"Boom..."
Within Feng City, the massive Obsidian Tower suddenly trembled, and the heavy black stone gate slowly opened with a loud boom. Everyone present turned their gazes toward it with burning interest.
Once the Obsidian Tower gates were fully opened, the massive crowd roared and surged forward, their target the Obsidian Tower in the center of the plaza.
The roar was like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth. The dark mass of people surged forward like a huge dark cloud. At this moment, in front of the Obsidian Tower, the three middle-aged men exchanged glances and grinned.
"Hehe, Palace Master Dong, I remember last time in this Obsidian Tower, you were the one who benefited the most among the three of us. How about it, you're almost at the Peak of the Late Nine-Star Dou Di Stage now, aren't you?"
The man in the middle smiled and looked at the burly middle-aged man on his right, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Although the three belong to the Northern Wasteland Hall, they also have their own struggles. The main palace does not stop or interfere with these struggles, but it is precisely because of this that the Northern Wasteland Hall's power has taken root so deeply in the Northern Region and its foundation is so solid.
Upon hearing this, the Eastern Palace Master glanced coldly at the latter and said in a cold voice:
"Unlike you, Southern Hall, you're probably aiming to break through to the eighth level of the Obsidian Tower this time. If you manage to enter, your cultivation might leap to the Origin Transformation Realm. At that time, you'll truly become the second-in-command of my Northern Wasteland Hall."
"Haha, since the Eastern Palace Master has said so, then I congratulate you, brother, and wish you a smooth breakthrough to the Origin Transformation Realm. Please help me out then!"
As soon as the East Palace Master finished speaking, the middle-aged man with a refined appearance to the left of the Southern Hall cupped his hands in greeting, a warm smile on his face, and his words carried a hint of flattery.
"Oh? In that case, I'll take your kind words. Haha, and please rest assured, West Palace Master, once I break through to the Origin Transformation Realm, I will definitely lend you a hand. I wish you a speedy breakthrough to the Origin Transformation Realm so you can better govern the Northern Region and strengthen our Northern Wasteland Hall!"
The Southern Hall laughed heartily, glancing at the Eastern Palace Master out of the corner of his eye. He sneered, then moved swiftly, charging towards the Obsidian Tower first.
The surging crowd arrived one after another. The East Palace Master and the West Palace Master exchanged a cold glance, and then each took their own actions, rushing towards the Obsidian Tower together.
Amidst the crowd, Xiao Yan moved forward unstoppably like a snake, quickly arriving at the entrance of the Obsidian Tower. Seeing the massive influx of people, Xiao Yan's speed unconsciously increased slightly.
However, the instant Xiao Yan rushed into the Obsidian Tower, a tremendous force suddenly fell from above, and his figure, which had been floating in mid-air, almost fell to the ground.
"This is..."
Startled, Xiao Yan quickly regained his senses, his shoulders twitching slightly as if he had been deflected by that immense force.
Looking up at the enormous stone palace before him, Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a look of shock.
Besides the powerful magical beast energy bodies within, the most important thing about the Obsidian Tower is the Obsidian Tower itself, which possesses an extremely terrifying suppressive ability. Even experts in the Land Fighting Realm find it difficult to move an inch inside!
Although the pressure inside the tower is terrifying, the power of the first floor is far from enough to suppress Xiao Yan. At most, the pressure here can only exert irresistible pressure on some Two-Star Dou Di, and even Three-Star Dou Di can barely move around here.
Under this pressure, even if they don't kill those energy bodies, they can still grow considerably. The obsidian itself has a remarkable effect on condensing Dou Qi. Therefore, cultivating in the Obsidian Tower often brings great benefits. At this moment, many low-level Dou Di are already gathered here, starting to cultivate frantically.
The Obsidian Tower is only open for three months, so they must maximize their cultivation within this timeframe; otherwise, they will have to wait another five years for slow cultivation.
However, compared to these people, Xiao Yan's goal is clearly not the first level.
A pair of dark eyes swept across the hall, and soon Xiao Yan looked into the depths of the hall, where figures were rushing towards the second floor.
As the group rushed up the stairs, many people, except for a portion of them, slowed down their ascent, eventually collapsing on the stairs, panting heavily, unable to move an inch further, or even twitching a finger.
As for the other group, although their expressions showed some difficulty, they quickly made it to the second level. Xiao Yan noticed that the weakest among them was Four-Star Dou Di.
It is evident that as the levels of the Obsidian Tower increase, the pressure within the tower also multiplies. The pressure on the second level must be something that even an ordinary Five-Star Dou Di would find difficult to withstand!
With a slight smile, Xiao Yan did not hesitate for a moment. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and then his figure shot forward like a ghost. His speed was like the wind, which immediately startled the Dou Di powerhouses sitting cross-legged on the ground. Amidst their surprised gazes, Xiao Yan's figure flashed and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed up the steps.
"Buzz!"
A terrifying pressure descended upon Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, but his figure did not falter at all, charging forward and completely ignoring the terrifying pressure. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the main hall on the first floor.
"Who is this guy? How can he ignore the pressure from the first level?!"
"Judging by his movement technique, his cultivation level has probably reached the Eight-Star Dou Di!"
After Xiao Yan's figure disappeared, a murmur of discussion arose in the main hall on the first floor, all filled with surprise.
At the same time, Xiao Yan also appeared on the second floor of the stone tower.
Xiao Yan's appearance also attracted a lot of attention. This time, Xiao Yan glanced around and saw that in the huge hall, many slightly illusory magical beasts were floating in mid-air. These creatures varied in size, but without exception, they all contained extremely large amounts of energy. However, Xiao Yan seemed to ignore them. He slightly shook his body, relieved the pressure on his shoulders, and then leaped up and quickly flew towards the third step of the stone tower.
