Chapter 501: Chapter 498: Seventeenth Floor_1
Before Yang Chen made a move, these Sand Soldiers attacked first.
Unfortunately, these thirteen Sand Soldiers, which once left Yang Chen with no choice, were no longer able to pose any threat to him at this stage. Yang Chen’s strength had increased to the Half-step Yuan Martial Realm. Although it was just a small realm’s improvement, his strength increased considerably.
Even if the strength of these thirteen Sand Soldiers had also improved due to his increased cultivation level, it would still be of no use.
In an instant, the thunder rumbled in the space, accompanied by the crackling sound of lightning. The layers of lightning were much thicker than what Yang Chen once wielded. This was all thanks to Yang Chen reaching the Half-step Yuan Martial Realm.
Just in the blink of an eye, the entire thirteenth floor was filled with thunder and lightning.
These lightning strikes attacked one after another, relentlessly tearing apart the thirteen Sand Soldiers. In cooperation with the Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear, in just about a cup of tea’s time…
By the time he regained his senses, all thirteen Sand Soldiers had turned into piles of sand without exception!
Yang Chen successfully cleared the thirteenth floor.
When the thirteenth floor was passed, the surrounding desert disappeared, and Yang Chen began to absorb the unique reward of the Trial Tower, the ‘Creation Divine Aura’.
This was also the reason why Yang Chen was so eager to challenge the Trial Tower and why he had not stepped into the Yuan Martial Realm.
This Creation Divine Aura, unlike ordinary items, was something that could directly increase the martial artist’s Martial Arts Cultivation. This kind of enhancement could even ignore the bottleneck of the realm. Otherwise, how could it be worthy of the word ‘creation’? Even if it was just an imitation, its enhancement to a martial artist was immeasurable.
Moreover, the Creation Divine Aura had an advantage, that it would not overflow.
Similarly, the accumulation of Half-step Yuan Martial Realm to Yuan Martial Realm would also not overflow.
It is because the improvement from Half-step Yuan Martial Realm to Yuan Martial Realm is an elevation in True Qi. In simple terms, Yang Chen has already stepped half of his foot into the Yuan Martial Realm. He only needs to take another half-step to reach the Yuan Martial Realm.
He didn’t need to hurry for this half-step.
Just like now…
Yang Chen quickly refined the Creation Divine Aura rewarded from the thirteenth floor. With his current foundation, he could enter the Yuan Martial Realm at any time.
However, Yang Chen was in no hurry.
He challenged each floor and absorbed each layer of the Creation Divine Aura, which would not overflow.
In this way, if he accumulated and refined enough Creation Divine Auras, he could even directly breakthrough to the Yuan Martial Realm Second Layer, or even the Third Layer upon breaking through the Half-step Yuan Martial Realm.
This was his goal.
With this in mind, he naturally didn’t feel rushed.
Thus, Yang Chen arrived at the 14th floor.
Outside the Trial Tower…
“The light on the thirteenth floor has gone out, and the light on the fourteenth floor has come on. Yang Chen has passed the fourteenth floor!”
“The fourteenth floor!”
“I wonder if Yang Chen can pass the fourteenth floor.”
Murmurs arose again.
Steward Xu stood with his hands behind his back, watching Yang Chen pass the thirteenth floor and arrive at the fourteenth floor, his heart not at peace. According to his understanding of the Trial Tower, Yang Chen’s speed should make him reckless. But thinking back to Yang Chen’s previous actions, he didn’t think Yang Chen was a reckless person.
“How many floors can this kid pass? Although he didn’t say how many floors he could pass this time, the confidence he exudes makes me more uneasy than before.” Steward Xu frowned, feeling that Yang Chen might do something surprising this time.
“Huh?”
Just as Steward Xu was lost in thought, suddenly, the light on the fourteenth floor went out.
Immediately afterwards, the light on the fifteenth floor lit up – Yang Chen had actually passed the fourteenth floor and reached the fifteenth floor.
This made the geniuses of Beishan Main City, who were claiming that Yang Chen could not pass the fifteenth floor, increasingly nervous. Although they said aloud that Yang Chen could not pass the fifteenth floor, they had no idea how this demon would clear it.
Now, the incredibly difficult levels of the thirteenth and fourteenth floors had hardly affected Yang Chen at all.
What about the fifteenth floor?
“I don’t know what the fifteenth floor will be like for Yang Chen.”
“Hmph, don’t worry, Yang Chen won’t be able to pass the fifteenth floor. Have you forgotten? The fifteenth floor is a watershed. No matter what happened before, the difficulty of the fifteenth floor…”
The words of this talented person hadn’t yet fallen.
Suddenly, the light on the fifteenth floor went out.
Everyone was silent for about two or three breaths before the light on the sixteenth floor gradually lit up!
Indeed, the sixteenth floor light was lit, and those who had guaranteed that Yang Chen could never pass the fifteenth floor could not help but close their mouths.
Indeed, the fifteenth floor posed a real challenge to Yang Chen. At least in the fifteenth floor, he was forced to use his Demonic Fire. This was something that had not troubled him on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors.
“At the moment, it seems that the sixteenth floor is even more difficult – the Combined Attack Formation is powerful… Tsk, if I don’t use Starfire, I can still pass the sixteenth floor, but it would waste a lot of time. It’s not worthwhile for me. There is no need to waste this time.” Yang Chen thought to himself.
Just when this thought fell, he beckoned, and suddenly, the Starfire appeared.
With the two flames going together and the Thunderbolt Style combined with Yang Chen’s current strength, the desert was left in shambles after a hundred breaths. This was an effect that never appeared on the thirteenth and fourteenth floor.
As the last Sand Soldier turned into a mound of sand, the entire desert gradually disappeared, replaced by the space of the sixteenth floor and the large amount of Creation Divine Aura that emerged.
“The Creation Divine Aura awarded after passing the sixteenth floor is so plentiful, much more than the fifteenth floor. Combined with the Creation Divine Auras given by the previous floors, after refining them, I’m confident that I can directly break through to the Second Layer of Yuan Martial Realm in one go,” Yang Chen revealed a smile.
He had been accumulating for such a long time without entering the Yuan Martial Realm.
In this way, Yang Chen paused for a while before proceeding, moving from the sixteenth floor to the seventeenth floor!
At that moment, the scene was in an uproar.
“The seventeenth floor, it’s the seventeenth floor!”
“This!”
No one could not be surprised.
It was because, apart from Huang Taiji and Yun Han Dao, no one in the history of Beishan Main City had ever passed the seventeenth floor. And now, Yang Chen had arrived at the seventeenth floor. If Yang Chen completed the great challenge of the seventeenth floor, he would rank as the fourth in history!
The title of the fourth in the Trial Tower was already a remarkable number.
It was unknown whether it was because of the high number of floors Yang Chen had passed or not, but more people gathered outside the Trial Tower. The crowd swarmed around, all looking at the top of the Trial Tower, curious whether Yang Chen could pass the seventeenth floor.
