Chapter 523: The Finals Begin

As Lin Chen's voice fell, the originally gray space changed greatly this time.

The gray mist dissipated, revealing all four sides of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Only now did Lin Chen confirm that he was really in the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

【Actual combat begins. This floor is one of the top hundred strongest in the third stage of the Innate Realm in the history of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao!】

The sound of the Martial Way Seal rang out, and the next moment, an arena appeared in front of Lin Chen, with a hundred figures manifesting above it.

There were burly giants covered in dragon scales, green-shirted swordsmen with sword intent soaring to the sky, giant shadows with towering flames, uninhibited blade-wielders carrying long blades on their shoulders... although they were all at the third stage of the Innate Realm, each emitted a unique aura—these were the peerless heaven-gifted geniuses of the third stage of the Innate Realm since the founding of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao!

"Is it the top hundred selected by the Divine Seal itself?"

Lin Chen thought of Silver Moon's guess. The Heaven-Reaching Tower was evolved from the Divine Seal, and the Divine Seal represented the luck of the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, and it wasn't just as simple as luck.

The Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao had existed for tens of thousands of years. Being able to rank in the top hundred in tens of thousands of years, each one was absolutely a peerless heaven-gifted genius of their era.

Three breaths later, Lin Chen heard the sound of blade ringing, and his whole body also instantly had goosebumps.

A sky-high chill radiated from the bottom of his heart. The next moment, he saw that among the hundred figures, the others all dissipated, leaving only the uninhibited blade-wielder carrying a long blade on his shoulder.

So strong!

Before even getting on the arena, Lin Chen felt huge pressure.

But even so, Lin Chen still flashed his figure and shot toward the arena.

And the moment his figure landed, his eyes were filled with a blade light. He didn't even see how the other party made a move, and a sharp pain came from his chest. If it weren't for the fact that his Immortal Body had already reached the third stage at this moment, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to take this move.

However, before Lin Chen could counterattack, the second blade light filled his eyes again.

The second, the third...

After three blades, Lin Chen found that he had already appeared below the arena, his whole body soaked in sweat, while the blade-wielder on the arena had restored the posture of carrying the blade on his shoulder, as if he had never made a move.

Lost!

This was the first time Lin Chen faced a martial artist of the same realm and lost without even having a chance to fight back.

If it weren't for the Heaven-Reaching Tower here, and the Divine Seal could avoid injury with some kind of supernatural power, I'm afraid he would already be a corpse at this moment.

Perfect-level blade will!

Flawless blade technique!

This was the strength of the top hundred of the third stage of the Innate Realm in the tens of thousands of years of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao.

Lin Chen's confidence, which had soared because of his strength breakthrough, was instantly extinguished like being splashed with a basin of cold water at this moment.

Relying on his Immortal Body, relying on his powerful spiritual soul, Lin Chen had confidence in his heart that even if he faced a martial artist of the fourth stage of the Innate Realm, he would have the strength to fight.

But this battle just now made the arrogant emotions in his heart completely collapse.

Being able to fight across realms didn't count for much. These hundred seniors could probably do it easily. The path of martial arts... let alone realms, even within the same realm, he was still far from reaching true invincibility.

【Breaking into the tower failed. Currently at the thirtieth floor, temporarily ranked first on the Heaven-Reaching List. After reaching one hundred people, rewards will be given based on ranking!】

In his ear, the voice of the Martial Way Seal came. The next moment, Lin Chen saw a light circle appear under his feet. This was the light circle for leaving.

Lin Chen stared at the blade-wielder on the arena for a few breaths, and finally stepped into the light circle.

In front of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, when a light pillar fell on the circular altar, all the martial artists on the square didn't look at the circular altar, but looked toward the top of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

The Heaven-Reaching List hung down.

【Lin Chen: Broke into the tower for thirty floors】

【Lü Zejia: Broke into the tower for ten floors】

【Zuo Chuan: Broke into the tower for six floors】

When they saw Lin Chen's name at the very top of the list, and the number of floors broken into, the scene fell into silence instantly.

Those ordinary martial artists at the third stage of the Innate Realm were shocked and unbelievable, while those anonymous black-robed people, the eyes under the black robes, were staring dead at the list at this moment.

Thirty floors!

This meant that Lin Chen's physical body and spiritual soul had reached the limit of the third stage of the Innate Realm, and plus the unknown ten floors behind, Lin Chen had at least one other aspect that had also reached the limit.

In two years, how did he do it?

Looking at the silence on the scene, Lin Chen swept his gaze toward Silver Moon's position, nodded slightly, and then cupped his hands toward the senior brothers of the Canglan Sect below: "Senior brothers, junior brother is withdrawing first."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the martial artists of the Canglan Sect finally woke up from the shock.

"Junior... Lin Lin Shidi Lin, withdraw if you have something to do."

After Lin Chen's figure disappeared in front of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the moment Lin Chen's figure disappeared, the entire square burst into an uproar.

"Thirty floors, this... I'm afraid the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao is going to produce a peerless heaven-gifted genius."

"It's only been two years in total. If Lin Chen is given enough time to grow, I'm afraid that in less than twenty years, will there still be anyone below the Wanxiang Realm who can be Lin Chen's opponent?"

Breaking into the Heaven-Reaching Tower for the first time and reaching thirty floors, Lin Chen's result overturned everyone's imagination. This was a terrifying number that no one dared to think about.

"Report the good news, I want to report the good news to the sect!"

Xu Xia was extremely excited, and this time no one on the scene felt that Xu Xia was doing wrong. Not only did the Canglan Sect martial artists want to report the good news, but they themselves were also urgently wanting to leave here to inform their sects and the people around them of this shocking result.

The Bahuang Sect martial artists, their expressions were no longer uncomfortable at this moment, their mouths were wide open, and fear was revealed in their eyes...

When the gap was even larger than they had imagined, the discomfort was gone, and there was more fear...

Li family guest courtyard.

The young man sitting in the courtyard also had a look of surprise on his face.

"Actually passed thirty floors..."

The young man's expression changed uncertainly. If Lin Chen had only passed ten or even twenty floors, he wouldn't have changed his original decision.

But thirty floors...

"So this Lin Chen is the variable in the hexagram?"

This was the first time the young man hesitated. One of his decisions might very well determine the rise and fall of the Qianji Sect in the future.

"If heaven changes, follow the natural course."

Finally, the young man whispered, and then his figure disappeared in place, along with the wine on the table, as if no one had ever appeared in the entire courtyard.

Canglan Sect!

At this moment, the entire sect was immersed in excitement, and countless inner disciples were cheering, but in the main hall, it fell into silence instead.

Lin Chen's potential was higher than anyone present had guessed.

"Sect Master, the most important thing now is Lin Chen's safety."

Du Du Xiaofeng, as Lin Chen's master, had no excitement on his face, but more anxiety and worry.

The Bahuang Sect and the Canglan Sect were at war. With the deterrence of the Supreme Elder going to the Bahuang Sect back then, the Bahuang Sect didn't dare to assassinate their Canglan Sect disciples anymore. Everyone would decide the outcome on the battlefield. As for the Yanluo Hall, it had already been almost wiped out by their Canglan Sect. ===== CHAPTER 524 =====
