“Top in history!”
“Meng Lei has actually become number one in history!”
“He’s too impressive!”
“He’s actually successfully surpassed Timon Barton from 10,000 years ago to become the number one in history!”
“To think there’s actually a genius like that among the humans!”
“Incredible!”
In front of the Dragon God Tower, looks of astoundment appeared in students’ eyes as they gazed upon the name that had successfully reached the summit.
“No. 1: Meng Lei, Human, 16 years old, Level 79”
“Level 79 at 16-years-old! I really don’t know how he managed to do that!?”
“Yeah! How did he do that?”
“From Dragon God Tower’s 30th level onward, one has to be at least a Saint Domain if they wish to ascend further; from the 60th level onward, it’s almost impossible to proceed if they don’t have at least the strength of a high-level Saint Domain. At the 70th level, they have to be at least a pinnacle-level Saint Domain!”
“A 16-year-old pinnacle-level Saint Domain?”
“Is he a monster…”
They were astounded and perplexed. They couldn’t imagine how it had happened at all.
However, what happened next let them know that… This was just an appetizer!
Five minutes later, he reached the 80th level;
Ten minutes later, he reached the 81st level;
Fifteen minutes later, he reached the 82nd level;
And then, the 83rd level, 84th level…
Meng Lei advanced the whole way with a crushing force without even a moment’s rest until he successfully arrived at the 91st level.
By this point, the students in front of the Dragon God Tower had already become totally numb to his exploits. Only one thought remained in their minds—could he pass the trial?
…
Dragon God Tower, 91st level—this was a scorching hot world.
Ten suns hung suspended in the sky, willfully giving off light and heat. The lands were desolate and barren. There was no grass, no trees, no rivers; the only things there were boiling hot rocks and the crimson red ground.
Meng Lei stepped onto it, only to hear sizzling sounds coming from his feet—his shoes’ soles had been melted. The ground’s surface temperature was astonishingly high.
“Are there only Fire Elements here? Only fire-elemental laws of nature exist here?”
Meng Lei searched for the magic circle leading to the next level as he walked on the wide, scorching-hot land.
Screeech!
Suddenly, a crisp and clear cry traveled over from the sky. Then, innumerable fireballs descended from above.
Meng Lei looked up to see one of the suns spitting fireballs like a machine gun.
Fireballs came from above and crashed into the ground, causing booming explosions as they did.
At the sight of this, a smile immediately appeared on Meng Lei’s countenance, and he flew toward the sun hanging in the sky.
As for the huge fireballs constantly shooting down, he was able to easily evade them. They couldn’t get him at all.
Before long, Meng Lei arrived in front of the sun. The so-called “sun” wasn’t actually a real sun, but a gigantic bird whose body blazed throughout with flames and whose wingspan was more than 100-meters-wide.
“A Sunbird!”
Meng Lei was filled with marvel at once.
Sunbirds were fire-elemental Saint Domain Magical Beasts. Their prowess in the way of flames far exceeded that of ordinary fire-elemental Magical Beasts; hence they were known as the Holy Beasts of Flames.
Each of these ten Sunbirds in front of him was like pinnacle-level Saint Domain Magical Beasts, perhaps even limits-level ones.
In particular, the combat power they could exhibit in an environment like the 91st level’s firmly surpassed that of the ten Golden Colossal Dragons that Meng Lei had killed.
It was just a shame that it was still useless against him.
“Go!”
The Gods-Slaying Spear shot out.
Splurt!
Splurt!
Splurt!
Amid shrill cries, all ten Sunbirds unsurprisingly perished. Before a half-deity like Meng Lei, they didn’t even have the chance to put up any resistance!
As the ten Sunbirds plummeted onto the ground, a magic circle also appeared in the middle of the sky.
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick them up!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Fire-Elemental Laws of Nature Fragment!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Host’s Physical Body Constitution +4,869!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the fire-elemental first-class spell, Great Sun In The Sky!”
Meng Lei stepped into the magic circle and arrived at the 92nd level.
Ten minutes later, he reached the 93rd level;
Twenty minutes later, he reached the 94th level;
Thirty minutes later, he reached the 95th level;
And an hour later, Meng Lei arrived at the 99th level!
Innumerable students had assembled in front of the Dragon God Tower, and even a large number of teachers had hurried over upon hearing the news.
The 99th level!
Someone had actually gone up to the Dragon God Tower’s 99th level! Was he about to reach the summit, too?
If someone were to reach the summit…
This would no doubt be a monumental event never-before-seen in history. Everyone wanted to witness the great history-making moment with their own eyes.
“The 99th level! He’s really too impressive!”
“He’s about to ascend to the 100th level!”
“With Meng Lei’s trial-passing speed, reaching the summit won’t be a problem for him!”
“That’s true. On average, he needed only ten minutes per level. He’s pretty much the only one who could reach a speed like that…”
The people couldn’t help but sigh abjectly. Even the 20th to 30th levels were full of stumbling blocks for the average person, but look at Meng Lei—he had gone all the way to the 99th level!
Was there really such a huge gap between one and another?
Dragon God Tower, 99th level…
The Saint Domain Magical Beasts occupying the 99th level were ten limits-level Saint Domain… Golden-Eyed Guardian Lions!
Golden-Eyed Guardian Lions were the offspring of lions and the divine beast Suan Ni1. It bore a lion’s outward appearance, its whole body blazed with fireworks-like flames, and it had golden eyes.
While ten limits-level Saint Domain Golden-Eyed Guardian Lions were undoubtedly strong and mighty, they nevertheless posed no threat to Meng Lei. With just ten hammer strikes, he crushed them all.
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Metal-Elemental Laws of Nature Fragment!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained the metal-elemental first-class spell, Ultimate Alchemy!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. You have obtained a Metal-Elemental Laws of Nature Fragment!”
“These are some pretty great rewards.” Meng Lei nodded in satisfaction.
Then, just as he was about to step into the Dragon God Tower’s 100th level, something unexpected happened.
A majestic-looking man abruptly appeared in the magic circle and blocked Meng Lei’s way.
Apart from having a strong, muscular physique, there was nothing remarkable about the man’s appearance at all. He was the kind of person that one would lose sight of the moment he was thrown into a crowd.
In spite of that, Meng Lei felt a great sense of pressure at the sight of him, much like what he had felt when he had first seen a Saint Domain Magical Beast—powerless and full of trepidation and fear.
“Who are you?” Meng Lei narrowed his eyes slightly.
“The Dragon God!”
The majestic-looking man gave a shocking answer to his question.
“You’re the Dragon God?”
Meng Lei’s pupils contracted, and he tensed up severely at once as torrential waves surged and churned in his heart.
Why has the Dragon God appeared here?
“Descendant of mine, why do you not kneel upon the sight of this god?”
The majestic-looking man’s voice thundered with every word he uttered. Each word that left his mouth felt like dull, rumbling thunder in a drought—deafening and like a booming explosion.
At the same time, an overwhelming, terrifying divine power also came crashing down on Meng Lei like a great mountain as it tried to force him onto his knees.
“Your Holiness the Dragon God, you’re mistaken. I’m not your offspring.” With a slight smile, Meng Lei’s gaze swept up and down the Dragon God as he said, “If there’s nothing else, please step aside. I still need to go up the tower.”
“How dare you!” The Dragon God glowered at him. “How dare a mere half-deity disrespect this god?”
“‘This god’? You’re just a divinity projection. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
Meng Lei gave a contemptuous laugh. Then, the Hammer of Destruction appeared in his hand, and he swung it toward him.
“How impudent!”
Enraged, the Dragon God raised his right palm and smacked it down at Meng Lei.
The power of divinity surged in his palm as laws of nature gathered—it was actually a laws of nature attack imbued with the power of divinity.
“Break!”
Meng Lei, however, didn’t fear him at all. His Hammer of Destruction met him head-on.
Boom!
As hammer and palm collided, an earth-shattering explosion broke out, and Meng Lei was sent flying.
On the other hand, the Dragon God actually remained as immovable as a mountain and was still standing firmly where he was!
“To think even a divinity projection is also that powerful… As expected of an existence that has attained true godhood.”
Meng Lei licked off the blood at his lip corners as an intimidating glint burst forth from his eyes.
“How dare a lowly ant to challenge the great Dragon God! Prepare to accept my judgment!”
The Dragon God slowly rose into the air, surging power of divinity waves emanating from all around him.
Right after that, he raised a finger slightly and pressed down lightly on Meng Lei.
Boom!
The tiny little index finger instantly became a massive pillar connecting heaven and earth. The power of divinity surged from it while laws of nature flowed around it. The terrifying might it held was as if it could pierce through the heavens with just one finger.
“I can’t take that head-on!”
Meng Lei could sense the aura of death as he watched the gigantic finger crushing toward him. At once, he contacted the system.
“System, redeem credit immediately! Raise my Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate by 50%!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrunk by 500 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
Practically at the same time, his Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate also started to skyrocket quickly!
11%, 12%, 13%…
21%, 22%, 23%…
In an instant, his Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate soared to 60%!
At the same time, sticky, viscous greenish-black flames also surged out of Meng Lei’s body and started to fervently modify and enhance his body.
Boom, boom, boom!
“What fearsome power!”
His Physical Body Constitution spiked at a never-before-experienced speed as if he was riding a rocket.
As he took in the endless source of energy in his body, Meng Lei suddenly charged toward the gigantic finger.
“Break!”
The Hammer of Destruction clashed with the gigantic finger, like Mars crashing into Earth. Amid a great, deafening explosion, the gigantic finger exploded with a boom while Meng Lei was also thrown back.
“He’s actually parried the blow?”
The Dragon God stumbled slightly and looked at Meng Lei, somewhat astonished.
That blow just now was the strongest attack that he could currently launch, but Meng Lei had actually parried it.
“Hehe! I managed to parry your attack!”
Meng Lei’s eyes glittered as a hint of madness flashed across its depths.
“Since I’m going to redeem credits, then I might as well just do it all the way! System, raise my Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate to 100%!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth shrunk again, this time by 400 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
Screech!
Meng Lei roared furiously into the sky as the greenish-black flames winding around him manifested into a solid state.
Boom!
Then, the aura around him began to spike dramatically again.
“He’s become stronger again?”
The Dragon God sensed a hint of danger.
“Die, great Dragon God!”
Meng Lei gave him a cruel smile before vanishing on the spot.
“Take a strike of my hammer!”
Boom!
The hammer came at him so quickly that the Dragon God couldn’t even react in time and was struck in the head by the hammer.
As the idiom went, “Kick a man while he’s down!”
Meng Lei didn’t hold back at all. He launched into a frenzy of wild strikes and crazed bombardment, hammer strike after hammer strike, and hit after hit.
“Damn! Damn! Damn!”
The Dragon God was so mad that he roared again and again, yet there was nothing he could do about it. Meng Lei simply moved too quickly and was completely suppressing him. He couldn’t find an opportunity to counterattack at all!
Under such frenzied attacks, the Dragon God’s divinity projection became more and more transparent until it was ultimately crushed into bits and pieces and turned into glowing divine particles that disappeared into the universe.
“Foolish mortal, you will regret this!”
The Dragon God’s indignant roar reverberated in the surroundings, echoing long and hard.
“Regret? You’re thinking too much.” Meng Lei scoffed with an icy smile on his face.
No matter how powerful you may be, what can you do if you can’t come to Heaven’s Vault Continent?
Then, Meng Lei stepped into the magic circle and reached the 100th level.
“Eh?”
Meng Lei was stunned.
The 100th level was vastly different from the 99 levels before it.
There was no land, no oceans! No ice and snow, no bubbling lava! One could neither see the sky on top nor touch the ground below!
Only endless, boundless misty clouds filled the entire void, and within the void floated a tiny little island.
Meng Lei stepped forward and arrived at the little floating island right away. Underneath his feet was soft grass fields while the fragrance of flowers suffused the air all around him…
“Welcome, new master of the Tower of Time!”
