Supreme Elixir God

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Advancement

"This..."

The sky was filled with giant beasts, swooping down toward him like a swarm of locusts.

Such a scene immediately gave Ji Chen quite a scare.

As for the current Qin Chen, because he’d been a wastrel for years, his cultivation wasn’t high, only the same as Ji Chen’s had been outside—at the Void Realm Second Layer level.

With such cultivation, among the younger generation in Divine River City, he could be said to be at the very bottom.

What’s more, he was the son of an Emperor Venerable.

One had to know, not long ago in the Drunken Fragrance Tower, the Fu Feng who’d just been beaten up by him was merely the descendant of a Supreme Elder of the Fu Family, and though his age was similar to Qin Chen’s, his cultivation had long since stepped into the Saint Realm.

In such an era where experts were as common as clouds, for Qin Chen, the son of an Emperor Venerable, to be at this age yet still only at the Void Realm Second Layer—if word got out, no one would dare believe it.

"These Demon Beasts, in terms of strength, each one is at least at the Void Realm First Layer, and now there are actually over ten thousand..."

Ji Chen clicked his tongue; this was absolutely not something he, as he was now, could deal with.

There was a restriction within the Secret Realm: once you came here, you couldn’t use the methods and trump cards you had outside. What you could use was only the power this body itself possessed.

That is to say, from the moment he entered the Secret Realm, Ji Chen’s Hongmeng Body, Emperor Scripture, and Law Power had all been sealed away.

Right now, he was Qin Chen, and with Qin Chen’s strength, don’t mention ten thousand Demon Beasts—just facing a single one would probably give him a headache.

"Right, the Wooden Hammer!"

Just as he was troubled over this, Ji Chen suddenly thought of something.

"Buzz!"

Then, without any hesitation, he summoned out the Fuxi Hammer that Qin Zhihai had just handed to him.

In an instant, a divine light burst out from the Wooden Hammer, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a streak of Sword Aura, slashing forward with tremendous force.

"Roar!"

Nearly ten thousand Demon Beasts were wiped out in an instant, completely slaughtered clean by that streak of Sword Aura, turning into a sky full of blood mist that ultimately dispersed into nothingness.

"This..."

Ji Chen was dumbfounded; this was his first time witnessing the might of the Fuxi Hammer.

An Emperor Venerable Level Life-Protecting Treasure was indeed extraordinary. With the help of this hammer, it seemed very likely that he would be able to achieve a pretty good result in this tower trial.

"Buzz!"

And just as he was thinking this, he saw specks of light appear in the void ahead.

Their number was exactly the same as the number of Demon Beasts he had just slain.

After hovering in midair for a moment, those lights, with Ji Chen as the center, all converged toward him, and finally, along his glabella, seeped into his body.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, Ji Chen could clearly feel that his cultivation was greatly enhanced at that instant.

He directly jumped from the Void Realm Second Layer to the Peak of the Second Layer, as if he could break through to the Third Layer at any moment!

"Just the First Layer of space, and the improvement is already this shocking?"

The change in the power within his body left Ji Chen stunned once more, then he quickly let out a sigh.

It was a pity that this improvement did not belong to him.

Ten years later, when he returned to the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, everything would revert to how it was.

An illusory Ancient Ladder appeared beneath Ji Chen’s feet; this was the path leading to the Second Layer.

Ji Chen did not hesitate for long; he stepped forward and walked upward.

When he arrived at the Second Layer, he looked around and found that everything here was exactly the same as in the First Layer. A vast, boundless space, with nothing else present besides himself.

Very soon, the space quivered slightly.

He saw countless figures appear along with it.

They were still gigantic Demon Beasts, but their forms and appearances were different from those he encountered on the First Layer.

Moreover, Ji Chen could feel that the aura upon these Demon Beasts was clearly much stronger than those that had appeared on the First Layer.

"Buzz!"

Without any hesitation, he once again summoned the Fuxi Hammer.

A divine radiance flashed, then transformed into a gigantic Divine Hammer, smashing down from the sky.

There was not the slightest accident.

Over ten thousand Demon Beasts were instantly smashed to death in the void by the Divine Hammer, turning into a sky full of light spots that surged toward Ji Chen, entered between his brows, and were absorbed into his body, becoming Ji Chen’s strength.

"Bang!"

At that moment, a dull sound came from within Ji Chen’s body.

His cultivation broke through the bottleneck from the Peak of the Void Realm Second Layer and directly reached the Void Realm Third Layer!

"So this is the effect of the Spirit Emperor Tower! I’ve only passed two layers so far, and my cultivation has already broken through..."

Ji Chen was shocked. At this speed, it was hard to imagine—if he could reach the Fiftieth Layer, the Eightieth Layer, or even the Ninetieth Layer, how terrifyingly fast his strength would soar.

After his surprise, he quickly felt relieved.

Unfortunately, all of this improvement belonged to Qin Chen and had nothing to do with him.

"Forget it, thinking more is pointless. Now that I have the Fuxi Hammer in hand, I’ll clear the Spirit Emperor Tower as fast as possible. Getting out is what really matters. Rather than spending time in this tower, it’s more practical to go to the Cultivation Technique Hall and comprehend Martial Techniques."

Muttering thus, he quickly stepped forward again and ascended to the Third Layer of the Spirit Emperor Tower.

...

Meanwhile, outside the Spirit Emperor Tower, in the plaza.

The geniuses of the younger generation of the Ancient Race had long since entered and begun climbing upward.

Many of the older generation had gathered outside the tower, all with some expectation on their faces, hoping that their clan’s juniors could gain great harvests in this tower trial.

One had to know, the Spirit Emperor Tower had not been opened many times over the years, and every time it did, any who entered the tower would obtain significant cultivation improvement.

But there was one thing that had to be made clear: if one encountered a Demon Beast siege within the tower and fell into a desperate situation, there would be a real risk to their life.

Inside the Spirit Emperor Tower, if you died, you truly died!

So, upon learning that the Spirit Emperor Tower would be opened today, all the clans prepared a large number of Magical Treasures for their juniors, to help them reach higher layers and gain more cultivation improvement.

"Do you think anyone will be able to successfully clear all ninety-nine layers this time?"

"You’re overthinking it. Since the existence of the Spirit Emperor Tower, although it hasn’t been opened many times, there have been plenty who made it past the Fiftieth Layer. But ninety-nine layers? No one has ever managed it. That’s simply impossible."

"What about Qin Chen? Just now, Emperor Qin Venerable even gave him the Fuxi Hammer. With this Divine Hammer’s assistance, could he still fail to clear ninety-nine layers?"

"It can’t be the real Fuxi Hammer. It’s most likely an imitation. After all, that’s the Emperor Venerable’s Life-Protecting Treasure. How could he possibly hand the genuine one to a wastrel?" someone said.

"If it’s just an imitation, then wanting to rely on it to break through ninety-nine layers seems impossible as well. But since it’s at least an Emperor Venerable Level Magical Treasure... I think Qin Chen should be able to reach around the Eightieth Layer."

They discussed it like this, but they still underestimated how much Qin Zhihai spoiled his son. In reality, what he had just given Qin Chen was the true Fuxi Hammer, not some imitation.
