Chapter 190: Clearing the Heavenly Ranking in One Hour, Shocking Magic City!

The moment Ye Bai stepped into the fortieth floor, a mechanical voice rang out beside his ears!

His expectations had come true!

Because his total time for clearing the previous thirty-some floors had been very short.

Therefore, he had triggered the Nightmare Difficulty, which no one from Magic City had ever triggered, and which only a small number of powerhouses from other cities who had stepped directly onto the Heavenly Ranking in one go had ever triggered!

Not only could he skip twenty floors after clearing it, but the rewards he would receive would also be increased by a hundred times over the base amount!

"Swish!" Ye Bai's eyes lit up instantly.

He felt that he had searched high and low for something, only to find it without any effort!

"This is a half-step Sixth Grade Alien Beast?"

"And it is even of the Beast Race King Bloodline..."

As the scene of the thirty-ninth floor underwent a transformation.

It eventually formed an arena the size of a football field.

An Alien Beast, dozens of meters long and over ten meters tall, appeared in the center, crouching on the ground.

Ye Bai's eyes showed a new change.

Lie Kong Long!

Beast Race King Bloodline!

It not only possessed terrifying physical constitution but also the ability to tear through space, allowing for short-range spatial teleportation; its attacks were even imbued with the power of space, and even a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse would be either dead or crippled if they took one attack head-on!

Furthermore, the Lie Kong Long also possessed formidable Mental Power.

If an ordinary Evil Spirit Race of the same realm encountered a Lie Kong Long, the outcome would only be that after their attacks merely scratched the surface, they would be instantly killed by a single claw!

It is no exaggeration to say that the simulated Alien Beast before him could absolutely be called a rare opponent for anyone below the Sixth Grade!

It possessed even more powerful strength than the Tongbi Ape that had nearly killed Dantai Yanran and the other instructors during the first Ranking Tournament!

Although clearing this floor now appeared to require only killing this one Alien Beast, the difficulty was more than a hundred times greater than a normal thirty-ninth floor.

However, there was not a hint of shock in Ye Bai's eyes!

Instead, there was excitement and thrill!

Although he possessed the God-Slaying Spear and had comprehended the Destruction Spear Intent to over 70% progress, Ye Bai knew his strength was not what it used to be and was much stronger than during the Ladder Tournament.

But he was not clear on exactly how strong he was.

He only felt that no matter how much Shangguan Yijian had changed, it was not as great as his own change.

The appearance of the Lie Kong Long gave him the opportunity to verify his current combat power!

"Roar!" The Lie Kong Long fully materialized the next moment.

The moment its pair of copper-bell-like scarlet eyes opened, it let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar.

"Swish, swish!" Along with the dragon roar, one after another, space blades that distorted space came attacking.

The Lie Kong Long had already swung its dragon claws.

"Well come!" Ye Bai's eyes lit up even more.

In an instant, he took a step forward, his Qi and Blood power surged into the God-Slaying Spear, and the Destruction Spear Intent covered it simultaneously; without dodging or evading, he thrust his spear out!

"Boom, boom!" A heaven-shaking roar exploded.

The place where Ye Bai stood was kicked up into a sky full of dust by the terrifying collision force.

Although it was a simulated Alien Beast, it was clearly different from the low-grade Alien Beasts before it; a clear look of contempt flashed within the Lie Kong Long's dragon eyes.

It was as if it were saying, where did this stupid human come from, daring to not dodge or evade when facing an attack from this dragon that could even tear space apart?

It's over now, the War Soldier must have been destroyed instantly, and the person along with it must have been shredded into meat paste by the space.

"Swish!" The next second, Ye Bai charged out!

Not only was there no sign of breakage on the Blood Armor on his body.

The divine light on the God-Slaying Spear remained!

It was just that the God-Slaying Spear could naturally withstand the shredding of space.

The moment the Destruction Spear Intent met the space blades, it had already destroyed the space blades!

"Execution of Life!" Following that, before the person arrived, the God-Slaying Spear arrived first!

"Boom!" A heaven-shaking roar sounded.

At the critical moment, the Lie Kong Long used spatial displacement to move away.

Its dragon eyes looked at the bottomless pit below, carrying a look of shock.

It not only could not understand how Ye Bai had blocked its attack, but it also could not understand why a mere Fifth Grade Mid-Stage human could unleash such a terrifying attack.

However, the Lie Kong Long was shocked, but Ye Bai was not.

"Moon-Breaking!" In the next instant, Ye Bai had already appeared above the God-Slaying Spear, stepped on it with one foot, and the long spear soared into the air as he grabbed it.

Following that, another Moon-Breaking spear strike!

A spear strike fast to the extreme!

"Puchi!" This spear strike left a hideous wound on the Lie Kong Long, and dragon blood spilled across the sky!

Although this also completely enraged the Lie Kong Long.

The next instant, the Lie Kong Long appeared at the very edge of the space inside the Tongtian Tower, and then, accompanied by a dragon roar, dense space blades swept over.

At the same time, fluctuations of Mental Power were also permeating the air.

"Strong enough!" Ye Bai let out another loud laugh!

As his Mental Power surged to neutralize the Lie Kong Long's Mental Power attack, Execution of Life was unleashed again!

The moment he broke through the dense space blade attack, his figure followed closely behind the God-Slaying Spear, arriving in front of the Lie Kong Long.

He thrust out with the move from the Flowing Cloud Spear Technique after it reached Major Achievement: Wind-Sweeping Flowing Clouds!

Spear strike after spear strike!

Ye Bai switched between three sets of spear techniques without pause, his entire person transforming into a blood-red shadow!

The beast body of the Lie Kong Long was also teleporting incessantly! During this, it was accompanied by dense attacks of space blades!

Although the latter was at the Half-step Sixth Grade realm and possessed the Beast Race King Bloodline.

Yet, if one looked closely, one could see that Ye Bai had been suppressing the Lie Kong Long the entire time!

Dragon blood spilled out every now and then!

Only a few times, because the space blades were too dense and Ye Bai had gotten close to the Lie Kong Long, the latter swept its dragon tail, pinning Ye Bai down.

Only then was blood drawn from Ye Bai by a blade!

But even as intense pain flooded Ye Bai's mind, the hand gripping the spear did not tremble in the slightest.

Only a faster spear strike, thrust out!

This battle ultimately lasted for half an hour.

And by now, Ye Bai was covered in wounds.

His clothes had been soaked by blood into a blood-red color!

His aura, compared to half an hour ago, had also withered significantly.

Yet, looking at the Lie Kong Long now.

Its dragon body, dozens of meters long, was already covered in wounds!

All of them were hideous wounds half a meter deep and several meters wide!

Left behind by the Destruction Spear Intent combined with the God-Slaying Spear!

The Lie Kong Long's only remaining dragon eye was filled with intense unwillingness and terror!

Although it was a simulation, it was thinking at this moment that if Ye Bai were allowed to live, the Three Great Alien Races would have one more great enemy!

"Roar!" It also unleashed its final attack.

Dozens of blood holes erupted simultaneously on its massive dragon body, traded for a windmill-style spatial attack that seemed to spin endlessly and spanned dozens of meters.

"Puchi!" The result, however, was Ye Bai's next Execution of Life spear strike, which not only shattered the Lie Kong Long's final attack but also plunged directly into the top of the Lie Kong Long's head, piercing it through and through!

Half-step Sixth Grade Alien Beast, dead!

And what made the Lie Kong Long most desperate.

Was that in the last second before its consciousness dissipated, it saw Ye Bai's image turn aged.

Then, in an instant, he became young again, and at the same time, his injuries disappeared.

Only the bloodstains on his clothes symbolized that Ye Bai had just experienced a great battle...

Before stepping into the thirty-ninth floor, Ye Bai had just exploited a bug once.

When the battle ended, he happened to be able to exploit a bug again!

"Destruction Spear Intent, so strong!"

Ye Bai naturally did not care about the Lie Kong Long's gaze; he only sighed with emotion after the battle had completely ended!

The reason he was able to suppress the Lie Kong Long was that the Destruction Spear Intent could go head-to-head with the Lie Kong Long's spatial attacks!

His Martial Dao Will was no worse than the power of space, which sounded so high-end!

He also gained a concrete understanding of his current strength.

As long as he didn't encounter the Beast Race King Bloodline, or the likes of a Succubus or Evil Spirit Royal Clan.

He could easily kill normal alien races below the Sixth Grade!

For most of the Human Race, being able to deal with ordinary alien races of the same rank was already the limit.

This also meant that he could easily defeat ninety-nine percent of martial artists below the Sixth Grade!

Because he understood the principle that there is always someone better and a sky beyond the sky, Ye Bai dared not say he was invincible below the Sixth Grade now.

"To kill Shangguan Yijian, it is enough!"

The killing intent in Ye Bai's heart grew increasingly intense!

Next was to claim the rewards.

"Please choose your reward!"

"1: Flood-grade Martial Skill x1"

"2: Spirit-Gathering Pill x300"

"3: Flood-tier Battle Soldier x1"

Because the rewards were multiplied by a hundred, although this reward was also random, it gave Ye Bai three choices.

"Good fellow..."

Ye Bai saw the rewards clearly, and his eyes lit up instantly.

He finally felt that this trip to the Tongtian Tower was not a loss, but even a huge profit!

Martial skills and battle soldiers were initially graded Heaven, Mysterious, Earth, and Yellow, corresponding to First Grade to Fourth Grade martial artists.

After the Heaven Tier, there were Universe, Flood, and Desolation, corresponding to Fifth Grade martial artists up to the current human limit of the Eighth Grade.

Among the three rewards, the Flood-grade Martial Skill had the lowest value, but even a Lower Grade one cost 500 Merit Points! A Top Grade one cost one thousand Merit Points!

The Spirit-Gathering Pill was a product of the upgraded Condensing Qi Pill, which even Middle Three Grades martial artists could only afford to use after accumulating for a period of time.

Consuming one could increase Qi and Blood by a hundred points within six hours when combined with cultivation.

It was not traded using Great Xia Currency!

A single pill cost 40 Merit Points!

The second reward was worth 1200 Merit Points!

"I choose the Flood-tier Battle Soldier!"

Ye Bai naturally chose the third reward.

Not only because the Flood-tier Battle Soldier had the highest value, as even a Lower Grade one cost over five thousand Merit Points.

But more importantly, because the God-Slaying Spear could still be upgraded!

He was just worrying about not having the money to buy a Battle Soldier right now!

And with the rewards collected, it meant that Ye Bai had officially cleared the fortieth floor of Nightmare Difficulty!

The next floor was the sixtieth floor of Tongtian Tower!

One could ascend the Hidden Dragon Ranking!

"Shangguan Yijian, you, should die..."

He stepped into the passageway to the next floor!

At the same moment Ye Bai stepped into the sixtieth floor.

Outside Tongtian Tower!

"It moved, it moved!"

"Ye Bai's floor number has finally moved!"

The crowd of onlookers, who had waited for a few more minutes, were the first to notice the change in Ye Bai's information.

"Ye Bai stayed on the thirty-ninth floor for half an hour; adding the time before that, he challenged his way from the first floor to the fortieth in about forty minutes!"

"Ye Bai still has some substance!"

"Even if he used a Martial Technique with huge side effects, he is indeed much faster than Shangguan Yijian!"

"Perhaps, there is really hope for him to ascend the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

After some analysis, they once again began to admire that youth.

"Damn it! Just a little bit more!"

Shangguan Yijian, meanwhile, had a ferocious look appear on his face again.

Thinking that for Ye Bai to ascend the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he had to clear the fifty-fifth floor, where his Copy was stationed, his expression looked much better.

"Ye Bai, very soon you will know just how powerful the strength of Martial Dao Will is!"

Yet it was at this moment...

"Th-that, am I seeing things?"

"Shouldn't Ye Bai be on the fortieth floor after clearing the thirty-ninth?

H-how did he jump to the sixtieth floor..."

Someone noticed something was wrong!
