King of Ten Thousand Years

To put it simply, Luo Tian was in a perfect state and could confidently attempt to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm.

However, having passed the Ninth-Layer, Luo Tian couldn’t help but want to see what the highest level, the tenth, had in store.

BUZZ! SWOOSH!

A massive Array Light Ring formed a circular arena, enveloping Luo Tian.

"Heh... since the founding of the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion, someone has finally reached me."

A man in a green robe with a magnificent air appeared before him.

"And you are?"

For the first time, Luo Tian felt a sense of pressure.

"I am the founder of the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion, Zhang Ziyang."

The green-robed man stood proudly with his hands behind his back. Although he was a Fighting Spirit, he possessed an aura as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea.

’The founder of the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion?’

Luo Tian was astounded, but his shock quickly turned into intense fighting spirit.

What a rare opportunity it was to face the younger version of such a legendary figure.

WHOOSH!

The green-robed man’s aura shifted, suddenly dropping to the Spirit Sea Realm First Layer.

"According to the rules of the Spirit Fighting Tower, on the final level, my cultivation will match that of the challenger. The minimum is set at the Spirit Sea Realm First Layer."

The green-robed man revealed a strange expression.

The Spirit Fighting Tower’s design had never accounted for someone at the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm reaching the highest level.

’Spirit Sea Realm First Layer.’

Luo Tian’s expression grew solemn. He didn’t dare to be careless.

The Sun Chasing Founder was a legendary figure recorded in the annals of history. At the same cultivation level, he was absolutely invincible among his peers.

"Guiyuan Hand!"

Luo Tian attacked first. A Cyan Jade Light Membrane appeared on his body as he unleashed a powerful, crystalline-yellow Palm Shadow.

The power of this single palm was enough to sweep the current Human List.

"Barely passable."

The green-robed man smiled faintly.

BUZZ!

A dazzling purple-gold light erupted from his body, as if he had transformed into a magnificent purple sun, exuding a tyrannical aura that declared his supremacy over all creation.

’This Cultivation Technique... it’s a bit like the Sun Chasing Skill, but much stronger!’

Luo Tian felt a searing pressure wash over him.

WHOOSH!

The green-robed man slowly threw a punch, which gave off a halo of purple sunlight, carrying the grand intent of a rising sun breaking through the darkness.

’This punch contains the barest hint of True Intent!’

The tyrannical Palm Force Luo Tian had unleashed was swallowed and dispersed by the seemingly gentle fist light.

The remnants of the Purple Sun Fist Light swept toward him.

SWOOSH! POW!

The Cyan Jade Light Membrane on Luo Tian’s body flickered and dimmed as he was thrown back five or six meters.

"Oh? You also practice Body Refinement."

The green-robed man swayed slightly, a look of surprise on his face.

In their first exchange, this genius from a later generation had actually managed to clash with him head-on without getting injured.

"Take another of my punches!"

The green-robed man’s interest was piqued, and he slowly threw another punch.

WHOOSH! BOOM!

A fiercer beam of fist light, like a vast and blazing purple sun, came to engulf him.

This punch was forty to fifty percent more powerful.

Luo Tian’s expression grew grave as he was suppressed by the formless True Fist Skill Intent.

Without a doubt, the strength this green-robed man displayed had already far surpassed the number one on the Human List.

"Celestial Star Sword Technique, Star River Technique!"

Luo Tian drew his Wind and Snow Sword and slashed out a brilliant Sword Qi Rainbow Light. Its cold glint was profound, like a timeless river of stars hanging in the sky.

This sword strike carried a vast, boundless momentum that faintly resonated with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"True Sword Dao Intent?"

The green-robed man’s expression changed, and for the first time, he was visibly moved.

Two hundred years ago, his ability to comprehend a hint of True Fist Skill Intent in the Spirit Sea Realm had already made him unrivaled in the surrounding kingdoms.

He never expected that the youth before him would have comprehended the even more difficult Sword Intent Fur.

CRACKLE! BOOM—

The star-river-like tide of cold sword light swallowed the green-robed man’s Purple Sun Fist Light.

’So strong!’

The green-robed man retreated, looking slightly disheveled, and dispersed the frost on his arm.

Luo Tian’s sword strike also contained Sword Intent Fur, and by infusing it with a bit of his Divine Vein Power, he had managed to gain a slight upper hand.

If word of this got out, it would be enough to cause a sensation in the Martial Arts Realm.

After all, Luo Tian, at the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm, was clashing with the Sun Chasing Founder at the Spirit Sea First Layer.

"Hmph! Martial Vein Power?"

The green-robed man snorted coldly and his body froze.

OOOOOM~

A phantom image of a purple sun surrounded by rosy clouds appeared behind him, emitting terrifying waves of heat.

’This is probably an Earth Tier Upper Grade Martial Vein!’

Luo Tian’s expression grew solemn as he felt an even stronger sense of pressure and a burning sensation.

"Unleash!"

Luo Tian held nothing back. His Divine Vein erupted, and a swirling, ten-meter-wide vortex of dark Cold Mist spread around him. Within it, there seemed to be a bottomless abyss from which the faint roars of a phantom dragon could be heard.

SPLASH! POW! HISS~

The two Martial Vein Powers, one scorching and one freezing, intertwined.

Their masters also channeled their True Intent as Sword Light and fist light clashed relentlessly.

"Good, good, good! What a satisfying fight!"

Luo Tian let loose in a gratifying burst of power, exchanging one to two hundred moves with the Sun Chasing Founder.

Among his generation in the Azure Cloud Kingdom, he rarely found a worthy opponent and couldn’t fight to his heart’s content.

Now, facing the younger version of a legendary figure from two hundred years ago, he was thoroughly enjoying the battle.

「Outside the Spirit Fighting Tower.」

The soul-stirring sounds of battle coming from the tenth level made the students’ blood boil with excitement.

This was the Spirit Fighting Tower, its highest tenth level!

And Luo Tian was actually fighting to a standstill.

"I’m afraid only the legendary tenth level could force out Luo Tian’s true strength."

Nangong Yu’s eyes glittered, a trace of longing within them.

「On the cliff.」

"He’s been fighting for this long!"

"The opponent on the tenth level is based on the Sun Chasing Founder, Zhang Ziyang!"

Several of the Holy Mansion’s high-level members stared intently at the tenth level, their hearts pounding with shock.

To be able to fight the Sun Chasing Founder of the same era to this extent was something to be proud of.

Several Elders and Mentors looked at Lin Dongfeng with unconcealed envy.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the sounds of battle from the tenth level of the Spirit Fighting Tower gradually subsided.

「Inside the Array Light Ring.」

The two figures stopped fighting.

"It is a great fortune for the future Sun Chasing Holy Mansion to have produced such a genius."

The green-robed man looked gratified.

His body was covered in frost and riddled with small wounds.

If he had been a body of flesh and blood, he would have been defeated long ago.

Luo Tian, in contrast, was completely unharmed, his combat power still at its peak.

In a battle of attrition, Luo Tian’s Divine Vein and physical defense were ultimately a notch stronger.

This was a victory of comprehensive strength!

KRAK!

The Cold Power in the green-robed man’s body erupted, causing him to shatter from the inside out in a flurry of ice shards.

The moment Luo Tian defeated the Sun Chasing Founder...

BOOM!

The entire Spirit Fighting Tower trembled, unleashing a heaven-shaking aura of battle.

Immediately after, from the first level to the tenth, every floor burst forth with a magnificent and dazzling radiance from its arrays.

"This..."

The grand phenomenon left everyone outside the Spirit Fighting Tower stunned and at a loss.

"This sight... did he pass the tenth level?"

On the cliff, the Holy Mansion’s high-level members were all shocked speechless.

This astonishing phenomenon even reached the Chasing Sun Hall at the core of the Holy Mansion.

"This phenomenon! The tenth level of the Spirit Fighting Tower?"

The presiding Vice Manor Master Yue abruptly opened his eyes.

SWOOSH!

With a flash and a sound of breaking air, Vice Manor Master Yue vanished from the Chasing Sun Hall.

A moment later, Vice Manor Master Yue, Lin Dongfeng, and the other high-level members all rushed to the outside of the Spirit Fighting Tower.

"Why hasn’t he come out yet?"

Lin Dongfeng couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart as he stared at the Spirit Fighting Tower, which was wreathed in the light of ten floors.

"There must be some special rewards for passing all ten levels," Nangong Elder said with a smile.

After a long while, the lights on all ten levels of the Spirit Fighting Tower went out.

SHWAAA!

With a flash of the array’s radiant light, a cloaked youth was sent out of the tower.

"Luo Tian!"

The gazes of all the Holy Mansion’s high-level members snapped toward him in unison.

"Kid! Did you pass the tenth level?"

Lin Dongfeng asked impatiently, unable to wait.

"Yes, I did."

Luo Tian’s expression was as calm as ever. He was holding a Purple Gold Token, studying it with great interest.

After passing the tenth level of the Spirit Fighting Tower, he had received two rewards, and this token was one of them.

"That token!"

Vice Manor Master Yue’s gaze trembled, and his expression flickered, looking particularly complex.

"Luo Tian! What is that token? Is it a reward for passing the tenth level?"

"Huh! Why does that token look so familiar..."

Several of the high-level Elders looked on curiously.

Hooo...

Vice Manor Master Yue took a deep breath. Only he knew the meaning of this token.

He took the lead and walked toward Luo Tian.

"Greetings... Lord Luo Tian!"

Vice Manor Master Yue bowed slightly, forcing a smile that looked extremely awkward.

’What?’

’Lord Luo Tian!’

The eyes of every high-level member present bulged.

"Vice Manor Master Yue? Are you mistaken?"

"Yes, why are you calling him Lord Luo Tian?"

Lin Dongfeng, Nangong Elder, and the other high-level members were baffled, suspecting they had misheard.

"How could I be mistaken!"

Vice Manor Master Yue’s face darkened with displeasure. He scolded, "What are you all staring blankly for? Greet Lord Luo Tian!"

He, the Vice Manor Master, had already bowed. Having lost face, he certainly couldn’t let these old geezers laugh at him.

"Ah!"

The group of high-level members were petrified, dumbstruck, completely unable to grasp the situation.

"Luo Tian? Lord Luo Tian?"

The nearby Holy Mansion students looked as if they’d been struck by lightning, utterly stupefied.
