Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

“The existence of this Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda has been for far, far too long.”

“It has also been dormant for far too long and needs someone to reactivate it.”

Looking up at the majestic tower that seemed unreachable, Her Highness Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh:

“It's a pity that none of the inheritors back then were able to reach the Supreme Realm through it.”

Lin Ye: “……”

He rolled his eyes, simply watching the red-haired girl, without saying a word.

But in his heart, a monstrous storm had already been stirred up.

If the Supreme Realm was so easily attainable,

then so many amazing and peerless figures throughout history would not have turned into a pile of dust in the end, ultimately returning to nothingness and becoming a flashpoint in the vast history!

Even he… was just an opportunist who had managed to achieve so much by taking some shortcuts.

But these achievements were insignificant in front of true experts.

Perhaps just a speck of dust that could be annihilated with a flip of the hand.

How could an ant compare to the vast sky!?

“Then… how can I be like those previous inheritors!?” Lin Ye looked at Her Highness Jiang Li, the red-haired girl, and couldn't help but ask.

Suddenly, mist surged throughout the entire space, sweeping over like layers upon layers of towering waves.

Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged as he stared at the seemingly endless gray mist.

“The waves of shock, the path of every strong person is like sailing in this endless and vast sea, the final destination is the same, but they each have their own path.”

Her Highness Jiang Li glanced at Lin Ye and said, “You are the same, with your own path to becoming a strong person, either reaching the pinnacle, or collapsing midway, or being buried at the hands of the enemy… Each choice determines a result.”

“So… I can only tell you some methods to assist in cultivation, but in the end, you still need to walk your own path.”

“Just like you now, you are not qualified to become the master of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.”

“What level of strength is needed to become the tower master!?” Lin Ye's eyes sparkled as he stared at Her Highness Jiang Li and asked.

“You!?”

“Hahaha… your strength is too weak, even if you cultivate for countless epochs, I'm afraid you still won't be able to be the master of this Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, because ordinary life and true Primal Chaos life are two completely different levels.”

“Primal Chaos life…” Lin Ye murmured, and then felt the entire gray mist sweeping down, bringing him a sense of suffocation.

However, a great terror seemed to be isolated from the outside, only able to send him endless deterrence and intimidation.

“There are some nouns that you cannot say in this universe right now, because your strength is too weak, and the rules here are somewhat restrictive.”

The red-haired girl said indifferently, then turned around and walked towards the scarlet giant tower not far away.

“Come with me.”

“There are some answers you want to know inside, and after you learn them, you may be able to discover and understand them yourself without me explaining.”

Her Highness Jiang Li's voice floated uncertainly in Lin Ye's ears, calming his wisp of consciousness.

“Okay!”

He suppressed the excitement and anticipation surging in his chest, and followed this 'intelligent life' towards the real Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.

In the past, during battles, he could rely on the endless divine power of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda for blessing, in order to fight beyond his level.

He thought he had initially mastered this mysterious giant tower.

But today, after truly entering it, Lin Ye realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.

The divine power he had borrowed in the past was just the divine power that the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda had absorbed on its own, not the power he had after mastering it.

In addition, regarding the matter of becoming the master of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda… he now truly and completely understood the specifications of this mysterious giant tower.

It was many times stronger than the Star Tower that Luo Feng had recognized as its master.

“Only by becoming the master of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda can I find the secret of my coming to this world, and perhaps I can use it to return to that world…”

Thoughts churned in his mind.

“If your mind is not steady, the road will be difficult to walk!”

Seemingly aware of the mottled and complex thoughts in Lin Ye's mind at the moment, Her Highness Jiang Li couldn't help but remind him.

“……” Hearing this, Lin Ye was slightly stunned, then quickly recovered.

“I understand, thank you, Your Highness Jiang Li.”

“You're welcome, just a small reminder, it's good if you can listen to it.”

The red-haired woman said without turning her head, her tone was very light, she was still walking unhurriedly, extremely firm.

“Her background… why does it seem a little familiar!?”

Looking at this graceful figure from behind, a deceased person involuntarily flashed through Lin Ye's mind.

It's just that this figure is very blurry, and even Lin Ye's current will and memory can't capture it.

“Then what can I get inside the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda now!?”

Lin Ye looked at the magnificent tower that towered into the clouds and asked curiously.

“Guess!?”

Her Highness Jiang Li said with a smile, “As long as your strength and progress meet the standards here, I will give you the corresponding benefits as planned.”

“……” After pondering for a moment, Lin Ye asked, “Then… are there any big benefits!?”

“Of course!”

“The existence of this Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda is already a peerless Primal Chaos treasure, being able to possess it is the greatest benefit, not to mention that there are many restrictions and strange treasures inside, but…”

“You can't use them in this universe right now, even the lowest level ones will encounter resistance from the rules here…”

“Forget it, it's useless to tell you these things, you don't understand them now.”

The red-haired girl shook her head gently and looked up at the gray mist rolling in the sky, seemingly a little helpless.

“The will of this universe is too stubborn, rather be broken than be a tile, really…”

“……” A deep gleam flashed in Lin Ye's eyes, but he didn't speak.

He knew a lot of things, but he couldn't say them out loud.

“But…” The red-haired girl's beautiful eyes finally moved from the magnificent tower to Lin Ye, staring at the latter and said, “In fact, the biggest benefit of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda is already on you.”

“……Huh!?” Hearing this, Lin Ye frowned slightly, and a look of thought appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, a lightning bolt seemed to flash through his mind, making him slightly surprised.

“Your Highness Jiang Li, are you talking about…《Primal Chaos Secret Canon》!?”

“That's right!” The red-haired girl nodded, her eyes filled with a smile.

And on her body, an ancient and simple mysterious meaning involuntarily emanated.

“According to the original plan of the Primal Chaos Secret Canon, you would be given cultivation after you broke through to become a Universe Master or a stronger existence, to help you break through the realm all the way, but I didn't expect it!!”

“Back then, you were so lucky that you obtained such a supreme secret method at that realm.”

“Because this secret method directly points to the highest realm, even the old monsters of the ancient continents may not be able to take a look at it even if they exhaust everything.”

As she spoke, Her Highness Jiang Li handed Lin Ye a silver metal card engraved with a scarlet strange pattern: “This is a pass to the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, no matter where you are, you can use this pass to travel through time and space and return here.”

“Can you really come here from anywhere? Wouldn't that be considered life-saving!?”

“But you can only use it three times, so be careful!”

“When you truly become the master of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, you can enter and leave here at will, without restrictions.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Lin Ye smiled and nodded slightly, and directly put away the pass, secretly saying in his heart: “If I become the master of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, then my strength will be very top-notch.”

“By the way, besides the Primal Chaos Secret Canon you mentioned, what else can the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda provide?” Lin Ye suddenly asked.

“What else can it provide!?” Her Highness Jiang Li looked at him carefully and said, “It can provide a lot, provide powerful opponents, provide cultivation space and enlightenment rooms… anything you can imagine can appear here.”

“……So powerful!?” Lin Ye turned his head in surprise.

“That's right.” After thinking for a while, the red-haired girl Jiang Li nodded and said, “The existence of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda was originally to cultivate one peerless powerhouse after another.”

“The judging criteria are actual combat power and will assessment, just like you were in the hands of Venerable Burning Dust before.”

“Ah!?” Lin Ye frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, “Did you already know me at that time??!”

Meeting Lin Ye's unbelievable gaze, the red-haired girl nodded lightly and said, “I already existed when you activated the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.”

“Over the years… I have been watching you silently become stronger, but only providing you with a little bit of help, it's all up to you.”

“After all, I am just an intelligent life, and I don't have too many permissions to help you.”

“Unless you meet certain conditions, I can give you a little help.”

Seeming to think of some past events, the red-haired girl's eyes were slightly lowered, and there was some hesitation in her words.

This feeling fell into Lin Ye's ears, but it was expressed very clearly.

“In that case, those few supreme treasures of mine should also be your masterpiece.” Lin Ye tilted his head and asked.

The reason why he suddenly asked this question was because he found that the voice of this red-haired girl was 99% similar to the voice of the previous system.

Out of curiosity and confirmation, Lin Ye asked directly.

“Of course! And not only that.”

The red-haired girl raised her chin proudly and continued, “I was also the one who gave you the attribute points for killing those little monsters in the wilderness.”

“Otherwise… could your strength have improved so quickly!?”

“……” For a moment, many doubts in Lin Ye's mind were solved.

Some of his previous guesses also disappeared at this moment, ushering in the answer.

“However, the power I can use later can only raise you to the realm of a Universe Venerable. If you want to forcibly improve, it will definitely stimulate the resistance of this universe, and the gain will not be worth the loss.”

There seemed to be stars flashing in Jiang Li's eyes, looking very bright.

She looked at Lin Ye and said word by word, “It is also because you meet the conditions that I will treat you specially.”

“Thank you!” The latter smiled gratefully, showing an unprecedented amiability and kindness on his face.

He actually had some ideas in his mind about breaking through two major realms in a row.

But…

In the absence of any clues,

he was just guessing.

He didn't delve into it specifically, because it took too much time and energy.

And according to this Jiang Li, it seems that he can continue to improve like this in the future.

“Don't look at me like that, there won't be a next time.”

The red-haired girl glanced at him, “Cultivation is about being down-to-earth, step by step, don't rely on these shortcuts, it's not good for your future improvement.”

“……Yeah.” A look of contemplation flashed across Lin Ye's face, then he nodded heavily.

“Okay, follow me into the tower!”

I saw the red-haired girl turned slightly sideways, and a vortex passage entrance similar to a white hole slowly appeared on the first floor of the scarlet tower on his side.

Immediately, Jiang Li glanced at Lin Ye and nodded, then turned and stepped into it.

The latter also followed closely and entered directly.

“Whoosh～Buzz～”

As he moved his steps, the world in front of him changed in an instant.

Lin Ye found himself on a piece of mysterious yellow earth, and the terrifying gravity generated around him could directly kneel even an ordinary Marquis Immortal.

The temperature of the ground under his feet was frighteningly high.

Not only that, but he could also feel the amazing density and divine power concentration that was different from ordinary secret realms.

The environment here was a bit too terrifying, even if a Universe Venerable came here, I'm afraid they would die on the spot before long.

Further away on the ground, terrifying dark and deep hurricanes were rapidly sweeping towards here from all directions.

In the sky, there were also meteors carrying blazing flames streaking across the sky and falling here.

“Lin Ye, if you want to get benefits from the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, the first test you need to experience is this, go all out!”

Jiang Li's calm voice echoed in this space: “And I… am waiting for your record, so that I can arrange things for you.”

“Hoo～～”

Lin Ye took a deep breath without hesitation——

“Burial Star!”

At this moment, the frantically surging divine power around him turned into streams of light that spun around him frantically, touching each other with incomparable mysterious and strange means, and immediately turned into a handle of sword light and shadow, centered on Lin Ye and swept around.

When encountering danger, strike first!

In the blink of an eye, terrifying hurricanes and blazing meteors that seemed to be able to destroy everything came, almost enveloping Lin Ye entirely.

“Kill!”

Accompanied by a low shout, an extremely dazzling blind light bloomed centered on Lin Ye.

Like the rising sun, the noisy and rampant terrifying divine power turned into sword light and blades, directly tearing apart everything nearby.

In the next moment, countless fragments quickly annihilated into dust, and these attacks could not shake him at all!

“Come again!”

At the heart of the storm, Lin Ye raised his head to look at the desolate sky, which seemed like the end of the world, and roared loudly.
