If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

boom--!

The moment Lin Yuan's palm touched the core of the Dragon Gate Tower's energy source.

The entire trial tower trembled violently!

Deep within the tower's core, the energy source that sustains the entire Dragon Gate Tower seems to have its lifeline forcibly seized by something.

Blue and white light flashed wildly.

Rings of energy array patterns lit up wildly along the central passage of the tower.

It's like a rebellion.

It also seemed like fear.

Lin Yuan stood in front of the source energy core.

The old school uniform moved on its own even without wind.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind.

His face was completely expressionless.

He simply tightened his five fingers slowly.

next moment.

System notifications kept popping up.

High-purity gantry energy detected.

[Black Gate contamination source detected]

[Residual structure of the energy source array detected]

[Removing impurities from the abyss]

[Extracting compressible energy]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

boom!

A stream of blue-white energy was forcibly extracted from the core by Lin Yuan.

The moment that force entered his palm, it was like a frantically struggling thunder dragon, trying to break through his arm.

The next moment.

Lin Yuan's internal energy and blood, compressed 350,000 times, began to circulate rapidly.

heavy.

Icy.

overbearing.

Like a deep, dark golden sea, it instantly suppressed the blue and white lightning dragon to the bottom of the sea.

Compressing it inch by inch.

Compressed layer by layer.

Until that source energy was ground into the purest life fuel and integrated into his limbs and bones.

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 360000]

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

"good."

Two words were uttered.

The core of the tower's energy source trembled again.

It was as if I understood his assessment.

The black gate cracks writhed violently on the surface of the energy core, and the eerie blue light, like a venomous snake, tried to burrow into Lin Yuan's body through his palm.

Lin Yuan lowered his eyes.

"You want to come in too?"

boom!

The Qi and blood of the Supreme Dao trembled slightly.

Before the blue pollution could even get close, it was directly crushed into countless tiny specks of light.

The system prompt popped up again.

[Black Gate Contamination Energy Detected]

[Contaminant and impurity removal is underway]

[Energy available for extraction]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 370000]

outside world.

The Longmen Tower shook violently.

Everyone on the playground paled.

The energy light curtains flickered one after another.

The data was fluctuating wildly.

"Abnormal energy loss in the core!"

"Pollution index has decreased!"

"No! The pollution level wasn't purified, it was removed!"

"The core energy of the Lungmen Tower is rapidly decreasing!"

Instructor Longyuan was covered in cold sweat, his hands frantically manipulating the control panel.

But the more he did it, the paler his face became.

Because he discovered it.

The core of the tower's energy source is no longer under his control.

Inside that tower, it was as if a bottomless well had appeared.

Both the energy source of the Dragon Gate Tower and the polluted aura of the Black Gate were being devoured by that deep well.

Gu Changye stood in front of the control panel.

The gentle smile on his face vanished completely.

He stared at the core energy reserve curve, his eyes filled with a terrifying depth.

decline.

A dramatic drop.

It's not consumption.

Consumption follows a pattern.

There has been feedback.

It has a running path.

But now, the curve looks more like it's been dragged into an abyss by something.

The adjutant's voice tightened:

"Sir, should we forcibly cut off the power supply to the tower's core?"

Instructor Longyuan immediately shook his head:

"No!"

"There are still students inside the tower."

"If we forcibly cut off the pollution now, the containment efforts will spiral completely out of control!"

Gu Changye remained silent.

His gaze fell on the light screen where Lin Yuan was located.

on the screen.

Lin Yuan remained standing on the trial level.

Qi and Blood Realm, Level 1.

Old school uniform.

Hands in pockets.

But for some reason, the more Gu Changye looked at that figure, the more absurd it seemed.

What a coincidence!

Something happened at Longmen Tower.

Lin Yuan's image is stable.

The energy source in the tower's core can disappear.

Lin Yuan showed no abnormalities.

All the data told him that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Yuan.

But his intuition told him otherwise.

That tower is being eaten.

And the person who ate the tower might be standing right in front of everyone.

No one can see it.

……

The uninhabited area at the heart of the tower.

Lin Yuan pressed his palm against the source energy core.

Blue-white energy and dark blue pollution flowed into his body simultaneously, like two giant rivers.

If an ordinary martial artist encounters such a mixed power, he will be corrupted and eroded in an instant, and his qi and blood will be in disarray.

But for Lin Yuan...

It doesn't matter.

Energy is energy.

Remove the impurities.

The rest can all be bet.

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 380000]

boom!

A tiny crack appeared on the surface of the energy core.

The light emanating from the entire Longmen Pagoda dimmed noticeably.

As if finally realizing something, the cracks in the black gate began to shrink frantically into the depths of the tower's core.

It doesn't want to continue polluting.

Instead, they wanted to escape.

Lin Yuan looked at the rapidly shrinking azure patterns and said calmly:

"You want to leave now?"

"It's too late."

Clasp your five fingers together.

Click!

Deep within the tower's core space, it seemed as if something was being forcibly pulled back by him.

Those dark blue cracks were forcibly pulled back.

The aura of the Black Gate trembled violently.

next moment.

Deep within the tower, all the dark blue cracks suddenly converged.

A tall, blurry figure slowly materialized from the cracks.

It has no real entity.

It looks like it's pieced together from countless shadowy doors and polluted air.

A pair of deep blue eyes slowly opened in the darkness.

Icy.

Hollow.

There are no human emotions.

Mensla projection.

Half-step commander.

It looked down at Lin Yuan, its voice seemingly coming from behind countless doors at the same time.

"Ancient Body Cultivator"

"You shouldn't have stopped the Black Gate."

Lin Yuan looked at it.

"You shouldn't have looked for her."

The Mensla projection did not respond.

It simply raised its hand slowly.

Countless doors unfolded behind him.

Whispers came from behind each door.

The sound of crying.

laughter.

Screams.

A prayer.

The sounds intertwined, like a nightmare tide that could drag you into an abyss.

The core space of the tower was instantly engulfed by a ghostly blue light.

The projected voice of the Menslave was cold:

"The one who cleanses the gate has been identified."

"It's too late for you."

boom!

The moment those words were spoken.

Lin Yuan's eyes turned completely cold.

The projection of the gatekeeper continued:

"She will open the door."

"She will come back."

"She belongs to the Black Gate."

Lin Yuan did not speak again.

His old school uniform was slowly being stretched out by invisible qi and blood.

Dark gold battle patterns emerged inch by inch from deep within the skin.

Phase 1.

Ultimate Battle Body.

The lockdown has been lifted.

Click!

Instantly, countless cracks appeared on the ground at the center of the tower.

Lin Yuan took a step forward.

The shadows of the surrounding doors trembled simultaneously.

The gatekeeper projection raised its hand, and countless dark blue chains shot out from behind the door, wrapping around Lin Yuan's limbs.

Lin Yuan did not dodge.

He let the chains approach.

then.

Raise your hand and shake it.

boom!

All the dark blue chains were crushed into mist three feet away from his body.

The blue light in the projection of the gate slave suddenly contracted.

next moment.

Behind Lin Yuan, six additional dark gold arms slowly unfolded.

second stage.

The Eightfold Asura Body.

The lockdown has been lifted.

Rumble—!

The no-man's-land at the heart of the tower seemed to be forcibly filled by an ancient demon god.

Eight arms stretched across the sky.

Dark gold battle patterns flow.

The terrifying physical pressure caused the shadowy figures on the doors to distort inch by inch.

The Mensnu projection took a step back for the first time.

"you……"

Lin Yuan had already appeared in front of it.

No nonsense.

There was no probing.

All eight arms pressed down at the same time.

On his right fist, the extreme qi and blood were collapsing wildly.

The air disappeared.

The sound disappeared.

The light in the tower's core space seemed to be swallowed up for a moment by that fist.

Lin Yuan uttered four words in a low voice.

"The Great Wilderness is Desolate."

boom--!!!!!!

A punch landed.

All the door shadows behind the gate slave's projection collapsed inwards at the same time!

The eerie blue light shattered wildly.

The contaminant emitted a piercing, high-pitched sound.

The half-step commander-level projection didn't even have time to put up a complete resistance before it was forcefully compressed into a ball of dark blue light by the collapsing fist force.

"No--"

"The Pure Gate Master—"

boom!

The last sound was completely extinguished by the force of the punch.

The space at the heart of the tower suddenly fell silent.

All the cracks in the black gate shattered completely.

Only the purest source of pollution energy remained, and after the system stripped away the impurities, it surged wildly into Lin Yuan's body.

[A semi-commander-level contaminated projection core has been detected]

[Removing impurities from the abyss]

[Extracting compressible energy]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 390000]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 395000]

Lin Yuan slowly withdrew his fist.

The eight-armed phantom gradually faded away.

The ultimate battle runes sank back into his body.

He looked down at the system panel.

395,000 times.

Five thousand more is needed.

Just then.

Suddenly, an extremely piercing alarm sounded outside the entire Lungmen Tower.

Beep beep beep beep—! !!! !

It's not an alarm inside the tower.

It's a city-wide alarm.

Within the tower's core space, a shattered energy light curtain automatically popped out.

In the picture.

The direction of the civilian area in the seventh safe zone.

The sky was originally clear.

But at this moment, a dark blue crack is slowly appearing above the old tenement building.

That building.

Lin Yuan knew him.

That was his and Lin Xiaoya's home.

Below the crack.

Countless ordinary residents looked up in terror.

From the shadows, the monstrous, polluted creature began to crawl out.

And behind that familiar window.

Lin Xiaoya was standing by the table, looking blankly at the sky.

She had no idea what had happened.

She had no idea that the crack in the black door was coming straight for her.

Lin Yuan watched that scene.

The temperature in the entire core space of the tower seemed to drop to freezing point at that moment.

He didn't roar.

He simply raised his head slowly.

His eyes were as cold as ice at the end of an abyss.

"you."

"court death."
