280: Bug? Surprise!

After seeing the introduction of the Spirit Exterminating God Nail, Lin Chen was excited.

It could instantly kill opponents of the same realm; it was too powerful!

Generally speaking, his ordinary true spirit power impact was ineffective against those of the same realm.

Lin Chen estimated that this true spirit secret art could even cause damage to beings one realm higher than him, which might have miraculous effects during life-and-death battles!

With a consumption of 10 million Energy Points, the value of this secret art was comparable to a mid-tier Origin battle technique!

Even with system enhancement, fully mastering it would definitely take more than a day.

A secret art of this level must be incredibly complex; even with his comprehension boosted ten thousand times, it would likely take at least a week to fully master it.

Lin Chen decisively gave up on improving it now.

He then quietly waited for the Black Tower Trial to end, or for a challenger to arrive... 10 hours later.

Lin Chen, sensing something, looked at his system panel.

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones (Mid-tier Origin) (0 / 10 million points)

"It's done!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. He was very curious about how many clones this clone technique could now produce.

He knew that for each additional clone, his Taiyi Blade Art would gain an additional 100-fold increase in Great Dao power!

After glancing at Luo Tian, who was still comprehending the Hunyuan Battle Art beside him, Lin Chen opened the light screen to study it.

10 hours had passed, and the fourth floor's trial was nearing its end. No challengers had appeared in his Endless Realm faction...

Lin Chen clicked on the second-ranked faction, and as soon as he opened it, his expression changed.

In the light screen, two human cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle!

"Are they both seeds?"

The strength of these two was exceptionally terrifying. He only watched for a moment before realizing that they were both at the late-stage Half-step Great Emperor Realm and had mastered the Ultimate Great Dao!

Suddenly, two more peerless prodigies who had comprehended the Ultimate Great Dao appeared!

What about the other 8 spots?

Lin Chen immediately clicked on the other top ten ranked factions and watched them one by one.

He found that some factions, like his, had no challengers, while others were embroiled in fierce battles!

Without exception, the strength of the trial participants fighting was at least at the level of having comprehended a Ultimate-tier Great Dao!

To create an Ultimate Great Dao, one must comprehend 27 Great Daos, then integrate the suitable Great Dao profound meanings from those 27 Great Daos to potentially create an Ultimate Great Dao...

Lin Chen discovered that these peerless prodigies who had mastered the Ultimate Great Dao fell into two categories.

One type condensed Gui Markingss, while the other purely followed the martial path.

He hadn't found anyone who cultivated both martial arts and body refinement like himself.

However, it was normal to think about it; creating an Ultimate Great Dao itself required immense resources and effort, leaving no time to pursue the body refinement path.

The appearance of Gui Markingss had led many peerless prodigies to delve into it...

Currently, the peerless prodigies in the third, fourth, and fifth ranked factions had all condensed Gui Markingss!

After condensing Gui Markingss, it was equivalent to cultivating both martial arts and body refinement, making their combat power exceptionally strong!

Lin Chen guessed that this was why no challengers dared to challenge them...

As for his own position, even fewer challengers dared to come, after all, he was capable of killing even figures of the Silver-Robed Youth's caliber!

Time flew by, and soon there were only 10 minutes left until the end of the Black Tower Trial.

Lin Chen found that the top ten ranked factions had basically been decided.

The top ten ranked factions each had only one trial participant!

Moreover, they were all peerless prodigies who had comprehended the Ultimate-tier Great Dao. Including him, there were six humans and four non-humans.

Among them, besides him, all the other prodigies who secured a spot had condensed Gui Markingss without exception!

Their lowest martial realm was at least mid-stage Half-step Great Emperor Realm!

Lin Chen looked at these trial participants and fell into deep thought.

These prodigies couldn't possibly be unaware of the drawbacks of Gui Markingss, so why would they still refine them without hesitation?

If the Black Tower was truly deployed by 'Abyss,' why would it leave behind the method for condensing Gui Markingss?

Was there some deeper meaning to this?

Unable to figure it out for now, Lin Chen could only give up.

He shook his head slightly. The harm of Gui Markingss was too great, and besides, he already cultivated both martial arts and body refinement, so he didn't need to enhance his combat power through Gui Markingss.

He couldn't help but feel sorrow for those peerless prodigies.

It was truly a pity to even think about it. If they managed to reach the peak with great difficulty in the future, they could have become overlords of a world, but in the end, they might turn into Weird without self-awareness...

Lin Chen directly closed the light screen and quietly waited for the Black Tower Trial to end.

Next, everything went as he expected; no challengers appeared until the Black Tower Trial ended.

Buzz—

A ripple swept over Lin Chen, and he instantly returned to the main hall of the Exchange Land.

Lin Chen found that Luo Tian, as his follower, had indeed returned with him.

He suddenly thought of something, looked at Luo Tian, and asked:

"Did you receive a point reward?"

Luo Tian was slightly stunned, then immediately checked his point account.

A moment later, Luo Tian exclaimed with surprise:

"Yes! I have points too!"

"It's 400 billion points!"

"However, the Black Tower just informed me that I must leave the Black Tower in ten days."

Lin Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this. Did this count as another loophole?

Did the other few trial participants in the top ten also recruit a large number of trial participants in advance?

If so, that meant they could acquire a large amount of points again!

Lin Chen immediately felt a sense of urgency, then he looked at Luo Tian and slowly said:

"You keep 30 billion points to exchange for the Origin Chamber and cultivation resources. Give me the rest of the points; I will compensate you later."

Luo Tian chuckled upon hearing this and said:

"Since I chose to follow you, everything naturally revolves around you. The body technique you gave me is already well worth it!"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, then also gave Luo Tian the memory crystal of the Spirit Exterminating God Nail.

"In the Origin Chamber, you should also learn this true spirit secret art."

"After you leave the Black Tower in 10 days, go directly to a place called Hong Country..."

More than two months had passed since he entered the Black Tower, and he had no idea what the situation was like outside.

Although his clone had already gone out with Savage Iron, the clone's combat power at that time was not yet at the Half-step Great Emperor Realm...

He wanted Luo Tian to go directly to the Azure Cang Realm to protect Blue Star for him.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Kingdom had always been coveting it, and he had offended several great empires before...

He participated in the Black Tower Trial with a hidden identity, but it was inevitable that powerful experts skilled in investigation might act, uncover his true identity through clues, and even find the Lingxiao World and Hong Country.

With Luo Tian cultivating in the Origin Chamber for a period, his combat power would likely reach the peak of the Half-step Great Emperor Realm. With him protecting Blue Star, Lin Chen would feel more at ease.

Although Old Lei was still on Blue Star, Old Lei's status was too transcendent; he would likely only act when Blue Star faced a life-or-death crisis.

As his follower, Luo Tian would naturally be more dedicated...

Soon, Luo Tian transferred 370 billion points to Lin Chen.

Now Lin Chen's points amounted to 770 billion!

Lin Chen looked at this huge sum of points, his expression excited as he opened the exchange list...
