Looking at the phantom in front, Yu Tianjun swung his fist. He didn't use any techniques, only pure intent.
"Boom!" After exchanging a single punch, he immediately retreated to examine his body.
"Is this the physique of a Primordial Being?" Yu Tianjun looked at his fist with a hint of surprise. His physical body was now even more resilient than before, and its explosive power was astonishing. In terms of physical body, he had already reached the peak of the God-Venerable realm! No wonder why, in the Primeval Era, even if all races united, they still couldn't completely defeat the Primordial Beings. Not only were their forms massive and their divine abilities powerful, but their hardness was even more terrifying; perhaps only a few could injure them. Furthermore, according to Rong's memories, the bodies of the Primeval Colossal Beasts were not inferior to the Primordial Beings in the slightest. It was just that they didn't participate in the war back then; only occasionally would one appear, and they were very mysterious!
"Huh! Compared to the bodies of the Primeval Demon Race, this is even more domineering. I wonder what insights I'll gain when I go to the outside world!" The Primordial Soul also spoke. Of course, by "outside world," it meant outside this Inner World.
"Even closer to heaven and earth! Huh! I also want to experience what it feels like to be a Primordial Being, hehe! I wonder if they will still possess the Primordial physique when they revive!" Yu Tianjun said with a dark glint in his eyes, smiling.
"If it's truly as Rong's inherited memories suggest, that they willingly entered Samsara, then they must have left behind quite a few methods, waiting for the day of their revival." The Primordial Soul said.
"Huh! We'll investigate that later! I want to see what the tenth floor of this Trial Pagoda hides." Yu Tianjun and the Primordial Soul exchanged a few words, then he swung his fist again. It was still just physical strength and intent; his Fist Intent had already touched the boundary of the second stage!
"Boom!" With another clash, Yu Tianjun retreated. This time, he and the phantom were evenly matched. He hadn't fully mastered this body yet.
"Huh?!? Something's not right! How can this body... resonate with intent?!?" Yu Tianjun once again assessed his body in surprise.
"It's not by chance that Primordial Beings reach the Chaos Realm just by growing up! So that's how it is..." The Primordial Soul sighed.
"You mean it's because of the Primordial body!" Yu Tianjun's eyes flashed. That's right, Primordial Beings, once they fully mature, possess Chaos Realm cultivation. This implies they grasp at least one type of Ultimate Power and can generate Chaos Qi. This is due to the Primordial physique!
"If that's the case, why don't they comprehend all types of Ultimate Power?" Yu Tianjun frowned. Doesn't this mean it should be even easier for Primordial Beings to comprehend Ultimate Power? Yet, only a few of them grasp two types of Ultimate Power!
"There must be some kind of restriction! For example, which type they first come into contact with... Ah!" As the Primordial Soul was speaking, they both exclaimed simultaneously. That's right! His Primordial body's first contact was with Fist Intent, which is also derived from the Power of Destruction. Therefore, once his Primordial physique fully matures, he will grasp the Power of Destruction. What an unexpected joy this is!
"Hahaha! Wahahaha..." Yu Tianjun suddenly burst into laughter. This time, he had been out for less than a year, yet he had gained many unexpected things! Originally, he only wanted to obtain the World Stone, but what he gained was infinitely more valuable than the World Stone!
"Let's deal with this phantom!" Yu Tianjun stopped laughing, looked at the phantom, and said. "Destructive Demonic Fist!" He roared softly; it was time to use his true strength!
"Boom!" The light phantom on the left was struck into a point of light, and immediately exploded, vanishing completely. Then, two more light phantoms appeared, their aura no weaker than the previous one!
"What a pity, I don't have time to play with you all!" Wu Tianjun sighed. If his blood qi were normal, he might still have time to spar with these light phantoms, but at this moment, it was truly inconvenient for him! The Power of Samsara manifested around him, instantly spreading over thirty zhang around him. The two light phantoms within that range immediately dissolved into points of light, vanishing without a trace.
"Huh! Why do I feel like I'm cheating?" Wu Tianjun muttered. In truth, he didn't know that in another space on the ninth floor, three people were continuously throwing out various talismans and jade slips to attack the light phantom, but their attacks here were heavily suppressed and couldn't cause any substantial damage to the light phantom!
"Hurry and finish this! Over there, the Demon Infant is about to refine two Saintly Herbs completely, hopefully yielding a good amount of blood qi!" The Primordial Soul said indifferently. "That World Tree is both adorable and detestable! Although it helped Wu Tianjun regenerate his blood as Primordial Blood, it also put him in a dire situation, severely lacking blood qi. It's unknown how much the two Saintly Herbs will yield after extraction."
"Hmph! If two aren't enough, I'll find ten! I don't believe ten Saintly Herbs still won't be enough! At worst, I'll just go on a robbing spree!" He said blandly, apologizing to those people for his own sake!
Soon, four light phantoms appeared within the range of the Power of Samsara. No sooner had they appeared than they began to dissolve into points of light, vanishing into thin air! He was about to pass the ninth floor.
Outside the Trial Pagoda.
"Ah! A point of light on the ninth floor has vanished! Did someone leave? I wonder who it was!" Someone said.
"Won't we know soon enough...?" Another person added.
"Tsk! How many Dao Seals will those who receive inheritances on the ninth floor get! The gap between them and us is growing even wider..." Someone sighed.
"Haha! Cultivators go against the current; if you only focus on others, how can you reach higher levels?" Someone said mockingly with a cold voice.
"Ah!..." That person started, wiping cold sweat from their forehead. "Many thanks, fellow Daoist, for the warning! I won't forget this kindness!" That person cupped their hands towards the speaker.
"No need to thank me! It's undeniable that those people are very powerful, but everyone has different opportunities. Who knows what the future holds? We must persevere on the path we've chosen!" That person continued.
"Ah! Many thanks for your guidance, fellow Daoist!" Many people looked at him with changed eyes, cupping their hands respectfully. "This is the mindset a cultivator should possess!"
"Boom!" "Crash!"...
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor; the entire grand hall and the Trial Pagoda within it shook intensely. The points of light on the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors vanished. Outside the Trial Pagoda, a group of people appeared, their eyes somewhat dazed as they looked around. They were precisely those heaven's chosen who had still been participating in the trial within the Trial Pagoda!
"What's happening? I was still breaking a formation on the seventh floor..." A young Divine Lord asked dazedly.
"The Trial Pagoda suddenly repelled us! Oh?! I received an inheritance on the eighth floor!" A Divine Lord who had been undergoing trial on the eighth floor was pushed out, saying coldly at first, then with a startled exclamation.
Among the people who had just been teleported out, three were frowning as they looked at the Trial Tower. One was Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor, one was Mo Ha Xuan, and the other was a very ordinary-looking young man. He was one of the two people Wu Tian Jun had once pointed out to Mo Ha Xuan and Xiao Long Wang!
The three of them quickly spotted each other. Immediately, the atmosphere seemed to solidify; they realized that the others, just like themselves, had reached the ninth floor! True formidable enemies!
"Hmph, hmph! This young master is truly unlucky! I encountered a formation, broke my head trying to clear the last three trials, and yet I was still teleported out..." Xiao Long Wang's voice suddenly rang out, and the gloomy atmosphere instantly melted like ice meeting the sun. Xiao Long Wang was absolutely no less capable than those three; he was just unfortunate.
Seeing this scene, Hei Feng Huang and Qing Lan Princess on the other side frowned slightly. In some respects, the two of them were already inferior to those four! The last person Wu Tian Jun had once pointed out to Mo Ha Xuan and the other individual now looked at the situation with a half-smile, licking his lips, his intentions unknown.
"Ah! That... that guy wasn't teleported out!" Suddenly, a startled voice broke the atmosphere, coming from the crowd outside the Main Inheritance Hall.
"That's right! It's him! Sure enough, he's not here..."
"Could it be that he caused this Trial Tower to close?"
The people outside immediately began to chatter noisily. Who among those present wasn't a genius from some region? Wu Tian Jun had entered the Trial Tower, effortlessly reaching the fourth floor, then stopped for nearly half an hour before suddenly disappearing. Now, there was an additional person on the ninth floor. At this point, no one doubted that the person on the ninth floor was Wu Tian Jun and no one else. Everyone else had been teleported out, but he alone remained. Only a ghost would believe this had nothing to do with him!
"Who are you talking about?!" A young man said coldly. He was training on the eighth floor! He was a super monstrous talent!
"It's that person from the Tai Gu Demon Race..." Someone replied to him. There were many geniuses from various races here, so there was no need for excessive apprehension towards each other.
"What?!" The people who had just been teleported out from inside the Trial Tower immediately asked in astonishment. How was that guy, who had been caught in the Space-Time Power, still alive? Not only that, but he had also come here to participate in the trials. That would be one thing, but for him to enter and then everyone else inside to be teleported out – this couldn't be too much of a coincidence!
"He arrived here over an hour ago! I don't know what methods he used, but he didn't seem to be unwell at all. Not only that, he passed through the Trial Tower incredibly quickly. Perhaps, it's not far off to say he went from the fourth floor to the ninth floor in a single step!" Someone explained.
"Over an hour ago..." Someone gasped, taking a cold breath. He had reached the seventh floor, so he knew how difficult it was.
"One step from the fourth floor to the ninth..." The crowd's pupils constricted as they gritted their teeth. How did that guy manage to do that?!
"Explain clearly from when he returned!" Mo Ha Xuan said to the Demon Race faction.
"It's like this..." A Demon Race young man recounted. He was Mo Lu Xing.
Wu Tian Jun was swept away to another place. He guessed it was probably taking him to the tenth floor, so he didn't resist. Feeling a little dizzy, he found himself standing in a grand hall. In the center of the hall was a not-very-tall platform, and on it lay an egg! Huh! It was an egg! It was just about the size of a human head.
"An egg?!?" Wu Tianjun said, puzzled. "There's actually an egg here?!"
