Chapter 355: Chapter 320: The Third Layer That Cannot Be Surpassed

Within the second level of the Holy Temple Tower.

"Thrilling, it's just too thrilling!"

Having slain the eighty-seventh Sky Winged Dragon War Beast, the immense Power of Laws repelled the other Sky Winged Dragons dozens of feet away, and Ye Chen took a deep breath.

This time, engaging with so many Sky Winged Dragons, Ye Chen had almost fully unleashed all his strength!

His body bore over a dozen wounds, stained with quite a bit of blood.

Though he had sustained some minor injuries, Ye Chen felt an overwhelming surge of excitement!

In the past, Ye Chen had also fought powerful experts from the Divine Phoenix Clan with Rotating Pill mastery in the Azure Blue Mansion's Battle Spirit Hall, but those were one-on-one battles. This time, in the Holy Temple Tower, he faced hundreds of Rotating Pill invincible level Sky Winged Dragons at once, with both the danger and killing intent countless times greater than the Battle Spirit Hall.

Such combat situations truly gave Ye Chen a sense of intense exhilaration.

In the midst of battle, as he killed the Sky Winged Dragon War Beasts one by one, Ye Chen's mastery over his newly cultivated Eight Great Five Apertures Rotating Pill and the Great Five Elements Sword Light Sword Art became more profound, finding his attacks amidst the throng of beasts becoming increasingly effortless.

"For internal cultivation, I have the 'Taiyuan Chapter,' and the secret cultivation methods of the Taiyuan Divine Pill."

"For external cultivation, I've further cultivated the Great Five Elements Sword Light Sword Art."

"With these two techniques, I should be able to break through this second layer!"

Ye Chen's gaze swept across the numerous Winged Dragons in the sky, his mind already drifting toward the third layer.

"In the second layer, I can say that my battle with these Winged Dragons was evenly matched, but to be precise, I was only slightly superior."

"If the War Beasts in the third layer increase their combat power by tens of times like in the second layer, then I will be no match for them."

Ye Chen had many techniques at his disposal, aside from the Taiyuan Divine Pill and the Great Five Elements Sword Light Sword Art, there were also five great magical skills from the Taiyuan Chapter that were even more powerful than the Great Five Elements Sword Light, ready to be used.

Unfortunately, in the more than ten days after obtaining the Taiyuan Chapter, Ye Chen had devoted all his focus to practicing the Great Five Elements Sword Light Sword Art and had not yet cultivated the five great magical skills from the chapter, rendering them unusable for now.

Of course, besides the five great magical skills, Ye Chen could also utilise the physical combat techniques of the Nine Transformation Fighting Body, but at present, he had only comprehended up to the Sixth Transformation, making his combat power slightly weaker than that of the Great Five Elements Sword Light.

As for his most powerful technique, his native Chikara Sword, an extreme-grade saint artifact, and its life-threatening moves such as the native deflection and flying sword self-detonation, were measures Ye Chen would only resort to in life-and-death situations and would not use in the battles of the Holy Temple Tower.

After contemplating the upcoming third layer battle situation, Ye Chen's gaze hardened anew.

"No matter what, I have used the Eight Five Apertures Rotating Pills and the Taiyuan Chapter's Great Five Elements Sword Light Sword Art to slay many powerful Winged Dragon War Beasts on this second layer, proving my strength. This is probably enough for me to firmly establish myself within the Heavenly Sacred Palace!"

"The rest, no matter what I may face in the third layer, let's just have an all-out battle!"

"For now, step into the third layer first!"

With this thought in mind, Ye Chen took a few deep breaths, regulating the energy within his body before once again charging through the sky toward the Winged Dragons.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

From the first to the eighty-seventh, Ye Chen had spent nearly half an hour's time, and in the following period, with his techniques growing ever more masterful, Ye Chen's speed at slaying the invincible Rotating Pill level Sky Winged Dragon War Beasts also increased significantly.

After about ten more minutes, Ye Chen finally succeeded once again in slaying thirteen Sky Winged Dragon War Beasts, bringing his total number of defeated beasts to one hundred, the number needed to break through the second layer!

Ye Chen finally earned the right to enter the third level of the Holy Temple Tower!

Shortly after Ye Chen completed his slayings, Jiang Yao, in another space, also finished killing one hundred Sky Winged Dragon War Beasts, thereby earning the right to challenge the third level.

After both had completed the second level assessment of the Holy Temple Tower, the entire space outside the tower, where many elder disciples and Heavenly Saints stood, erupted in cheering and applause!

Two people entering the third level of the Holy Temple Tower simultaneously was an extremely rare event in the Heavenly Sacred Palace in nearly a thousand years!

Out of the twelve new disciples assessed, eight were eliminated on the first level, two on the second, and now, only Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, the last two, had successfully broken through to the third level.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

When the half-hour mark for the second level assessment had passed, and the third level of the Holy Temple Tower completely lit up, a series of drumming sounds signaled that Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had finally stepped into the third level of the Holy Temple Tower, ready to face the War Beasts of the third layer!

"The third layer!"

Facing the War Beasts of the third layer, both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao began to feel nervous.

They both remembered that before entering the Holy Temple Tower, the Heavenly Saint Envoy had mentioned that the third layer was a place that they, as new disciples, would definitely not be able to break through.

Even the Heavenly Saint Envoy, who had been in the Heavenly Saint Realm for several hundred years, found it very difficult to break through the third layer, let alone them.

After the second layer battles with the Sky Winged Dragon War Beasts, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao both felt that the envoy's words were absolutely true.

"What will the War Beasts of the third layer be?"

At that moment, facing the imminent third layer War Beasts, both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

The two looked on at the special spatial realm of the third layer of the Holy Temple Tower, which was many times larger than the second level, and quietly waited.

Outside the Holy Temple Tower.

Upon hearing the drumming from the third layer of the Holy Temple Tower, the people of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, who had been jubilant due to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's progress to the third layer, finally began to quiet down.

"The third layer, they've finally reached the third layer."

"This third layer, even many true Heavenly Saint experts, those in the early stages of the Heavenly Saint Level, cannot break through, let alone them."

"However, being able to stand in the third layer of space is already enough for those two little fellows."

In the void, various Heavenly Saints from the Heavenly Saint Mountain sighed with emotion.

There were some Heavenly Saints who were greatly interested in taking Ye Chen and Jiang Yao as disciples or in befriending them, and they rose from their seated positions in the void: "Prepare to welcome the two of them out of the Holy Temple Tower."

"Once they really reach the third layer, they will come out very soon!"

All the Heavenly Saint powerhouses believed that Ye Chen and Jiang Yao would not be able to get through the third layer of the Holy Temple Tower, and Ye Chen and Jiang Yao themselves also felt indescribably challenged by the third layer.

At this moment, the War Beasts of the third layer of the Holy Temple Tower finally appeared.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Following the howls that stirred the entire space, hundreds of gigantic beasts with wings spanning a thousand zhang swooped down from the airspace above the third layer of the Holy Temple Tower with a thunderous rumble.

Upon seeing these gigantic beasts, both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's eyes widened!

If the sight of the Sky Winged Dragons at the second layer had already astonished Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, now the appearance of these beasts, several times bigger than the Winged Dragons, made Ye Chen and Jiang Yao exclaim in shock.

Because, they had never imagined that the War Beasts of the third layer would still be Sky Winged Dragons!

These Sky Winged Dragons seemed like mature forms of those from the second layer, not only significantly larger but also their appearances had undergone a transformation.

The Sky Winged Dragons on the second layer were black, but the even larger ones in the third layer were colored flaming red, icy blue, and even the color of lightning mad dragons!

Clearly, the Sky Winged Dragons in the third layer had much greater comprehension of the Laws than those in the second layer, and were probably true Heavenly Saint Level Sky Winged Dragons that had fully mastered one of the five major celestial Laws!

Almost in the blink of an eye, this sky full of Sky Winged Dragons launched an attack on Ye Chen.

The flaming-red Sky Winged Dragon spewed out towering flames that even burned through the void, manifesting the Power of Laws of the Fire Element to perfection.

The icy blue Sky Winged Dragon, in turn, spewed out an icy mist that could freeze the heavens and the earth, paralyzing the void.

And the blue and white lightning mad dragon instigated a furious storm of thunder!

Burned by fire, encased in ice, and stirred by lightning…

Ye Chen, caught in the onslaught of hundreds of mature Sky Winged Dragons, felt completely numb in spirit.

"Heavenly Saint Realm!"

"Each of these Sky Winged Dragons has reached the level of the Heavenly Saint Realm!"

"Although it seems that the Sky Winged Dragons in this third layer have just stepped into the Heavenly Saint, mastering only one of the five major celestial Laws to perfection, the most powerful few lightning mad dragons have mastered two."

"But confronted with so many Sky Winged Dragons, I am completely unable to resist them, unless, I truly possess the strength to overpower most early-stage Heavenly Saints!"

Even initial stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm have their distinctions of strong and weak.

In the Rotating Pill Realm, by comprehending the "metal, wood, water, fire, earth" five major celestial Laws, only by fully comprehending one of the five major celestial Laws to perfection can one become an early-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse.

The most powerful early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses are certainly those who simultaneously comprehend all five major celestial Laws, reaching perfection in all five Laws.

The weaker ones are Heavenly Saints who have fully mastered two or three of the celestial Laws, and the weakest are those who have fully mastered just one celestial Law.

At this moment, the Sky Winged Dragons of the third layer that Ye Chen faced belonged to the weakest batch of Heavenly Saint Combat Power.

Even for the weakest batch, Heavenly Saint Combat Power is still Heavenly Saint Combat Power. Facing hundreds of them combined, he was definitely not someone Ye Chen could deal with now.

In an instant, Ye Chen's body was burned by the red Sky Winged Dragons, frozen by the blue ones, and in the next moment, those few lightning dragons struck countless bolts of lightning, slicing towards Ye Chen.

Boom!

Without any resistance, Ye Chen managed just in time to slash with a sword, repelling the weakest Winged Dragon, while he was eliminated from the third layer of the Holy Temple Tower in the burning, freezing, and lightning strikes.

Ye Chen, defeated!

"Huff huff."

Ye Chen, having come out of the Holy Temple Tower, still felt his spirit numb.

This was his first time confronting Heavenly Saint Level combat power head-on, facing so many Heavenly Saint Level Sky Winged Dragons, he was indeed unable to win and was defeated.

This third layer of the Holy Temple Tower was indeed beyond his current strength!

"At my current strength, I can handle the weakest early-stage Heavenly Saints. But any stronger early-stage Heavenly Saints, I cannot contend with."

"Perhaps only if I cultivate dozens of Five Apertures Rotating Pills and also comprehend and grasp the five divine arts of the Taiyuan Chapter, might I possibly get through this third layer of the Holy Temple Tower."

Although defeated, this kind of failure only fueled Ye Chen's determination to grow stronger!

At the same time that Ye Chen was eliminated from the Holy Temple Tower, another figure flew out from within.

This figure was Jiang Yao, who had suffered the same fate as Ye Chen, failing against the hundreds of Heavenly Saint Level Sky Winged Dragons and getting eliminated.

When both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao emerged from the Holy Temple Tower, there was already no one left inside the tower.

And at that moment, numerous Heavenly Saints in the void, who were already waiting for the two to come out, all converged towards the last eliminated two new disciples, the two genuine prodigies, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
