Chapter 1977 - 1977 1967 The Only Spot

1977: Chapter 1967: The Only Spot 1977: Chapter 1967: The Only Spot “I could kill you right now,”

Luo Pin said coldly, true murderous intent in her words.

Long Yan possessed an astonishing talent; such a person could neither be of use to her nor become an obstacle in her way.

“Although I am not as strong as you, you can’t kill me,”

Long Yan responded with an indifferent smile, showing no trace of fear.

Luo Pin might be powerful, but here, the three Elders outside wouldn’t allow Luo Pin to harm him.

No sooner had Long Yan finished speaking than a figure appeared silently before the two of them.

It was the spirit of the Nine-Star Tower, Star Ancient God.

“Congratulations on reaching the Eighth Layer Space,”

Star Ancient God looked at Long Yan and Luo Pin in turn.

For them to reach the Eighth Layer Space meant that both their talents were that of a peerless genius.

“Do you also wish to enter the Ninth Layer?”

Star Ancient God asked.

“Of course,”

Luo Pin replied, then quickly asked, “What are the conditions for entering the Ninth Layer Space?”

She had made many preparations just to enter the Ninth Layer Space of the Nine-Star Tower, to glimpse the secrets hidden within.

Perhaps what she was searching for was related to this secret.

Long Yan didn’t speak, but his eyes told Star Ancient God that he was determined to attempt the Ninth Layer Space.

“Both of you wish to enter the Ninth Layer Space, but there is only one spot available.

Only one of you can take the test,”

Star Ancient God announced.

The Ninth Layer Space was different from the other levels, concealing a secret that could only be obtained by one person.

Thus, between Long Yan and Luo Pin, only one could take up the challenge.

Among the disciples participating in the selection, only Long Yan and Luo Pin had reached the Eighth Layer Space and were qualified to attempt the Ninth Layer.

At these words, both Luo Pin and Long Yan’s gazes slightly shifted.

“He is merely at the True God Second Stage, while I am at the True God Level 10.

I am more deserving of that secret than he is,”

Luo Pin declared.

Long Yan’s ability was far inferior to hers; by this merit alone, Long Yan would have to be eliminated.

“To enter the Ninth Layer Space of the Nine-Star Tower, strength alone is not enough.

The two of you will fight, and the victor will take on the Ninth Layer Space,”

Star Ancient God stated.

Hearing this, Luo Pin immediately began to laugh.

How could Long Yan, with his mere True God Second Stage cultivation base, be a match for her?

However, Star Ancient God’s next words made the smile on Luo Pin’s face freeze.

“For fairness, the two of you must have the same cultivation base,”

After saying that, Star Ancient God pointed a finger, and a surge of power entered Luo Pin’s body, suppressing her cultivation base to the True God Second Stage.

A fair battle would determine who could defeat the other, proving whose talent was higher and thus who was more qualified to attempt the Ninth Layer Space.

The stiff smile on Luo Pin’s face gradually faded, her expression turning quite unsightly.

Before the opening of the Nine-Star Tower, Long Yan had fought fiercely against five geniuses of the Demon Race from the Zhetian Alliance and even killed one of them.

Long Yan’s true strength was comparable to the True God Sixth Stage.

With her cultivation base suppressed to the True God Second Stage, she couldn’t possibly be a match for Long Yan.

“Now, I am your only obstacle.

Make your move.

Defeat me, and you will earn the right to challenge the Ninth Layer Space,”

Long Yan looked at Luo Pin with a rather playful expression, his tone mockingly light.

“I…

concede!”

Luo Pin squeezed out three words from between her teeth and directly admitted defeat.

She was simply no match for Long Yan, to strike against Long Yan was just to invite humiliation upon herself.

With a casual wave of his hand, the Star Ancient God enveloped Luo Pin in an invisible force, and she vanished without a trace.

“Follow me.”

Right then, the Star Ancient God took Long Yan and left.

At this moment, outside the Nine-Star Tower.

“I wonder if that kid will be acknowledged?”

Elder Yang spoke with anticipation in his tone.

With Long Yan taken away by the Star Ancient God, the three Elders were unable to see Long Yan’s situation; the Ninth Layer Space was beyond their scrutiny.

“This youngster is no simple matter; even we three cannot see through him.

He easily ascended to the Eighth Layer Space, just like the Holy King back then, his talent no less than that of the Holy King.”

Elder Yu spoke, genuinely hoping that Long Yan would be acknowledged.

After all, he too was eager to know what secrets lay hidden within the Nine-Star Tower.

“We’ll know soon enough.”

Elder Wu said with a smile, “No matter what, with two disciples entering the Eighth Layer Space this time, our new disciples’ competition, we’ve already taken the upper hand.”

The Seven-Star Hall controlled the Seven Major Star Regions, recruiting new disciples from each, essentially forming seven camps.

There would eventually be a showdown between the disciples of the seven stars, also a contest among the Elders responsible for recruiting new disciples.

Both Long Yan and Luo Pin had entered the Eighth Layer Space, giving the Rocking Light Star Domain some advantage in the new disciples’ competition.

Time passed slowly; almost everyone had entered the Nine-Star Tower, and the disciples who reached the third layer all received a Special Token, falling short of the third layer meant elimination.

The number of those eliminated was not small, three to forty thousand, now without the chance to enter the Seven-Star Hall.

The Nine-Star Tower, in the depths of the Eighth Layer Space.

“This Small Gate leads to the Ninth Layer Space; it’s up to you to gain approval now.”

The Star Ancient God said to Long Yan.

Ahead, a towering gate stood a thousand feet tall, with Thunderbolt coursing through it, separating heaven and earth with a mysterious aura of the Mystic surrounding it.

“Such profound will.”

Long Yan observed the gate, sensing an incredibly profound will within it that could annihilate him without him having any chance to resist.

Taking a deep breath, Long Yan walked towards the gate and quickly reached its base.

At that moment, Long Yan suddenly felt as though he was being scrutinized, but the sensation was fleeting.

“Entering this Small Gate must be no simple task.”

Long Yan thought to himself.

Probably many had tried before him, but to date, no one had been able to enter the Ninth Layer Space; this final test certainly wouldn’t be so simple.

On guard, Long Yan took a step forward, placing one foot inside the gate.

He had expected some disturbance, but contrary to Long Yan’s expectations, the gate remained motionless.

“Success or failure hinges on this.”

Not understanding what was happening but resolved, Long Yan brought his other foot into the gate as well.

In that instant, the gate trembled slightly, and a force enveloped him.

In the next moment, Long Yan disappeared.

“So, this youngster truly is that person, finally arrived.”

The Star Ancient God slowly uttered these words; clearly, Long Yan had received the approval of that will and entered the Ninth Layer Space.

Indeed, there was a secret in the Ninth Layer Space, but what that secret was, even the Star Ancient God did not know.

With Long Yan’s entrance into the Ninth Layer Space, that secret naturally became Long Yan’s.

All these years of waiting, just for the emergence of that person, Long Yan was that person.
