Chapter Seventy-Three: Entering the Tower of Heaven

The fair-faced man sprang forward in a sudden pounce, stripping off his clothes even before he fully reached the air, while the spear beneath him thrust ahead like a bristling azure dragon, head held high and chest out, charging straight on.

Judging by how swiftly he shed his garments, the fellow must have been honed by long practice. Naked and powerfully built, he reached the old man’s companion in a single burst, roared, and—

“Ah...”

The companion, who had been locked in fervent ecstasy with the old man, jolted all over in convulsive spasms and let out a long, satisfied moan. “I’ll... I’ll f---ing kill you... for stealing my little sheep!”

The fair-faced man continued thrusting fiercely, shouting with unabashed delight. His handsome features had twisted out of shape, showing just how deep his resentment ran.

“My dear little one, you’re awfully ferocious today, but I like it... harder... harder!”

At that moment the companion could no longer control the rhythm himself; everything depended on the violent man behind him, whose hips drove the motion and quickened his forward and backward thrusts.

“What in the blazes...”

Deep within the void, two great demons witnessed this savage, primal spectacle. Their scaled faces twitched uncontrollably, and even the crimson-flamed one, disgusted beyond measure, blurted out an oath whose meaning even it did not know.

“Ugh...”

The azure-scaled giant felt his stomach lurch violently, as though even last night’s meal was about to come back up. He clapped a hand over his mouth, but failed to contain it, and a mouthful sprayed everywhere, splashing even the crimson-flamed demon beside him.

The moment the filth stained his body, the crimson-flamed demon finally lost control and retched as well. The azure-scaled giant at its side was again dragged into the misery, and the two supreme demon lords hovered in the void like pregnant women in their tenth month, vomiting one after another without end.

Below them, a crowd of more than ten experts had all collapsed to the ground, bodies jerking, foam at their mouths. At this rate, one more breath and they would be dead on the spot.

Cold Heaven, however, had not been driven completely mad. He merely lay on the ground with his eyes shut, his mind wandering far from the mortal world.

Jude had recovered his true form, and hearing the rhythmic sounds of those shameful thrusts nearby, his shapeless body spasmed and shuddered. He even mumbled curses between clenched teeth. “Damn it all... if I keep vomiting, there’ll be nothing left in my gall bladder...”

“I’ll f---ing kill you!”

The fair-faced man panted like bellows, slapping wildly at the rear of the other’s body. With each sway of his waist came a wet, slapping sound, echoing in a steady rhythm across the lotus pond.

By now the goat-like elder had already turned around; his long, black-furred legs were tightly coiled around his companion’s powerful waist, his arms looped about the man’s neck, his broad mouth gnawing at random while he moaned in evident comfort.

At the sight of his little sheep in such bliss, the fair-faced man’s eyes flared with fury. With a tragic roar, pink light burst around his body. A sword-like cry rang out from between his legs, and with a violent lift of his waist he hoisted the two entwined figures high into the air.

“Damn it!”

Cold Heaven, who had finally steadied his mind by circulating the Supreme Mystic Scripture of Heaven-Observing, opened his eyes and immediately saw this shocking scene. He could not help but curse aloud.

Looking at the fair-faced man and the long spear flashing with pink light as it lifted the pair high overhead, he could not help comparing it with his own, and he sighed inwardly at his own inferiority. A trace of envy even arose in his heart.

“I told you not to betray me! Now I’ll send your treasure straight to the heavens!”

Tears streamed down the fair-faced man’s face as he howled in grief. Pink true energy exploded from beneath his feet, and with the two still locked together behind him, he shot upward into the sky.

Rising into the air, his spear seemed to swell by more than a foot. Pink radiance flowed over it, and its tip drove tightly into the other’s rear. With a thunderous shout, he thrust his waist forward with all his might, driving it completely in.

“Ah...”

The companion, who had been lost in pleasure, suddenly took a devastating blow from behind. He let out a heart-rending scream, tears actually spilling from the corners of his eyes. His legs clamped shut at once, and with bloodshot eyes he began thrashing his waist rapidly in an attempt to relieve the agony.

Thus the three naked men, as close as if glued together, continued violently coupling even as they shot upward like a sword. In that brief span, the fair-faced man had thrust no fewer than a thousand times.

At what seemed like the peak, his whole body shook. He gave a savage howl, and a stream of thick white fluid burst from where the two were joined. The enormous force sent the two still-locked men soaring even higher into the heavens.

The white torrent rose like a fountain, carrying the pair to the very summit of the sky.

After pouring out a vast amount of essence, the fair-faced man’s strong body instantly withered away. In the blink of an eye, he was reduced to skin and bones, then fell with a splash into the emerald pool. When the ripples settled, a chain of bubbles rose to the surface.

After the fair-faced man reached his climax, the companion’s body likewise jolted violently, and his own essence gushed out. The goat-like elder, already in a state of near blissful transcendence, was once more sent skyward, and he let out a drawn-out cry as a tuft of beard burst apart, revealing the satisfaction and delight in his heart.

“Plop...”

The companion also fell into the pool. Yet the instant he landed, a naked figure shot out, arms spread wide to clutch him into an embrace, while cursing all the while. “F---ing kill you... f---ing kill you...”

The companion was still limp and drained after the act, and before he could even see who it was, he was dragged straight into the green pool water.

“Hahaha... my treasure, you’re marvelous! Make me feel so good... so good...”

The old man fell from the sky, his ancient eyes glazed with longing, his speech slurred and incoherent. He looked as though he had still not had enough.

“What the heck... if this doesn’t stop, I’m going to have to swallow what I just vomited and throw it up again, or else I’ll truly be trapped between life and death.”

“Get lost.”

Hearing Jude’s muttering, Cold Heaven nearly collapsed again. He lashed out with a kick between Jude’s legs, sending him howling as he sailed beautifully through the air.

Water splashed into frothy waves, and Jude sank into the pool and vanished from sight.

Only then did the crowd of experts exhale in unison. They wiped the filth from the corners of their mouths, all of them solemn-faced as though they had just endured a great battle.

Each of them wiped cold sweat from their brows and remained motionless, staring silently at the green water, afraid that the three lewd maniacs might emerge again to cause further havoc.

After waiting a while and seeing the surface remain calm without a single sign of the three, they finally let out long, relieved sighs.

Cold Heaven steadied his emotions and ordered Jude to dissolve into nothingness, preparing to head for the Heaven-Ascending Tower and enter the Azure Sea and Jade Sky. Jude clutched his crotch with a grimace and muttered unwillingly, “So I’m supposed to cover the rear for you, huh?”

“What did you say?” Cold Heaven fixed him with a glare and lifted a foot as if to kick.

“Boss, boss, I mean that the three fellows from earlier should be cut down at the root, so they won’t bring disaster to the mortal world later!” Seeing Cold Heaven about to strike again, Jude hurriedly changed the subject and dissolved into invisibility.

Because Cold Heaven stood at a distance, and because the attention of all the experts had been seized by the three obscene troublemakers, no one noticed his presence. Thus he slipped away unseen and quietly made for the Heaven-Ascending Tower.

After all that turmoil, the people from the Demon God realm were also left floating weakly in the air. The strongman who had wielded the pair of war hammers could no longer support himself aloft; his tall and imposing body trembled nonstop before he finally lost his footing and fell from the sky.

Just then Cold Heaven passed by beneath him.

“Boss, can this one be eaten?” Jude licked his lips and asked hopefully.

“As long as it doesn’t expose us, do as you please.”

Jude burst into a grin. A formless giant tongue shot out at once, piercing the big man’s head and dragging out his soul to devour it.

The hammer-wielding giant’s eyes went dead and gray. The two war hammers slipped from his hands and fell into the water, and then his body dropped as well, sending up a spray of waves.

The moment he fell in, the next instant two intertwined figures burst from the water again.

“I’ll f---ing kill you! I’ll f---ing kill you!”

The two figures were linked from above and below as they shot out of the surface. The one on top was none other than the fair-faced man, while the one below was the old man’s companion.

The instant they emerged, the fair-faced man resumed shouting, his hips moving up and down at a furious pace as he blasted the other’s rear with violent force.

Plop!

The newly recovered experts were struck once more by the brutal shock and collapsed helplessly to the ground.

“Damn it, boss, I can’t stand it anymore. I’m going to devour their souls, so they won’t dirty this beautiful place!”

Seeing the two rise from the dead again, Jude was ready to rush over and finish them off on the spot.

“Hurry and go. Don’t expose yourself.” Cold Heaven also frowned deeply, urging Jude to leave at once so he would not suffer further inside.

Seeing Cold Heaven’s grim expression, Jude did not insist. He carried Cold Heaven with him and fled toward the distant purple towers.

After another round of frantic torment, the fair-faced man and his partner sank once more beneath the water. No one knew exactly how those two managed such activity underwater, only that the pool surface would occasionally churn violently, as though great fish were stirring it from below.

Standing beside one of the Heaven-Ascending Towers, Cold Heaven looked back and muttered with a touch of speechlessness, “I truly do not understand how two men can make such an earthshaking spectacle.”

“Heh heh... then why doesn’t Boss find me a sister-in-law? Wouldn’t that make things much easier later...” Jude said with a wicked grin, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

At the mention of a sister-in-law, the image of Fire Dance flashed through Cold Heaven’s mind, and a warm smile tugged at his lips. Yet the moment he thought of the intimate act, his thoughts instantly shifted to the enchanting, delicate face of Lantern Jade Butterfly.

He shook his head, wondering what had come over him. After settling that faint stirring of desire, he began to study the towering structure before him.

At a glance he noticed a white jade stele standing beside the tower.

Two lines of ancient, elegant writing were carved upon it, but Cold Heaven could not read them. This was hardly strange. Yan Nanfei understood them only because, since childhood, someone had taught him these archaic characters, and thus he knew what they meant.

Cold Heaven, however, had arrived on Crimson Peak Continent only a few months ago. Naturally he would not know such old script.

In truth, the two lines on the stone stele read: Azure Sea and Jade Sky, embracing the Nine Heavens; traveling ten thousand li upon the waves reveals the orchid and maple.

Cold Heaven asked Jude about the writing, but Jude also said he did not recognize it. So Cold Heaven shifted his gaze to the open tower gate and stepped inside without hesitation.

At the same time, the experts on the shore could no longer endure the fair-faced man’s nauseating antics. One by one they rose into the air, risking entrapment in the great formation, and flew toward the Heaven-Ascending Tower.

“Brother Crimson Flame, forgive me for not accompanying you any further. I shall take my leave first.”

The azure-scaled giant’s face was somewhat pale as he spoke.

“Brother, I had the same thought. If we stay here any longer, our state of mind may well collapse.”

Crimson Flame’s face twitched as he activated his escape light and departed.
