Su Bai calmly gazed at the gate of light, ignoring the shouts of the Kunlun Holy Son. Ignoring the undercurrents of killing intent, he stepped forward as if strolling through his own backyard. His figure was quickly swallowed by the light behind the gate and vanished from the hall.

Qin Feng and the Dragon Shield team members didn't hesitate at all. They followed closely behind, stepping firmly into the portal, with the Tranquility Stone behind them, the one that had given them clarity. They knew that Su Bai was their greatest protection.

The enchantress's beautiful eyes darted between the Kunlun Holy Son and the Gate of Light. She watched Su Bai's effortlessly crushing figure, then glanced at the Kunlun Holy Son's almost distorted face, and finally made her choice. She nodded to the young demon lords behind her, and the demon army quickly followed.

Kunlun Saint Son gritted his teeth, anger surging within him. He sensed the murderous intent emanating from the several prodigies around him and knew he had to seize this opportunity.

He suppressed his resentment, gave a wink to the other awakened prodigies, and strode into the portal. Behind him, the prodigies with ulterior motives followed, all with the same goal: to eliminate Su Bai, their biggest obstacle, in the final trial.

After everyone passed through the portal, the mist behind the main hall churned again and quickly closed, as if it had never been opened.

Before me stretched an unprecedentedly vast space. This was no longer an illusion, but the real heavens.

Beneath their feet lay a vast plaza floating in the void. Surrounding the plaza was an endless sea of ​​stars, adorned with glittering constellations, as if they were in the depths of the universe. Above them, a towering pagoda pierced the clouds, its destination unknown.

The tower, cast entirely in bronze, is ancient and weathered, its surface covered with unrecognizable runes, exuding a primordial and profound aura. Nine layers of light curtains float around the tower, each layer pulsating with different energy fluctuations, hinting at the danger hidden within.

"The Tower of Babel..." someone uttered the name in a dry voice.

An ancient and majestic voice resounded once again in everyone's minds, like a great bell, shaking their souls.

"Few hundred people passed the three tests."

A chill ran through everyone. They counted and found there were indeed only seventy-odd people. This meant that nearly half of them were forever trapped in the illusion of their inner demons.

"This is the final trial ground, the Tower of Babel."

"The tower has nine stories, each one leading upwards, with destiny resting at the top."

"Each floor has a guardian; you must defeat them to proceed to the next floor."

"Within the tower, the laws governing the space are independent, allowing for mutual attacks and the theft of tokens."

"The token is unique."

The voice echoed at the top of the tower, each word like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts. Especially the last sentence, "The token is unique," made everyone's breath quicken, and their eyes blazed with fury.

The only one? This means that the ultimate "destiny" can only be obtained by one person.

"Can they... attack each other inside the tower?" Kunlun Holy Son muttered to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He turned to the group of prodigies beside him, lowered his voice, and made no attempt to hide the murderous intent in his eyes: "Gentlemen, this is exactly the opportunity we've been waiting for."

"Su Bai is powerful, but even the strongest can't fight against overwhelming odds. Inside the tower, where the rules allow, we can join forces to eliminate this variable!"

The sword cultivators of Mount Hua, the Taoist priests of Mount Tai, and several other prodigies from top sects all nodded in agreement. The power Su Bai had previously displayed filled them with both awe and envy. But now, tempted by "destiny" and "uniqueness," their greed overcame their fear.

They believed that no matter how strong Su Bai was, he would only face certain death when facing the combined forces of dozens of top young experts.

The enchantress watched this scene from afar, neither participating nor stopping it. Her beautiful eyes merely flickered, as if she were plotting something. She understood that Su Bai wouldn't be easily surrounded, but he would certainly become a thorn in everyone's side.

Qin Feng and the members of the Dragon Shield team, sensing the malicious gazes around them, immediately shielded Su Bai in the center. Although they also felt a sense of pressure, they had an almost blind trust in Su Bai.

Su Bai paid no attention to the petty schemes around him. His gaze was fixed on the entrance to the Tower of Babel, specifically the first floor.

The door to the first floor slowly opened at that moment.

A burst of scorching heat erupted from the doorway, as hot as molten lava, causing the temperature of the entire plaza to rise sharply.

A figure composed entirely of crimson flames, wielding a massive flaming battle blade, slowly emerged from the doorway. It stood three zhang tall, radiating terrifying auras of a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Fire Giant!

Its appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"The first level's guardian is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"Hmph, as expected, it's easy at first, then difficult. This first level is just an appetizer." Kunlun Saint snorted coldly, glancing in Su Bai's direction, a hint of provocation flashing in his eyes.

"Su Bai, do you dare to compete with us and see who can break through this barrier first?"

Su Bai turned around, his gaze sweeping over the group of Kunlun Saint Sons as if they were a bunch of clowns. He then looked away and spoke calmly to Qin Feng and the others.

"You remain where you are."

Having said that, he ignored everyone else and strode straight toward the giant fire spirit.

His steps were slow, yet carried an indescribable heaviness. Each step he took caused the empty plaza to tremble slightly.

The Kunlun Saint Sons exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. What did Su Bai mean by this? Did he intend to charge forward alone to his death?

The fire giant sensed Su Bai's presence. Its head, made of flames, suddenly turned towards Su Bai, letting out a deafening roar.

It raised its flaming battle blade high, the blade brimming with terrifying fire elemental power capable of incinerating mountains and boiling seas, and slashed fiercely down towards Su Bai!

This is the first level of the test!

However, Su Bai did not dodge, cast a spell, or even throw a punch.

He simply took a step forward.

step!

The flaming battle blade, carrying the might of burning the heavens, came to an abrupt halt less than a foot above his head.

Then, a barely perceptible ripple suddenly spread out from Su Bai's center.

boom!

The massive body of the Flame Giant was instantly crushed as if gripped by an invisible hand the moment it came into contact with the ripple!

Sparks flew everywhere. The guardian, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, didn't even have time to utter a scream before he completely dissipated in the void, turning into the purest fire element and merging into the sea of ​​stars.

The entire square fell silent once more.

The mockery and scheming on the faces of Kunlun Saint Son and his companions froze instantly. They stared at the empty tower gate and Su Bai's still calm and composed back.

A thought, like an icicle, pierced deep into everyone's mind.

One finger?

No, he didn't even use a single finger.

It's just one step.

In the blink of an eye, the guardian at the peak of the Dao Foundation stage was reduced to ashes!

Qin Feng and the Dragon Shield team watched this scene with no surprise in their eyes, only a sense of entitlement. This was their master.

"First level, passed."

Su Bai's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. He didn't turn around and walked straight towards the second-floor gate of the Tower of Babel.

The door to the second floor slowly opened to everyone's stunned gaze.

A cold, chilling aura, carrying a sinister killing intent, emanated from inside the door.

Kunlun Saint felt his throat was incredibly dry. As he watched Su Bai's back as he was about to step into the second level, all his calculations, arrogance, and resentment were crushed to dust by this incomprehensible and terrifying power at that moment.

He subconsciously took a half step back, and the several prodigies behind him turned pale and retreated even faster than him.

The enchantress's beautiful eyes sparkled, her red lips parted slightly, and in the end she only let out a soft sigh.

"How are we supposed to play like this?"

She knew that some gaps could not be bridged by numbers alone.

As she watched Su Bai's figure disappear into the second-floor entrance, a bold idea suddenly popped into her head.

Perhaps, only by following behind such people can one see the true scenery.

The second door was wide open.

A giant spirit, also three zhang tall and entirely forged from ice, slowly emerged from the doorway, wielding a massive ice blade.

Its body is surrounded by extreme cold, capable of instantly freezing the moisture in the air into ice shards.

Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Frost Giant!

Su Bai stopped at the entrance to the second floor.

He turned around and glanced at the group of geniuses who were still in shock and each harbored their own secrets.

"Are you following us?"

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable scrutiny.

"Or are we just going to stay here and wait to die?"
