153: Chapter 153 Reaching the Summit! Baptism of the Primordial Void!

"The War God... has been defeated..."

When the broken black blade, symbolizing slaughter and glory, clattered to the ground on the light screen, countless sighs rippled through the crowd at the foot of Sacred Martial Mountain like autumn leaves in the wind.

This wasn't mockery for the War God's weakness, but a heartfelt lament for the fall of a powerhouse.

That legendary youth who had crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, achieved illustrious military merits for the army, and was even regarded as one of the Human Race's trump cards, had ultimately fallen at the Peak of this Divine Tower that represented the highest glory.

And the one who defeated him was a monster even younger, more arrogant, and more despair-inducing!

"Ning Yuan..."

"He actually did it..."

"One person, alone, swept through the entire Taixu Divine Tower! He crushed those high-and-mighty 'New Eight Kings' like bugs, one by one!"

"How the hell is this a tower trial? This is clearly a one-sided massacre show!"

Shock, awe, fanaticism, and even a hint of indescribable fear intertwined in everyone's hearts.

They looked at the white-robed figure standing proudly in the center of the hundredth-floor stone chamber on the light screen, as if witnessing the rise of a new uncrowned king!

Jiang Mingyue stood in the crowd, looking at the slightly tattered hem of Ning Yuan's clothes, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"This guy still has a bit of a conscience, knowing to leave the War God some dignity."

She could see that although Ning Yuan's final strike was terrifyingly powerful, it didn't carry the sharp killing intent or humiliation he had shown toward the others.

It was a form of respect for a well-matched opponent, using the strongest power to see the War God off.

"However..."

Jiang Mingyue's gaze fell on the Chaos-colored gas cloud above the altar, a fiery light flashing in her eyes.

"The real highlight is only just beginning!"

"taixu origin... that's a supreme Opportunity that even I in my past life never laid a finger on!"

"I wonder what height this guy will reach after absorbing it?"

"King-level? Or... even higher?"

Inside the hundredth floor of the Divine Tower.

Ning Yuan slowly retracted the dragon slaughter spear and, with a casual wave, took the broken blade left behind by the War God into his dimensional bracelet.

Although the material of this blade was average and even full of nicks, it had accompanied a true warrior through countless life-and-death situations. Its body was stained with an indelible iron-blooded will, making it a rare collectible.

After finishing all this, he finally turned his gaze toward the altar in the center of the stone chamber.

There.

That head-sized Chaos-colored gas cloud was slowly writhing.

Every movement felt like a breath, emitting a supreme aura that made every cell in Ning Yuan's body tremble with frenzy!

"taixu origin..."

Ning Yuan licked his lips, a sharp light exploding in his eyes.

He no longer hesitated, strode toward the altar, and pressed both hands directly onto the Chaos-colored gas cloud!

Boom!

The moment his hands touched the taixu origin!

The entire Taixu Divine Tower seemed to be awakened from a billion-year slumber, letting out a violent roar!

On the tower, those originally dim and ancient runes erupted with a light more dazzling than the sun at this moment, shooting straight into the clouds!

Not just inside the Divine Tower.

Even outside, the sky of the entire Taixu Secret Realm changed color!

Clouds rolled backward, and thunder and lightning flashed!

A vast and boundless power of Origin, seemingly capable of encompassing all things in the Universe, flowed along the altar like the Nine Heavens' Milky Way pouring down, frantically surging into Ning Yuan's body!

"Argh—!"

Even with Ning Yuan's monstrous King-level Physical Body, he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain and pleasure when facing this extremely violent infusion of Origin!

It was too massive!

It was too pure!

This taixu origin truly lived up to its reputation as a supreme treasure refined by the Sages of the Human Race from the core of an ancient Secret Realm!

It didn't need any refining process at all; the moment it entered the body, it automatically decomposed into the most primitive and purest energy and Law fragments!

Rumble!

The golden essence sea inside Ning Yuan's body, which was already as vast as a sea of stars, was like an ignited powder keg under the impact of this Origin power, beginning a frantic expansion and churning!

The edges of the essence sea continued to extend outward, as if wanting to break the limits of the human body and truly open up a Small World within this square inch!

Above this churning golden ocean.

The three visions—immortal ancient star, Primordial Divine Elephant, and Nine Heavens True Dragon—also underwent an unprecedented transformation under the nourishment of this Origin power!

The immortal ancient star became even larger and more solid; not only did mountains and rivers evolve upon it, but a hint of the rhythm of life even began to appear!

The Primordial Divine Elephant's body was no longer an illusion but grew real flesh and tusks, with every breath sounding like a thunderous roar!

The scales of the Nine Heavens True Dragon became even more brilliant and eye-catching. It churned the waters in the essence sea, emitting a dragon prestige that could even crush the Void Realm!

These three visions were gradually turning from illusion to reality, transforming toward true "Dharma Idols"!

This was an all-around, terrifying enhancement without any blind spots!

Ning Yuan's Physical Body was being constantly torn apart and reconstructed, his Meridians were being constantly widened and reinforced, and his Divine Soul became as brilliant and resilient as a diamond under the nourishment of this Origin!

He could clearly feel that he was only one paper-thin layer away from the Realm that countless Prodigies dreamed of!

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

"This little bit of Origin is not enough for me to achieve a perfect Breakthrough!"

Ning Yuan shouted frantically in his heart, his eyes bloodshot.

He knew that if he just wanted to casually break through to the King Realm, this energy was already more than enough.

But what he, Ning Yuan, wanted was never "casual"!

He wanted to be the strongest! To be invincible! To have a perfect Foundation that broke all conventions!

He wanted to possess terrifying combat power sufficient to crush those veteran Martial Kings the moment he broke through!

Just as he felt his strength flagging and was prepared to forcibly charge at the barrier.

That System notification sound, like heavenly music, finally rang out in his mind right on time!

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host has swept through the Taixu Divine Tower with an invincible posture and successfully reached the hundredth floor!]

[And under the watchful eyes of the public, you have pulled off a flawless and refined act of posturing!]

[Not only have you completed the summit task, but you have also caused countless onlookers to develop deep awe and worship for you (though mixed with quite a bit of jealousy and the urge to hit you)!]

[Congratulations to the Host! You have successfully completed the long-term main quest—within three years, reach the Peak of the younger generation in the Taixu Secret Realm! (You only used less than a month; even the System gives you a thumbs up for this efficiency!)]

[Quest Reward: A wisp of the supreme treasure for breaking through to the King Realm—"primordial violet qi"!]

"primordial violet qi!"

Hearing these four words, Ning Yuan's eyes instantly widened like copper bells, his breathing as hurried as a broken bellows!

It's here!

The final piece of the puzzle he had been waiting for so bitterly has finally arrived!

"brother tongzi! You're finally reliable for once!"

Without any hesitation, Ning Yuan roared frantically in his heart:

"Claim!"

Buzz—!

Following his command.

A tiny, imperceptible purple airflow that emitted an aura making all things in heaven and earth surrender appeared out of thin air in his Sea of Consciousness!

As soon as this violet qi appeared, the Laws of the entire Taixu Divine Tower, and even the entire Taixu Secret Realm, seemed to be struck by some terrible fright, letting out a violent hum!

The Foundation of Ten Thousand Paths! The Essence of Becoming a Sage!

Even if it was just a wisp, the Great Dao intent it contained was enough to make anyone go crazy!

Ning Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He guided that wisp of primordial violet qi to slowly sink into his Dantian Qi Sea.

Boom!

The moment this wisp of violet qi came into contact with the boiling golden essence sea and the majestic taixu origin.

It was like throwing a spark into a boiling pot of oil!

An unprecedented and unparalleled ultimate transformation...

...officially began!
