Jiang Ye defeated gatekeepers through the early layers of the Black Tower, securing peak seventh-tier enlightenment treasures and reaching the 9th Layer, where he overcame ten formidable opponents including one at Quasi-Eight Break. His enhanced Mysteries of Earth and Fire propelled him into the top ten rankings, astonishing Black Obsidian City's elders who speculated on his grasp of three Basic Mysteries. On the grueling 10th Layer, he unleashed the Luoshen Spear Technique's Silent Extinction against ten extraordinarily talented gatekeepers, turning the tide decisively. Defying expectations, Jiang Ye rapidly passed the 11th, 12th, and 13th Layers.

Having conquered the tenth floor, Jiang Ye's unstoppable drive propelled him through level after level.

He surged straight to the thirteenth floor in a single push.

Here, the challenge escalated dramatically, forcing Jiang Ye to unleash additional hidden aces. Following an intense struggle lasting several minutes, he at last vanquished the floor's guardian.

"The thirteenth floor."

"I'm nearing my maximum output already," Jiang Ye reflected inwardly with a sigh.

During the initial ten floors, Jiang Ye deliberately held back his true capabilities.

Yet beyond the tenth, the obstacles surged wildly, culminating in a thirteenth-floor guardian at Seventh Break peak.

This demanded that Jiang Ye possess power surpassing a whole Great Realm to advance.

The challenge was utterly insane!

Without the 'Five Elements Fire,' that mighty tool amplifying enigmatic forces immensely, clearing this stage would have proven nearly impossible.

"Thankfully, the prizes here are quite bountiful." With a turn of his palm, Jiang Ye summoned a gleaming golden pill.

The pill whirled swiftly, radiating an immense, limitless presence.

An peak eighth-tier enlightenment treasure!

It stood as the most advanced enlightenment treasure Jiang Ye had encountered yet.

"Only one exists, though."

"Still, its worth surpasses ten standard eighth-tier enlightenment treasures," Jiang Ye mused to himself. "In Black Obsidian City, such an item remains exceedingly scarce."

He carefully stored the prize.

Jiang Ye gazed upward.

"Even the thirteenth floor demands so much."

"Does the fourteenth ahead hold a quasi-Eight Break expert? Perhaps a full Eight Breaks?" Jiang Ye contemplated quietly. "It's no surprise the fourteenth acts as a mighty threshold; typically, just prodigies of rare genius make it past."

Push onward or halt?

In the Black Tower, each ascending floor multiplies the peril exponentially, carrying genuine danger of defeat.

Within a mere second, Jiang Ye resolved his decision.

"Press on!"

Having arrived this far, stopping now was out of the question for him.

Though the thirteenth floor compelled him to near-total exertion, for Jiang Ye, that 'full power' marked merely his initial earnest effort.

His deepest concealed trump cards remained untouched.

"Whoosh!" Jiang Ye morphed into a beam of radiant light, hurtling toward the fourteenth floor.

Instantly thereafter.

Jiang Ye materialized within the fourteenth floor's chamber.

Silence enveloped the area.

"Where's this level's guardian?" Jiang Ye scanned his surroundings, fully alert.

Right then.

"Wow~" The void quivered as a purple-gold silhouette materialized, gripping a long spear and exuding a fearsome aura.

"What in the world?"

"Zi Yaozhi?" Shock flickered across Jiang Ye's face.

The emerging form was none other than Zi Yaozhi, hailed as Barbaric Dragon Star's top prodigy!

"Does the fourteenth floor pit challengers against fellow climbers?"

"No, impossible."

"Zi Yaozhi's a Seventh Break master, yet this version before me sits at Sixth Break peak?" Myriad ideas raced through Jiang Ye's thoughts. "Moreover, Zi Yaozhi hit the fourteenth half an hour prior; the trial wouldn't just start now."

Rankings refresh live.

"A duplicate of Zi Yaozhi, perhaps?"

Jiang Ye eyed the purple-gold form before him, mind swirling with notions.

Yet all those notions coalesced into one firm conviction.

"Whoever you might be, defeat is your fate." Serenity settled in Jiang Ye's gaze.

Abruptly.

Both he and 'Zi Yaozhi' lunged at once.

Swoosh! Jiang Ye flashed into a streak of light, piercing the void like a launched arrow, spear intent exploding skyward as he barreled at Zi Yaozhi.

Zi Yaozhi likewise became a beam of light, brandishing her purple spear, her domineering purple spear intent swallowing Jiang Ye whole.

"Boom!"

A cataclysmic clash rang out as their spears met.

The mighty spear intent realms smashed together!

Rumble~ Space fractured, domains warring savagely amid cascading blasts, locked in perfect parity.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

"Clang!" Spears hammered repeatedly, clashing across technique, spear intent, and divine rhythm.

"Divine rhythm?"

"This Zi Yaozhi grasps Spear Technique Divine Rhythm too—specifically one bearing division attributes." Jiang Ye kept his composure.

For a talent like Zi Yaozhi, lacking a battle art divine rhythm would defy expectation.

The real shock for Jiang Ye lay in.

Her 'division divine rhythm' that sundered all, splintering even the void in successive layers.

"The division divine rhythm shatters every technique." With vast insight, Jiang Ye grasped its essence.

Zi Yaozhi proved extraordinarily formidable.

With divine spear skills, divine spear intent, bolstered by 'division divine rhythm,' no peer could endure one strike.

"Fatian Xiangdi."

A spark ignited in Jiang Ye's eyes as he promptly deployed a prime hidden ace.

Rumble~ Sky and earth shook, infinite heavenly mysteries roiled and amassed furiously.

Instantly, a colossal Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect over ten thousand meters erupted skyward, awe-inspiring and infinite, pulsing with ultimate grandeur.

"Kill!" Jiang Ye bellowed fiercely.

As Fatian Xiangdi took shape, his stature ballooned while battle prowess skyrocketed.

Swoosh! Clutching his spear firm, Jiang Ye thrust forth powerfully.

"Wow~" Endless spear intent fused into a kilometer-spanning beam, rending heaven and earth, slamming toward Zi Yaozhi.

The beam stretched thousands of meters through the void, its might utterly horrifying.

This display prompted 'Zi Yaozhi' to grow solemn.

"What?"

"A ten-thousand-meter Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect?"

"Impossible!" The thirty-six elders of Black Obsidian City gaped in stunned disbelief at the sight.

Zhao Tiangang himself betrayed utter shock.
