191: Chapter 191 Real-world Assessment? Beast Tide, Surprise, Frenzied Slaughter!

【The second stage begins.】

A cold, mechanical voice boomed in the independent space.

Lu Qingyun had just finished stretching his muscles when he felt a profound, mysterious force, like an invisible thread, wrapping around his Soul.

The force was gentle yet possessed an irresistible tenacity, attempting to peel his Soul from his physical body.

"Huh? What kind of bullshit movement is this?"

Lu Qingyun raised his eyebrows, standing still without moving an inch.

The force pulled for a long time, but Lu Qingyun's Soul remained as steady as Mount Tai, not even wavering. It was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, or a breeze brushing against a mountain; it had absolutely no effect.

The tugging lasted for a full half-minute before, seemingly giving up completely, it silently retracted.

Immediately afterward, a heavy, desolate, and terrifying pressure, as if from the ancient past, suddenly descended from the Void Realm!

This pressure targeted the Soul directly and was more than a hundred times stronger than the pressure of the Peak Divine Will; an ordinary Yu Kong Realm Martial Artist would likely not even be able to withstand it for a second before their Soul shattered on the spot!

But falling on Lu Qingyun...

"Huh?"

Lu Qingyun spun around in place, his brows furrowed high.

He touched his left, looked at his right, and even jumped twice, his face full of confusion.

"No, is this all the strength it has? It feels like scratching an itch; it's not even as comfortable as the massage in the Gravity Room at the Tianjiao Camp."

He looked up at the Void Realm with some impatience:

"What about the second stage? Why hasn't it started yet? I've been waiting for ages, hurry up, don't dawdle!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

【The second stage has been successfully cleared, the reward has been taken.】

【Do you wish to proceed to the third stage immediately?】

The mechanical voice sounded in succession, sounding vaguely stiff, as if the program was glitching.

Lu Qingyun was stunned for two seconds, then sneered.

"Just this?"

He shook his head, too lazy to waste any more time, and said casually: "Third stage, let's go."

A flash of light, and the dizzying sensation of teleportation struck.

When his feet touched the ground again, deafening sounds of slaughter instantly filled his ears!

A fishy wind blew in his face, and blood sprayed across the sky.

Lu Qingyun blinked, looking at the scene before him, dumbfounded.

A boundless tide of Vicious Beasts was like a black torrent, sweeping in from all directions, their roars shaking the clouds into rolling.

In mid-air, five human Dharma Forms were fighting eight mountain-like Beast Kings, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to shatter; energy shockwaves swept across the wilderness, tearing deep, bottomless ravines into the earth.

And not far behind him, that familiar piece of the Ancient Tower's bronze door was quietly standing in the collapsed rock layer, half-buried in dust.

"?"

Lu Qingyun was completely numb.

"I'm out?"

"The Ancient Tower's third stage... threw me directly into reality?"

Just as he was bewildered, the mechanical voice sounded in his mind again:

【Third stage mission: Slay all lifeforms of the same Realm within the red frame.】

As the words fell, a scarlet border instantly lit up at the edge of Lu Qingyun's vision, completely framing the area within a hundred miles.

From the Dharma Forms and Beast Kings fighting in mid-air to the low-level Vicious Beasts scurrying all over the ground, all were within this red frame.

Lu Qingyun: "..."

Outrageous!

This is fucking outrageous!

This broken Ancient Tower really doesn't treat the examinees' lives as lives!

Lifeforms of the same Realm?

That sounds simple, but is it not considering reality at all?

There are over a dozen existences at the Dharma Form level here alone; if any other ordinary Prodigy were brought in, they would be turned into meat paste in a second!

If it were anyone else, they would likely have weak knees by now, thinking about how to escape.

But as Lu Qingyun looked at the Vicious Beasts covering the mountains and plains, his eyes lit up in a flash—bright enough to be scary!

Because he realized...

Experience!

It's all fucking experience!

As for why this place suddenly fell, what does that have to do with him?

"A god-given opportunity!"

Lu Qingyun grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, his smile full of excitement and cruelty.

Without even thinking, the pitch-black Psychic Power around his body erupted!

The peerless Divine Will Storm poured out without reservation, turning into a black tornado that spanned the heavens and the earth!

"Buzz—!"

Wherever the storm passed, flesh and blood flew!

A Divine Intent Level 8 Scarlet Flame Beast that had just pounced in front of him didn't even have time to scream before it was instantly ground into a bloody mist, not even leaving bone fragments behind!

【Ding! Killed LV48 Scarlet Flame Beast, Rank Experience + 5,451,041, Maximum HP permanently + 934,511!】

【Ding! Killed LV41 Iron-Backed Grey Wolf, Rank Experience + 87,456, Maximum HP permanently + 6,521!】

【Ding! Killed LV45 Black Ice Python, Rank Experience + 1,214,789, Maximum HP permanently + 348,453!】

The cold System notification sounds jumped frantically in his mind like a scrolling screen, the numbers jumping, making Lu Qingyun feel refreshed all over.

Refreshing!

Too refreshing!

A hundred times more refreshing than picking up kills at the Martial Arts Tournament!

Although most of them were of a lower Rank than him, the Rank experience and Maximum HP he could obtain would be greatly reduced.

But he couldn't help it... the quantity was outrageously high!!

Lu Qingyun's figure flickered, turning directly into a black lightning bolt, plunging into the densest part of the beast tide!

With the Divine Will Storm fully activated, wherever he passed, nothing grew!

The black tornado rampaged through the beast tide, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, crazily harvesting lives.

With his current life level, his strength was dozens of times stronger than before!

One after another, Divine Intent Level Vicious Beasts didn't even see his face before they turned into blood mist, ground to pieces.

In just a few dozen breaths, he had cleared a large area, blood gathering into a lake, corpses piling up like mountains!

He alone was a Forbidden Ground for all living things!
