249 Chapter 249

Lin Fan saw the Stone Qilin crying on the ground, but he didn't stop just yet since he still had a few more attacks to test.

Finally when he had finished testing all his different attacks, Lin Fan stopped attacking the Stone Qilin.

The Stone Qilin noticed that the attacks had stopped and raised its head to see Lin Fan pull out a completely white sword.

But before it could get a good look at the sword, Lin Fan had disappeared once again. When Lin Fan appeared again, he was above the Stone Qilin and wildly slashed down at it.

The Stone Qilin didn't even have time to react as all of its rock armour had fallen off its body and landed on the ground.

The Stone Qilin had been cowering on the ground surrounding itself with the thickest rock armour that it had since it was unable to fight Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had naturally pulled out his Iron Eater Bone Artifact and after leveling up twice, the sharpness of this artifact had increased by more than ten times. With its peak Embryo Soul Realm laws, it was simple for the artifact to cut through the rock armour of the Stone Qilin.

The Stone Qilin recovered from its shock and just laid there with its limbs stretched, waiting for death. As a King Beast, naturally it had its intelligence, so it knew that it couldn't win. Once it had accepted that fact, naturally all it could do was hope that it would be as painless as possible.

However, Lin Fan had different plans for it, after all, this was a King Beast and a single mutated King Beast at that. This meant that this Stone Qilin was on the same level as Jin.

The only reason Lin Fan had beat it so easily was because of two reasons. One, he had obtained a law that was a natural counter to it. Two, he had a weapon that was far stronger than he was which allowed him to easily cut through its defenses which was the only advantage the Stone Qilin had.

Lin Fan came over to the Stone Qilin and reached out his hand, revealing a seed that was in his palm.

Lin Fan knew that the Stone Qilin had a certain level of intelligence, so he said, "Eat it and I'll let you live."

The Stone Qilin hesitated since it knew that this seed wasn't anything good, but what else could it do right now?

Of course it had considered just attacking Lin Fan while Lin Fan was close to it, but it could also tell that Lin Fan had his guard up and it couldn't find a single opening. So even if it wanted to attack, it knew that Lin Fan would be able to teleport away at any second. There was no way for the Stone Qilin to keep up with Lin Fan's speed if he chose to teleport away.

Since the Stone Qilin had no choice, it swallowed the seed from Lin Fan's hand.

Seeing that it swallowed the seed, Lin Fan then said, "Don't resist it or else."

The Stone Qilin's face hung down in hopelessness at this, but it knew it couldn't do a thing.

It could clearly feel that the seed was doing something inside of it, but it didn't resist the effects of the seed.

In the end, Brainy was currently only in the medium Platinum Realm just like Lin Fan right now, so there was no way for it to forcefully control King Beasts. However, if those King Beasts didn't resist and allowed its seeds to spread, naturally that was a different story.

The seed spread quickly across the nervous system of the Stone Qilin and soon it was fully under the control of Brainy. Once the seed controlled the nervous system, it was impossible to break free without dying or unless one was far stronger than Brainy.

When the Stone Qilin fell under the control of Brainy, Lin Fan put it away in his system pet storage.

The moment the Stone Qilin disappeared, the exit to this trial opened.

This trial was similar to the one that Jin and Yin had held in the planar crack, it also judged whether a trial was over based on the life energy of the beast. If the life energy was weak or completely disappeared, the trial would assume that it was over since the beast must either be dead or incapacitated.

Lin Fan didn't bother looking back at all as he headed right into the exit and walked a bit before coming out to a room that was dark blue in colour just like the rest. However unlike the rest, this room was much bigger, or rather much taller.

Unlike the other rooms, this one had a giant tower that was right in the center.

This room was over ten floors tall, which meant that it reached over thirty meters into the air.

Lin Fan was surprised by the giant tower in the center at first, but then he looked around to see Angela and Momonga already waiting for him in front of the tower. On the side, there were also the two cloaked figures, but they clearly weren't in any good condition.

It seemed like he had been the last person to finish the second trial.

For both Momonga and Angela, the trial had been easy. Naturally they couldn't find an opponent that could match Momonga and Angela, so the final beast they had faced wasn't even in the Ruler Realm.

As for the two cloaked figures, both of them were covered in blood. The larger one more so than the smaller figure. With the way he was swaying, it almost seemed like that larger figure would collapse at any moment.

However, even in their condition, neither of them considered ever asking for help. They both thought that they had to display as strong a stance as possible, otherwise they would be immediately turned on, so they didn't dare show any weakness.

When he came up to the tower, the moment he arrived, there was the sound of stone grinding as the door to the tower suddenly opened.

It seemed like there was some kind of sensor that had been judging the number of participants and since he was the last one, naturally the door to the third trial had opened.

The two cloaked figures didn't say a word as they headed into the tower, disappearing into the dark interior.

As for Angela and Momonga, they just waited patiently as Lin Fan read the wooden sign that explained this trial just like with all the other trials.

The wood sign read, "Congratulations on making it to the third trial. This trial is a test of will. Please make it to the top of the tower. Those that don't make it to at least the seventh floor will be disqualified."

Lin Fan turned to look at the tower again, but he couldn't see anything special about it. What did they mean by a test of will, wouldn't it be simple to make to the top?

Unless there were beasts that were inside, but how would that be a test of will?

Still, Lin Fan didn't wait as he headed into the tower.

There was nothing when he entered the door of the tower, but the moment he took a few steps forward, there was a pressure that fell down on him.

This pressure was one that made it hard for him to move, but it wasn't able to do too much to him in the end. After all, he had dealt with this situation before.

Gathering his life energy inside of him, he began using his suction force to begin absorbing the pressure that was around him, just like he had done with the Dragon Might.

It seemed like this test of will was similar to what had happened in the Inheritance Realm with the Dragon Might, but that hadn't been a challenge for Lin Fan. Rather that had been where he had discovered his suction force and had absorbed his first law, the power law that he had been using the entire time.

If this tower was similar to that tower, this meant that there would be another potential law for him to absorb which filled Lin Fan with excitement. After all, the more laws that he absorbed, the more powerful he became. The only problem was that his body wasn't strong enough, but that was a problem for another time.

It was a good thing that this was a test in the end, so the level of pressure felt by each person was adjusted based on their cultivation realm, so Lin Fan didn't feel the same level of pressure as the others. Otherwise if he did, this wouldn't be a test anymore, it would just be bullying.

Lin Fan slowly moved forward, absorbing a bit of the pressure before taking a step forward. Momonga and Angela just matched his pace in moving forward since neither of them were feeling any pressure.

Both Momonga and Angela were both at a higher realm than the object being used to create this pressure, so naturally they didn't feel any pressure inside this tower at all.

But when Lin Fan passed the two cloaked figures, it was clear that they were struggling. Not minding their wounds, it seemed like they would have struggled even if they weren't injured.

The two of them watched on as Lin Fan's group passed them, heading towards the stairs, but neither of them said a thing as they just stood there and cultivated, trying their best to move forward.

Once Lin Fan's group reached the stairs, they headed up immediately, but they stopped and turned as soon as they reached the top of the stairs and disappeared from the sights of the two below.
