208: All Worlds Will Be Under My Feet (End)
Boom!
Saine Hopes, who was struck, flew backward instantly. Under the impact of the terrifying force, his robust body directly slammed into the earth, creating a large crater.
At the same time.
The surrounding buildings also began to shake violently. Clearly, the force of Li An's blow on Horn Hopps was rapidly being discharged into the earth by the latter, causing the ground to tremble.
"Let's see how many more punches you can take."
Almost instantly, Li An perceived the cause of the changes on the ground. He immediately snorted coldly and quickly closed in on Horn Hopps.
However, Horn Hopps had not yet recovered from Li An's punch. At this moment, he only felt an intense headache, as if his head was about to explode.
Of course!
Horn Hopps's condition was indeed not good at all. After enduring Li An's most powerful punch, the fact that he didn't die on the spot already spoke volumes about his strength.
Smack!
But Li An didn't care about any of that. Before Horn Hopps could react, he grabbed his ankle, lifted him, and then furiously slammed him into the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth continuously shook, and the ground began to sink visibly. When Li An stopped, the ground had been forcefully caved in by several feet.
[Ding! You have killed Horn Hopps.]
Listening to the system prompt in his ear, Li An, who had been wildly expending his strength, finally stopped his actions.
At this moment, he looked at Horn Hopps, whom he was holding, only to see that the latter's upper body was completely a bloody mess, unrecognizable. Blood and bone were mixed together, a terrifying sight.
But after seeing this scene, Li An remained calm. He then casually tossed the corpse away, stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground.
"It's over."
Then, amidst Li An's low murmur, he walked directly out of the hall and headed back the way he came.
It's worth mentioning that when Li An passed through the courtyard again, the warriors eroded by the light rain still maintained their bowing posture. Even though Li An had just killed their master, they remained unmoved, continuously bowing.
All of this seemed incredibly eerie and unsettling.
It sent shivers down one's spine.
On the other side.
When Li An embarked on his return journey, Nie Guang also received the World Core presented by Horn Dale. After obtaining the World Core, the former didn't hesitate, immediately submitting it. Subsequently, the Paradise's prompt appeared.
[Ding! Trial Mission completed, return conditions met.]
[Ding! Return countdown 10 seconds, countdown begins...]
The moment the Paradise's prompt sounded, both Nie Guang and Li An, who was on his way back, received the return notification. Without hesitation, everyone chose to confirm their return.
The next second, upon confirming their return, everyone instantly lost consciousness.
When they woke up again, they had returned to their respective safe houses.
The first thing Li An did upon waking was to check how much time he had left to stay in the Paradise. This time, helping Nie Guang pass the trial mission had indeed taken a long time, but it was only about one day.
He still had about four days of activity time. After confirming his remaining activity time, Li An first heated up a meal he had packed from the Shi Guang Tunnel.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li An went to the massage area. He then removed his clothes, leaving only his shorts, and immersed his entire body in the warm pool water.
Splash splash~
Li An leaned back on the massage chair, letting the pool water cover his chest, with only his head exposed.
Then, with a thought, he summoned his panel.
Mark's matter was now concluded, but he hadn't had time to carefully study the information about the rank sequence he obtained from Mark. Now was the perfect time.
Li An planned to rest for a day, research the data Mark gave him, and then conduct a period of Alchemy experiments. If he had time afterward, he would go to the Tower of Babel again to see if he could break into the top ten.
One day later!
Li An, who had finished reviewing Mark's information, walked out of his safe house after completing his 130th Alchemy experiment and headed towards the Tower of Babel.
His goal this time was simple and direct: to secure a top ten spot in the Tower of Babel.
[Ding! You have entered the Tower of Babel. Current rank: 998. Do you wish to begin the challenge?]
"Start."
Without hesitation, Li An immediately began a new round of challenges after entering the Tower of Babel.
As the challenge began, the surrounding environment instantly started to change, eventually transforming into a high platform.
"It's you!"
However, what Li An didn't expect was that the moment his opponent appeared, the opponent seemed to recognize him, instinctively retreating several steps backward, as if afraid Li An would directly attack him.
"Brother, we just participated in the World Scramble not long ago."
"I concede this match; there's no need to fight."
The opponent made a stopping gesture. He had witnessed Li An's terrifying strength and knew very well that he could not be Li An's opponent.
Li An also hadn't expected to encounter a participant from the World Scramble here. He didn't make things difficult, simply nodding in agreement.
Seeing Li An agree, the opponent also unhesitatingly chose to forfeit on the spot, and Li An advanced.
But after that, Li An wasn't so lucky.
Although his next opponent was not as strong as him, the moment the challenge began, he directly attacked Li An, and the two immediately clashed.
However, in the face of Li An's terrifying strength, the opponent was completely unable to resist and was sent flying on the spot.
Seeing this, Li An immediately stepped forward, swung his arm, and struck, directly exploding his opponent's head, killing him instantly.
By this point, Li An's movements were becoming increasingly decisive and direct. Unless it was an evenly matched opponent, it was difficult to last more than a few moves against him.
In this way, Li An advanced triumphantly all the way, finally breaking into the top ten.
[Ding! Your current rank is 10. Do you wish to continue fighting?]
No!
Li An unhesitatingly refused to continue fighting. He felt unusually tired and needed rest.
After exiting the Tower of Babel, Li An walked towards the food street. After a hearty meal at the Shi Guang Tunnel, he prepared to return to his safe house.
But on his way back, he encountered Nie Guang. At this time, Nie Guang, having completed the trial mission, had clearly entered another level of strength.
Upon encountering Li An, Nie Guang did not become arrogant due to his breakthrough in strength. He knew very well that if Li An broke through, his strength would inevitably skyrocket in a short period, becoming even more terrifying than his own.
After a brief conversation, Li An was about to leave, but before he did, Nie Guang looked at Li An and said.
"Brother, I eagerly await the day you reach another level."
"I will. That day will surely come."
Li An smiled. At this moment, his gaze met Nie Guang's.
Li An knew that he would definitely reach new heights.
By then, all realms will be beneath his feet!
