Chapter 555: Continue to Kill Them All!

"That damn kid, he startled me!" Ren Xingchun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he had weathered countless storms, his heart had been in his throat just moments ago.

If Ye Yuan had been kicked out like that, he would have lost tremendous face.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Ye Yuan finally charged into the second level.

"What's going on? Ye Yuan actually rushed into the second level at the last second!"

"Yeah, if he had this strength all along, why didn't he go in earlier? But if he didn't have it, how did he manage to break in at the end?"

"This Ye Yuan, challenging the Haotian Tower and playing with our hearts like this..."

It had to be said, Ye Yuan's heart-stopping act made many feel as if they had fallen from a cloud—thrilling to the extreme.

In fact, many were already preparing to see a joke, but Ye Yuan somehow managed to pass the first level.

This left those who were eager for a good show feeling utterly bored.

"Something's off. Logically, with Ye Yuan's strength, he shouldn't have had trouble passing the first level. So why did he only break through at the last moment? What was he doing in there?" Qin Hongtao was equally puzzled by Ye Yuan's actions.

Earlier, their thoughts had been simple: Ye Yuan either lacked sufficient Yuan power, or he had strong explosive power but poor endurance.

But now, thinking carefully, Ye Yuan shouldn't be like that.

So what was Ye Yuan doing in the first level for such a long time?

Qihai stared deeply at Ye Yuan's name and suddenly had some guesses.

"Could that kid be training himself in there?"

...

Somewhere in the second level, Ye Yuan pointed a finger and killed a lion-shaped beast, frowning.

"The guardian beast of the second level is the Lightning Electric Lion? That's troublesome!"

The Lightning Electric Lion was a third-level beast, not only incredibly fast but also its attacks carried lightning attributes, making it quite difficult to deal with.

A single Lightning Electric Lion was naturally nothing to Ye Yuan, but recalling the terrifying numbers in the first level made even him shiver.

Although the beasts in the Haotian Tower were not real, their attributes and strength were identical to those outside.

Fortunately, the several Lightning Electric Lions Ye Yuan had killed were all early third-level. If this level was full of early third-level Lightning Electric Lions, there might still be a chance to fight.

Even so, the difficulty of the second level was several tiers above the first.

Third-level beasts and second-level peak beasts were on completely different levels!

"No wonder Lu Linfeng only made it to the seventh level. If the difficulty increases like this, how terrifying must the ninth level be?" Ye Yuan exclaimed.

After thinking it over, Ye Yuan decided to kill all the beasts before entering the third level!

The allure of the nameless Yuan power was too great for Ye Yuan.

Back in the first level, he had used only a few drops of nameless Yuan power to kill all the beasts.

After absorbing the nameless energy from those beasts, Ye Yuan found that his cultivation could no longer be suppressed, so he took the opportunity to break through.

With this breakthrough, Ye Yuan directly reached the peak of the third level of the Sea of Transformation, just a hair away from the fourth level.

Ye Yuan was horrified to discover that this nameless Yuan power could actually expand the Yuan power sea!

Originally, according to his estimate, the third level of the Sea of Transformation should have a nine-zhang Yuan power sea. But now, Ye Yuan's Yuan power sea had expanded to ten zhang in diameter!

Though it was only one zhang, for Ye Yuan, whose Yuan power sea was formed from perfect liquid, even expanding by a single inch was extremely difficult.

It must be known that Ye Yuan's previous Yuan power sea was already comparable to the top young geniuses in the Divine Realm.

Now, with an extra zhang in diameter, he had definitely surpassed those geniuses!

Ye Yuan found that this nameless Yuan power was truly mysterious.

Besides enabling instant martial skills and amplifying them, it could also expand the Yuan power sea!

He didn't know the origin of this Yuan power or what other functions it had, but Ye Yuan was certain that this nameless Yuan power was a heaven-defying treasure!

At least in the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan had never heard of any special Yuan power having so many amplification effects!

Ye Yuan grew increasingly curious about the origin of the Haotian Tower; it was simply a treasure trove!

Not to mention anything else, just this nameless Yuan power alone would drive all martial artists crazy.

After a moment of deliberation, Ye Yuan began to advance deeper into the second level.

Since others had entered two days earlier, they were probably already near the third level, so the entrance area was naturally empty.

But this time, Ye Yuan had learned his lesson. As he killed the Lightning Electric Lions, he absorbed and refined the nameless Yuan power to maintain sufficient Yuan power.

With the power of the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art, as long as Ye Yuan didn't overconsume like in the first level, he wouldn't face Yuan power depletion.

Ye Yuan planned to kill a batch of Lightning Electric Lions first, then absorb some nameless energy, break through to the fourth level of the Sea of Transformation, and then head to the entrance of the third level.

These Lightning Electric Lions also contained a trace of nameless energy, much stronger than the beasts in the first level. If he could kill all the Lightning Electric Lions in the second level, he could refine a considerable amount of this nameless Yuan power.

...

At the entrance to the third level, dozens of martial artists were surrounded by an endless swarm of Lightning Electric Lions, the battle extremely intense.

During the fight, martial artists were occasionally killed by the Lightning Electric Lions and teleported out of the Haotian Tower.

In the second level, the pressure on all martial artists increased sharply, even for those at the Soul Sea realm.

Although these Lightning Electric Lions posed no threat to them, they could no longer act as leisurely as they had in the first level.

Qin Yan casually swung his sword, killing several Lightning Electric Lions, but his gaze was fixed on Liu Hong ahead.

"I don't know where this guy came from, but his strength is astonishing! How could a loose cultivator reach such a level?" Qin Yan said.

"I have a feeling he's still holding back, planning to use it later," Guo Taoqun said with a grave expression.

"Heh, which of us three doesn't have our own trump cards? When the time comes to break into the fifth level, we might have to use them!" Qin Yan laughed.

Guo Taoqun nodded slightly and suddenly said, "By the way, after I parted ways with Ye Yuan in the first level, I haven't seen him. Have you seen him?"

Qin Yan was startled, then realized, shaking his head. "I haven't seen him either. With his strength, he should have been here by now!"

"Yeah, in the first level, I was reckless enough to compete with him in killing beasts, and I was thoroughly defeated! I think even Liu Hong might not be faster than Ye Yuan!" Guo Taoqun said.

Qin Yan laughed. "You really were asking for it! Ye Yuan's strength isn't just about killing Soul Sea realm cultivators. Anyway, we probably don't need to worry about him. Let's hurry to the next level; there are more and more beasts here."
