl.
Rumble.
The stone platform slowly rose and reached the sixth floor.
“Those who can reach the sixth floor are all king-level drivers.”
On the opposite stone platform, a driver in white priest clothing spoke in a neutral voice, also with a hint of royal majesty: “Come out, my natal beast!”
Bang!
An enormous land tortoise emerged.
Its body is extremely huge, and its shell is covered with all kinds of complex and mysterious patterns. Its cultivation should have reached about five thousand years ago.
“Roar!”
The tortoise roared, a rain cloud appeared, and it started to rain from the sky.
Wow!
The surroundings changed without us noticing, and we arrived at a large meadow.
Immediately, the driver took out his golden holy book, and one heart beast after another emerged.
Upper lord level——Rain Arrow Frog!
Upper lord level——Water Mosasaur!
In the rain and fog, the figures of the two senior lords suddenly disappeared, as if they had hidden themselves.
“Rainy Day Team?”
Fang Xing clapped his hands and asked the Quetzalcoatlus to take the initiative to attack.
whoosh!
In the rain, streams of rain turned into arrows and landed on the Pteranodon, leaving shallow wounds.
“You can’t face me with just a beast in your heart.”
The driver, who was wearing a white priest’s robe and had the number “Six” written on his mask, said proudly.
“Well… your rainy day team is pretty good. You use the rain to hide your Heart Beasts and amplify the Rain Arrow Frog’s skills… But that alone can’t cause any damage to my Wind God Pteranodon… So, you also hid a support Heart Beast that specifically amplifies water-type skills.”
“Besides that, the last heart beast is most likely a healing type…”
“With all these factors combined, I can indeed fight against the Quetzalcoatlus. Although I will most likely win in the end, it will be too exhausting.”
Fang Xing took out his own Holy Book of Heart.
“Is it finally coming?”
The sixth-level guardian’s eyes were solemn as he saw a green light light up.
In the rain, a huge green willow tree suddenly appeared!
This heart beast was covered in layer upon layer of green light, and each willow branch was extremely thick and seemed to have undergone a mutation, with hideous barbs.
“Upper King Level—Infernal Whomping Willow!”
The sixth-level guardian exclaimed: “Sure enough, you have a second king-level beast in your hands… Even among the king-level beastmen, you are not a novice.”
This Infernal Whomping Willow was naturally the harvest of Fang Xing’s adventures over the years.
Not only has his cultivation reached 9,000 years ago, but he has also mutated once and possessed a strange blood-sucking recovery ability, which just happens to cooperate with the field of destruction.
Moreover, the control and defense are also good.
Otherwise, he would not look down on a king-level heart beast.
Bang!
Countless branches of the Hellish Whomping Willow twitched, covering the entire mid-air of the grassland, and thousands of branches turned into steel whips.
Bang!
A huge frog-like heart beast was blown away, bleeding profusely in mid-air.
What was strange was that all the blood that flowed out was absorbed by the hideous willow branch.
Then, a green light fell on the Quetzalcoatl.
The tiny scar on the opponent’s wing disappeared in an instant, and he even became a hundred times more energetic.
“Control, bloodsucking, healing… It’s really a good plant-type heart beast.”
Guardian No. 6 sighed, with indescribable envy in his eyes.
If you control a king-level heart beast, you can call yourself a king-level rider.
But their strength varies, and the weak ones are just novices who only possess the fighting power of a king.
The top ones among them can be called “King of Heaven”!
The gap between them is naturally beyond reason.
He also wanted to capture a powerful king-level heart beast, but unfortunately such a monarch was not only extremely powerful, but also often ruled over a huge tribe of heart beasts, so it was not so easy to take him down.
In comparison, it is easier to cultivate a heart beast egg of king quality, but he simply does not have that much money.
“Go! Hydrotherapy!”
The sixth-level guardian gave an order, and a shell-heart beast emerged in the rain, followed by a circle of water falling on the water arrow frog.
Compared to the healing power of the Infernal Willow, the Water Arrow Frog could only barely stop the bleeding. It could be said that this Heart Beast had already lost most of its combat power.
Bang!
The Hell’s Whomping Willow moved, and the willow branches continued to whip.
“hold head high!”
At this time, the huge tortoise roared, and walls of earth rose from the ground like a Great Wall.
“Cri!”
In the sky, the Wind God Pterosaur swooped down, and a large number of green wind blades fell on the sixth-level guardian.
Puff!
Outside, the siege made of soil was easily penetrated by willow branches, and the lord beasts retreated one after another.
Finally, amid the tortoise’s wailing, the Quetzalcoatl had pecked through the protective aura of the sixth guardian.
As the beast of one’s own heart, it let out a mournful wail, exploded into points of light, and regressed back to its original heart form.
“I give up!”
The sixth-level guardian sighed.
“Is it really necessary to go to this extent? Even if your original life form can be re-condensed and cultivated to the king level, it will still be a huge resource.”
Fang Xing was a little confused.
Even if the Heart Temple provides this amount of resources, what about the time wasted on this?
“Only believe in the Lord of the Heart.”
The sixth-level guardian replied calmly.
Boom!
As the stone platform was promoted again, Fang Xing finally arrived at the seventh floor of the Heart Tower.
…
outside world.
Buzz!
The white heart tower suddenly trembled.
“What’s going on?”
“No, look… the seventh floor of the Heart Tower is lit up!”
The charioteers still in the square exclaimed: “It’s the battle of the kings!”
“Among the riders in the Heart Tower, has anyone reached the seventh floor? Is the battle between the Heavenly Kings starting?”
“It’s a grand event. Even if it fails in the end, it will be enough to spread its name to the City of Hearts.”
“Maybe a new king will be born today?”
“Haha, I’m so lucky. The challenge for the seventh floor of the Heart Tower will be made public directly…”
Countless riders swarmed over, and then they saw the huge screen projected by the Heart Tower.
In the picture, a handsome young man is standing under the Whomping Willow. Wind pterodactyls are circling the huge willow tree and roaring in the sky.
“So young!”
“It’s that guy!”
The driver who had spoken to Fang Xing for a few words widened his eyes: “I am so lucky to have a conversation with a king-level driver?”
…
The seventh floor of the Tower of Heart.
The surrounding environment kept changing, and finally stopped in a desert.
On the other side, the guardian of the seventh floor bowed first and said: “Finally… someone has come to the seventh floor. If you pass this level, you will not only be awarded the title of Heavenly King, but you will also receive a reward in the Tower of Heart!”
“Oh? Who built this Heart Tower?”
Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back and asked the question with great interest.
With the strength of the Heart Temple, the cathedral it built would be a wonder.
But compared with this Tower of Babel, it still pales in comparison.
“Nature is the great Lord of the Heart!”
The seventh floor answered without hesitation, and then clapped the holy book in his hand.
Roar!
A giant made up of countless lava emerged, followed by a flaming horse with flames burning all over its body, a giant sky bird, a carnivorous plant, and a rock snake.
…
“They are all king-level heart beasts. Is this the difficulty of the seventh floor of the Heart Tower?”
Outside, Nangong Qiu Shui looked at this scene and bit her lip unwillingly.
“How difficult is it to defeat five king-level beasts?”
The other drivers felt somewhat desperate when they saw this scene.
“No, that’s not right…”
At this time, Nangong Qiu Shui looked at the seventh-level guardian, only to see that the other party’s body was wrapped in a layer of red spiritual light, and he had actually merged into one with the lava giant.
“Is this… the Heart Technique: Fusion?”
“By fusing with my own beast, not only will the beast’s power be amplified in all directions, but it will also eliminate its weaknesses…”
“A tough fight! An unprecedented tough fight!”
Nangong Qiushui’s clear eyes stared at the young driver in the projection: “How will you deal with this level?”
…
“Heart-beast fusion technique?”
Fang Xing smiled slightly: “Come out… my natal beast!”
“Woof woof!”
With a flash of light, a meter-long Husky appeared, lying on the ground, lazily scratching itself with its hind legs.
“What is that? A canine mind beast?”
Nangong Qiushui’s face showed a trace of confusion: “It seems that he is only at the lower king level… Canine beasts are inherently weak, even the king among them is not as good as the Lava King. This is a racial disadvantage…”
