The Forbidden Square was anything but tranquil, with everyone discussing Lu Yunâs might and hoping he would continue his sweeping advance to accomplish the feat of reaching the summit of the Forbidden Towerâa feat that had remained unachieved by the Tai Yuan pulse for millennia.
However, there were still three steps remaining, three formidable opponents, each potentially stronger than Dongfang Qing, who had been defeated earlier. Could Lu Yun continue to overcome his adversaries?
Moreover, since beginning his battles on the fifteenth floor of the Forbidden Tower, Lu Yun had already fought fifteen confrontations.
His weakest opponents were at the eleventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm, who, in any era, were genuine Heavenly Prides.
Stronger still were the insurmountable Heavenly Prides like Ran Qianshan, with his Intense Brightness Sovereign Body, and Dongfang Qing with his Purple Extreme Star Celestial Body.
Either of them, taken alone, would be enough to dominate an era in both the Tai Yuan pulse and the Green Flame Palace.
Lu Yun, having started from the fifteenth floor and facing so many formidable enemies, including fighting two powerful and invincible Holy Body Prides, could he maintain his unbeatable stance and continue his journey?
Everyoneâs hearts couldnât help but leap to their throats.
âSomeone from the Tai Yuan pulse has really entered the sixteenth floor of the Forbidden Tower?â Several mysterious figures descended one after another, each forming a special âdomainâ in an area of the void. Apart from a very few people, no one realized they had arrived.
Even those so-called Elite Disciples and most of the Stewards had only vaguely sensed a slight disturbance in the void, guessing in their hearts.
Dongfang Qing slightly raised his eyelids, his brows furrowed slightly before relaxing quickly.
These people were Heavenly Prides from the other six pulses, competitors of the Tai Yuan pulse, and it made sense for them to come and join in the excitement upon learning that another twelvefold Heavenly Pride had emerged from the Tai Yuan pulse.
âHehe, have the upstarts from the Tongtian, Zheng Yang, Changfeng, Qingxuan, Luoyun, and Yuqing pulses also arrived?â The World Master of Yangshuo narrowed his eyes slightly.
At their level, the squabbles of the seven pulses were mostly beneath their notice.
Only those with the topmost talent among the Heavenly Prides could pique their interest.
Conveniently, the individuals now descending upon the Forbidden Tower were the most exceptionally talented from the other six pulses.
âIn this era filled with emerging Heavenly Prides, itâs unknown how far they can go. If they all grow up, perhaps one day, our Green Flame Palace could advance even further,â another World Master murmured softly.
From another direction, a voice transmitted: âWe look forward to them growing up quickly, so we old relics can appropriately begin to step back.â
The realms where the World Masters were situated were independent within the void, communicating through a special energy medium, unknown to anyone outside their echelon.
âEh, someone has already reached the seventh step?!â The speaker was a man, tall and with eyes like bright stars, surrounded by an invisible current of air that seemed to freeze the space around him.
This was his domain, manipulating the rules of wind, controlling the spatial domain around him.
Following Zhang Zeduanâs light exclamation, the Elite Disciples of the Tai Yuan pulse finally noticed the anomaly and looked towards a certain point in the void, their pupils slightly constricting.
âThe Heavenly Pride of the Changfeng pulse, Zhang Zeduan!â
âNot only that, I fear other Heavenly Prides from the five pulses have likely arrived as well!â
âIt seems that the news of a new twelvefold Heavenly Pride from the Tai Yuan pulse has already spread throughout the Green Flame Palace.â
The Elite Disciples, with their senses focused inward, whispered amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, inside the Forbidden Tower, Lu Yun finally faced his seventh opponent.
âSwoosh!â
The Cloud Sea churned, Divine Brilliance blossomed, and an imposing young man appeared, clad in Divine Power armor, striding forward like a dragon and a tiger, his majestic presence striking awe into oneâs soul, his eyes radiating calm confidence as he stared at Lu Yun.
âDivine light surges, battle spirit fills the heavens; it seems Iâve encountered a formidable opponent this time!â the young man said with a smile.
âYou are also not a bad opponent,â Lu Yun replied calmly, an indescribable peace and composure on his face.
From the divine-powered battle armor on the young man and the Divine Brilliance radiating from him, it was clear he was a Heavenly Pride who practiced the Saint Body Method Cultivation.
Even so, Lu Yun remained serene and composed in the face of the challenge.
Having reached this point, no matter the strength of the opponent, he would continue to fight.
Furthermore, his battle with Dongfang Qing had slightly improved his Great Sun Undying Golden Body, and even his application of the holy body Anomaly had advanced further.
The young man drew his single hand through the void, causing the starsâ radiance to surge. A Black Long Spear emerged, bringing with it a hazy power of the void.
His gaze sharpening, the Divine Light burning intensely, he held the spear in one hand, pointing it at Lu Yun, and declared solemnly, âMy battles decide both victory and life or death. Are you prepared?â
âOf course, I canât advance to the next level unless I completely shatter you,â said Lu Yun, a speck of golden light emerging amidst his thick flowing hair, quickly transforming into golden color, draping over his shoulders, enveloped in golden Divine Brilliance, emanating an aura of invincibility.@@novelbin@@
âGreat Sun Undying Golden Body?â
Upon seeing Lu Yunâs Sacred Body mode, the young man murmured to himself, seeming to recall the past, his expression complex.
In his era, among the younger generation, he was considered an insurmountable peak, with only one person capable of vying with him.
However, after the other cultivated the holy body Anomaly, and he remained trapped at that step for a long time, never moving forward.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have stopped there.
âVery well, letâs have another decisive battle today to continue the fight we never finished.â
The young manâs eyes blazed with Divine Light, his fighting spirit soaring, as he stepped forward, the Spear cutting through the void, carrying the might to pierce through it, unleashing the most dazzling fighting spirit towards Lu Yun.
