687. The Request of the Doomsday Supreme
"So, Doomsday Supreme, what exactly do you want my help with? Are you seeking my aid in becoming a Master of Chaos? I possess no such abilities," Lin Fei stated, shaking his head.
He had already discerned that the Doomsday Supreme's greatest aspiration was to ascend to the status of a Master of Chaos. His journey to Kunyu City to seek out Lin Fei had one purpose: to enlist Lin Fei's aid in achieving this lofty goal. However, did Lin Fei have the means to assist him in such an endeavor?
A gleam flickered in the Doomsday Supreme's eyes as he spoke firmly, "Supreme Lin, you do possess such capabilities! Currently, in all of chaos, aside from the Masters of Chaos, you alone can assist me. However, the Masters of Chaos would not help me, as I have nothing to offer that could entice them to lend their support. But it's different with you, Supreme Lin."
"I understand you've always desired Chaotic Behemoths, or more specifically, their essence," he continued. "I can provide you with what you seek, in exchange for your assistance. I ask that you accompany me to the Forbidden Tower, to attempt to reach its highest level and thereby gain an opportunity to transform my physical form—completely converting it into a Body of Chaos. If successful, even if I do not become a Master of Chaos, I would still be nearly there, having taken the most crucial step."
Finally, the Doomsday Supreme revealed his purpose and the favor he was requesting from Lin Fei.
Hearing this, the Clairvoyant Supreme was profoundly shocked and couldn't help but interject, "Doomsday Supreme, to attempt the Forbidden Tower is to risk obliteration."
"Obliteration?" Lin Fei turned to the Clairvoyant Supreme.
Understanding Lin Fei's query, the Clairvoyant Supreme nodded and explained, "Yes, the Forbidden Tower harbors perils that even an Invincible Supreme might not survive. Its origins are mysterious, believed to be created by an existence even greater than the Masters of Chaos, specifically to provide opportunities—or trials—for beings at the Supreme level. Masters of Chaos cannot enter; only Supremes are permitted. Each level passed grants certain benefits.
The tower comprises nine levels, and it is said that only an Invincible Supreme could potentially conquer the ninth level. To date, no Supreme has ever passed the ninth layer.
Rumors suggest that surpassing the ninth layer could result in a transformation from Supreme to Master of Chaos, with a significant chance of achieving that exalted status. However, the risks are considerable, as some Supremes have perished within.
Therefore, both you, Doomsday Supreme, and you, Supreme Lin, should consider carefully if you decide to challenge the Forbidden Tower."
The Clairvoyant Supreme found it somewhat baffling that the Doomsday Supreme was in such a hurry to venture into the Forbidden Tower. After all, even without achieving the status of a Master of Chaos, the Doomsday Supreme was virtually immortal, so long as he avoided provoking a Master of Chaos. Why risk it all for the elusive realm of a Master of Chaos?
Masters of Chaos are exceedingly rare across the chaos; many Supremes go their entire lifetimes without ever encountering one. As an Invincible Supreme, the Doomsday Supreme was already nearly on par with a Master of Chaos. What more could he desire that he would risk everything to venture into the Forbidden Tower?
Lin Fei turned his gaze to the Doomsday Supreme, curious to hear his explanation. Moreover, if the Doomsday Supreme sought to enlist his help or win him over, there had to be some significant enticement involved. Mere promises would not suffice for Lin Fei; he would not trust empty words or fanciful promises.
The Doomsday Supreme did not counter but simply nodded, acknowledging the danger within the Forbidden Tower.
"Indeed, the tower is perilous. I have already reached the ninth level but find myself unable to progress beyond it. That is why I have invited you, Supreme Lin. With your strength, also that of an Invincible Supreme, you could help me contend with the formidable Behemoth King that resides on the ninth level."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"No, if two of us enter, it will summon two Behemoth Kings. If you, Supreme Lin, could help me hold off both Behemoth Kings, I believe I could surpass the ninth level. Similarly, you might obtain the essence of these Behemoth Kings for yourself. It would be a mutually beneficial arrangement. What do you think?" the Doomsday Supreme proposed.
Lin Fei's eyes narrowed sharply. "What did you say? There's a Behemoth King on the ninth level of the Forbidden Tower? The same Behemoth King that even Masters of Chaos dare not provoke?"
The Doomsday Supreme was indeed talking about the Behemoth King. But was it truly the Behemoth King? If it was, what could possibly hold it back? Two Behemoth Kings could even overwhelm a Master of Chaos. How could they, mere Supremes—even if Invincible—stand against two Behemoth Kings?
No wonder the Doomsday Supreme admitted he could not pass the ninth level. It was practically an impossible task, akin to courting death. How could anyone realistically conquer the ninth level of the Forbidden Tower?
Seeing Lin Fei's expression, the Doomsday Supreme knew what he was thinking. He shook his head slightly and said, "Supreme Lin, if I dared to come here, it is because I am fully prepared. Moreover, I have attempted the ninth level of the Forbidden Tower countless times and have not perished. Doesn't that speak volumes?
Many do not understand what awaits at the ninth level of the Forbidden Tower, but I do. Indeed, there resides a Behemoth King, but it is different from the true Behemoth Kings. These are aberrant versions of the Behemoth Kings—beings that were on the path to becoming a Behemoth King but failed due to various reasons, leading to their aberration. Parts of their bodies are indeed that of a Behemoth King, but there is a significant gap compared to a true Behemoth King.
However, they are still much stronger than any of us Invincible Supremes, though not to the extent that they can effortlessly crush or kill us. Yet, their physical essence is genuinely that of a Behemoth King, making the essence derived from them far more potent than that of ten, or even dozens of top-tier Chaotic Behemoths."
After explaining, the Doomsday Supreme fell silent, waiting quietly for Lin Fei to make a decision.
Lin Fei was silent, not responding immediately. He was considering whether everything the Doomsday Supreme had said was true. The Doomsday Supreme was already an Invincible Supreme, and at such a level, there was little reason to lie.
At the level of Invincible Supremes, schemes were largely meaningless. The Doomsday Supreme had approached Lin Fei openly, seeking mutual benefit.
"Could I really make it through the ninth level?" Lin Fei suddenly asked. Since the Forbidden Tower offered the potential to transform one's body into that of a Chaos entity, Lin Fei was indeed interested.
"Of course, as long as you can handle those two Behemoth Kings, you too can attempt to traverse the ninth level and undergo the bodily transformation," the Doomsday Supreme replied. "Besides, even if you fail, it won't mean much. With your strength, Supreme Lin, even if you fail, there's no doubt you'd survive. You can leave the Forbidden Tower at any time."
As the Doomsday Supreme finished speaking, Lin Fei suddenly looked up, his decision made.
