Black Tower.
With the stars wheeling overhead, Jiang Ye blinked his eyes open once more and discovered himself standing in an immense palace hall.
Ethereal mists drifted lazily through the air.
"So this is the interior of the Black Tower?" Jiang Ye scanned his surroundings, noting that Zhao Zixuan, Zhao Zishuang, and the rest had disappeared.
The Black Tower's interior appeared staggeringly vast, scattering all the challengers apart.
"Challenger, welcome to the Black God Tower." A gravelly voice resounded: "These are the rewards for conquering the tower."
"Clearing the third layer of the Black Tower, reward 100,000 Barbaric Dragon Coins."
"Clearing the fifth layer of the Black Tower, reward 500,000 Barbaric Dragon Coins."
"Clearing the seventh layer of the Black Tower, reward 1,000,000 Barbaric Dragon Coins."
"Clearing the ninth layer of the Black Tower, reward 10,000,000 Barbaric Dragon Coins."
"Clearing the tenth layer of the Black Tower, reward 20,000,000 Barbaric Dragon Coins."
"Clearing the eleventh layer of the Black Tower, reward 30,000,000 Barbaric Dragon Coins."
"Rewards for later layers follow the same progression." The gravelly voice boomed across the hall.
Jiang Ye paid close attention.
He was already familiar with these rewards, so nothing caught him off guard.
The famed Barbaric Dragon Coins served as the standard currency across Barbaric Dragon Star.
Their value proved extraordinarily potent.
For instance, a million Barbaric Dragon Coins could secure a top-tier celestial cultivation method or a prime seventh-tier chance.
Exchanged on Blue Star, that sum outstripped what many Seventh Break experts scraped together over decades.
"Barbaric Dragon Coins are just a bonus."
"Each cleared layer grants unique opportunities." Jiang Ye pondered inwardly: "That's the Black Tower's true allure."
This very draw lured the geniuses from the twelve ancient thriving cities to test their mettle here.
"The trial for the first layer of the Black Tower commences shortly—get ready." The gravelly voice announced once more.
"No external aids allowed during the trial, save for weapons."
"Opportunities gained within the tower can't boost your power here." The gravelly voice reverberated.
In the instant that followed.
"Swish~" An unseen energy wrapped around Jiang Ye, causing items like the Blood God’s Finger and Celestial Cyan Divine Jade to drift out from his storage bracelet.
...
"Such enigmatic force." Jiang Ye marveled in silence: "It delves straight into my storage realm—utterly wondrous."
Most powerhouses' storage spaces bore a spiritual mark.
Jiang Ye's held one too.
But that power had bypassed his spiritual mark effortlessly, yanking out the treasures.
"Against absolute might, every hidden trick crumbles like dust." Jiang Ye grasped this truth even deeper.
As Jiang Ye quietly admired the phenomenon.
Boom!
A ferocious aura crashed into the hall, manifesting a black-armored warrior gripping a massive saber, radiating savage menace.
"Tower challenger, perish!" The black-armored warrior bellowed.
The words barely left his lips.
Whoosh! He blurred into a beam of light, hurtling at Jiang Ye, his saber flash brimming with lethal fury, thrusting dead-on.
"Peak Sixth Break?" Jiang Ye's telekinesis probed, unveiling the foe's actual cultivation.
Exhale!
A silver-black spear flashed into Jiang Ye’s grasp as he dissolved into shadow, counter-rushing the armored assailant.
"Buzz!" Thick mystery waves rippled out, the spearhead ripping space itself to smash headlong into the saber glow.
A resounding "bang" echoed as the spear rent the saber light apart, then barreled relentlessly at the black-armored warrior.
Boom!
Amid a deafening blast and erupting flames, the spear impaled the warrior's form, unleashing a flood of fire essence.
The fire essence detonated, shattering his body into scattered motes of light.
"Buzz~!" The motes swiftly gathered, forging a crimson elixir hovering in the air.
Silence blanketed the hall.
"Already done?" Jiang Ye stood astonished, the challenge far simpler than he'd imagined.
Though at Peak Sixth Break, the warrior's mystery barely scratched Seventh Break's threshold.
Against Jiang Ye, it stood no chance.
"First layer of the Black Tower cleared. Proceed to higher floors or exit now." The gravelly voice declared anew.
Jiang Ye held off replying. He stepped toward the black-armored warrior's 'demise' spot.
There floated the crimson pill, pulsing with strange energy.
"Looks like a life-tier boosting丹?" Jiang Ye murmured: "Sixth-tier at best—won't aid me greatly."
Having stowed the crimson pill.
"Continue!" Jiang Ye commanded.
The palace trembled violently, lifting Jiang Ye skyward.
...
Second Layer!
The guardian here was another Peak Sixth Break expert, tougher than the first yet swiftly crushed by Jiang Ye.
Third Layer!
Fourth Layer!
Jiang Ye rocketed through without respite, only meeting real resistance on the fifth layer.
"Exhale!"
A golden silhouette materialized, eyes blazing gold, aura crushing, terror radiating fiercely.
He brandished a spear too.
"Kill!" The golden guardian thundered, lunging at Jiang Ye with murderous zeal.
Boom!
In their clash, Jiang Ye's gaze sharpened: "His spear arts mirror mine exactly?"
With his keen insight, Jiang Ye instantly spotted the opponent's spear style as a flawless imitation of his own.
Not just that!
The fire essence wielded by the golden guardian peaked at the intensity Jiang Ye had unleashed in the prior layers.
"A mimic?"
"Fascinating." Jiang Ye grinned: "You copy my fire essence—can you duplicate my other mysteries too?"
