Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 420 - 348: Federation’s Number One, One of the Top Five Devils in the World—Leng Qianliu!

All 159 of these people were corrupted by the Corruption Divine Kingdom, including 19 of the 22 Federation students who had mastered the complete Divinity Transformation Inheritance.

The other three, who were not corrupted, were all in the Ninth Layer.

These three were Zhuang Ze from the Federation’s 14th rank, Daoist Soldier Department of Star River University, Tang Jingcheng from the Federation’s 11th rank, Communication Department of Star River University.

And the Federation’s number one, known as the strongest college student, Leng Qianliu, a fourth-year student from the Daoist Technique Department of Star River University.

"Taking over the Ninth Layer is the last and hardest step to unify the tower."

Su Yuan spoke indifferently:

"Those who have not practiced the complete Divinity Transformation Inheritance can stay behind; the rest will follow me up to the Ninth Layer. I will personally take action in this battle."

With that said, Su Yuan took the lead, heading up the spiral stairs toward the Ninth Layer with the other three members of the squad.

Behind them, Guo Zhengyi and the other 19 senior students who had mastered the complete Divinity Transformation Inheritance quickly followed.

Accompanying them was the black sludge surging toward the Ninth Layer like a tide.

This was the black sludge that had corroded layers one to eight of the tower, covering an area equivalent to eight Taihua Cities, comparable to the size of a small country, and had undergone a qualitative transformation.

It was foreseeable that the moment this greedy black sludge touched the Ninth Layer, the Ninth Layer would also fall at a terrifying speed.

Before long, Su Yuan stood in front of the door to the Ninth Layer.

After obtaining ownership of the tower, Su Yuan continuously used the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon to enhance the tower’s favorability towards him.

Up until now, the tower’s favorability had reached 130.

In addition, with the Divine Control Technique, the power Su Yuan could wield from the tower had reached a considerable level.

With a thought, the door in front of him opened automatically.

A space as warm as spring, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers emerged before him.

To Su Yuan’s surprise, no battle unfolded here.

On the contrary, he saw twenty members of Star River University’s varsity team working together in harmony, transforming the environment of the Ninth Layer.

Students from the Daoist Soldier Department created incredibly strong Daoist Soldiers, transporting heavy materials, and shaping the environment.

Students from the Communication Department built base stations, constructing a communication system similar to a Spiritual Net.

However, compared to the civilian Spiritual Net, the Spiritual Network Base Stations built by the Communication Department students here were clearly intended for combat.

Wherever the base stations covered, spiritual power and daoist techniques could flow, transfer, and converge from the Spiritual Net, exerting the power of daoist techniques beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators’ abilities.

Also, the students from the Daoist Technique Department were communicating with various attributes of Dao Rhythms within the Ninth Layer, making them as compatible as possible with the daoist technique students, allowing them to perform spells more smoothly and swiftly.

In summary, compared to the competition of layers one to eight below, the twenty members of Star River University’s varsity team were as harmonious as if they were engaging in team-building exercises.

Each person nearly maximized their role, together creating a most perfect battleground environment.

This left Su Yuan slightly dazed, then marveling.

No wonder Star River University is showing signs of becoming the Federation’s number one university; just this team spirit alone is unmatched by others.

Thankfully it’s only been five days since the Top Ten varsity teams entered the tower. If it were the fifteenth day, under the joint efforts of the twenty prodigies from Star River University, who knows what kind of war fortress this Ninth Layer would turn into.

As the door to the entrance of the Ninth Layer opened, Su Yuan’s presence at the entrance quickly caught some people’s attention.

A first-year student from the Daoist Technique Department looked at Su Yuan, a little dazed, and asked:

"Who are you..."

Su Yuan snapped out of his musings and gave an apologetic smile:

"I am the destroyer of this beautiful atmosphere."

"But don’t worry, once you all belong to my Corruption Divine Kingdom, you can continue working together."

The first-year student showed confusion, not quite understanding what Su Yuan was saying.

Su Yuan didn’t bother explaining further, just made a casual gesture.

Then, the first-year student and the other members of the Star River University varsity team saw boundless black sludge pouring in from behind the door.

Scarlet and darkness instantly shattered the peaceful atmosphere!

"Enemy attack! Quickly activate the Star River Profound Net to intercept this black sludge!"

The Federation’s 11th rank, Rank No.1 in the Communication Department of Star River University, Tang Jingcheng shouted urgently, rushing towards the nearest Spiritual Network Base Station to activate it.

But it was already too late.

Or rather... even if he moved faster, the Spiritual Network Base Station was destined not to activate.

At the entrance, a crisp sound of a coin flicking was heard.

Immediately, golden light shot out, swiftly covering every Spiritual Network Base Station.

Then, under the incredulous gaze of Tang Jingcheng and all the Communication Department students, the Spiritual Network Base Stations they had invested so much effort in were simply wrapped in golden light and disappeared.

The battle system established this way also collapsed from the start.

"What kind of evil technique is this!"

Tang Jingcheng’s face was full of shock and bewilderment.

At that moment, the black sludge had already reached them.

A freshman varsity team member inadvertently touched the black sludge.

In an instant, accompanied by his shrill cries for help, he was completely engulfed by the black sludge and reappeared in the next second in a corrupted form, turning to aim his spear at his former companions.

Next, the second, third, and fourth members of the team fell.

In the blink of an eye, Star River University lost a quarter of their members.

However, the black mud didn’t manage to push all the way through, as Guo Zhengyi, ranked fourteenth in the Federation, stepped up in time.

Over a hundred Daoist soldiers, each three meters tall, built like tanks, and shining with a metallic luster, formed a wall, emanating a protective golden glow that blocked the advancing black mud, giving his companions a few moments to breathe.

But despite Guo Zhengyi’s investment in over a hundred Daoist soldiers, they couldn’t hold for long.

Because Chen Nuoyi, holding the Dragon Emperor Coin, appeared.

The girl stood atop the black mud and aimed at the Daoist soldiers that could be considered a magical treasure, initiating the program for forced equivalent exchange.

Of course, it was the kind on credit.

The Dragon Emperor Coin burst with a strange golden light once more, and with a sweep of the light, over a hundred Daoist soldiers vanished, overwhelmingly powerful.

Looking at Guo Zhengyi’s bewildered expression, the girl felt a slight pang of pity and voluntarily said:

"Consider it a loan; I’ll return them to you when you surrender."

"I won’t surrender..."

Guo Zhengyi started to refute but saw the black mud surging again and could only retreat hastily.

As he retreated, several more comrades were swept into the black mud.

He and Tang Jingcheng, witnessing this scene, felt their scalps tingle, helpless.

This made the two instinctively look towards the back of the group, where a young woman with braided pigtails, wearing square black-framed glasses, holding a jade scroll looked like a bookworm.

Even at this moment, she was still earnestly reading the jade scroll in her hands.

"Senior Sister Leng, help us."

Despite being students of the same grade, Guo Zhengyi and Tang Jingcheng naturally called her Senior Sister.

Because this bookworm was none other than the strongest university student in the Federation, Leng Qianliu.

Upon hearing their call, the young woman with thick black-framed glasses finally lifted her head and noticed the relentlessly rampant black mud.

"Corruption Divine Kingdom... quite a large Corruption Divine Kingdom."

She adjusted her glasses, a hint of astonishment in her eyes beneath the lenses.

Guo Zhengyi, Tang Jingcheng: "..."

Come on, big sister, at a time like this, no need to marvel, just use whatever tricks you’ve got!

Luckily, Leng Qianliu was not too absorbed in her book to act. With a gentle wave of her fair hand, towers formed entirely of spiritual power rose from the ground.

There were seven base stations, each over twenty meters tall. They subtly formed an intricate array between their positions.

With the activation of the spiritual power base stations, all the spiritual power and Dao rhyme of the Ninth Layer converged towards Leng Qianliu, who stood at the center of the seven towers.

With this immense spiritual power and Dao rhyme enhancement, the country bumpkin girl with braided pigtails casually pointed towards the oncoming black mud.

A scarlet storm swept forth, colliding with the black mud.

The storm carried a bloody aura, an unmistakable Demon Dao technique, and within the scarlet storm was a faint hint of the Decaying Profound Light.

Once the scarlet storm clashed with the black mud, the latter’s progression paused again.

Moreover, to the surprise of Chen Nuoyi and others atop the black mud, an internal attrition emerged between the scarlet storm and the black mud, with the latter visibly decreasing in volume.

If left to exhaust each other, the black mud that had just rushed out beyond the Ninth Layer’s gates might very well be forced back!

This scene invigorated the remaining team members of Star River University.

"Senior Sister Leng, as expected of the youngest Daoist Grandmaster in Star River University’s history, to so effortlessly find a way to break the Corruption Divine Kingdom!"

Tang Jingcheng flattered with a beaming face.

Leng Qianliu adjusted her glasses and said,

"It’s not much, just creating a similar power by analyzing the properties of the black mud, barely managing to fend it off."

"I can’t do much if the black mud spreads further."

Guo Zhengyi said with admiration,

"Although Senior Sister Leng, you achieved this feat by leveraging the Divinity Transformation Inheritance ’Eye of Omniscience’ from the Daoist Technique Department, I recall that previous prodigies who mastered it couldn’t utilize this divine technique as you have."

"You and the Eye of Omniscience truly complement each other."

Leng Qianliu bashfully smiled, adjusting her glasses again to cover her embarrassment.

In contrast to the morale boost on the Star River University side, Su Yuan’s group was feeling a bit rattled.

Qi Hanyan clutched Su Yuan’s sleeve, nervously saying,

"Su Yuan, Su Yuan, indeed this Leng Qianliu is not someone to be trifled with."

"I remember her title is Celestial Wisdom Saintess, and seeing her today, she truly deserves her reputation."

"This person, relying on the Eye of Omniscience, seems capable of cracking and replicating even the divine techniques of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance, resembling your type of ability!"

"Do you have confidence?"

Su Yuan didn’t speak because a system prompt appeared before him.

[You are facing one of the top five Foundation Establishment Demon Talents in the world.]
