127: The battle between heaven and man, an impossible challenge

Inside the Trial Tower.

The space on the hundredth floor was like the primordial Chaos, with Heaven and Earth yet to be separated.

Su Lei stood in a Realm of Void, with swirling nebulae beneath his feet and an endless river of stars above his head.

Dazzling, multi-colored Protective Aura wrapped around his body, illuminating this chaotic space with brilliant splendor.

"You're finally here."

The voice came from all directions, as if the entire space was speaking to him.

Su Lei followed the sound, and an old man dressed in coarse linen clothes had appeared in the Void without him noticing.

The old man's face was kind, and he didn't exude the slightest aura of a strong individual, yet it gave Su Lei an absurd illusion.

It was as if the one standing before him was not a person, but the entire Heaven and Earth!

Su Lei's heart tightened, and he slowly adopted his starting stance.

Multi-colored Protective Aura flowed around his body, forming a dazzling light shield.

"Senior, please enlighten me."

The old man smiled faintly and slowly raised his right hand.

This simple action caused the energy within a thousand meters to surge with it.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the space around the old man's palm to twist and collapse.

This palm strike seemed to carry the weight of the entire world!

"First Move."

The old man pushed out his palm with an understated gesture.

In an instant, Su Lei felt as if the entire Heaven and Earth were pressing in on him.

He roared, unleashing his multi-colored Protective Aura with full force, crossing his fists over his chest.

"Boom—!"

The next moment, it felt like a mountain was crashing into him!

Amidst the deafening explosion, Su Lei was struck as if by lightning, and his entire body flew backward several hundred meters!

"This is... the power of a Great Grandmaster..."

Su Lei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock.

The old man did not answer, merely taking a light step.

This step seemed ordinary, yet it instantly traversed several hundred meters.

Su Lei even had the illusion that the entire space was moving with the old man's steps!

"Second Move."

The old man brought his fingers together like a sword, and pointed forward with an understated gesture.

Su Lei could clearly perceive countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathering and compressing under this single point, finally transforming into an intensely brilliant beam of light.

Su Lei's figure blurred instantly, leaving an afterimage in his original spot.

However, that finger light followed him like a shadow; no matter how he changed his position, it firmly locked onto his Qi.

The next moment,

The finger light shot forth, and the Protective Aura shield layers shattered!

"Third Move."

A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's calm, unperturbed eyes.

The next moment, he brought his hands together, then slowly separated them.

This simple action caused the entire chaotic space to tremble.

Su Lei roared, all the multi-colored Protective Aura within his body erupting madly.

The power of lightning surged through his Meridians, finally allowing him to barely break free from the spatial restraints.

However, before he could even catch his breath, the old man's attack had already arrived.

It was a palm print that appeared slow, yet it contained the oppressive might of the entire Heaven and Earth.

Wherever the palm print passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing the pitch-black Void Realm.

"Boom!"

Su Lei was directly slammed into the Void Realm by this palm strike.

He felt every inch of his bones wailing, and his internal organs seemed to be crushed and reassembled.

The multi-colored Protective Aura circulated wildly within his body, barely protecting his heart.

Before Su Lei could even take a slight breath, the old man's voice came from all directions.

"Fourth Move."

As the words fell, the stars of the entire starry sky shifted, and countless star-lights converged into a colossal, sky-covering palm that slowly pressed down upon him.

"So strong..."

Blood seeped from the corner of Su Lei's mouth, but an unyielding flame ignited in his eyes.

He clenched his fists, all his Cultivation Techniques simultaneously operating at their Peak, and the multi-colored Protective Aura radiated an unprecedented brilliance.

Within mere seconds, he unleashed over a hundred punches!

Each punch shattered the air, emitting a deafening shriek.

Before the full force of his punches arrived, countless shockwaves blasted towards the giant palm.

However, they only created ripple-like disturbances when they struck the giant palm.

The opponent's Protective Aura seemed inexhaustible, constantly drawing upon the power of Heaven and Earth!

"Bang—!"

In a earth-shattering collision, Su Lei's multi-colored Protective Aura shattered inch by inch.

His entire body plummeted like a broken kite, heavily crashing into the Void Realm.

"I lost..."

Su Lei looked calmly at the old man in front of him, his eyes devoid of frustration, but instead filled with intense unwillingness and Battle Intent.

"However, I will return."

The old man smiled and nodded: "Next time, you will be stronger."

As the old man's words fell, the space on the hundredth floor began to collapse.

Su Lei's figure gradually transformed into specks of starlight, dissipating into the Void Realm... After an unknown amount of time,

The sounds of insects and birds chirping reached his ears, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, falling upon Su Lei's face.

He abruptly sat up, looking down to check his body.

There were no wounds, no pain, as if the fierce battle on the hundredth floor had merely been a dream.

His body was empty, unable to sense even the faintest fluctuations of Qi and blood.

Now, he had returned to the state of an ordinary person.

"This is the third time..."

Su Lei clenched his fists, the images of his previous two failures constantly replaying in his mind.

The first time, he was greedy and tried to learn too much, resulting in mediocrity in everything.

The second time, he chose Cultivation Techniques for all forty-nine rewards, honing his physique and Protective Aura to their Peak.

Yet, he still couldn't contend with the might of Heaven and Earth; the disparity in Realm was so vast it was despair-inducing.

Su Lei took a deep breath, his gaze slowly sharpening.

If he couldn't defeat that old man in the Trial Tower, it would be even more impossible to be Lei Mietian's opponent outside.

No matter what, he had to find a way to defeat a Great Grandmaster!

Su Lei stood in place, pondering for a long time, and after eliminating all conventional possibilities, only one idea remained.

An incredibly bold, even inconceivable idea—

Each time he received a reward, he would choose Martial Skills, integrating the strengths of various schools, and continuously improving his A-rank Martial Skill, "Ten Steps, One Kill."

Ultimately, he would strengthen it to its Peak, strong enough to "slay gods"!

However... purely in the state of an ordinary person, it would probably be difficult to even pass the tenth floor.

Moreover, without a powerful physique, could he truly unleash the power of his Moves?

Su Lei was deeply skeptical of this.

There was no need to think; he knew this was destined to be an unknown path fraught with risks,

and also the most arduous challenge he had encountered so far, without a doubt!

A rustling sound came from the distant bushes.

After casually dealing with the long-eared rabbit that pounced on him, Su Lei stepped into the depths of the forest.

His steps were slow, but his gaze was more resolute than ever.

This time, he would create a miracle—

To climb to the highest Peak in the state of an ordinary person!

...An unknown amount of time passed.

Su Lei arrived at the twentieth floor.

His clothes were already tattered, and his exposed skin was covered with fine bloodstains.

These were scars left by the aftermath of battles.

A wound on his right arm was profusely bleeding; that was from the eighteenth floor, where he was injured by a swordsman, and merely being grazed had almost crippled his arm.

Entering the dojo, Su Lei's gaze was firmly fixed on his opponent.

It was a burly man like an iron tower, nearly two meters tall, his bare upper body covered with crisscrossing scars.

Every muscle seemed to be cast from refined iron, subtly rising and falling with his breathing.

"I am a Fourth Rank Martial Artist. I have mastered two C-rank Martial Skills and one B-rank Martial Skill."

"Defeat me, and you can reach the next floor."
