"Oh, young one, you managed to obtain a divine essence. Though this object may be slightly flawed, it is indeed a fine thing! If you don't like it, you may give it to me!"At this moment, the voice of the saintly female ghost, filled with a measure of delight, called out in Benjamin's mind.Hearing this, Benjamin once again gripped the crystal tightly, beginning to examine it carefully. But after looking for a while, he couldn't detect any special function, feeling for a moment like he had fallen into a fog."Ha ha ha, divine essence is the crystallized quintessence of each God, used to gather the force of law within the body. Only after a God falls can their divine essence appear once again in this world. Of course, this divine essence is not complete and might bear scars from battle. But if you absorb it and nurture it with the force of faith, it can be healed in a hundred years, or perhaps a few hundred or even a thousand. Young one, this thing has no use to you; it will perfectly
"Young man, the object indeed lies within this tower. However, in my current state, I cannot access the Sky-Piercing Tower. Therefore, I need your assistance to ascend to its highest floor."After a long, contemplative pause, the maiden's ghost suddenly turned towards Benjamin, laying out her request.Taken aback, Benjamin's gaze wandered back to the ancient tower."Elder, are you suggesting this is the legendary Sky-Piercing Tower?""Hmm? So? You're aware of its history?"Hearing Benjamin's query, the maiden's spectral visage registered slight astonishment. She spun around, her gaze filled with a touch of skepticism."Well, I'm not entirely certain, but I've come across ancient scriptures indicating that this tower connects to the Heavenly Realm. Elder, could it be that the Roard Linked Heaven originates from within this very tower?""Ha ha ha! How should I know? In my past life, I never set foot in the Sky-Piercing Tower. Now, there's but one chance left. I hope it can be unlocked o
"Human, take good care of it!"The young lady's voice reached his ear, leaving Benjamin puzzled. He did not understand her purpose. But before he could reply, she turned and rode away on the Big Dragon.Soon, monsters all around were released, rushing out once again.Seeing them, Benjamin felt a chill. He did not dare linger, and quickly said to Young Dragon: "Let's go home!"They fled from Sky-Piercing Tower, Young Dragon at his heels. The ghostly saint returned to Celestial Palace, following Benjamin into the tower.Bang!The moment Benjamin stepped onto the last stair of Sky-Piercing Tower, a loud noise erupted. The barrier shook as though something had struck it, the tower quaking violently.Without looking back, Benjamin rushed into the Sky-Piercing Tower, and the space outside closed up, even the stairs vanishing.Roar!Howl!Monstrous cries continued. But the Sky-Piercing Tower transformed into a beam of light, speeding toward the stars.Though the monsters were powerful, the t
Roar!Walking along, the Young Dragon suddenly let out a soft cry. From its tone, Benjamin could understand that the little creature was hungry and wanted to hunt.After pondering for a brief moment, Benjamin felt confident in their combined strengths. Even if they encountered aggressive beasts like the Turtle Cranes, they could still manage to escape unharmed.Hence, he decided to let the Young Dragon hunt, while he would follow behind, scouting the area for any valuables.So, man and dragon made their way swiftly through the dense forest. Suddenly, the Young Dragon let out another soft cry. It then rapidly flapped its wings, darting towards a specific spot in the forest.Benjamin was slightly taken aback. He hadn't sensed anything nearby, yet the Young Dragon had detected its prey. It seemed the creature's senses were sharper than his own.Regardless, Benjamin didn't dwell on it. The stronger the Young Dragon became, the better for him.Seeing the Young Dragon fly off, Benjamin hurr
BOOM!One by one, wolves fell like tofu blocks, crushed by the Mighty Bear's claws, their carcasses littering the ground.Meanwhile, the Wolf King remained fixated on the Mighty Bear. It refrained from attacking, adopting a casual stance, merely observing the unfolding chaos alongside its pack.Observing this, the Mighty Bear's rage intensified. It yearned to charge and crush the Wolf King. But the sheer number of wolves was daunting. Even after decimating numerous foes, they kept coming, seemingly aiming to exhaust the bear's energy.Mighty Bear, of course, discerned the Wolf King's strategy — to wear it down before dealing the final blow. Yet, the ripened spirit fruit beckoned. Consuming it promised a tremendous power surge, rendering any strategy by the Wolf King moot. However, reaching the fruit amidst this onslaught seemed an insurmountable task. Hence, all it could do was persevere.All this while, as Benjamin darted through the woods, his visage grew increasingly grim. Despite
"Ah, kid, didn't you say you didn't need it? Why did you collect its corpse then?!" Following behind Benjamin, the saintess's voice continued to ring out. But at this moment, Benjamin acted as though he heard nothing, accelerating his pace. Alan flew beside him, its eyes extremely cautious, watching the soul-filled female city warily."Chuckle, you truly have many hidden treasures on you. Had this been a few months ago, perhaps I would have taken them from you. But now, it's unnecessary. If you can help me restore my body, maybe I will follow you! Hee hee!"Benjamin paid no mind to her words. At this time, he wanted to reach Young Dragon's location as quickly as possible.Although he had fled separately from it, the soul mark he left on it enabled him to find Young Dragon's location without wasting much time.However, as he neared Young Dragon's location, Benjamin's face turned to one of astonishment. For Young Dragon was hiding on a tree branch, under which was a cave concealed by vi
"Take another slash of mine!"Seeing the Cobra's gaping mouth approaching, Benjamin didn't hesitate, wielding his blade with a fervor that aimed directly into the creature's maw.A powerful impact ensued. The Giant Cobra was sent sprawling back several meters into the pond. Meanwhile, Benjamin was catapulted to the shore, landing a few meters away from his initial position.But before he could fully gather himself, a white shadow suddenly bolted from a nearby cave. It made a beeline for the White Lotus, intent on snatching it from right under Benjamin and the Cobra's noses.This unforeseen development caught Benjamin off guard. He hadn't expected the Fiery Fox, who had previously fled, to make such a bold return attempt for the Lotus.His heart aflame with indignation, Benjamin roared: "You vile creature! Halt!"Yet the Fiery Fox was a mere blur, darting toward the water. With shrill chitters emanating from its throat, the waters rumbled and every single lotus flower was drawn out, ho
In the myriad times he had been wronged at its paws, Benjamin had struggled fiercely to contain his wrath, yearning to capture and give the creature a taste of its own medicine. Yet, the speed of this Fiery Fox was truly unparalleled. Furthermore, the spatial realm that Benjamin had recently unveiled seemed to be utterly ineffective against it.As he watched the Fiery Fox gallop further away, nearing the cave's entrance, a shadow of despair descended upon Benjamin's heart."Could it be that I'll just let it escape thus?" he mused.Contemplating for a moment, Benjamin found himself powerless to pursue. However, before he could even muster an action, the entire cave was suddenly enveloped in ominous darkness. Swiftly from above, a magnificent blaze streaked down, headed straight for the Fiery Fox.Boom!A wave of intense heat radiated through the air. Even Benjamin could sense the rising temperature enveloping the surroundings.Caught off-guard, the Fiery Fox was directly hit by the fla
