144: Chapter 144 Star Giant, Quasi-God-Level Combat Power!

Entering the fifth floor.

The surrounding scenery instantly transformed into a boundless starry sky.

Li Fan floated beneath the stars as a vast meteor shower surged toward him from ahead.

The power of this meteor shower was immense; if an ordinary Saint Rank were struck, they would likely be shattered instantly.

When Li Fan first arrived at the fifth floor, he had underestimated these meteors; after being struck only a few dozen times, his physical body had crumbled.

It had even caused him to doubt his life for a while.

He, who had always prided himself on his powerful physique, had actually been smashed to pieces by a few rocks.

However, the current Li Fan was no longer comparable to who he was back then.

Bang!

Li Fan shattered a mountain-sized meteor with a single punch, then shifted his body, nimbly weaving through the meteor shower.

It was unclear how much time had passed.

The meteor shower was finally coming to an end.

Li Fan also finally saw the true guardian of the fifth floor.

It was an incredibly massive Starry Sky Giant.

Its entire body was composed of meteors of various colors, and its pair of eyes were like two terrifying volcanic springs; its aura was quite formidable.

At the same time, it held a giant club made of meteors; the astral winds generated just by its swings were enough to be lethal.

Whish!

The moment it saw Li Fan, the Starry Sky Giant swung that massive club with extreme speed, its terrifying power making the space itself seem as if it were about to shatter.

However, facing this strike, Li Fan dodged it with a very fluid and uncanny twist of his body.

This was exactly the Wind-Treading Art after reaching Great Mastery!

Previously, even if Li Fan used the Wind-Treading Art, he couldn't dodge the Starry Sky Giant's attacks, but now, everything was different.

Bang!

After dodging that strike, Li Fan took advantage of the giant's momentary pause, immediately stepping on flying meteors to soar upward, charging straight for the Starry Sky Giant's face.

"Now!"

"Star-Collapsing Fist!!"

Li Fan leaped up, forming a fist seal, and violently punched toward the giant's glabella.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Following a terrifyingly loud boom.

The Starry Sky Giant's massive head instantly shattered, turning into a meteor shower that poured in all directions.

Watching this scene.

Li Fan couldn't help but feel his heart swell with emotion.

The Starry Sky Giant, which had once seemed almost unbeatable to him, could now be handled with ease.

His current strength was already comparable to an average Quasi-God!

Once he absorbed the energy stones and raised his level further, his strength could advance even more!

It really has to be the Dark Star!

Without the Dark Star, it would have been absolutely impossible to reach this height in such a short time.

Of course, this also had a direct relationship with his own nearly twenty-four-hour non-stop training.

It could be said that both were indispensable.

And while Li Fan was reflecting, a pure white, flawless light gate appeared before him.

That was the entrance to the sixth floor.

Li Fan did not hesitate and walked straight in.

He wasn't confident he could pass this sixth floor, but he could at least get a general look.

Arriving at the sixth floor.

Just after entering.

Li Fan appeared on a desolate planet.

Looking into the distance, there was only endless loess.

And looking up, he could see seven incredibly brilliant points of light.

Those were seven suns!

Such a scene truly made Li Fan quite curious.

And in the next second.

The seven suns transformed into seven massive fiery red phoenixes.

Li Fan's expression changed.

Because those seven phoenixes were already charging toward him.

Soon.

After Li Fan slew three phoenixes, he was turned to ash by a terrifying breath of flame.

"For every one killed, the combat power of all the remaining phoenixes will rise by another level."

"With my current strength, I'm still a bit lacking for this stage; after I raise my level again, perhaps I can pass it."

Taking off the helmet.

Li Fan now had a rough assessment of the situation on the sixth floor.

To pass this sixth floor.

One would likely need the strength of a Mid-grade Quasi-God, or even a High-grade Quasi-God.

The current Li Fan was not quite there yet.

He took a deep breath.

After resting for a bit, Li Fan went to the cultivation room and began the process of absorbing the energy stones.

There were only three days left until the Civilization Assessment.

He had to race against time now.

"I wonder what level my strength will reach once I emerge from seclusion in peak condition?"

Li Fan was looking forward to it very much.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In the heart of Great Xia.

Duke Yu's private office.

"Is there any news from Da Guo and Xiao Lan yet?"

Duke Yu sat cross-legged by the floor-to-ceiling window and spoke calmly.

As these words fell.

A figure slowly emerged from the surrounding void.

It was a very scrawny Middle-aged Man, yet the aura emanating from his body was terrifying.

"They haven't emerged from seclusion yet."

"However, trying to break through to that realm will likely be quite difficult."

The Middle-aged Man slowly shook his head, his expression very solemn.

Duke Yu paused for a moment, then nodded and spoke slowly,

"There are still three days."

"These will be the three days that decide the fate of our human civilization."

"If any one of them breaks through to that realm after three days, we'll be able to barely put up a fight; then it will depend on the battlefield of the younger generation."

"Bo Jun seems to have broken through to Quasi-God, hasn't he?"

"As long as we can hold out, there shouldn't be too many problems on the younger generation's side."

"If they still haven't broken through after three days, then I'm afraid..."

Reaching the end.

A flash of reluctance crossed Duke Yu's deep eyes, and he didn't continue.

The Middle-aged Man by his side also knew what Duke Yu wanted to say next.

"Let's see; there are still three days. Although the chances of Da Guo and the others breaking through are slim, it's not completely without hope."

The Middle-aged Man sighed and spoke softly.
