355: After reaching the top of the Trial Tower, all the geniuses were shocked. There is a thirteenth floor?
“The outcome is still unknown, and the trial isn't over yet. Just wait and see!” The man, his face flushed, continued to speak stubbornly.
But when he said those words, even he didn't believe them.
“He even cleared the tenth floor! Chu Jiang’s talent is absolutely peerless!” Taishuzi of Qi Hall couldn't help but exclaim.
The enemies encountered on the tenth floor were a step above those on the ninth floor.
“This person was able to rise in just one short year; he must have something extraordinary about him. He cannot be judged by common sense!” Zu Cang, who was at his side, also spoke.
Several people nodded in agreement.
Today, they might even witness a second miracle unfold.
On the eleventh floor of the Trial Tower, there was a young man in white, with peerless grace, surrounded by Yin and Yang Qi, like a banished immortal.
“Hmm?”
Chu Jiang felt an unusual Aura; he actually sensed a hint of danger from this person.
Even the Golden Horned Giant Demon, a half-step Demon Commander, had only made him feel a slight pressure, but he hadn't detected any danger.
“You've arrived!”
The voice of the banished immortal in white echoed through the eleventh-floor space, and his gaze suddenly turned towards Chu Jiang.
“Who are you?” Chu Jiang frowned. This person seemed to know he would come.
“Yuan Shouyi!”
What?
This person in front of him was Yuan Shouyi, the Master of the Demon Suppression Division. He was one of the three Rongtian Stage experts he currently knew of.
“I once divined the Heavenly Dao; someone would set foot here a thousand years later, and they might change the fate of this world!”
Yuan Shouyi said calmly.
Good heavens.
How was this like Li Chunfeng? He could even calculate events a thousand years in the future with such clarity; it was simply miraculous.
“If you can withstand ten rounds against me, you pass!”
“Let me see how far the Prodigies of later generations have come!”
Yuan Shouyi said indifferently.
The next moment.
Boom!
Sheets of lightning spread out from beneath his feet, forming a Domain that extinguished all life.
“This is bad…”
Chu Jiang's expression changed in surprise. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Azure Emperor Dharma Form, his Aura continuously surging, and his vital Qi exploding.
The Overlord Domain unfolded, colliding and pressing against Yuan Shouyi's lightning Domain. Neither side gave way, and the entire space cracked extensively, giving rise to terrifying fissures.
Yuan Shouyi condensed the power of the lightning sea, transforming it into seven lightning Dao killing swords. They whistled through the Void Realm, striking towards Chu Jiang.
The sword light flashed with lightning, like a celestial river overturning, and its power was extremely terrifying.
Almost no one in the Heaven and Earth Realm could withstand even one of these seven great lightning Dao killing swords; a casual strike could kill the Golden Horned Giant Demon from before.
Chu Jiang's battle power was immense. The Overlords Supreme Blade was pushed to its extreme, and he fought fiercely against Yuan Shouyi, destroying the seven great lightning swords one by one.
A massive Thunder Fire Divine Disk appeared, and five great lightning Dao phenomena tore through the Void Realm. Terrifying lightning dispelled the silent darkness.
It was precisely the Divine Ability—Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method!
“Azure Emperor Dharma Form, Saint Martial Arts, Perfection Divine Ability!”
“Not bad!”
Yuan Shouyi chuckled, and a massive black vortex appeared behind him, as if it could devour everything.
Rumble!
A Perfection Divine Ability was extremely terrifying.
The Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method crushed down, tearing into the black hole vortex. The already shattered space instantly turned to dust.
“Ten moves have passed; you have cleared the trial!”
Yuan Shouyi's imprint dissipated.
Chu Jiang's face showed contemplation.
This imprint should have been left by Yuan Shouyi when he cleared the trial a thousand years ago.
To have such exaggerated battle power a thousand years ago, this person's martial arts attainment was terrifyingly powerful.
Unlike his cheat-like abilities, Yuan Shouyi relied entirely on Epiphany. It was estimated that such a person no longer needed Enlightenment Leaf.
“Next is the final floor!”
Chu Jiang's eyes gleamed as he stepped onto the twelfth floor.
At this moment, outside the Trial Tower.
The entire crowd was astounded. Everyone looked at Chu Jiang's floor count; he had already cleared the eleventh floor and was now challenging the twelfth floor.
“Holy cow, heavens, Chu Jiang cleared the eleventh floor!” A Demon Suppression Guard was incredibly excited.
“The eleventh floor, in a thousand years, only Yuan Siming has cleared it!”
“Now, he is the second!”
The entire Demon Suppression Division was in an uproar, with all eyes on him.
Chu Jiang's achievement was truly too astonishing.
Fortunately, the people in the Trial Tower couldn't see their own rankings, otherwise, some Prodigies might have their Dao Heart collapse.
Inside the Trial Tower, on the twelfth floor.
Chu Jiang looked around but found no enemies.
In the center, a golden scroll floated.
“Within one day, Cultivate this ancient secret art to an introductory level, and you will pass!”
An aged voice echoed from the Void Realm.
“As expected, the last floor is still a test of Comprehension Ability!”
Chu Jiang took the golden scroll and looked at the large characters on it.
“Myriad Manifestations Divine Attraction!”
[Mysterious martial art discovered… Reflecting]
[Countdown: three hours]
“This is interesting!”
Chu Jiang looked at his panel. It had been a long time since he triggered a reflection, so it seemed this ancient secret art was not simple.
Three hours, he could only wait patiently.
Time flowed by.
Inside the Trial Tower, some Prodigies failed their trials and were successively teleported out.
Zhang Long, Ye Chen, and Shen Liuying cleared the eighth floor.
This level was already quite good, as in previous Trial Towers, the highest was usually the ninth floor. However, this time, with Chu Jiang, a super abnormal Genius, their performance seemed ordinary.
Additionally, Bai Fengyi, Wang Tiezhu, and Fu Yunxuan cleared the ninth floor in this assessment.
When Wang Tiezhu, Shen Liuying, and others stepped out of the Trial Tower, full of vigor.
Seeing the name high atop the Trial Tower, their expressions were filled with shock. This was too damn terrifying.
He was challenging the twelfth floor.
“What a pity…”
Wang Tiezhu shook his head as he stepped out of the Trial Tower. He had just missed clearing the tenth floor by one move; the enemy was too strong.
If he had Cultivated that Divine Ability for a bit longer, he would definitely have passed.
Shen Liuying's eyes showed an unprecedented admiration, and she couldn't help but cover her red lips with her jade-like hand.
“Chu Jiang has truly created a miracle. Oh no, older sister won't dare to call him little brother anymore…”
To everyone's surprise, Sikong Zhaixing was still challenging the trial.
“As expected of the head of the Four Talents… Holy crap, the tenth floor is broken, he's challenging the eleventh floor!”
“What?!”
“The eleventh floor, can he pass it?”
He was the second person to clear the tenth floor of the Trial Tower.
If Sikong Zhaixing could clear the eleventh floor, that would be interesting.
However.
The next moment.
Sikong Zhaixing was teleported out, defeated almost instantly upon entering the eleventh floor.
“Alas, what a pity!”
Someone sighed, but Sikong Zhaixing clearing the tenth floor was enough to prove that his ranking as the head of the Four Talents was not false.
Sikong Zhaixing stepped out of the Trial Tower, his hands clasped behind his back. The tenth floor, the second person in a thousand years, who else but him?
But after waiting for a long time, he did not receive the scene of being cheered by thousands.
He turned his head and saw the cruel reality.
“How is this possible?”
Sikong Zhaixing's Dao Heart completely destabilized, and he began to doubt life itself. He thought Chu Jiang couldn't even catch his dust, but it turned out he couldn't even catch up to him.
He was actually… challenging the twelfth floor.
He couldn't accept it.
He had already experienced how difficult the eleventh floor was; he couldn't even withstand one move. How did he clear it?
One hour, two hours…
“Holy cow, what exactly is the twelfth floor? Is it that difficult?”
“Chu Jiang cleared the first eleven floors in less than half an hour!”
“Even Yuan Siming didn't clear the twelfth floor back then, so you know its difficulty. I estimate Chu Jiang will stop here.”
The onlookers discussed.
“The twelfth floor, he definitely can't pass it. Otherwise, what would become of his title as the head of the Four Talents?”
Sikong Zhaixing roared in his heart, almost going mad.
Twelfth-floor space.
[Mysterious martial art, reflection successful]
[Divine Ability · Myriad Manifestations Divine Attraction (Not yet introduced)]
[Myriad Manifestations Divine Attraction, grants the qualification to Cultivate multiple Dharma Forms, with a maximum of three. It can also control the gravity of heaven and earth, crushing enemies with gravity.]
Cultivating multiple Dharma Forms, this Divine Ability is a bit Heaven-Defying.
And it can control gravity.
Chu Jiang was excited; he loved martial arts that were both showy and powerful.
He immediately started.
[The 20,000th year, Myriad Manifestations Divine Attraction reached introductory level]
[Divine Ability · Myriad Manifestations Divine Attraction (Introductory)]
Chu Jiang opened his eyes, curved his fingers, and the Void Realm in front of him twisted at will. He could also apply gravity, significantly slowing down its speed.
With this, it was several times stronger than sealing the Void Realm.
Chu Jiang used Myriad Manifestations Divine Attraction to strike the stone door on the twelfth floor.
Suddenly, a white light enveloped him.
Chu Jiang's figure appeared in a boundless desert. As far as the eye could see, there were only shattered, vast ancient halls, with half-buried structures in the sand, revealing desolation.
The scene was filled with deathly silence.
“The thirteenth floor?”
Chu Jiang's eyes swept around. It seemed a heaven-shaking battle had taken place here.
…
Outside.
“My heavens!”
“Chu Jiang cleared… the twelfth floor!”
The entire scene was shocked, speechless.
This was breaking a thousand-year-old record, creating history.
Zu Cang, Taishuzi, Yuchi Shan, and several other high-ranking officials broke through the Void Realm, no longer calm, and flew towards the Trial Tower in unison.
