689. The First Level of the Forbidden Tower

With a swift motion, Lin Fei did not hesitate. He flew into the Forbidden Tower. Upon entering, Lin Fei felt as if the very void around him twisted and contorted. This sensation was all too familiar to him. It was as if he had entered another world.

No, to be more precise, the first level of the Forbidden Tower was akin to a sealed world. Once inside the Forbidden Tower, one was essentially within the world, subject to its oppressive force. This force was immensely strong and distinct in its intensity.

Lin Fei subtly perceived that the entire Forbidden Tower was not just any world—it was perhaps even beyond the Chaos Realm. No, it was stronger than the Chaos Realm! For Lin Fei, attempting to shatter the confines of the Forbidden Tower while inside it was an impossibility. Even with his utmost effort, it could not be done.

As soon as Lin Fei entered the first level of the tower, he noticed many gazes suddenly fixed upon him. The first floor was crowded with numerous individuals—all of them Supremes.

"Must one queue to proceed?" Lin Fei pondered internally. He knew nothing of what was required on the first level of the Forbidden Tower, as the Supreme of Doomsday had never informed him. Perhaps the Supreme of Doomsday deemed these matters trivial, assuming Lin Fei could easily overcome them without explanation.

However, Lin Fei was in no rush. Instead, he carefully observed the first level of the Forbidden Tower. There were so many Supremes present for a reason. Each level of the Forbidden Tower, upon being conquered, offered certain benefits or gifts from the tower itself.

This was why so many Supremes ventured here to challenge the tower, undeterred by the risks. While most rewards were modest, some reaped substantial benefits.

Perhaps this explained why the first level seemed somewhat crowded. Yet, this did not deter Lin Fei from attempting to conquer it. Because, as it turned out, the first level of the Forbidden Tower was exceedingly simple.

Within this level was a "Combat Zone." Stepping into the "Combat Zone" signified the commencement of the challenge. Battles would naturally ensue thereafter. Lin Fei observed that those in the combat area seemed to be isolated, and transported to unknown locations.

If the Forbidden Tower was indeed a world of its own, this was quite ordinary. Even Lin Fei's Eternal Realm could easily partition many spaces, separating countless individuals without difficulty.

Lin Fei had no reason to hesitate. It was only the first level of the Forbidden Tower, after all. Despite his lack of information, he felt confident that conquering this first level would pose little challenge.

Thus, Lin Fei strode boldly toward the combat area.

"Ah? Is this Supreme... Supreme Lin Fei?"

"Yes, that's Supreme Lin, recently risen to prominence as a top-tier Supreme in Kunyu City. It's said that Supreme Lin Fei, alongside the Clairvoyant Supreme, powerfully slew a top-tier Supreme and even seized the Chaos Pearl."

"Why has Supreme Lin come here now?"

"To be here is surely to challenge the Forbidden Tower, but up to which level can Supreme Lin Fei advance?"

"I'd wager the eighth level might be within his reach."

"I agree. Having slain a top-tier Supreme, progressing to the seventh or eighth levels should pose no difficulty."

"What about the ninth level? I think he might just make it there."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"The ninth level? Only the Invincible Supreme of Doomsday has ever reached that level."

Many Supremes buzzed with speculation.

Regardless of how far Lin Fei progressed, they would soon find out. From the first to the eighth levels of the Forbidden Tower, many Supremes ventured to challenge, ensuring that someone would always witness Lin Fei's progress and ascertain how far he had advanced.

Regardless of others' conjectures, Lin Fei had already reached the combat area of the first level of the Forbidden Tower. As he stepped into the combat zone, Lin Fei immediately felt a distortion around him. Soon after, the people and the environment around him vanished.

He had been isolated in a separate space.

"Swoosh."

Before Lin Fei, a figure appeared—seemingly a Supreme, but with a vacant expression, somewhat wooden and not resembling a normal Supreme, or even a living being.

"The battle begins. Defeat him to proceed to the second level of the Forbidden Tower. If you are defeated, you may speak to withdraw from the battle. If you do not speak, or cannot in time, death is a possibility!" An unfamiliar voice echoed around Lin Fei, clearly stating the "rules" of the Forbidden Tower.

"Swoosh."

No sooner had the voice faded than the Supreme opposite Lin Fei charged at him with a speed akin to teleportation. The attack was swift and decisive, aimed to strike Lin Fei down with the force of thunder.

This was a true battle. Yet, Lin Fei remained motionless, allowing his opponent to advance.

Finally, the Supreme reached him and threw a punch aimed at Lin Fei.

Still, Lin Fei did not move, merely surrounded by a faint luminescence.

The Eternal Light!

"Boom."

The punch from the opposing Supreme landed fiercely on the layer of Eternal Light around Lin Fei...

And then, there was no more.

Lin Fei remained unmoved, even the Eternal Light around him merely flickered slightly. This light, a manifestation of some powers from the Eternal Realm, offered only about a tenth of its potential defensive strength.

After all, Lin Fei's true power lay in embodying the Eternal Realm itself; the light's protective capabilities were relatively modest. Yet, despite this, when the opposing Supreme's punch landed on Lin Fei, he remained completely still.

"This weak?" Lin Fei furrowed his brow in surprise. He had not anticipated encountering such feeble opposition. He had expected the challenges within the Forbidden Tower to be formidable, the adversaries strong. Yet, this was not the case.

Of course, this perceived weakness was from Lin Fei's perspective—a perspective belonging to an Invincible Supreme. To the likes of the Supreme of Doomsday, anything less than the ninth level of the Forbidden Tower scarcely warranted attention. Such was the confidence of an Invincible Supreme!

Shaking his head, Lin Fei delivered a simple slap.

"Boom."

The opposing Supreme was instantly reduced to dust. Moreover, Lin Fei could sense that while his opponent had been obliterated, there was no life force present—the figure was indeed not alive.

With his adversary vanquished, the environment around Lin Fei swiftly reappeared. He glanced around; he was still on the first level of the Forbidden Tower, but now a staircase leading to the second level had materialized in the combat zone.

"What, he cleared the first level of the Forbidden Tower so quickly?"

"It's no surprise for someone capable of slaying a top-tier Supreme. The first level was evidently no challenge for Supreme Lin."

"Not just the first level—likely the second, third, and even fourth levels of the Forbidden Tower pose no challenge for Supreme Lin Fei."

Recognizing Lin Fei, the surrounding Supremes noted the brevity of his victory. In merely a breath or two, he had passed through the first level—an impressive feat indeed.

Lin Fei eyed the staircase. He knew that the Supreme of Doomsday awaited him on the ninth level. Without any hesitation, he strode confidently towards the stairs, each step taking him closer to the second level of the Forbidden Tower.
