241: Trial!

“Finally, it’s time to go to the Black Tower.”

Lin Chen’s True Body was hidden within the Inner World of the Man Country’s Dao Realm.

Even now, he still felt lingering fear; the power of those great Emperor Realm Experts was too terrifying!

His clone and main body had the same combat power, but against those few Emperor Realm Experts, he didn’t even have the slightest power to resist… “Soon, once I enter the Black Tower, my strength will experience a great leap!”

A murderous glint flashed in Lin Chen’s eyes.

At that time, he would seek out these so-called empires one by one!

Just then, a majestic voice rang out.

“Those who have obtained a spot, prepare to enter the Black Tower now!”

Lin Chen’s heart surged with excitement; he had waited too long for this moment!

Next, led by the Emperor Realm Experts of their respective nations, they entered the ultra-long-distance realm gate teleportation array within the city.

The Man Country Dao Realm that Lin Chen enslaved also set off, following an Emperor Realm Expert.

The Man Country’s Emperor Realm Expert was very pleased; he hadn’t expected the competition to be so fierce this time, and yet his Man Country managed to secure a spot.

The Man Country had over a hundred Great Worlds, and more than 50 Emperor Realm Experts came this time, protecting the Man Country Dao Realm enslaved by Lin Chen with extreme caution.

There was no other way; too many powerful nations had come this time!

Their Man Country was at the bottom among the many nations.

If a powerful nation took a fancy to their spot, they might very well seize it through various methods.

Along the way, everything was peaceful. After exiting the realm gate teleportation array, an boundless black giant tower appeared before their eyes, suspended in the air.

Lin Chen perceived this Black Tower through his true spirit.

He was deeply shocked by the sight before him!

The Black Tower was comparable in size to a Great World.

One must know that within a Great World, the main world alone spans millions of light-years… “The Black Tower has opened. Those with a spot, enter with your tokens!”

The majestic voice rang out again.

Immediately, 5,000 Venerable Realm and Dao Realm beings quickly flew towards the Black Tower entrance.

Lin Chen noticed a massive exotic beast coiled at the entrance, its enormous pupils constantly scanning all the beings entering the Black Tower.

This exotic beast was precisely the Qilin Empire’s Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Expert!

Lin Chen’s heart couldn’t help but clench.

Among the 5,000 Dao Realm spots, there was one extra for him; he had to enter the Black Tower ahead of others!

Under Lin Chen’s command, the Man Country member he enslaved sped up, quickly flying to a forward position.

Each entering being had to present their token from the ranking battle.

The tokens of the beings who had secured spots in the previous ranking competition were specially marked, and the Qilin Clan Expert specifically guarded the entrance, checking them one by one.

Lin Chen had the time wheel to conceal his aura, so he wasn’t afraid of being discovered.

Soon, it was the turn of the Man Country member enslaved by Lin Chen.

The Qilin Clan Expert, seeing that even such a weak nation could obtain a spot, couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. He wished he could crush this Man Country Dao Realm with one claw.

However, he ultimately restrained himself.

Lin Chen entered the Black Tower without incident.

Half an hour later.

Among the Dao Realm spots, there was only one remaining Angel Clan member who hadn’t entered.

But the Black Tower entrance had already closed… “What’s going on?”

The Angel Empire’s Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Expert instantly appeared at the entrance. He looked at the closed Black Tower with confusion, then turned to the Qilin Clan Expert.

At this moment, the Qilin Clan Expert was also bewildered; as a Half-Step Great Emperor Realm, his memory naturally wouldn’t be wrong.

He clearly remembered that only 4,999 Dao Realm-level beings had entered, so why did the Black Tower close early?

It should only close when the number of entrants is full!

Could it be… The Angel Empire and Qilin Empire Experts suddenly thought of something.

“Damn it, it’s that little thief!!”

Boom—

The two Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Experts immediately became furious.

This instantly alarmed all the countless Emperor Realm Experts waiting outside.

The ten Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Experts also arrived at the Black Tower entrance.

After some understanding, they were all filled with murderous intent.

“It can only be that human boy from before!”

“I didn’t expect us to be tricked!”

“To be able to escape right under our noses, it seems he must possess an extraordinary treasure!”

The most enraged among them was the Angel Empire Expert, as they had lost a spot for nothing… At this moment, the Yuanwu Empire’s Half-Step Great Emperor Realm Expert spoke slowly, his tone filled with killing intent.

“No rush, he will eventually come out. The Black Tower is only open for ten years. After ten years, he will still emerge from here.”

…Inside the Black Tower.

Lin Chen had already emerged from the Inner World of that Man Country member.

He found himself on a vast continent.

He released his true spirit and discovered that the scope of this continent exceeded his true spirit’s Perception range of 200,000 light-years!

Moreover, this continent actually contained countless exotic beasts!

The lowest realm of the exotic beasts was the Dao Realm Ninth Level, and some high-level ones even made him feel a sense of dread!

Those were terrifying exotic beasts beyond the Third-Step Emperor Realm level!

Within the range of his true spirit perception, there were only a few dozen Dao Realm beings; he hadn’t found any of the Venerable Realm beings who had entered the Black Tower… Just then, an ethereal voice rang out in his ear.

【The Black Tower trial is about to begin. Trial participants need to clear ten floors of the Black Tower to obtain the ultimate opportunity!】

【First Floor: Calamity of Exotic Beasts】

【Trial participants need to endure one month amidst the exotic beast rampage. Retreat is not allowed once the trial begins!】

【Trial participants can earn points by killing exotic beasts. Points can be exchanged for treasures within the Black Tower.】

【The trial will officially begin in 10 seconds. If anyone wishes to give up, silently say ‘give up’ in your heart now to leave the Black Tower!】

【Countdown begins: 10… 9…】

A series of voices sounded, and Lin Chen instantly understood.

So the so-called Black Tower was actually a trial!

This reminded Lin Chen of the seed trial set by Yuan; this Black Tower trial should be similar.

He had long heard that the Black Tower contained countless opportunities and treasures.

It turned out they had to be exchanged with points!

Lin Chen immediately became excited; he greatly anticipated the treasures within this Black Tower!

After all, this Black Tower was likely also related to Yuan.

Those treasures certainly wouldn’t be bad!

【Countdown over, trial begins!】

The moment the ethereal voice disappeared, two black orbs of light flew towards Lin Chen and the Man Country member, hovering before them.

After the light dissipated, Lin Chen discovered it was actually a black sphere.

“What is this thing?”

【Trial participant, please activate the intelligent assistant. Once activated, you can check points and exchange for treasures!】

The sudden voice startled Lin Chen. He looked at the black bead before him, a curious expression on his face.

So this was the intelligent assistant for the Black Tower trial.

But how to activate it?

There was no explanation… Blood? Or something else?

As Lin Chen thought, he reached out to take it. The moment his finger touched the black sphere.

A voice rang out.

【Intelligent assistant successfully activated!】

【Trial participant, please complete your information…】

The black sphere glowed, and a virtual projection appeared. Lin Chen filled in his information according to the prompts.

Of course, he still used false information.

After filling it out, Lin Chen studied it for a while and understood the functions of this intelligent assistant.

First, there was a point leaderboard. After the first floor trial ended, the top three would receive point rewards.

First place rewards 1 million points.

Second place rewards 500,000 points.

Third place rewards 100,000 points.

There was also a treasure vault option, but it was temporarily locked.

Lin Chen guessed it would only unlock after the first floor trial ended.

He also learned about the rules of the first floor trial.

Killing a Dao Realm Ninth Level exotic beast rewards 1 point.

Killing a Half-Step Emperor Realm exotic beast rewards 10 points.

Killing a first-order Quasi-Emperor level exotic beast rewards 100 points… Killing a First-Step Emperor Realm exotic beast rewards 10,000 points…
