Chapter 499: The First Floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts

The one-eyed giant also knew he was facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy this time. Arches of lightning flashed from its single eye, instantly covering its entire body.
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. He could tell this was a technique for using the Law of Lightning, and it was clear that the one-eyed giant had also practiced related methods of this law.
“Although my mastery of the law is only at the eighth level, my physique and inherited memories are quite special. Many strong ones who have reached the ninth level of this law might not be able to defeat me…” The one-eyed giant seemed very confident. “Fighting against a master at the Perfect Realm for the first time is truly exciting for me!”
Ye Feng merely stared at him coldly, offering no response.
The one-eyed giant swished its tail gently before suddenly disappearing from its spot.
Ye Feng didn’t move at all. A white glow burst from his eyes, revealing the figure that had disappeared. A chill spread from its body, followed by white frost slowly seeping out. Its once powerful life force was extinguished as if doused in cold water.
The people around finally realized just how powerful Ye Feng was. A magical beast with an eighth-level mastery of the law was killed in an instant, meaning none of those present could even compete with him in a single exchange of blows.
Shi Tou and Jin also finally witnessed Ye Feng’s true strength and couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Ye Feng casually stored the one-eyed giant’s corpse in his storage ring, ignoring the message about gaining domain points that appeared in the Void Realm. He then turned to Jin and asked, “Do you want to go in?”
Jin hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Ignoring the onlookers, Ye Feng led Shi Tou and Jin through the opening. Wherever they passed, all the magical beasts turned into ice sculptures before disappearing, as they were stored in his storage ring.
Seeing no more magical beasts emerging, the remaining anxious people followed. The three strong ones whose mastery of the law had reached the seventh level also joined after resting for a while.
Inside the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts, there were only giant cages, with only a few having their doors open. In the sky, a few magical beasts hovered above, coldly watching Ye Feng and the others as they entered this space.
After the last person entered, the gap in space began to close rapidly.
Ye Feng glanced behind him. Jin transmitted a message to him and Shi Tou, “Don’t worry. After this rebellion ends, we will be transported out.”

“Welcome to the Tower of Beasts,” came an old man’s voice from all directions. “You are currently on the first floor of the Tower of Beasts. The most powerful magical beasts here are only at the peak of the Ancestral God level, but those with the highest mastery of laws have reached the first stage of perfection. Due to the rebellion of the magical beasts on the eighth floor, some of the seals on the cages on the first floor have cracked. Therefore, I intend to take this opportunity and use everyone’s strength to clean up the first floor.”
“For this purpose, I have prepared some tasks for you. Those who complete them will receive corresponding rewards. The first task is to eliminate all the magical beasts that have escaped from their cages. Based on a point system, each magical beast with first-level law mastery earns one point, second-level earns two points, third-level earns three points, and so on, up to nine points for those with ninth-level law mastery. Those with law mastery at the first stage of perfection earn twenty points each. As for calculating the number of beasts cleared, it’s simple—count the number of their magical cores. Only these magical cores from here can be used; those who try to cheat will die!”
“I wonder if the magical cores of those beasts that escaped before can be counted?” Ye Feng still doubted whether the owner of that voice could hear him.
After a brief silence, the voice replied, “As long as it’s a magical core from here, it counts.”
“But it seems there aren’t many beasts escaped now,” someone in the crowd shouted.
“You don’t need to worry about that. There are enough beasts here to ensure you have a fun time,” the voice said again. “As for the rewards, I will distribute them after the first task is completed. There’s no time limit for completing the task—it starts now!”
As soon as the old man’s voice faded, Ye Feng saw many of the already weak seals on the cages disappear instantly. A large number of magical beasts broke free from their cages the moment the seals vanished and charged toward the crowd.
Only then did everyone understand what the old voice meant by saying there were enough beasts to ensure a fun time. With tens of thousands of magical beasts pouring out, it was no longer a matter of having fun—it was a matter of survival. After all, Ye Feng and his group numbered just over a hundred, while those magical beasts all had mastery at the peak of the Ancestral God level, with the lowest having law mastery at the first stage.
Only Ye Feng remained calm as he stared at the swarm of beasts rushing from the sky.
Shi Tou was full of fighting spirit, but Jin frowned slightly.
“The number of beasts here is hundreds of times greater than it was before my reincarnation…” Jin transmitted to the two of them.
“Weren’t they all locked in cages? Why has the number increased?” Ye Feng also found it strange.

“These cages aren’t locked forever, as they are equipped with numerous seals that require a great deal of energy to maintain. To accumulate energy, the Tower of All Beasts periodically removes the seals from all cages below the eighth floor. Each time a seal is lifted, it takes three days. Many magical beasts engage in frenzied mating during these three days, resulting in an increase in the number of young beasts. The floors of the Tower of All Beasts are arranged according to strength—many young beasts that are not at the level of an Ancestral God upon birth are sent outside the tower, while those born already at the Ancestral God level are sent to the first floor. Thus, the number of magical beasts on the first floor increases the most.” Jin knew very well how the Tower of All Beasts functioned.

Faced with the overwhelming swarm of magical beasts, Ye Feng also felt a surge of fighting spirit. He turned to look at the two of them and said, “Take care of yourselves.”

Then he separated from the group and flew toward the swarm. Wherever he passed, the magical beasts turned into ice sculptures and fell from the sky before suddenly disappearing.

In just a few breaths, a gap appeared in the swarm as if a sharp blade had been inserted into it.

Seeing Ye Feng’s bravery, many of the other magical beasts abandoned their companions and rushed toward him.

The cold aura in front of Ye Feng erupted repeatedly, clearing a 50-meter-radius area around him with each blast.

Most of the magical beasts’ attacks were drawn to Ye Feng, making things much easier for the others. While clearing the beasts around them, they watched Ye Feng wreak havoc in the swarm with envy.

“How many are there?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. “I’ve killed at least thousands, right? Why do they keep coming?”

“He’s mine!” Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out. The other magical beasts were stunned upon hearing this and quickly retreated.

“A practitioner at the ninth level of Law Mastery?” Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the magical beast—it was a white fox.

The fox walked slowly toward Ye Feng with graceful steps, as the other magical beasts automatically stepped aside.

“Strange. It should be able to sense that my Law Mastery has reached perfection. Instead of fleeing, it’s coming toward me on its own?” Ye Feng was puzzled.

The fox stopped not far in front of Ye Feng. Its red eyes suddenly turned black, and a powerful mental force rushed into Ye Feng’s eyes, heading straight for his mind sea.

“Oh, I see!” Ye Feng realized only when under attack that a powerful mental force was trying to invade his mind sea. He shook his head with a bitter smile—his opponent was clearly an expert in mental power cultivation, but against him, they had utterly failed. First, his own mental power was not weak at all; it had reached the peak of the Ancestral God level. Second, he possessed a pseudo-illusory treasure that could defend against mental and soul attacks. Third, he had the Flowing Palace and the Void Domain to protect his mind sea. Although the opponent’s mental power was much stronger than his, even reaching the Saint level, it couldn’t create even the slightest ripple on the surface of his mind sea.

After its first attack failed completely, the white fox demon beast was somewhat incredulous and launched a second attack.

Ye Feng swiftly moved and grabbed its neck. “Soul attacks are useless against me. In front of me, you’re even worse than those who have reached the seventh level of law cultivation.”

“Don’t kill me!” The white fox, now captured by Ye Feng, felt its soul starting to freeze and quickly begged for mercy.

“Give me a reason,” Ye Feng said coldly.

“I can submit to you. I practice a special type of law—the Soul Law. My mental power has reached the later stages of the Saint level. Even those at the perfect stage in this first layer dare not provoke me easily.” The white fox grew anxious.

“The Soul Law?” Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped using the Ice Heart Technique.

Information from the Martial Canon also appeared: “The Illusory Spirit Beast is a descendant of the ancient fierce beast, the Nine-Tailed Fox. After many generations of reproduction, it has become the weakest among the Nine-Tailed descendants—a demon beast with extremely ordinary talents, skilled in illusions and mental attacks. But if it mutates, it regains some of its Nine-Tailed bloodline, becoming a powerful soul attacker closest to the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Nine-Tailed Fox has long ranked seventh on the list of ancient fierce beasts. It hasn’t made it into the top five only because its physique is relatively fragile and it easily perishes. Without such weaknesses, its strength would surely place it among the top three on the list of fierce beasts, with even the potential to become number one.”

“Have you mutated?” Ye Feng looked at the fox.

“How do you know?” The Illusory Spirit Beast, in the form of a white fox, was even more surprised.

Ye Feng threw a blue potion at it. “Inject this into your body.”

Although reluctant, the Illusory Spirit Beast knew its life was now in someone else’s hands, so it obeyed.

After that, Ye Feng summoned Ye Han, his water attribute clone, “Guard me for a while.”

Only then did he turn his attention back to the Illusory Spirit Beast.

After injecting the perfect gene potion, the Phantom Beast felt as though its body was on fire. At that moment, a hand touched its forehead, “Use the Ultimate Repair Privilege.”
After the incident with the stone last time, the Ultimate Repair Privilege had been enhanced, allowing it to repair the bloodline of fierce beasts. However, it still took longer than with the stone. Ye Feng had no choice but to summon his doppelgänger to help.
The others were stunned when Ye Feng’s doppelgänger suddenly appeared, but then they thought that for a powerful figure like Ye Feng, having treasures like palaces was normal. Normally, without long-term cultivation, a doppelgänger’s strength could not match that of the original. So they naturally assumed that Ye Feng’s doppelgänger, having risen in the Divine Realm not long ago, would not be very strong. Yet, the doppelgänger effortlessly dealt with all the close-range magical beasts as if cutting vegetables, leaving everyone in awe and calling it insane.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, paid no attention to the others’ gazes and patiently observed the changes in the Phantom Beast.
