Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Chapter 159 Planetary Level , Self-Created Sword Technique! [ words long chapter, please subscribe]

In front of the towering Trial Tower.

Lin Ye stood at the entrance and looked up.

It's like an ant looking up at the sky, feeling so small and humble.

At this time, on a red stone pillar to the left of the entrance to the Trial Tower, lines of black relief text appeared:

[Name: Lin Ye (male)]

[Trial Tower Points: 0]

[Trial Tower Level: 0]

"Lin Ye, you haven't started the official tower challenge yet, so everything here is zero. When you actually pass it, the information will change accordingly."

Chan'er's explanation echoed in his mind, and he immediately understood.

"However, the Trial Tower will limit your strength and speed to the first-order planetary level. It will test your force amplitude and combat reaction."

Hearing Chan'er's words, Lin Ye nodded gently and asked, "Are all the people on the 999th floor the same planetary level as me?"

"Of course not. Every hundred levels, the power you use can be upgraded to a higher level, provided that your actual realm can reach that level... otherwise, there is no way to force it to work!"

"I see. It looks like the upcoming battle will be very intense!"

"Of course. The existence of the Trial Tower is mainly to constantly force out your potential talents, thereby constantly raising your upper limit."

"After the trial tower is over, I prepared a gravity room and a training room for you. The effect is very good when they work together!"

"Okay!" Lin Ye showed a smile on his face, and then stepped into the first floor of the Trial Tower.

In a moment, a set of Vulcan suit, a red flame sword, and a six-sided shield appeared in front of Lin Ye.

Without any hesitation, he quickly put on the combat uniform.

At the same time, there are sixteen first-level force throwing knives.
"Young Master Lin Ye, I wish you success in the Trial Tower."

"Yeah." Lin Ye took a deep breath and immediately walked towards the pitch-black entrance of the first floor.

……

hum! !

The space changed, and Lin Ye seemed to have suddenly entered a barren Gobi Desert.

The wind and sand were blowing everywhere, and the whole space was dark.

The dull and depressing atmosphere flowed silently, but Lin Ye's eyes were shining, and he was not affected at all.

"Young Master Lin Ye, I suggest that you do not use your domain in the Trial Tower yet. Let's see how far you can go with your strength and combat skills!"

"However...if you fail to kill all your opponents within the specified time, it will still be considered a failure!"

Chan'er's voice echoed throughout the desert Gobi.

"Thank you for the reminder. Then I won't use the domain for now. I'll pass the level with swordsmanship and combat skills first!" Lin Ye remained motionless.

The mental power spread silently and stopped at a distance of one thousand meters.

This distance allows him to best control all changes around him and react at any time.

At the same time, a flying knife floated out from his combat uniform around Lin Ye, the blade emitting a sharp edge.

"I'm ready, let's get started!"

"Okay! In the first level you will face, ten giant armored scorpions!"

Lin Ye silently clenched his sword, his nerves quietly tense.

Even though this was just a trial, he still treated it as a real fight and took it seriously.

Chan'er, who was sunbathing somewhere in the virtual space, was very satisfied with this look.

At this moment, the girl took off her white dress and put on a cool bikini. She was lying on a beach chair, sipping lemon iced tea leisurely and enjoying the cool sea breeze.

Beside Chan'er, a screen divided into nine sections was broadcasting Lin Ye's battle process in all directions.

Suddenly, ten huge balls of ochre-colored light flashed up and floated thousands of meters away from Lin Ye.

Look around.

The light balls quickly condensed into giant scorpions that were ten meters long, about three meters tall, and had a huge head.

These giant scorpions are covered with earth-yellow scales, especially on their backs, which have a string of hideous barbs.

The breath fluctuations released by these giant armored scorpions have all reached the second planetary level!

They exude the glow of fine steel and look extremely hard.

Although its size is not as big as the king-level monsters in reality, it looks even more powerful in Lin Ye's eyes.

The power is also fully concentrated along with the body size!
The moment they appeared, their pairs of scarlet compound eyes, flashing with cruelty, locked onto Lin Ye.

The huge pincers were raised high and swung with a cold light.

interesting!
Lin Ye stared at these giant armored scorpions closely and immediately withdrew his flying knife.

Today, he will confront it head-on!
See how much your swordsmanship has improved.

A lineup of ten planetary-level second-level warriors is already a very powerful lineup for ordinary planetary-level warriors.

But Lin Ye has experienced the trial of the Venerable and faced thousands of opponents of the same level. His combat experience and mentality are extremely stable.

Even without the enhancement of the Nirvana realm, he still has strong self-confidence.

In his eyes, these giant scorpions were not a threat at all.

His eyes lit up, and he shouted in a low voice: "First Slash of Absolute Breath!"

Buzz! !

At the Dantian location, two rotating miniature planets were emitting a crimson glow.

Genetic energy was activated continuously, and a dazzling red light flashed on the long sword at the same time.

This is the genetic energy of the fire attribute.

It was also in the trial ground set up by Venerable Fenchen that he became more proficient in releasing his genetic energy through constant battles, as if he were using his own arms.

"Roar!"

"laugh!"

A sharp roar resounded throughout the wasteland, and the sound waves rolled in and raged in all directions.

Amidst the piercing and strange cries, all the iron-backed giant scorpions transformed into clusters of dim yellow shadows and rushed over.

"call out!"

The fiery red light flashed and disappeared, and Lin Ye had already rushed up.

laugh!
A blade light like a pillar of fire dropped from the sky and slashed down with a loud bang.

There was no power to resist, and even no time to dodge.

One of the giant iron-backed scorpions was beheaded in an instant. The blade's trajectory was hundreds of meters long, leaving a deep mark in the thick yellow sand.

Flames shot up into the sky, burning the ground in darkness.

Soon, everything returned to normal.

After one of their companions was killed, the remaining Ironback monitors all looked terrified. The guy in front of them was simply too terrifying!

Whether it was the strength, speed, or the ghostly movements that were so seductive that even their compound eyes could not catch them, it all brought great pressure.

"You are stunned. Then I won't be polite to you!"

A cruel smile appeared on Lin Ye's lips, and he turned into a stream of red light again.

call out!call out!call out!
Afterimages crisscrossed and shuttled between the nine-headed iron-backed giant scorpions.

The terrifying power brought about by the fight caused the yellow sand ground to tremble and dust to explode.

Wherever Lin Ye passed, the strong wind pressure would inevitably roll up a huge column of wind with astonishing power.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"..."

It was also accompanied by a series of shattering sounds.

Lin Ye's wrist was waving at an indiscernible speed, and in an instant he stabbed dozens of times in succession.

Each strike was aimed at the vital points of the Iron-backed Scorpion.

"Slow, such a slow speed!"

With his domain-level skills, Lin Ye felt no pressure in facing these planetary monitors.

The battle between masters is different from the fierce battle between warriors and beast generals. The victory or defeat is often decided in a moment.

Lin Ye's figure slowly gathered at the location of the iron-backed giant scorpion, standing with a knife in his hand, looking heroic.

And the enemies have all been killed!

Any one of these planetary-level second-level giant scorpions can make the fortress feel despair.

However, in Lin Ye's eyes, they are nothing but scum!

At the same time, three lines of text appeared in front of Lin Ye's eyes——

[Name: Lin Ye (Male)] [Trial Tower Points: 10]

[Trial Tower Level: 1]

"Good, we finally achieved a breakthrough!"

Likewise, a ball of crimson light engulfed all the giant scorpion corpses and turned into a ball of light the size of a basketball.

The light dissipated, revealing the real object inside - ten wood crystals!

Lin Ye glanced at the white crystal that was emitting a bright light and fragrance, and smiled.

Then, he sent a wisp of his consciousness to scan the information panel.

"Ten planetary-level second-level giant scorpions have helped me improve my [realm] and [mental power] by 2%."

"Not bad!" He waved his hand and collected the ten wood crystals.

Although they are in a virtual space, Chan'er said that any treasures obtained here can be exchanged with her in reality.

Therefore, Lin Ye also wanted to see how much resources he could obtain through his own efforts.

"Then go ahead!"

Then, he walked towards a circular red arch not far away. When he stepped into the arch, it was as if he was passing through a swirling water curtain.

The entire trial tower is divided into nine hundred and ninety-nine floors. You have to kill your way up from the bottom step by step. The higher you go, the stronger the monsters on each floor, and the greater the obstacles you encounter.

Similarly, the more levels you pass, the stronger your strength will naturally be!

It is easy to instantly kill ten planetary-level second-order giant scorpions from the first layer of yellow sand.

When Lin Ye reached the second level of the wild grassland and fought against twenty demon bull monsters, he felt the difficulty increase.

In the crater of the third floor, he faced thirty planetary-level second-order two-headed fire snakes and clearly felt the pressure when fighting.

Thirty giant snakes with sixty heads kept attacking, making Lin Ye seem a little overwhelmed.

In the end, he had to rely on his body skills to avoid the sharp edge first, and then look for opportunities to kill them one by one.

These fire snakes, covered in heavy armor and with huge barbs, have extremely good reactions and fire resistance.

Lin Ye's own strength is not enough to break their defenses. He can only rely on the power of "Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath" to break the defenses and kill them.

However, these powerful fire snakes also provided Lin Ye with a lot of combat experience and progress in improving his realm.

As the 30th fire snake fell to the ground, Lin Ye took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering the strength and genetic energy consumed in his body.

While resting quietly, he was also thinking about all the gains and losses of his swordsmanship in the previous battle, as well as his good and bad points, and would improve if there were any mistakes, and encourage himself if there were none!
After all, this was Lin Ye’s first time in the Trial Tower, and he gained a lot.

It's different from the fierce attack when fighting monsters.

Lin Ye felt that the monsters in the trial tower were all very intelligent, and they could dodge and fight back.

They could even communicate during the battle, surrounding and attacking Lin Ye, leaving him with no time to spare.

"This trial tower is really interesting."

At this moment, Lin Ye realized that although he was in a virtual space, all his feelings were real.

"If I continue at this pace, after passing the fifth level, I will probably be able to break through to the third level of the planetary level."

Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart, and immediately entered a deeper level of cultivation and recovery.

Virtual space, beach land.

"Hahaha, the young master is really amazing. He connected the three floors of the trial tower in one breath." A voice like a loud bell sounded beside Chan'er.

She tilted her head slightly and saw that it was Huo Rong who appeared here, wearing a pair of flowery shorts and a flowery shirt.

"Of course he is amazing. As we all know, the master's vision is not very good. I didn't expect that this time he would choose a disciple like Lin Ye who has such a monstrous talent and comprehension."

The coolly dressed girl had bright eyes as she stared at the young man on the screen who was fighting forty giant wolves of the same level in the forest.
The pink lips took a sip of iced lemonade and couldn't help but sigh: "But Lin Ye's only shortcoming is that the genes of earthlings are very ordinary, and it will be difficult to practice in the future."

"Why not just take over someone else's body?"

Holding up a large bucket of fat house happy water, Huo Rong began to drink it up. "Hiccup~ Master has so many secret methods of possessing other bodies, and there are so many powerful races in the universe... If there is a suitable one, can't the little master possess the body to improve the genes?"

"..." Hearing this, Chan'er did not agree, but shook her head gently: "The matter of taking over a body not only depends on whether you can meet the right person, but also depends on respecting Lin Ye's wishes."

"You can't force it!"

"Oh~" Huo Rong continued to drink the happy water in big gulps after hearing this. After drinking it to his satisfaction, he continued, "If we don't take over someone else's body, then wouldn't it be possible to make up for the genetic defects if he has a few more clones in the future?"

"This... is something we can consider." Zhen nodded slightly, a strange light flashed in Chan'er's eyes, as if she agreed with this matter, and then continued to look at the screen.

In the scene, Lin Ye had killed forty giant gray wolves one by one, and was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, recovering continuously.

Within a radius of three thousand meters, all kinds of towering ancient trees fell down everywhere, and the entire land was in a mess, as if it had been plowed back and forth by an iron plow.

"hu~hu~"

With every breath, Lin Ye's mood became more peaceful and stable.

After recovering, he headed towards the fifth floor...

Time flies, and three days have passed in a flash.

In three days, Lin Ye fought his way from the first floor to the ninth floor of the Trial Tower, but was eventually defeated by a giant deep-sea whale on the tenth floor.

Despite the failure, he also gained a lot.

Among them, the biggest gain.

It was his warrior and mental power that broke through to the third planetary level at the same time!

After the beginning of autumn, the southwestern fortress began to experience continuous autumn rain.

Accompanied by the cold autumn wind, there is a deep feeling of "the autumn wind and rain make people depressing".

Perhaps it was because Lin Ye killed too many middle and high-level lords in the past few days.

Today, the entire southwest fortress area is experiencing unprecedented peace.

In the wilderness, large-scale beast movements are rarely seen.

It seemed as if all the lords were lying in wait.

Occasionally, there would be small-scale animal riots, but they would also be suppressed by the fortress.

Standing on the city wall of the Southwest Fortress, Lin Ye looked at the drizzling rain in front of him and thought of Shancheng City and his relatives.

My longing for you is like this continuous drizzle, it never stops!
It's like a surging river, out of control!
The sword technique can show endless dominance and power through wide opening and closing, and can also show endless resilience through continuity.

At this moment, the countless sword techniques from "Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath" and the spiritual imprint left by the Venerable Fenchen appeared in Lin Ye's mind, allowing him to browse through them in a hurry.
After years of accumulation, he suddenly had an epiphany.

"Miss you! The raindrops become threads!"

Lin Ye whispered softly.

"call!!"

He just flew up, holding the red flaming sword in his hand and swung it out.

This sword, which was filled with longing, instantly aroused the genetic energy in the body and gathered directly on the sword.

"Wow!!"

The knife was chopped out in an instant, like a huge fire phoenix spreading its wings, flying freely in the endless rain curtain, taking away Lin Ye's endless thoughts.

“Zizzizi!!!”

In an instant, the air was torn apart and a large amount of rain was evaporated.

White mist rose between heaven and earth and quickly spread out, like a fairyland.

"I finally created my own sword technique!"

Looking at the sparse white mist rising, Lin Ye's joy was beyond words.

"Let's call this sword 'Cut the Rain'!"

Scratching his head, Lin Ye suddenly felt that the name he had chosen was actually quite nice.

“Ding ding ding ding!!!”

At this moment, an emergency call sounded from the communication watch.

Lin Ye looked down and saw that the call was from Kyoto headquarters, so he connected directly -

"Commander Lin, satellite monitoring has detected that three king-level monsters, the Deep Sea Demon Whale, the East Sea Azure Dragon, and the Sea Angry Shark, are flying over the East China Sea and approaching the southeast of Daxia. Their target seems to be the Jiangnan Fortress."

Jia Yi's voice sounded over there, very anxious.

"Are there any beast tidal waves following these three king-level monsters?!"

"Yes! It's a huge black mass of beasts. They look like they are here to give the evil Black Dragon King a fight!"

"Okay, leave them to me! You directly order the Jiangnan Fortress and nearby shelters and fortresses to begin to move. At the same time, order all the war gods in the surrounding fortresses to gather in Jiangnan to resist the beast tide together."

"Don't worry, the Vulcan suit flies very fast!"

"Okay!" Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to make arrangements.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ye communicated directly with Chan'er: "Chan'er, arrange for the intelligent fighter planes, there are monsters invading."

"no problem!"
