Chapter 240

Could it be that in this batch, there is truly a participant capable of breaking through to the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower?

In any given year, this would absolutely be a sensational headline. Yet, the moment they realized the person in question was not a Magic Card Master from their own Northern Region, many could not help but feel depressed.

Of course, the Magic Card Masters from the Southern and Western Regions wore expressions of those watching a show; after all, their participation in the Heaven-Reaching Tower was merely for the sake of being involved, and this was, after all, the Northern Region's territory.

But to see someone from their own territory suppressed by an outsider—such a delightful turn of events was naturally something the participants of the two great regions were happy to see.

……

"I didn't expect such an unexpected harvest this time." At the very front of the crowd, the expressions of Li Wei and Tan Huan had already turned solemn. Even the dullest person could guess Lu Li's current situation.

Not to mention that both were big shots of the Undying Realm; the word "stupid" could not be applied to them.

"It's a pity we have no way to probe the situation inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower; otherwise, we would know exactly which floor Lu Li is currently conquering." Tan Huan looked regretful. Compared to the others, this Lord of Frost City was quite broad-minded.

Although Lu Li was not a Magic Card Master from the Northern Region, he was essentially a citizen of the Ancient Kingdom, a Magic Card Master of the Ancient Kingdom.

This meant that as long as Lu Li could fully grow, the future of the Ancient Kingdom would gain one more top-tier powerhouse.

For the Ancient Kingdom, this was undoubtedly a good thing!

"If Lu Li can conquer floors beyond the ninety-fifth, then perhaps in the future, he will have more opportunities than us to take a step forward and explore the mysteries of immortality," Li Wei's eyes were filled with gravity.

Although the essence of the Heaven-Reaching Tower was not to test a Magic Card Master's potential and talent, after integrating big data over so many years, they were still able to derive a comprehensive model based on the floors each person conquered and their subsequent growth performance.

Floors below ninety need not be mentioned, but as long as one successfully passes the ninetieth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, that Magic Card Master has a sixty percent probability of ascending to the Undying Realm in the future!

Sixty percent might not seem high, just barely over half, but the vast majority of Magic Card Masters don't even have a ten percent, or even five percent, probability of ascending to the Undying Realm, let alone sixty percent!

And as the only participant in this Northern Region batch to break into the ninetieth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, although Ku Zimo did not succeed in conquering it, his probability of ascending to the Undying Realm had already far exceeded others.

That was why he was so highly regarded by Li Wei and Tan Huan.

From the ninetieth floor onwards, the difficulty of conquering each subsequent floor would increase significantly compared to the previous ones.

Even, when reaching the ninety-fifth floor, this would be another watershed!

As long as one passes the ninety-fifth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, that Magic Card Master will inevitably be able to step into the Undying Realm once they grow up! There is even a significant probability of stepping into the Undying Realm!

Immortality is already the level of the two Court Lords of the Central Court and the four Regional Lords of the four great regions! Even Li Wei and Tan Huan themselves did not conquer the ninety-fifth floor back in their day.

449, The Final Killing Move

Although it is not to say that one cannot ascend to immortality without conquering the ninety-fifth floor and beyond, after all, no one knows what kind of fortuitous encounters a Magic Card Master might have in their lifetime.

But it is an indisputable fact that Li Wei and Tan Huan have indeed not stepped into the Undying Realm to this day.

"If we use Ku Zimo as a reference, then Lu Li indeed has a high probability of hovering around the ninety-fifth floor," hearing Li Wei's words, Tan Huan nodded: "Perhaps in a little while, we will know the result."

As for whether it was possible for Lu Li to conquer the one-hundredth floor, neither Li Wei nor Tan Huan had even thought in that direction.

The ninetieth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower is a watershed, the ninety-fifth floor is another, and the one-hundredth floor is likewise a watershed.

Moreover, the difficulty of the one-hundredth floor watershed far exceeds the previous ninety-nine floors; the cumulative difficulty of the first ninety-nine floors could not possibly surpass the one-hundredth!

This point is absolute!

The Titan Sanctuary and the Heaven-Reaching Tower have existed for an extremely long time, and in such a long time, only one person has achieved the feat of conquering the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, and that is the Supreme.

And this achievement of the Supreme conquering the entire Heaven-Reaching Tower happened a very long time ago, even before Li Wei and Tan Huan became Magic Card Masters.

Since the Supreme, no Magic Card Master has successfully conquered the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Even the current Regional Lords of the four great regions of the Ancient Kingdom, as well as the two Court Lords of the Central Court, did not achieve this step back then.

Basically, these Undying Realm big shots who are now famous and guard a region only reached the ninety-seventh or ninety-eighth floor back then; the better ones reached the ninety-ninth floor, such as the Night Queen.

But the Night Queen is an original Magic Card creator, and her strength cannot be viewed through the eyes of a conventional Magic Card Master.

However, even an original Magic Card creator like the Night Queen did not conquer the ninety-ninth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower in the end, but instead perished together with the opponent on the ninety-ninth floor. One can imagine how despairing the difficulty of the final one-hundredth floor of this Heaven-Reaching Tower must be!

At the very least, that is not a weight that normal Kings and Emperors can bear.

Therefore, although Lu Li's performance exceeded their expectations, neither Li Wei nor Tan Huan thought in that direction.

Or rather, such a thought had appeared in their minds, and subconsciously, they also hoped to see with their own eyes in their lifetime a Magic Card Master capable of conquering the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, but this thought was only a flash and was instantly ignored by them.

After all, so many years have passed, and only one Supreme has emerged; the number is even rarer than Court Lords and Regional Lords.

Lu Li, I'm afraid, has no way to reach the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

……

"Sure enough, looking at it now, it looks more like the Titan Giant in memory!" Seeing the Titan standing a hundred meters tall after revealing its giant body, Lu Li's expression did not change much, even showing an expression of "this is more like it."

After all, the Titan's previous size was at most two to three meters tall, which is vastly different from the giant race in the records.

Or rather, this current form is the original appearance of the Titan.

"However, ten-star mythic, this is already the strongest opponent I have encountered besides Daji, Bao Si, and others." While speaking, Lu Li controlled the Emperor Armor to take a step forward, dodging the attack launched by the Titan.

The strong gale blew over, sweeping across the Emperor Armor, but it did not cause much impact, not even managing to shake the Emperor Armor.

Roar!

Transforming into the giant form, the Titan's combat power soared dramatically, crossing from the original ten-star epic, bypassing legendary, and directly skyrocketing to the mythic level! This is already the limit of the ten-star level!

But at the same time, the Titan seemed to have become less intelligent, not continuing to launch long-range attacks, but choosing to engage in close-quarters combat with Lu Li again.

Of course, there are indeed not many people who would foolishly rush up to throw their lives away by engaging in close-quarters combat with a hundred-meter-tall Titan.

Taking advantage of the incoming gale, the Emperor Armor flew directly into the air.

Even without summoning the Emperor Horse, the Emperor Armor also possessed the ability to fly, and its figure was very agile.

Dodging the Titan's attack, Lu Li also waved the Aurora Sword in his hand, and sword qi light blades continuously slashed at the Titan, causing considerable damage to its body.

Although it had unfolded its giant body and its strength had been greatly improved, having not touched the Emperor Armor for such a long time, and even feeling faint pain from the Emperor Armor's sword qi light blades, the Titan's brain, which was not very smart to begin with, experienced a brief moment of clarity at this moment.

Storm Summoner!

Under the Titan's summoning, endless pressure surged again on the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, but this time, what the Titan summoned was not lightning, but an endless storm.

In an instant, strong winds raged on the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, and tornadoes connecting heaven and earth manifested from nothingness, emerging from the void one after another.

Even the Emperor Armor, in such endless gale, had its flying figure affected and hindered to a certain extent.

Summon Lightning!

After calling forth a violent storm that seemed capable of blowing away all things, the Titan summoned lightning once again. This time, with the blessing of the gale, the Lightning Prison almost took shape in an instant!

Drive!

The final skill, the wind and thunder brought by the Titan through the two skills of Summon Lightning and Storm Summoner, fused together at this moment, and even the aura fused closely, as if it were a whole. The entire one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower instantly turned into a thunder and storm purgatory.

Compared to a separate Lightning Prison or hurricane, the fused Thunder and Storm Purgatory had its power directly increased by several levels, even faintly bringing a hint of world-destruction.

If it weren't limited to the range of the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, but used in the outside world, I'm afraid the entire Titan Sanctuary would be covered by this Thunder and Storm Purgatory, truly achieving an indiscriminate, dead-angle-free coverage attack!

Moreover, even top-tier nine-star high-sequence Magic Card spirits, fierce beasts, or Emperor Realm Magic Card Masters would have no way to withstand a single strike of this Thunder and Storm Purgatory; it would truly scatter your ashes.

"Thunder and Storm Purgatory, the strongest strike possessed by the Titan after transforming into a giant, is enough to instantly kill any nine-star opponent or severely injure a ten-star opponent!" Even though the power of the Thunder and Storm Purgatory summoned by the Titan this time was several times more terrifying than the Lightning Prison, the location where the black shadow was remained a pure land, and it was also the only pure land on the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

450, Eleven Stars! Combat Upgrade: Ultimate Emperor Armor!

"Even that one back then spent quite a bit of time to successfully endure the Titan's Thunder and Storm Purgatory, and successfully counter-killed when the Titan was exhausted," looking at the Thunder and Storm Purgatory, memories from a long time ago flashed through the black shadow's mind: "If it were you, what method would you use to deal with it?"

Before Lu Li, there was only one Magic Card Master who successfully stepped into the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, and that was the later Supreme!

The opponent was also the only Magic Card Master to step into the one-hundredth floor in all the years the Titan Sanctuary and the Heaven-Reaching Tower have existed! And in the end, they even passed the test of the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Therefore, even though countless years and time have passed again, the black shadow still has an extremely deep impression and memory of that Magic Card Master back then.

Peerless and brilliant; even in the eyes of the black shadow, the opponent was absolutely worthy of these four words.

And so many years have passed, the black shadow also believes that the peerless Magic Card Master back then must have already achieved higher accomplishments.

Wanting to let such a person fall was not an easy thing to begin with!

Of course, even though the opponent was peerless, when facing the Titan's Thunder and Storm Purgatory back then, the Supreme ultimately chose to endure it head-on, and only successfully achieved a decisive kill at the very last moment.

The Supreme of that year had not yet grown up, nor did they have the means that crown the era now. Compared to Lu Li, the only advantage the opponent had was possessing the strength of the Emperor Realm, and not like Lu Li, who until now, is still just a King.

Yes, just a King, not an Emperor!

Although the difficulty of the Heaven-Reaching Tower's assessment will be adjusted according to the strength of the examinee, this only applies to the first ninety-nine floors.

When reaching the one-hundredth floor, whether King or Emperor, what one ultimately has to face is this Titan before them!

It's just that, for so many years, only the Supreme has come to the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, so only she knows this secret.

Others, including the presiding Tan Huan, as well as big shots like Li Wei of the Undying Realm, are not aware that the rules of the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower have changed.

Because of this, the black shadow is very curious in their heart about how Lu Li will deal with the Titan's Thunder and Storm Purgatory.

But very quickly, Lu Li gave the answer.

And after seeing Lu Li's choice, even the black shadow could not help but widen their eyes, their mouth hanging open wide enough to stuff a whole sausage.

……

"A bit troublesome!" Slashing out several sword qi light blades to knock away the descending storm thunder, Lu Li turned the wheel on the Emperor Armor's belt again: "Since that's the case, then I'll solve you in one go!"

Combat Upgrade!

Ultimate Emperor Armor!
