Chapter 128: Heaven Defying!
“d*mn it! Are they even human? They’re breezing through so fast?! This is way above the thirtieth floor! They’re just at the Foundation Establishment stage! The Foundation Establishment stage!”
The Immortal Alliance expert next to the elder was about to lose his mind.
Sure, Yún Zhōnghè’s group passing the levels quickly was shocking, but that didn’t push him close to a breakdown. What terrified him was the rate they were siphoning off the floors’ spiritual energy. It was like they were stripping the floors bare, as if they were bandits plundering everything in their path.
This couldn’t be good for the Alliance’s reputation; he genuinely feared they could drain the entire God Tower to dryness if they kept up on this rampage.
“They shouldn’t. They shouldn’t. Foundation Establishment only, no way they’ll reach hundredth floor.”
He kept calming himself down internally.
Please, just give up and come out soon. Why do you need so much spiritual energy anyway? At your Foundation Establishment stage!
He regretted taking this job. If he had known how awful it would turn out, he wouldn’t have taken it. Why did he have to choose this remote corner of the Eastern Continent?

Currently, inside the Myriad Path Divine Tower…
Mù Jīxuě and Lín Zhòngyù stared in disbelief, hearts pounding uncontrollably, marveling how Yún Zhōnghè single-handedly slaughtered eight monster beasts!
And all were at the late Golden Core stage!
Clutching dual swords, one borrowed from Lín Zhòngyù, having lost the other at level thirty. From levels thirty-one to thirty-three, it was all a slaughter marathon. With regular methods failing to challenge them, the tower set beast-killing as their test, making four consecutive floors of straight massacre.
On each level, there were seven to eight late Golden Core stage monster beasts with varying strengths. Even genuine Golden Core cultivators would find it tough.
Yún Zhōnghè, a single individual, challenging three people’s worth?!
“He… He’s actually that strong?!”
Mù Jīxuě’s purple eyes glimmered with shock, though they had overestimated him already. His true power left her flabbergasted.
How many secrets does this man have?
Actually, Mù Jīxuě was extremely impressed by strong individuals, especially by the legendary Xìa Wú Dí, whom she greatly admired. But since she herself was also incredibly powerful and had a protagonist aura around her, she usually had to sweep through everything effortlessly. So, her newfound respect for strength showed.
But now, Yún Zhōnghè’s demonstration hit her hard, like an iron rod piercing her body with an indelible mark.
His talent and strength are out of this world.
Lín Zhòngyù felt her cheeks heating up, her heartbeat racing just looking at Yún Zhōnghè’s handsome profile. She was shocked too.
His sword moves so fast, so fiercely.
Using his own sword and the borrowed one from Lín Zhòngyù, he twirled them with such fluidity, dazzling Lín Zhòngyù.
Dual-wielding!
Yún Zhōnghè finally perfected his twin-sword technique!
Before entering the tower, he found it difficult to control two swords simultaneously. But with spiritual energy evolving, his spirit pearl splitting from one into two, he suddenly mastered dual-sword techniques effortlessly.
Is it because he has two spirit pearls now? Like a computer going from single-core to dual-core, can handle two tasks independently?
Once the dual-wielding was settled, his sword qi spread like a rainbow!
Even on his own, he matched the combined force of Lín Zhòngyù. Twin Eight Desolations Sword Technique cut through monsters like grass.
Sure, initially he was clumsy, but as the floors increased, his skills sharpened. His trials turned into perfect practice tools.
Level Thirty-four!
Nine White Tigers!
Bathed in bl**d, Yún Zhōnghè was determined, aiming for level thirty-five right ahead!
The nine tigers moved with lightning fast speed, one slashing across his face. Inside, his spiritual roots exploded, sword qi diffused in sharp edges, overwhelming the floor, scattering the tigers.
Dual-wield attack—massive!
Even with the shockwaves, Mù Jīxuě managed to hold a protective ice wall, preventing herself and Lín Zhòngyù from being sent flying.
So powerful! Too powerful! Is he human, ghost, or deity?
At this moment, Yún Zhōnghè red-eyed, determined to clear level thirty-five. Everything in his way—dead enemies.
Only Huáng Àotiān getting the spell book would ensure his safety.
Forget the tower’s trials, he had to win today!
His spiritual energy unleashed, creating tangible dual-spiritual-energy-swords!
Four swords in one hand! Two held by hands, two golden glowing weapons circling him like floating cannons!
Weaknesses? Quantity compensates all!
Mù Jīxuě’s heart was in turmoil, realizing it was his upgraded spiritual energy that gave him such unstoppable power, distinct from his earlier performance.
Could it be he reached mid-Initial Understanding stage?
Yún Zhōnghè’s full blast, single-handed against nine tigers with four swords rotating.
One tigress couldn’t take it, a sword slashed through, blowing her apart. Nine down to eight!
Seeing a dead comrade enraged the others. Although outnumbered, their attacks grew fiercer. The tower upped its difficulty.
“Bitching mode!”
Yún Zhōnghè gritted his teeth. Foreseeing the eight tigers’ joint attack, he abruptly switched to dual-wield Infinity Sword Technique!
No prior experience, just pure confidence under high spiritual energy surge, he felt invincible.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Single-handedly resisting eight tigers.
Boom! Boom!

Outside, the guarding old man gasped.
Solo clearing level thirty-four? Three-person difficulty? What witchcraft is this?!
The elder sensed the inner chaos. Long years had tuned his senses.
Moreover, Yún Zhōnghè’s commotion was huge.
One person through three-person trials? Even Xìa Wú Dí only attempted solo. This, this…
On the other side, the Alliance expert was even more frustrated, noticing all ten upper floors losing spiritual energy instantly.
“d*mn! Overkill! One by one is bad enough, but now ten by ten?!”
The Alliance felt things spiraling out of control.
They might drain the whole freakin’ tower!
