Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

```

They reached the thirteenth floor.

Here, the inscription read, "To cross the Heavenly Tribulation, is to become the Heavenly Tribulation itself!"

"The twelfth floor provided trials for beings at the Three Calamities Supreme Deity level, whereas this thirteenth floor directly pertains to the Sky Calamity Supreme God's trial. Thus, the fourteenth floor must be for the Saint Emperor, and the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth floors must belong to realms above that of the Saint Emperor!"

Chu Qin gave a faint smile, "It seems that is the case."

"But, to pass through this Tower of Undying and achieve the ultimate realm is rather terrifying, isn't it?" Xiao Qiu said, somewhat surprised.

"This implies that the Tower of Undying is extraordinary! Moreover, the challenges above are likely beyond imagination," Xiao Qi continued.

"The Ancestral Emperor never mentioned the Tower of Undying. Where it came from, I do not know," Gu Yin spoke.

"Chu Qin, Xi E, this is where we are to transcend our tribulations," Thunder Emperor said with a faint smile. "You go first. Wait for us above!"

"Of course, I'm just kidding!" Thunder Emperor added.

"Alright, Xiao'e, Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qi, Ayin, Zhu Yan, let's go!" Chu Qin led the five women straight into the midst of the Heavenly Tribulation.

This trial was for the Sky Calamity Supreme God, yet Xi E, Xiao Qiu, and Gu Yin, all of the same level, barely managed to pass through.

Luckily, they were able to barely push through by relying on their respective skills and abilities.

Moreover, everyone discovered that the Tower of Undying was different from what they expected. Even if one dies during the trials, they could be resurrected and try again.

In other words, the Tower of Undying enabled infinite trials.

This news was soon relayed by Chu Qin to those below and everyone began their frantic attempt to ascend the tower.

In this manner, the five individuals arrived at the fourteenth floor, "Time Demon!"

"The fourteenth floor, Time Demon, is the trial for the Semi-Step Saint Emperor!" Xi E read the inscription aloud.

"It looks like we were wrong. There is another layer for the Semi-Step Saint Emperor," Xi E realized.

"Above the Semi-Step Saint Emperor is the Saint Emperor, and above that is the Half-Step Supreme God-King. It seems that the final floor of the Tower of Undying is the ascension to Supreme God-King!" Gu Yin explained.

"Supreme God-King?" Everyone except Chu Qin was startled.

"Yes, the realm above the Saint Emperor is the legendary Supreme God-King, who is said to reign over everything in the universe," Gu Yin said. "But that realm is so extraordinary, I didn't tell the people before about it."

Chu Qin's face lit up with joy, "Then, my target is the seventeenth floor—the Supreme God-King!"

If Chu Qin could advance to Supreme God-King, he would be just one step away from the Azure Dragon!

"Chu Qin, the trials of the Tower of Undying always exceed your current realm by one level. To become a Supreme God-King, you must defeat a Supreme God-King. You must be careful," Gu Yin warned.

"Indeed, master, the Supreme God-King and the Three Calamities Supreme Deity are not on the same level!" Zhu Yan also added.

"Don't worry, I know my own limits; besides, the Tower of Undying is undying. I won't be in danger!" Chu Qin said with a smile. "But you all should proceed according to your own strength."

"Yes, we will," all the women replied in unison.

"Good, then I'll go first!" Chu Qin said and charged into the Time Demon's trial.

The Semi-Step Saint Calamity was no match for Chu Qin.

The "Void Domain" space trial, facing a Saint Calamity realm Supreme God, was likewise defeated by Chu Qin with a single sword strike.

In this way, Chu Qin reached the sixteenth floor.

This floor provided the trial at the level of the Half-Step Supreme Godking.

By surpassing this floor, Chu Qin could break through his current realm, advancing from the Saint Emperor to the Half-Step Supreme Godking!

On the sixteenth floor, all was shrouded in darkness, so much that even Chu Qin's True Sight Eye could not penetrate it.

He could only sense the rolling thunder in the skies, fearsome to the extreme. Chu Qin believed that even a being at the Saint Emperor Realm might not endure it.

"Ghost Demon Forbidden Land, break through to reach the Ancestral Realm!"

Chu Qin looked at the inscription and revealed a trace of a smile.

```

Half-Step Supreme God-King Realm, it should be what is known as the Ancestral Realm!

"Come, let me see just how far I am from this half-step King Realm," Chu Qin said as he charged into the Ghost Demon.

Upon entering, the pitch-black thunder in the sky gave Chu Qin a grand "baptism"!

As Chu Qin had expected, this thunder contained terrifying powers of the Dao's laws.

However, for Chu Qin, this was ineffective!

He immediately activated the secret art of the twelve characters, transformed into thunder, and effortlessly passed through the baptism of lightning.

And there he was, arriving above a gigantic open space, where nothing existed, void of everything.

"Where is the guardian of the Ghost Demon Forbidden Land?"

Chu Qin shouted loudly.

As soon as Chu Qin's voice fell, the figure of an old man appeared before him, who was currently lying in the posture of a sleeping Arhat, his back to Chu Qin, snoring heavily in his sleep.

At this point, Chu Qin couldn't help but be surprised, for the layers below, each was turbulent, a scene of the world's end, of natural and man-made disasters, yet this layer was guarded by a sleeping old man!

"Asleep?"

Chu Qin's eyebrows knit slightly as he launched a thunder secret art towards the old man's back.

The old man was jolted awake from his sleep, opening his eyes.

One could see that his eyes were actually blood-red.

The next moment, a red light bloomed on the old man's back, intercepting Chu Qin's lightning.

"Ah!" Following that, the old man stretched lazily, stood up languidly, and turned around, sizing up Chu Qin with a glance, "Who might you be? State your name, I, Yazi, do not kill the nameless!"

"You're one of the Nine Dragon Children, Yazi!" Chu Qin said, a slight shock in his voice.

"Correct," Yazi nodded.

"Shouldn't you be guarding the Tianmen alongside the Azure Dragon? How did you end up here?" Chu Qin's pupils contracted slightly.

The Azure Dragon was his wife, which meant the Yazi before him was...?

"Oh, you know of Tianmen! No wonder you made it here. Why I'm here is none of your concern, defeat me, and you shall have your victory," Yazi said languidly.

Suddenly, a flash of red light in Yazi's eyes, "Wait, why do you have the Supreme Qinglong Seal inside you!"

"Given by the Azure Dragon," Chu Qin said calmly.

"You are the Descendant of the Dragon Mother!" Yazi's face obviously changed.

"I suppose so," Chu Qin nodded.

"Good! Good! Good! How interesting!" Yazi chuckled darkly as a pair of crimson dragon horns appeared on his head, and a violent murderous aura burst forth from within Yazi, "What is your name?"

"Chu Qin," Chu Qin said calmly.

"What a name, Chu Qin! Originally, it was because of you that I was banished to guard the Tower of Undying," Yazi raged.

"What, because of me?" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise.

"Indeed!" Yazi said, "I was supposed to be the Descendant of the Azure Dragon, but the Supreme Qinglong Seal and the Dragon Mother chose you. I was kicked away without a second thought to guard this Tower of Undying! Chu Qin, I'm eager to see whether you have the strength to govern Tianmen and the Sacred Beast Secret Realm in the future!"

"That might be more formidable than you think," Chu Qin said, his gaze turning grave.

So it was his rival!

Interesting!

Very interesting indeed!

"Fine, Chu Qin, let me give you a heads-up," Yazi said coldly, "once our duel begins, it cannot be stopped. And I am immortal, but you can die!"

"Can die?" Chu Qin's eyes narrowed slightly.
