Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 976 - 370: Martial God Tower—[Transcendent Martial God]!

The next level up is shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"Judging by this appearance, it seems like you must ascend one level at a time."

Ji Yuan mumbled to himself, finally stepping forward to arrive at the base of the Martial God Tower.

As soon as he stepped under the eaves, he felt a heavy pressure weighing down on his heart.

The ground was hard, and the knife marks on its surface were mottled, full of historical traces... Looks like I’m not the first person to come to this Martial God Tower.

Ji Yuan slowly stepped up to the tall, closed stone door and placed his hand on it; the door... was very heavy.

Yet it could be pushed open and didn’t require much effort.

He estimated that as long as one had the strength of the Skin Tempering Realm, they could push open this stone door.

"No wonder the panel upgrade condition is to be at the Skin Tempering Realm; otherwise, even if one arrives at this Martial God Tower, they couldn’t open the door."

Ji Yuan pushed the door open just a crack and squeezed through.

As soon as he entered, he heard a "bang" from behind.

The door had closed.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

A series of ignition sounds arose, and torches flared up on the walls around the first floor of the Martial God Tower.

The firelight illuminated the entire floor.

But even without firelight, Ji Yuan could see clearly.

Looking around, it was a spacious stone chamber with a radius of about one mile, utterly empty, with no furnishings at all.

...It shouldn’t be. One of the conditions for upgrading to Level 2 Martial Arts Arena is to clear the first level of this Martial God Tower.

It indicates there must certainly be something unusual inside here.

Ji Yuan scanned with his senses and swiftly detected the anomaly: the stone chamber that was empty a second ago was now packed with a dense crowd of Armored Warriors!

Black Armor covering the body, Black Armor obscuring the face, right hand gripping a Black Saber, left hand holding a Black Shield.

They were truly armed to the teeth.

Glancing over, there was no end in sight.

Ji Yuan slightly sensed their presence and realized that each one was at the initial stage of the Skin Tempering Realm.

Ji Yuan was given a single breath’s time to react before these Black Iron Armored Warriors brandished their sabers and rushed at him.

Ji Yuan, his physique already at the mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm, feared not these Skin Tempering Realm novices.

He swung his right fist, his form slightly crouching, adopting a bow stance, then rushed forward with a might.

He thrust his right fist forward, his body like a cannonball, driving fist-first through the formation!

With one punch, he directly pierced through the dense crowd of Black Armored Warriors.

From one end, straight through to the other.

Ji Yuan stood up, turned around, and saw dozens of Black Armored Warriors dead from his single punch.

And these fallen warriors had no blood; they simply turned into wisps of Blood Qi that dispersed, forming a blood orb above the first floor of the Martial God Tower.

"What, must I kill all the warriors to receive this blood orb as a reward?"

Ji Yuan muttered inwardly and then looked down at the remaining Black Armored Warriors.

What’s there to say?

Killing them it is!

Subsequently, Ji Yuan experienced what it meant to crush across realms.

Having practiced the "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Sun" and with his physique cultivated to the mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm, these Skin Tempering guards were just like skin themselves.

Touch them, and they get hurt, one punch, and they’re dead.

Even if they raised their shields to defend, they could not escape fate withstanding one punch.

Those Black Saber wielding Black Armored Warriors couldn’t even scratch Ji Yuan; their attacks merely left a white mark that quickly vanished.

After around the duration of a joss stick, Ji Yuan toured every corner of the first floor of the Martial God Tower, finally eliminating all the Black Armored Warriors one by one.

Without even catching his breath, Ji Yuan looked upward, seeing the blood orb above had already formed into a human-head-sized blood sphere.

Just as he looked up, the blood orb dropped straight down, landing on him.

"Humph—"

Ji Yuan grunted, the blood orb entered his body, instantly spreading out as pure Blood Qi.

But in reality... it was just like that.

Once the Blood Qi fully dissipated, Ji Yuan found it was less than the Blood Qi he extracted from half a piece of Blazing Sun Bones.

But considering the first floor of the Martial God Tower is meant for Skin Tempering Realm Body Cultivators, it was understandable.

It’s only the second floor of the Martial God Tower where a Bone Forging Realm Body Cultivator like him belongs.

After refining this unnecessary Blood Qi, Ji Yuan surveyed his surroundings.

He searched for a portal leading to the second level.

But soon, he realized... things were far from over.

As around him, Blood Qi gathered and took shape, and new Armored Warriors appeared.

The previously appearing warriors wore Black Iron Armor.

But now, those appearing wore Bronze Armor, and each one emitted the Blood Qi fluctuation of the mid-stage Skin Tempering Realm.

Their strength had increased.

Yet their numbers were significantly fewer.

Ji Yuan glanced around with a rough measure, discovering the Bronze Armored Warriors numbered about half those initial Black Iron Warriors.

So... must continue killing?

Ji Yuan surveyed the area, then instantly moved to the nearest Bronze Armored Warrior.

Grabbing the white blade empty-handed!

Ji Yuan’s hands traced a large circle, quickly grabbing the Black Saber, followed by a swift turn.

The Bronze Long Saber rotated in his hands.

"Swoosh—"

All the surrounding Bronze Armored Warriors were severed in two, then dissolved into Blood Qi replenishing the blood orb above.
