Chapter 336: Enlightenment
After about thirty breaths, Duan Qing's spiritual power was exhausted, and the golden light shield disappeared.
At the same time, the golden light shields of the two copies also disappeared into thin air.
Duan Qing couldn't help showing a proud look when he saw this.
Success!
Haha, there is always a way out!
The golden bowl is a spiritual treasure, and the spiritual power consumption is extremely terrifying. With his current peak cultivation of the late stage of the mortal transformation, it can probably only maintain it for more than ten breaths.
However, these ten breaths are the time to maintain the real state of the golden light shield. If it is switched to the virtual state, the spiritual power consumption will be greatly reduced, and the maintenance time will also be much longer.
His plan is to let the replica copy the spiritual treasure golden bowl and consume its spiritual power.
Although the replica's cultivation is the early stage of the questioning state, the spiritual power must be higher than his. Normally, the time to maintain the golden light shield must be longer than his.
But because the spiritual power consumption of the virtual state is different, this is not absolute.
With his skillful conversion of the real and virtual state of the golden light shield, and constant feinting attacks, he kept the replica on the defensive for a long time and maintained the real golden light shield. He forced the replica to consume spiritual power much faster than him.
In the end, the spiritual power was almost consumed at the same time.
Because he attacked many times, the golden light shield was in the virtual state when he attacked, and the spiritual power consumption was low, while the two replicas were exhausted from defense, and the golden light shield was in the real state most of the time, and the spiritual power consumption was high.
It was precisely because of the replica with more spiritual power than him that the golden light shield was maintained in the virtual state for a longer time that the current situation came about.
In the Tower of Babel, there is no other way to replenish spiritual power except to pass through to the next level, where spiritual power will automatically recover.
Without spiritual power, it means that no magic can be performed, and it depends entirely on physical strength to fight.
This is equivalent to restoring the strength of the replica to the level before he performed magic.
Although he is also unable to perform magic, it is much better than the situation where both can perform the Vermillion Bird Armor and Vermillion Bird Feather.
Of course, his method actually has obvious shortcomings.
After all, there are two copies. If the two cooperate well, he can't achieve the purpose of consuming the spiritual power of the two, and even his own spiritual power will be consumed faster.
But obviously, there is almost no cooperation between the copies, otherwise his method will not succeed.
In addition, the copy may not directly use the golden light shield defense as he wishes, but use the Suzaku Armor.
But in this way, he can directly use the more powerful Suzaku Feather to break the Suzaku Armor and kill it directly. With the golden light shield, he is not afraid that the next layer of the copy will use the Suzaku Feather to break his golden light shield.
In fact, among his current attack methods, except for the gourd sword that has been charged for a period of time, there is no other means to break the golden light shield. Of course, this is just his speculation. He has not tried it.
In short, if the copy does not use the golden light shield, he will kill it with the Suzaku Feather. If the copy uses it, he will use this method of consuming spiritual power.
Anyway, neither side will suffer.
As the clones ran out of spiritual power, Duan Qing was less cautious and attacked the two again with his sword.
This time, neither side could use any magic. Even though the two clones were stronger than him, Duan Qing relied on his rich combat experience to fight with the two for a long time. In the end, he only paid the price of minor injuries and successfully killed them with his sword.
As Duan Qing entered the 82nd floor, everyone under the Tongtian Monument exclaimed again.
"Look, look, that number 330 has reached the 82nd floor!"
"Oh my goodness, it seems that this number 330 may really make it to the 90th floor!"
"Oh, it's a pity for the number 331, who finally stopped at the 81st floor!"
"Do you think this number 330 is the girl from the Five Elements Sect?"
"It's hard to say. The man can kill the middle-stage Questioning Heart Realm with the late stage of Transcendental Realm. It is estimated that he is not small!"
Almost everyone knows what it means to break into the 82nd floor.
There are ten levels of Tongtian Tower, and the difficulty will not increase much between these ten levels.
In other words, if you can reach the new tenth floor, then you have a great chance of completing all ten floors.
For example, there is a jump in difficulty from the seventy-ninth floor to the eightieth floor. If you pass the eightieth floor, then you have a good chance of making it all the way to the eighty-ninth floor.
Of course, this is not absolute. Some people may try their best or have good luck to pass the eightieth floor, but they are not so lucky when facing the eighty-first floor.
But in the new tenth floor, passing two floors in a row is different, which means that the cultivator who passes the level does not rely on luck, but on strength to pass two floors in a row.
In this case, the cultivator who passes the level is very likely to pass the entire tenth floor.
…
The eighty-second floor of the Tower of Babel.
When the two copies appeared, they did not activate the golden light shield like the copies on the previous floor, but directly used the Vermillion Bird Armor, and at the same time raised their hands to shoot two Vermillion Bird Feathers at Duan Qing, and then raised their swords to kill Duan Qing.
Duan Qing did not dodge or evade. He calmly put away his flying sword and activated the golden light shield to resist the two Suzaku Feathers. When the two rushed to him, he quickly switched the golden light shield to the virtual state. His fingertips had already condensed secretly, and the Suzaku Feathers containing 30% of his spiritual power were used instantly.
There was no surprise. The replica could not dodge at this distance. The Suzaku Feather directly broke the Suzaku Armor of the left replica and passed through its face.
Seeing this, Duan Qing couldn't help but show a smug look on his face. This was actually another situation he had expected before. The replica didn't need the golden light shield, so he killed it with the Suzaku Feathers containing more spiritual power.
However, at this time, another replica also attacked close to him. He quickly converted the golden light shield into its real state, and then used the flying sword to fight with the replica.
With only one replica left, Duan Qing easily gained the upper hand with his violent and rainstorm-like attacks, forcing the replica to activate the golden light shield for defense.
After all, with only one replica left, it was much easier for him to deal with.
Even though he had consumed 30% of his spiritual power and cast a Vermillion Bird Feather, he still used the same method as before, allowing the replica to maintain the real golden light shield almost all the time, and the spiritual power was consumed before him.
Duan Qing defeated the replica whose spiritual power was exhausted without even a scratch on his skin.
Looking at the replica gradually sinking into the water, he had some vague understanding in his heart.
Breaking through the Tongtian Tower does not depend on how high your cultivation level is. Even if you are in the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, you may be able to break through the ninety-nine floors, because the opponent is completely based on the cultivation level of the person entering the tower, and everyone is different.
If you want to break through to a higher level, the essence is to surpass yourself.
If you don't have a will that surpasses your own and puts it into practice, how can you pass the level smoothly when facing a replica that is exactly the same or even stronger than yourself?
He felt that along the way, not only did his cultivation level improve a lot due to the feedback from the Tower of Babel, he had already stepped half a foot into the threshold of the Questioning Heart Realm, and even his own combat experience and the use of magic skills also improved a lot.
If he hadn't continued to grow in the process of breaking through the tower, he would never have been able to break through to the current level.
