Chapter 922: The Tower of Breaking Void Opens! Amethys
Time passed rapidly, and the number of psychics gathered outside the Tower of Breaking Void grew ever larger, at least five hundred thousand in total.
When the clock struck eight in the morning, the High Priestess Amethys descended from afar, hovering in midair before the Tower of Breaking Void.
She wore a pale golden robe, her figure slender and alluring.
Even with her eyes covered by black silk bands, her beauty remained breathtaking.
In her right hand, she held a magnificent staff symbolizing her status as High Priestess.
The space around the staff seemed enveloped by immense power, warping and twisting.
After Amethys arrived, the other two supreme beings of the Ember World, Lei Ding and Es, also descended from afar, hovering in midair.
"Welcome, psychics of Blue Star."
The Tower of Breaking Void has stood in our Ember World for over a century.
The tower has thirteen levels; we have explored only up to the sixth.
In these first six levels, we have gathered countless treasures.
Including rare flowers and herbs, exotic fruits, and even opportunities for psychic evolution.
But to open the seventh level beyond the sixth, we require thirty thousand sixth-rank or higher experts.
That is why the Ember Temple has invited you, psychics of Blue Star.
Once the Tower of Breaking Void opens, our Ember Temple will not target you in any way.
What opportunities you claim depends entirely on your own abilities."
Amethys's crimson lips moved slightly, her clear, melodious voice echoing across the entire area.
Many looked on with excitement, their eyes burning with desire toward the towering Tower of Breaking Void.
Rare flowers and herbs!
Heavenly treasures!
Opportunities for psychic evolution!
Any one of these opportunities alone would be enough to stir the heart.
Otherwise, so many Blue Star psychics would never have entered the Ember World.
"Two of you, prepare to open the Tower of Breaking Void."
Seeing the atmosphere sufficiently charged, Amethys spoke softly.
"Understood." Lei Ding and Es both nodded simultaneously.
Amethys pulled off the black silk band covering her eyes.
Released from restraint, her jet-black tresses stirred freely in the wind.
At the same time, a pair of piercing, pale golden eyes appeared.
"What beautiful eyes!"
"So stunning—is this what a supreme being of the Ember World truly looks like?"
Amethys's figure and features were already of the highest caliber.
Now that her eyes were revealed, it was as if the final brushstroke completed a masterpiece, causing many Blue Star psychics to gasp in awe.
Normally, they would never dare to comment on such a powerful being.
But with over half a million people present, the sheer crowd gave them a false sense of courage.
Yet they quickly fell silent, for Amethys unleashed the aura of a supreme being!
Whoosh—
A powerful pressure spread outward.
Everyone present—even ninth-rank experts—felt a lethal threat emanating from Amethys!
Boom! Boom!
Two more equally formidable auras erupted from Lei Ding and Es beside her!
All held their breath, faces stiff with shock.
Many lower-rank psychics turned pale, trembling uncontrollably.
It was a natural bodily reaction—there was no way to resist.
"This is the pressure of a supreme being!" Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed.
This was merely ordinary aura release—if Amethys and the others fully unleashed their power without restraint,
every psychic below seventh rank here would likely explode into dust.
"Open!"
Amethys cried out sharply, and the three supreme beings channeled their power simultaneously into the Tower of Breaking Void before them!
Hum—
The massive Tower of Breaking Void trembled violently; the countless spatial fissures surrounding it multiplied rapidly.
Simultaneously, at the tower's base, a colossal door over thirty meters high and twenty meters wide slammed open!
Inside the doorway, a blinding white haze obscured all sight of what lay within.
"The Tower of Breaking Void is open. You may enter."
Amethys's voice sounded again.
Compared to before, it carried a faint hint of exhaustion.
Clearly, opening the Tower of Breaking Void was no trivial task.
"Ha! After four years, the Tower of Breaking Void has opened again! I'll be the first!"
"Ha! Not a chance—I'm the first!"
The many experts waiting before the tower went wild, charging toward the entrance.
"Shuang, we're going in."
Xu Jingming turned to Ling Shuang for a final farewell.
"Mm. Be careful once you're inside.
News came from Blue Star—the Sect of Destiny has entered too, and there's more than one ninth-rank among them."
Ling Shuang murmured gently.
"Don't worry. With the Spatial Beast Bone, if things turn dire, we'll run."
Xu Jingming grinned. Su Qingli added:
"The spatial currents are dangerous too. You must be cautious while training under Lady Himan."
"Understood."
Ling Shuang nodded, then glanced at Su Qingli with a half-joking tone:
"Qingli, I'm entrusting Jingming to you."
"Don't worry. I'm his teacher.
I won't let him lose an arm or a leg—I'll bring him back whole and intact."
Su Qingli said seriously.
Though in truth, she had taught Xu Jingming nothing at all.
But a teacher is a teacher—the hierarchy demanded she care for this junior disciple.
"Good."
Ling Shuang nodded, her fair face filled with deep reluctance:
"Then go in first—don't let others snatch all the opportunities."
"Alright."
Xu Jingming reached out, pulling Ling Shuang into his arms.
He kissed her slightly flushed cheek, then spread his Lei Long Wings and flew with Su Qingli into the doorway.
"Jingming's gone. Now it's time for my own training."
Watching the two vanish into the tower's doorway, Ling Shuang turned her gaze away, her eyes hardening once more.
A flash of space—and her slender, curvaceous form vanished from sight.
Another half-minute passed, and the hundreds of thousands surrounding the tower had all entered; the area around it grew utterly empty.
"The spatial fissures around the Tower of Breaking Void have increased again."
In midair,
Supreme Being Es frowned at the growing fissures surrounding the tower.
"Probably two or three more openings left."
Amethys, having retied the black silk band over her eyes, nodded in agreement.
The Tower of Breaking Void was forcibly dragged from the spatial currents into the Ember World—it has never fully fused with this world.
The countless fine spatial fissures encircling it are proof enough.
Each time the tower opens, the number of these fissures increases.
Eventually, when the fissures reach their limit, the tower will detach from the Ember World and return to the spatial currents.
That is why each opening is treated with extreme caution.
"With these Blue Star people here, all levels beyond the sixth will be revealed.
If we can claim the opportunity in the final level, even if the tower leaves our world, it won't matter."
Lei Ding's deep voice rang out, as always, domineering and unyielding.
"True enough."
Emers nodded slightly.
Besides those seventh- and eighth-rank prodigies, the Flame Divine Temple had also sent in many ninth-rank experts.
She had once used her Eye of Fate to predict the fates of these individuals.
But without exception, she could only foresee their movements within the first six levels, never beyond the seventh.
In other words, she herself had no idea what might happen inside the Void-Shattering Tower.
Someone might reach the highest thirteenth level, or no one might ascend at all.
Unconsciously... Emers thought of Xu Jingming, whose future she could not predict.
Xu Jingming's strength was by no means the strongest among them.
Yet she had a premonition that Xu Jingming might give her a surprise...
