Chapter 2573 Come Find Me

Shortly after acquiring his weapon, the match began.

However, neither Yuan nor his opponent moved.

Yuan wanted to see what his opponent was capable of, but it did not move at all.

Seeing this, Yuan took a step toward it.

The faceless figure also moved, but its movements made Yuan raise his eyebrows in puzzlement, as it moved like a complete amateur.

Yuan assumed it was because he was only on the first floor, so his opponents would all be easy to defeat.

He silently approached the faceless figure using Void Manipulation before defeating it in a single strike, proving his theory to be correct.

”Proceed.”

Not wanting to waste time, Yuan quickly rushed through the floor. As he climbed higher and higher, his opponent would become more skillful and have higher cultivation.

Yet, Yuan completely demolished all of his opponents with a single strike until the 10th floor.

And since he was fighting an artificial being, he used Void Manipulation without reserve.

Of course, there was still a chance his matches might be displayed in the lobby, so he left after defeating the 10th floor to ask about it.

”Endless Assault? No, that mode is the only one that wonʼt be displayed.” The worker responded to Yuanʼs question.

Once his concern was resolved, Yuan returned to climbing Endless Assault with an ease of mind.

In less than an hour, he reached floor twenty-five. Then, after another ten minutes, he reached floor thirty.

At this point, all of his opponents moved like experts, and their cultivation was even at Ninth Level Sixth Ascension.

But despite their superior cultivation, Yuanʼs combat expertise and techniques were still far superior, allowing him to continue defeating his opponents, albeit with more difficulty and a little more time.

Eventually, he reached the 40th floor.

”?!?!”

Yuanʼs eyes widened with surprise when his opponent from the 40th floor started exuding Eternal Essence even before the match began. Although it was very subtle, it didnʼt change the fact that he would start fighting opponents who could wield Eternal Essence.

”Now that I think about it, I havenʼt tried using Eternal Essence in this world yet,” Yuan muttered in a low voice, as heʼd been focused on Limitless this entire time.

When the match started, Yuan immediately tried to use Eternal Essence.

However, when he tried, a notification popped up before him.

”What?” Yuan wore a puzzled look on his face, wondering if it meant that he was specifically granted access by Gaia, the creator of the system.

”Am I… being watched by Gaia right now?” Yuan frowned at this thought.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could realistically do in this situation.

Then, another notification appeared.

”?!”

Yuanʼs eyes widened at this notification, which confirmed his suspicion that Gaia could see and hear him through the system.

”Who are you? Are you an Eternal? Why did you bring me to this world?”

However, the system did not respond.

”I know you can hear me!”

The system repeated.

Yuan wanted to keep questioning Gaia, but the match had begun, and his opponent was already attacking him.

”Get lost, I am busy here!” Yuan roared as he unleashed a wave of Eternal Essence at his opponent, defeating them in the blink of an eye.

”Answer me, Gaia! Who are you?!”

But alas, Gaia would not respond again, no matter how many times he tried speaking to them.

”Fuck… at least give me a hint or something.” Yuan cursed at it and gave up on trying to communicate with Gaia.

With no other choice, Yuan continued to climb the floors.

However, every single floor after the 40th floor greatly increased in difficulty, and the Eternal Essence wielded by his opponents became more profound and powerful.

By the time he reached the 45th floor, his opponent wielded Eternal Essence that was on par with Saaruk during their last fight.

Meanwhile, their cultivation peaked at the 7th Ascension. Of course, now that they were wielding Eternal Essence, their cultivation had become irrelevant.

”Now this is getting really interesting…” Yuan mumbled with an excited smile on his face.

A moment later, they clashed, their Eternal Essence scattering in every direction.

Meanwhile, shortly after Yuan reached the 40th floor, the lobby went into an uproar, with nearly everyone gathered before a screen displaying three lists of names.

Obviously, these lists were the rankings for the three available modes at Gaiaʼs Sanctum.

As for what caused the uproar… the ranking for Eternal Assault was suddenly updated with shocking results that left everyone shocked and speechless.

”L-Look! Someone else has managed to breakthrough past the 40th floor for the first time in over a hundred years!”

It was such a big deal simply because there were fewer than 10 names on the ranking that had managed to ascend past the 40th floor, and all of these people were legendary figures. However, the newly introduced name was one that most people were not familiar with.

”Player Yuan? Who the heck is that?”

”Surely, it canʼt be the same Player Yuan from the rumors, right?”

”Thatʼs impossible! I investigated him recently and learned that heʼd only just started participating in Gaiaʼs Sanctum less than two months ago! Moreover, his cultivation is nowhere near enough to reach the 40th floor, much less climb past it!”

”To think there are two people with the same name, both of whom have been doing ridiculous things… what a crazy coincidence.”

The crowd only continued to grow larger as time passed, as pretty much everyone wanted to see how far this individual could climb.

A few hours later—

”My lord! Heʼs reached the 41st floor! And in such a short time, too!”

The crowd started celebrating as if it were their own achievement.
