Lu Yun’s body flashed, and he immediately rushed into the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
The twentieth floor was still a mysteriously spacious hall, and the opponent was still the silver-robed youth who looked a lot like Lu Yun.
“I hope you don’t lose as thoroughly as the last time.” With a swish, the silver-robed youth attacked Lu Yun first.
A simple and unadorned saber strike seemed to possess boundless power, and in a flash, an incomparably solid saber qi fell from above Lu Yun’s head.
“It seems my Slaughter Conception isn’t weaker than yours.” Lu Yun said with a faint smile. Immediately, the blood-red lotus platform in his Sea of Consciousness, which was about to bloom its second petal, trembled violently. Avast and immense Slaughter Conception howled out, pouring madly into the long knife, and a crimson saber qi burst out instantly.
Two indistinguishable saber qi shattered in the air instantaneously.
“Your Slaughter Conception has progressed rapidly. No wonder you dare to re-enter the tower in such a short time. However, since it’s not as profound as mine, you’re destined to lose…” The silver-robed youth sneered sinisterly, and then he suddenly moved. The bloody red Killing Intent surrounding him seemed to be a world of its own, pressing down on Lu Yun.
“Hmph, the same slaughter conception, but the power isn’t necessarily the same…”
“Slash!” Lu Yun slashed through the air with one strike.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Three crimson saber qis broke through the air and attacked, and the world made of Killing Intent by the silver-robed youth collapsed instantly, and the pressure on Lu Yun’s body no longer existed.
Lu Yun spread out his figure, holding the knife and rushing out.
The space here had sealed his Dantian, preventing him from using the Pure Yang Aura, but his powerful physique could not be sealed.
Moreover, after pushing Breaking Extreme and One Strike End Sins to the limit, his understanding of saber techniques had greatly improved. Now, even an ordinary saber strike contained more saber cultivation comprehension and skill.
“Tsk tsk tsk—” As the two peaks collided, the power of the silver-robed youth’s saber qi was obviously weakening. It seemed to be suppressed and weakened by something. Lu Yun, relying on his powerful body and possessing higher skills and saber cultivation understanding, quickly gained the upper hand and directly crushed the opponent.
Bang!
The White Scale Purple Gold Knife turned into a flowing light, slashing the opponent’s saber qi open while directly sweeping past the opponent’s head.
The twentieth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower was passed.
“Being strong in a single aspect doesn’t make you truly powerful. Moreover, even if you’ve reached the peak of the first rank in Slaughter Conception, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are stronger than my 80% Slaughter Conception.”
Lu Yun smiled and stepped into the whirlpool portal that appeared in front of him.
Ye Xingchen’s face stiffened slightly when he received the news from the Tower Spirit.
“He passed so quickly; it’s only been three months!”
Actually, based on Lu Yun’s previous speed, it would take a whole three months to pass one floor, which was already considered slow.
But starting from the twentieth floor, the Myriad Phenomena Tower had changed. It tested the degree of comprehension of Martial Arts Conception, not just as simple as cultivation and realm.
Improving the Martial Arts Conception so quickly in three months is already considered monstrous.
Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly and sighed: “He must be the only one who hasn’t been promoted to Bright Moon Hall after passing the twentieth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.”
Despite saying so, he had no intention of letting Lu Yun enter the Bright Moon Hall.
The twenty-first floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
“Stars again?”
Lu Yun stood in the dreamy starry sky and looked at the vast and boundless star river, feeling incredibly small.
At this time, a storm swept out, and then a faint voice came from within.
“You have ten breaths of preparation time.”
Lu Yun ignored it and instead opened his arms, basking in the starry light and enjoying the fleeting time in the starry sky.
The star river rolled, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yun found himself standing on a cliff peak.
Lu Yun stood on a piece of bluestone, surveying the surroundings, anticipating in his heart.
Was the opponent still focused on Slaughter Conception this time?
What level had his Slaughter Conception reached?
Just breaking into the Second Rank or already at the Second Rank peak? Or even higher?
As Lu Yun was in deep thought, the mist at the top of the cliff suddenly rolled and transformed into a white-clothed youth who didn’t look much different from Lu Yun.
“Congratulations, you successfully passed the twenty-first floor of Myriad Phenomena Tower. Likewise, I look forward to your ability to pass my challenge.” The white-clothed youth spoke coldly, with neither a warm nor congratulatory tone.
Without hesitation, Lu Yun unleashed his near First-Rank peak Slaughter Conception, filling the air around him with Killing Intent. With the infusion of Slaughter Conception, a crimson blade light burst out from the White Scale Purple Gold Knife.
“Eighty percent of First-Rank Slaughter Conception was enough to pass the twentieth floor; you’re quite good.”
The white-clothed youth coldly exclaimed, waved his sleeve, and a saber similar to the White Scale Purple Gold Knife materialized out of thin air.
The moment he gripped the saber, his aura abruptly changed, and an infinite amount of Killing Intent erupted, engulfing the top of the cliff in an instant.
The sky, the mist, the starlight, everything disappeared. Only countless Killing Intent swirled around, and a terrifying aura was released.
“Second Rank Peak Slaughter Conception!” Lu Yun’s face changed.
At that moment, he felt overwhelmed from all directions. Even his proud, powerful body could only exercise about eighty percent of its power.
The stronger one’s Martial Arts Conception is, the more intimidation and oppression they can unleash, thus enhancing their strength.
Currently, Lu Yun was unable to mobilize the Pure Yang Aura in his Dantian. He could not use his powerful Saber Technique and must rely solely on his strong physical body to fight.
“You can try again next time!” sneered the white-clothed youth.
Whoosh!
As his words fell, it seemed as if the entire world was pressing down on them. The Killing Intent around Lu Yun was instantly crushed, and a glimmer of saber aura cut through space, almost touching Lu Yun’s head.
Myriad Phenomena Tower’s twenty-first floor, failed!
“Just one sub-level of difference, and yet I am overwhelmed in every aspect.” Lu Yun sighed. “As one’s realm progresses, Martial Arts Conception becomes more critical. After this, Pure Yang Aura and Slaughter Conception must be upgraded simultaneously.”
Stepping out of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, Lu Yun glanced at the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall in the distance.
There were still 108 shining golden names on it.
However, he noticed that every time he came to the Myriad Phenomena Tower, the names of the last few people often changed.
“Huh?”
Lu Yun suddenly noticed two names on the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall he knew: Ranked 106th and 108th.
“Meng Hongfei? Qin Yun?”
Meng Hongfei was one of the examiners who recruited new disciples in Cloud Water County two years ago and was responsible for guiding Lu Yun.
As for Qin Yun, he was acquainted with him on the back mountain of the Martial Academy.
At that time, he accidentally stumbled upon Qin Yun’s match with Meng Hongfei, and they got to know each other in unusual circumstances.
“But so much time has passed. 1 wonder if he even remembers me?” Lu Yun muttered to himself before his gaze fell on the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall.
Ranked 106th, Meng Hongfei, Myriad Phenomena Tower’s twenty-first floor, persevered for 200 breaths of time.
Ranked 107th, Fang Kun, Myriad Phenomena Tower’s twenty-first floor, persevered for 195 breaths of time.
Ranked 108th, Qin Yun, Myriad Phenomena Tower’s twenty-first floor, persevered for 170 breaths of time.
“So Senior Brother Qin is the last on the list. Interesting!”
Lu Yun suddenly thought that if one day he suddenly pushed Qin Yun out of the 108th place, it would be quite interesting.
He had just managed to hold on for a dozen breaths on the twenty-first floor. To persevere for 170 breaths, he would need to increase his Slaughter Conception to about fifty percent of the Second Rank.
However, the Alchemy Conference was approaching, so he would need to go to the capital of Ling Province. He didn’t know when he would return.
Shaking his head slightly, Lu Yun turned around and left.
After passing the twentieth level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower and obtaining 13,000 Contribution Points, he quickly turned them into several Fourth Grade pills after visiting the Pill Medicine Building.
Then, he went to the Internal Affairs Hall and collected the cultivation resources he hadn’t received in several months in one go.
Finally, he returned to Spirit Martial Prefecture city full of contentment..
