Chapter 443: Entering the Giant Tower

After entering the tower, Ye Feng felt his body suddenly grow heavy—after all, 2,000 times gravity was far more terrifying than 1,000 times. However, with his current divine-level cultivation and physical strength, 2,000 times gravity didn’t pose much of a hindrance to him; he only felt slightly uncomfortable and adapted in no time.

Ye Feng looked around. Pearl and Long Tian’s faces turned red as they sat motionless in their places. The women like Zhuge Ling’er struggled to take steps, trying to adapt to the environment as quickly as possible. Although Tie Niu’s cultivation was not as high, his physical strength was comparable to Yi Fan and the others, so he sat cross-legged nearby with a relaxed expression. Yi Fan crossed his arms and, with a sly smile, pointed at Kristine as she moved slowly. Xiao Liu laughed excitedly, showing off in front of the pale-faced Qing Lang and Da Sha.

Their group clearly attracted the attention of many others.

On the first floor of the tower, aside from Ye Feng and his group, there were nearly twenty others. Most of them were moving slowly, while a few sat there, unable to move, with expressions of pain.

When they saw that some members of Ye Feng’s group could move around freely without any hindrance, their expressions became quite varied—envy, jealousy, anger, resentment, shock, and even a hint of bitterness.

“It seems most people are trapped here…” Ye Feng thought to himself. He knew that only dozens of people had entered earlier, and with nearly twenty here alone, it was obvious that most were blocked by this first floor.

But that was normal. Although 4,000 times gravity seemed only twice as much as 2,000 times gravity, this increase wasn’t just a quantitative change—it was a qualitative one. If one couldn’t move freely under 2,000 times gravity, they would likely be completely immobile under 4,000 times gravity.

“Those who can move freely, go up!” Ye Feng shouted at Yi Fan and the others. “This place poses no challenge to you anymore—don’t waste time here.”

Yi Fan and the others nodded and headed toward the stairs leading upward.

“No need to wait for us. Once you adapt to the next floor, keep going up as far as you can!” Ye Feng called after them as they prepared to leave.

“Got it!” Yi Fan turned around and shouted, “Let’s see who’s faster and climbs higher!”

“Is there even a need to compete? Ye Feng will still be the one who climbs the highest in the end…” Xiao Liu muttered under his breath.

“Who would want to compete with him? He’s automatically excluded!” Yi Fan had a shameless expression on his face.
Ye Feng helplessly spread his hands. What Yi Fan said was true—if he counted himself in, there would indeed be no need for a competition. Although Ye Feng wasn’t a physical cultivator, even at the same level as Tie Niu, his physical strength wasn’t much weaker.
After those troublemakers left, Ye Feng went over to Pearl and Long Tian.
In terms of strength, although the two of them were only at the half-god realm, they weren’t inferior to the god-tier warriors like Zhuge Ling’er. However, since the energy in their bodies hadn’t fully transformed into divine essence, their physical strength hadn’t been fully purified or evolved, making them slightly weaker than Zhuge Ling’er and the others.
Looking around, aside from Ye Feng’s group, everyone else at this level was also at the half-god realm. But since the physical strength of monsters was inherently greater than that of humans at the same level, few monsters staying in the tower had a cultivation level beyond the late half-god realm.
“These two are Physical Refinement Divine Pills. Your soul strength is already sufficient, so it will be easy to enhance your physical strength without any adverse effects on your cultivation level.” Ye Feng took out two jade bottles and handed them to Long Tian and Pearl respectively. After killing so many gods in the divine realm, aside from divine artifacts, there were also many pills, and these Physical Refinement Divine Pills were one of them. These pills were only of mid-tier quality and not particularly remarkable, but they could be taken multiple times. Even gods at the supreme god level usually had a few on hand. But since they were only mid-tier, they could at most strengthen the user’s body to the peak of the supreme god level.
The other half-god-level monsters in the tower had also heard of Physical Refinement Divine Pills. Hearing Ye Feng’s words, they stared at the two jade bottles in his hands with eager eyes. But given their current situation where even basic movement was a problem, the idea of forcing something from others was completely absurd. They could only watch helplessly, cursing inwardly that the pills weren’t effective enough.
“I’ve heard of Physical Refinement Divine Pills. They’re knockoff versions of Divine Forging Pills. Their effects can at most reach the peak of the supreme god level, while Divine Forging Pills can strengthen a person’s body to the peak of the emperor god level.” Long Tian took the pill bottle from Ye Feng. “Actually, I do have a few Divine Forging Pills here, but their effects are extremely powerful. One needs a physical strength at least at the supreme god level to take them, otherwise their body will collapse.”

Ye Feng certainly knew about the Divine Forging Pill as well—it belonged to the top-tier category of divine pills and was a special type of medicinal pill. Its value was comparable to that of special top-tier divine artifacts. After all, warriors at the Emperor God level were at the pinnacle of combat power in the divine realm; any such warrior could dominate a region there.

“You also have such a great thing?” Ye Feng was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but soon resolved himself, knowing that Long Tian had received inheritance from a secret realm, so it wasn’t surprising if he had valuable items. “Keep one for me; I might need it in the future.”

“I only need to keep one for myself. I’ll leave the rest for you all. Whoever’s physical strength reaches the level of a Main God first and meets the requirements can come to me for it,” Long Tian said readily.

“Actually, I wasn’t planning to give out this Physical Refining Pill at first,” Ye Feng said to the two of them. “I thought that by now, your physical strength should be ready for a breakthrough. But even after coming to this tower, you still showed no signs of breaking through. If we wait any longer, it’s hard to say when it will happen. So, I’ll just give it a push here to directly boost your physical strength. When we reach the four-thousand-fold gravity on the second floor, the pill’s effects will continue, and they’ll be even stronger than here. Brother Long’s soul strength has already reached the Main God level. With enough time, your physical strength will surely break through to that level as well. Then, once your divine essence is replenished, you’ll be a true Main God-level warrior.”

“Sister Pearl’s soul strength isn’t weaker than Long Yue’s and the others’. With the combined effect of the medicinal pill and the environment here, her physical strength should be able to catch up to theirs quickly.” Seeing Pearl’s expression darken when talking about Long Tian, Ye Feng knew she felt bad as the weakest among them, so he tried to comfort her.

“Mm, I know,” Pearl forced out a faint smile, one that clearly seemed perfunctory.

“Cultivation can’t be rushed. Moving forward step by step steadily is the right way.” Ye Feng handed the pill bottle to Pearl. “Focus on what’s in front of you first. Take this Physical Refining Pill to break through your physical strength to the divine realm as soon as possible and go to the next floor. Four-thousand-fold gravity is much more effective for training physical strength.”

Pearl nodded and swallowed the pill.

Seeing this, Long Tian also swallowed his.

As the two slowly closed their eyes, Ye Feng sat down not far from them, silently guarding over them.
