Everyone in Despair

Each flash traversed several levels!

With each leap, the names of countless Prodigies fighting bloody battles below were mercilessly left behind!

The entire Star Network fell into absolute silence for three seconds.

All the cheers seemed to be abruptly stopped, as if gripped by an invisible hand.

Countless viewers stared wide-eyed and gaped, dumbfounded as the unstoppable golden Stream of Light swept towards the top of the leaderboard with overwhelming force.

Trial Tower, sixtieth floor.

Having just survived a fierce battle, Xiao Wuming, covered in the aftershocks of energy and a few drops of blood, was leaning on his knees, breathing heavily.

He raised his head, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but more so an air of arrogance and self-satisfaction that suggested he was in complete control.

He proved with his actions that, in terms of pure combat strength, Xiao Wuming was undoubtedly the number one!

A victorious smile curled at the corner of his lips as he habitually glanced at the virtual leaderboard beside him, wanting to see how far he had left the others behind.

However, it was just that one glance.

He saw a golden name, like a comet streaking across the sky, flashing past overhead with a violent aura that seemed to burn the entire world.

The speed was so fast that he couldn't even see the name rise to the top.

When he came to his senses, the name was already firmly positioned on the leaderboard in a spot that made his pupils suddenly contract.

[The 70th floor]!

The smile on Xiao Wuming's face froze completely at that moment.

"Seventy... seventy floors?"

The arrogance on Xiao Wuming's face cracked inch by inch.

He stared intently at the huge virtual leaderboard beside him, his eyes bloodshot, his brain a blank, buzzing mess, unable to process the information before him.

That name Chen Fan!

Just as he fought valiantly, exhausting all his resources to finally defeat the guards, and felt a moment of relief and pride at reaching the sixtieth floor, that name floated lightly past his head.

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"

Xiao Wuming murmured in disbelief, his Dao Heart trembling violently at that moment.

Meanwhile, the external Star Network live stream had completely descended into frenzy.

"Is there a bug in the system?! What's going on?!"

"BUG? You call this a BUG? Look at the frequency of those numbers jumping around, this is some kind of interstellar warp drive!"

"Which lousy commentator said that Master Chen Fan was a hermit who didn't excel in actual combat? Step forward! I'll beat you to death!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have questioned God. From now on, I am the most faithful believer of the Great God Chen Fan!"

The initial doubts and speculations were crushed in the face of absolute facts, and then transformed into a kind of almost hysterical fanatical worship.

Inside the Trial Tower.

Lei Pojun's body crackled with lightning as he punched the guard in front of him into pieces, without even glancing at the portal leading to the next level.

He let out a furious roar of resentment, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the list in the Void. The shock he felt finally turned into an even more ferocious fighting spirit, and he turned and charged towards the guards who had just been reorganized.

On the sixty-eighth floor, Luo Shenyue stopped, a hint of confusion on her face.

She didn't look at the list, but gently closed her eyes, as if trying to use her Divine Soul to sense what kind of monster existed at the top of that tower.

And Chen Fan, the one who started all of this, was yawning in front of the portal on the seventy-eighth floor.

"It's still composed of energy from the Organ Refining Realm, only the density and structure are slightly more complex."

He kept his hands in his pockets as he strolled leisurely between the layers of buildings.

To him, those guards who could put the Federation's top Prodigies in a difficult position were no different from pebbles on the roadside.

They can't even get within three feet of you.

As soon as he had a thought, those guardians that had just condensed and were exuding a terrifying aura would automatically follow some supreme law, disintegrating from the most basic particle level and turning back into pure energy points, returning to this space.

Each thought reveals a new level.

"Look! Master Chen Fan is about to reach the 80th floor!"

Just then, a veteran commentator suddenly shouted excitedly, his voice hoarse from excessive excitement:

"The eightieth floor! This is an absolute watershed! According to historical data, from this floor onwards, the difficulty of guarding it will increase exponentially! No matter how monstrous a genius is, they will inevitably slow down here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath.

The eyes of the entire universe are focused on that golden name on the leaderboard, which is about to reach eighty.

They hoped that this frantic sprint would finally find its first brief pause here.

However...

Under the watchful eyes of millions, Chen Fan's name appeared on the eightieth floor, a position representing an insurmountable barrier, without the slightest hesitation.

It simply flashed by, just like countless times before.

Then, it appeared directly on the [eighty-fifth floor].

The wind was gentle and the clouds were light.

"..."

The commentator, who had just been so passionate, stood frozen in place, mouth agape, arms outstretched in a shouting gesture.

A few seconds later, he silently turned off his microphone, plopped down, and began to question the meaning of life.

On the other side...

After a brief moment of distraction, Xiao Wuming was overwhelmed by a surge of resentment and humiliation, which transformed into a frenzied rage.

I don't believe it!

He roared, his eyes turning bloodshot, and he was willing to burn his own Golden Body Origin in exchange for a surge of power in a short period of time!

He had to catch up!

He wanted to see for himself what kind of person this Chen Fan was!

After paying a heavy price of damage to his Origin Source and a shaken foundation, Xiao Wuming, covered in blood and resembling a demon crawling out of hell, finally...

With great difficulty, they broke through the eightieth floor and stepped into the eighty-first floor.

Before he could even catch his breath, he eagerly looked up at the list, wanting to see how far he was from that person.

Then, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Just as he had risked everything and stepped into the eighty-first floor...

At the top of the leaderboard, that golden name shone brightly, finally settling firmly on a number that took everyone's breath away.

[The Prodigies Trial Tower, Level 90!]

One is ninety, the other is eighty-one.

One of them was calm and collected, hands in his pockets, as if he had just strolled through the back garden.

One of them was burning with his Origin Source, his body covered in blood, as if he had just returned from a deadly battle.

At this moment, the nine-level gap transformed into an Abyss of despair, stretching out before all the Prodigies.

Inside the space on the 90th floor, the environment suddenly changed.

No longer a monotonous gray plain, but an ancient battlefield burning with golden flames.

The air was filled with a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of any previous floor, and a chilling killing intent permeated the atmosphere.

In the center of the battlefield, a warrior, ten meters tall and composed entirely of dazzling golden crystal, wielding a giant axe, is slowly taking shape.

The aura emanating from it had clearly reached the Early Golden Body Realm!
