"The weakness is in the tumor... As long as we destroy its vertical pupils... it won't be able to sense traps or anticipate attacks..." Liu Yang had a plan in mind... He deliberately slowed down the speed of his spiritual power... pretending to be more poisoned... and staggered back towards the ditch on the right...

The dark demon was fooled... thinking that Liu Yang was powerless to resist... speeding up and chasing him... the cyclone at the end of its tentacles condensed again... ready to launch a fatal attack... just when it approached the dark ditch... Liu Yang suddenly looked up... a brilliant light burst out of his eyes... "Now is the time... Ten Spirits Return to One, Thunder and Fire Break..."

He completely unleashed the power of "Thunder Lake" and "Heaven Burning" within the Ten-Faced Spirit's heart... and simultaneously merged it with the power of "Future Deduction"—the purple lightning and golden flames could no longer be separated...

Instead, it condensed into a spiral spear... The tip of the spear flashed with a dazzling light... It accurately predicted the movement of the dark demon tumor... and shot towards the three vertical pupils...

"Impossible... You're not poisoned..." The dark demon was horrified... He quickly moved his tentacles to block the tumor... The black cyclone instantly expanded... Trying to block the lightning spear...

But this time... Liu Yang was prepared. With a wave of his left hand... the power of "Water Softness" transformed into a stream of water... which wrapped around the Thunder Fire Spear... Not only did the water flow not extinguish the flames... but it harnessed the power of the thunder to form a conductive water curtain... which knocked down all the bone blades in the cyclone...

At the same time... he stomped his right foot on the ground... the power of "Wood Withering" was injected into the ditch... countless withered vines suddenly grew in the ditch... the vines entangled the roots of the earth demon... making it unable to retreat even a single step...

"Pfft-"

The lightning spear pierced through the black vortex... piercing fiercely into the dark demon's tumor... golden flames instantly erupted within the tumor... purple lightning spread along the tumor's folds... shattering all three vertical pupils...

The dark demon let out a shrill scream... its body began to twitch violently... its scales peeled off... and dark green juice gushed out like a fountain...

After losing its vertical pupils... it could no longer sense traps... its ten roots flailing aimlessly... only to trigger the hidden arrows and poisonous stingers it had laid... countless hidden arrows pierced its body... though they couldn't penetrate its scales... they only caused it to become even more confused...

"It's over..." Liu Yang seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... and injected all the remaining spiritual power in his body into the Ten-Faced Spirit Heart... "Ten Spirits Return to One, Shatter the Core..."

This time... he didn't condense a beam of light... but instead concentrated all ten powers into his right fist... and teleported to the dark demon's tumor... and struck it hard where the lightning spear had penetrated...

With a crisp "crack" sound... the tumor completely shattered... revealing a dark green crystal core hidden within it - the core of the Dark Earth Demon's power... After being struck by the fist... the crystal core was instantly covered with cracks... The earth and poison powers contained within it burst out like a flood... The Dark Earth Demon's body began to rapidly shrink... Its scales and roots turned to ash... In the end, only a flickering crystal core remained... and it fell to the rotten soil...

With the demon's death... the traps throughout the cave were rendered ineffective—the hidden arrows ceased firing... the roots turned to dust... the phosphorescent light on the rock wall gradually grew brighter... illuminating the scene at the end of the cave...

There was no longer a dark rock wall... but a stone door emitting a soft white light... Above the stone door were four ancient seal characters engraved - "Top of the Tongtian Pagoda"...

Liu Yang collapsed onto the ground... breathing heavily... the dull pain in his chest hadn't subsided yet... the light of the Ten-Faced Spiritual Heart dimmed again... but as he stared at the stone door... his eyes shone brightly. After passing the 75th floor... he had finally reached the end of the Tower of Babel... all the secrets... would be revealed beyond the stone door...

.....

Liu Yang slowly stood up, holding onto the rock wall. The dull pain in his chest gradually eased as his spiritual energy slowly flowed through him. A faint glimmer of light shone on the dull surface of the Ten-Faced Spiritual Heart. He gazed at the stone door ahead, emitting a soft white glow. The moment his fingertips touched the door panel...

A warm current flowed through his fingertips and into his body—this wasn't an attack... but rather a guiding force of energy... as if inviting him to step into the true destination of the Tower of Babel...

The stone door slowly slid open to the sides... There was no imagined startling vision... only a vast expanse of crystal-clear emptiness... unlike the damp, cold, and gloomy 75th floor... here there was no ground... no rock walls... not even a boundary between light and shadow... only countless colorful bands of light slowly flowing through the void... like silk woven from all the elements of heaven and earth disassembled and rewoven...

Wherever the light band passed... fragmented images would occasionally emerge... the afterimage of an ancient cultivator soaring on a sword... the silhouette of a giant demonic beast roaring through the forest... and footage of countless cultivators breaking through the tower's barriers. Clearly... these were the marks left by all the intruders and guardians of the Tower of Babel since its inception...

"This isn't a 'layer'... it's more like... a gathering place of laws..." Liu Yang floated in the void... The Ten-Faced Spiritual Heart suddenly trembled violently... The ten previously independent spiritual rays began to entwine with each other... as if summoned by some force...

At this moment... an old and majestic voice came from the depths of the void... the voice did not travel through the air... it resonated directly in his sea of ​​consciousness... "Anyone who passes the seventy-fifth floor... will undergo the 'Ten Thousand Trials'... if you pass, you will receive the tower's gift... if you fail, your soul will return to the realm of the underworld - do you... dare to respond..."

Before he finished speaking, the colorful bands of light flowing through the void suddenly accelerated... and instantly condensed into nine phantoms of varying shapes... Liu Yang's pupils suddenly shrank... He recognized the origins of these phantoms—they were the "projections of the laws" of the nine most powerful guardians from the first 75 floors...

...............................

There was the Scarlet Flame Dragon King, controlling blazing flames on the 10th floor... the Frost Demon Queen, manipulating ice on the 30th floor... the Purple Lightning Thunder God, dominating thunder on the 50th floor... and the murky Earth Demon he had just defeated on the 75th floor... Each projection exuded a coercive pressure identical to the original... Nine auras intertwined... forming an impenetrable energy web... blocking all of Liu Yang's escape routes...

"It's not about replicating strength... it's about replicating 'laws'..." Liu Yang instantly understood... The Dark Earth Demon on the 75th floor relied on the laws of earth and poison... And while the projection before him lacked the original's flesh and blood body... it had perfectly inherited the core laws of each. The projection of the Scarlet Flame Dragon King was burning with the "Southern Ming Fire" that could melt fine iron...

Wherever the Frost Demon Queen's projection passed, "Mysterious Ice Crystals" capable of freezing spiritual energy condensed... The Purple Lightning Thunder God's projection was surrounded by "Purple Sky Divine Thunder" capable of tearing through space...

Even more problematic was the fact that these projections weren't fighting independently. The Red Flame Dragon King's flames fell on the black ice crystals, triggering a phenomenon of "water and fire working together" and creating a sky full of steam. This steam was then struck by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, transforming into countless tiny streams of lightning magma, which poured down towards Liu Yang.

"I can't dodge... I can only take it head-on..." Liu Yang gritted his teeth... and pushed the power of the Ten-Faced Spirit Heart to its limit... He first activated "Eternal Freeze" to condense three layers of ice shields... trying to block the lightning plasma... But as soon as the ice shields came into contact with the lightning plasma...

It melted instantly... Before the melted ice water even touched the ground... it was evaporated into boiling steam by the flames projected by the Scarlet Flame Dragon King... wrapped in thunder and energy, it struck him in the face... At this critical moment... Liu Yang suddenly remembered the key to defeating the Earth Demon on the 75th floor - it was not to resist the laws head-on... but to exploit the weaknesses of the laws...

He quickly scanned the nine projections... and discovered a key detail... At the core of each projection... was a colored dot of light originating from the same light band... The Crimson Flame Dragon King's projection was red... The Frost Queen's was blue... and the Purple Lightning Thunder God's was purple—it was clearly the projection's energy core... and the "anchor" of the law...

More importantly... although the flickering frequencies of these light points varied... they nonetheless subtly resonated with the ten spiritual energy fluctuations of the Ten-Faced Spiritual Heart... especially the five fundamental spiritual energies representing "Sharp Gold," "Withered Wood," "Soft Water," "Burning Fire," and "Thick Earth"... which almost resonated with the projected light points of corresponding attributes...

................................

"So the key to the trial isn't defeating the projection... but the law of 'fusion'..." Liu Yang's mind suddenly became clear... He no longer rushed to defend... Instead, he actively dissipated the ice shield... and injected the "Golden Sharp" power from the Ten-Faced Spirit's heart into his right hand...

Just as the lightning was about to strike him... he swung his fist violently... The golden edge didn't strike the lightning directly... but instead precisely collided with the purple light dot at the core of the Purple Lightning Thunder God's projection. With a soft "hum" sound... the purple light dot instantly burst into a dazzling light...

The purple thunder surrounding the Purple Thunder God's projection suddenly became docile... following the trajectory of the golden sharp edge... and wrapped around Liu Yang's arm... no longer possessing any aggressive power...

"It works..." Liu Yang's spirits lifted... and he immediately adjusted his strategy... He first directed the power of "Water Softness" toward the blue light projected by the Frost Demon Queen... The moment the water flow came into contact with the black ice crystal... The black ice that originally froze spiritual energy suddenly transformed into liquid "spiritual water"... flowing along the light band and merging into his spiritual energy...

He then channeled his "Heaven Burning" power to connect with the red light projected by the Scarlet Flame Dragon King... The Southern Ming Lihuo not only failed to burn his body... but instead merged with the fire-attributed spiritual energy within him... causing the temperature of the "Heaven Burning" power to surge threefold... Then... the "Wood Withering" power entwined itself with the ochre light projected by the Earth Demon... The withered vines transformed into "spiritual essence" that nourished his spiritual energy...

The power of "thick earth" resonated with the brown light projected by the stone-armored giant on the 40th floor... forming an indestructible "earth barrier"...
