Lin Ye successfully passed the eighth floor.
On this floor, he faced six opponents. Six monstrous geniuses with Transcendence Golden Bodies.
Under the Heavenly Emperor's Fist and Frigid Sky Aurora, he defeated all six opponents.
On the ninth floor, seven opponents, he passed.
On the tenth floor, eight opponents, he passed.
On the eleventh floor, nine opponents, he passed.
However, he had used the Silver Star Holy Sword and Asura Hell on this floor. Only then did he manage to defeat the nine opponents. Even so, he had suffered injuries.
Fortunately, he had successfully passed the eleventh floor.
Whoosh!
Rays of light flashed and engulfed Lin Ye.
When the rays of light disappeared, Lin Ye appeared on the twelfth floor of the Tiny Spirit Tower.
Boom!
He had just arrived on the twelfth floor.
Lin Ye felt an unparalleled Saint Aura. The Saint Aura was terrifying to the extreme. This Saint Aura was stronger than the Half-step Saints he had seen before. It was comparable to the Saint Aura.
The sudden appearance of holy aura almost suppressed him.
Only at this moment did he understand.
His opponents were no longer Heavenly Humans, but half-True Saints.
However, they were stronger than ordinary half-True Saints. They were heaven-defying half-True Saints. In other words, this was the strength he would need to become a half-True Saint in the future.
First Tribulation half-True Saint.
It was a terrifying tribulation.
Even though they were only First Tribulation half-True Saints, their strength had surpassed First Tribulation half-True Saints by leaps and bounds. Just like Lin Ye, his cultivation was only at the Heavenly Five Qi Rising Sun Realm, but his strength was comparable to an ordinary half-True Saint.
This was truly retribution.
He had been too strong outside, and now, he had tasted the disadvantages of being too strong.
"Kill!"
Lin Ye let out a roar.
The Silver Star Holy Sword appeared in his hand, and 1100 rays of sword domain and 2,400 rays of metal domain erupted. The metal domain and sword domain merged, and the Silver Star Holy Sword's holy aura erupted.
With a slash of his sword, space was torn apart.
Heaven and earth returned to normal in a flash of cold light.
A First Tribulation half-True Saint had fallen.
On the twelfth floor, he passed.
Lin Ye had just stopped, but he didn't give Lin Ye any time to rest. Rays of light appeared on the thirteenth floor, and Lin Ye was brought to the Tiny Spirit Tower.
Buzz ~
The opponent that appeared on the thirteenth floor caused Lin Ye to frown.
He had assumed that there would be two First Tribulation half-True Saints on the thirteenth floor.
But he was wrong.
There wasn't one First Tribulation half-True Saint on the thirteenth floor, but two.
Two Second Tribulation half-True Saints.
The two Second Tribulation half-True Saints' holy auras suppressed Huang Xiaolong to the point of suffocation. If it was just an ordinary Second Tribulation half-True Saint, Huang Xiaolong would still be able to deal with it.
However, the two half-True Saints in front of him were Second Tribulation half-True Saints.
Although he hadn't reached the half-step sage realm, the Tiny Spirit Pagoda had already simulated his strength when he was a half-step sage. It allowed him to feel his strength when he was a half-step sage.
"Senior Sister lost on the thirteenth level."
"I wonder what Senior Sister's cultivation level is?"
"He must have reached the peak of the Transcendence Golden Body."
Lin Ye thought to himself.
To enter the Grand Xia World Ruins, one had to be at the Heaven Realm. Those above the Heaven Realm were not allowed to enter. If it weren't for this restriction, he would have thought that Nangong Xiyue was already a Half-Saint or even a Saint.
"Second Tribulation half-True Saint, hehe."
Lin Ye looked at the two powerful opponents, and his divine sense moved.
The Silver Star Battle Armor and Silver Star Sacred Sword appeared in his hands.
The battle armor and Huang Xiaolong became one. With a single thought, the battle armor and the Silver Star Sacred Sword appeared automatically.
At this moment …
Lin Ye wore the Silver Star Battle Armor and held the Silver Star Sacred Sword in his hand.
The set of Thousand Runes Saint Artifacts increased his strength by more than ten times.
This was the first time Huang Xiaolong had used a set of saint artifacts. He could feel the destructive power from the battle armor and the sacred sword. It felt as if he could shatter space with a single slash.
"Slash!"
Lin Ye let out a roar.
The Silver Star Sacred Sword slashed towards one of his opponents.
In an instant, space was torn apart.
Two Second Tribulation half-True Saints erupted with terrifying power as they charged towards Lin Ye.
In an instant, three figures clashed in the air.
The Battle Armor and Holy Sword were a set of saint artifacts. Compared to a single saint artifact, the Battle Armor was ten times stronger. Even if a Second Tribulation half-True Saint's attack landed on the Battle Armor, it wouldn't be able to injure him.
Lin Ye discovered that the battle armor could negate ninety percent of his opponent's attack.
On top of that, his Nine Divine Dragon Transformations and the first floor of the Absolute Defense.
In the end, the attack he received was less than one percent of his opponent's attack. With his self-healing physique, a Second Tribulation half-True Saint couldn't kill him.
Moreover, the peerless Thousand Runes Saint Artifact in his hand was able to injure his opponent with every slash.
Kacha ~
Fifteen minutes later …
A Second Tribulation half-True Saint was killed.
Lin Ye had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
After killing a Second Tribulation half-True Saint, Lin Ye felt more relaxed. He found an opportunity and slashed out again. The second Second Tribulation half-True Saint fell. The battle ended at this moment.
Lin Ye passed the Tiny Spirit Tower's thirteenth floor.
Swish!
Light enveloped Lin Ye.
It brought Lin Ye to the fourteenth floor.
On the fourteenth floor, there were three opponents.
Three Third Tribulation half-True Saints.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Ye killed the three Third Tribulation half-True Saints and successfully passed the fourteenth floor.
On the fifteenth floor, he killed three Fourth Tribulation half-True Saints, but he was killed by another Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint. On the fifteenth floor of the Tiny Spirit Tower, Lin Ye failed his challenge.
When he woke up, he was already transported back to the bottom of the Tiny Spirit Tower.
Lin Ye's appearance jolted all the experts back to their senses.
The way they looked at Lin Ye was as if they were looking at a monster.
More than that, there was fear in their hearts. Wariness towards Lin Ye rose from the bottom of their hearts.
"Junior Brother is amazing!"
A sweet smile appeared on Nangong Xiyue's beautiful face as she praised Lin Ye. Her voice was incomparably melodious, like the sound of nature, intoxicating countless experts.
"The fifteenth floor is too terrifying."
Lin Ye shook his head with a faint smile on his face.
If he was lucky, he could pass the fifteenth floor.
However, he had no confidence in passing the sixteenth floor.
He could imagine that there would be five Fifth Tribulation half-True Saints on the sixteenth floor. Not to mention five, even one Fifth Tribulation half-True Saint would be enough to kill him.
Of course, there was still hope for him to improve.
After all, he still had a lot of room for improvement.
As long as he was given enough time, passing the fifteenth floor wouldn't be a problem.
"Captain is still the strongest."
"Of course, how else could he become the captain?"
"Eh, that's not entirely true. Not all captains are called Lin Ye."
"Gongsun Yu isn't the captain, but in front of our captain, he's just an ant in front of a giant dragon. It's just that this ant thinks he's infallible."
"Shaochu, don't say that about Young Master Gongsun. He's the Gongsun Family's number one monster."
"Not to mention the Gongsun Family, the True Saints were smacked in the face by our captain, and now, the number one monster is doing the same. I suspect that our captain is the Gongsun Family's nemesis."
The Third Prince and the others.
Every single one of them was happy for Lin Ye.
Thinking about how they had been mocked by Gongsun Yu, they felt incomparably satisfied. This kind of opportunity didn't come every day, and they wouldn't let it go. They would ruthlessly trample on Gongsun Yu.
For a moment, Gongsun Yu's expression was incomparably ugly.
