Chapter 502: Chapter 499: Looking Up_1

“It’s been so many years since someone reached the seventeenth floor.” Steward Xu looked at the light of the seventeenth floor with surprise in his eyes.

For Beishan Main City, the seventeenth floor was an unattainable achievement. Besides Huang Taiji, who had appeared long ago, and Yun Han Dao, who reached the seventeenth floor and stopped at the eighteenth floor, very few people had reached the seventeenth floor.

Even those who reached the seventeenth floor mostly ended in failure!

And now, Yang Chen had reached the seventeenth floor!

Steward Xu had a sudden bad feeling in his heart: “So many geniuses in Beishan Main City have stopped at the seventeenth floor. I hope this kid has already used up most of his True Qi and eventually stops at the seventeenth floor.”

At this moment, the person who had claimed that Yang Chen would never pass the fifteenth floor no matter what had already shut his mouth.

Quiet.

Many people didn’t know how to discuss the current situation.

More so, they just stared at the change in the number of floors of the Trial Tower. Many people had been completely convinced by Yang Chen. If Yang Chen was just a genius, they might be unconvinced, but faced with a demon – what reason did they have not to be convinced?

The gap between them and Yang Chen was too great.

At the same time, Yang Chen and the Sand Soldiers of the seventeenth floor had also entered the battle.

“Goodness, the difficulty of the Sand Soldiers on the seventeenth floor has increased much more than the sixteenth floor. It seems that after the fifteenth floor, it’s an uphill battle.” Yang Chen murmured to himself.

These seventeen Sand Soldiers surrounded him. Their sand spears kept poking him, forcing him to retreat and dodge.

He was very clear that the more Sand Soldiers there were, the more difficult they were to deal with. However, when he faced the seventeen Sand Soldiers, he still felt somewhat daunted. There was no way around it – the Combined Attack Formation was more valuable the more people there were in it.

For example, a Combined Attack Formation used by six people would be worth several million Spirit Stones, which many powerful warriors could accept. But if it were a Combined Attack Formation with ten people, the price of those several million Spirit Stones would rise tenfold or even a hundredfold.

The more people there were, the more valuable the Combined Attack Formation would be.

Similarly, a Combined Attack Formation that could withstand a large number of people would also be more powerful. As the Trial Tower was created by the Imperial Dynasty, it naturally did not lack this kind of thing. The Combined Attack Formation of seventeen people, when used with these Sand Soldiers, was incredibly powerful and could sweep their peers.

Realizing this, Yang Chen said quietly: “The Combined Attack Formation used by these seventeen Sand Soldiers is indeed not to be underestimated. But it’s still far from what I’ve encountered before, like the Seven-colored Peacock and the Purple-eyed Demon Monkey. If I can defeat the Purple-eyed Demon Monkey and the Seven-colored Peacock, why would I be afraid of a few of you?”

No one could understand the true intent of the Tiandu Emperor’s Thousand Year Treasure.

However, Yang Chen could understand.

What was the real intention of the Tiandu Emperor to create the Thousand Year Treasure?

He wanted to tell the martial artists of later generations not to be proud, as they were still far behind their peers among other Demonic Beasts.

Could these Sand Soldiers using the Combined Attack Formation be invincible when they ran rampant among the Demonic Beasts?

Obviously not.

In that case, Yang Chen had no reason to fail.

The Trial Tower was just something he had to break through now. When he inherited the Tiandu Emperor’s Divine Country, his vision was no longer as shallow as that of ordinary martial artists. His vision was more far-reaching!

“These seventeen Sand Soldiers are indeed somewhat difficult to deal with, and they have prohibition blessings, making them extremely flexible. My Starfire and Demonic Fire can’t capture them; I can barely protect myself. In that case, let’s try this…” Yang Chen waved his hand.

In an instant, a nail appeared in his hand.

This nail was none other than the God Piercing Nail.

At this moment, the God Piercing Nail was the best thing for him.

These Sand Soldiers relied heavily on their numbers and the Combined Attack Formation, making them very powerful in defense. Even Yang Chen’s unparalleled Starfire couldn’t guarantee to corrode them completely. So, completely destroying these Sand Soldiers at once was not an easy task.

Therefore, the only approach was to break them one by one.

When it came to breaking through one by one, nothing was more useful than the God Piercing Nail.

The only drawback was that the God Piercing Nail was a damaged Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

With this thought in mind, Yang Chen began to size up the dozens of Sand Soldiers while holding the God Piercing Nail: “These Sand Soldiers are clever and resourceful because they have prohibition blessings. The God Piercing Nail may not guarantee a perfect success rate, so I need to be careful and use Starfire and Demonic Fire to create some gaps first!”

He had learned his lesson.

If it was the early floors, that’d be fine, but at these high levels, treating these Sand Soldiers as completely unintelligent beings would be a big mistake.

Yang Chen was fully focused at this time, knowing that at this stage of the seventeenth floor, even the slightest difference in focus could lead to failure.

As he pondered this, Starfire and Demonic Fire were unleashed simultaneously, directly surrounding the seventeen Sand Soldiers and fully attracting their attention.

Seeing this, Yang Chen knew it was time to take action!

His finger moved slightly, and the God Piercing Nail shot out.

In an instant, a flash of starlight passed by. When they came to their senses, a Sand Soldier’s head had been pierced through. Then, it turned into a pile of sand and merged with the desert.

“One down.” Yang Chen grinned.

With the first one eliminated, the remaining sixteen could be dealt with slowly. After all, once the Combined Attack Formation was broken, the deterrent power of these Sand Soldiers would be much weaker compared to the beginning.

In this way, time passed, and in about the time it took for a meal, the sixteen Sand Soldiers were wiped out by Yang Chen. As the surrounding environment changed, waves of Creation Divine Aura emerged, and Yang Chen began to absorb this Divine Aura into his body.

When the absorption and refining of the Creation Divine Aura was completed, Yang Chen slowly stood up and entered the eighteenth floor.

As he entered the eighteenth floor, the light outside the Trial Tower also changed.

The light of the eighteenth floor was so dazzling!

For a moment, the whole scene outside boiled!

At the beginning, everyone was silent, just watching. But now, they were boiling with excitement because they had witnessed an incredible arrival. This incredible existence was Yang Chen, who, after so many years, had broken through the seventeenth floor of the Trial Tower and arrived at the eighteenth floor!
