136: Chapter 136 The Divine Tower of the Void, Here I Come!

Just like when entering the Ancient Ruin before, the moment he passed through the light gate, a powerful spatial force enveloped everyone.

After a dizzying spin, Ning Yuan found himself standing upon a vast, boundless grassland.

The lush green grass stretched to the horizon, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

The sky was as blue as if it had been washed, with a few white clouds drifting lazily by; everything appeared so peaceful and serene.

Jiang Mingyue, Ling Wanhe, Zhou Qi, Lu Sheng, and the others were not by his side.

Clearly, the teleportation into the Taixu Secret Realm was also randomized.

"This place... looks pretty decent."

Ning Yuan stretched, feeling the world essence that was so dense it was nearly liquefied, and his mood brightened.

"I just wonder what those so-called 'monsters born from essence' actually look like?"

He was just thinking this.

Suddenly!

The space ahead distorted, and a peculiar creature shaped like a fierce tiger, composed entirely of white mist, manifested out of thin air!

It had no physical body; in place of eyes were two throbbing clusters of light, and its entire being radiated a pure yet violent energy fluctuation!

A Void Beast!

A specialty of the Taixu Secret Realm!

"Roar—!"

The moment the Void Beast spotted Ning Yuan, it let out a deafening roar and turned into a bolt of white lightning, pouncing toward him!

Its speed was so great that it left a series of afterimages in the air!

Its aura had impressively reached the level of an Earth Rank Transcendent!

"Oh? An experience pack delivered right to my door?"

Seeing this, Ning Yuan didn't feel the slightest bit of fear; instead, his eyes lit up.

He didn't even bother to use any precious techniques or divine powers, simply throwing out a punch!

Bang!

There was no suspense!

The moment the aggressive Void Beast made contact with Ning Yuan's fist, it shattered instantly like a fragile bubble!

It turned into a sky full of light specks!

Immediately following that!

An incredibly pure torrent of energy surged from those light specks, frantically pouring into Ning Yuan's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

Boom!

Ning Yuan felt his body give a violent jolt!

The cultivation bottleneck within him, which had already reached the peak of Radiant Moon Rank, actually... showed a tiny bit of loosening!

Even if it was just a tiny bit, it was enough to make him ecstatic!

One must know that at his realm, every step forward was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

Yet now, simply by killing one Earth Rank Void Beast, there was such a significant effect?

"Hahaha! Awesome!"

"What kind of secret realm is this? This is clearly a super cheat code!"

Ning Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This was the true foundation of the human race's talent cultivation!

Cultivating in a place like this was practically like being on a rocket!

There was no need to laboriously sit in meditation and absorb world essence!

As long as one kept killing!

Kept devouring!

One could frantically increase their cultivation at an inconceivable speed!

"At this rate... never mind three months!"

"As long as there are enough Void Beasts and the opportunities are great enough!"

"I'm even confident I can successfully step into the King Rank within a month!"

Ning Yuan's heart was filled with unprecedented fervor and anticipation!

He no longer hesitated, his figure moving like lightning as he turned into a streak of light, charging toward the depths of the grassland!

A frantic journey of 'leveling up' began!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Along the way, Ning Yuan was like a tireless perpetual motion machine!

Any Void Beast he encountered, regardless of its level or form, could not escape the fate of being blown apart by a single punch!

Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, and even some powerful Void Beasts comparable to Meteor Rank—under his iron fists, the only difference was lasting a few more moves!

Massive torrents of energy were devoured and refined by him!

His cultivation was also growing frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Under the washing of the vast sea of energy, the Radiant Moon Rank peak bottleneck became thinner and thinner, as if it would be broken through at any moment!

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

"This little bit of energy is far from enough!"

Ning Yuan roared in his heart even as he continued the slaughter.

He could clearly feel that his vast, boundless golden essence sea was like a true bottomless pit!

Although the energy from these Void Beasts was pure, for him, it was still just a drop in the bucket!

To truly break through, he needed higher-level, more massive energy!

"It seems I can only go to that place!"

Ning Yuan stopped in his tracks and turned his gaze toward the very center of the secret realm!

There, a towering divine tower that seemed to connect heaven and earth stood majestically, radiating an ancient and mysterious aura!

The Taixu Divine Tower!

That was the true core of the entire Taixu Secret Realm!

It was also the gathering place of all opportunities!

To obtain the greatest harvest and increase his strength at the fastest speed, he had to charge through that divine tower!

And reach the top!

"Fine! Then let me see exactly what secrets are hidden within this divine tower of yours!"

A sharp light burst from Ning Yuan's eyes; without any more hesitation, he charged straight toward the divine tower!

As the distance closed, he could clearly feel the strength of the surrounding Void Beasts becoming stronger and stronger!

He even encountered several terrifying existences comparable to the Radiant Moon Rank!

But without exception, they were all suppressed by his overwhelming power and turned into nourishment for his growth!

His aura also became increasingly powerful and condensed amidst this frantic slaughter!

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to that threshold of breakthrough!

"Perhaps... before officially charging the tower, I can take a step further and reach the Sun Rank!"

Ning Yuan's heart was full of confidence.

Just as his fighting spirit was high and he was preparing to find a few more blind Void Beasts to sacrifice to his flag.

Suddenly!

A terrifying aura, violent to the extreme and filled with overbearing fighting intent, came rushing toward him from the horizon to his side at high speed!

The strength of that aura even caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly!

"Hmm?"

Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow and stopped in his tracks.

This aura...

It was very familiar.

He turned his head to look at the figure streaking across the sky like a burning meteor.

A playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Yo, isn't this Great General Xiang?"

"Rushing so urgently, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

The newcomer was none other than the "tyrant spear"—Xiang Kunlun, who had clashed with him at the entrance of the secret realm!
