Chapter 447: The Tenth Floor of the Giant Tower

Within the Refinement Realm, Ye Feng finally slowly opened his eyes. It took him over a hundred years to barely stabilize his cultivation at the early stage of the Supreme God level. Unlike advancing from the early to the middle stage of the same level, breaking through to this level was even more difficult. Without sufficient opportunities and talent, some people might remain stuck for life, unable to make the slightest progress.

Ye Feng was exceptionally talented, and his spiritual cultivation was already at the Supreme God level, so breaking through was not difficult for him. The reason he spent over a hundred years was to stabilize this forced breakthrough and simultaneously enhance his physical strength to match his cultivation level.

Although a hundred years had passed within the Refinement Realm, in reality, only a little over thirty days had gone by.

Very satisfied, Ye Feng stepped out of the Refinement Realm and reappeared on the ninth floor of the giant tower. This time, he was prepared to ascend to the tenth floor.

If anyone were on this ninth floor, they would notice that Ye Feng appeared in an instant, took a step, and then disappeared.

“This is the tenth floor?” Ye Feng looked at the empty, dark hall, which gave off an indescribably eerie feeling. Even the sound of his feet touching the ground echoed repeatedly. This unusual silence made him even more vigilant.

He walked forward step by step, not daring to relax at all, though he was puzzled. “This should be the narrow tip of the tower—why is there such a large space here?”

Just then, a dark shadow darted ahead.

Ye Feng immediately chased after it.

The shadow moved at incredible speed. Even using all his strength, Ye Feng could only manage to keep up. Yet his confusion grew. “Strange, why does this movement technique resemble the one I learned from the Martial Canon?”

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the shadow suddenly stopped.

Ye Feng looked at it in surprise. In terms of strength, the other person was on par with him, so they certainly couldn’t be his opponent. Yet he felt a sense of familiarity about that person and really wanted to see what face they would show when turning around.

As he waited eagerly, the shadow slowly turned its head. The moment Ye Feng saw that face, his expression froze.

“Who exactly are you? Why disguise yourself as me?” As Ye Feng spoke these words, the other person said the exact same thing.

“Do you think that’ll stop me from killing you?” Ye Feng realized the other party seemed to fully understand what he was thinking.
“I have no time to play games with you—die!” Ye Feng grew annoyed. Seeing this figure that resembled his own reflection in a mirror, he felt as if he were being mocked.
Ye Feng took action, and the other party matched him evenly; soon, they were locked in a fierce fight.
But Ye Feng quickly noticed something was wrong. No matter what moves he used, the other party seemed to anticipate them and counter effectively, using moves that were exactly his own.
“This guy can actually read my thoughts? Know what my next move will be?” Ye Feng was even more surprised, but at the same time, he became more vigilant.
“Who the hell are you?” As soon as Ye Feng spoke, the other party asked the same question.
“Hmph, you want to learn, right? Let’s see how you handle this move!” Ye Feng created ten clones. But soon, to his shock, the other party also created ten clones.
“It seems he isn’t just learning my moves—he’s mastered every move I’ve ever learned…” Realizing this, Ye Feng fell into a tough battle.
“What’s going on?” Ye Feng found himself fighting against his own reflection. What made things worse was that the other party was far more skilled at using moves he rarely used himself. Even worse, every move the other party made was a lethal strike, leaving no room for error, aiming to kill him outright. Yet Ye Feng wanted to capture him alive to find out what was going on. These two opposing goals put Ye Feng at a disadvantage.
Ye Feng dodged desperately. It was the first time in his life he had faced a battle where he had no control at all, and the opponent was himself—something he found ironic. In previous fights against stronger opponents, he had never been in such a dire situation.
“This guy is a bastard! After all this time of continuous attacks, his energy hasn’t diminished at all—indeed, it seems even stronger.” Ye Feng cursed inwardly. “Could it be his dantian is like mine? A black crystal that provides unlimited energy?”
Thinking of the black crystal, Ye Feng suddenly had an idea. He noticed something unusual—the other party hadn’t used any elemental energy throughout the fight. “Could his dantian be structured differently?”

At this thought, Ye Feng’s mood instantly brightened. Encountering someone just like himself who even beat him up was already frustrating enough. Fortunately, the other party didn’t seem to fully replicate his abilities, giving him a chance to win.
“Freeze!” This time, the moment his fist touched the other’s, a wave of icy energy surged forth.
The shadow seemed to sense it as well and desperately tried to retreat.
“Hmph, thinking of escaping? That’s not so easy!” Fire energy circled around from the side, blocking its path forward.
The shadow hesitated for a moment, and its entire body was soon enveloped by the ice energy at its back.
“Hmph, trying such tricks on me—still ended up caught in the end, didn’t you?” Ye Feng’s smile was cold; despite his usual good temper, he was now angry after all this. “No matter what tricks you use, I’ll expose you right now!”
He slowly thawed the ice energy, revealing the other’s head, and reached out with one hand. Before he could unleash any energy, the frozen figure gradually dissipated.
“What’s going on? With this level of freezing, if it had the same physical strength as mine, it wouldn’t be like this—it would only be unable to move…” As these doubts flashed through Ye Feng’s mind, a sense of unease suddenly arose from behind him, prompting him to turn around immediately.
What he saw left him stunned.
“What??? Are you messing with me?” he couldn’t help but curse.
Standing before him were ten figures exactly like the one before.
