Chapter 455: Venturing Into the Tower to Seek the Treasure Pearl

There may be greater challenges and dangers behind this door.

Su Liyan gave a wary warning.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his mind completely calm.

No matter what happens, we can face it together.

Let's open this door and uncover the true secret of the Vast Tower!

They reached out and pushed open the heavy, ancient wooden door.

Faint light leaked from behind the door, flickering in the darkness. Lu Yuan and Su Liyan entered the Vast Tower together, slowly climbing the spacious, ancient stairs, preparing to continue searching for clues to the World Pearl.

With each step they took, they felt an increasingly powerful oppression and stifling atmosphere.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, gazing ahead with determined eyes.

His eyes flashed with fearlessness and resolve.

No matter what happens, we must persevere.

The World Pearl is our hope to save this world.

Su Liyan tightly grasped Lu Yuan's hand, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "I believe you can lead us through the crisis."

We will surely succeed.

The two continued climbing upward, drawing ever closer to the summit of the Vast Tower.

The stairs gradually narrowed, revealing a strange and shocking sight before their eyes.

Ancient, mysterious runes covered the walls, light flowing within them, as if telling them this was the entrance to the Vast Tower's true secret.

When they finally reached the summit, a massive wooden door appeared before them.

The runes on the door shone brightly, like a mysterious scroll.

Su Liyan tightly gripped Lu Yuan's hand, filled with anticipation and tension.

There may be greater challenges and dangers behind this door.

Are you ready?

Lu Yuan gave a slight nod, his eyes fixed on that door.

We have come this far; there is no turning back.

We must open it.

They simultaneously reached out and pushed open the heavy, ancient wooden door.

A faint, mysterious light seeped from behind the door, gradually dispelling the darkness within the Vast Tower.

When the wooden door was fully opened, the two were stunned by the sight before them.

They found themselves in a vast, magnificent hall, with a lofty ceiling hung with splendid, exquisite crystal chandeliers that glittered in myriad colors under the faint light.

The hall's surrounding walls were covered with paintings and sculptural artworks, each exuding a unique mysterious aura.

The floor was carpeted with delicate patterned rugs, stepping on them felt like walking on clouds.

What place is this?

Su Liyan exclaimed in amazement, gazing around the hall, full of curiosity and longing.

Lu Yuan looked around, his gaze falling on a huge throne in the hall's center.

Seated on the throne was a youthful, mysterious-looking man, his features handsome and noble, his robes seeming to faintly emit a natural sacred aura.

They slowly walked to before the throne and paid their respects to the man.

We have come to seek the World Pearl and save this world, Lu Yuan said in a steady, resolute voice.

The man smiled and nodded, "I know your purpose."

The World Pearl awaits you here.

Su Liyan's eyes showed delight, "May I ask who you are?"

The man smiled, "I am the guardian of the Vast Tower."

My name is Tianqiong.

Hearing that name, Lu Yuan felt an unknown yet strong connection in his heart.

He clenched his fists, his burgeoning body gradually emanating a sharp aura.

Tianqiong gazed at Lu Yuan, smiling, "Lu Yuan, you possess great potential."

In the Vast Tower, you will face even more challenges and trials.

Only by passing through them can one obtain true power.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the hidden potential within him awaken once more.

I will strive to grow, for this world.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's steadfast, calm visage, as if seeing his true invincibility.

A new journey awaits them; in exploring the mystery of the World Pearl within the Vast Tower and uncovering the truth, they will inevitably face graver trials and dangers.

But they move forward with faith and courage, amidst a mysterious, oppressive atmosphere behind them.

The two encouraged each other, walking slowly across the Vast Tower's summit hall.

Slowly approaching the throne.

Tianqiong continued to smile, "The World Pearl awaits you deep within the Vast Tower."

But obtaining it is no easy task; it requires continual exploration and effort.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan clenched his fists.

I will not fear difficulties and dangers; perhaps more evil awaits us in the Vast Tower, but I firmly believe Su Liyan and I can overcome it together!

Su Liyan smiled and nodded.

No matter how many hardships lie ahead, we will face them together and overcome them. King Qi and Gu Qingwan guarded the entrance of the cave abode, awaiting Lu Yuan and Su Liyan's return.

They stared fixedly at the cave entrance, tense and anxious.

Gu Qingwan lightly bit her lower lip, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

"Could something have gone wrong?"

King Qi's eyes flashed with vigilance, and he decisively took out his own Fobao — the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel.

"No matter what happens, we must remain highly vigilant."

"Lu Yuan and Su Liyan are both extraordinarily powerful."

Gu Qingwan stared at the cave entrance somewhat nervously, "I hope they return safely."

"We must quickly find the World Pearl and use it to save this world."

King Qi nodded, "Exactly, time is extremely pressing for us."

"But now the most important thing is to wait for their return."

Suddenly, a sound of movement came from deep within the cave.

Their heartbeats quickened slightly. As the sound from deep within the cave grew nearer, King Qi and Gu Qingwan tightly gripped their Fobao, ready to face any danger that might arise.

At that moment, a black shadow rushed out of the cave, a ferocious smile appearing on its face.

"Hahaha, this is the place!"

"The World Pearl is inside this cave. The Xueying forces will proclaim dominion over the world!"

In the darkness, a red light suddenly flashed, and King Qi, who had stopped at the cave entrance, waved the golden wheel in his hand: "Stop dreaming!"

"You, the lackeys of the Xueying forces, are not worthy of obtaining the World Pearl."

Gu Qingwan, guarding beside them, raised her Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin and slammed it toward the enemy: "We will never let you succeed!"

The Xueying lackeys were clearly extraordinary, all possessing profound cultivation, their bodies reeking of thick demonic energy, as they launched an attack against the two.

King Qi and Gu Qingwan did not retreat in the face of such a powerful enemy.

King Qi gave a soft shout: "Break!"

The golden wheel transformed into brilliant, translucent gold light, striking a Xueying lackey with lightning speed.

That lackey was instantly crushed to the ground by the golden wheel, his painful wails echoing throughout the cave.

Gu Qingwan's cold gaze remained composed: "Ice Seal!" (End of chapter)
