Chapter 611: One-Star Tower, Level One Hundred (4)

Merely three days later, an explosive piece of news spread at an alarming rate, shaking countless eldritch tribes across the vast expanse of Huanggu: the Hou Cheng Tribe had fallen!

This marked the first high-tier eldritch tribe ranked in the top hundred to be annihilated since the onset of the eldritch-immortal conflict.

Facing the army led by an Imperial Majesty of the immortal race, twelve Earth Eldritches all perished. Of the over six hundred million tribesmen within the tribe, not a single one survived.

"Kill!"

"Take revenge!"

"Strike back!" Swiftly, the four Archeldritch tribes reached a consensus and began full-scale retaliation.

In less than ten days, six high-tier immortal cities fell.

Across the vast territories surrounding Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the two great factions, whose conflicts had somewhat abated over the past tens of thousands of years, once again erupted into a terrifying war!

The armies clashed again and again, with super powerhouses engaging in life-or-death battles. Numerous Eldritch Generals, Immortal Generals, and Earth Eldritches and Earth Immortals began to fall.

...

"We failed to kill Hou Feng. The threat is still present," Imperial Majesty Da Yan stated with absolute certainty, though his repeated attempts at divination brought even more severe backlash.

Divining destiny, even with a Creation Divine Artifact, was not something a mere High Immortal could easily endure.

"Then we fight. Attack! Engage in a bloody battle with the eldritch race, pressure them, kindle their hatred, and destroy one eldritch tribe after another. We shall lure more High Eldritches to leave the Archeldritch tribes to conduct large-scale patrols," Imperial Majesty Nan You said with icy calm.

"They can only defend, but cannot truly launch a major counterattack. With our backs to Heavenly Pillar Mountain, they cannot harm us.

We shall wait for our chance. When the number of High Eldritches within the Earth Archeldritch tribe drops to a certain limit, we will commit all the forces of our Immortal Court, strike, and pay an enormous price to kill him," Imperial Majesty Nan You said with unwavering composure.

...

A terrifying war was thus ignited between the Huanggu eldritch race and immortal race over Wu Yuan’s life.

It only grew increasingly brutal over time, with even Imperial Majesties and Heavenly Masters occasionally taking action. High Immortals and High Eldritches began to fall.

The level of intensity rivaled the two Battles of Heavenly Pillar Mountain, with none but the highest echelons of the immortal race aware of their true purpose.

As for the eldritch race, they could only speculate, but their pride as the world's overlords made them fearless.

Moreover, they had no choice but to confront the challenge. Countless eldritch tribes populated the land, and if the four great Archeldritch tribes didn’t take action and send out large numbers of High Eldritches and Earth Eldritches to patrol and fight, the top powerhouses of the immortal race would systematically destroy weaker eldritch tribes one by one.

Their strategy was transparent. And in the eyes of the eldritch race, if the life of an Earth Eldritch could be exchanged for that of an Earth Immortal, or the life of a High Eldritch for a High Immortal, it was worth it. After all, how many powerhouses did the entire immortal race have in total?

While the entire Huanggu was undergoing an upheaval, Wu Yuan, immersed in secluded cultivation within the Archeldritch Hall, remained completely unaware.

The years passed.

Whether it was the Law of Celestial Body, Law of Longevity, or the Law of Life, the progress of Wu Yuan's body refiner self was nothing short of mind-boggling.

Even the Law of True Domain was advancing at an astonishing pace under the influence of his qi refiner self, albeit slightly slower.

...

In a distant spacetime beyond the mysterious Huanggu, in the Bei You Realm of the Greenridge Macrocosm.

Within the meditation chamber of Wu Yuan's qi refiner self's residence in the Immortal Belvedere.

Hiss~

A hazy, vast and ethereal Dao fluctuation had completely enveloped Wu Yuan's qi refiner self, giving him an otherworldly appearance.

Hum~ Hum~

Silently, nine lifelike silhouettes of Wu Yuan were formed within the meditation chamber. Each silhouette was incredibly realistic.

Even an Earth Immortal, probing with Soul Will at the Yuan Soul level, would likely be unable to perceive any difference.

Is this the True Intent of True Domain?

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self opened his eyes, sensing the Space fluctuations around him, flowing like water. It was crystal clear.

If Wu Yuan so desired, he could merge into the Fragmentary Spatial Layer, enabling his speed and movement skills to explode to an unimaginable degree.

Merely six years. What exactly did my body refiner self experience in the Immutable Land?

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self marveled inwardly.

The first month after the body refiner self left, everything seemed normal. Then changes began to occur, with unprecedented progress in both the Life Dao and several Intermediate Laws.

The rate of progress surpassed Wu Yuan's qi refiner self's imagination. Even the Immutable Land could not isolate the shared Dao comprehension between the two true selves. This was a living being's insight into the profundities of heaven and earth, incredibly difficult to strip away!

True Domain, one of the three Intermediate Laws of Space.

Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Also one of the three Intermediate Laws of Life.

I’ve reached the True Intent stage. Even my comprehension of the Life Dao has reached the sixth-level Domain stage in just six years.

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self could clearly sense his comprehension into the Law of Life.

His progress was truly too fast. Frighteningly so, with the power he could harness from the Law of Life alone now surpassing any single Intermediate Law Wu Yuan had comprehended.

However, the synergy of the three Intermediate True Intents still slightly surpasses the Law of Life.

Wu Yuan smiled faintly.

Merely employing the first-level True Intent stage of both Celestial Body and Longevity in harmony could rival the fourth-level Dao Field stage of a Lesser Law.

Once True Domain True Intent was added, the power after harmonization could rival the seventh-level Dao Field stage, even before fusion. This level of Dao comprehension already matched peak-stage High Immortals.

Originally, I thought there was no chance of succeeding before reaching a hundred years old. Now, it seems I can give it a try.

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self sent a strand of consciousness into the Eternal Sun Immortal Voidrealm.

Within ‘Ming Jian’s’ personal hall.

Seven Star Luminaries Tower.

Wu Yuan quickly found what he was looking for.

This Ming Jian identity I've been assigned has only cleared level fifty?

Li Xia and Ming Jian were two separate identities prepared by Immortal Sovereign Bei You.

Let's go.

Wu Yuan was directly transported from his personal hall to the Seven Star Luminaries Tower.

As a grand disciple of the Immortal Sovereign, though not part of the core of the Eternal Sun Immortal World, he still had extremely high privileges.

In the vast world of the Seven Star Luminaries Tower.

One-star tower!

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self flew directly into the one-star tower.

His actual age was ninety-five, but the 'Ming Jian' identity created by Immortal Sovereign Bei You was now ninety-nine years old. Two years older than ‘Li Xia’, four years older than 'Wu Yuan'.

The backdrop of level fifty of the one-star tower was a vast expanse of sky. Wu Yuan's qi refiner self appeared out of thin air.

Hum!

A black-robed guardian materialized not far away.

"Challenger, to reach me before turning one hundred, you're considered a decent talent," the black-robed guardian said coldly.

"A decent talent? How familiar those words sound." Wu Yuan smiled slightly. "Over countless years, do you say the same thing to every challenger?"

"What do you mean?" The black-robed guardian frowned slightly.

"My goal today is to clear level one hundred. I'm very curious what the guardian of level one hundred will say to me," Wu Yuan said with a smile.

"Arrogant! At ninety-nine years old, you’re only at level fifty, yet you dare speak of level hundred?" The black-robed guardian barked sternly.

In the next instant, a trace of terror flashed through the guardian's eyes.

Boom!

The three True Intents harmonized, and a powerful Dao fluctuation instantly descended, enveloping the sky.

It instantly tore the guardian apart, annihilating him completely.

How easy.

Wu Yuan revealed a slight smile.

Let’s see who can make me lift a finger today.

"Next level!"

...Level sixty!

...Level seventy!

Wu Yuan swept through all the guardians in his path, until level ninety.

The guardian of this level unleashed Dao comprehension at the fourth-level Dao Field stage of a Lesser Law. It was only then that Wu Yuan was forced to make his first move, though he merely formed a Hundred Swords Array and defeated his opponent effortlessly.

Six years ago, I could have already cleared level ninety, Now?

Wu Yuan was completely at ease.

Level ninety-one, level ninety-two, level ninety-three... The difficulty grew with each level.

Those who could clear these last ten levels were the most monstrous prodigies in the entire history of the Eternal Sun Immortal Nation. But still, none of the guardians could withstand even a single move from Wu Yuan!

As soon as the sword array formed, it swept through all obstacles!

Finally, Wu Yuan fought his way to level one hundred.

Here, the backdrop had transformed into a vast expanse of outer space, with no trace of solid ground in sight.

Is this level one hundred?

Wu Yuan's gaze swept across the dark space.

"Congratulations, young man." Silently, an elderly man in white robes appeared in the space, gazing at Wu Yuan with a twinkle in his eyes. "In the entire history of the Eternal Sun Immortal World, you are the second to arrive before me.

The Greenridge Macrocosm has once again given birth to a remarkable monstrous prodigy." The white-robed elderly man smiled as he looked at Wu Yuan.

“The second?” Wu Yuan said softly.

He had thought he was the first. After all, achieving this feat before the age of one hundred was immensely difficult.

"That's right, you're the second," the white-robed elderly man said with a chuckle. "However, the previous one was defeated by me."

"That's good," Wu Yuan finally revealed a faint smile. "I may be the second to arrive before you, but I will be the first to defeat you.

Defeating you will be my first step on the path to becoming a Supreme Genius."
