273: Luo Tian

Buzz—

The next moment, Lin Chen, as the challenger, appeared on a floating continent.

Hmm?

Lin Chen noticed that this continent also had only one trial participant, and he was a Human Race member!

Is he a seed?

Judging by his aura, this Human Race member was also in the Half-step Great Emperor Realm.

This didn't surprise him much; after all, the more than 600 trial participants before him were already in the Half-step Great Emperor Realm… It was just that the Great Dao cultivated by the previous trial participant he encountered was too weak.

For Lin Chen, among those in the same realm,

only peerless prodigies who comprehended Great Daos at the ultimate level would earn his respect!

Lin Chen floated in mid-air, observing the Human Race trial participant below.

The man had his eyes tightly shut, sitting cross-legged with his upper body bare.

His muscles bulged, and wisps of terrifying power emanated from him.

Beside him, a massive sword was plunged into the ground.

The great sword was half a meter wide, five to six meters long, and exuded a profound sense of weight!

Is this… a Body Cultivator? Or a Dual Cultivator of Martial Arts and Body?

Lin Chen’s eyes flickered with interest.

Aside from himself, he had never seen any being achieve such a high level in Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts and Body.

The greatest strength of Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts and Body lay in its ability to enhance Great Dao Combat Skills through physical strengthening.

Moreover, with a powerful Physical Strength, defense would also be extremely abnormal; in the same realm, it's very possible one couldn't even break the opponent's defense… At this moment, the burly man sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at Lin Chen indifferently, his eyes full of disdain.

He hadn't expected someone to dare challenge him directly.

Since the fourth layer of the Black Tower Trial began, he had quickly claimed the top spot on the leaderboard, and everyone knew the significance of being first.

“Oh? A Human Race Half-step Great Emperor Realm? Are you a seed?”

“Do you know, I cut down an alien Half-step Great Emperor Realm in my last match.”

The burly Human Race man stood up, speaking with a sneer.

Battle intent surged in Lin Chen’s eyes; with a flicker, he appeared directly in front of the burly man.

“Too much nonsense!”

Boom—

Lin Chen directly unleashed his Physical Strength, throwing a punch!

“Courting death!”

Seeing this, the burly man roared and likewise threw a punch at Lin Chen.

Bang—

Their fists collided, and a terrifying shockwave spread outwards from their center.

Lin Chen was instantly sent flying.

After stabilizing himself, he felt a slight shock.

This burly man’s Physical Strength definitely exceeded 1 unit of power!

Lin Chen couldn't help but speculate.

The Black Tower Trial did not restrict Body Cultivators!

This burly Human Race man likely had an extremely high Golden Body Realm before entering the Black Tower!

During that previous collision, he noticed that the opponent also hadn't used his full strength.

“Again!”

Lin Chen laughed loudly, beginning to circulate the Primordial Battle Art.

Streams of Primordial Power began to empower his Physical Strength.

Seeing this, the burly Human Race man also began to circulate his body cultivation technique.

Their physical auras erupted, and they violently clashed.

Lin Chen was now in full power burst mode, which was 50 units of power!

Rumble—

The void trembled violently, and the terrifying power instantly sent the burly Human Race man flying.

While he was still in mid-air, he had already been reduced to a puddle of minced meat!

But in just a moment, the burly man’s body recovered.

Seeing this, Lin Chen curled his finger, full of provocation.

The burly Human Race man’s eyes were filled with doubt and surprise; he hadn't expected to be defeated in the path of body cultivation.

From the first collision, his Golden Body Realm was clearly higher!

He quickly understood after a brief thought.

It’s the body cultivation technique!

This kid must have mastered a heaven-defying body cultivation technique!

Immediately, his eyes burned with passion.

One must know, the body cultivation technique he learned was a treasured inheritance of his sect, only available to the sect master’s successor.

It was a body cultivation technique at the Primordial Initial Stage level!

Body cultivation techniques of this level were fewer than a handful in his home world, and each one was controlled by a super sect!

As for body cultivation techniques beyond the Primordial Initial Stage, he had never even heard of them.

“Kid, hand over your body cultivation technique, and I’ll leave you a complete corpse!”

The burly Human Race man laughed wildly, then with a wave of his hand, the great sword below instantly appeared in his grasp.

“You are the first to force me to use my full strength.”

“To cut you down today, you can be proud!”

With the great sword in hand, the burly Human Race man roared.

Seeing this, Lin Chen snorted coldly, unleashing 50 units of power, throwing punch after punch.

Killing intent bloomed in the burly Human Race man’s eyes.

“Die!”

Boom—

The great sword swept across, terrifying aura surging, and both of them flew backward.

After stabilizing himself, Lin Chen felt a shock in his heart.

Top-tier Great Dao!

Primordial Initial Stage Battle Skill!

Moreover, the opponent’s comprehension of the top-tier Great Dao was astonishingly high, definitely exceeding 30%!

This burly man’s true Martial Dao Realm must be the Half-step Great Emperor Middle Stage!

But this wasn't the most important thing.

The opponent was clearly using a weapon, and that weapon was merely a Ninth-grade Emperor Artifact; it was impossible for it to have such an exaggerated amplification!

Logically speaking, a top-tier Great Dao amplifies 2000 times, plus the amplification from weapons, Emperor Seal, and so on, it would only be around 4000 times.

For a moment, Lin Chen couldn't figure it out.

“This is likely a new method of amplification!”

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

The next moment, he used his palm as a blade, slashing out!

Taiyi Blade Art First Layer — Chaos Heaven-Opening Blade!

With one slash, terrifying blade light traversed heaven and earth.

The burly Human Race man’s expression drastically changed; although he had long known that Lin Chen was also a Dual Cultivator of Martial Arts and Body, he hadn't expected the opponent to also comprehend a powerful Battle Skill!

He roared, raising the great sword over his head, and chopped down!

Rumble—

With a loud bang, the gray-white blade light swept through with destructive force.

The great sword in the burly Human Race man’s hand instantly shattered, and his body was split in two by the blade light!

Seeing this, Lin Chen pressed his advantage.

With a flicker, he appeared in front of the burly man, drew his long blade horizontally, and was about to strike when a terrified voice rang out.

“Spare me!”

“I am willing to follow you!”

“Please spare my life!”

Lin Chen was momentarily stunned, spare him?

He knew that only one of them could survive; this was the rule of the Black Tower Trial… However, he still retracted the long blade he was about to unleash.

“Just in time to ask how the opponent amplifies his Battle Skills.”

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Across from him, the burly Human Race man let out a sigh of relief.

Although his body had now rejoined, a hideous crack ran from his head downwards, and a terrifying Great Dao Power was constantly eroding his body, preventing its recovery.

The burly Human Race man looked at Lin Chen with apprehension, then spoke:

“This Black Tower Trial actually has a loophole.”

“As long as I swear an oath by the Supreme Rule to submit to you and become your follower, the Black Tower rules will directly judge you as victorious!”

“Moreover, in the subsequent trials, I can even fight alongside you!”

Oh?

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback; this was also possible?

But upon closer thought, directly submitting to others like this would be no different from death for those peerless prodigies!

Lin Chen shook his head slightly; this burly Human Race man had no backbone.

The burly Human Race man seemed to understand Lin Chen’s thoughts, and he said very calmly:

“I am not such a rigid person; in this world, the strong are respected. Following someone stronger than me is not shameful.”

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then said:

“If you submit to me, what happens after this fourth layer ends?”

This burly Human Race man was also of the Human Race, and his talent was extremely powerful. He wanted to bring this burly man back to the Endless Realm to protect the Blue Star Human Race.

This way, if he were to leave the Endless Realm in the future, he would feel much more at ease.

“After I follow you, as far as this Black Tower is concerned, I am already dead.”

“So, I can go with you to your world.”

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

“Alright, then make your oath.”

The burly Human Race man’s face lit up with joy. He first asked Lin Chen’s name, then began to swear an oath by the Supreme Rule.

The Supreme Rule was omnipresent, a power beyond everything Lin Chen knew!

He even felt that Ancestor Realm powerhouses would not dare to violate the Supreme Rule!

“I, Luo Tian, today swear by my true spirit to the Supreme Rule, to eternally follow Lin Chen, never to violate any of Lin Chen’s wishes. Should I violate, my true spirit shall be eternally extinguished, never to reincarnate!”

Just as Luo Tian’s words fell, an invisible Supreme Will flashed by.

At that moment, Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

So terrifying!

He had witnessed this Supreme Rule Will before in the Azure Cang Realm, but at that time, he hadn't felt much about it.

But as his strength grew, he also became aware of the terror of the Supreme Rule… Buzz—

The next moment, Lin Chen and Luo Tian’s figures vanished.

When they reappeared, they were on the faction continent belonging to the Endless Realm.
