Even now, her heart was still pounding with lingering fear!

Ten years ago, he was just a true disciple of the Omega Sword Sect.

But he was already able to defeat hundreds of half-step kings in the ancient wasteland, astonishing the world and earning himself the title of number one person below the king stage.

At that time, everyone looked at him with awe and admiration. He was akin to a sacred mountain that could not be shaken.

Now, ten years later, Kong Ling had become a core disciple of the Omega Sword Sect through the special talent of the Five-Colored Peacock Clan. Her name was known throughout the younger generation of the East Victory World.

She was also ranked on the Absolute Apex Little Giants!

She originally thought that she had narrowed the gap between her and Yun Qingbai.

But after meeting him again, she realized that even if she had grown much stronger in the past ten years, her senior brother Yun also was no longer the same senior brother Yun as he was ten years ago!

“His gaze alone makes me feel unsettled and uneasy. If he used force, I very likely can’t even defend myself…” Kong Ling sighed.

She could not deny that it was a misfortune to be at the same cultivation stage as Yun Qingbai.

He overshadowed all his peers regardless of how splendid they were.

How could the brilliance of a pearl compete with the sun or the moon?

“Although Senior Brother Yun had made no breakthrough in his cultivation base during his ten years of closed-door cultivation, his years of training still built him a solid foundation that give him the confidence to look down on all geniuses of the current generation. When the great age comes is the day that Senior Brother Yun will re-emerge. At that time, the entire ancient wasteland will likely tremble at his feet, isn’t that right?”

Kong Ling felt emotional.

Soon, she organized her thoughts and emotions, and her clear eyes glowed like clear diamonds.

“Even if Senior Brother Yun doesn’t care that his records ten years ago have been broken, I still want to see who did it...”

She was well aware of the terror of the twelve towers, but she knew more of how difficult and impossible it was to break the records that Yun Qingbai set back then.

But all that had changed!

She could not accept it because it felt as though a legend that she believed in was destroyed.

Shua!

Before long, she turned into a beautiful peacock, stretched out her colorful wings, and soared into the sky, leaving the Omega Sword Sect and heading for Purple Air City.

……

Azure Cloud City, Dao Practice Tower.

The entrance was drowning in weeds, the paths were covered in moss, and the doorways were bordered by overgrown grass.

One of the impressive twelve towers turned out to be a desolate and neglected place.

“Why is it like this?” Lin Xun asked in puzzlement.

Xiao Qinghe sighed, “It’s like that. Ever since Yun Qingbai set that record ten years ago, it has gradually become quiet and deserted.“

It seemed that only those able to break the highest record would have the opportunity to obtain the blessing of the tower.

Ten years ago, Yun Qingbai stepped into the Dao Practice Tower and ascended to the top in one go.

He set such an amazing record that was unheard of. Every challenger failed to beat his record and had to return with nothing.

Additionally, a cultivator had to pay fifty thousand top-grade aeth essences to enter the Dao Practice Tower so that already put off the majority of cultivators.

“For cultivators below the king stage in the world, the record that Yun Qingbai created in the Dao Practice Tower is like an unshakable mountain. Also, every cultivator had to first fork up a huge amount of aeth essence to challenge the tower, so who would want to train here?”

Xiao Qinghe’s expression was complicated.

The more desolate and deserted the Dao Practice Tower was, the more it highlighted how extraordinary Yun Qingbai was ten years ago. He deterred the cultivators of the world from coming to challenge his record. His power was skin to the blazing sun, shining alone in the sky!

“Fifty thousand top-grade aeth essence.” The corners of Lin Xun’s lip twitched imperceptibly.

It cost such a huge amount of aeth essence just to enter the tower. Even successors from the ancient clans and sects would feel their heart ache, never mind ordinary Cyclic Derivation cultivators.

“Of course, great benefits would come to anyone who could beat Yun Qingbai’s record. It is rumored that there are nine great dao hassocks of different grades on the top floor of the Dao Practice Tower.”

“Every great dao hassock has some sort of beneficial effect on a cultivator’s great dao cultivation.” Xiao Qinghe’s eyes gleamed. “In the past, there have been black, white, yellow and red great dao hassocks appearing in the Dao Practice Tower. It was only ten years ago when the only purple great dao hassock appeared.”

“In my view, the purple great dao hassock should be the highest grade. If a cultivator meditates on it, it could transform the great dao power of a cultivator!”

Lin Xun had also heard of it before and had a general idea already, but his heart still throbbed when he heard it directly from Xiao Qinghe.

Transform one’s great dao cultivation!

This was indeed a temptation that no cultivator could decline.

The great dao was difficult, but cultivating the dao was more difficult, especially comprehending the power of the great dao!

Even though Lin Xun had remarkable comprehension and foundation, so far, he had only cultivated the fire and water dao, two first-grade grand daos, to the level of the Dao Truth.

As for his mastery of the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer, it had only just reached the level of the Dao Ripple, and there was still a great distance from reaching the level of Dao Meaning, let alone the Dao Truth level.

However, the blessing of the Dao Practice Tower could miraculously transform the great dao cultivation of any cultivator.

Of course, the cultivator had to first beat the record set by Yun Qingbai ten years ago!

Swoosh!

With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xun sent the top-grade aeth essence flowing into the mouth of a mythical beast statue in front of the entrance.

“You...do you really plan to challenge it now?” Lin Xun’s action took Xiao Qinghe aback.

“I’m not here to admire or pay homage to the historical sites.” Lin Xun entered the tower with a flash.

“This guy is either a lunatic or an abnormal monster!”

Xiao Qinghe was dumbfounded. He started to suspect whether Lin Xun had a grudge against Yun Qingbai.

When other cultivators heard about Yun Qingbai’s records and feats, they would more or less hesitate to continue or feel the pressure, but Lin Xun was the complete opposite. He acted decisively every time and without much consideration.

It seemed like he had to destroy Yun Qingbai’s record.

“Purple is already the color of the highest-grade great dao hassock. If you want to break his record, the chances of it happening is slim...” Xiao Qinghe frowned.

It was not that he was not optimistic about Lin Xun, but that Yun Qingbai had held the best record in the Dao Practice Tower since ancient times so it was near impossible to surpass it.

Unless…

A miracle happened!

……

An ancient mottled platform greeted Lin Xun as he walked inside and a stone ladder led up the tower.

There were nine levels of platforms, and each one was ordinary and plain.

The platform was just several feet with nothing else in sight.

But when Lin Xun stepped onto the first platform, the surroundings changed.

Darkness enveloped him. Everything was pitch-black. He could see nothing, not even his fingers, and he could sense nothing with his senses.

The silence and stillness were oppressive.

Standing in the darkness felt more terrifying than being blind because even his senses failed to detect anything except darkness.

An ethereal voice rang out, “Dao Practice begins!”

Lin Xun took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his right hand, palm facing upwards. A bead of crystal clear water emerged on the tip of his finger.

Then, the water droplet quivered before it burst into strands of water as fine as hair, and as faint as mist.

Then, he manipulated the strands of water to transform into a brook, a stream, a lake and a river...

Rumble!

In the darkness, water roared and reared high like turbulent waves. Soon, a vast ocean appeared.

In the sky, torrential rain poured down, flooding the void.

Within seconds, the dark and silent space was transformed into a world of water.

It was as vast as an ocean and as small as a drop of rain or dew, both of which were a wonderful form of water.

However, with a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xun cast a tongue of flame across the air. At first, it was as tiny as a ball of light, but then it quickly grew into a raging fire and then a river of lava and a sea of flames...

Fire beamed across heaven and earth and flames flared up, dispelling the complete darkness.

Rumble—

The two worlds of water and fire, the two dao powers that Lin Xun had mastered were displayed to their fullest.

The former was majestic and vast, while the latter was flamboyant and splendid. The two created an exceptionally stunning scene.

Boom!

However, it wasn’t over yet. Lin Xun continued to display the power of the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer without any reservation. A giant abyss took shape in the air, swallowing the blue dome of heaven and drowning the nine underworlds!

All visions began to distort, shake and collapse...until they were annihilated into nothingness.

The two worlds of water and fire were also impacted as the terrifying annihilating force quickly took control of them.

The boundless ocean set off a violent black hole vortex while the roaring lava turned into a storm of flames and swept across the universe...

All of a sudden, doomsday seemed to be arriving!

Boom!

It was unknown how much time had passed, but as Lin Xun finished practicing his great dao power, each of the earthshaking scenes faded one after another.

Then, the scenery changed, and when his vision was completely restored, he found that he was standing on the ancient mottled platform.

Did I succeed?

He couldn’t be sure.

Following a peculiar buzz, nine hassocks appeared one after another on the originally empty platform.

One was bright red like it was burning.

One was whiter than snow.

One was as green as jade.

……

Lin Xun ran his eyes over the hassocks before his gaze landed on the ninth one.

The hassock glowed a unique and sacred purple hue.

In contrast, although the other eight hassocks had their own mysteriousness, their brilliance was completely overshadowed by the purple hassock.

Lin Xun’s expression turned strange.
