Crazy Leveling System

Chapter 1313: An Increase in Difficulty

Upon entering the void-layer between spaces, Yi Tianyun felt as though he were the master of this place, able to observe everything. He could see clearly into every area, no secrets remained hidden.

“That single level-up sure paid off!”

Surveying the scene, he realized he could slip into other realms. If he went elsewhere in the future, he could again traverse the void. Sneaking off with treasures would be as easy as taking them from his own pocket!

Even as he prepared to continue onward, the Venerable Spirit suddenly appeared in the void. Since this was the Venerable Spirit’s domain, he could come and go as he pleased, any concept of “void” was under his supervision. No one could escape his control.

“You’ve actually managed to break into this void?”

For once, Yi Tianyun saw the Venerable Spirit reacting differently, he looked genuinely shocked. The artifact spirit had previously been certain there was no way Yi Tianyun could enter other regions.

But now, here Yi Tianyun was able to access any area, thoroughly undermining the Venerable Spirit’s earlier confident claims. It was a blow to the spirit’s pride, like a slap to the face.

“Senior Venerable Spirit, so I can go anywhere I want now?” Yi Tianyun asked with a faint smile, mirroring the calm expression the Venerable Spirit often wore. “You said it yourself: If I can enter other spaces, you wouldn’t interfere.”

The Venerable Spirit studied him for a moment, then let his usual smile return.

“I did say that. You’re free to visit any space, and I won’t stop you. However, any dangers in those spaces won’t be removed on your behalf. It’s your own decision how to handle it.”

With that, the Venerable Spirit disappeared from the void, making no move to block Yi Tianyun. He kept his word; he had no intention of going back on it.

Once the Venerable Spirit left, Yi Tianyun let out a small sigh of relief. If the spirit had decided to renege, it would hardly be surprising. Thankfully, he hadn’t. After all, Yi Tianyun was merely crossing into the void-layers, perhaps it wasn’t as severe a matter to the Venerable Spirit.

Of course, by doing this, Yi Tianyun was slightly undermining the tower’s system: normally, people had to tackle each trial alone, whereas he could now join someone mid-challenge, disrupting the usual order. But apparently, the Venerable Spirit had no plans to stop him.

Yi Tianyun quickly scanned his surroundings. Domain Lord Liuli’s location appeared before his eyes: she was besieged by countless metal figures attacking from every side.

Stones, trees, even the golden grass on the road, everything transformed into one of these metal figures and pounced. These metal men varied in size, but each possessed late-stage God Monarchs cultivation.

Though they were weaker than Domain Lord Liuli, their sheer numbers were overwhelming, forcing her into a grueling battle. She’d have to hold them off continuously with no sign of when it might end. By the looks of it, the rules for this stage required enduring their onslaught for a full month to pass!

With so many metal men attacking non-stop, holding out for an entire month was indeed frighteningly difficult.

And it wasn’t just Domain Lord Liuli, other challengers were also facing the same predicament, locked in fierce combat. The scariest sight was a mountain suddenly standing upright as a colossal metal being, smashing downward to flatten the trial-takers.

Clearly, the people who had entered this world were not few in number. Many cultivators besides Yi Tianyun and Domain Lord Liuli were still around. He figured more still lingered in other corners of the tower, this place was meant to select a disciple, so it wouldn’t be limited to a single batch. Once beads were reclaimed, the process would restart.

In any case, with the allure of Heavenly Venerable Power here, it made sense that plenty of experts would flock to the tower, braving any danger for a chance at immense opportunity.

“Quite a sight…”

Yi Tianyun turned his focus back to Domain Lord Liuli. She was fending off the metal men with her blue ribbon, seemingly without too much difficulty. She didn’t need to kill every enemy, merely survive for a month to pass.

“As expected, she’s strong. It doesn’t look like she’s in trouble at all.”

He chose not to appear and help her. Every cultivator, especially one at her level, carried pride in their own strength. If there was no real danger to her, offering unsolicited assistance would be insulting. Besides, Yi Tianyun’s main goal here was testing the void and continuing his own cultivation.

Inside this void-layer, he felt the Illusory Metal Power was significantly denser than in his original safe zone. That made it the perfect spot to refine his metal-based physique for the third layer of the Illusory Metal Divine Secret Art.

However, progress was still slow, he’d need a lot of time to strengthen his body enough.

“Too slow… It’d be nice if I could speed it up,” he muttered. Just then, he sensed a strange shift in Domain Lord Liuli’s area, causing him to open his eyes again.

Several giant metal figures had appeared around her. Each one carried half-step Heavenly Venerable might, thoroughly surrounding her so she couldn’t escape.

Boom!

Elsewhere, some challenger was smashed to pulp by one of the massive metal men, demonstrating an absurd level of power. And Domain Lord Liuli was now facing several simultaneously, intensifying her trial’s difficulty many times over.

“Even with half-step Heavenly Venerable cultivation, facing so many at once is insane.” Yi Tianyun frowned. “This seems off. Could the Venerable Spirit be cranking up the difficulty to make me intervene?”

None of the other half-step Heavenly Venerable challengers faced that scenario. It was likely the difficulty had been raised just for her!
