Chapter 139: Before the Divine Tower, Storms Rise Again

Meanwhile, deep within the Taixu Secret Realm.

Ning Yuan was leisurely walking through a valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, a stalk of spiritual grass of unknown variety dangling from his mouth, chewing it with gusto as if it were sugarcane.

"Crunch!"

With one bite, juice overflowed, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth.

A surge of incredibly pure medicinal power instantly dissolved, flooding into his limbs and bones, causing all thirty-six thousand pores of his body to relax, letting out a groan of extreme pleasure.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this stuff tastes pretty good, though it gets stuck in my teeth a bit."

As he spoke, he casually plucked a "Heavenly Star Grass"—translucent and emitting a faint starlight—from the mountain-like pile of spiritual herbs beside him and continued stuffing it into his mouth.

These rare spiritual herbs, which would be enough to drive countless alchemists in the outside world into a frenzy, were currently no different from roadside weeds in his eyes.

"That Zhuge Qing really is a great guy!"

Ning Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

He had originally just wanted to find a few Void Beasts for a snack, but unexpectedly found an ancient medicinal garden hidden by a powerful formation halfway there.

Just as he was about to break the formation by force, that Heavenly Calculator Zhuge Qing appeared out of nowhere, claiming this place was fated for him and telling Ning Yuan not to touch it.

The result...

Naturally, after a "friendly" exchange with Ning Yuan, he proactively "yielded" ownership of this medicinal garden and even "gifted" his personal dharma treasure—the Bagua Plate—to Ning Yuan as well.

"Sigh, these days, good people who are so helpful and generous are truly rare!"

Ning Yuan sighed while looting the entire medicinal garden, not leaving even a single blade of grass behind.

Under the accumulation of massive amounts of spiritual herbs, his aura surged significantly once again!

The Sun level barrier blocking him had become precarious, as if it could be broken through at any moment!

"Not far... from the Sun level!"

A sharp light burst from Ning Yuan's eyes, his heart filled with anticipation.

As long as he could step into the Sun level, his strength would surely undergo another qualitative leap!

At that time, even facing a true Martial King powerhouse, he would dare to clash head-on!

"Next, it's that Taixu Divine Tower!"

Ning Yuan identified the direction and cast his gaze toward the very center of the secret realm.

There, a towering divine tower pierced the clouds, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.

He no longer hesitated, his figure moving like lightning, turning into a streak of light and racing toward the tower!

Along the way, he conveniently dealt with many blind Void Beasts, and the Particle Core in his body continued to grow and condense.

The critical point of breakthrough was getting closer and closer!

Seven days later.

When Ning Yuan finally arrived beneath the divine tower, he was already shocked by the sight before him.

A towering divine tower, made of an unknown material and of an indeterminate height, stood quietly between heaven and earth.

Countless profound runes were engraved on the tower's body, emitting a terrifying aura that seemed to suppress all ages.

Just standing beneath the tower, one could feel a sense of insignificance and awe originating from the depths of the soul!

Around the divine tower, there was already a sea of people, gathering thousands of top geniuses from all over the Federation!

Each of them had a powerful aura and sharp eyes, clearly all here for this divine tower!

Seeing Ning Yuan's arrival, a small commotion immediately broke out in the crowd.

"Look! It's that Ning Yuan!"

"The ruthless guy who went on a killing spree in the Thunder King Pool, making even Xiang Kunlun and Zhuge Qing suffer at his hands?"

"Hiss... He looks ordinary, who would've thought he'd be so fierce?"

The gazes people cast at Ning Yuan were full of curiosity and awe, but of course, there was also a hint of hostility and disdain.

After all, in literature there is no first, and in martial arts there is no second.

Everyone present was a favored child of heaven; who would truly submit to another?

"Boss!"

Just then, two familiar figures squeezed out of the crowd—it was Zhou Qi and Lu Sheng.

"Boss, you finally made it! We thought you got lost!"

The two were excited, clearly having waited here for a long time.

Ning Yuan smilingly patted their shoulders.

"How is it? You didn't embarrass your boss, did you?"

"Of course not!"

The two puffed out their chests with pride.

"Even though our strength is lacking, the two of us teamed up and took down several Heaven-grade Void Beasts!"

Ning Yuan nodded, scanned the crowd, and soon found those two familiar figures.

Jiang Mingyue and Ling Wanhe.

The two were standing not far away, and seeing Ning Yuan look over, they both nodded in greeting.

Their auras were even more condensed than before; clearly, they had gained quite a bit over the past few days.

Just then.

Another commotion erupted in the crowd!

In the distant sky, six incredibly powerful auras, like six shooting stars, streaked across the sky and descended before the divine tower!

It was the remaining six top Prodigys among the "Eight Kings of the Human Race"!

Ice Emperor Ice Emperor, Void Sword Child Ji Xuan, Beast King Beast King, Buddhist Son Fa Chan, Yaoguang Saintess Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land...

And, that person emitting a bloodthirsty iron-and-blood aura, as if walking out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—the God of War!

The arrival of the six of them instantly pushed the atmosphere on the field to its peak!

Countless geniuses looked at them with eyes full of awe and fanaticism!

These were the existences truly standing at the pinnacle of the human race's younger generation!

However.

While everyone was shocked by the arrival of these six big shots, someone raised a doubtful voice.

"Strange... didn't they say 'Eight Kings of the Human Race'? Why did only six come?"

"Where are tyrant spear Xiang Kunlun and Heavenly Calculator Zhuge Qing? Where are they?"

"Yeah! With their strength, they should have arrived long ago, right?"

Hearing this, everyone was also surprised and began whispering to each other.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, a subtle, mischievous smile curled at the corner of Ning Yuan's mouth.

Where are they?

Heh, one was beaten into a pig's head by me and is probably still at home recovering.

As for the other... he probably never wants to see me again in his life, right?

His gloating expression naturally didn't escape Jiang Mingyue's eyes.

She quietly leaned in and looked at Ning Yuan with an extremely suspicious gaze, asking in a low voice:

"Hey, those two guys... it couldn't be your doing, could it?"

Hearing this, Ning Yuan blinked innocently.

"Take a guess?"
