Chapter 365

After exceeding the target, if you continue and play the full 10 minutes, every additional 【Polar Ice Crystal】 killed will add one point to the final reward.

Luo Chenyu, however, slightly furrowed his brow.

If every layer is like this, advancing through the floors is going to be tough!

Helplessness...

What 【Tower of Gods】 tests is luck.

Eye of Insight!

"A level-140 elite monster, and its stats aren't bad at all!"

Waiting for the countdown to end, Luo Chenyu flashed directly into the monster crowd, his pitch-black wolf-fang club standing out even more against the snowy-white surroundings.

One swing of the club, and within a ten-meter radius a patch of ice appeared.

At the same time.

The little loli in red shot a "side-eye," and countless gray threads extended from her body, sweeping toward the 【Polar Ice Crystals】.

This wasn't her ultimate skill, but the effect of her most basic awakened skill.

As long as she has enough mana, she can release small skills infinitely.

Her damage isn't as high as Luo Chenyu's, but she has the advantage of attack range and striking unexpectedly.

One person and one pet began a frenzied slaughter!

………………

Bancheng, in a certain courtyard.

"Inoue-san, are you certain the contestants from Daiao Nation were killed by Luo Chenyu?"

Bancheng's vice city-lord, Inukazuka Tsubasa, knelt on the ground, holding a teacup in his hand — inside was not the usual dark-green tea, but a blood-red liquid.

Before him stood Bancheng's Enforcement Squad captain, Inoue Gojuroku.

"Lord Inukazuka, you also know that when it comes to tracking aura, unless a Demigod takes action, no one can match me. The three Daiao Nation contestants and that Tier 9 teacher definitely vanished within that range, and in that area, apart from Luo Chenyu's group of three, no one could have killed them."

"Baka!!"

Inoue Gojuroku said hatefully: "Those bastards from Xuanlong Nation, pushing this matter onto the great Holy Temple!"

"Easy now!" Inukazuka Tsubasa calmly took a sip of the blood-red liquid, showing an expression of enjoyment, then said: "Inoue-san, go inform the person in charge of Daiao Nation. Whether they believe it or not is none of our business!"

"As for the dirty water from Xuanlong Nation, ignore them. The Lord's plan is what matters most!"

"Hai!!"

Inoue Gojuroku bowed deeply. "I'll see to it right away!"

"No rush."

Inukazuka Tsubasa said calmly: "Keep a close eye on Luo Chenyu's movements. The moment he dares to take half a step out of Bancheng, notify me."

"Hai!"

After Inoue Gojuroku left, a figure slowly walked out from behind the screen.

It was actually the black-robed man from a few days ago off the coast of the East Sea.

Seeing the black-robed man appear, Inukazuka Tsubasa immediately rose, dropped to both knees, and said respectfully: "My Lord!"

"Has the venue for the tournament been properly arranged?"

The black-robed man's voice was very weak — even weaker than when he had fled a few days earlier.

It sounded like that of an old man on the verge of death.

"My Lord, rest assured. The Imperial Household has already dispatched all the Onmyoji and experts skilled in magic formations. Once the great array is complete, not a single one of them will escape!"

"When the time comes, you... puh..."

Before Inukazuka Tsubasa could finish speaking, his body was suddenly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"This one knows his fault, please spare me, Master!"

"Hmph!" the black-robed man snorted coldly. "The Holy Temple is what matters most. As long as we can resurrect the great deity, nothing else matters — even if it means... sacrificing the entire Sakura Island!"

"Ye... yes... for the Holy Temple!"

"Get lost. If Luo Chenyu leaves Bancheng, bring him back — dead or alive!"

………………

"Daddy~"

The little loli in red lay aggrieved in Luo Chenyu's arms, her big eyes watery, on the verge of tears.

Luo Chenyu shook his head helplessly and said: "The targeting is too strong, big brother can't do anything about it either..."

The reason was simple...

The BOSS on the tenth floor didn't have strong stats.

But the sudden 【Tower of Gods】 random rule — all magic attacks nullified!

Instantly stripped the little loli in red of most of her offensive capability.

Possession!

3...

2...

1...!

Countdown over!

Brutal Charge!

Boom!

Luo Chenyu blazed with Lei Guang as he slammed into the BOSS over three meters tall.

Damage exceeded a hundred million!

After the damage buffs stacked, Luo Chenyu finally couldn't hold back any longer and directly unleashed the divine artifact skill 【Pillar of Heaven】.

Since he'd promised to avenge the little loli in red, he had to do it clean and decisive.

A tremendous roar echoed through the tenth-floor space.

Violent energy converged into a single point.

The BOSS exploded in an instant!!

Instakilling a Tier 8 BOSS — this was his first time achieving it!

"Ding, you have slain the Nightmare BOSS 【Sea God Canglang Emissary】, Level 145, on the tenth floor of 【Tower of Gods】. Gained 45,000,000 experience!"

"Ding, you have successfully cleared the tenth floor of 【Tower of Gods】. Bonus experience: 20,000,000. Gods' Blessing Shard +1!"

"Ding, only one challenger remains on the current floor and has defeated the BOSS. The tenth-floor Guardian Challenge has been activated. Do you wish to begin the challenge?"

……

"Tenth-floor Guardian?"

A challenger who wishes to become a Guardian must satisfy two conditions.

First, when the Guardian floor is activated, all other adventurers must have already failed and left 【Tower of Gods】.

Second, the original Guardian must be defeated.

Both are indispensable.

Luo Chenyu's brow furrowed slightly. The existence of the Guardian piqued his curiosity, but considering 【Tower of Gods】's difficulty, the Guardian was certainly no pushover.

Moreover, 【Tower of Gods】 had existed for so many years — the Guardian's strength was probably at least Tier 9!

Because…

【Tower of Gods】's power ceiling was capped at Tier 9!

"Anyway, there's no penalty for failing the challenge, and… it's just an illusion. Worth a try!"

Immediately after.

Luo Chenyu entered the Guardian Challenge space directly.

Before his eyes stood a single back — a powerful, sturdy frame, giving off a distinct air of turning its back on all mortal life.

Eye of Insight!

"Holy shit!!"

The moment Luo Chenyu saw the Guardian, he couldn't help but cry out in shock.

It was actually him!!
