*Boom… Boom… Boom…*

*Roar… Roar… Roar…*

The exchange of attacks between Ling Yun and the manifestation of the heavens left the situation on the 61st floor completely chaotic. Almost every area turned black because of the strikes of his lightning tribulation and killed all the beasts on that floor; even the tower repeatedly experienced violent tremors.

All the cultivators, be they humans or beasts, did not care at all about the items that appeared on the floor. Their gazes were only focused on Ling Yun, who was still standing upright in the air while repeatedly swinging his chaos dragon broadsword. The dragons behind him continued to release loud roars accompanied by numerous black lights from their mouths.

The expressions of the beasts and mythical beasts born from the supreme realm were solemn, especially those of the seniors, such as Long Qingguan, Long Yingtai, Qi Hong, Qi Qi, Zhu Chuqing, and Zhu Jian. Even in their realm, they rarely witnessed such a fierce battle, and when it did occur, the intensity of the battle was too overwhelming for them to directly witness. Explore more at freewebnovel

Moreover, Ling Yun’s strength was clearly far below theirs, especially since his cultivation had just broken through to the lower heavenly god realm. Not to mention, his opponents were not humans, beasts, or demons but the heavens themselves. During their lifetime, they had faced their lightning tribulation many times, but they had never once faced such a powerful lightning tribulation that forced the heavens to manifest themselves.

All the immortals were also horrified by the power of Ling Yun’s lightning tribulation, and they weren’t confident that they could survive for so long if their cultivation were still at his level.

Zhou Yu immediately moved into the void and collected all the items scattered on the ground, especially since they would be useful for Ling Yun.

Huang Lingzhu was lost in thought as she thought about Jin Zhongli and Bai Zhongyi’s previous words, which she had never realized before. Their words forced her to reflect on her past actions of killing Long Hun, and she realized that there was something fishy behind the incident. ‘What actually happened at that time? Could it be that he deliberately let me kill him? Even though he was still imperfect at that time, he was still the primordial chaos dragon, and his chaos abilities could nullify my time abilities. Back then, he didn’t give me any resistance, and he smiled contentedly just before his death. Sigh! I’m sure he was hiding something from me on purpose, and I’m sure Huang Hao knows the truth. Unfortunately, I could never find her, even though I have been looking for her for billions of years. Once their fight is over, I will go looking for her again to find out the truth, or I will never be at peace.’

“Zhou Yu! Bring all of them to the 62nd floor now!”

Ling Yun’s shout startled all of them, and they were confused about his purpose in asking the spirit of the void to do that. Zhou Yu hurriedly gathered all the items and appeared in front of them, but before she could carry out his order, Huang Lingzhu had already teleported all of them to the 62nd floor right in front of the gate leading to the 63rd floor.

Ling Yun immediately swung his broadsword toward the manifestation of the heavens after discovering that everyone had left. “Chaos Dragon Rend!”

In that instant, a huge and powerful black crescent-shaped Qi shot toward the manifestation of the heavens, and all the dragons behind him also shot ten black Qi balls toward his enemy, causing its body to disintegrate once again.

Wasting no time, Ling Yun pulled his lightning soul back and shot up to the 62nd floor, and the six female beasts rushed to follow him.

The manifestation of the heavens, having just recovered its body, immediately vanished and chased after them, causing the sky on the 61st floor to brighten once more. However, Ling Yun’s lightning tribulation caused the sky on the 62nd floor to turn dark upon its reappearance, shocking the spectators who had never witnessed such an absurd phenomenon before. ‘What crazy shit! No cultivator ever dared to move during their breakthrough! The heavens are also obsessed with killing him!’

The manifestation of the heavens immediately attacked Ling Yun again using countless white lightning, but he no longer responded to its attack. Instead, he flew around the entire area of the floor, using his lightning tribulation to kill all the beasts present there. ‘Let’s see how long you can last! Since you are so eager to kill me, I will use you to get rid of these beasts.’

The group of devil races on several floors below looked surprised because the tower kept shaking, which made it difficult for them to keep their balance while fighting the beasts, forcing them to attack them from the air.

“What exactly happened in this tower?” Xie Shaoguang asked the two elders.

Xie Yong shook his head and pointed up. “It seems like there’s a fierce battle going on on one of the upper floors, especially since Xie Min and I can sense a terrifying aura from there. Unfortunately, a formation isolates each floor, making it impossible for us to investigate the source.”

“Young master, we should focus on slaughtering these beasts, or we will waste too much time.” Xie Min spoke to him.

Xie Shaoguang nodded in agreement. “All right, let’s slaughter these annoying weak beasts.”

On the last safe floor of the mysterious tower, two middle-aged men who were cultivating suddenly opened their eyes. One of them immediately questioned the other. “Can you sense that, Big Brother?”

They were none other than Feng Tian and Feng Gaoxin, the long-lost husbands of Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie, also the fathers of Feng Ruxue and Feng Ling’er. (A/N: Their first appearance in chapter 1052 – The Golden Dragon King.)

Feng Tian nodded to his little brother. “The aura just now clearly belongs to a powerful beast, and the beast is clearly stronger than Wang Jinlong. In this universe, there is only one beast stronger than him, but he died billions of years ago.”

“The primordial chaos dragon.”

“That’s right.” Feng Tian replied with a nod. “The primordial chaos dragon is directly or indirectly the ancestor of all beasts, including the golden dragon king, so there is no beast stronger than him in this universe. Had he lived in the past, the destruction of our phoenix world and the deaths of our race members by those four evil mythical beasts would not have occurred. Unfortunately, it happened several thousand years ago, and we cannot turn back time to prevent it from happening.”

Feng Gaoxin himself still had a lot of regret in his heart because of that incident. “Do you think the beast on the lower floors is the next primordial chaos dragon?”

“I can’t say for sure.” Feng Tian shook his head in response. “Its aura is indeed stronger than Wang Jinlong’s, but I find it difficult to believe that the primordial chaos dragon can be reborn in this universe. If he could be reborn, he would have been reborn long ago, and the older beasts would have heard about him long ago, but there have never been any signs of his return.”

Feng Tian then stood up and hurried toward the gate leading to the 91st floor, prompting Fang Gaoxin to follow him.

Gu Changsheng suddenly appeared beside them. “Are you guys considering challenging the next floor? The cultivation of all the beasts on the next floor should be in the high supreme god realm, and we might be able to defeat them if we work together.”

“Do you believe we can get through it?” Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows in response to Feng Tian’s question. “Moreover, you don’t want to leave this tower, right? If you go through this gate with us, you can’t return to the safe zone and must leave this tower.”

“Well, that’s true.” Gu Changsheng touched the gate. “Honestly, I don’t want to leave this tower because I don’t have anyone out there, but I harbor curiosity about what is behind this gate, so I’m itching to open it.”

“Why don’t we try opening it?” Gu Changsheng and Feng Tian turned to Feng Gaoxin. “It’s fine if we just open it and peek inside, right? As long as we don’t step foot onto the next floor, we can still stay in this safe zone until our cultivation breaks through to the three immortal realms.”

After Gu Changsheng and Feng Tian thought about it, they decided to open the gate a little and peek inside. However, their bodies stiffened, and their expressions turned to shock, particularly when they saw nothing inside except a stretch of darkness.

“Why is there only darkness on the next floor?” Feng Gaoxin inquired in a high tone.

Feng Tian immediately pulled the gate and closed it. “The darkness behind this gate is not ordinary darkness, but it is the void. No wonder the humans who once reached this floor never went on to challenge the next floor. If they force themselves to enter the void, they will become lost in it due to their lack of understanding.”

“Doesn’t that mean no one will be able to go beyond this floor?” Gu Changsheng gloomily asked.

“Not really.” Feng Tian shook his head. “There is one living being who can pass through it to go to the top of the tower, and that person is the spirit of the void.”
