Chapter 689

That uninhibited and calm Meng Anwen had returned at this moment.

Meng Anwen said, "Don't tell Old Bai about this. That guy's capacity to handle things is too weak."

Lin Moyu nodded. "I understand. Actually, once Teacher becomes a Half-step Super God, he will find out anyway. I'm just telling you a bit earlier."

Meng Anwen said, "That esteemed one told you all of this, didn't he?"

"Yes."

Since Meng Anwen assumed Antares was the one who told him, he was more than happy to admit it and pin everything on Antares.

Meng Anwen warned him again, "Do not speak of this to anyone else. Not a single word."

Lin Moyu nodded. He understood.

Meng Anwen let out a long sigh of relief. Just then, he let out a soft gasp and flicked his finger. "kunlun snow grass king?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "The Great God Kunlun gave this to me."

The Great God Kunlun?

Meng Anwen was shocked once again. How did Lin Moyu get involved with a great god-grade deity now?

A great god-grade deity was equivalent to a Half-step Super God among humans. How lofty was their status?

However, thinking about Antares, it didn't seem like much anymore.

If he could even converse with Antares, what did a great god-grade deity amount to?

Meng Anwen felt that he could not view Lin Moyu through normal eyes.

The things Lin Moyu came into contact with had already far exceeded his own imagination.

Lin Moyu explained the deal between himself and the Great God Kunlun, but he only spoke of what should be said, keeping many details to himself.

As for the ancient war, Lin Moyu did not mention a single word.

Meng Anwen's attention was drawn back to the kunlun snow grass king. He had never imagined that such a miraculous thing could exist in this world.

As for how effective it was, it indeed still needed to be thoroughly tested to find out.

Lin Moyu said, "If we want to cultivate enough kunlun snow grass, we need a portable space where we can plant them."

"Something similar to Teacher's Shenxia Tower. I wonder where else we can find such a thing."

Without a second thought, Meng Anwen smiled and said, "I originally planned to tell you in a while. The demon-exterminating tower, one of the three towers of the Shenxia Empire, has exactly this function."

"The three legendary towers of the Shenxia Empire—the Trial Tower, the Shenxia Tower, and the demon-exterminating tower—are all legendary-grade, and each contains its own space with its own unique functions."

"The Trial Tower can open up infinite space for simulation and derivation."

"The Shenxia Tower possesses the power of teleportation and can also be used to set up arrays."

"The demon-exterminating tower focuses on offense and has the strongest attack power among the three towers."

"Since you have been inside the Ancient Thunder Tower, you should be able to tell that the three Shenxia Towers were all modeled after the Ancient Thunder Tower, yet their functions are completely different, which is very strange."

Lin Moyu did not expect the three Shenxia Towers to have such origins.

He knew all too well how high the level of the Ancient Thunder Tower was. Replicating it was bound to be impossible.

To be able to copy even a fraction of its surface-level features was already considered very good.

Lin Moyu said, "The demon-exterminating tower seems to be in Fortress No. 9."

Meng Anwen laughed heartily. "That's right, it is indeed in Fortress No. 9. Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, no one has been able to gain its recognition. It remains in Fortress No. 9 solely based on the will of its previous master."

"Old Bai and I originally planned to take you to Fortress No. 9 after you reached the god level to let you try to claim it."

"However, your soul level is already sufficient now, so you should be able to do it."

Lin Moyu's heart stirred. "If I take the demon-exterminating tower, what will happen to Fortress No. 9?"

Meng Anwen showed a look of disdain on his face. "What do you mean, what will happen? Our human race is strong enough. Whether we have the demon-exterminating tower or not makes little difference. In the past three hundred years, the demon-exterminating tower hasn't been used at all."

"Come, Teacher will take you to claim the tower!"

With a wave of Meng Anwen's hand, the Shenxia Tower flew into midair, shedding brilliant light.

Meng Anwen casually unleashed a trace of law power. Thousands of array runes flashed in unison, instantly forming a teleportation array.

Forming an array with a wave of his hand was something Meng Anwen could do before, but not as naturally as he did now.

After reaching level 96, his command over the power of laws was far stronger than before.

In the next second, the array activated, carrying Lin Moyu and Meng Anwen toward the Yuan Battlefield.

Countless streams of light rushed backward before his eyes. Lin Moyu recalled the first time he took a teleportation array, when seeing these streams of light would make him feel uncomfortable.

Now, he could appreciate it like beautiful scenery. Such a massive change made him feel somewhat sentimental.

Just two minutes later, the two of them appeared outside Fortress No. 9.

This place was heavily guarded, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach.

Aside from the garrison in the fortress, one needed at least the military rank of a six-star colonel to be qualified to enter.

Here, the weakest were top-tier Professionals who had completed their Third Awakening.

This place was closest to the Abyss exit, with the largest number of demons and the highest levels. It was the first line of defense for the Shenxia Empire.

Anyone below level 70 coming here would simply be throwing their lives away if they encountered a demon.

Lin Moyu put on his military badge, and he and Meng Anwen flew directly over.

The defensive array of Fortress No. 9 was in operation year-round.

As the two approached the array, they immediately caught the attention of the guards in the fortress.

The array actively shot out two beams of light that landed on them. The military badges on their bodies immediately responded, shining brightly.

Both of them were Five-Star Divine Generals, and the flashing purple light exuded nobility.

The glow on the array instantly changed, turning purple in a split second and echoing the military badges.

Right after, a bell chimed inside the fortress, and a grand purple pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

The purple pillar of light represented a Divine General, and the bell chiming five times in a row represented five stars.

The arrival of Five-Star Divine Generals immediately alarmed the military brass inside the fortress.

A Five-Star Divine General was currently the highest military rank of the human race.

There were currently no Six-Star Divine Generals in the human race; five stars was the ultimate rank.

Meng Anwen and Lin Moyu entered the array without hindrance. Meng Anwen explained, "The sages who built the fortress back then established the military rank system."

"Different ranks of military service carry different privileges and treatments."

"You are now a Five-Star Divine General. Although you don't hold any real power, in terms of status, you are no longer inferior to anyone."

Lin Moyu understood Meng Anwen's meaning. He was hinting that Lin Moyu didn't need to be too polite later on and should be more assertive.

He knew even better that status was only one aspect; one also had to possess sufficient strength.

Just like before, although he had a status comparable to god-level powerhouses, his strength fell short.

If a real conflict arose, status actually wouldn't be of much use.

Inside the fortress, General Wang Lin, General Wei Cang, and General Xia Shize flew out together.

Fortress No. 9 was their turf, and besides them, there was Senior Ye Hao.

When General Wang Lin saw Meng Anwen, a trace of ill intent flashed in his eyes. The two had never gotten along, belonging to different factions, and could not see eye to eye.

Then he saw Lin Moyu. As if thinking of something, intense hostility rose in his eyes.

Though his eyes harbored ill intent, he still had to put on a show in public, squeezing out an awkward smile. "God An, General Lin, your esteemed presence honors us. Pardon us for not welcoming you from afar, please do not take offense!"

Chapter 665: If You Move a Bit Faster, You Can Rank Seventh

A fake smile that didn't reach his eyes.

All of General Wang Lin's expressions were caught in Lin Moyu's eyes.

He couldn't even put on a convincing act; he was truly too weak.

Perhaps because he had been at the god level for too many years and no one dared to say no to his face, it led to this state of affairs.

Lin Moyu did not take General Wang Lin seriously. When their eyes met, Lin Moyu merely gave a slight nod.

The two held equal status, and Lin Moyu even surpassed him by a lot in military rank.

If it came to strength, Lin Moyu had even less reason to care about him.

Meng Anwen wouldn't strike a smiling face, so he got straight to the point to state their purpose. "My disciple, General Lin, whom you also know."

"We came here today to try to have the demon-exterminating tower recognize him as its master."

General Wei Cang and General Xia Shize's expressions changed slightly, and like General Wang Lin, hostility rose within them.

General Wang Lin had long guessed their purpose and was not surprised. Although his eyes held hostility, he remained polite on the surface. "Although General Lin is already an honored Divine General, he is only level 76 after all. Isn't this a bit too rushed?"

Meng Anwen shook his head. "Sometimes, level does not represent strength. Although Lin Moyu is only level 76, his strength is not inferior to yours."

"How is that possible…" General Wang Lin instinctively felt that Meng Anwen was joking, but when he saw the military badge on Lin Moyu's shoulder, he almost choked to death on his own words, unable to say another thing.

The Five-Star Divine General badge was so dazzlingly bright.

He had originally thought that the five bell chimes were to welcome Meng Anwen.

It turned out Lin Moyu was also one of them; Lin Moyu was actually a Five-Star Divine General.

General Wei Cang and General Xia Shize gasped in shock simultaneously, "That's impossible!"

Lin Moyu becoming a Divine General so early was already an unbelievable feat.

But becoming a Five-Star Divine General was simply a fantasy.

It meant that Lin Moyu had slain many god-level existences.

To go from four stars to five stars, one had to slay a full eight god-level enemies!

Were god-level existences really that easy to kill?

Yet Lin Moyu had done exactly that. No matter how he achieved it, it was enough to prove his strength.

General Wang Lin's mouth twitched several times, but he could not utter a word.

An ominous premonition seemed to rise in his heart. He did not want Lin Moyu to go over, yet he could find no reason to stop him.

Meng Anwen spoke, "Since I am here, let's proceed according to our agreement."

His voice was crisp, yet it carried a trace of pressure that made General Wang Lin and the others feel suffocated.

They were already inferior to Meng Anwen in the past, and the gap had only grown wider and wider since then, leaving them completely unable to catch up.

Here, only Senior Ye Hao could be compared to Meng Anwen.

General Wang Lin sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that it was impossible for him to stop them. "Then we will proceed according to the agreement, but you will have to wait a moment."

A trace of coldness flickered in Meng Anwen's eyes. "Wait for what?"

"Senior Ye Hao is currently attempting to claim the demon-exterminating tower. You will have to wait until he is finished," General Wang Lin said, gritting his teeth.

Meng Anwen waved his hand. "It's fine, we'll go over and wait."

As he spoke, he had already flown forward. Meng Anwen was highly familiar with Fortress No. 9 and knew his way around perfectly.

The demon-exterminating tower had been in Fortress No. 9 for hundreds of years and had never been moved.

The layout of Fortress No. 9 had not changed in the slightest either.

Meng Anwen quickly arrived at the location of the demon-exterminating tower.

Right in the center of Fortress No. 9 was an area heavily guarded by soldiers, emanating an unusual aura.

It was the aura of the demon-exterminating tower, as sharp as a sword, constantly slicing through the air.

Everyone had to stay more than five hundred meters away from the demon-exterminating tower. This five-hundred-meter radius was a restricted zone belonging entirely to the demon-exterminating tower.

At this moment, the gate of the demon-exterminating tower was open, and its body was shining brightly. Clearly, someone was inside.

The demon-exterminating tower was not particularly tall, measuring less than thirty meters. There were many buildings in the fortress taller than it.

However, the others were merely structures built of brick and stone, completely incomparable to the legendary-grade equipment that was the demon-exterminating tower.
