At this moment, Ye Fan clearly noticed the system notifications! The [Devour] skill seemed to be absorbing the energy from the heavenly lightning as well.
"I didn't expect that the [Devour] skill could even absorb heavenly lightning," Ye Fan muttered to himself in amazement.
As Ye Fan continued absorbing the heavenly lightning, the impact on Lin San weakened. The combination of electricity and golden flames, which had been on the verge of destroying Lin San's body, became less potent. With the energy of the heavenly lightning diminishing, Lin San's regenerative ability began to outpace the damage being inflicted.
His body, tempered by the flames and lightning, grew even more powerful. Soon, the golden flames dissipated, and the relentless barrage of heavenly lightning also came to an end.
"Finally, it's over," Lin San exhaled deeply, slowly opening his eyes.
A faint white glow radiated from Lin San's body, and immense strength surged through him. Standing up, Lin San threw a punch into the air.
Boom!
A thunderous sound erupted as his punch reverberated through the surrounding space, shaking it. At the same time, a golden flame appeared in the palm of his outstretched hand.
The temperature of the golden flames was extraordinarily high, and the entire space around him was filled with an intense heat. The air itself seemed to warp under the force of the flames.
"Nine-Star Martial God!" Lin San exclaimed, gripping the Ye Fan Sword tightly in excitement.
In such a short period, he had ascended to the level of a Nine-Star Martial God.
"If I keep absorbing the energy from this training tower, could I break through to the level of a God King?" Ye Fan wondered to himself.
With that thought, Lin San immediately moved toward the stairs leading to the sixteenth floor. As soon as he set foot on the steps, he was hit by an overwhelming force. If he were still an Eight-Star Martial God, there was no way he could have withstood such terrifying energy.
But now, he was a Nine-Star Martial God!
His body, having been tempered by both fire and lightning, was tougher and more resilient than ever.
Boom!
As Lin San continued upward, the powerful force surged against him, causing him to stumble back a few steps.
"Not bad," he muttered after steadying himself, assessing the force he had just withstood. It was strong, but still manageable.
With his entire body tensed, Lin San pressed forward, taking step after step. The higher he climbed, the stronger the force became.
But soon enough, Lin San pushed through the overwhelming energy and reached the sixteenth floor.
The energy on the sixteenth floor was incredibly dense. Without hesitation, Lin San began absorbing it.
"The energy here is even more concentrated, and the absorption rate has increased," Ye Fan remarked.
At this point, the absorption rate had risen to 500 evolution points per second—far faster than before. Now that Lin San had reached the level of a Nine-Star Martial God, he could absorb and process this energy much more rapidly.
In a short amount of time, Lin San had absorbed a vast amount of energy, quickly digesting it.
However, advancing from a Nine-Star Martial God to a God King was not easy. It required more than just power; it required enlightenment.
After exhausting the energy of the sixteenth floor, Lin San continued upward.
Before long, he reached the eighteenth floor!
Upon stepping onto the eighteenth floor, Lin San was taken aback by its sheer size—it was far larger than he had imagined.
"What is this?" Lin San looked around in astonishment.
Based on his observations from the outside, the higher the floors went, the smaller they should have become. But on the final floor, the space was vast, almost like a separate dimension altogether.
The surroundings were so expansive it felt excessive.
"And... there doesn't seem to be much energy here," Lin San muttered, furrowing his brows as he surveyed the area.
He had expected the top floor to contain the most powerful energy, but to his surprise, there were no significant energy fluctuations. The floor appeared empty, devoid of anything of value.
Confused, Lin San walked forward.
Crack, crack, crack—
Suddenly, a strange sound echoed throughout the area. The ground around him began to tremble slightly.
"Hmm?" Lin San glanced around, sensing the vibrations.
Before long, an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from the surroundings! The sheer concentration of the energy was terrifying.
"What's happening!?"
Shocked, Lin San instinctively activated his cultivation technique to absorb the energy. But to his dismay, he found that the energy was impossible to absorb.
Instead, the energy rapidly coalesced.
Soon, it took the form of enormous… Demon Beasts!
"What is this!?" Lin San's eyes widened in disbelief.
The powerful energy had manifested into massive, terrifying Demon Beasts!
And in the next moment, these Demon Beasts charged at Lin San!
This is bad! Lin San's expression darkened. In a split second, he drew his Ye Fan Sword and slashed at the incoming beasts.
Clang!
As the Ye Fan Sword struck their bodies, a deafening sound rang out. However, the sword did not slice through them as expected.
These creatures had incredibly sharp claws, and as they swung at Lin San, their claws collided with the Ye Fan Sword, creating a powerful shockwave that sent Lin San flying backward!
