Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction Chapter 1208: Can Only Believe in Fate?



Liu Yan sensed his flesh and blood being sliced through effortlessly, with his sternum shattering in an instant.

Yet, the colorful feather displayed no hint of yielding to Liu Yan.

As the colorful feather fully pierced through Liu Yan's sternum and advanced toward his vital organs, Liu Yan came to a halt.

No matter his desire to conquer the colorful feather, Liu Yan found it impossible to compel it. Continuing this way risked his life, so he naturally had to stop. Liu Yan promptly attempted to withdraw, seeking distance from the colorful feather. But amid the intense spatial stagnation, his movements dragged at a glacial pace. Frowning lightly, Liu Yan attempted to activate the SSS-grade special equipment, Wings of Wind God, to boost his velocity, yet it proved utterly futile.

The SSS-grade Wings of Wind God had succumbed to the spatial stagnation as well, rendering rapid flapping impossible. Consequently, Liu Yan couldn't enhance his speed in the slightest.

Liu Yan drew upon the SS-grade Wind Secret Art to amass a vast quantity of wind attribute elemental power, hoping to propel himself away from the colorful feather, but it yielded no results. As the wind attribute elemental powers neared the colorful feather, they too became ensnared in spatial stagnation, their pace reduced to near nothingness.

Liu Yan was struck with immediate astonishment upon realizing that even elemental power fell under this stagnation's influence. The colorful feather's power was indeed extraordinary.

Liu Yan attempted to deploy the SS-grade skill Thunderstorm, only to find it equally ineffective.

The wind and lightning attribute elemental powers were unable to penetrate the spatial stagnation domain swiftly, preventing Liu Yan from executing Thunderstorm successfully or accelerating his escape.

What plunged Liu Yan into deepest despair was the observation that the spatial stagnation's impact intensified as he tried to retreat from the colorful feather.

Liu Yan had invested considerable time in nearing the colorful feather, roughly two hours.

This implied he would require several times longer to distance himself from it.

By then, Liu Yan would likely be gravely wounded or even deceased.

Luckily, this area belonged to the spotted white foals. With them already handled by Liu Yan, no immediate threats loomed.

In a different territory, swarms of ferocious beasts might have descended upon Liu Yan, potentially ending his life.

Liu Yan felt a profound sense of helplessness and could merely inch away from the colorful feather gradually.

A torrent of blood poured from his injury, yet it too was hampered by spatial stagnation. Once it escaped Liu Yan's body, it descended in slow droplets.

After a while, Liu Yan was drenched in his own blood.

The profuse blood from his chest failed to flow freely, instead pooling around Liu Yan and enveloping him in a crimson aura.

Thankfully, Liu Yan possessed terrifying physical resilience and robust Blood Qi.

Without that, the massive blood loss would have already claimed his life. Still, Liu Yan's predicament remained dire.

Liu Yan recognized that retreating from the colorful feather at this torturously slow rate could spell disaster.

He needed to escape the colorful feather without delay and then tend to his wounds! Regrettably, Liu Yan couldn't accelerate his departure.

He had experimented with every speed-enhancing skill at his disposal, all to no avail.

He had even tested offensive skills, hoping the recoil would push him back from the colorful feather, but nothing worked.

After all, with elemental powers unable to close in rapidly, Liu Yan's array of elemental abilities remained unusable.

Just as Liu Yan despaired with no options left, a spark ignited in his eyes.

The colorful feather appeared to embody spatial attributes, enveloping the vicinity in spatial stagnation that repelled all elemental powers. Therefore, attempting a spatial skill seemed logical.

With this realization, Liu Yan swiftly invoked the A-grade skill, Leap Technique.

A shimmer of light flashed, and Liu Yan's form vanished from his position, reappearing a mere half-step distant.

Typically, Leap Technique allowed teleportation up to a hundred meters. Liu Yan had aimed for maximum range, but what should have spanned a hundred steps managed only half a step.

Liu Yan understood this stemmed from the colorful feather's spatial stagnation effect.

The colorful feather had drastically diminished the Leap Technique's potency. Being merely an A-grade spatial skill, it suffered considerable suppression from the colorful feather.

Nevertheless, Liu Yan brimmed with joy.

Despite the heavy impairment, the Leap Technique had activated successfully.

Relative to other abilities, this Leap Technique stood out as remarkably effective.

He couldn't even muster an SSS-grade skill under these constraints, which offered zero assistance to Liu Yan.

In comparison, this A-grade Leap Technique proved invaluable to Liu Yan in these unique circumstances.

Though half a step was minimal, it held immense value against the potent spatial stagnation of the colorful feather.

Liu Yan would have needed at least an hour to cover that half-step via his own efforts amid the stagnation, yet the Leap Technique accomplished it instantaneously.

Liu Yan persisted in his gradual retreat from the colorful feather while awaiting the Leap Technique's cooldown.

As soon as the cooldown elapsed, Liu Yan activated the A-grade skill Leap Technique once more.

With a surge of enigmatic spatial energy, Liu Yan vanished from his location again and materialized half a step farther.

Liu Yan kept employing the Leap Technique repeatedly, biding time for each cooldown before recasting it.

After several applications, Liu Yan at last distanced himself from the colorful feather and exited the spatial stagnation zone.

Freed from the spatial stagnation's grip, Liu Yan immediately sensed a profound relief throughout his body.

In that instant, Liu Yan felt reborn.

He gasped for air heavily while hurriedly invoking the S-grade skill, Blessing of Water.

Abundant water attribute elemental powers swiftly gathered, mending the grievous injury on Liu Yan's chest.

Unhindered by spatial stagnation, Liu Yan effortlessly summoned and wielded copious water attribute elemental powers.

Following one cycle of healing, Liu Yan had regained over half his vitality.

Gazing at the distant colorful feather, Liu Yan experienced a shiver of residual terror.

Without the Leap Technique, Liu Yan might have faced catastrophe.

Moreover, the SS-grade skill Qilin Revival remained on cooldown, unavailable for use. Liu Yan couldn't risk errors. A single misstep would have meant certain death. Though most wounds had mended, Liu Yan continued his labored breathing, haunted by the fear.

Since stepping into the Tower, Liu Yan had steadily advanced and grown mightier. As his power escalated, instances posing true mortal peril had become scarce. His current prowess assured him that, win or lose against foes, escape was always feasible.

Yet this encounter brought a authentic brush with death for Liu Yan.

He had nearly perished right there, marking a legitimate life-threatening ordeal.

Concurrently, Liu Yan harbored feelings of frustration and bewilderment.

Previously, the white foal's prowess and aptitude paled far below his own. How had it succeeded in taming the colorful feather? Even if merely the preliminary refinement, it achieved what he could not.

Liu Yan had employed the identical approach. Surpassing the white foal in both strength and talent by miles, yet he failed utterly to refine the colorful feather, not even preliminarily.

Liu Yan pondered in confusion, "In which aspect did I fall short compared to that white foal? Why does the colorful feather reject me outright? Is it purely a matter of fortune?"

Liu Yan felt a pang of regret. He wavered, contemplating whether he would forfeit this enigmatic and formidable colorful feather.

Unwillingness gnawed at him, yet helplessness prevailed.

For all his overwhelming might, the colorful feather remained beyond Liu Yan's control. Its uniqueness defied his every tactic.

Liu Yan attempted once more to probe the colorful feather's details. However, as his awareness neared, he still detected nothing of it.

Unable to perceive it, checking its information proved impossible. It lingered in a total "unselectable" state!

Liu Yan sifted through his entire skill repertoire, finding none applicable.

Be it elemental manipulations or physical advances, nothing could impact the colorful feather.

He mused, "Does subduing the colorful feather hinge solely on destiny and chance?"

Refusing to accept this, Liu Yan clung to his faith in raw power over whims of fate, luck, or providence!

In that very moment, a sudden idea struck Liu Yan, causing his eyes to brighten.
