Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 593 - : Instant Kill

Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Instant Kill

He retracted his finger and Wang Chen took a long breath.

Although the duel had ended quickly, and he had emerged unscathed and victorious against his opponent, the degree of heart-pounding tension during the battle was even higher than the challenge on the fifth tier.

From the beginning, Wang Chen had gone all out, revealing his trump card and forcibly confronting his powerful opponent head-on.

The victory was thrilling, and it was stunning!

Releasing the long staff in his hand, the weapon silently dissipated into nothingness.

Wang Chen’s gaze turned toward the great rock in front of him.

Now was the time to reap the rewards!

The three Reverse Spirit Vermilion Fruits still hung intact on the branch, vibrant and tempting, with an enticing fragrance that was undiminished.

Even someone with a firm resolve like Wang Chen couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

This was a heavenly material and earthly treasure that could enhance one’s Root Bone!

Originally, Wang Chen’s biggest weakness was his inferior Root Bone, but even though it had been improved several times, his talents still couldn’t compare with those of true geniuses.

It had not been easy to get to where he was today.

Now he was before a treasure that could significantly compensate for this shortcoming, and it would be false to say Wang Chen was not tempted!

However, he didn’t have the intention to greedily claim all of them because whether these types of treasures were consumed directly or refined into Pills, the enhancement they provided to one’s innate qualities was one-time.

Eating three Vermilion Fruits had the same effect as eating one, and it could even lead to negative effects.

Wang Chen snapped his fingers, sending out a gust of wind with pinpoint accuracy that cut off the branch holding the Vermilion Fruits.

The moment the branch began to fall, he reached out, swiftly stowed it into the Sumeru Ring.

The whole process took less than three breaths.

Naturally grown treasures like the Reverse Spirit Vermilion Fruits would rapidly lose their Spiritual Energy and medicinal effects once separated from their parent plant.

Therefore, the faster they were stored in the Sumeru Ring, the better they were preserved.

Having successfully acquired the Reverse Spirit Vermilion Fruits, Wang Chen felt as if he had accomplished a great life event.

When he first agreed to fetch them for his senior sister, Yin Sulan, he hadn’t taken it to heart.

Because opportunities like this were not to be sought; treasures like the Reverse Spirit Vermilion Fruits were incredibly rare, and it was highly unlikely that he would just happen upon them—it seemed almost impossible.

Yet, the impossible had happened!

Wang Chen shook his head, suppressing the doubts in his heart, as he faced an even more important issue now.

“Should I challenge the seventh tier of the Tower of Heaven-reaching?”

The seventh tier!

The Ancient Sky-reaching Tower had eighty-one tiers, and the difficulty starting from the first tier was quite high.

Wang Chen had passed the sixth tier using all of his wits and had also reached the limits of his strength.

That burly cultivator from before, despite the battle ending so quickly, had Wang Chen made even the slightest mistake, the result could have been very different.

And the opponent on the seventh tier would undoubtedly be even more powerful and terrifying!

So, should he continue to challenge?

Wang Chen hesitated, and then a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

He tried asking the Ancient Taoist Stele residing within his Sea of Consciousness—if one failed the challenge inside the Tower of Heaven-reaching, would they truly die?

All this time, Wang Chen had viewed the Ancient Taoist Stele as a powerful treasure.

Just like his Thousand Mechanisms Changing, Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, Creation Cauldron, only on a higher level.

However, since entering the secret realm of Azure Drop Heaven, the Ancient Taoist Stele had become very active, transmitting vast amounts of information to him.

To Wang Chen, it felt as if an inanimate object had suddenly been imbued with a soul!

This had sparked an idea in him.

After all, trying wouldn’t cost any Spirit Stones.

The response from the Ancient Taoist Stele turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

Failing inside the Tower of Heaven-reaching wouldn’t result in actual death, but there would be a price to pay!

This answer made Wang Chen’s eyes light up, and he quickly inquired further: what kind of price would need to be paid?

However, the Ancient Taoist Stele gave no response.

Wang Chen tried a few more times, even changing the question.

The Ancient Taoist Stele remained silent throughout.

Forget it!

Wang Chen gave up on pressing for answers and said in a deep voice, “I want to challenge the seventh tier!”

Since he wouldn’t truly die, what did he have to fear about the challenge?

As for the cost, Wang Chen believed he should be able to afford it.

No sooner had his voice faded than the space around him immediately underwent violent changes.

Mountains crumbled, forests vanished, brooks merged into pools, boulders sank to the bottom, and verdant lotus leaves broke through the water’s surface, blooming into delicate lotus flowers.

In a blink of an eye, the mist over the water scattered, and a deep and secluded Lotus Pond appeared in front of Wang Chen.

In the center of the pond, a solitary Jinlian bloomed, emitting thousands of strands of bright and gentle light.

Bathed in this brilliance, Wang Chen felt relief wash over him; his entire being seemed to be immersed in a hot spring, basking in blissful warmth!

To Wang Chen’s amazement, the light of the Jinlian penetrated his Undying Body without any hindrance, silently nourishing his internal organs.

The minor internal injuries caused by previous cultivation and battles had unexpectedly healed completely!

Wang Chen was truly astonished.

Without a doubt, this Jinlian was the reward for passing the seventh tier of the Tower of Heaven-reaching.

Although he did not know its origin, being illuminated by the light of the Jinlian had such a miraculous effect.

Its value was undoubtedly immense!

The problem was, the Tower of Heaven-reaching had a total of eighty-one tiers. If the reward for the seventh tier was this amazing, what about the higher eighth, ninth, tenth tiers…

And the treasures that lay on the dozens of tiers above, or at the highest level?

First-tier Magic Artifacts, second-tier Spiritual Artifacts, third-tier Magical Treasures, fourth-tier Spiritual Treasures, fifth-tier Yuan Artifacts, sixth-tier Taoist Treasures, seventh-tier True Artifacts…

Wang Chen dared not think further.

Is this reality?

Keep in mind, the former master of the Secret Realm, Many Treasures Taoist, was only at the Nascent Soul level.

Or could it be that this extremely mysterious cultivator was not as simple as a True Immortal and that his actual realm was far beyond that?

Perhaps it was due to too much, too fast thinking, but Wang Chen felt his head was about to explode.

Calm down!

He forced himself to settle.

And at that very moment, Wang Chen’s opponent appeared.

A cultivator in white robes manifested quietly beside the Jinlian, back turned to Wang Chen.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his right hand gripping an Autumn Water Longsword.

Despite not seeing his face, the cultivator’s tall stature and transcendent bearing commanded awe.

The robe he wore fluttered without wind, as if he stood upon a precipice, gazing into the distance!

The ground beneath Wang Chen’s feet trembled, and five weapons burst from the earth.

They were still the previous saber, sword, spear, staff, and axe!

Wang Chen reached out and grabbed the staff.

Somehow, even though his opponent was facing away, he felt a creepy sensation.

At every moment, the white-robed cultivator radiated Sword Intent, causing pain upon gaze, stinging the eyes and piercing into the Sea of Consciousness, reaching the Divine Soul with extreme sharpness!

Intuition told Wang Chen that his adversary in this challenge was a Sword Cultivator.

A pure Sword Cultivator.

And just as Wang Chen grasped the staff, the white-robed cultivator suddenly turned around.

Before Wang Chen could get a clear look at his opponent’s face, a fiercely unparalleled Sword Light occupied his entire field of vision.

Wang Chen felt a pain in his forehead, and his consciousness immediately plummeted into an abyss!
