Chapter 741: Chapter 379: Coming in Droves, Showdown with Zhen Chen_4
As their realms improved and their lifespans gradually increased, people were very eager to witness the rise of a Heavenly Pride and looked forward to seeing their battles.
Especially battles among the top few Heavenly Prides were attractive even to some peerless experts in the sect.
A year ago, in a battle between Chu Jungui and Wu Yuanbai from the Prime Origin Ten Outstanding, even a few True Inheritance Disciples, who were as elusive as Divine Dragons, made an appearance.
Among that mixed crowd, several Mountain River List Heavenly Prides were hidden, including Lin Jingtian, who had some past interaction with Lu Yun.
“With Lu Yun’s strength, he must have already passed the eleventh level, and if it hasn’t shown, it’s probably because he has hidden his results.”
As a Heavenly Pride on the Mountain River List, he had naturally passed the eleventh level of the Forbidden Tower long ago and knew its secrets.
Anyone who passed the Forbidden Tower’s eleventh level could choose to hide or disclose their results.
For most, the results from the Forbidden Tower represented an honor, and naturally, they would not hide them.
But for a few low-key Heavenly Prides, they preferred not to expose their true strength.
Because of this, Zhen Chen was only officially the second-ranked person behind the Mountain River List Heavenly Prides.
Even a very small number of people had strength exceeding that of the Heavenly Prides on the Mountain River List.
Decades ago, there was a low-key Heavenly Pride who rarely showed off their strength in public and never ascended the Mountain River List.
But one day, when they suddenly revealed their realm, they had already reached the eleventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm and became one of the Prime Origin Outstanding.
The so-called Prime Origin Ten Outstanding were actually Prime Origin Outstanding individuals.
All of these people were directly taken as personal disciples by powerful World Master Realm experts.
Although they were still Elite Disciples, their status was comparable to the Core.
However, advancing to the eleventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm was extremely difficult, and among so many Official Disciples of the Tai Yuan lineage, there were only eight who had reached the eleventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm up to now.
Many Heavenly Prides on the Mountain River List had been delayed in their breakthrough, not only to solidify their foundations but also possibly because they wanted to reach the eleventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
As for the twelfth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, the Tai Yuan lineage had not seen anyone reach it in nearly a hundred years.
Currently, the entire Qinghuo Palace had only one, and that person was from Tongtian Peak.
Apart from Lin Jingtian, several other Mountain River List Heavenly Prides were staring intently at the Forbidden Tower, with dazzling light erupting in their pupils.
For them, this was both an anticipated and complicated feeling.
What they anticipated was witnessing the rise of another Heavenly Pride, hopefully adding one more Heavenly Human Realm eleventh level to the Tai Yuan lineage.
The complexity arose because Lu Yun was to be their future competitor.
However, as time passed, there was still no activity from the glowing spheres upon the gateway, leading them to harbor some doubts.
They, unlike Lin Jingtian, were unaware of Lu Yun’s true strength.
…
The twelfth level of the Forbidden Tower.
Lu Yun was unaware of what was happening outside and unaware of the considerable stir he had caused.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
Since he had hidden his results, no one would know even if he passed the twelfth and even the thirteenth levels.
Moreover, he hadn’t forgotten his purpose for this trip.
Right now, his gaze was fixed on a young man in white who had suddenly appeared in the distance.
The moment Lu Yun first saw him, he was a bit surprised.
“I didn’t expect to encounter him here.”
Indeed, the young man in white was Zhen Chen, who once fought side by side with Lu Yun on the Longwu Continent.
However, this was merely an image of Zhen Chen left behind in the Forbidden Tower of days past and did not recognize Lu Yun.
Zhen Chen stood suspended in the air, his white clothes fluttering, and a cyan long sword condensed in his hand. Without a word, he charged straight at Lu Yun.
Thousands of Sword Lights burst down like a cascading waterfall.
This Swordsmanship Divine Ability was one that Lu Yun had seen before: the ‘Heaven-Piercing Star Slash’ wielded by Zhen Chen when they fought together against the powerful Heavenly Demon. However, its current power certainly could not match Zhen Chen’s display during their time on the Longwu Continent.
As the splendid sword radiance rushed towards him and the space in front began to resemble a collapsing starry sky, Lu Yun made his move.
