Chapter 100

Boom——

At the moment the two blue-green light rings condensed, Ye Wei's clothes fluttered without any wind, and a terrifying power that made everyone's hearts tremble suddenly erupted from his body.

Under the influence of this power, the air around Ye Wei's body rippled like water waves, creating visible ripples. In the center of these ripples, Ye Wei stood calmly. From a distance, he seemed like a demon god, as if nothing in the world could shake him even a bit!

The terrifying pressure suddenly descended, enveloping the entire hall. Although this pressure was not directed at the crowd, the faces of the more than thirty warriors, including Jin Yan, who had already reached the peak of the Ten-Star Warrior realm, turned pale, and their bodies involuntarily trembled.

"This power is too astonishing, too terrifying!" Jin Yan looked at Ye Wei with fear, his eyes flickering. He could not imagine that an apprentice realm person could suddenly unleash such powerful strength. He muttered, "This power is no weaker than that of my third grandfather!"

Jin Yan's third grandfather was the third elder of the Jin family, a Six-Star Condensation Realm powerhouse!

"Originally, it was like this..." Lin Ziyuan looked at the vast starry sky projection floating above Ye Wei's head and the faint human-shaped shadow within his body. She looked up at Puyuan, who was hidden in the blue-green light column, and understood why Ye Wei possessed such terrifying power.

"Puyuan Senior has temporarily granted Ye Wei the strength of a warrior realm, allowing him to use the Xuantian Star Transformation. Ye Wei has already mastered the first and second transformations of the Xuantian Star Transformation. With the power of the warrior realm, after further amplification, it is enough to defeat Moye!"

Thinking about the scene where Ye Wei stood in front of her and the words he said, a warm current flowed through Lin Ziyuan's heart.

"No, it's impossible!" Moye never imagined that an apprentice realm warrior he had never taken seriously could suddenly burst out with strength not weaker than a Six-Star Condensation Realm powerhouse. Moye retreated in panic, continuously writing divine patterns, trying to use the next divine skill.

Swoosh!

Ye Wei moved, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Moye. His fist, filled with terrifying power, rained down on Moye like a storm.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The bone-cracking sounds that made everyone's hearts tremble echoed in the hall. In an instant, Ye Wei had already delivered hundreds of punches. The terrifying power in his fists shattered Moye's bones, organs, and caused blood to flow from his seven orifices.

Boom!

Ye Wei delivered another punch, this time landing on Moye's dantian. It directly shattered Moye's dantian.

Moye's body slammed heavily into the jade wall behind him. Only when Ye Wei slowly retracted his fist did Moye slide down the jade wall like a pile of meat, leaving a long, shocking trail of blood on the jade wall!

Silence!

The people in the hall, looking at Moye, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, all held their breath. Their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at Ye Wei. They never expected that Ye Wei's strength would suddenly increase to such a shocking level!

What's going on? How did Ye Wei become so strong?

Suffering such a terrifying attack, Moye's cultivation was completely ruined. If no one came to his aid, he would surely die. However, no one felt any sympathy for Moye. If it weren't for Ye Wei, they would be the ones dead!

Swoosh!

The nearly dead Moye was moved out of the temple by Puyuan.

"Let him fend for himself in the Blood Mist Valley. This is the inheritance temple left by the Ice Emperor. Killing in the temple is disrespectful to the Ice Emperor." Puyuan looked at Ye Wei and said slowly. He helped Ye Wei partly because he saw potential in him, and partly because Moye had tried to kill in the temple.

With such severe injuries, Moye probably had no chance of survival.

Soon, the human-shaped shadow in Ye Wei's body disappeared, and after half an hour, the effect of the Xuantian Star Transformation also ended, and Ye Wei returned to his original apprentice realm cultivation.

This time using the Xuantian Star Transformation gave Ye Wei a deeper understanding of the skill and made him even more eager to reach the warrior realm.

"You three have all comprehended more than eighty-one divine patterns and are qualified to participate in the second stage of the assessment. As for who will inherit the Ice Emperor's legacy, it will depend on the results of the second stage!" Puyuan looked at Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan, and his deep voice echoed in their ears.

Lin Ziyuan glanced at Ye Wei beside her. She was not particularly concerned about whether she would obtain the legacy because, once she reached the Condensation Realm, her family could provide her with many powerful legacies. Although these legacies might not be as powerful as the Ice Emperor's, she could choose one that was more suitable for her. After all, the Ice Emperor was male, and the legacy he left might not be suitable for her cultivation. For Ye Wei, however, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lin Ziyuan continued to participate in the test to help Ye Wei obtain the Ice Emperor's legacy. If Ye Wei wanted to reach the peak one day, he absolutely could not miss this opportunity!

"Go!" Puyuan waved his hand, and Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan disappeared from the hall, being teleported to an unknown place.

"As for you," Puyuan looked at Hong Xun, Xue Yao, and the more than thirty other talented warriors and said, "who can obtain the legacy of the Ice Emperor's seven attendants depends on your own fortune!"

Puyuan glanced at the seven jade pendants floating in the air, and his figure gradually faded, his deep voice echoing in everyone's minds.

"Where are we?"

Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan appeared in a void, surrounded by endless darkness, unable to see anything.

"The Floating Pagoda of Heart Demons!"

Just as Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan were at a loss, Puyuan slowly walked out of the endless darkness. Puyuan was surrounded by a blue-green glow, and with each step, the dark void beneath his feet burst into brilliant starlight.

When Puyuan reached Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan, the brilliant starlight illuminated the entire dark void, making the three feel as if they were in a vast starry sky.

"The Floating Pagoda of Heart Demons?" Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan frowned slightly, looking at Puyuan, who was surrounded by the blue-green glow, with some confusion.

"This is the place for your second stage assessment!"

Puyuan, surrounded by the blue-green glow, slowly extended his finger and pointed into the distant void. The brilliant starlight in the dark void immediately surged, and in the blink of an eye, it formed rivers of stars.

The rivers of stars converged at the position Puyuan pointed to, and in the shocked eyes of Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan, they formed an ancient pagoda.

This ancient pagoda was three stories high, its entire body glowing with brilliant starlight. In the starlight, countless divine patterns floated, mysterious and unfathomable!

"This ancient pagoda is called the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda.'" Puyuan gazed at the ancient pagoda, which was entirely glowing with brilliant starlight, and his calm voice echoed in the minds of Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan.

"The 'Starlight Floating Pagoda' has three floors. The first floor seals the lower-level heart demons, the second floor seals the middle-level heart demons, and the third floor seals the upper-level heart demons!"

"Can intangible heart demons be sealed?" Hearing this, Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan stared at the three-story ancient pagoda, their eyes filled with shock.

As everyone knew, when crossing major realms, heart demons would invade. For example, when an apprentice realm person breaks through to the warrior realm, the invading heart demon is a lower-level heart demon. When a warrior realm person breaks through to the Condensation Realm, the invading heart demon is a middle-level heart demon. When a Condensation Realm person breaks through to the Return to Origin Realm, the invading heart demon is an upper-level heart demon.

Only by resisting the heart demons can one break through to the next realm!

Heart demons are intangible and elusive, and Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan had never heard of anyone being able to seal such intangible heart demons.

"There is nothing impossible in this world. If you can't do it, it's just because your strength is not strong enough. With enough strength, heart demons can also be sealed. However, sealing heart demons is extremely difficult, and only a supreme powerhouse like the Ice Emperor has this ability!"

"Creating this 'Starlight Floating Pagoda' cost the Ice Emperor a great deal, but he felt it was worth it. This 'Starlight Floating Pagoda' is a treasure for nurturing the next generation!" Puyuan looked at Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan, smiling.

"You should all know that when breaking through to a new realm, if you can't resist the heart demons, your cultivation will be damaged, and it may take two or three years to recover!"

"But inside the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda,' it's different. If you can't resist the heart demons inside the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda,' it will directly teleport you out!"

Sigh——

Jin Yan drew a sharp breath, and his eyes turned fervent as he looked at the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda.' Only now did he understand the astonishing value of this ancient pagoda.

Jin Yan had been at the peak of the Ten-Star Warrior realm for half a year and had the qualifications to break through to the Condensation Realm. He had been hesitant to break through, fearing that he couldn't resist the heart demons.

If he couldn't resist, it would take two or three years to recover!

But inside the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda,' he could fight the heart demons without fear of damaging his foundation. Moreover, with the experience of fighting heart demons, breaking through to the next realm would be much easier!

"You two are already in the warrior realm and have resisted the lower-level heart demons. The heart demons sealed in the first floor of the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda' pose no threat to you, so your test is arranged on the second floor of the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda.'"

"The longer you persist, the greater your chances of passing the test. Even if you don't pass, the experience of fighting the heart demons will make it much easier for you to break through to the Condensation Realm." Puyuan looked at Jin Yan and Lin Ziyuan, his expression calm.

"This young man's cultivation is only in the apprentice realm, so his test is arranged on the first floor of the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda.'" Puyuan glanced at Ye Wei and said.

"I will send all three of you into the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda' at the same time. The one who persists the longest will inherit the Ice Emperor's legacy!" Puyuan's gaze swept over Jin Yan and Lin Ziyuan and finally rested on Ye Wei. Ye Wei had comprehended the Xuantian Star Transformation in the jade wall and perfected the second transformation of the Xuantian Star Transformation in just three days, showing talent far surpassing the Ice Emperor's in his youth!

Puyuan, of course, hoped that the one to inherit the Ice Emperor's legacy would be Ye Wei, and he had high hopes for him!

Of course, who among Ye Wei, Jin Yan, and Lin Ziyuan would ultimately inherit the Ice Emperor's legacy would depend on the results of the second stage test, a rule set by the Ice Emperor that Puyuan dared not violate.

"Xiao Wei, no matter how powerful the heart demons are, just hold onto your true self!" Lin Ziyuan transmitted a message to Ye Wei.

"Okay!" Ye Wei nodded.

The two looked at each other, understanding everything without words.

"Go!" Puyuan waved his hand, and three blue-green light columns shot towards Ye Wei, Lin Ziyuan, and Jin Yan. In the next moment, the three were teleported into the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda.'

Lin Ziyuan and Jin Yan appeared on the second floor, while Ye Wei appeared on the first floor!

In the first floor of the 'Starlight Floating Pagoda.'

The moment Ye Wei appeared in the hall, the countless divine patterns covering the entire hall began to flow like water waves.
