Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Then, they continued charging forward.

Next, the three kept advancing, continuously encountering attacks from those black shadows.

Each time, they directly attacked the heads of those black shadows, destroying them.

Time passed unknowingly as they fought on like this.

Finally, they arrived at an even broader space.

In this space, massive black mountain peaks floated mid-air, each peak featuring a black shadow sitting cross-legged atop it.

These black shadows emitted intensely powerful auras that made them feel deeply uneasy.

"Looks like we've reached the fifth layer of the Nine-layer Demon Tower."

Ye Yunfei gazed at the massive black mountain peaks ahead and said solemnly.

"The fifth layer?"

Luo Yao and Meng Shan were both taken aback upon hearing this.

They knew very well that each layer of the Nine-layer Demon Tower was far more challenging than the previous one.

Ye Yunfei and the group reaching the fifth layer was already an impressive feat.

"That's right, this is the fifth layer."

Ye Yunfei nodded and confirmed.

"Let's be cautious and keep pushing forward."

Ye Yunfei said again.

He then took the lead, heading toward the towering black mountain peaks ahead.

Soon, they reached one of the black mountain peaks.

On the peak sat a cross-legged black shadow.

Its aura was far stronger than the black shadows they had encountered earlier.

Their arrival appeared to draw the black shadow's attention.

The black shadow slowly opened its eyes, two jet-black pupils glinting coldly as they fixed on Ye Yunfei and his companions.

"Whoosh!"

The black shadow suddenly waved its hand, sending a surge of black energy slashing fiercely toward Ye Yunfei and his team.

This surge of black energy exuded a terrifying aura that made Ye Yunfei and the others palpitate.

"Watch out!"

Ye Yunfei shouted and flicked his finger, releasing a sharp streak of Sword Qi that slashed outward with force.

"Boom!"

The sharp streak of Sword Qi collided with the incoming black energy, erupting into a massive wave of energy.

Ye Yunfei and his companions were forced back several steps by the shockwave before stabilizing themselves.

The black energy was shattered into fragments and then dissipated into the air.

"Such formidable strength!"

Ye Yunfei's expression grew serious.

This black shadow was undeniably more powerful than the ones they had faced earlier.

"Quick, quick, go on the offensive!"

Ye Yunfei said firmly.

"Got it!"

Luo Yao and Meng Shan nodded in agreement.

Simultaneously, the three charged at the black shadow with full force.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

They launched a barrage of attacks, sending fierce strikes toward the black shadow.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Under the impact of successive blasts, the black shadow's body staggered backward repeatedly.

However, its body appeared extremely tough; their attacks, despite forcing it to retreat, didn't deal substantial damage.

"These creatures' bodies seem incredibly durable. Our attacks barely affect them."

Luo Yao observed and commented.

"True."

Meng Shan nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, then let's focus on attacking its head!"

Ye Yunfei said firmly.

"Alright!"

Luo Yao and Meng Shan both nodded again.

They charged back toward the black shadow, this time aiming exclusively for its vulnerable head.

As expected...

"It works!"

Ye Yunfei exclaimed as he saw the effect of their new strategy, a smile spreading across his face.

They continued moving forward, heading toward the towering black mountain peaks ahead.

Throughout their time in the fifth layer, they battled relentlessly.

They encountered one black shadow after another, eliminating each in turn.

While these black shadows were incredibly strong, their durable bodies shared one consistent vulnerability: their heads. Ye Yunfei and his team exploited this weakness to dispatch them.

On this particular day...

Ye Yunfei and the group arrived at a particularly tall black mountain peak.

This mountain peak towered over the others.

Sitting cross-legged atop this summit was another black shadow.

Its aura was far more overwhelming than any they had faced so far.

"It seems that the black shadow on this peak must be the Guardian of this layer."

Ye Yunfei analyzed as he focused on the shadow atop the mountain.

"Right. If we can defeat it, we should be able to break through this layer."

Luo Yao agreed with a nod.

"Let's proceed."

Ye Yunfei commanded.

Taking the lead, he moved toward the gigantic black mountain peak.

Soon, they reached the base of the towering mountain.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately upon noticing their presence, the black shadow opened its eyes abruptly, unleashing a fierce surge of black energy directly toward them.

"Boom!"

Ye Yunfei flicked his finger, releasing a sharp burst of Sword Qi that shattered the incoming black energy.

"Together, let's attack with full force!"

Ye Yunfei urged.

With their combined effort, the trio launched relentless strikes against the black shadow.

Despite its strength, the black shadow struggled to withstand the joint attacks.

Yet, they noticed that its head was more vulnerable than the rest of its body.

The trio focused their attacks on its head, gradually breaking it down.

Under their united assault, the black shadow's body began to crumble, scattering black energy fragments into the air.

Finally...

"Boom!"

Ye Yunfei unleashed a devastating blow, shattering the black shadow's head completely and dispersing the fragments into the air.

Its crumbling body soon followed, disintegrating into swirling fragments of black energy.

"Finally defeated it!"

Ye Yunfei exhaled deeply in relief and smiled.

Reaching out, he grabbed the Black Bead left behind by the shadow's collapse.

The Black Bead radiated an intense concentration of energy.

"This must be the treasure of this layer."

Ye Yunfei said, smiling as he examined the bead in his hand.

"Let's go. Onward to the next layer."

Ye Yunfei led the way forward once more.

Soon, they left the space behind and entered the sixth layer.

In this layer, towering black palaces stretched endlessly. Within each palace sat another cross-legged black shadow.

The Guardian of this layer...

Was a completely jet-black tiger-like beast.

As soon as Ye Yunfei and his team stepped into the sixth layer, they immediately sensed the beast's aura.

"The aura of this black beast is far stronger than those black shadows from before."

Ye Yunfei said solemnly as he looked toward a palace in the distance.

"Indeed, its aura is overwhelmingly powerful."

Luo Yao agreed with a nod.

They understood that this layer would present their greatest challenge yet.

"Let's proceed cautiously."

Ye Yunfei reminded them.
