150: Breakthrough of the Ninth Level, God's Pressure

Now, no one doubted Ye Kong's strength.

At the Martial Emperor Realm, he had charged into the S Shaqi Tower and had now reached the eighth level of the S Shaqi Tower.

This was no longer just about surpassing the God of Slaughter of the Great Ming Kingdom back then.

Ye Kong was now being targeted by the Ten Thousand Race.

Just like Long Ao, a Prodigy who defied the heavens would always be feared by the Ten Thousand Race.

If he had no background, he would either be wooed or eliminated!

They would never leave any future trouble.

Long Ao naturally had the protection of the Long Family's Divine, ensuring his safety.

But what about Ye Kong?

The S Shaqi Tower had already gathered an unknown number of Divine Senses.

The Divine Senses of Martial Saint powerhouses went without saying; the Divine Senses of Venerables and Divine had also gathered here.

Ye Kong's trial in entering the S Shaqi Tower had already attracted the attention of the Ten Thousand Race.

Whether Human Race or foreign race, all families and forces now had their own agendas.

If Ye Kong successfully escaped from the eighth level of the S Shaqi Tower, he would immediately become a thorn in the side of many foreign races.

Perhaps, as soon as Ye Kong emerged from the S Shaqi Tower, he would encounter a large number of people wanting to assassinate him.

Many people in the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race began to review their policies towards the Dragon Kingdom.

Judging by Ye Kong's current situation, he was definitely no worse than Long Ao! However, the external commotion had nothing to do with Ye Kong at the moment; he now had to focus on facing the powerful monsters in the eighth level of the S Shaqi Tower!

The strength of several monsters was already at the Half-step Venerable, Martial Saint Peak!

After several rounds of fighting, Ye Kong was sweating.

Fighting these monsters consumed a great deal of Thunder Power.

Looking at the degree of formation pattern condensation, it was already close to half!

Ye Kong gritted his teeth, knowing that if he continued to fight, he would be in great danger.

What Ye Kong was currently facing was equivalent to several nameless Martial Saint replicas of Long Ao.

Ye Kong roared, "I need more Killing Qi beads!"

The S Shaqi Tower rumbled again, the sky and earth changed color, and countless Thunder Light descended, striking the S Shaqi Tower with a roar.

For a time, strong winds blew, and dark clouds pressed down on the city.

Xue Ruyu looked at the celestial phenomenon and exclaimed, "It's a new anomaly!"

Thunder elements gathered from unknown places, and the dark sky continuously released lightning, as well as a large amount of Thunder elements.

The entire area around the S Shaqi Tower was a convergence of Thunder elements and Killing Qi.

The Thunder elements, like Killing Qi, were absorbed into the S Shaqi Tower through the windows of the eighth floor.

Ye Kong was currently gathering strength within the S Shaqi Tower.

A large amount of Thunder elements gathered into Ye Kong's body.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Kong's mouth as he looked at the several Half-step Venerable level monsters in front of him.

The Thunder Power gathered on the Nine Stars Linked Blades in his hand became increasingly violent.

More and more Thunder elements gathered outside the S Shaqi Tower, as if the heavens and earth were helping Ye Kong condense the formation patterns.

Until the Nine Stars Linked Blades could no longer bear more Thunder Power, Ye Kong immediately wielded the blade and slashed forward.

Xue Ruyu looked at the bloody sea anomaly of lightning and thunder in the sky, becoming nervous, and asked Senior Yang, "Senior Yang!"

"Ye Kong, is he really going to Breakthrough to the ninth level of the S Shaqi Tower?"

"No one knows what is in the ninth level of the S Shaqi Tower, but from the experience of the God of Slaughter of the Great Ming Kingdom, a Soul Eater probably resides within the tower."

Yang Wuji nodded, his expression also becoming solemn.

"Indeed, I have also heard that a Soul Eater resides within the S Shaqi Tower, on the top floor, which is the ninth level."

"Neither you nor I expected Ye Kong to be able to attack the eighth level, so we forgot about this legendary story."

Xue Ruyu was a little anxious and quickly asked, "Senior Yang, if the legend is true, the Soul Eater has at least Venerable cultivation. For Ye Kong, at the Martial Emperor Realm, to challenge two levels is too exaggerated."

"To be safe, why don't I charge into the S Shaqi Tower now and rescue Ye Kong!"

Yang Wuji stroked his beard and shook his head.

"No, this is a critical moment for Ye Kong to Breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm, and he is already experiencing great difficulties."

"If you rashly enter the tower and distract Ye Kong, allowing Evil Qi to enter his body, Ye Kong will likely be crippled even if he doesn't die."

Xue Ruyu's heart wavered, thinking, "Ye Kong, you must hold on! Don't force yourself to enter the ninth level!"

The experts and common people of the entire Wuji City were also very nervous at this time, all sweating for Ye Kong.

After all, attacking higher levels was one thing, but whether one could successfully pass the challenge and come out alive was another.

According to this, Ye Kong was definitely going to fight his way to the ninth level.

Many Dao Guang suddenly appeared above Wuji City.

This was not an anomaly; it was the arrival of Ten Thousand Race powerhouses.

Most of them were ordered by their backing big shots to personally investigate the situation.

Half an hour ago, when Ye Kong attacked the eighth level of the S Shaqi Tower, the experts of the Ten Thousand Race quickly received instructions from their behind-the-scenes big shots.

"Immediately go to the S Shaqi Tower in Wuji City and see who it is!"

This S Shaqi Tower, capable of absorbing the Killing Qi of the Ten Thousand Race Battlefield, was known to the world for its special function.

Now, someone had actually broken into the eighth level. How could such a Prodigy not be worth seeing?

These Ten Thousand Race powerhouses landed on the desert outside the S Shaqi Tower, quietly observing the S Shaqi Tower.

Yang Wuji frowned and gave Xue Ruyu a look.

"Don't let these people get close to the S Shaqi Tower. This will affect the gathering of external Thunder elements, and if it indirectly affects Ye Kong, then there will be a big problem!"

"Understood!" Xue Ruyu stepped onto the city wall, True Qi circulating, and flew towards the S Shaqi Tower.

The group of powerhouses on the desert released True Qi to resist the Killing Qi emanating from the S Shaqi Tower and stepped closer to the S Shaqi Tower.

Their mission was to ascertain the identity and strength of the person in the S Shaqi Tower.

They also had to investigate the situation within the S Shaqi Tower, and if possible, they had another mission.

"If there's a chance, kill this person, bring back his head, and your reward will be considerable!"

"Yes!"

A foreign race powerhouse had already approached the gate of the S Shaqi Tower.

The character 'danger' on the door immediately materialized, but in the next second, it was shattered by this powerhouse.

"I thought entering the tower would be difficult, but it's nothing more than this!" With that, this person was about to push the door open and enter.

"Presumptuous! The S Shaqi Tower belongs to Wuji City, how dare you peek at it!" With a loud shout, Xue Ruyu descended from the sky, a long spear appearing in her hand at some point.

Xue Ruyu, holding the spear, smashed down from the air, and one spear pierced into the chest of this foreign race powerhouse.

The foreign race powerhouse let out an exclamation, grabbing the spear shaft that had already pierced his body, looking at Xue Ruyu in front of him in horror.

"If you want to see, then use your Soul to see!"

Xue Ruyu's expression was cold, and the long spear in her hand was directly pulled out from the foreign race's body, bringing out a large amount of blood.

The foreign race rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, and stopped breathing.

Xue Ruyu flicked the long spear, shaking off the blood from the spearhead, then pointed it at the surrounding foreign races.

"Listen up, all of you. I haven't settled the score with you for invading Wuji City, and now you dare to peek at the S Shaqi Tower?"

"Whoever dares to take another step forward, I will use this spear to make him leave his head behind!"

The surrounding foreign races stopped in their tracks, all looking at Xue Ruyu.

Xue Ruyu had long been stationed in Wuji City, and most foreign races recognized her, so they did not dare to act rashly for a time.

Yang Wuji looked at a Divine Thought in the sky at this moment, his heart on guard.

There were many Divine Senses investigating the S Shaqi Tower, but only this one Divine Thought was filled with Killing Intent, making Yang Wuji wary.

He could have waved his hand and made the foreign races in the desert scram, but with this Divine Thought full of Killing Intent present, Yang Wuji had to be cautious.

So-called Divine, having mastered the power of the Law of heaven and earth, could kill across space or directly perform space jumps.

It was hard to say that this Divine Thought wouldn't attack Ye Kong at the moment Yang Wuji waved his hand.

Several foreign race powerhouses grunted and cursed at Xue Ruyu, "Human, do you really intend to deal with so many of us alone?"

Xue Ruyu's expression was calm, and she only responded with one sentence: "A rabble!"

"You!" The surrounding foreign races all became angry, but they did not want to fight Xue Ruyu.

Moreover, their mission was to investigate intelligence, not to fight.

Just as both sides were in a stalemate, a Thunder Light flashed.

The foreign race powerhouses all cast their gazes towards this Thunder Light.

"This, this is--"

"This familiar Thunder Light!" "No mistake, it's definitely him!"

"It's that guy named Ye Kong! He's inside the S Shaqi Tower!"

All the surrounding foreign races were shocked, not expecting it to be Ye Kong, who had successively killed several of their foreign race Martial Saints!

"Since this is the case, we can't not kill him!"

The foreign race powerhouses discovered that the person in the S Shaqi Tower was actually Ye Kong, and immediately decided to eliminate this hidden danger!

They wanted to avenge Wuji City!

"Ye Kong killed many of our Martial Saint powerhouses, leading to our failed siege. Today, we must finish him here!"

"That's right, if we let him go today and he comes out, wouldn't he become a major threat to us in the future!"

Xue Ruyu's brows were furrowed, her eyes cold, as she calmly faced the stares of these foreign race Martial Saints, shouting, "Whoever wants to die, come forward!"

After the Thunder Light descended, the S Shaqi Tower shook violently again, and countless Killing Qi spewed out.

"What's going on?"

"Wait, could it be that Ye Kong is absorbing the power of Killing Qi inside to Undergo Tribulation!"

They guessed correctly. Ye Kong had already killed the monsters in the eighth level of the S Shaqi Tower, and his formation patterns were rapidly improving, just a hair's breadth away from entering the Martial Saint Realm!

However, this last bit was also the most difficult. It seemed he could only continue forward and ascend to the ninth level!

For Ye Kong, nothing could stop him from Breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm now!

Let me see what is in the ninth level!

When the red light of the ninth level of the S Shaqi Tower lit up, the S Shaqi Tower released boundless Killing Qi, almost covering the entire sky.

The anomalies produced by Ye Kong's previous condensation of formation patterns and release of Asura's might were all overturned, and only boundless blood-red remained in the sky.

The ninth level of the S Shaqi Tower!

The Human Race was shaken, all the Divine were shaken, and the Ten Thousand Race were shaken!

A Divine Sense flashed in the sky, and suddenly space was torn apart. Countless Law powers seemed to have broken through their limitations in that instant.

A powerful pressure made the foreign races in the desert and Xue Ruyu and others unable to lift their heads.

A non-human large hand stretched out from the torn space and pressed towards the S Shaqi Tower!
