Chapter 1440: Chapter 785: Consecutive Treasure Chest Openings, Thunder Prison Suppresses the Abyss

Meng Chuan began the challenge, and Black Axe followed him up, serving quite competently as the guide of Heaven-Opening Tower.

"Invincible time? I understand now."

Meng Chuan nodded, quietly observing his surroundings, while loosening up his hands and feet, timing himself internally.

Exactly 10 seconds later, the halos slowly disappeared.

In the distance, strange creatures appeared, looming closer under the cover of the rocky terrain; Meng Chuan’s sharp eyes discerned what type of monsters they were at a glance.

He observed while spreading his own perception.

Not long after, Meng Chuan’s expression eased:

"Tier Two [Four-Armed Snake Demons],just four of them, it seems my challenge difficulty is indeed not high."

Meng Chuan had seen others’ intelligence, where some with high difficulty benchmarks had Tier Two opponents numbering seven or eight, even more than ten in the first layer.

After being assessed by that phantom just now, challengers with higher overall physical talent face lower difficulty in the Heaven-Opening Tower.

After confirming this in his heart again, Meng Chuan returned his attention, slowly approaching the four monsters.

Snake demons, old acquaintances now, Meng Chuan had killed at least three figures on Blue Star...

Being just the simplest first layer, he didn’t linger, actively going forth, stepping into the encirclement of the four monsters.

"Hiss... Hiss..."

The four snake demons flicked their long tongues, issuing dangerous warnings, their tails—sharper than a sword—coiled behind them, ready to strike him at any moment.

Hiss—

Meng Chuan strode two steps forward, speed soaring into a phantom, abruptly descending upon a snake demon’s face, punching it to pieces.

Not waiting for the remaining three snake demons to react, his form flickered like lightning, simultaneously teleporting and launching consecutive punches, eliminating two, leaving only one stunned in place.

"Hiss...!"

The snake demon resisted its inner horror, although its expression was akin to seeing a ghost, Meng Chuan observed that it seemed as if its body had been ’back-end controlled’ by some unknown entity, forcibly rushing ten meters, sprinting toward him to attack.

Boom!

A shadow possessing strength equal to a Tier Two Martial Arts master moved, its giant whip-like tail spewing black hurricane, chopping down.

The action seemed as fast as lightning, but within Meng Chuan’s perception, it was slow as a snail.

He merely tilted his head slightly, even voluntarily leaning his shoulder forward.

Slap!

The steel whip landed on his shoulder, for a moment, Meng Chuan stood straight as an arrow, rooted as if growing from the earth.

Towering and motionless, his expression remained unchanged.

Tier Two snake demon, too worthless, even if ten thousand besieged him, they would hardly scratch his Hard Skill Treasure Light.

"No different from the normal Celestial Demon strength in the outside world."

He understood snake demons too well, analyzing them in a blink.

Having finished testing, Meng Chuan extended a finger, gently flicking his shoulder.

Bang!

As the serpent tail shattered into pieces, he casually lifted his size 88 foot, kicking the last snake demon to death amidst its terrified expression.

"Thinking beings, yet if they’re timid in battle, they are forcefully taken over by Heaven-Opening Tower’s rules..."

This wasn’t good news.

Having wisdom and thoughts, facing strong enemies later would be more difficult, entirely different from fighting mindless creatures.

...

Buzz~

As Meng Chuan kicked the last snake demon dead, the external Heaven-Opening Tower leaderboard refreshed simultaneously.

[Meng]’s name appeared on the leaderboard, quickly climbing from the last place, reaching the very top among challengers who had cleared only one layer.

Fewer than a handful rank higher than him in the same tier.

Heaven-Opening Tower clears its layers based on talent to rank placements specifically.

Meng Chuan’s physical talent was evidently of outstanding level.

Yet due to the vast number of challengers, his leaderboard movement didn’t draw much attention.

Hai Xingyun returned to Infinite Bank, still keeping an eye on the Heaven-Opening Tower challenge board.

Noticing this scene, he was a bit surprised:

"My kinsman, is unexpectedly a big genius?!"

Though many linger at the first layer, only casually testing before having to leave Pangu star for other matters.

But Meng’s ranking, nearly reaching the top of the first layer, sufficiently indicates his uncommon talent.

"Unfortunately, unable to see Heaven-Opening Tower’s will assessment on him..."

No matter what, in Hai Xingyun’s heart, the importance of Meng rose another level.

While contemplating this, he returned to his practice room to log into Dao Domain Network.

Has Meng not added him as a friend yet?

Considering Meng’s impoverished homeland, likely lacking any portable login device, Hai Xingyun understood.

He stroked his chin, finally deciding:

"Should Meng get past five layers with his Tier Four body, I’ll gift him a portable login device."

The current market for portable login devices ranges from ten thousand Star Coins to tens of millions, with a particularly wide gap.

Buying the most basic model, after developing outside of Pangu Divine Hall for years, he could afford it.

...

Inside the Heaven-Opening Tower.

Since killing the last snake demon, guidance appeared atop Meng Chuan’s brow; with a tip of his toe, he could advance to the second layer.

But he wasn’t in a rush, as each layer of Heaven-Opening Tower completed comes with random rewards.

Open the treasure chest.

[Night King] from Heaven-Opening Tower’s strategy group once mentioned, while rewards are random, higher talent yields relatively better rewards.

Before him, light and shadow transformed, interweaving gold and red into an unlocked large treasure box shape.

Meng Chuan walked forward, boldly opened it.

"With my superior physique, I possess unparalleled celestial potential!"

"..."

Following his verbal ’support’, with a slight touch of intent, the treasure box dissolved into light, six black pills landing in his palm.

"..." Black Axe seemed somewhat speechless, gently floated behind him to prompt:

"Good luck on your first try to get such a treasure.
