243: Retreat!

In a canyon on the first floor of the Black Pagoda.

A young man in purple-gold battle armor was fighting a four-tribulation Quasi-Emperor level beast.

He wielded a purple-gold halberd, each strike imbued with terrifying power.

Bang—

The beast was instantly smashed into a bloody mist by his halberd!

This person was the last seed—Ye Shaoyang.

Ow—

In the distance, countless other beasts roared and charged towards him.

Ye Shaoyang's expression was indifferent. His eyes narrowed, and a powerful true spirit force swept out.

Immediately, beasts below the four-tribulation Quasi-Emperor level were instantly obliterated by him.

Suddenly, a seven-tribulation Quasi-Emperor level beast in the distance discovered him.

Ye Shaoyang frowned slightly, immediately turned, and fled, with the beast behind him in hot pursuit.

He was the only one in this area, and there were still many safe houses.

Soon, he found a safe house.

After entering the safe house, he let out a long breath.

Then he took out a black round stone and brought up the points leaderboard.

First place: Wang Feiyu (8.633 billion points)

Second place: Ye Shaoyang (1.3 billion points)

Third place: Lin Sha (89.44 million points)

...

Seeing the name at the top of the points leaderboard, Ye Shaoyang revealed a meaningful smile.

As early as when he activated the intelligent assistant, he knew that Wang Feiyu was not dead.

“To be able to evade the detection of so many Half-Step Emperor Realm Experts, I truly underestimated you.”

“Very well, then become my puppet...”

“A perfect body...”

Ye Shaoyang's expression was frenzied. Then he took out more than 50 seed imprints from his Inner World.

“First, I'll break through, then I'll go harvest points...”

Ten days later.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged on a mountain peak.

After ten days of frantic hunting, the beast tide that appeared on the first floor of the entire Black Pagoda had been mostly harvested by him.

During this time, the high-level beasts in the beast tide had actually been getting stronger.

In the last two days, the proportion of Quasi-Emperor level beasts in the beast tide far exceeded before, with many eight and nine-tribulation Quasi-Emperor level beasts...

Because there was only one intelligent assistant, and points needed to be recorded by the intelligent assistant.

So Lin Chen could only constantly teleport his main body to various areas to hunt beasts and gain points.

Opening the points leaderboard, Lin Chen found that his points had reached 86.047 billion!

“The first-place reward is only 1 million points.”

Although it seemed unreasonable, if the trial participants were considered Dao Realm level, then it was very reasonable.

Anomalies like Lin Chen and Ye Shaoyang were too rare.

Even among the seeds, the stronger ones only reached the Half-Step Emperor Realm level.

“With so many points, I should be able to exchange for many good things.”

Just as Lin Chen was looking at the points leaderboard.

Suddenly, dozens of powerful auras appeared in the distance, and Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat.

These were... Imperial Rank beasts!

He immediately released his true spirit.

Tens of millions of kilometers away, a beast tide appeared once again.

This beast tide far exceeded the previous intensity; the lowest realm within the beast tide was Half-Step Emperor Realm level.

The highest was the One-Step Emperor Realm level!

Savage Iron was still outside slaying beasts.

He had previously annihilated all beasts above the Dao Realm in this area.

Savage Iron's strength was already extremely powerful at the Dao Realm level; ordinary Dao Realm beasts could not threaten him.

At this moment, the beast tide was not far from Savage Iron, and Savage Iron was also frantically fleeing towards Lin Chen.

“It seems the difficulty of this beast tide has increased by another level!”

“I must also break through!”

“Any later, I probably won't be able to deal with the beasts that come next!”

Immediately, Lin Chen split off a clone, and the clone sped towards Savage Iron.

This clone of his would help Savage Iron find a safe house.

Meanwhile, he arrived at a mountain peak.

“With the time wheel, those beasts shouldn't be able to discover me.”

“First, I'll break through my martial arts realm, so I can increase the time acceleration multiple of the time wheel!”

Currently, he could manipulate the time wheel to create a field with a hundredfold time acceleration.

One day within the field was 100 days outside.

100 days was too short for his current realm!

Any breakthrough in his true spirit or Golden Body would probably be calculated in years...

Once everything was ready.

Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Name: Lin Chen

Realm: Dao Realm Ninth Level + (Advance by comprehending 1% rule power)

true spirit: Two-Step Emperor Realm + (Consume 10 billion P to advance)

Golden Body: Imperial Rank One Forging + (Consume 6 billion P to advance)

Physical Strength: 300 billion Dragon Elephant

Rule Power: 0% +

... Energy Points: 2.79 trillion

System Upgrade: Consume 1 billion P

“The system should also be upgraded. I wonder if I can choose to upgrade the system when I break through...”

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. If so, he could avoid the blank period of the system upgrade.

System upgrades also took longer the further they progressed.

Lin Chen estimated that this system upgrade would take at least two or three months...

“I'll know if I try.”

Then, with a thought, Lin Chen consumed Energy Points to boost his rule power!

Breaking through to the Half-Step Emperor Realm only required comprehending 1% of rule power.

As far as Lin Chen knew, the rule power in different dimensional worlds varied greatly.

Because the Source Great Dao of different dimensional worlds were different.

The Endless Realm only had ten Source Great Dao, and the Great Dao of Time and Space were still flawed...

Whereas a high-level four-dimensional world like the Primordial World had thousands of Great Dao, the exact number of which Lin Chen did not know...

These Great Dao were evolved by the heavenly dao will; they were the Source Great Dao!

These Source Great Dao intertwined and influenced each other, forming a perfect closed loop, which would then derive rule power again!

And the strength of rule power was related to the number of Great Dao...

As Lin Chen consumed Energy Points, he had a very peculiar feeling.

The 28 Source Great Dao he had mastered began to intertwine in a regular manner.

Finally, they gradually formed a perfect closed loop!

These 28 Great Dao formed the basic rules of a world!

This was rule power!

Lin Chen subconsciously looked at the system panel.

Rule Power: 100%

“Increasing to 100% only consumed 50 million P in Energy Points.”

“This amount of energy is negligible.”

“Old Lei said that this rule power is related to the number of Great Dao.”

“My rule power should be the upper limit in the Primordial World, right...”

For the upper, middle, and lower tiers of Great Dao, comprehending nine of each tier was the upper limit.

Comprehending more Great Dao afterward would not enhance rule power.

“I wonder if there are any beings in the Primordial World who have also comprehended 27 Great Dao...”

“Comprehending 1% rule power allows one to break through to the Half-Step Emperor Realm.”

“So now I can directly condense an Emperor Seal and break through to Quasi-Emperor!”

Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Realm: Half-Step Emperor Realm + (Condense Emperor Seal to advance)

Condense Emperor Seal: Consume 1 billion P

The time required to condense the Emperor Seal would be very long.

As Lin Chen consumed Energy Points to condense the Emperor Seal, he simultaneously chose to upgrade the system.

“It really works!”

Lin Chen's face showed joy. By the time he broke through to Quasi-Emperor, the system would also have successfully upgraded!

At this moment, the system entered the upgrade interface, and he also began to condense the Emperor Seal with the help of the system...
