I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

It was like constantly planning the circuit route, and then suddenly all the channels were opened. Luo Yuan's divine power genes also began to undergo the most fundamental transformation. This feeling made Luo Yuan happy. It meant that the gene recombination was successful. Luo Yuan also immediately temporarily improved the analysis of the divine power genes. Even if it failed, Luo Yuan would not collapse like before. Instead, he would directly use the most precise control to restore the recombined gene sequence.

This also reduces the consumption of divine power. At this time, Luo Yuan carefully observed the changes in the internal genetic structure of his clone divine body, as well as the enhancement of divine body power during genetic recombination. If the recombined genetic structure is very stable and does not collapse like before, it means that Luo Yuan has succeeded. However, this only means that Luo Yuan has successfully completed the recombination of the new genetic structure, but it does not mean that he will definitely achieve a breakthrough at the genetic level. It may even be a regression.

After waiting for a while, Luo Yuan discovered that the gene recombination had not collapsed, meaning it had truly stabilized. Luo Yuan had successfully completed the experiment. Then, Luo Yuan sensed the changes in his divine power gene level and found that his original divine power had undergone a new transformation. This was a power with a stronger reserve and purity than his previous divine power, and it also carried a powerful offensive force. Luo Yuan felt that he could control the changes at will.

Luo Yuan compared his transformed divine power with his previous divine power and was astonished to find that his divine power gene level had increased by 20,000 times, while his original perfect-level gene level was only a little over 10,000. In other words, this gene recombination directly doubled Luo Yuan's divine power gene level. Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed. This gene level had indeed broken through the perfect gene level. However, Luo Yuan would not be satisfied with this. He wanted to continue analyzing and recombinizing.

Luo Yuan's goal was to reach the ultimate genetic level of 100,000 times. He had been waiting for this day for tens of millions of epochs. Previously, the genetic sequences he had collected were mostly at the level of universe lords. After all, the peak powerhouses in the universe sea were mainly universe lords. As for true gods, not only were they rare, but they would not allow Luo Yuan to collect their components. However, after Luo Yuan came to the Jin world and collected the genetic sequences of many true god powerhouses, he succeeded.

Moreover, Luo Yuan achieved this in less than a hundred years within a space with ten thousand times the time acceleration. How could this not excite and delight Luo Yuan? Then, Luo Yuan continued to control his strongest clone to continue the analysis and recombination of genes. However, when Luo Yuan's divine power gene level increased to twenty thousand times, he found that it was becoming increasingly difficult to continue to improve. Therefore, there was a constant process of disintegration and re-condensation. Even when Luo Yuan restored his divine body at critical moments, it consumed a lot of energy.

However, Luo Yuan discovered that his current divine body was indeed much stronger than before, especially his aura, which was even more powerful. At this time, Luo Yuan's main body also increased its genetic level by 20,000 times. Luo Yuan simply raised the genetic level of all his clones to 20,000 times with a thought, so that he could feel at ease. After all, it was not easy to raise his genetic level to such a level. Luo Yuan used his strongest clone, which he used to try to recombine divine power genes, to replenish the divine power he consumed.

With the boundless divine power in the Endless Nether Sea as a reserve, Luo Yuan's clone naturally had no worries about the depletion of divine power. Even if a lot of divine power was consumed, it was quickly replenished to its peak after absorbing divine power from the Endless Nether Sea. Luo Yuan also felt that his divine body had become much stronger, especially since his divine kingdom continued to expand. Luo Yuan could feel that if he wanted to advance to the level of a true god now and transform his divine kingdom into a small universe, it would only take a moment.

Luo Yuan's goal is to reach the limit of 100,000 times the divine power gene level. If he were to break through to the True God level now, his strength would not have increased to the level he wanted. Even the divine power route wouldn't break through at only 20,000 times. The divine power route has a first tier between the perfect-level gene level and 30,000 times. If Luo Yuan could improve to 30,000 times, his advanced divine body could increase by more than ten times. However, he still has to wait until he reaches 30,000 times.

However, Luo Yuan was also full of confidence in the upcoming improvement of his divine power gene level, because he had only collected some organizations of true god-level powerhouses in Jiuyanze, and after analyzing and recombining the gene level, he directly reached 20,000 times, more than doubling his gene level and divine body power. What a huge improvement this was! All of this Luo Yuan did only happened in a few days, and was completed under the 10,000 times time acceleration in the Duan Donghe inheritance space.

At this moment, Luo Yuan's strongest clone left in the Jin world was piloting the Tomb Ship towards the Valley of the Gods. He calculated that it would take about a month to reach it, and soon a month had passed. Luo Yuan finally arrived at the Valley of the Gods. Although it is called a valley, its area is actually larger than the area of ​​a star. Moreover, the Valley of the Gods is just a place on an incredibly vast continent. However, because it is the place where the God King resides, its natural environment is the best.

Luo Yuan also stopped cultivating. His main focus was now on the upcoming Ascension-level mission. His strongest clone contained many precious treasures, so Luo Yuan could not abandon them and naturally had to deal with them seriously. As the Tomb Ship got closer and closer to the vast and boundless continent, the entire continent came into view. This continent was named the God King Realm because it contained the Valley of the God King. The structure of the entire Jin World was also simple.

Because the God-King Legion consists of four legions in the east, west, south, and north, the Jin World has four vast continents, each controlled by one of these four legions. On each continent, besides the legion's power, there are countless tribes and beast forces. Beyond the four continents lies an endless ocean, which contains many islands. However, each island is larger than a True God's small universe, and the God-King Realm is actually one of these islands.

However, since the God King once lived in the God King Valley in the God King Realm, the beings in the Jin World regard the God King Valley as a sacred place, with a status equal to that of the other four continents. No force dares to be presumptuous. Luo Yuan stood high in the sky and looked down at the God King Realm below. He saw undulating mountains, beautiful lakes, flowers, trees and plants. The environment here was very beautiful. In particular, the composition of any natural landscape in the God King Realm was very unique, like mysterious patterns.

With Luo Yuan's understanding of the secret runes, it would be difficult to discover these unique features if he were in the God King Realm. However, when Luo Yuan looked down from the high sky of the God King Realm, the God King Realm resembled a large secret rune diagram. The direction of the mountains resembled the law patterns in the secret runes, and the lakes were located at the connection points of the law patterns, just like a mysterious and complex circuit diagram. However, the level of these secret runes was obviously very high, even higher than the secret runes of the Star Tower.

Therefore, Luo Yuan's attempts to comprehend these secret runes all failed. He was still far from mastering them. Luo Yuan also didn't know that any other powerful figures had noticed the uniqueness of this place. However, this God King Realm was the residence of God Kings, a place of high status. Normally, no living being dared to enter without permission, so there were no living creatures here. But this time, with the opening of the Ascension-level mission, only warriors who had applied for the Ascension-level mission could come here, or they would perish.

In Luo Yuan's view, since this continent was chosen as a residence by the God King, it must have been meticulously arranged. It was even possible that the God King himself had crafted this continent, so it was not surprising that he regarded it as a supreme treasure. Furthermore, the Wuqi Tower within it served as a mission site, demonstrating its extraordinary nature. Therefore, Luo Yuan was not surprised by the layout of the God King's Realm. He could simply regard it as something similar to the Star Tower, and perhaps even some of the God King's legacy remained.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel excited. He continued to fly above the God King Realm in his Tomb Ship, trying to explore some of its secrets. Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the God King Realm and arrived in front of Luo Yuan at an extremely fast speed. The figure then coldly shouted at Luo Yuan, "Who are you? This is the God King Realm, the residence of His Majesty the God King. It is a forbidden area. If you dare to trespass, don't blame me for annihilating you."

The sound was like thunder and a question from the heavens. Then a beam of light appeared, immediately enveloping Luo Yuan and rendering the Tomb Ship immobile. This was the power of the void, meaning that the suddenly appearing expert was a Void True God. Luo Yuan was somewhat surprised. A Void True God guarding the gate was indeed formidable.

Chapter 515 Valley of the Gods

Faced with the rebuke of this Void God, Luo Yuan quickly came out of the Tomb Ship and respectfully said to him, "Don't make a move yet. I am a soldier of the Python River Legion of the Eastern Army. My name is Hunyuan. I have come to this God King Realm to carry out a titled mission. You can check. I did not trespass here."

Upon hearing this, the Void God looked at Luo Yuan, and then, through some unknown means, confirmed Luo Yuan's identity. Soon after, the void power that had enveloped Luo Yuan and the Tomb Ship dissipated, and Luo Yuan felt he could move again. The Void God's expression returned to normal. He said to Luo Yuan, "Alright, come with me." Luo Yuan immediately put away the Tomb Ship and obediently followed the Void God. Now that Luo Yuan possessed the Golden Claw God, a high-level mechanical treasure, although his combat power reached that of a low-level Void God, he still needed to be cautious in the face of a true Void God.

Luo Yuan knew very well that in this world of Jin, everything was based on strength. Offending a Void God would be unwise. As Luo Yuan flew with this unfamiliar Void God, he secretly observed him. This Void God was also humanoid, indicating that he was a warrior of a tribe. After all, the tribal warriors of the world of Jin were all humanoid, but only similar to humans. They were still very different from Earthlings because there were too many tribes.

Therefore, Luo Yuan did not arouse their suspicion. This Void God's skin was dark gold and had a great texture. He also had six ears and looked like an ape, but his eyes were red. He wore golden armor and looked quite majestic, which made Luo Yuan think of the Six-Eared Macaque in mythology.

This Void God also noticed Luo Yuan's scrutiny, but he wasn't angry. After all, he admired a powerful person who dared to apply for a higher-level mission when he was still a Lord of Laws. After all, a higher-level mission at the Lord of Laws level was extremely dangerous, with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. So far, no one had succeeded, and countless people had perished. Therefore, this Void God used his divine power to transmit his voice: "Little fellow, my name is Bei Cang, and I am responsible for guarding this God King Realm."

"Of course, I'm not the only guard like you. Since you've applied for this upgraded mission, come with me. God King Valley is the residence of His Majesty the God King; it's very dangerous. If I don't personally lead you there, you might be annihilated by the surrounding array." Luo Yuan nodded in agreement. He could also see that everything in the God King Realm formed a mysterious array of rules, especially God King Valley, which could be very dangerous if one wasn't careful.

So the guard named Beicang led Luo Yuan on a teleportation journey towards the Valley of the Gods. Luo Yuan also looked down at the God Realm below, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the layout was ingenious. It looked like a beautiful natural landscape, but every place contained a wonderful combination. So Luo Yuan asked the guard Beicang, "Lord Beicang, as I've been looking around, I feel that the God Realm is extraordinary. Every place contains complex law patterns. Do they all contain hidden dangers?"

Upon hearing Luo Yuan's question, Bei Cang turned around and carefully examined Luo Yuan. A smile appeared on his originally indifferent face. He said, "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about secret runes. Ordinary Law Lords can't see through them, and even True God-level warriors haven't reached this level of understanding of secret runes. It seems I'm looking forward to seeing if you can complete this mission. This God King Realm is very dangerous. Basically, every place has nodes, after all, the area is too large."

Even with us guards, it's impossible to defend every spot. And without secret runes to prevent these Law Lords and True Gods from coming without permission, our work would be unsustainable, since we also need to cultivate. But with these dangerous law runes, these warriors dare not venture in. Even if they perish, it's merely punishment for their actions. Therefore, apart from the guards, no other warriors dare to break in.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan gained a general understanding of the situation in the God King Realm, which made a lot of sense. However, what Luo Yuan found interesting was that every scene in the God King Realm was not naturally formed, but rather bore traces of human intervention. Moreover, these scenes eventually formed mysterious and complex patterns, which were connected as a whole.

Bei Cang seemed to have not seen such a well-built little fellow for many years, so he continued, "You can see it too, right? The mountains, lakes, and even every blade of grass and tree in this God King Realm have formed a whole set of secret patterns, each containing hidden law patterns. In fact, this God King Realm did not originally exist, because it was a mechanical treasure personally crafted by His Majesty the God King. However, it is of a very high level and can be considered the ultimate work among mechanical treasures, even surpassing Wu Qilou."

Luo Yuan was somewhat surprised to hear this, but not frightened. He had made this guess when he saw the God King Realm, but he underestimated its level. Moreover, the fact that the God King Realm was a mechanical treasure was somewhat unexpected for Luo Yuan, because it did not look like a mechanical creation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a natural celestial body. It was just that the secret patterns formed by it made Luo Yuan feel strange. This was a treasure that even the Void True God praised.

It should be noted that even the Wuqi God in the equipment exchange list of the Python River Legion is only a True God-level ultimate treasure. It is a mechanical treasure that may be praised by even the Void True God. Its level is so high that Luo Yuan can hardly imagine it. It is certain that its level is at least above the Void True God level.

A single Ultimate Mechanical Treasure of True God level can grant a Law Lord strength comparable to an Eternal True God. If one had sufficient divine power reserves, what if one possessed an Ultimate Mechanical Treasure of Void True God or higher? Luo Yuan found it unimaginable how much that would elevate one's strength—at least to the level of a Limitless Eternal True God, or even the strength of a Chaos Ruler. It's just a pity that this God King Realm treasure is merely an auxiliary type, essentially a palace-type treasure.

However, the God-King Realm is vast. Luo Yuan is certain that its diameter is at least several billion light-years in size, while the Cosmic Ship, one of the three forbidden lands in the Cosmic Sea, is less than one hundred million light-years in size. This shows how large the God-King Realm is. As a treasure of the Mechanical Flow, the God-King Realm must have used countless rare and precious materials during its creation, which Luo Yuan could hardly imagine. Moreover, it is such a perfect and mysterious continent, how could it not astonish Luo Yuan?

Bei Cang felt a sense of pride seeing Luo Yuan's surprised expression. He laughed and said, "Little guy, you didn't expect this, did you? I had the same expression as you when I first learned about this information. This is the power of His Majesty the God King. Moreover, our God King is also a master at crafting supreme treasures, even the most difficult mechanical supreme treasures. The God King Realm you see now is actually just a casual creation left behind by His Majesty the God King when he was crafting it. I heard that His Majesty the God King later crafted a complete product. That God King Realm is said to be a God King artifact, His Majesty the God King's personal equipment, with boundless power, invincible throughout the myriad realms."

Luo Yuan was somewhat shocked upon hearing this. He knew that the Void True God mentioned by the Void True God named Bei Cang was Zuo Shan Ke. However, Luo Yuan did not expect that Zuo Shan Ke was so powerful when he was a God King. He was able to forge God King artifacts on his own. Those were super equipment, and the most powerful mechanical treasure among all equipment. However, even such a powerful Zuo Shan Ke was eventually destroyed by the God Kings of the Origin Continent. This shows the danger of the Origin Continent and that it should be kept in mind.

As Luo Yuan and the Void True God named Bei Cang talked, they flew towards God King Valley. However, it was mostly the Void True God who did the talking, and Luo Yuan who listened. But Luo Yuan would intentionally steer the conversation to find out things that interested him. Soon, the two arrived at God King Valley, a valley that was like a fairyland, lush and green, full of life and vitality. Seeing it made Luo Yuan feel good, and Bei Cang also felt happy looking at the valley.

So Bei Cang said to Luo Yuan, "This is the God King Valley where you will be carrying out your next mission to be promoted to a higher level. His Majesty the God King once lived here and refined some treasures here, but none of us had the chance to obtain them. You can go down here with peace of mind. I have already sent your information to the guards stationed here. They know that you are a warrior who has come to carry out a mission to be promoted to a higher level. Take good care of yourself. I have high hopes for you, but I still hope that you can survive."

Luo Yuan nodded in gratitude, and then Bei Cang looked at the most conspicuous nine-story tower in the Valley of Gods and said slowly, "Look at that nine-story tower, that's the Wuqi Tower you're going to. It opens once every era, and I don't know how many Law Lords and True Gods it has guided here, but so far, not a single one has been able to successfully reach the nine stories. On the contrary, more than 90% of the geniuses have perished. I hope you can live, just live."

Bei Cang sighed and left. Luo Yuan watched Bei Cang's departing figure and sighed as well. He knew that the difficulty of the Enhancement-level mission was even greater than that of the Reincarnation-level mission. The Disaster-level mission he had performed before was nothing compared to the Enhancement-level mission. Let alone completing the Enhancement-level mission, it would be good enough to just survive. Luo Yuan looked at Wu Qilou with a determined gaze. He was not just trying to survive, but also to complete the Enhancement-level mission.

Just because other Law Masters can't do something doesn't mean he can't. Although Luo Yuan's realm is still that of a Law Master, his combat power is now comparable to a low-level Void True God. Although he can't perfectly use the power of the void, he can still use some powerful secret techniques to achieve the corresponding power. He has no fear of this mission to be upgraded to a higher level. On the contrary, he is full of confidence. After all, what came this time was just an avatar. If he fails, he can continue to try.

Moreover, Luo Yuan dared to say that at the level of the Lord of Laws, it was almost impossible for anyone to surpass him in strength. After all, Luo Yuan's foundation was too strong. Once he understood this, Luo Yuan flew directly towards the God King Valley below. At this time, the guards of the God King Valley were much tighter than those in other parts of the God King Realm. After all, it was the residence of the God King. Moreover, these guards were all Void True God level experts, which surprised Luo Yuan. He had never seen so many Void True Gods before.

Moreover, the Void Gods here are not ordinary ones; they are at least mid-level or even high-level Void Gods. Even in the Jin World, these Void Gods would be high-ranking members and top-tier combatants of a force. In the entire universe, only the founders of the two holy lands are Void Gods, and even they are the lowest-level Void Gods. In other words, the founders of the two holy lands are not even qualified to be gatekeepers here. This shows how powerful the defense here is.

The guards of this God King Valley are so powerful that even a single Void True God could sweep across the entire universe. When Luo Yuan arrived at God King Valley, he was informed that no living being was allowed to enter without permission except for warriors carrying out missions to be promoted to the next level. Moreover, they were not allowed to fly. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed on the spot. So Luo Yuan had no choice but to walk through God King Valley. However, he walked very fast and soon arrived in front of Wu Qilou. He looked up and saw that it was soaring into the sky.

Luo Yuan only needed to investigate briefly to know that although Wu Qi Tower was said to have nine floors, its height actually exceeded several thousand light-years. Moreover, when Luo Yuan arrived, he saw six enormous figures. These were likely warriors who had reached the Law Master level before Luo Yuan. Their presence here meant that, like Luo Yuan, they were here to carry out this mission to be promoted to the next level. One of the six Law Masters, a powerful beast, also noticed Luo Yuan's arrival and immediately extended an invitation.

Interestingly, Luo Yuan realized he was wrong when he got closer. This Beast God was actually a True God, while the other five were Law Masters. This surprised Luo Yuan. The Beast God said, "Warrior, there's no need to be surprised. I am your guide, not a warrior here to carry out a mission."

According to the rules for opening the Wuqi Tower, each time ten warriors must enter, it can be opened. So when all ten warriors are present, it is considered a batch. You are now the fifth batch. Four batches of warriors have entered before you, but they have all perished. It's just that your batch of warriors hasn't gathered ten yet. Be patient and wait." After the Beast God finished speaking, he didn't continue, like a robot that was only responsible for guiding. Luo Yuan didn't pay attention and looked around.

At this moment, there were only five warriors from tribes or alien beasts in front of Wuqi Tower. They were obviously all Law Lords who had come to carry out this conferment mission, just like Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan was sizing them up, and they were also sizing him up. Luo Yuan could tell that these five Law Lords had powerful auras and were all top-level experts among the Law Lords. Then, one of the five warriors, who looked tall and thin like a bamboo pole, looked at Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan noticed that the tribal warrior's gaze was also looking over. This tall and thin man was also wearing a standard True God-level battle armor, but the pattern on it was different from Luo Yuan's. It was a strange beast that looked like a dragon, so he also seemed to be a warrior of a special legion. The tall and thin man said to Luo Yuan, "Judging from your battle armor, it should be from the Python River Legion, right? You are a warrior of the Eastern Army, right?"

Luo Yuan nodded, then politely said, "I am indeed from the Python River Legion. Judging from your standard armor, you should be a soldier of the Juelong Army, which is also a legion of the Eastern Army." As they talked, they suddenly felt a sense of closeness. After all, in this unfamiliar place, having the same faction brought them closer. So the tall, thin soldier said, "Hello, I am a soldier from the Juelong Legion. My name is Xu Zhong."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan replied, "Hello, I am a soldier from the Manghe Legion named Hunyuan." The soldier named Xu Zhong said, "The soldiers who are carrying out this promotion mission are not only from our Eastern Army, but also from the other three armies. However, it is quite rare to see soldiers from the same group from the Eastern Army here. I know some soldiers from your Manghe Legion, but I haven't seen you yet. Which detachment of the Manghe Legion do you belong to?"

Chapter 516 Wuqi Tower, Battle

Luo Yuan could tell from Xu Zhong's question that he was a veteran from the Zilong Army. Since the same-rank powerhouses in the special legion often had the opportunity to carry out the same mission, many of them naturally knew each other. However, Luo Yuan was a newcomer and was not familiar with the other special legion warriors, so he said directly, "I just arrived."

As soon as Luo Yuan finished speaking, Xu Zhong's expression became complicated, a mixture of shock and astonishment. Even the other four warriors present were shocked. This was the first time they had ever heard of a newcomer undertaking a mission of the "Enhancement" level. These warriors were veterans who had experienced countless missions, including many "Disaster" and "Reincarnation" level missions. They had continuously improved their strength through countless missions before daring to challenge the "Enhancement" mission.

Xu Zhong carefully examined Luo Yuan, then said with a puzzled look, "So you're a newcomer, and the information I've gathered doesn't include you. This means you've been with the Eastern Army for less than three eras. We have records of the powerful warriors in each special legion, and only the strongest warriors are qualified and have the courage to carry out the conferment mission. But you're a newcomer and you're able to carry out the most dangerous conferment mission, which means you're very strong and destined to become famous."

Luo Yuan merely smiled at Xu Zhong's praise. Therefore, the qualifications of warriors applying for the upgraded mission would be reviewed by the higher-ups, based solely on their past performance in missions. Although Luo Yuan had only carried out one disaster-level mission, he had obtained so many relics from True God-level experts, which naturally led to his direct assessment as a top-tier elite among the Law Masters. And those who could come to God King Valley to challenge Wu Qi Tower were naturally the most outstanding Law Masters.

Even so, these Law Masters knew that Wu Qilou was a place where one had a slim chance of survival, so they naturally sought companions. Cooperation would increase their chances of survival. Since both Zhong Xu and Luo Yuan came from the Eastern Army, they naturally wanted to build a relationship with Luo Yuan so that they could help each other. Luo Yuan knew this and did not refuse.

While chatting with Xu Zhong, Luo Yuan waited with them for the other warriors to arrive. After several days, they finally gathered ten warriors. The Beast God in charge of guiding them said, "Alright, now you have ten warriors in your batch. As the fifth batch of warriors to enter Wuqi Tower, I still have to remind you to be careful. Almost all the previous batches of warriors who went in perished. It's impossible to reach the ninth floor. But surviving is the most important thing."

The ten warriors present were all shocked upon hearing this. After all, they were astonished to learn that almost all the previous batches of warriors who had entered had perished. Warriors who could come here were the best among the Lords of Law, the top elites. Their secret techniques and treasures were all top-notch. Even so, they had no choice. They knew the dangers of the upgraded mission before they came, and now it was impossible for them to back out.

Soon, the door to the first floor of Wuqi Tower slowly opened. This door was enormous. Luo Yuan was surprised to find that it was hundreds of light-years in size, about the size of a typical small universe. After the door opened, only dazzling light could be seen, and nothing could be seen inside. However, the pressure emanating from it made Luo Yuan and the other warriors feel shocked and awed. So the Beast God said, "Alright, everyone go in. This conferment mission has begun."

The ten warriors from Luo Yuan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. After all, those who had come here were prepared to perish. Success meant instant ascension, while failure meant certain death. Even if they couldn't complete the mission, surviving would provide experience for the next challenge. So, they all flew towards the gate, none of them using teleportation directly, but proceeding cautiously, knowing the dangers involved were unknown.

When Luo Yuan arrived at the first floor of Wuqi Tower, he discovered that it was an independent little world. However, this world was full of desert, which was very desolate. The temperature was extremely low, and there was a howling wind. There was a layer of frost on the surface of the desert. This scene surprised Luo Yuan. This was the first time he had seen a hot desert full of ice. At the edge of this world was a huge gate of light. At this moment, Luo Yuan realized that this gate was the gate of time and space.

Just as Luo Yuan was observing this unfamiliar environment, the other nine warriors also flew in through the portal. They too, upon seeing the peculiar environment, began to observe it carefully. After all ten warriors entered, the massive portal disappeared. Luo Yuan probed outwards with his divine sense and discovered that this desert world had no boundaries whatsoever. This was the first level of the Wu Qi Tower. It didn't seem dangerous at first glance, but he couldn't let his guard down.

At this moment, Xu Zhong transmitted his voice to Luo Yuan: "This is also my first time venturing into Wu Qi Tower. After all, each promotion mission is different. I only know that Wu Qi Tower is very dangerous, but nothing unusual has happened since we arrived here. So what kind of danger could it be? It can't be in the desert."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan simply shook his head. It was his first time here, so how could he know where the dangers would lie? Luo Yuan also had time to carefully observe the ten warriors present. Apart from Luo Yuan and the other six warriors from the tribe, the remaining four warriors were all beasts. They, who had been calm before, now appeared flustered. After all, before entering, they had heard the beast god say that the previous batches of warriors had almost all perished.

Although the cold, desert world was very quiet, they understood that this was only temporary and that danger was inevitable. They just didn't know from which direction the danger would come. In this situation, cooperation was the only way to ensure safety. Soon, Xu Zhong and Luo Yuan walked together to help each other deal with the dangers ahead. After all, among these soldiers, only the two of them were soldiers of the Eastern Army, and they had gotten along well before. Now, cooperation was just right.

Just as everyone was on guard, a deafening sound suddenly erupted from the previously quiet world. A powerful energy wave emanated from the source of the sound, sweeping across the entire area. Luo Yuan and the other ten warriors looked towards the source of the sound and the source of the powerful energy. They saw that the distant sky was covered with dark clouds, but these clouds were swirling. At the center of the swirling clouds, a pillar of light formed by lightning shot into the sky. This pillar of light quickly struck the desert below, instantly connecting heaven and earth, and its terrifying power was released without restraint.

The sudden appearance of the pillar of light left Luo Yuan and the other ten warriors in disbelief. The power it emitted was astonishing even to them. This power far surpassed that of a True God-level expert, even reaching the level of a Void True God. However, this mission was at the level of a Law Lord. Even if it was difficult, it shouldn't be this outrageous. Therefore, the ten warriors present were puzzled. After all, this was only the first floor of Wuqi Tower, and the eight floors above would only become more and more dangerous.

If the danger level of each level increases accordingly, then they don't need to continue. They can just wait to perish here, because it is an impossible task. They won't even be able to survive. Just as everyone was puzzled, characters suddenly appeared on the towering pillar of light. These characters were also the common language of the Jin world, but all the characters exuded a terrifying killing intent, which seemed to want to directly control their consciousness.

Luo Yuan's will had long since reached the level of a true god, but he was still affected by the killing intent emanating from these words. At this moment, his eyes were filled with killing intent, and his heart seemed to be burning with raging flames. An overwhelming anger and killing intent almost made him lose his composure and turn him into an angry beast.

As these words continued to appear, they quickly formed coherent sentences. Luo Yuan and the other ten soldiers persevered while trying to decipher the meaning of these sentences.

"This pillar of light is the only way to the second level, and it's also the challenge for the first level. However, not all warriors are qualified to enter. Only when you eliminate one warrior will you be qualified to enter this challenge passage. If the warriors who follow enter the first level, all the warriors who haven't entered the pillar of light passage will be erased by the rules here. You cannot use palace-type treasures to escape this battle, or you will be directly erased. Let's begin."

These words, blood-red in color, floated above the pillar of lightning, radiating immense power and killing intent. This terrified all the warriors present, making them realize that the meaning of these words was no joke. If they didn't follow these requirements, they would truly be erased. They didn't know who had set these rules, or if they had been established by the spirit of the Wuqi Tower. After all, it wasn't surprising that a treasure of the Wuqi Tower's level had a spirit.

At least the ten warriors present now would not doubt the meaning of these words. Putting aside the dangers of entering this pillar of lightning, just to enter it, one of the warriors had to be eliminated. If the ten warriors present fought in pairs, only five of them could survive. Luo Yuan understood why the previous batches of warriors had almost all perished. The first level of the challenge required eliminating half of them.

This reminded Luo Yuan of the warrior selection he faced when he first arrived at the God King Legion, which was just as brutal. It was clear that the Jin World was actually the place where Zuo Shan Ke trained his subordinates when he was the God King, making countless warriors fight each other, and only the strongest survived and were qualified to become his subordinates. That's why the surviving warriors were so powerful. At this moment, the ten warriors looked at the other warriors warily, and Luo Yuan also considered who to eliminate.

The relationship between the ten warriors became delicate. After all, every Law Lord who could come here was a top-tier expert, and naturally, they would not hold back. As their power was released, even this space-time began to stagnate. This was done to guard against other powerful figures making a move. In this oppressive atmosphere, one warrior suddenly made his move. As soon as he made his move, the other warriors also made their moves at the same time, attacking the warrior they had chosen. Only in this way could they survive.

At this moment, a strange beast attacked Luo Yuan. This beast looked like a hybrid of an insect and a wild animal. It charged forward with a large mouth, and at the same time, two other tribal warriors also attacked Luo Yuan. One of the warriors was wielding a weapon resembling a spiked club. The club was crackling with lightning, and the power it emitted made Luo Yuan immediately realize that this unassuming spiked club was actually a powerful mechanical treasure. They all attacked Luo Yuan at the same time.

Logically, the ten warriors should be fighting in pairs, but now three warriors are attacking Luo Yuan at the same time. This is treating Luo Yuan like a pushover. Luo Yuan was speechless. He had guessed that this was because when Xu Zhong was probing for information about him, he had mentioned that he was a newcomer, which these warriors had overheard. Therefore, they thought that Luo Yuan, as a newcomer, was not strong. However, they did not know that Luo Yuan said this because he was not worried about these warriors attacking him at all.

Now that Luo Yuan possesses the Golden Claw God, a high-level mechanical treasure, he can even destroy True Gods, let alone these Law Lords. Even the top Law Lords are still Law Lords. However, in the midst of the ten warriors' chaotic battle, Luo Yuan directly took out a True God-level domain-type treasure he had previously acquired. Instantly, snowflakes filled the sky, and an invisible domain power emanated from the surroundings, immediately enveloping the three warriors and slowing them down.

The three Law Masters who attacked Luo Yuan simultaneously were all very strong. Besides the strange beast, one of them was wielding a mechanical treasure shaped like a spiked club, and the last one was extremely fast. He might have a powerful speed-enhancing secret technique or a treasure that could increase speed. Luo Yuan hadn't paid much attention to the extremely fast warrior before, but after he used his domain treasure, he immediately saw the extremely fast warrior and realized that the warrior was actually Xu Zhong.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel angry upon seeing this. Although he knew that the Jin world was dangerous, especially since these powerful people had no basic principles in order to survive and become stronger, he was still displeased that Xu Zhong, with whom he had previously had a good relationship, had directly attacked him. He angrily said, "Xu Zhong, why did you attack me? Didn't we agree to support each other? We are both from the Eastern Army. You couldn't wait to attack me on the first level?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhong couldn't help but sneer, "Here, the strong live and the weak die. The reason I tried to build a relationship with you before was simply to gather information about you and use you as a shield for the future. Now, all I need to do is eliminate you to have a chance to ascend to the second level. You are just a newcomer and the weakest, so naturally I have to eliminate you."

After speaking, Xu Zhong also took out a bell-shaped domain-type treasure, which emitted a purple light. This light clashed with the snow-like light emitted by Luo Yuan's domain treasure. Luo Yuan was somewhat surprised to see this, not expecting that Xu Zhong also had a true god-level domain-type treasure. However, Luo Yuan was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered. Luo Yuan was very unhappy with Xu Zhong's lack of moral principles and immediately used the Dream Bubble Shadow technique to attack Xu Zhong at an extremely fast speed.

After Luo Yuan unleashed the Dream Bubble Technique, his speed became incredibly fast, leaving the three warriors no chance to react. Their attacks were completely ineffective against Luo Yuan, which shocked the three warriors. They were all top-tier Law Masters, among the best in terms of both strength and speed. Yet, Luo Yuan's movement technique left them unable to even keep up with his shadow. This movement technique was definitely a secret technique at the True God level or above, demonstrating Luo Yuan's immense power.

Chapter 517 The Strongest Warrior

After Luo Yuan used the Dream Bubble Movement Technique, Xu Zhong realized that he had underestimated Luo Yuan's strength. When Luo Yuan said that he was a newcomer, both Xu Zhong and the other warriors thought that Luo Yuan was the weakest. Therefore, three warriors attacked Luo Yuan at the same time. But now Luo Yuan attacked Xu Zhong directly. Xu Zhong also knew that he had offended Luo Yuan. After all, his behavior was indeed too immoral. He realized the gap in strength between himself and Luo Yuan.

Xu Zhong decided not to confront Luo Yuan directly. As his thoughts raced, a pair of white wings appeared on his body. Instantly, a flash of white light appeared, and Xu Zhong transformed into a strange beast-like bird, greatly increasing his speed. Without hesitation, Xu Zhong fled. Luo Yuan was somewhat surprised to see this, because he had already realized that Xu Zhong was actually using a mechanical treasure. He had seen it on the exchange list in the equipment station. The name of this treasure was Chin Bird.

This mechanical treasure called the Chin Bird is even more powerful and precious than Luo Yuan's Golden Claw God, because the Chin Bird is worth 600,000 military merits. This mechanical treasure is an extremely advanced speed-type treasure among the many mechanical treasures of the Eastern Army. It may not be as agile as Luo Yuan in terms of movement, but it is top-notch in terms of escaping. However, Xu Zhong was also decisive. After knowing that Luo Yuan was powerful, he did not test him, but fled directly and steadily.

At this moment, Luo Yuan understood the strength of these top-tier Law Masters who dared to carry out the Ennoblement-level missions. These Law Masters were all battle-hardened experts. Among the missions they had carried out, even the Disaster-level missions were just ordinary, and there were also many Reincarnation-level missions. Therefore, they had accumulated a lot of military merits and naturally obtained a lot of treasures. They even possessed precious mechanical treasures. They were also very skilled in combat experience and their actions were very steady and cautious.

Luo Yuan immediately engaged Xu Zhong in a few exchanges, only to find that Xu Zhong was no match for him. If it weren't for Xu Zhong possessing the Chin Bird, a top-tier mechanical treasure for escaping, Luo Yuan could have easily defeated him within a few moves. However, Luo Yuan ultimately decided against continuing the pursuit. He only needed to eliminate one warrior to enter the passage to the second level, and there was no need to waste time on Xu Zhong, especially since the Chin Bird was indeed too fast.
