Chapter 1446: Chapter 1446: Tower of Heaven

The Eight Great Families’ eight elders shamelessly abandoned all honor. Despite Nong Lao’s defeat, they refused to honor their promise and, in front of the whole world, joined forces in an attempt to suppress or kill Yusuf Zuck.

The eight elders, all wielders of tremendous power, although not present in their true forms, still bore the terrifying might of dominance, with Divine Skills that eclipsed the heavens and unrivaled power.

Through Nong Lao and Yusuf Zuck’s preceding battle, the eight had discerned that Yusuf possessed a unique force—one unfamiliar to them—that swept away all obstacles. Seeing this, the eight elders truly united, refraining from any internal discord.

Arranged in an octagonal formation, the eight elders’ foreheads radiated light, and when the beams converged, a thunderous ’Bursting’ sound echoed forth. The energy swiftly absorbed them.

In the blink of an eye, the eight elders stacked into a pyramid configuration, forming shadowy figures. With their outlines dissolving simultaneously, their energies reconstituted, shaping a colossus towering at over a hundred zhang high.

Indeed, these eight were originally spiritual energy entities capable of endless transformations. Their individual physical forms shattered, their essence, spirit, and energy blended anew, and in a mere instant, a giant materialized.

The union of eight elders was their mightiest Divine Skill. It was by this very method that they dominated an entire era; once unleashed, it was utterly invincible.

At this moment, Yusuf Zuck’s Qiankun Great Rod slammed downward, while the colossal giant forged by the elders condensed energy into its own rod, clashing violently against Yusuf’s.

"Bang!" This time, Yusuf’s Power of the Giants appeared significantly weaker. Failing to shatter the opponent’s energy-forged rod, he felt a sharp jolt that left him numb in his tiger’s mouth, sending his body flying backward while his blood surged chaotically within.

To his horror, the Giant Spirit Seed resting within his sea of consciousness began to dim, losing its pure golden hue.

It signified that the Giant Spirit Power within the seed was on the brink of exhaustion.

Yusuf felt a chill in his heart—damn it, even Giant Spirit Power wasn’t infinite!

Meanwhile, the giant formed by the eight elders strode forward in pursuit.

"Argh! Transform! Transform!" Yusuf roared, his bones cracking audibly as his body instantly expanded to a hundred zhang tall, matching the height of the elders’ giant.

The eight elders and everyone in the square were struck dumb.

Seriously? That Yusuf could even transform? Could wield Giant Techniques?

However, Yusuf didn’t stop. Growing past a hundred zhang, he ascended to two hundred zhang, then four hundred, and then eight hundred zhang.

His towering form seemed to pierce the heavens, his upper body disappearing into the starlit skies above.

He was impossibly large.

"Qiankun Great Rod, grow bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger..." Yusuf suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The Qiankun Great Rod had the ability to enlarge, and his increasing height complemented it perfectly.

An eight-hundred-zhang giant could only wield the Qiankun Great Rod seamlessly.

"Oh heavens... oh heavens... my heavens!"

"This... this is impossible!"

"How can he grow so tall?"

"What Art of Change is this?"

"Even his Qiankun Great Rod enlarged!"

"Body height paired with magic treasures—completely flawless! This man seems blessed by the heavens!"

"It’s over... it’s over... to him, the eight elders are nothing but children, and we’re mere ants."

Indeed, when Yusuf looked down from above, everyone on the plaza appeared as ants, and the giant formed by the eight elders was no more than a child.

Wielding the Qiankun Great Rod, he swung it downward fiercely toward the elders’ giant, intent on stabbing into them and slaying those bastards.

"This one defies the heavens; he’s beyond our ability to contend. Summon the Tower of Heaven!"

"Yes, only the Tower of Heaven can handle this!"

"But... to summon the Tower of Heaven, we’ll need to expend a drop of Blood of Creation. Over the years, we’ve accumulated only a few drops."

"There’s no choice. Unless our true forms arrive, we cannot kill him. His Divine Skills and magic treasures exceed all comprehension."

"Stop hesitating! His rod is about to strike down!"

"Resist for now; summon the Tower of Heaven. Only it can suppress and destroy this abomination."

As crises converged, the eight elders swiftly reached their decision, simultaneously thrusting their hands forward in unison, clashing against the descending Qiankun Great Rod.

"Boom~" The Qiankun Great Rod’s increasing size augmented its force and weight, overwhelming the eight elders with sheer magnitude alone.

The phantom arms of their giant cracked audibly, though they barely held on.

Truth be told, no matter how tall Yusuf grew, his Giant Spirit Power remained finite, unamplified by his lofty stature. Only the Qiankun Great Rod escalated in power.

However, the Qiankun Great Rod couldn’t instantly annihilate the eight elders.

"Summon the Tower of Heaven..."

"Summon the Tower of Heaven..."

The eight elders simultaneously chanted fervently. From their spectral giant’s body, eight points of blood-red light shot forth, converging and combining violently into what resembled a sharp arrow, darting sharply upward into the sky.

"Crack-crack-crack~ Crack-crack-crack~" Meanwhile, the giant’s body continued issuing horrifying bone-shattering sounds, as if about to collapse at any second.

"This one’s only an Intermediate God Emperor. If he ascends to Dignity or becomes a Superior Divine Master, we’d have no choice but to kneel at his feet."

"We must not lose today! If we fail, our Eight Great Families will perish without exception."

"Agreed. Hold the line! Our true forms cannot emerge, but the Tower of Heaven will surely crush and exterminate him."

Meanwhile, Yusuf relentlessly pressured the elders, amplifying his force as the decisive moment loomed. The confrontation depended entirely on whose strength endured—whether his rod decimated them or if they deflected it away.

Suddenly, Yusuf noticed a blood-red light streaking upward at incredible speed.

Before he could make sense of it or discern its intent, the light bypassed his body and shot higher.

Instinctively gazing up, Yusuf watched the blood-red light halt above his head, roughly a hundred zhang higher. Then, the light exploded with a resounding blast.

From the flowing brilliance emerged a crimson, blood-colored tower initially transparent but swiftly acquiring a metallic texture.

The tower, Yusuf recognized, wasn’t an Innate Spiritual Treasure. After all, nothing Innate-born would emerge as a tower. Evidently, this artifact must have been forged postnatally.

And yet, the oppressive might radiating from the tower gave him an acute sense of peril as though it transcended even postnatally-made artifacts.

"Not good! I need to evade this tower—it’s aiming to shroud me. I can’t let it succeed!" Alarmed, Yusuf immediately attempted to retreat.

Unfortunately, the blood-light tower trembled fiercely, projecting beams that enveloped Yusuf’s head. Suddenly, he found himself unable to move.

Moments later, the blood-light tower expanded dramatically, far surpassing Yusuf in size. Towering mightily at thousands of zhang in height and breadth, Yusuf gazed upward, seeing nothing but the enormous bottom of the tower—a swirling blood-black hollow.

"Whoosh~" As Yusuf struggled frantically, the blood-light tower lowered abruptly, enshrouding him entirely.

"Clang~" The world fell silent.
