Chapter 858: Chapter 858: Identity of the Tower Guard

The method Ning Fan had chosen was, in his view, undoubtedly the most erroneous path.

As the Spiritual Power surged continuously, the Formation kept absorbing a massive amount of Spiritual Power, and the patterns of the array on the ground grew increasingly bright.

It was as if a sun had risen from the ground, filling the entire third level with light, dazzlingly bright!

Ning Fan stood right in the center, like a sun god from the myths, with his form nearly indistinguishable.

Only a vague outline was visible, shadowy and uncertain, difficult to discern.

Even the three guardians of the tower, confident in their Formation though they were, could not help but feel some trepidation at this spectacle.

How much power does this guy have inside him...

It should be known that the power absorbed by the Formation would not be released back but instead would be reapplied within the Formation.

That is to say, from the beginning until now, it has always been Ning Fan releasing power unilaterally.

Accumulated up to now, it had reached an unimaginably astronomical figure!

Ning Fan, standing amid it all, had a continuous stream of Spiritual Power within him, a look of consideration in his eyes.

Just now, it seemed he was merely releasing Spiritual Power, but in fact, he was controlling the amount of Spiritual Power he was outputting.

After a while of probing, he had basically figured out where the limit of this Formation lay.

"Very good, next is... breaking the Formation!"

Outside the Formation, the three guardians saw the Spiritual Power released by Ning Fan diminish and believed he had reached his limit.

"As expected, he still couldn’t break through."

"How could an ordinary person possibly use pure strength to break through a Formation."

"Exactly, it’s simply unrealistic."

The lead guardian was also about to speak up, intending to persuade Ning Fan to give up.

After guarding for so many years, their sense of belonging to Kunlun had dwindled, and they did not wish to kill Ning Fan.

In fact, to some extent, they even hoped that Ning Fan could break the Formation.

If Ning Fan rescued Ning Potian, these guardians would no longer need to remain guarding inside this tower.

Even though they had transcended to the Transcendent Realm, standing guard in one place for over a decade was not a pleasant experience.

Just then, they saw Ning Fan suddenly take a step forward.

Immediately after, a force several times more powerful than before burst forth from inside him!

If what was before could be likened to a surging river, then now it was a furious tsunami!

In an instant, the three of them felt as if they were the lonely boat in the stormy sea, swaying uncertainly, on the verge of capsizing at any moment!

"Damn it! Does his power have no limits?"

"This power is too terrifying! It’s stronger than the three of us combined!"

"No, no good! The Formation is going to break!"

In the midst of their panic, a slender crack suddenly appeared on the Formation, which had been radiant to the utmost.

This crack was extremely noticeable, and as soon as it appeared, it spread in all directions!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a clear shattering sound, the entire Formation burst apart, transforming into a sky full of flowing light.

Ning Fan, like a descended deity, walked out bathed in the rain of light.

This time, he wasn’t transported back to the center but walked up to the three guardians.

"Your Formation is quite good, but sadly it couldn’t withstand my power."

This Formation was very ingenious, able to absorb his power and use it in a continuous cycle within the Formation.

But everything has a limit.

The surge of Spiritual Power he had just released in an instant far exceeded the Formation’s absorption capacity.

With the overflow of Spiritual Power unable to be absorbed, the Formation naturally broke.

The lead guardian’s face was ashen, staring at Ning Fan in disbelief, and after a long while, he murmured, "What... what cultivation level are you exactly?"

"Me?" Ning Fan arched an eyebrow and said, "Anyway, higher than yours."

The lead guardian stared intently at him, his mind in turmoil.

To break through a Formation set by the three of them together required at least the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm.

And to achieve what Ning Fan had just done, one would likely need the strength approaching the late stage of the Transcendent Realm.

"If it’s you... perhaps you can..." the guardian gave a sigh, stood up, and motioned to his two companions to clear the way, "Go then, this is the path to the fourth level."

"However, I must warn you, the ones above are not in the early Transcendent Realm, but the mid Transcendent Realm."

"If you don’t have that level of strength, you’d better turn back now, rather than make a meaningless attempt."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan couldn’t suppress his curiosity: "Since the first level, I’ve been wanting to ask, why do you, as guardians of Kunlun, seem very much to hope that I can break this tower?"

At these words, the guardian paused slightly, "They didn’t tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

The three guardians looked at each other, and ultimately, the lead guardian sighed and said, "It seems they also don’t know how to start. Anyway, we’ve been here for so many years, there’s nothing much to conceal anymore."

"Strictly speaking, we aren’t entirely people of Kunlun; we are prisoners of Kunlun."

Hearing this, Ning Fan realized that the truth of the tower might not be what he had imagined.

"So what you’re saying is..."

The guardian nodded, "That’s right, in fact, we have all been defeated by people of Kunlun, which is why we have been guarding this tower all this time."
