Cursed Immortality

Chapter 804: Tower of Leo (2)



The Tower of Leo didn't give Jacob any options like the Tower of Taurus; it directly allowed him to enter.

He didn't know which difficulty Samantha had chosen. Still, from the information he had gathered, he understood that nearly all the heirs of the Legendary Kings were here to obtain an Ascension Permit for their respective Kings. In comparison, the Legendary Vestiges were not as crucial in the eyes of these Kings.

Samantha was in a similar situation. According to the memories of the elf, she had been prevented from advancing to the Legendary Rank so she could enter the Path of Legend and acquire an Ascension Permit.

However, the competition between the peak Legendary Kings was intense. All of them desired an Ascension Permit, yet there were only twelve available in the Path of Legend, and that was if they succeeded in passing the most complex Star King Difficulty Trials.

If even one of them failed, it would mean one less Ascension Permit for their Legendary King. Thus, the heirs were equipped with powerful treasures-some even borrowing Fable

Legendary State treasures, which were among the most critical trump cards of any organization.

These treasures were strictly controlled, as creating a Legendary Rank treasure required enormous Legendary Rank resources. Even then, the failure rate was high due to the Zodiac Plains Laws.

The two Fable Legendary State treasures Jacob had acquired in the lightning mountain range were only at the initial Fable Legendary State Rank. Yet, they were deadly enough to ignite a massive war among Legendary Rank experts. Even Legendary Nobles would become involved and fight over them.

At that moment, Jacob finally stepped into the first level of the Tower of Leo. He was surprised to find himself in an endless white space, where many ethereal golden orbs floated and moved like shooting stars.

Jacob had no idea what the trial entailed, but those orbs were filled with powerful soul force. He quickly opened Cursed Immortality to learn the details of the challenge.

Tower of Leo Level One: Soul Light's Precision

Challenge: Strike the moving soul light orbs with your soul force and destroy them with a single strike within thirty minutes!

Soul Light Orbs Required to pass this trial: 0/10,000

Time: 29M:54S

Upon reading the details of this challenge, Jacob's eyes narrowed as he observed the Soul Light Orbs zipping around the endless white space, each filled with an intense soul force. But he suddenly realized, as his eyes flickered, 'Now I understand! The soul force is normally invisible, but those orbs are golden, and I can see two types of energies mixed in them: one is obviously soul force, while the other should be light element energy!

'It's just like how I use my soul force to integrate my mana and make it more powerful! So, it wasn't just something new, but the soul force could be imbued with elemental mana, become more powerful, and cause more damage! It's like...like Soul attack!'

Jacob was elated as he could sense the orbs' every movement with his own soul force; his perception heightened even more.

The next moment, he extended his hand slightly, willing his soul force to surge forward. It flowed from within him like a silent current, undetectable to ordinary vision, but Jacob felt its presence vividly—an extension of his will, ready to bend to his command.

However, Jacob knew that pure soul force alone wasn't enough to shatter these orbs. A subtle smirk tugged at his lips. "Let's turn it up a notch."

The next moment, ethereal violet lightning flickered around his hand, spiraling through the air like ghostly tendrils.

This wasn't ordinary lightning; it was pure stellar energy, giving it a celestial glow that felt both delicate and devastating. This time, he had no intention of converging it into aura or spirit.

Jacob focused on the invisible strands of his soul force, willing them to interact with the violet lightning.

Slowly but surely, the intangible force began to wrap itself around the ethereal lightning, and together, they fused into something sharper and far more dangerous.

The lightning took form under his will-tiny, crackling bullets of violet energy-each no larger than marble but teeming with concentrated power.

With a flicker of his mind, he directed the first of these lightning bullets toward a nearby Soul Light Orb.

The ethereal orb zipped through the air like a shooting star, unaware of the impending danger. The violet lightning bullet struck it in an instant, and a silent explosion of energy followed. The orb disintegrated, its light snuffed out as if swallowed by the void.

Jacob's smirk deepened. He had figured out the perfect way to annihilate these orbs.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He extended both hands now, mentally crafting dozens of lightning bullets, each one formed from the union of his invisible soul force and the dazzling violet energy.

The orbs darted unpredictably through the air, but Jacob's mind was faster. With every thought, another bullet materialized and launched at a target.

Despite their swift movements, the tiny orbs of light stood no chance. One after another, they burst like fragile bubbles in the face of Jacob's precise strikes. Each impact was marked by a brief flash of violet light as his lightning surged through, disintegrating the orbs in a cascade

of cosmic energy.

The process was fluid, almost effortless for Jacob as if the combination of his soul force and violet lightning had been destined to merge. He barely moved, standing calmly in the white expanse while his will danced through the space, directing a symphony of destruction.

As the number of Soul Light Orbs dwindled, Jacob couldn't help but feel a rush of satisfaction. His power had grown exponentially since stepping into the Path of Legend, and this trial- meant to test precision and soul strength-was no more than an opportunity to sharpen his already lethal skills.

Within minutes, the last of the orbs was destroyed, shattered by a final violet lightning bullet Jacob conjured with a flick of his fingers.

The space around him fell into silence, the once-glowing orbs now completely obliterated, leaving behind only the faintest trace of their soul energy in the air.

Jacob withdrew his soul force, letting the crackling tendrils of violet lightning dissipate into the atmosphere. His gaze remained calm, though his mind was already on the next challenge, the next trial that awaited him in the Tower of Leo.

A corporeal door metalized before him, and he stepped inside without hesitation. The environment shifts dramatically as Jacob steps into a vast, shimmering maze. The space feels otherworldly, dominated by towering walls of radiant, golden glass that reflect beams of light. The entire maze seems to pulse with energy, as if alive with the essence of the sun

itself.

The floor beneath Jacob's feet was smooth and reflective, made of a polished golden material that could mirror his every move.

Stretching into the distance were large reflective surfaces-mirrors-that rose up like monoliths, their surfaces constantly shifting and rotating. These mirrors seemed to be arranged in intricate patterns, creating a network of light paths that flickered with an almost blinding brilliance.

High above, a solitary, radiant solar orb hovers in the air, casting beams of intense light throughout the maze. These beams of light were traveling from mirror to mirror, bouncing off the reflective surfaces and forming a glowing web of crisscrossing light trails. Jacob quickly looked at the Cursed Immorality to see what this trial was about.

Tower of Leo Level Two: Solar Reflection

Challenge: You must navigate through the mirror maze filled with reflective surfaces reflecting beams of light off these mirrors to unlock doors and pathways without getting injured by the dangers within!
