Dead silence!
Unprecedented dead silence!
Whether on the platform at the top of the Heaven Ascending Ladder or outside the Heavenly Dao Tower, on the vast, boundless plaza—
The moment they heard that number, hundreds of millions of cultivators seemed to have been collectively struck by a freezing spell. They all stood rooted to the spot.
Their minds buzzed, going completely blank.
Only those three words remained, echoing over and over.
One million?
"I... Did I just hear that wrong?"
A cultivator spoke dazedly, breaking the dead silence.
His voice was dry and hoarse, full of uncertainty.
"It sounded like... one million..."
Someone else replied in the same dreamlike tone.
"One million points?! What kind of joke is this? Did the Heavenly Dao Tower malfunction?!"
"Fifty thousand points already broke the record that had stood for countless ages! What does one million points even mean?!"
"Perfect rating? And a special reward? This... Is this guy the Heavenly Dao Tower's own son or something?!"
The brief silence gave way to a complete uproar, like a volcano erupting!
Everyone went mad!
They couldn't understand it!
They couldn't believe it!
This result had completely exceeded the bounds of their understanding!
If Dong Sheng Yi's five hundred thousand points had been an overwhelming lead that left them shocked and awed—
Then Xiao Yang's one million points were a myth, something so absurd and earth-shattering that they could hardly believe it!
This wasn't just crushing someone!
This was an attack from a higher dimension!
"Absorbed the core of the illusory realm? What does that mean?"
"Who knows! Sounds incredible, though!"
"No wonder the second and third trials were left blank! So he collapsed the entire illusory realm?!"
"Holy crap! Is that for real? One person collapsed an entire trial level of the Heavenly Dao Tower?
