Immortal Ascension Tower

Chapter 10 - (Title At The End)

As the gates opened, the darkness inside the first floor dwindled a bit. Light slowly creeped in, thus allowing Cheng Hao to finally gaze at the figure's outlines.

Six glowing eyes followed by a long, snake-like body charged towards the outside world. Suddenly, a part of the creature's face was inundated by the golden light from the Immortal Ascension Tower.

The head resembled that of a dragon, a completely black dragon, except it didn't have a mouth.

Instead, a small opening similar to a hole was there, dripping poison. The six eyes were all glinting with fury and hatred. If looks could kill (Which in this beast's case it wasn't that far from the truth), Cheng Hao would already have been turned to ashes and would have been blown away by the wind.

The young boy smiled in his mind and began to count calmly "1... 2... 3... 4..."

Seeing the enraged expression on the monster's face, Cheng Hao closed his eyes, smiled gently and waved his left hand: a stream of white energy appeared, it was just like a white flame and it looked as if it could freeze todeath anything that crossed its path.

He waved his right hand: a stream of black energy appeared it was just like a black flame and it looked as if it could burn to ashes everything in its path.

After witnessing that, the monstrous head stopped where it stood, his expression one of terror. The beast's disbelief and astonishment were clear from the fact its mouth kept opening and closing without making a sound, even its eyes had opened so wide they seemed to be about to fall out.

"5... 6... 7... 8..."

Cheng Hao lifted his head and the only thing now visible on his face were his two eyes.

The left eye looked like a vortex to another world, wherein seas of blood, mountain of corpses and a cold golden sun appeared. The corpses were constantly withering, whereas the golden sun kept growing more and more majestic with each passing second.

Cheng Hao's left eye was something that could keep people awake at night and anyone who glanced in it would start withering just like those corpses in the vision... His right eye also seemed to change somehow, but it looked like the thing inside was still sealed and needed more strength to be able to break free.

"9... 10... 11... 12..."

Seeing that, the monster shrieked and jumped back into the tower, even going as far as retreating as much as it could into the room.

Let alone coming out, it even closed the gate himself! The monster's voice was now feeble even, as if it had run a long distance away!

"Cheater! Cheater! Those black and white flame-like gases... That illusion in your left eye!" The black monster cried, its voice filled with despair and unwillingness.

"13... 14... 15... 16..." Cheng Hao smiled, the laughter that he had kept repressed for the past few minutes needed all his control to stop it from bulging out.

"It-It was youuuu!" The beast had long since forgotten that the person in front of him was only an Inferior stage cultivator and had been scared witless.

"17... 18... 19... 20!" Cheng Hao's smile grew even wider as a fierce grin found it way on his face. He waved his hands, blinked his eyes and the abilities disappeared.

"Left White Flame That Steal Life, Glory, and Right Black Flame That Delivers Death, Oblivion! Even the Golden Sun Devouring Countless Corpses! And that right eye... Is that the Black Beast of Nightmares? You... you fooled me! You are no Cheng Hao!"

The voice paused "Xu Ling! Evil Saint! What are you doing here???"

Cheng Hao smiled and couldn't help but feel a bit of pity towards the monster, locked inside the tower against his will.
