Star Tower

Yan Ning stared at the figure.

So strong!

This feeling was absolutely beyond that of his teacher, Golden Feather Venerable. In other words, this was a Universe Overlord—or even a Universe Master!!

In the Hong Alliance, every member's strength was evaluated entirely based on their own battle records.

Everyone who had just joined the Hong Alliance was rated one star.

Two stars meant a powerful Sealed King, roughly at the High-level King level.

Three stars meant Peak King.

Four stars meant Sealed King Invincible. Even Elementary Universe Venerables were in this category.

Five stars meant Intermediate Universe Venerables.

Six stars meant High-level Universe Venerables.

Seven stars meant Universe Overlords. Even the weakest Universe Masters were in this category.

Yan Ning should have been rated three stars by now.

It was just that he had never killed a Peak King.

And since he had only just joined, he was rated one star.

His current strength was absolutely at the Peak King level.

The King Armor could block any attack with power below a hundred thousand times the power of a Peak World Lord. It could also fully withstand Soul Attacks below the King-Peak level, and even weaken stronger attacks by ninety percent.

His normal Divine Power Burning state.

His self-created secret technique, the Yan God Codex.

The Yan God Clan's secret technique, Yan God Transformation.

His divine power amplification was tenfold!

That was right. His divine power amplification had now reached tenfold!

Among those at or below the Peak King level,

he was absolutely invincible!!

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, Yan Ning had spent a hundred years on the Flame Sacrifice Continent.

For all those years, he had searched the Flame Sacrifice Continent for Alien Race Sealed Kings to kill.

But perhaps it was just bad luck—all the Alien Race members he killed were practically from the Demon Clan.

As a result, several Peak Kings from the Demon Clan had placed a bounty on him. Rumor even had it that a Sealed King Invincible had set their sights on him.

In the eastern part of the Flame Sacrifice Continent, atop a mountain range a million kilometers high,

Yan Ning sat cross-legged on the summit.

He was tallying the spoils from his latest battle.

He gained quite a bit from every battle.

Over the past hundred years, he had earned nearly ten trillion Hunyuan Units.

"Any news about the bounty?"

Yan Ning asked.

"Not yet, Master."

Yan Ning nodded.

Decades ago, he had started posting bounties in the Virtual Universe and the Hong Alliance for the coordinates of powerful Sealed Kings on the Flame Sacrifice Continent.

Anyone who provided coordinates would receive a million Hunyuan Units.

For a while,

this greatly increased the rate at which he killed Sealed Kings.

But the Alien Races weren't fools. They knew Yan Ning was hunting them, so they stopped carelessly revealing their coordinates.

After all, Yan Ning's strength had been widely recognized.

He was undoubtedly a Peak King.

In this part of the Flame Sacrifice Continent, Peak Kings were practically at the top.

Aside from those few who wanted him dead, no one else wanted to expose their coordinates and invite Yan Ning's pursuit.

"What a pain. Should I take out the few who placed bounties on me first?"

After thinking it over, Yan Ning still decided against it.

Those who had placed bounties on him were almost all powerful Peak Kings, or even Sealed Kings Invincible.

Even if he could beat them, he wouldn't be able to kill them.

And if those Sealed Kings Invincible caught him, he could be in danger.

It wasn't worth it.

He still didn't want to reveal his Black Hole Clone.

He was saving it for a critical moment.

"Looks like I can only head to the Star Tower."

Compared to the Star Tower, the number of Sealed Kings on the Flame Sacrifice Continent was pitifully small.

There were only so many Sealed Kings on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, but the Star Tower had drawn hundreds of thousands of Sealed Kings from the four great factions.

The entire Hong Alliance had only a little over three million Sealed Kings.

It was the Star Tower's existence that attracted so many powerful Sealed Kings.

With a wave of his hand, he brought up a projection.

It showed the Star Tower.

It was a God King Level Supreme Treasure that Sitting Mountain Guest had left exclusively for the disciples of his Earth Lineage.

The tower had nine levels and stood nine light-years tall. It had been placed here billions of years ago, before this battlefield had even been opened.

For countless years, it had ceaselessly absorbed the boundless energy of the universe.

The Nine-Spiral Nebulae formed within it.

The farther inward one went, the stronger the tearing force became.

At the fourth spiral, even Sealed Kings could barely withstand it.

Only Venerables could move about freely.

By the seventh level, even Universe Venerables would be torn apart. Its power was beyond imagination!

Besides that, there was something else that made Yan Ning covet it.

The Sealing Stars.

He knew he couldn't obtain the Star Tower.

But he could still get his hands on some Sealing Stars.

"All right, I'm heading out now!"

Three months later.

When the spacecraft emerged from the Dark Universe, brilliant light suddenly blazed beyond the windows.

"We're here."

Yan Ning stood in the cockpit, his gaze passing through the reinforced glass to the breathtaking sight in the distance.

The Star Tower!

The towering, nine-light-year-high tower stood in the starry sky. Its entire surface was bronze, and countless intricate, profound markings were carved into it. Every line seemed to contain the truths of the universe.

Even more breathtaking were the nine enormous star-cloud vortices surrounding the tower. Each vortex radiated a different color, from pale blue on the outermost layer to deep purple on the innermost. Their beauty was suffocating.

"So this is... the Star Tower!"

Yan Ning's pupils contracted. Even though he had been prepared, seeing it with his own eyes still made his soul tremble.

The pressure radiating from the tower seemed to proclaim in silence: This is a supreme creation. Mortals must not profane it!

Yan Ning took a deep breath. "It truly lives up to its reputation."

He piloted the spacecraft closer and noticed something else.

Countless remnants floated around the tower: spacecraft fragments, broken weapons, and even plenty of bones!

They were the tombstones of the powerful warriors who had tried to conquer the Star Tower over the past countless years.

"Beep!"

The communicator suddenly rang, and a message from the Hong Alliance popped up: [Demon Flame King, we have detected that you have arrived in the Star Tower region.]

[Special reminder: Do not approach the area inside the fifth vortex. The survival rate for Peak Kings is less than 1%.]

[Current number of Alien Race Sealed Kings inside the tower: approximately 270,000.]

Yan Ning grinned. "270,000? That's enough to keep me busy!"

He put away the spacecraft, flashed forward, and headed toward the very bottom of the Star Tower.

Star-cloud vortices encircled the Star Tower.

But there were no vortices around its base.

There were nine entrances at the bottom.

Many Alien Race Sealed Kings and even Marquises entered the tower through them.

"Here we are."

Yan Ning flew out of the spacecraft and casually put it away.

He reached out and touched the tower's surface.

Aside from a chill, he couldn't sense anything.

It was so enormous. No wonder it was a God King Level Supreme Treasure.

Just as Yan Ning was about to enter,

a voice suddenly called out from behind him.

"Demon Flame King."

Yan Ning turned around in surprise.

A figure clad in purple armor stood there.

"Demon Wheel King!"

"I didn't expect you to come to the Star Tower too."

Demon Wheel King walked over with a smile.

He was also a human Sealed King, with strength roughly at the High-level King level.

Yan Ning nodded slightly. "I've nearly wiped out all the Sealed Kings on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, so I came here to try my luck."

Demon Wheel King burst out laughing. "Hahaha, that's so like you!"

Yan Ning's fondness for killing Alien Races was famous throughout the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Almost everyone knew about it.
