Immortal Ascension Tower - Book 1: Reborn! [CH 1 - 75]

Chapter 10 - (Title At The End)

As the gates opened, the darkness inside the first floor dwindled a bit, allowing Hao Cheng to finally gaze at the figure's outlines. Six golden eyes followed by a long, snake like body charged towards the outside world. Suddenly, a part of the creature's face was inundated by the golden light from the Immortal Ascension Tower.

The head resembled that of a dragon, a completely black dragon, except it didn't have a mouth. Instead, a small opening like a hole was there and it was already dripping poison. The six eyes were all glinting with fury and hatred and if looks could kill (Which in this case it wasn't that far from the truth) Cheng Hao would already have been turned to ashes and flown away in the wind.

"1... 2... 3... 4..."

Seeing the enraged expression on the monster's face, Cheng Hao closed his eyes, smiled gently and waved his left hand. A white stream of Qi appeared it was just like a white flame and it looked as if it could freeze to death anything in its path. He waved his right hand. A black stream of Qi appeared it was just like a black flame and it looked as if it could burn everything in its path.

The monstrous head hesitated for a bit seeing that, his expression one of fear and terror. It's eyes opened even wider than they were before when it's rage had come out and it's mouth opened and closed without making a sound.

"5... 6... 7... 8..."

Cheng Hao lifted his head and the only thing now visible on his face were his two eyes. The left eye looked like a vortex to another world, wherein seas of blood, mountain of corpses and a cold golden sun appeared. The corpses were constantly withering whereas the golden sun kept growing more and more majestic with each passing second.

Cheng Hao's left eye was something that could keep up people at night and anyone who glanced in it would start withering just like those corpses in the vision... His right eye also seemed to change somehow but it looked like the thing inside was still sealed and needed more strength to be able to break free.

"9... 10... 11... 12..."

Seeing that, the monster shrieked and jumped back going even further backwards in the room. Let alone coming out, it even closed the gate himself! The voice was now even feeble, as if it had run a long distance away "Cheater! Cheater! Those black and white flame-like gases... That illusion!" The black monster cried

"13... 14... 15... 16..."

It was youuuu!"

"17... 18... 19... 20!" Cheng Hao smiled and the abilities disappeared.

"Left White Current of The Gentle Life and Right Black Current of the Harsh Death! And even the Golden Sun Devouring Countless Corpses and that right eye... Is that the Black Beast of Nightmares! You, you fooled me! You are no Cheng Hao!" The voice paused "Xu Ling! Evil Saint! What are you doing here???"

Cheng Hao smiled and couldn't help but feel a bit of pity towards the monster locked inside the tower against his will. It had been given a chance at life but it would have never thought a thing like this would have ever happened "I won, so you are now my servant for a thousand years!"

"Xu Ling! How is it possible! You died that day by the hands of Tian himself!" The voice kept yelling nonstop. In its mind, it was repeating that it was impossible for something like Xu Ling to have survived Tian's attack,and yet here he was, standing in front of him, the only thing separating the two the two frames of the golden gates.

"That is right. I died and I came back. I built this tower to gain back my own power and that is why you will now bow to me and fight by my side like the old days, Monstrous Beast, Hellish Nightmare Dragon!"
