Chapter 922: The Void-Breaking Tower Opens! Aimos's Premonition!

~8 min read 1,479 words

Time passed swiftly, and the ability-users gathered around the Void-Breaking Tower grew ever more numerous—at least five hundred thousand of them.

When the time struck exactly eight in the morning, High Priestess Aimos stepped through the air from afar and came to a halt in midair before the Void-Breaking Tower.

She was seen wearing a pale-gold long robe, her figure slender and captivating.

Even though her eyes were bound by a black silk ribbon, her features remained strikingly beautiful.

In her right hand she held an ornate scepter symbolizing the status of High Priestess.

The space around the scepter seemed shrouded by a powerful force, twisting and warping.

After Aimos arrived, the other two Supreme Powerhouses of the Spark World—Lei Ding and Es—also stepped through the air and hovered in midair.

"Welcome, ability-users of Blue Star.

The Void-Breaking Tower has stood in our Spark World for over a hundred years.

The Void-Breaking Tower has thirteen levels in total; we have explored up to the sixth.

Within those first six levels, we have reaped a great many treasures.

Among them are rare flowers and strange herbs, uncommon exotic fruits, and even the chance for an ability to transform and evolve.

However, the seventh level beyond the sixth requires thirty thousand powerhouses of the sixth tier or above to open.

That is why the Spark Temple has invited the powerful ones of Blue Star to come.

Once the Void-Breaking Tower opens, our Spark Temple will not single any of you out.

What fortune you obtain depends entirely on your own ability."

Aimos's crimson lips moved slightly, and a clear, melodious voice rang out across the entire region.

Many people's expressions grew excited, their gazes burning as they stared at the Void-Breaking Tower that soared into the clouds.

Rare flowers and strange herbs!

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures!

The chance for an ability to transform and evolve!

Any single one of those opportunities would be enough to make one's heart stir.

Otherwise, so many Blue Star ability-users would never have entered the Spark World.

"The two of you, prepare to open the Void-Breaking Tower."

Seeing that the atmosphere had been stirred up enough, Aimos said softly.

"Alright." The two Supreme Powerhouses, Lei Ding and Es, nodded in unison.

Aimos pulled off the black silk ribbon that covered her eyes.

Freed from its binding, the black hair that had been tied by the ribbon immediately swayed with the wind.

At the same time, a pair of pale-golden, breathtakingly beautiful eyes appeared.

"What beautiful eyes!"

"So gorgeous—is this a Supreme Powerhouse of the Spark World?"

Aimos's figure and looks were already among the finest.

Now that her eyes were revealed, it was like the finishing touch to a dragon—drawing cries of admiration from many Blue Star ability-users.

Under normal circumstances, they would naturally never dare to size up such a powerhouse so openly.

But with at least over five hundred thousand people present, the sheer number gave them a strange kind of courage.

Yet soon they could say no more, because Aimos unleashed the aura belonging to a Supreme Powerhouse!

Whoosh—

A tremendous pressure spread outward.

Everyone present—even ninth-tier powerhouses—felt a lethal threat emanating from Aimos!

Boom! Boom!

Two more equally ferocious auras burst forth from Lei Ding and Es beside her!

Everyone involuntarily held their breath, their expressions stiffening.

Some of the lower-tier ability-users even went pale, trembling uncontrollably.

It was the body's natural response, leaving them utterly unable to resist.

"This is the might of a Supreme Powerhouse!" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

This was merely an ordinary release of aura; if Aimos and the others did not suppress their presence at all,

then among those present, any ability-user below the seventh tier would likely have their body burst apart and die.

"Open!"

Aimos gave a sharp cry, and the power of the three Supreme Powerhouses poured simultaneously into the Void-Breaking Tower before them!

Hum—

The massive Void-Breaking Tower immediately began to tremble, and the dense spatial cracks surrounding it grew noticeably more numerous.

At the same time, at the base of the Void-Breaking Tower, a colossal gate over thirty meters tall and more than twenty meters wide swung open with a thunderous crash!

The interior of the gate was a sheet of white, making it impossible to see what lay within.

"The Void-Breaking Tower has been opened; you may enter now."

Aimos's voice rang out once more.

Compared to before, her voice carried a faint trace of weariness.

Clearly, opening the Void-Breaking Tower was no easy feat.

"Haha! Four years at last—the Void-Breaking Tower has opened again! I'll be the first one in!"

"Heh, no chance—I'm the first!"

The many powerhouses who had been waiting before the Void-Breaking Tower instantly went wild, charging one after another toward the great gate.

"Sister Shuang, we're going in."

Xu Jingming looked at Ling Shuang, offering a final farewell.

"Mm, once you two are inside, pay extra attention.

Word from Blue Star says people from the Tianming Sect have entered too, and more than one ninth-tier at that."

Ling Shuang said in a gentle, coaxing voice.

"Don't worry, with the spatial beast bone, if we really can't win we'll run."

Xu Jingming grinned, and Su Qingli beside him also spoke up:

"Spatial turbulence is just as dangerous. While you're training under Lord Heman, you need to be extra careful too."

"Understood."

Ling Shuang nodded, then looked at Su Qingli and said, half in jest:

"Qingli, then I'm leaving Jingming in your hands, alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm his teacher.

I won't let him come back missing any arms or legs—I'll bring him back completely intact."

Su Qingli said earnestly.

Although she, as his teacher, had actually never taught Xu Jingming anything.

But a teacher was still a teacher; the seniority was there, and it meant she had to look after this junior of hers, Xu Jingming, all the more.

"That's good then."

Ling Shuang nodded, her fair, pretty face thick with reluctance:

"Then you two go in first, don't let the others snatch away all the opportunities."

"Alright."

Xu Jingming stretched out his large hand and pulled Ling Shuang into his embrace.

After planting a kiss on her faintly blushing cheek, he unfurled his Thunder Dragon Wings and flew into the great gate together with Su Qingli.

"Jingming's gone, and I should begin my own cultivation now."

Watching the two vanish into the doorway of the Void-Breaking Tower, Ling Shuang finally withdrew her gaze, her eyes once again turning resolute.

With a flicker in space, her slender, voluptuous figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

After roughly another half a minute, the surrounding several hundred thousand people had all entered the Void-Breaking Tower, and the area around it instantly became empty.

"The spatial rifts around the Void-Breaking Tower have increased again."

In midair,

the Supreme Being Es frowned deeply as he gazed at the spatial rifts around the Void-Breaking Tower.

"It'll probably only be able to open two or three more times."

Emers, who had re-tied her black ribbon, nodded as well.

The Void-Breaking Tower had originally been something they had forcibly dragged out of the spatial turbulence into the Spark World; it had never fully fused with the Spark World.

The thin spatial rifts shrouding the area around the Void-Breaking Tower were the best proof of that.

And every time the Void-Breaking Tower was opened, the number of these spatial rifts would increase.

Eventually, when the spatial rifts reached their limit, the Void-Breaking Tower would break away from the Spark World and return to the spatial turbulence.

Therefore, every time they opened the Void-Breaking Tower, they were extremely cautious.

"This time, with the Blue Star people coming over, the floors beyond the sixth layer of the Spark World will all be unveiled.

As long as we can seize the opportunity of the final layer, it won't matter even if it breaks away from our Spark World."

Lei Ding's deep voice rang out, as domineering and forceful as ever.

"That's true."

Emers nodded slightly.

Apart from those seventh-tier and eighth-tier prodigies, quite a few ninth-tier powerhouses had also entered the Spark God Palace this time.

She had once used her Eye of Fate to divine these people.

But without exception, she could only divine their movements within the first six layers, unable to divine anything beyond the seventh layer.

In other words, as for what exactly would happen inside the Void-Breaking Tower this time, she herself had no certainty.

It was possible someone would charge all the way to the highest, thirteenth layer, and it was also possible no one would make it up at all.

Subconsciously... Emers thought of Xu Jingming, whose future she could not divine.

Clearly, Xu Jingming's strength was by no means the greatest among these people.

Yet she had a premonition that Xu Jingming might give her a pleasant surprise...
