Two minutes later.
"Ding, you have defeated a Legendary Quasi-Saint Boss. You have ultimately obtained 1,900,000 Immortal Power (10x Refinement)."
"You have obtained 1,900,000 Immortal Crystals."
"You have ultimately obtained 160 Law Points."
"You have obtained 3 Medium Law Shards."
"You have obtained 1 Small Domain Shard."
"You have cleared the 98th floor."
This time, although two Bosses were defeated, only one Small Domain Shard was dropped. It seemed that the drop rate was indeed not 100%. After strengthening and absorbing these gains, Lin Feng entered the 99th floor.
This time, although the number of Bosses faced was greater, with the rapidly increasing domain strength and the chaotic immortal power quickly converted by Law Points, Lin Feng found it easier to cope. In less than two minutes, he had cleared the floor.
"Ding, you have defeated a Legendary Quasi-Saint Boss. You have ultimately obtained 2,850,000 Immortal Power (10x Refinement)."
"You have obtained 2,850,000 Immortal Crystals."
"You have ultimately obtained 240 Law Points."
"You have obtained 5 Medium Law Shards."
"You have obtained 2 Small Domain Shards."
"You have obtained the Law of Water."
"You have cleared the 99th floor."
This was a great harvest. Not only did two domain shards drop, but even a complete Law was obtained. Lin Feng had no time to deal with this ordinary Five Elements Law, and instead, with excitement and anticipation, he headed to the next floor.
"You have cleared the highest floor of the [Tower of Ascension]. Do you wish to settle all rewards uniformly?"
"After settlement, the floors will reset, and your next challenge will be directly sweepable for rewards."
"You can open the [Tower of Ascension] permissions to outsiders, setting entry conditions and requirements. For every player who successfully challenges a floor, you will receive an additional 1% of the harvest."
"In half an hour, the [Tower of Ascension] will automatically settle."
Lin Feng was stunned. It was over just like that? It ended at Legendary Quasi-Saint? What about Epic? He still wanted to challenge Mythical! He felt a little disappointed. He had spent so much effort challenging the Tower of Ascension before, and now that he had cleared it, he felt a sense of anticlimax. He did not choose to settle and retreated first. There was still half an hour, so he could take his time to think about how to proceed.
Just as he was feeling regretful, he suddenly noticed a blind spot. [Tower of Ascension] (Eight-fold Amplification). Only eight-fold amplification? His eyes lit up. He recalled that a Mythical Golden Immortal level treasure chest could be strengthened to twelve-fold amplification, and this treasure should have the same potential. He tried it, and indeed it could be strengthened. He then eagerly strengthened it to the twelfth level in one go. Although he could choose three options, when he saw an option that could upgrade the treasure to Taiyi Golden Immortal level, he immediately chose to use it. Then, he continued to strengthen it. Upon reaching the eighth level, an option to upgrade it to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal artifact finally appeared. He joyfully chose it. Finally, Lin Feng stopped when this treasure could no longer be strengthened.
[Deified Tower of Ascension] (Sixteen-fold Amplification)
Tier: Grand Unity Golden Immortal Artifact
Description: This is a mysterious pagoda, said to grant power that pierces the heavens to those who reach its summit. Upon activation, it will automatically transport you to a special plane and grant you permission to climb the Tower of Ascension, which is divided into ninety-nine floors, each guarded by a Boss. You can challenge it once daily. After defeating each floor, ... cultivation amplification and drop amplification items cannot be used. Upon failure, ... attempts become invalid. kanδん Already challenged ... sweepable.
The previous description had not changed. The key was the newly added description. When the original barrier is broken, you can engage with deified opponents, and defeating them will yield even more generous rewards. After clearing the 99 floors, deified enhanced floors will appear. After clearing all difficulties, the next floor will appear. Clearing the highest difficulty of each floor can unlock the next level. Highest Floor: Mythical Ninth Floor.
Lin Feng became excited. This was what the Tower of Ascension should be like. He chose to enter again. Beyond the original 99 floors, a purple, shimmering gate appeared. Lin Feng walked towards it.
"Do you choose to continue challenging Enhanced Difficulty One of the original 99 floors?"
"Upon success, Enhanced Difficulty Two will be unlocked."
"Upon failure, you can still challenge twice today."
"The cumulative daily enhanced difficulty challenges can be up to nine additional times, with no loss upon failure."
Given this, he naturally chose to challenge. Lin Feng walked through the gate.
...
The Immortal Realm.
Yun Luo Palace.
Ao Li slumped onto the exquisite jade chair at the highest point, utterly dejected. The meticulously chosen Golden Immortals sent to the lower realm were supposed to be foolproof. However, the soul lamp left behind in Yun Luo Palace indicated that they were already dead. He had initially disbelieved the news. A bunch of mortals in the lower realm, even with an extraordinary individual, how could they possibly deal with beings of Golden Immortal level? Could it be that this lower realm was not as simple as he imagined? At this thought, he was suddenly shocked. The rapid growth of the extraordinary individual. The repeated attempts to target him from the Earth Immortal Realm and the Immortal Realm all ended in failure. And whispers of dissent were subtly spreading within the Immortal Realm. He felt a chill run down his spine and dared not think further. Ao Sheng's revenge suddenly seemed insignificant. He closed his eyes.
...
Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Mist Cave.
Yu Ding paced back and forth with a restless expression. Although he had acted on his master's instructions, using the rules of the Heavenly Dao to influence Lin Feng's mission progress, merging tasks that originally ranged from Human Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal into one, forcing him to face several peak Grand Unity Golden Immortals directly. Moreover, there was a residual consciousness from that ancient killing formation. Even if that extraordinary individual possessed the strength of an ordinary Quasi-Saint, he was likely to perish. By all accounts, it should have been foolproof. However, after making these arrangements, his unease grew stronger. It seemed that even such a setup could not overcome the opponent. He could not believe this possibility, but his perception had always been accurate. He would rather believe that everyone in the Immortal Realm, even his master, might have underestimated that extraordinary individual. At this thought, his expression became resolute, and he hesitated no longer. He took out the bronze mirror from under his pillow.
"Fellow Daoist, I have a matter, and I implore your assistance."
"By Master's decree, we need to probe the reality of an extraordinary individual. My arrangements feel insufficient in strength, so I ask you to provide hidden support... After success, we, master and disciples, will help you complete the replenishment of your Five-Colored Divine Light."
A moment later.
Only after the other party agreed did Yu Ding put down the bronze mirror and breathe a sigh of relief. With one of the top-ranked Quasi-Saints stepping in, the matter should be easily resolved. However, he had agreed to the other party's request, and he would have a lot of work to do. He felt a headache and a touch of annoyance.
...
Lin Feng was full of anticipation for this so-called enhanced difficulty. Since the difficulty was high, the rewards should not be lacking. To his surprise, upon entering this floor, he discovered that this enhanced difficulty consisted of six Legendary Quasi-Saint Bosses. Lin Feng smiled. Were they trying to overwhelm him with numbers? He plunged headfirst into their well-prepared formation.
"The opponent's formation [Six Paths of Reincarnation] is active. Your 10x Refined Immortal Power is reduced by 50%, base attack power is reduced by 75%, base defense power is reduced by 50%, attack speed is reduced by 50%, movement speed is reduced by 30%, attack speed is reduced by 50%, duration: 3 minutes."
These debuff effects alone were quite daunting. For any other Legendary Quasi-Saint, such debuffs would directly reduce their strength by several tiers, leaving them at the mercy of their opponents. However, Lin Feng was relatively unconcerned. His core support was chaotic immortal power. Even if the 10x refined immortal power was halved, the impact was not significant. As for the reduction in base attack power, it was even less of a concern. His attack power was primarily derived from the high bonus of his cultivation technique's traits. Even if his base attack power were completely depleted, it would have little effect. Therefore, although the formation seemed versatile and powerful with a long duration, for Lin Feng, it only weakened him slightly. After all, his strength was still slightly superior to these six individuals. Furthermore, his seemingly reckless attack was the most efficient. With flashes of sword light, he was like a true warrior, brave and fearless. The encirclement by the six and the imposing aura of the formation had no effect on him. In just two minutes, Lin Feng had cleared the floor.
"Ding, you have defeated a Legendary Quasi-Saint Boss. You have ultimately obtained 5,700,000 Immortal Power (10x Refinement)."
"You have obtained 5,700,000 Immortal Crystals."
"You have ultimately obtained 640 Law Points."
"You have obtained 9 Medium Law Shards."
"You have obtained 4 Small Domain Shards."
"You have obtained the Law of Wind."
"You have obtained the Law of the Saber."
"You have cleared the 99th floor, Enhanced Difficulty One."
The success of this floor gave Lin Feng immense confidence. With the remaining time, after a brief adjustment and digestion of his gains, he chose to continue. In Enhanced Difficulty Two, there were a total of nine Legendary Quasi-Saint Bosses. Although they were more numerous and their formations were stronger, with even domain synergy among them, Lin Feng's strength was constantly improving, and he did not fear them. He continued with an onslaught, scattering the opponents. Moreover, the harvest this time was even more abundant. Lin Feng did not have much time to savor the moment. Instead, he quickly strengthened the fragments that could be converted into immediate combat power to enhance his strength. Although it was only a few minutes within the level, his various strengths were rapidly improving.
In Enhanced Difficulty Three, it was not the twelve Bosses of the same tier he had imagined, but a staggering twenty-seven! Lin Feng, not paying close attention, was caught in an attack. He hadn't expected that among these twenty-seven Bosses, three possessed powerful control-type divine abilities. The moment they engaged, these three took turns launching control attacks on Lin Feng. Although he had decent immunity, it was all geared towards the highest-level divine abilities. These three all possessed innate divine abilities. Under their relentless bombardment, Lin Feng, not being careful, was firmly controlled. He barely had a chance to retaliate and was controlled for the full 3 minutes from start to finish. Then, under the full assault of the other twenty-plus Legendary Quasi-Saints, his high HP bonus could not last for long. He died and fell.
After Lin Feng revived, he felt a sense of unwillingness. After a thorough review, he challenged again. This time, he did not blindly charge forward. Instead, he moved around, looking for opportunities. Then, he used his domain's suppression effect to gradually approach the opponents. Finally, with his precise footwork and meticulous observation, after controlling or killing the three Bosses with control divine abilities one by one, the rest was a monotonous, mindless output. This time, it took Lin Feng a full 9 minutes to clear the level. Most of the time was spent observing and searching for opportunities. Fortunately, he finally passed successfully. Otherwise, each enhanced difficulty failure only allowed two more challenges. If he had failed again this time, the Tower of Ascension would be irrelevant to him for the day. And the harvest this time was far more abundant than any previous level.
"Ding, you have defeated a Legendary Quasi-Saint Boss. You have ultimately obtained 256,500,000 Immortal Power (10x Refinement)."
"You have obtained 256,500,000 Immortal Crystals."
"You have ultimately obtained 2,160 Law Points."
"You have obtained 19 Medium Law Shards."
"You have obtained 2 Large Law Shards."
"You have obtained 11 Small Domain Shards."
"You have obtained 11 Small Domain Shards."
"You have obtained the Law of Wood."
"You have obtained the Law of Water."
"You have obtained the Law of Slaughter."
"You have obtained the Law of Necromancy."
"You have cleared the 99th floor, Enhanced Difficulty Three."
"You have obtained the right to challenge Deified Enhanced Floor One."
The generosity of these rewards far exceeded Lin Feng's expectations. While checking and strengthening them, an idea began to grow in his mind. With his current strength, although greatly improved, the difficulty of the levels also increased significantly. His speed and efficiency in clearing future levels were far inferior to before. Perhaps it was time to change his strategy and do something else. For example, exploring the ruins of Biyou Palace?
