Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 486: Chapter 481: The Limits of Tier Nine

Swish!

A bright light shone.

Ye Lingyin, who had been eliminated, was directly transported to the wasteland outside the Tower of Fortune.

”Lingyin, how did you get eliminated too?”

Just as she steadied herself, a girl of about her age hurried over, looking at her with surprise.

Ye Lingyin glanced at her and said sadly, ”My strength was too weak, I only reached the sixth floor, after all, reaching the top of the tower is still impossible...”

Muttering, she once again looked back at the Heaven-Reaching Tower behind her, gazing at the unreachable top of the tower.

”Reaching the sixth floor is already very impressive, don’t blame yourself too much.” The girl seemed to know what she was thinking and gently comforted her, ”As long as we keep trying, we’ll find those children someday. It’s not necessary to reach the top of the tower.”

”I hope so.” Ye Lingyin withdrew her gaze, her expression desolate, ”It’s been so long, and there’s still no trace of those children. They’re still so small. If only I had been able to protect them back then, none of this would have happened.”

”Don’t think too much about it, they’ve been strong since they were little, they’ll be fine.”

”Besides, I heard from the elders that those who can’t become a Lord are transported to another place.”

”As long as we keep getting stronger, we’ll find that place one day.”

”I hope so.” Ye Lingyin nodded silently, her expression finally softening a bit.

Suddenly, the girl thought of something and asked, ”By the way, Lingyin, who eliminated you? Your strength among all the Tier Nines shouldn’t be considered weak. Was it one of those guys from the Ten Great Realms?”

”No.” Ye Lingyin gently shook her head, ”It was someone I hadn’t seen before, a strange person.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but recall the battle with Lin You inside the tower, and her expression subtly changed.

A light breeze blew, lifting the tips of her hair at her temples, revealing a face of elegant beauty, blending perfectly with her white plain clothes, rendering everything around her pale in comparison.

If Lin You were here at this moment, he would be stunned, astonished that such a beauty was the one he had just confronted.

Of course.

No matter how beautiful, he would not hesitate to take action.

Women would only slow down his climb up the tower.

...

And so it was.

As time went on, the trial inside the tower reached a feverish stage.

Except for the Great Emperors and Kings who had already crossed the tenth floor.

The prodigies from various realms finally began to exert their strength, gradually catching up to Lin You’s progress, reaching the seventh floor of the Tower of Fortune.

Moreover, it was apparent that after crossing the fifth floor, fewer and fewer Lords were passing the test.

From the initial tens or hundreds of thousands, to less than ten thousand later on.

By the time they reached the seventh floor, only a mere hundred or so remained, almost all from the top-tier Great Realms, and even their ascent had slowed.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that more people gradually made it to the eighth floor.

And the words ”Primordial Realm,” which Lin You represented, were striking among them, causing the Lords waiting outside to cheer wildly.

”Eighth floor!”

”He really made it to the eighth floor!”

”His speed is probably even faster than those freaks from the Ten Great Realms!”

”Who would’ve thought there would be such an awesome Tier Nine Lord in our realm, truly the heavens bless the Primordial Realm!”

The Primordial Realm team continued to cheer, while Lords from other realms discussed incessantly.

There was just no other choice.

The words ”Primordial Realm” stood out conspicuously among the well-known Great Realms, impossible to ignore.

Some Lords had never even heard of the Primordial Realm before and were naturally surprised and amazed.

Meanwhile.

Within the eighth floor space.

Lin You’s agile figure moved swiftly in the dueling ground, dodging the attacks of the two ferocious beasts before him.

The entire space was full of pits and fragments, with plants toppled everywhere.

In a deep pit at the edge, three demon corpses lay.

This included a Skeleton Knight, a Mandala Flower, and a Giant Centipede.

Indeed!

Starting from the seventh floor, his trials were no longer battles with other Lords, but Tier Nine Lord Demons, and at the highest SSS-level at that.

The seventh floor was still manageable.

Only two Lord Demons were there, which he managed to begrudgingly handle.

But on the eighth floor, they skyrocketed to five!

Nonetheless.

He barely managed to take down three of them, with a Beast Type Netherworld Fire Fox and a Demon Type Hellfire Magma Dog still in relentless pursuit.

”Roar!”

The Magma Dog behind him roared, spewing a hot magma ascent that transformed into a fiery rain, crashing down on Lin You.

The coverage was so extensive that it nearly blocked all his escape routes.

”Damn!”

Lin You cursed loudly, as fire element demons were what he least wanted to face because they greatly restrained his skills.

Even the Dandelions he scattered in the dueling ground using the Power of Rule had been burned to ashes by these two fiery demons.

Not to mention the Deep Blue Illusion Realm, which was scorched the moment it appeared, completely unable to hinder their actions.

Swish!

At this moment, a red afterimage rushed in.

The Netherworld Fire Fox from the other side activated its Acceleration Skill, rapidly closing the distance, with Netherworld Fire surrounding its body, combining with the fiery rain above to completely engulf Lin You.

Boom——

Intense flames exploded at the edge of the battlefield, shaking the entire dueling ground.

Beside Lin You, the Ice Shield and the semicircular Guardian Barrier emerged, blocking the fierce combined attack of the two Lord Demons.

Seizing this opportunity.

With a wave of his hand, a series of wooden thorns shot up from the ground, precisely entangling the limbs of the Netherworld Fire Fox.

”Finally caught you, huh?”

Lin You sneered as he watched the firefly erupting from the Netherworld Fire Fox’s body, struggling desperately to break the vines around its legs.

He immediately extended his other hand, forming a Mirror Wall beside him. With a ”bang,” he blocked the pounce of the Magma Dog.

Then the Power of Rule burst forth, and his palm clenched tightly.

”Explode it for me!”

As the voice fell, the body of the Netherworld Fire Fox exploded, with countless icy wooden thorns erupting from within, turning it into a porcupine.

The Magma Dog, knocked back by the Mirror Wall, quickly got up, roaring angrily as it charged at him again.

The sharp front paw sliced through the air, erupting in a blaze of intense fire.

Flaming Slash, activated!

Even Lin You didn’t dare to take on this attack skill head-on.

He immediately activated the Shadow Skill to speed up and dodge to the side. The Ice Soul Great Saber slashed upward with a ”pfft,” cutting open the Magma Dog’s abdomen, exploding a pool of molten blood.

The Magma Dog howled in pain, its fury growing as it turned back to pounce at Lin You.

Gravity Field!

Without hesitation, Lin You unleashed Cyan Gang’s signature skill, and the gravity around them suddenly increased.

Boom!

The massive body of the Magma Dog was heavily pressed to the ground, sparking a cloud of dust.

Just as it was about to get up, cold wooden spikes shot through its head, eliciting a final wail before it completely lost its life and collapsed to the ground heavily.

[Congratulations, you have successfully passed the eighth-floor trial.]

[Teleportation is about to begin, please prepare yourself.]

”Phew—”

”Finally settled it.”

Hearing the prompt ringing in his head, Lin You exhaled a long breath, collapsing to the ground, immediately beginning to recover on the spot.

Handling five Tier Nine Lord Demons alone without any species was tremendously strenuous.

If it weren’t for the four Divine Fragments he possessed, with ample Power of Rule, he might have already succumbed and been defeated.

This was just the eighth floor alone.

He couldn’t even fathom how difficult the subsequent ones would be. Passing the tenth-floor challenge to gain the Rule Fragment was likely no easy feat.

Not to mention the even higher eleventh to thirteenth floors, heights only Emperor Level could reach.

With these thoughts.

Lin You accelerated the circulation of the Power of Rule, casting a Little Sun in the air, then began using the Healing Technique to recover himself.

...

On the other side.

Outside the Tower of Fortune.

After half a day of climbing, more and more lords were being eliminated, causing the entire wasteland to liven up, discussing the matters regarding the trial inside the tower.

And soon enough.

The various geniuses from each realm on the eighth floor also passed the eighth-floor trial, ascending to the ninth level of the Tower of Fortune, provoking another wave of exclamations.

Shua!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a beam of light suddenly lit up among the ranks of the Beast God Realm.

A towering dragon race lord covered in dragon scales appeared in their view, silencing everyone.

What followed was a wave of intense commotion.

”Isn’t that the youngest son of the Dragon Emperor, Long Ting?”

”Long Ting? Even he got eliminated!?”

”I remembered he had just ascended the ninth floor, how did he get eliminated so quickly?”

”What’s inside the ninth floor?”

The lords exclaimed continuously, looking towards the Beast God Realm’s party.

As the son of the Dragon Emperor, Long Ting, who had already gathered a Divine Fragment, was undoubtedly powerful.

Yet even so, he was still eliminated at the ninth floor with such speed, exceeding expectations.

What they didn’t expect was.

Not long after Long Ting appeared, beams of light lit up one after another in the Great Realms.

One by one, the prodigious geniuses, the Tier Nine Lords, were transported out, causing an uproar once again.

”What’s going on? Why are there so many people being eliminated so suddenly?”

”Does that mean there’s some kind of monster inside the ninth floor?”

”Even those from the Ten Great Realms were all eliminated!”

”Whoa! It’s true!”

The exclamations rose and fell among the crowd, with everyone speculating about the content of the ninth-floor trial.

Then, a shocking piece of news quickly spread.

Inside the ninth floor.

There were actually ten SSS-level Tier Nine Lord Demons!

All the lords who received the news were shaken and in disbelief.

Tier Nine Lord Demons weren’t particularly daunting for those seasoned lords.

But let’s not forget, the trials inside the tower prohibited summoning species.

Even the strongest lord could barely handle three to five lord demons, let alone ten at once?

It’s simply not feasible for Tier Nine Lords to clear this stage!

Clearly.

The ninth floor was already the highest level that Tier Nine Lords could achieve.
