    Trantor: 549690339


    Boom!


    A meteor halted just in front of Lu Yun, its radiance fading to reveal its true form.


    “Is this a meteorite?”


    Lu Yun stared at the floating meteorite before him and thought, “Is this my opponent, or will my opponent spring from this meteorite?”


    Though it was a wild conjecture, it didn’t mean it was impossible.


    As his cultivation improved, climbing higher in the Myriad Phenomena Tower, he realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.


    Suddenly, the floating meteorite illuminated with a brilliant light, turning into a youth wearing a blue robe, bearing a facial resemnce to Lu Yun by seventy to eighty percent.


    Moreover, the blue-robed youth had a faint smile on his face, unlike the stiff and rigid white-robed youth he encountered on the twenty-first floor.


    “Young man, you’ve done well to reach this point with your Transforming Origin Realm cultivation. I hope you continue to strive and pass my test…” The blue-robed youth’s voice was gentle, his eyes smiling as he looked at Lu Yun.


    It felt odd, as if his future self was evaluating his present self.


    “Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.”


    Boom!


    The golden blood in Lu Yun’s body roared as his momentum soared to its limit.


    Facing this blue-robed youth, he had to be fully focused, even resorting to using his physical body.


    “So that’s how it is.” The blue-robed youth held out his right hand, and endless starlight gathered behind him, forming a silver-white long saber.


    Immediately after, the smile on his face faded, a sh of crimson appeared in his eyes, and the entire starry sky turned dark red, with countless blood-red vines stretching out like serpents, coiling and extending around them.


    Lu Yun, standing in the distance, unleashed his Third Rank ughter Conception. In the surrounding starry sky, giant blood-red hands swayed.


    Without making a move, the two just released their ughter Conception, and the starry space where they stood changed ordingly.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The two spreading domains collided, creating a blood-red world filled with killing intent.


    Rumble!


    Their auras shed, countless killing intents colliding, either you overpowering me or me overpowering you.


    “Your ughter Conception is somewhat unique, but I’m already at the Third Rank peak, far above you.”


    The blue-robed youth pointed at Lu Yun and said, “Go!”


    Whoosh!


    A blood-red sword Qi condensed from killing intent shot straight at Lu Yun.


    “Hmph, just because your realm is high doesn’t mean you’re necessarily strong.” Lu Yun was confident that he couldpete with the opponent using just his ughter Conception, and with his powerful physical body, he should have no trouble passing through.


    “However, if I want to win quickly, I can’t avoid closebat!” Lu Yun’s eyes shone, and the surrounding blood-red domain trembled slightly, apanied by a rumbling sound.


    As his figure flickered, a Dragon Scale Sword emitted a dragon chanting sound, and a condensed sword radiance bloomed, breaking the opponent’s Sword Qi and shing relentlessly forward.


    Chirp! Chirp!


    The two brushed past each other, the forces they drew from heaven and earth created razor-sharp Sword Qi that collided, annihting everything. As the Killing Intent domains collided, those blood-red hands and vines entangled and tore at each other.


    “ng!”


    “ng!”


    Their figures flickered continuously in the starry sky, each sh apanied by a violent tremor.


    “You can’t stop me!” After more than a dozen rounds, Lu Yun stopped holding back, bursting out with his full might. Assisting the Dragon Scale Saber with the power of heaven and earth within this space, he directly pressed the attack.


    “It’s futile. Your strength is close to mine, but still somewhat inferior. To suppress me, you’ll need more practice. To defeat or kill me, you’ll need at least another two years.”


    The blue-robed youth urged his ughter Conception, gathering the domain of killing intent behind him onto his long saber, countering Lu Yun’s attack.


    “I won’t need that much time.” With an indifferent expression, Lu Yun activated the power of his physical body.


    He resisted the opponent’s Third Rank peak ughter Conception with his own, overpowering him with physical strength.


    Phew!!


    With Lu Yun and the Dragon Scale Saber leading the charge, the awe-inspiring power resembled a giant grinding stone, pressing down and shattering the blue-robed youth’s de Light. The vines that had risen around him were also thoroughly crushed.


    “How can this be?” The blue-robed youth’s face changed.


    Lu Yun’s outburstpletely exceeded his expectation. Not only was the Third Rank peak ughter Conception unable to suppress Lu Yun, but it was being suppressed instead.


    “In that case, let’s die together!”


    The blue-robed youth realized he had underestimated his opponent and became ruthless and decisive, no longer asposed as before.


    The killing intent that had filled the area for dozens of feet began to contract and condense nearly instantaneously, turning into a huge sword light, emitting the ultimate scarlet glow, bursting with ferocity and an extreme thirst for ughter.


    “Break for me!”


    Lu Yun held the Dragon Scale Saber with both hands, injecting his powerful strength and terrifying ughter Conception into the de. With a forceful shout, he provoked the surrounding space’s pressure, even drawing in the power of heaven and earth to aid his strike.


    This one sh, filled with dominance and ferocity, was incredibly powerful and swift as lightning. It fell directly on the Sword Light.


    Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!


    Lu Yun seemed to be hit by countless Sword Qi, his body surface rippling with streaks of golden light.


    Obviously, these scattered Sword Qi hadn’t broken through Lu Yun’s defenses, but his figure still retreated several meters.


    However, in thest moment, his final strike had already beenunched.


    “Rumble!”


    Blood light burst forth, killing intent surged, and the Sword Light formed from the condensed ultimate killing intent was crushed and shattered.


    “Chirp!” “Chirp!” “Chirp!”


    Without losing momentum, the saber fell rapidly, and the overwhelming might engulfed the blue-robed youth.


    Finally, the blue-robed youth’s body was cleaved in two, turning into two meteorites with flickering starlight, disappearing into the starry sky.


    Myriad Phenomena Tower’s twenty-second floor, passed.


    Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!


    Starlight surged and a space ripple appeared overhead, forming a massive vortex portal.


    “The twenty-third floor, here Ie.” A smile crossed Lu Yun’s face, and he skyrocketed into the vortex portal without hesitation..
