Tap, tap, tap.
Lin Yun's footsteps echoed in the dim stone tower.
The space inside the tower was more vast than he had imagined. Some moonlight pearls were embedded in the walls, emitting a soft glow that made the stone tower feel even more empty and silent.
"Just as the original story said, it's truly empty, with nothing noticeable," Lin Yun muttered to himself after observing the surroundings.
Then, he clenched his hand, activating the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, and immediately devoured a surge of Desolate Qi.
As the Desolate Qi entered his body, he instantly felt a burning sensation spread within him. His muscles and bones felt faintly hot.
"This Desolate Qi is truly unique. I didn't expect both the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art and the Devouring Yuan Thunder Body to receive such a significant boost." A smile couldn't help but appear on Lin Yun's face as he felt the changes in his body.
"What a great place. It seems I won't just break through this time, but my Physique will also be significantly strengthened."
Just as he was thinking, a system prompt appeared in his mind.
[Task: Win the Martial Gathering. Reward: One bottle of Saint Rank Sixth Grade Death Profound Pills. Completed. Claim?]
[Task: Enter the Desolate Tower. Reward: One bottle of Saint Rank Sixth Grade Desolate Pills. Completed. Claim?]
Hearing the system prompts, Lin Yun immediately claimed the task rewards.
These two types of Saint Rank Pills, combined with the Pills he obtained after defeating Shen Tu Jue, should be enough to allow him to touch upon the Death Profound Realm.
"Let's see if I can reach the seventh floor first."
Thinking this, Lin Yun quickly activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and soared towards the upper floors.
In the vast space of the tower, a figure rapidly flashed past, surrounded by a layer of light membrane formed by the black Devouring Power.
"Sixth floor." When Lin Yun entered another floor of the tower, his body began to undergo subtle changes.
The color of the surrounding Desolate Qi became brighter, a bright yellow glow permeated with an indescribable sense of weight. Even Lin Yun felt a slight heaviness, and his body was noticeably less agile than before.
"Not enough." Looking at the seventh floor, which was within reach, Lin Yun pushed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to its limit and stepped towards the seventh floor one step at a time.
When Lin Yun reached the seventh floor, even though he was fully circulating the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, he could still feel his entire body's muscles under an extremely terrifying pressure.
At this moment, the surrounding Desolate Qi was almost golden and dazzling. Looking around, it was as if he was in a golden ocean.
Lin Yun stood cautiously in this golden ocean, only daring to move his body slightly. His gaze, through the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art covering his body, looked at the Desolate Qi that had almost condensed into a solid form.
"It seems I'll need to use some other methods to cultivate on this seventh floor."
Thinking this, Lin Yun flipped his hand, and the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar appeared in his grasp. As he circulated his Origin Power, the golden liquid-like Desolate Qi around him immediately surged wildly into the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar. After entering the Magic Jar, the golden liquid-like Desolate Qi gradually transformed into strands of golden Desolate Qi, which were then transferred into his body.
"It really works."
Seeing this, Lin Yun slowly sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the Desolate Qi transferred from the Magic Jar.
As the vast Desolate Qi entered his body, Lin Yun's body immediately trembled. His skin instantly turned golden, and an extremely hot current spread from within. Wherever it passed, it was like magma, accompanied by bursts of sound.
"Hoo."
Lin Yun took several deep breaths, his face filled with excitement. He could clearly feel that his muscles, bones, and organs were all emitting greedy cheers at this moment. The Desolate Power surging into his body had a fatal attraction to them.
The Devouring Yuan Thunder Body and the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art were operating at their peak, and immediately, crackling thunder and dragon roars resounded inside and outside his body. If one were to look at Lin Yun's body from the outside at this moment, they would find that his body was emitting three colors: green, silver, and gold.
Under the interweaving of these three colors, his skin gradually took on an ancient hue, giving off a sense of the desolate era.
"Buzz buzz!"
Under the interweaving of these three colors, the Thunder Marks and Azure Dragon Marks on Lin Yun's body were constantly increasing.
"Condense with all your might!"
Lin Yun chuckled in his heart, and then frantically absorbed the Desolate Qi surging into his body.
Undisturbed by anyone, he controlled the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar to absorb without restraint.
Half a month passed quietly under this absorption.
During this month, Lin Yun's body gradually became accustomed to the surrounding Desolate Qi, and the operation of the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar also began to slow down, while his body's improvement significantly increased.
"It seems my current body can only withstand this much."
His thoughts drifted, and Lin Yun slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. The moment they opened, two brilliant golden lights burst out, tearing apart the surrounding Desolate Qi.
A moment later, the golden light in Lin Yun's pupils quickly faded, turning back into black, and Lin Yun's body also returned to normal.
Lin Yun stretched out his arms and gently swayed his body. Immediately, a low dragon roar and thunderclap sounded around him.
He threw a punch, and the terrifying speed and power instantly tore through space and blasted out. The Desolate Qi in front of him was blown apart by this punch.
"With the current strength of this body, even if I stood still and let a Life Profound Realm Completion expert hit me, it shouldn't cause me any damage."
After testing, Lin Yun took out the Pills he had claimed earlier and sat down cross-legged again. With a wave of his hand, the Pills flew out of the bottle. The thick Death Qi surprised even himself.
"With these, it should be enough for me to break through."
Thinking this, Lin Yun established a task in his mind.
[Task: Break through to the Death Profound Realm. Reward: Physique +4, Root Bone +4]
After establishing the task, he closed his eyes again and fully circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art.
Under the effect of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, the surrounding Death Qi began to surge wildly into his body.
Under this absorption, another half a month passed.
At this time, extremely dense Death Qi began to appear around him. That terrifying Death Qi would shock even other Death Profound Realm experts.
Lin Yun's furrowed brows on his face also slowly relaxed from the initial tight frown.
Just as his expression completely returned to normal, his eyes suddenly opened. An extremely powerful Death Qi energy erupted from his body. The dense Death Qi even pushed the Desolate Qi around him outwards slightly.
"Finally took this step."
