I alone am the Honoured One!

Mm...

Zhao Tian stood still for a moment to raise his gaze looking at the imposing black door in front of him.

"The last floor of this black pagoda..." he murmured under his breath, his gaze narrowing.

*thoom* With a powerful kick, Zhao Tian sent the door flying, obliterating it into countless pieces.

The thick, ancient wood splintered and shattered into countless pieces, the fragments scattering across the enormous chamber.

Dust swirled in the air, catching the dim light as Zhao Tian stepped across the line, his gaze sweeping over the scene before him.

But what caught Zhao Tian's attention were the bodies lying, scattered around the room... gigantic forms, each the size of a small mountain.

Hm? Giant humans?

However, with the loud sound he created just now, one by one the lying bodies began to wake up.

Their heads resembled that of a minotaur, bore thick horns that curled menacingly, while their faces were a grotesque mix of human and beast, with sharp teeth jutting from their mouths and glowing yellow eyes half-hidden beneath heavy brows.

The floor trembled under their immense weight as they slowly rose to their feet, their bodies stretching as they stood to their full height—fifty meters tall

Zhao Tian raised his gaze to look around at the number of monsters "They are in the Monarch Astral Stage... a little disappointing."

*swish* A sword with a black blade and purple hilt appeared in his hand and he teleported up in the air, plunging his sword right into the head of one of the monsters. find more stories on NovelFire|lempyr

*sleesh* "GUAAARGHHH!"

The creature let out a blood-curdling scream writhing in agony, but Zhao Tian had an indifferent face and a black glint flickered through his eyes.

*woosh* Dark flames burst out of the sword, incinerating the monster into cinders and he landed on the floor.

He turned to look over his shoulder at the remaining monsters.

"Next..."

...

"This is easy. Even my women could clear this easily..."

*thud* As the last monster's head rolled on the floor, Zhao Tian retracted the sword back into his storage ring.

"Now, let's see what are the rewards for clearing this tower..."

He lifted his head to look at the two shining books which were levitating in front of him.

Smiling, he reached out and took the two books in his hands.

"Hmm..."

Huh? A flash of surprise passed through Zhao Tian's face looking at the names on both of the books.

"This is..."

*flick8 However, at this time, another golden light appeared and Zhao Tianb looked at the artifact in front of him.

As the information about the artifact flowed in his mind, a smile stretched across his lips "Oh, this is quite helpful... even though it is a one-time use."

...

"Wahaha, Brother Tian!! Why were you cheating on us?"

Later that day, Ning Yueli, sitting comfortably on Zhao Tian's lap, grabbed his shoulders and playfully shook him, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Zhang Yuan smiled dryly and replied "She was just messing around. She is not my girlfriend..."

"She is actually the daughter of the Emperor of the Ebon Luohe High Star whom I meet today..."

"She is a mischievous woman and tends to act like that. Don't mind her."

He paused and turned to look at Xia Shenyi, Zhao Suyin, Zhao Ying, and Chi Miya who were looking at the book intently.

"Shenyi?"

With a deep frown, Xia Shenyi spoke "I couldn't understand anything... I don't why, I can see the letters but I can't read them."

"It seems like there is a mind confusing spell placed on the book. So none other than the Honoured One can use it.."

Zhao Tian took the book from Xia Shenyi's hand and read the cover of the book "Honoured One Physique Cultivation Technique."

"if this is in the rewards for the 9th tower of the black pagoda... we are certain that this artifact is created by the First Honoured one."

Xia Shenyi gave a nod and spoke "That makes sense because the artifact branded itself that you are the Master, so now we can be 100 percent sure that this artifact is created by the First Honoured One."

Zhao Tian let out a sigh and leaned back on the couch, glancing at the book once more. "You can't even read it… but I can. Though, honestly, it's a bit confusing."

"I skimmed through it earlier," Zhao Tian continued, "and it contains techniques for certain elementals, some information about Empyreal flames, and Heavenly Lightning."

"And yeah, another one...."

He took a shabby book from his storage ring and tossed it into Xia Shenyi's hand "What about this? This is the second reward I got on the floor."

Huh? Looking at the shabby book in her hands, Xia Shenyi was dumbfounded and Zhao Suyin who was beside her, giggled.

"Tian'er, seems like you gave the wrong book... this is blank."

A frown crept on Zhao Tian's face and saw the book, but he could clearly see what was written on the cover of the book "But I can see it..."

"Maybe like that book, this can also be only seen by the Honoured one?"

Hearing his words, Chi Miya who was listening, nodded her head "That must be the case... and what is this book about Tian?"

"The process of refining the Honoured One Physique..."

HUHH? Xia Shenyi gasped in shock and her gaze trembled "Refining the Honoured One physique...?"

"Y-Your physique is already powerful and if you refine it... that is a cheat code."

Zhao Tian reached out to take the book from her hands "But the thing is Shenyi, there are nine stages in this refinement and this book has only two stages... the other seven are missing."

With a thoughtful expression, Xia Shenyi mumbled "I see..."

Zhao Tian could only sigh "But damn... I still couldn't fully understand... because the wording is a bit weird."

Zhao Ying tilted her head in confusion "Wording is a bit weird?"

Nodding his head, Zhao Tian opened the first page of the book and began to read...

"Feel thou the breath of the heavens, and let thy soul be as a river, flowing in harmony with the eternal."

"With but a word, thou shalt part the seas, and with but a thought, the heavens shall tremble."

"At the end of this path, thou art no longer bound by fate nor destiny, for thou shalt be the master of both."

-_- Huh? The women were bewildered to hear this.

What the hell is that?

Seeing their dumbfounded faces, Zhao Tian shrugged his hands "Maybe this is the ancient way of speaking or something? I don't know..."

"Well anyway, the third reward is..."
