556: Chapter 559 Ancient Origin Dimensional Demon God

The longer the battle lasted,

the more Lu Chen's combat skills would improve.

He had never experienced a battle like this.

In the past, he had always crushed his opponents with absolute power.

Even when he was as weak as an ant,

he could rely on the System's permissions to instantly gain overwhelming strength,

effortlessly destroying his enemies.

"Your Highness, we believe you should stop here."

"The strength you are currently displaying is only enough to support you up to this floor at most."

"Apologies."

The two Guardians spoke in low voices, their tones filled with confusion.

Lu Chen simply gave a faint smile.

"What are you talking about?"

"Our battle has only just begun."

"Supreme Body!"

Lu Chen activated his Physique talent.

In an instant, his body turned into pure light.

A crown appeared out of thin air above his head, and his face became divinely extraordinary, making it impossible for others to look directly at him.

With this transformation,

his power surged a thousandfold.

"I am enjoying this battle very much."

"Perhaps one day, I will visit your main bodies."

Lu Chen said in a relaxed tone.

Hearing these words, the two Guardians instantly felt their hair stand on end.

Before they could respond,

Lu Chen swung his sword down, and their bodies instantly disintegrated, turning into cosmic dust that filled the air.

He stepped toward the portal leading to the twenty-sixth floor.

And the Guardian of that floor

likewise welcomed his arrival with an attitude of incomparable respect.

Lu Chen was not stupid.

He now understood that he was very likely the Reincarnation of a certain God of Origin.

And You Luo was perhaps his follower from back then.

"But what exactly happened to make me fall from being a God of Origin to the point of Reincarnation and Rebirth?"

He imagined countless possibilities in his mind,

but he could never find a reasonable answer.

You Luo refused to mention anything related to his past.

She was likely under some kind of Restriction,

or would suffer terrible punishment for doing so.

Therefore, Lu Chen never asked her directly.

Ever since coming to this Ascension Tower,

he was even more certain that something world-shaking must have happened in his past.

These Guardians viewed his sword with both reverence and fear.

Clearly,

he must have performed some feat beyond imagination in the past.

"I must go to the thirty-sixth layer of the Origin Dimension to find out the truth."

"If the reason for my Reincarnation was because I feared some Devil Head, was betrayed, or was beaten to death... that would be too embarrassing."

Lu Chen muttered to himself.

After defeating the Guardian of the twenty-sixth floor,

Lu Chen took a deep breath.

"System, get ready."

"It's time to start our plan."

Meanwhile, outside the Secret Realm,

the other twelve Trial Participants of the Origin God Clan had already all exited the Ascension Tower.

Among them, the one with the best result had only reached the sixteenth floor.

But at this moment, no one cared about their achievements...

not even the Trial Participants themselves.

Because everyone's gaze was drawn to a historic Breakthrough.

And the person who created this Breakthrough

was not Lu Chen,

but Lin Fan.

He had actually reached the thirtieth floor!

This was exactly where the strongest God of Origin of that year had stopped!

And everyone had already forgotten

that Lu Chen had also passed the twenty-sixth floor.

At the top of the thirtieth floor,

Lin Fan stood proudly, holding a holy sword.

Although his body was covered in wounds from the Guardian's attacks,

he still stood firm,

an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.

He knew very well

that with just this holy sword, it was impossible for him to defeat the enemy before him.

The strongest God of Origin of that year

had met with bitter defeat on the thirty-first floor after passing the thirtieth.

Lin Fan finally realized

that there was still an insurmountable gap between himself and the truly powerful.

"To hell with rationality!"

"As long as I am strong enough, I can take control of my own destiny!"

"At that time, not even the System can dream of controlling me!" Lin Fan roared.

He had already prepared himself to be abandoned by the System.

He wanted to become a supreme powerhouse who stood above all things.

Even without the System, no one would be able to shake his status.

"Cursed Sword! Show me your power!"

Lin Fan bellowed.

In an instant,

limitless dark energy surged into his body,

completely repairing his broken frame.

A sense of power that reigned over the world swept through his entire body.

Lin Fan seemed to have become omnipotent.

Then,

his consciousness plummeted into a boundless dark abyss...

That dark energy had completely corroded his mind.

[Warning! The Host is suffering from an invasion of unknown energy! System initiating reboot sequence!]

Before the System's prompt could finish,

an unfamiliar voice echoed in Lin Fan's mind.

"Hmm? Where am I?"

"You guys... get out of my body!"

That voice was full of confusion and roared again.

The next second,

the System inside Lin Fan's body was instantly erased, disappearing without a trace.

"An Ancient Origin Demon God?"

Seeing the terrifying aura radiating from Lin Fan,

the two Guardians instantly felt a suffocating fear.

"Begone."

With just that one word,

the two Guardians were annihilated without any power to resist.

The Ancient Origin Demon God sat at the top of the thirtieth floor,

beginning to merge with Lin Fan's memories.

[Congratulations on passing the thirtieth floor. Please choose a reward.]

A prompt sounded in his mind.

But the Demon God turned a deaf ear to it.

After completely merging with Lin Fan's memories,

the Demon God finally spoke.

"Ascension Tower? Those bastards even set up sub-towers in this tomb?"

"One day, I will destroy them all. But for now, I must keep a low profile."

"My main body is still sealed, and my Divine Soul is residing in this Physical Body. I must erase all his memories and then implant false ones..."

"To make him believe that he is Lin Fan, with his only goal being to become the strongest."

At the top of the thirty-sixth floor,

an old man sat leisurely by a simple wooden table.

A young woman beside him was pouring tea for him.

"Oh? That annoying little demon brat actually backed off? He has some level of alertness."

The old man took a sip of tea, turned his gaze to the distance, and muttered to himself.

"And that little guy... clearly possessing such terrifying power, how did he fall to such a state?"

Meanwhile, on the twenty-sixth floor:

[Master, everything is ready. We can begin.]

Lu Chen's figure was instantly teleported to the twenty-seventh floor.

Before the Guardian could speak,

he directly activated the System's permissions and killed him with one sword strike.

In just seven seconds,

he slaughtered his way all the way to the thirtieth floor,

slaying all the Guardians along the way.

"Congratulations on passing the thirtieth floor. Please choose a reward:"

"Divine Fruit"

"Divine Artifact"

"Divine Skill"

"Another reward?"

"It seems the power System of the next floor is going to change again."
