Chapter 59

"Hmph." Huang Yu let out a cold snort. Attempting to possess his body was too naive. After all, he wasn't originally from this world. To possess him was like a dreamer's fantasy.

Lulu had once said that his soul was exceptionally powerful, even more so than those of the Fragmentation Realm warriors. This was also the reason why his cultivation progressed faster than others. Even without the All-Powerful Cultivation System, he could still make significant progress through his own efforts, though not as fast as with the system's help, but it wouldn't be much slower.

Moreover, once someone entered his mind, he was the master. Unless their soul was far superior to his, which was clearly not the case.

"Ah..."

As soon as the blood-colored figure entered Huang Yu's mind, it let out a miserable cry.

"How is this possible? How can your mind be so vast? How can your soul power be so terrifying?" The blood-colored figure shouted in disbelief.

It was utterly terrified. When attempting to possess someone, encountering a person with strong willpower and soul power was the most feared scenario. And now, he faced exactly that. This young man had only cultivated for a dozen years, yet his soul power was so formidable. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if he had started cultivating from birth, or even in the womb, it wouldn't be this powerful!

"There are many things you don't know." Huang Yu no longer hesitated. His powerful soul power transformed into flying knives, attacking the blood-colored figure fiercely.

"Raging Thunder Dragon."

In his mind, thunder dragons roared, and purple thunder dragons, with formidable momentum, charged at the blood-colored figure.

"Ah... I refuse to accept it, I refuse to accept it... I, Blood Mist True Lord, have roamed the world for tens of thousands of years, and today I die at the hands of an unknown nobody. I refuse to accept it... I refuse to accept it..." A mournful, resentful cry echoed from the blood-colored figure.

"Refusal means nothing; you must die." Huang Yu let out a clear whistle, and with a stretch of his right hand, he held the Purple Extreme Sword.

"Raging Thunder Dragon."

The long sword in his hand transformed into a thunder dragon, its power greatly increased, instantly shattering the blood-colored figure, turning it into pure soul power, which merged into Huang Yu's body.

"Ding, congratulations, player's cultivation has advanced to the Fourth Layer of the Human Infant Realm."

It was exhilarating, too exhilarating. Huang Yu didn't know the background of the blood-colored figure, but its soul power was incredibly pure, allowing him to directly break through his bottleneck, advancing from the Third Layer of the Human Infant Realm to the Fourth Layer.

After killing the blood-colored figure, Huang Yu's consciousness returned to his body. The disaster that had filled the sky instantly disappeared, revealing the large cultivation room he was originally in.

The door leading to the eighth floor was already open.

"Did I just pass the seventh floor?" Huang Yu felt a bit surprised. What exactly was the seventh floor? Even now, he still didn't understand what was going on.

"Master, congratulations on your cultivation breakthrough." Lulu appeared at this moment.

"Lulu, is it really you? What just happened?" Huang Yu asked, "What's the background of that blood-colored figure?"

"Master, you were just incredibly lucky." Lulu said.

"What do you mean?"

"It's like this. The original purpose of building the Lingyun Tower was not for cultivation or to rank people. These Lingyun Towers were built to suppress evil spirits. People entering them were just to weaken the power of these evil spirits." Lulu explained, "At first, the first five floors of the Lingyun Tower's Sky Ranking List didn't exist. Later, great cultivators used their supreme abilities to add five floors to the Sky Ranking List, turning it into the current Lingyun Tower for challenges and potential testing."

"The original purpose of the Lingyun Tower was to suppress evil spirits?" Huang Yu was shocked. This explanation was hard for him to believe.

"Yes, in ancient times, evil spirits roamed freely. To suppress them, great cultivators built these Lingyun Towers, bringing peace to the entire continent."

"So, the blood-colored figure I encountered was one of the sealed evil spirits?" Huang Yu asked.

"Yes, the blood-colored figure is called Blood Mist True Lord. In ancient times, he was a formidable figure, reaching the Fragmentation Realm. However, at that time, he wasn't considered much. In the Lingyun Tower of Seven Waters City, there are other evil spirits sealed, some of which are much stronger. On Lingyun Peak, they are even stronger. However, this guy was lucky. Ten years ago, a small crack appeared in the Lingyun Tower, and Blood Mist True Lord escaped through it, though his power was greatly diminished, leaving only his soul." Lulu said, "Unfortunately, Master's power is too weak. Otherwise, you could have extracted Blood Mist True Lord's memories, gaining his lifetime of experience, which would be the most valuable."

"One shouldn't be too greedy. Being able to absorb his soul power and advance one level is already quite good." Huang Yu said calmly, "But, there will be opportunities in the future, right?"

"Master, you really want to have your cake and eat it too."

"Cough, cough..." Huang Yu quickly changed the subject, "Lulu, what's the situation on the eighth floor now?"

"Don't worry, Master. Since you've already passed the seventh floor and killed Blood Mist True Lord, why worry about the eighth floor? In fact, compared to the seventh floor, the eighth and ninth floors are much easier. Since Master cultivates the Raging Thunder Dragon Technique, which is the bane of the eighth and ninth floors, they pose no difficulty for you. However, the tenth floor is likely beyond your current capabilities."

"The tenth floor, reaching the tenth floor is already very satisfying. After all, my cultivation is still too weak, and my experience is insufficient." Huang Yu said, though he was a bit不服气 (unwilling to accept it). If he could pass the eighth and ninth floors, would the tenth floor be that difficult?

Upon entering the eighth floor, it was indeed as Lulu had said. Here, he faced numerous ghosts. Huang Yu cultivated the Raging Thunder Dragon Technique, and thunder, being the most pure and yang force in heaven and earth, was the bane of these ghosts. If it were someone else, these ghosts, though not very powerful, equivalent to the Human Infant Realm, would be impossible to deal with because they had no physical form.

"Raging Thunder Dragon."

Huang Yu swung his long sword, and thunder dragons emerged, terrifying the ghosts, which scattered in panic. However, the space was too small, and they couldn't escape. Instantly, the ghosts were devoured by the thunder dragons and dissipated in the air.

The eighth floor was passed.

Without stopping, Huang Yu entered the ninth floor.

The ninth floor was filled with zombies, countless zombies with grotesque faces, green faces, and fangs, similar to those in movies from his previous life, but not as slow. On the contrary, they moved extremely quickly, surrounding Huang Yu the moment he appeared.

"Disgusting." Huang Yu felt depressed, swinging his Purple Extreme Sword wildly, and lightning rained down from the sky.

"Ding, congratulations, player's Raging Thunder Dragon Technique has advanced."

"Ding, congratulations, player has learned the skill Nine Heavens Lightning."

The Raging Thunder Dragon Technique advanced? Huang Yu was surprised. He never expected it to advance at this moment. He thought it would only advance when he reached the Spirit Realm. Not only did it advance, but he also learned a new skill, Nine Heavens Lightning.

Huang Yu checked his attributes.

Although his level didn't increase, his strength had undergone a tremendous change, from a few hundred combat power to several thousand.

He was much stronger now. If he encountered Chen Hongqiao again, even without using the Soul Confusion Technique, he could easily defeat or even kill him.

...

"Huang Yu has broken through the seventh floor."

"So fast."

"Good heavens, he's already broken through the eighth floor and is heading to the ninth floor."

"Too fast, did the eighth floor not have any obstacles?"

"How did he do it?"

"It must be a problem with the Lingyun Tower. Yes, there must be a problem with the Lingyun Tower. Otherwise, how could he pass the eighth floor with almost no pause?"

"Look, look, he's broken through the ninth floor too."

"Is he even human?"

"A monster, absolutely a monster. Even a thousand years ago, Broken Heaven Spirit was far behind. When he broke through the eighth and ninth floors, it took him half a month."

"The first person on the Seven Waters City Sky Ranking List is no longer in doubt."

"I wonder if he can break through the tenth floor. Broken Heaven Spirit failed at the tenth floor. It's said that he was expelled as soon as he entered the tenth floor. Can Huang Yu break through?"

"The tenth floor is a threshold. Compared to the first nine floors, the difficulty of the tenth floor is ten times greater. It's not easy to pass. Huang Yu definitely can't pass, but how long he can hold out is unknown."

"I bet he can break through the tenth floor. At the beginning, who believed he could break through the fifth floor?"

"Right, I believe he can create a miracle. I hope he can break through to the twentieth floor and set a new record for the entire True Martial Continent."

"Daydreaming."
