Chapter 330: 72, Instant Kill 2
Lin Yue opened the dossier and glanced through it, nodding slightly as he said, "There seem to be quite a few methods."
Baili Fengzhi spoke, "These are all hidden rewards from the Tianxia Building, but most of them are hard to achieve, requiring extremely high abilities. If you can meet the hidden criteria of those highest awards, Your Highness might be able to collect 108,000 command arrows within the first four levels."
"Hmm, indeed it's quite challenging."
Lin Yue nodded slightly, casually remarking, "The current leader of the Divine List, Heart Sword Master, even with his strength, would likely find these hidden rewards difficult to obtain."
Baili Fengzhi nodded and added, "Among them, the reward named 'Matchless under Heaven' was also attempted by Heart Sword Master, but since he couldn't kill the Blood Tai Sui, he couldn't claim that reward either. Historically, only five people in the Tianxia Building have ever received that award, three of whom were Princes and Princesses."
"Blood Tai Sui? Interesting."
Lin Yue revealed a hint of a smile and immediately produced the World Token, sending his Divine Thought into it.
With his transformed Divine Soul, even while entering into the Tianxia Building, he retained a degree of consciousness in the real world, much like multitasking without affecting his normal actions.
The next moment, his consciousness plunged into the Illusion Realm.
...
When his consciousness regained a sense of reality, Lin Yue had already appeared on the Second Layer of the Tianxia Building.
There weren't many cultivators on the Second Layer, less than ten in total.
After all, it was a tier among the top from the Cultivators of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, a rarity across the world.
"Let's begin."
Lin Yue paid no attention to those cultivators who recognized him and immediately walked towards the center filled with Mutant Beasts.
In the central area surrounded by Exotic Beast Stone Sculptures, there stood a stone stump with a faceless person's sculpture erected on it.
Lin Yue carelessly took out a command arrow and placed it into a hole on that stone stump; immediately, the arrow was swallowed up.
The next moment, the faceless stone sculpture slowly lowered its head, seemingly observing Lin Yue, and a deep voice emanated from nowhere:
"You are lucky, there is a suitable cultivator present for you."
Under the gaze of several cultivators inside the Tianxia Building, the faceless stone sculpture raised its head, seemingly looking in a certain direction. The deep voice echoed through the Tianxia Building:
"End of Days, undefeated in five victories; Cang Ya, fifty-eight victories seventy-one defeats.
"Debate on Tao starts after thirty breaths; the valuation of Tao will be between life and death, location... Heavenly Destiny Platform."
The next moment, a massive scroll unfurled in the air, spreading a supreme pressure throughout, painting a vivid landscape within the scroll.
Immediately, two beams of light fell from the sky, absorbing Lin Yue and another person within.
Once Lin Yue and that person entered the scroll, the cultivators on the Second Layer of the Tianxia Building couldn't hold back from speaking.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the Seventeenth Prince, right?"
"It's him, the End of Days, I remember clearly."
"After five years, this prince has finally come to challenge the Tianxia Building; how far do you think he can go?"
"The Third Layer should be no problem; how many consecutive victories, hard to say, it's only been five years."
"Definitely the Third Layer with five consecutive victories, after all, he's a Prince."
"I'll notify the sect immediately; the Elder specifically instructed that once we spot the Seventeenth Prince challenging the Tianxia Building, we should report it as soon as possible."
"My Master said the same."
While the cultivators observed, they also sent messages in reality, something not difficult for Divine Souls at the peak of the Four Symbols.
However, before the news could spread, the battle within the above scroll had already ended.
Lin Yue effortlessly insta-killed his opponent with a single stroke.
He received the highest reward of ninety-nine command arrows.
Then, he continued the fight.
Two consecutive victories, three consecutive victories, four consecutive victories...
As Lin Yue insta-killed his opponents one after another, the number of cultivators on the Second Layer of the Tianxia Building increased.
Initially, including Lin Yue, there were less than ten people; by his fifth consecutive victory, there were already over eighty people in this Second Layer, with more incoming.
Clearly, all were attracted to watch, some out of mere curiosity to witness this legendary Prince, some were commanded to observe.
When Lin Yue achieved five consecutive victories, the faceless stone sculpture once again issued ninety-nine command arrows and solemnly declared:
"End of Days, you have achieved five consecutive victories, thus unlocking the Heavenly Ascension Trial of the Second Layer. If you pass this trial, you will enter the Third Layer of the Tianxia Building, costing you one command arrow. Would you like to try?"
"Of course." Lin Yue nodded.
The deep voice of the faceless stone sculpture rang out:
"End of Days, the Heavenly Ascension Trial is simple, just dealing with Mutant Beasts, but it also comes in three difficulties..."
Before the faceless stone sculpture could finish stating the rules, Lin Yue said, "I choose the highest difficulty."
The highest difficulty of the Second Layer's Heavenly Ascension Test involved Mutant Beasts that were counter to him; theoretically, he could gain up to three hundred ninety-six command arrows.
Naturally, he chose the option with the most rewards.
The faceless stone sculpture slowly nodded and continued, "The trial scenes also come with different choices... Choosing a trial scene that benefits you, after your victory, there will be no command arrow reward; choosing a neutral scene brings neither reward nor penalty; choosing a scene that benefits the Mutant Beast, after your victory, the number of command arrows received will be doubled."
The rules were exactly the same as in the First Layer.
"I choose... the trial scene that is most advantageous to the Mutant Beast." Lin Yue was unwavering in his decision.
"Trial begins."
As the voice of the faceless stone sculpture sounded, among the Exotic Beast Stone Sculptures, one's petrification dissolved, transforming into a real Mutant Beast, and together with Lin Yue, they were drawn into the vast landscape scroll.
