Chapter 176 - 176: 129: A Different Twentieth Floor – Part 3
Lu Yun too, thought as much.
However, as he stepped into the whirlpool portal and entered the Myriad Phenomena Tower, he was suddenly taken aback.
There was a pitch-black sky here, with no structures or energy fluctuations around.
Suddenly, a tornado launched itself in front of him.
The tornado kept swirling, echoing a voice from within.
“Welcome to the 20th floor, you have ten breaths to prepare.”
Lu Yun’s eyes narrowed, staring hard at the tornado, attempting to discern any mystery within.
Time passed swiftly and he discerned nothing, the scenery abruptly shifted, and he found himself inside a grand hall.
The hall was spacious and tall, strikingly immense, a dozen feet high and equally wide.
What surprised him was that within this hail, he felt a mysterious power had sealed his Dantian; he could not utilize the Pure Yang Aura.
The only forces available to him were his physical strength and the Slaughter Conception.
“Such a drastic change between the 19th and 20th floor?’1
Lu Yun couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Swish, swish I
Suddenly, the hall showcased a silver brilliance that gradually retracted, revealing a figure.
He was dressed in a silver robe, with long hair draped over his shoulders, sharp features, deep starry eyes, a tall nose, and a lofty disposition that could captivate any woman.
Lu Yun stared at this figure in surprise, “why does he look exactly like me?”
His chilling demeanor even outshone himself, the real Lu Yun.
“For a mere True Qi Realm adept to reach this place, not bad at all!” sneered the silver “Lu Yun”. “However, I advise you not to hold back, otherwise once 1 attack, you won’t have the ability to retaliate.”
“You are even more arrogant than me, the original!” Lu Yun laughed in anger.
“Kill!”
In an angry roar, two gazes as sharp as knives shot out.
Whoosh!
Blood-red Killing Intent immediately swept in, rapidly shredding the ripples in the air. The illusory sword radiance flickered and vanished, others might not see this blood-red blade light, but Lu Yun could feel it viscerally.
A slicing sound suddenly echoed, the Lu Yun’, who looked identical to him, immediately froze. Following rhe slash of a blade, he was cut into halves.
Faint sounds echoed.
Lu Yun saw his impostor had been cleaved into two, seemingly lifeless, turning into a faint silver light.
“Even without the Pure Yang Aura, killing you is like slaughtering a dog!” Lu Yun smirked.
Martial Arts Conception, though it cannot manifest physically, doesn’t mean it cannot be used to kill enemies.
It can even suppress enemies and enhance one s strength.
Lu Yun’s Slaughter Conception had reached 50% of the First Rank, which suppressed the opponent the moment it was released.
A match between masters is decided in an instant.
“However, the 20th floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower shouldn’t be this simple!”
Having dispatched his doppelganger, Lu Yun did not let his guard down, but carefully surveyed his surroundings.
Swish!
The silver light in the hall slowly gathered, and another familiar voice appeared again.
“Hmm? You can regenerate your physical body?” Lu Yun s eyes narrowed. Meanwhile, his grip tightened on the White Scale Purple Gold Knife. His Slaughter Conception flooded into the blade, allowing the red Killing Intent to pervade a ten-foot radius around him.
“Bagging Martial Arts Conception wasn’t expected” sneered the Silver Robe Lu Yun”. “However, dreaming to pass the 20th floor of Myriad Phenomena Tower with just 50% of the First Rank Slaughter Conception, dream on!”
Rumble!
As he spoke, his aura skyrocketed, exuding a terrifying Killing Intent that pushed against Lu Yun’s Slaughter Conception’s range.
At the same time, he clenched his right hand, ripples of space appeared, and a long knife condensed out.
Impressive, this knife head and the White Scale Purple Gold Knife in Lu Yun’s hand were exactly the same.
Kill!
Suddenly, for no reason, a terrifying aggressive aura overwhelmed him, and Lu Yun couldn’t help but step back a few paces.
The moment that aggressive aura spread, Lu Yun knew that the other party was also using the Slaughter Conception, and it was already very close to the Second Rank.
it was precisely for this reason that the collision of the two Slaughter Conceptions nearly caused his own to collapse, forcing him to retreat.
At this moment, the silver-robed Lu Yun’ had already attacked.
Splurt!
Under the almost Second Rank Slaughter Conception, the blade of the ‘Lu Yun’s’ knife in the silver robe spouted radiance, resembling a river of blood.
Under the Martial Arts Conception, the radiating blade and sword Qi were much more substantial and terrifying than those slashed out by True Qi or True Origin.
“The resemblance and the White Scale Purple Gold Knife are the same, even the Martial Arts Conception is the same?” Lu Yun thought to himself, “It seems that from the twentieth floor onwards, the Myriad Phenomena Tower tests the level of Martial Arts Conception. The Conception of the opponent at this level is at the peak of the First Rank, much higher than mine, the chance of winning is not great, but
“Isn’t this the purpose of the Myriad Phenomena Tower? As long as 1 stand undefeated, 1 might be able to improve the Slaughter Conception…”
Lu Yun still clearly remembered that Chen Tianyun had said that the Myriad Phenomena Tower, the Heart Inquiry Pavilion, and the Thousand Illusion Hall all served a similar purpose.
“Prepare to die!”
In a blink of an eye, silver-robed ‘Lu Yun’ was already striking.
Whoosh!
A more than ten feet long, blood-red sword radiance, instantly tore through the quiet hall, leaving a red afterimage.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The space trembled violently, this sword radiance bolstered by the Slaughter Conception was incredibly concentrated, and its power was far more terrifying.
“Humph, even though my Slaughter Conception has only reached 50% of the First Rank, that doesn’t mean I’m weaker than you!”
Lu Yun let out a cold snort in his heart, shook his long knife, and killed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The collision of the Slaughter Conceptions, the blood-red Killing Intent constantly churned, and Lu Yun, relying on his strong physical strength, forcefully resisted this terrifying suppressive power.
Immediately, with a fierce chop, he forcefully blocked the silver-robed youth who was rushing towards him.
“He actually blocked it? But that’s all!”
Before the knife had fully fallen, the ground of the great hall began to crack and collapse, as if there were forces of the five elements tearing them apart. Blocks of bricks floated up, and quickly shattered under the fierce knife Qi and rampaging Killing Intent.
In the next instant, a knife, like a shooting star, burst out a red glow, pulling out several feet of flaming tail. The flame tail was entwined with blood-red Killing Intent and knife Qi, creating a sizzling sound. It seemed to bring a slaughter-filled world, pressing towards Lu Yun.
“Bring it on! ’
Lu Yun’s eyes were cold, and the Star Robe on his body flared out without any wind, blowing backward. Both his hands tightly gripped the White Scale Purple Gold Knife, pouring in a powerful force. Meanwhile, the Blood Lotus in the Sea of Consciousness Space seemed to be under tremendous pressure and traction, trembling continuously.
He struck a knife slowly, seemingly very slow, but in fact it was an extremely swift and heavy strike. There was a faint feeling of invisible forces colliding and shaking in the hall, the space seemed a little unstable, and the creaking sound kept echoing.
Under this fierce confrontation, Lu Yun could feel his own blood flowing faster and faster. He could even feel the trembling of the blood-colored lotus platform in the Sea of Consciousness Space.
Splurt!
In the end, Lu Yun was sent flying directly.
The suppression of the peak First Rank Slaughter Conception was too great for him. This move ended undoubtedly with Lu Yun’s defeat.
However, rather than calling it a defeat, it would be more accurate to call it a sort of success.
Because he found that his Slaughter Conception seemed to have slightly improved.
“Hmm?” The silver-robed youth’s face showed a trace of surprise, “He actually blocked it again?”
Clash!
The Killing Intent surged wildly, transforming into an afterimage. The whole space seemed to tremble, and the blood-colored knife Qi extended out, slashing towards Lu Yun again.
“Hmph!” Lu Yun let out a cold snort, rook a step forward, the surrounding bloody world violently shook. Then, rhe White Scale Purple Gold Knife in his hand fell from top to bottom, without any muddiness, smooth as can be.
With a drop of the knife, the air rippled like water, vertically split open.
