Chapter 481 - 476: Tower of Fortune Second Floor
When a few people appeared early on, Lin You sensed something unusual.
The reason was that these guys were acting too ostentatiously. It was definitely the most foolish behavior in this perilous layer of space.
But what finally convinced him that these four were together was the behavior of the female Lord.
She was too clean.
Clean to the point that her clothes were almost spotless, completely unlike someone who was on the run and fleeing for their life.
Moreover, if observed carefully, her breathing was exceptionally steady.
Even though her appearance couldn’t be clearly seen, it was still apparent from her aura.
As for those three guys loudly announcing their identities, it was obviously an attempt to lure prey while summoning companions from the Supreme Profound Realm.
Have to say.
These guys were very clever.
They came up with this way to gather companions right from the start.
Unfortunately, they encountered Lin You.
Lin You had no sentimental thoughts at all; even if he guessed wrong, he would kill them and not worry about anything.
The remaining three obviously didn’t expect Lin You to see through their trick so easily, and suddenly became alert.
"Who goes there!"
One of them shouted in a deep voice.
The series of attacks just now was definitely not a method an ordinary Tier Nine Lord could possess, making them vaguely uneasy.
Originally, they wanted to use this pretense of being chased to bait those idiotic heroes who rescue damsels in distress.
Yet they didn’t expect to lose a teammate pointlessly.
"It’s not important who I am; you just need to know that anyone from the Supreme Profound Realm that I encounter will die."
Lin You’s extremely indifferent voice slowly resonated.
"Encounter one, kill one? How arrogant!"
"Kid, who do you think you are? You dare oppose the Supreme Profound Realm!"
"Stop talking nonsense with him, let’s attack together and kill him!"
In a furious shout, the three of them didn’t waste any more words and charged at Lin You with weapons raised, encircling from three directions.
"Ha!"
The big man holding the Wolf Fang Club blasted off with a boom, turning into a shell as he leaped in front of Lin You, swinging the Wolf Fang Club to stir up a terrifying gale.
The other two followed closely, raising their blades, emitting a large cold light, straight at Lin You’s head.
Boom!
A loud explosion.
The tree trunk they were standing on was instantly shattered to pieces.
Standing on the trunk, Lin You was directly struck by the Wolf Fang Club, with a "bang" sound, flying back like a rag, spitting blood from his mouth.
Success!
The trio was overjoyed.
They thought Lin You would be formidable and hard to deal with, but they never expected him to be so vulnerable, easily crushed by a combined strike.
Their previous worries were for nothing.
"Watch out!"
Unexpectedly, the man wielding the long knife suddenly shouted, looking behind the big man.
Lin You, who had been blown away, appeared there at some unknown time, without any signs of injury.
The arm raised, and the Ice Soul Great Saber slashed out fiercely.
"Clang!"
The big man reacted in time, blocking the attack with his Wolf Fang Club, flipping over and landing on the ground.
However, as soon as his feet touched the ground, an invisible ripple spread rapidly around him.
The once dense jungle edge instantly turned into a thorn garden, filled with blooming blue roses.
Illusion!
Shocked, the big man immediately got up and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
He realized his two companions had vanished, leaving him alone in the garden, losing all sense of direction, with no sound except the moving thorns.
"Petty trick, break!"
In a mighty shout, he unleashed all his power, slamming the Wolf Fang Club into the ground.
However, the Deep Blue Illusion Realm, enhanced by four Divine Fragments, couldn’t be easily shattered.
As soon as the Wolf Fang Club rose, all the blue thorns suddenly surged forward, entangling his body and weapon, lifting him into the air.
The spikes on the thorns sank deeply into his body, oozing blood.
"Get off!"
The big man struggled fiercely, breaking the thorns and landing on the ground again.
At the same time, his chest armor gleamed with light, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
The once fierce blue thorns quickly dissipated under the light, restoring the forest to its original state in no time.
"Spiritual Resistance Equipment?"
On the tree trunk, Lin You looked at the chest armor on the big man with surprise.
The Deep Blue Illusion Skill, powered by the Power of Rule, was enhanced by 40% compared to species.
Only those with sufficiently strong spirits or who wore spiritual resistance equipment could break free from the illusion so quickly.
Obviously.
The opponent was the latter.
After all, getting spiritual resistance equipment wasn’t difficult for a Tier Nine Lord.
Lin You just didn’t expect someone to forgo physical defense attributes for this niche resistance equipment.
And the big man who broke free from the illusion finally saw the surrounding scene clearly.
But was shocked to find his two companions were already bleeding from all seven orifices, hanging upside down by vines on the trees.
Then, with a flash, they were forcibly teleported out of the tower.
In just one encounter, two Tier Nine Lords were instantly killed!?
The big man’s pupils contracted to the extreme, his heart filled with turmoil.
What kind of monster had they provoked this time, with such terrifying power!
Not daring to think too much, he turned around and fled, carrying the Wolf Fang Club, escaping into the depths of the jungle, moving several times faster than when he came.
"I said, none of you should think about escaping."
Lin You’s icy voice echoed, sending a shiver down the man’s spine.
Turning back, he saw the entire forest canopy suddenly rise with countless Leaves, sweeping towards him like a surging tide.
The terrifying scene instantly turned his face ashen.
He didn’t even have time to resist as he was engulfed by the Leaves, and with a heartrending scream, he was forcibly transported away.
Since then.
The four from the Supreme Mysterious Realm were completely annihilated.
The number of Lin You’s kills instantly increased to 11, just 9 away from ascending to the second level of the Tower of Fortune.
"Not bad."
Lin You smiled slightly, very satisfied with the power of his Skills under the influence of four Divine Fragments.
At least dealing with these Ordinary Tier Nine Lords was exceedingly easy.
Especially in the forest terrain, Plant Type Skills were bizarre and unpredictable, hard to defend against, and killing a squad was not a problem at all.
Seeing the enemy completely resolved, he didn’t linger long, continuing towards the forest’s interior, disappearing quickly among the intertwined trunks.
However, he didn’t notice.
From behind a distant large tree, several pairs of eyes had witnessed the entire battle process just moments before.
"Did you all just... see that?"
One person swallowed, eyes full of shock.
They were all attracted by the commotion caused by the few from the Supreme Mysterious Realm.
They originally intended to see if they could scavenge, accumulate some kills.
Unexpectedly, they happened to witness the process of Lin You battling with the few from the Supreme Mysterious Realm.
No!
It couldn’t even be called a battle.
It was a massacre.
An absolute massacre!
Not even on the same level.
"If I’m not mistaken, that just now... should be the Power of Rule, right?" Another person said dumbfoundedly.
"It shouldn’t be wrong, only the Power of Rule can control so many attack methods at once."
"So, that person has already completed the Saint’s Path and successfully condensed Divine Fragments!?"
The few beside him were shocked upon hearing this, each one’s eyes widened.
"Didn’t expect to encounter such a figure here, those attacks earlier, probably even the few freaks in the Ten Great Realms can’t compare, right?"
"More than that! I feel stronger than those freaks by more than just one level!"
"I have the same feeling, lucky we didn’t just rush up earlier."
"Forget it, let’s leave here first, if we run into such a monster, it will be disastrous."
A few Lords whispered among themselves, faces full of fear.
Originally they were from different Realms, and typically meeting would at least trigger a great battle.
But Lin You’s emergence stole their intent to fight, only wanting to leave this troubled place early.
Some were more decisive, directly leaving the forest area, heading towards the opposite direction into the desert.
Originally there were more than ten Lords gathered, but soon they all fled with no trace left, causing the forest’s perimeter to quiet down again.
...
On the other side.
Outside the Tower of Fortune.
After an hour of battle, many have already been eliminated, all gathered around the Tower of Fortune.
"Look quickly! Someone else has ascended to the second layer!"
At this moment, a voice screamed out, drawing everyone’s gaze toward the tower.
"Seems to be someone from the Holy Light Realm, really fast speed."
"Someone from the Void Realm has also ascended to the second layer!"
"The Eternal Realm too!"
"Indeed, worthy of the Ten Great Realms, so quickly someone has ascended to the second layer."
The Lords discussed continuously, watching the number passing through each layer recorded on the Tower of Fortune.
Each time they saw someone advance, a wave of exclamations followed promptly.
Especially seeing someone from their Realm advance, those Lords cheered joyously.
By comparison.
The atmosphere for the Primordial Realm team in a certain corner wasn’t as good.
Those eliminated Lords gathered together, nervously watching the information on the tower.
"What’s going on? It’s been so long, and why hasn’t anyone under Tier Ten from our Realm ascended to the second layer?" A middle-aged man anxiously said.
In all the second layer clearance information, only Tier Ten, Tier Eleven, and Great Emperor from the Primordial Realm were listed.
No one below Tier Ten had managed to pass the first layer test till now.
"Calm down." An elder beside him consoled, "Now the people from the Ten Great Realms have just started passing through, after a while, there should be more people."
"Indeed, our Primordial Realm is no match for the Ten Great Realms, just hoping not to lag too far behind will suffice." Another Lord promptly followed up.
"Can I not be anxious? This concerns the distribution of fortune for our Realm!" The middle-aged man turned to the two, face full of frustration.
"Had I known, I would’ve been more careful earlier, or else wouldn’t have been eliminated so soon."
The distribution of fortune from the Chaos Supreme Treasure is calculated based on each Realm’s clearance layers.
The higher the clearance layers, the more people on high layers, naturally the more fortune distributed.
Moreover, within the tower, there is no real death, so many Lords are desperate to kill enemies, aiming to ascend higher layers, contributing to their Realm.
Being eliminated on the first layer, it can be said to have almost no contribution, only waiting for tomorrow’s challenge attempts to reset can provide another chance to enter the tower for more challenges, anxious naturally.
"Look quickly! Someone from our Realm’s Tier Nine has ascended to the second layer!"
Suddenly, a shout interrupted their conversation.
The waiting Primordial Realm Lords were instantly struck with surprise, immediately looking at the second layer’s information, indeed in the Tier Nine section appeared the name of the Primordial Realm.
And after it represented the clearance quantity of 1.
