Chapter 495: Rebellion in the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts
Not long after Stone broke through to the Law Realm, Ye Feng kept him in the Liuluan Hall to consolidate his skills. In fact, with a thousand-fold time acceleration, his consolidation had already been completed. Most of his time was spent fighting against Ye Yan. Although his cultivation level didn’t advance further, his strength increased significantly. After all, even though Ye Feng’s clone could only use one type of law, Ye Yan and the others still had memories of other techniques from the Martial Canon. Every move in the Canon was refined, and since Stone’s bloodline had evolved into that of the Ancient Demon Ape, which was highly adept at imitation, he reaped great benefits. After fighting against Ye Yan, Stone’s strength entered a relatively stable phase. Achieving further significant improvement wasn’t something that could happen overnight, so Ye Feng simply let him go out to freshen up.
The Golden General’s airship stopped at the designated location. After disembarking and paying the docking fee, they led Ye Feng and Stone into the supply point.
Once inside, Ye Feng realized the difference between this place and a real city. The people here were mostly powerful warriors at the peak of the Ancestor God Realm, with at least most of them at the second level of the Law Realm. Frankly, the number of powerful warriors gathered here exceeded that of many main cities combined.
These warriors naturally noticed the three people coming down from the airship, as few people came here by airship. When they saw Ye Feng, they found it amusing. In their eyes, although those at the Emperor God level were also extremely strong, coming to such a place was sheer recklessness. When they saw Jin, they stopped finding it funny and thought this guy must be annoyed by living too long. But when they saw Stone, their expressions changed. Stone’s aura was unmistakable—he was a warrior at the sixth level of the Law Realm. Among the onlookers, the strongest one was only at the fourth level. Though they sensed that Stone was stronger than them, they couldn’t figure out exactly how much stronger, which made them pale with fear.
“Boss, what place is this? There are quite a few strong guys here, though none as powerful as me,” Stone said carelessly, resting his long stick behind his neck and placing his hands on it.
“Boss?” That was the doubt that arose in the minds of many of the powerful warriors. “With such strong people around, who could be their boss?”
“Nothing much, just a supply point. It’s my first time here too. After traveling for so many days, I’m just taking a stroll to relax,” Ye Feng said without turning, scanning the streets on both sides. There were indeed quite a few street stalls set up by powerful individuals, but none caught Ye Feng’s interest.
The moment Ye Feng and the others entered the supply point, two guardians sensed the presence of a person with the sixth-level law cultivation. They knew well that this was someone who had reached that level of mastery. The surprise in their eyes as they looked at each other was evident—after all, there were few people at the sixth level in the Divine Realm, and even fewer at supply points. Not daring to neglect them, they stepped forward to greet them.
When they saw the three approaching, their gazes fixed on Ye Feng, unable to look away. Ye Feng frowned slightly. He didn’t think these two could discern his own law cultivation level, but the way they stared at him wasn’t just ordinary caution—it was even tinged with fear. “What’s going on?” he wondered.
The two stood still and communicated through telepathy, “Is that young man in white the powerful warrior from the battle crystal?”
“I was about to ask you the same thing. From his appearance, it seems to be the same warrior from the Thousand-Thorn Stone Forest.”
“The one who practiced three different attribute laws simultaneously and effortlessly defeated the Giant Stone Monkey with fifth-level law cultivation—how could he appear here?” Clearly, these two had watched Ye Feng’s battle in the Thousand-Thorn Stone Forest, which explained their strange reaction upon seeing him.
Since the two didn’t approach, Ye Feng walked over. “Are you the guardians here?”
“Elder, that’s right,” said the older-looking warrior on the left, momentarily stunned before forcing a smile.
“Can you see through my law cultivation level?” Ye Feng frowned. His current cultivation level was at the peak of Emperor God, and he hadn’t hidden it at all. But since these two were both at the peak of Ancestor God level with fifth-level law cultivation and still called him an elder, it seemed rather suspicious.
“Elder, it’s not like that. We’ve seen the battle crystal of yours from the Thousand-Thorn Stone Forest,” the man on the right said hurriedly as he saw Ye Feng frown. “Originally, this battle crystal shouldn’t have spread here so quickly, as this is just a supply point with delayed information. But my disciple happened to be practicing near the Thousand-Thorn Stone Forest. He witnessed your battle, and the person with him used a memory crystal to record it. That same night, he contacted me and told me about you. I wasn’t convinced, so I asked him to buy a copy of the battle crystal and send it over. My colleague Han and I have watched your battle footage many times. That’s why we recognized you right away, though we were afraid we might be wrong.”
“Someone actually recorded it?” Ye Feng frowned slightly; he had overlooked this issue. If so, part of his cultivation level might be exposed, which he didn’t want to happen. But since copies already existed here, it was likely that the major cities and leaders of various factions already had their own battle crystal recordings. Fortunately, he had only used the fifth layer of law cultivation at that time, a level that wasn’t particularly astonishing. Yet only those with true fifth-layer law cultivation could know that Ye Feng’s strength wasn’t as simple as it seemed. After all, the Giant Stone Ape in the Thousand-Thorn Stone Forest was quite fearsome in the Divine Realm. Although the battle footage showed it at only the fifth layer of law cultivation, it might not even lose even against someone at the sixth layer. But it was defeated by Ye Feng without any suspense. Thus, those who had seen the footage knew Ye Feng was holding back, but without knowing, they couldn’t guess how much. However, they were certain that Ye Feng’s law cultivation had reached at least the sixth layer.
Indeed, Ye Feng’s battle footage had already spread throughout the major cities. After all, the main cities were the most well-informed among all settlements. Naturally, massive factions like the Native Alliance, the Ascended Ones Alliance, the Neutral Tribes, and the Guardians Alliance also easily obtained the battle footage. Most of these factions had sent people to Sent City to attend the auction.
Thus, the name “Blade Edge” gradually spread among the powerful figures in the Divine Realm. Being able to easily defeat a magical beast at the fifth layer of law cultivation was something even those at the sixth layer found difficult to achieve. This was sufficient proof of Blade Edge’s strength.
“Blade Edge… Is this really his true strength?” In Titan City, a man holding a giant sword stared at the battle crystal before him with a dark expression.
“It turns out that knife-wielder has been hiding his true strength all along; his actual ability is already so formidable. What was shown at the auction was merely the tip of the iceberg…” A middle-aged member of the Indigenous Alliance stared in astonishment at the combat crystal in front of him.
“I already thought he was strong back then, but I never imagined it would reach this level…” A young member of the Ascended Ones Alliance watched the entire video with his mouth agape.
“He’s actually this strong? It’s completely beyond expectations…” Among the Neutral Tribes, an elderly man with white hair and beard stared intently.
…
“Did you come this time because of the uprising in the Tower of Beasts?”
“What is the Tower of Beasts?” Ye Feng was slightly puzzled. “I came here only because I received a mission.”
“Oh, I see. The Tower of Beasts is about to rebel again. I suggest you stay longer—there are still over two months left.”
“Over two months?” Ye Feng glanced at Jin. He remembered Jin saying that he needed to arrive within half a year. Two and a half months later would be exactly that period. “Did you come here for the Tower of Beasts?”
“That’s right.” Jin nodded helplessly and glanced at the two guardians at the fifth level of the Law cultivation. “Let’s step aside and talk…”
