349: Pick another one!

Lin Chen began to search through the options on the light screen.

Soon, he found what he was looking for.

This was a type of crystal called Primordial Profound Crystal. The notes explained that it was an extremely rare energy crystal even in the Main World, only usable by Half-step Ancestor Realm experts and above!

"I just don't know how many I can exchange for..."

Lin Chen looked at 'Yuan' who was waiting beside him, and he respectfully asked:

"Senior Yuan, I want to exchange for the Pearl of Time and the Bodhi Tree, and I also want to exchange for Primordial Profound Crystals. I wonder how many Primordial Profound Crystals I can get?"

'Yuan' was slightly taken aback. The first two treasures Lin Chen wanted to exchange for were acceptable, as they were both greatly beneficial for cultivation. But why would he want to exchange for Primordial Profound Crystals?

"Lin Chen, you may not know, but this Primordial Profound Crystal is a product of the Main World. Its energy level is too high for you; you simply cannot absorb it."

"Are you sure you want to exchange for it?"

Lin Chen nodded with certainty. He couldn't very well say that he had a way to absorb the energy within it... Seeing this, 'Yuan' chuckled and said:

"Very well, it seems you have your own opportunities..."

"Then I will give you one hundred Primordial Profound Crystals."

"These one hundred Primordial Profound Crystals are not considered opportunity treasures; you can still choose one more treasure."

Lin Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this and thanked him profusely.

He then looked at the light screen again. If he could choose another treasure, it had to be something that would enhance his life-saving abilities.

Once this Black Tower Trial ended, he would return to the Primordial World.

'Yuan' had said that he would only come to guide him once he cultivated to the Eternal Saint Lord Realm.

He was currently only at the Half-step Eternal Realm, still far from the Eternal Saint Lord Realm.

During this period, with his current strength and Realm, if he wanted to acquire resources, he would have to come into contact with those major powers!

And among those powers, there were Saint Lord-level experts!

Also, during his time in the Black Tower Trial, he had slain too many prodigies. Behind those prodigies were powerful forces, so he had to be careful.

Especially that handsome young man who had once self-destructed and made a cruel threat... "Eternal Realm mighty beings and Great Emperor Realm mighty beings are alike; their Natal World is their vital point. I just need to place my Natal World in an absolutely safe place."

"Although the Eternal Realm has an additional Eternal Flame, that only limits the vital point of a single body. Eternal Realm mighty beings all have at least one clone. Even if the clone traveling outside is destroyed, they can quickly condense a new body using another clone..."

"The Natal World is the most important. If the Natal World is destroyed, even if an Eternal Realm mighty being's body is intact, they will gradually move towards annihilation..."

"Where should I place my Natal World when I get out..."

Originally, Lin Chen was prepared to exchange for a treasure that could protect his Natal World.

Suddenly, he thought of something and abruptly looked at the system panel.

Speaking of the safest place, of course, it was none other than the system!

However, could his Natal World be placed within the system?

Did the system have a space?

Ever since 'Hao' had observed his past and not discovered his system, he suspected that the system possessed a certain degree of autonomy!

Also, every time he deduced combat techniques, the system could deduce in the direction he thought of, which also proved one thing: the system was intelligent!

And after so many upgrades, the system might have developed some changes he was unaware of... The more Lin Chen speculated, the brighter his eyes became.

With a thought, he tried to communicate with the system, thinking in his mind about how to store his Natal World... Just then.

Buzz—

The system panel flickered, and an option appeared.

Place of Origin: Activate by consuming 10,000 trillion Energy Points.

Place of Origin?

Lin Chen's heart pounded. It really was possible!

This Place of Origin required so many Energy Points just to enter; it must not be simple... Since this option appeared based on his thoughts, it was very likely that this Place of Origin was the safest place!

Lin Chen suppressed his excitement and then directly decided on the last opportunity treasure.

He chose the Supreme Secret Art—God Annihilation Art!

Now that the Place of Origin had appeared in the system, this mysterious place should be able to solve the safety issue of his Natal World.

As long as his Natal World was absolutely safe, coupled with his Dream Travel in the future, he would have nothing to fear!

So Lin Chen chose an opportunity that would enhance his combat power.

This secret art would perfectly replace the Spirit Slaying Art, and from now on, the God Annihilation Art would become his trump card... Lin Chen was actually most looking forward to the Primordial Profound Crystals.

Although one hundred seemed like a small number, he knew that an energy crystal that even Ancestor Realm Experts could use might hold a great surprise for him... After collecting his thoughts, Lin Chen spoke out the opportunity treasures he had chosen.

'Yuan' smiled and nodded, then brought out all the items he had exchanged for.

"Lin Chen, this Black Tower Trial ends here. After you leave, you can directly depart from here through the Black Tower Intelligent Assistant and return to your original world."

After 'Yuan' finished speaking.

The figures of the two Ancestor Realm Experts instantly vanished.

Lin Chen joyfully put away all the treasures.

Buzz—

His figure also exited the Statue Space.

Outside, all the trial participants were staring in shock at Lin Chen's location.

At this moment, 'Hao', who was originally ranked first, had already become second.

And the statue on the throne had changed to Lin Chen's likeness.

On the throne, the two prominent characters 'Lin Chen' now appeared!

"This bandit leader... really... really succeeded!"

"How is that possible... I even suspect he cheated... That was the great existence 'Hao'!"

"Cheating is impossible. I heard from my ancestors that outside the Black Tower Main Tower, where we are currently, a clone of the Lord of the Black Tower has always been guarding it..."

"But this is too unbelievable... He was able to defeat 'Hao' in his youth, which means..."

A trial participant said with a horrified tone, his words trailing off in shock.

However, the many trial participants who heard this could all guess what he was going to say.

Ancestor Realm!

It meant that the bandit leader they spoke of might reach the same height as 'Hao'!

Hiss—

Suddenly, those trial participants who had secretly resented Lin Chen, and even cursed him, were terrified.

If Lin Chen were to become an Ancestor Realm Expert in the future, he could, with a single thought, perceive everything related to him in the past.

As long as any living being mentioned his name, he would be able to perceive it!

This was the omnipotent Ancestor Realm Expert!

"You all, do you think it's still not too late for me to go and apologize to that bandit... no... Lord Lin Chen..."

"..."

The shock brought by Lin Chen's successful challenge to the top of the supreme ranking list was immense; this achievement would have far-reaching effects.

After these trial participants left, they would quickly spread his deeds across countless dimensional worlds!

The most powerful forces would extend olive branches to him... Ji Changkong and Fang Yong also stared at Lin Chen with incredulous expressions until Lin Chen approached them, and they finally came back to their senses.

"Chen... Brother Chen... Am I seeing things... You succeeded in the challenge?"

Fang Yong rubbed his eyes, speaking dazedly.

Ji Changkong, beside him, had already reacted. He patted Fang Yong's shoulder and said:

"Of course it's true, Brother Changkong has now broken the Black Tower Trial's challenge record!"

"Most importantly, Brother Changkong may very well reach that great Ancestor Realm in the future..."

Lin Chen found their reactions amusing.

"Brother Changkong, after you return, pay more attention to those major powers. Don't be too impulsive. If things get too difficult, just leave that world for a while."

"I'll come find you once I break through to the late Eternal Realm!"

Lin Chen said to Ji Changkong.

He was confident that he would be able to contend with Saint Lord-level experts when he reached the late Eternal Realm!

Ji Changkong nodded gratefully. He knew that this Black Tower Trial had granted him the greatest opportunity!

"Brother Chen, don't just go to Brother Changkong's place; remember to come find me too... Hehe."

Fang Yong said with a simple smile.

Lin Chen nodded slightly. He was also very interested in the world where Fang Yong resided.

After all, his Fang family was quite wealthy... [Black Tower Final Opportunity Trial has ended!]

[Those who successfully challenged the supreme ranking list can proceed to the tenth floor!]

[All trial participants can return to their respective worlds at any time!]

Buzz—

A wave swept through, and the figures of Meng Tianxing and Hu Yan, who were still in shock, disappeared...

After the ethereal voice sounded, Lin Chen sighed with immense emotion.

Although this Black Tower Trial had seemingly lasted about ten years, the actual time he had spent had already exceeded two hundred thousand years!

Such a long period made him feel as if he had lived in another era.

"It's time to go back..."

"I wonder if those Half-step Great Emperor Realm foreign races are still outside the Black Tower."

Lin Chen smiled faintly.

After bidding farewell to Ji Changkong and Fang Yong, with a thought, a wave swept over his body.

Buzz—

Lin Chen's figure slowly disappeared...
