Chapter 193: Myriad Heavens Tower!

There's only one option, basically no choice.

"Myriad Heavens Tower?"

Seeing this place name, Xiao Feng froze for a moment.

He wasn't hearing this place name for the first time; back when he was doing Daphne's quest, he had already heard of this place.

Myriad Heavens Tower—the trial ground for myriad heavens' beings, with a total of 9999 floors; it's said the Temple Archbishop can only reach around the 100th floor.

Even the Main God can at most reach 1000 floors!

Legend has it that this trial ground was created by the Creator God; it's extremely mysterious, has no fixed location, and cannot be found at all.

Only when someone's fate arrives will they enter it and get a chance to be tempered.

For each floor of Myriad Heavens Tower cleared, one receives a reward; the higher the floor, the richer the reward!

"Resurrection!"

Xiao Feng hesitated not, immediately choosing to resurrect in Myriad Heavens Tower.

This is a rare opportunity! If missed, let alone trial rewards, it's uncertain whether one can even find a place to get up.

As the command fell, his body vanished into darkness.

A glimmer of light appeared before him, and he finally stood up again.

"Is this Myriad Heavens Tower?"

Before him lay a lush green expanse; ahead stood a door on the ground, bearing the three characters "Myriad Heavens Tower," with light swirling at its center like a teleportation gate.

Around him, however, there was nothing—no sign of a tower's form, just an empty green field.

Clearly, Myriad Heavens Tower is not a physical entity but a special space beyond the teleportation gate.

Xiao Feng opened the system map to check his position.

The map showed his position still as "Unknown Land," outside the fixed map range.

He took out a Return Town Scroll to try using it.

This time it worked; the scroll read smoothly, and once the reading finished, he could return to the nearest main city.

But having finally encountered the legendary Myriad Heavens Tower, Xiao Feng didn't want to go back empty-handed!

"Daphne said one can encounter the Divine Dew Sweet Spring on the 84th floor. Although I don't know what it's for, at least let's go see it."

Xiao Feng didn't know how many floors he could clear.

But he felt he was at least a high-output cheat, with attack power far surpassing the Temple Archbishop's and strong survivability.

Even the Moon Archbishop can clear 100 floors; he ought to be able to do even more!

Xiao Feng walked toward the teleportation gate and stepped inside.

【Ding~Enter Myriad Heavens Tower?】

【Detected that this is your first entry into this space; you may attempt a challenge unconditionally. Thereafter, each challenge requires purchasing a ticket for 100 million gold coins!】

The system popped up two prompts.

Upon hearing the ticket price was as high as "100 million gold coins," Xiao Feng was instantly shocked speechless.

But after thinking, since it's his first visit and no ticket is required, it didn't matter.

So he replied: "Confirm."

Then the light before him shifted; the bluish-green grass disappeared, and he had entered Myriad Heavens Tower's challenge space.

Looking closely, he found himself in the center of an arena-like field, the surrounding stands empty, with not a single spectator.

Instead, from a nearby passage came the roars of beasts.

【Challenger: Xiao Feng.】

【Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxx.】

【Challenge Count: 1st.】

【Current Floor: 0001.】

【Failure Count: 0.】

A string of information floated onto the wall at the edge of the arena.

Immediately after, Xiao Feng heard a cold mechanical voice.

"Myriad Heavens Tower Floor 0001 Challenge: Defeat a Level 10 Epic Monster within one minute."

"That simple?" Xiao Feng thought, "Isn't this something you could KO with a sneeze?"

The iron bars of the participant passage opened.

A tiger charged out, letting out a fierce roar.

【Black Stripe Ferocious Tiger (Epic Leader)】

Level: 10

HP: 10500/10500

This is just a strengthened version of a novice village boss.

"Sure enough, it's pathetically weak."

Xiao Feng didn't even bother to use a skill; with a thought, he condensed a water arrow out of thin air, which whooshed forth.

Pfft!

His self‑created Water Arrow Technique struck the monster; the Black Stripe Ferocious Tiger died on the spot, taking over 2.4 million damage.

"Congratulations on clearing Floor 0001!"

"You earned 1 challenge point!"

"You obtained one piece of Level 10 Epic Equipment!"

A pleasant voice reminded.

Xiao Feng's backpack now had an extra piece of junk equipment, and then he began the second layer challenge.

「The Heavenly Tower's 0002nd layer challenge: Defeat a level‑20 Epic Monster within one minute. 」

This test was still very simple; for Xiao Feng it was just playing house.

However, compared to the first layer, the increase in difficulty was still quite noticeable.

The iron fence opened, and a level‑20 Epic Monster boss charged out.

Xiao Feng still used a Water Arrow Technique and instantly killed it.

「Congratulations on passing the 0002nd layer challenge! 」

「You earned 2 challenge points! 」

「You obtained one piece of level‑20 Epic Equipment! 」

Xiao Feng frowned and said: 「Only low‑level gear and point rewards—is this what 100 million tickets bought? That's too stingy! 」

The Heavenly Tower didn't answer him, merely continuing mechanically: 「The Heavenly Tower's 0003rd layer challenge: Defeat a level‑30 Epic Monster within one minute. 」

The third‑layer challenge began, and a level‑30 Epic Monster charged out.

Watching the monster rush over, Xiao Feng thought: 「The rewards are a bit meager, but if this pattern continues, by layer 30 won't I have to fight a level‑300 Epic Monster? 」

Third layer, fourth layer, fifth layer……

He instantly killed the monsters that kept rushing out of the beast pen.

On the sixth layer, he had expected a level‑60 Epic Monster to charge out.

But this time the test had changed!

「The Heavenly Tower's 0006th layer challenge: Survive one minute under the attacks of a level‑50 Epic Monster. 」

「Notice: During the defense checkpoint challenge, you may not use offensive skills to counterattack, or you will be deemed a failure! 」

Afterward, a level‑50 Epic Beast still charged out.

Xiao Feng pursed his lips: 「Can't counterattack? 」

It's just that he can't counterattack; it doesn't mean he can't use skills.

He casually put on an Earth Element Shield for himself, then stood in place, letting the monster bite at him.

A level‑50 Epic Monster's attack is only about a thousand points, lower than his defense points; even standing still and taking hits, the damage is quite limited.

After one minute, the system notified him that he had cleared the stage, earning him 6 points and a restorative potion.

「The Heavenly Tower's 0007th layer challenge: Survive one minute under the attacks of two level‑50 Epic Monsters. 」

The difficulty of layer 7 increased a bit more, with the number of monsters rising to two.

Although the difficulty doubled, in Xiao Feng's eyes it was still negligible.

Soon after, the countdown ended and he passed again.

「The Heavenly Tower's 0008th layer challenge: Survive one minute under the attacks of three level‑50 Epic Monsters. 」

Layer 8 was still a defense checkpoint, the content hardly different, only the monster count doubled again.

Three level‑50 Epic Monsters charged out, lunging at Xiao Feng with a flurry of bites and strikes.

After a minute, not even his shield was broken, and finally the system refreshed and they disappeared.

Layer 9: the number of monsters became five.

Layer 10: the number of monsters became ten.

By now there was actually some difficulty; ten level‑50 Epic Monsters—according to the strength of an ordinary player, only the very top tier could handle them.

「Congratulations on passing the 0010th layer challenge! 」

「You earned 10 challenge points! 」

「You obtained one piece of level‑50 Legendary Equipment! 」

The Heavenly Tower's challenge rewards were distributed.

Afterward, the test changed again, reverting to an attack checkpoint.

「The Heavenly Tower's 0011th layer challenge: Defeat a level‑60 Epic Monster within one minute. 」

Xiao Feng gave a slight nod, already having a rough grasp of the Heavenly Tower's challenge rules.

Five layers of attack challenges, five layers of defense challenges.

The former increases the level each stage, while the latter increases the number.

At this rate, adding 50 levels every ten layers, after clearing layer 40 the monsters will be level 200 and above.

「The challenge format should change later, otherwise if it keeps stacking, by layer 100 won't we be facing several hundred levels? 」 Xiao Feng thought to himself.
