BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124: 124 Realm King Tower
What the prize is, or what dangers are inside the Realm King Tower, not a word is mentioned.
Although Mo Shengqi is very curious with an urge to go inside and see for himself, he eventually resists the temptation.
His death would not matter, but he needs to bring the logistics personnel back alive. Since he is the only main combatant on this side, their survival ability would be far too poor if anything happened to him.
In the end, Mo Shengqi gave up the idea of entering the Realm King Tower and continued to hunt for nearby Base Variant Creatures with his team.
Mo Shengqi’s giving up doesn’t mean that everyone else will.
The Realm King Tower they encountered isn’t the only one. Other teams have come across Realm King Towers as well.
The Crystal Base Level Wang Zhiyue also found a Realm King Tower. Unlike Mo Shengqi’s decision, Wang Zhiyue decided to accept the challenge and entered the Realm King Tower.
Wang Zhiyue isn’t a rash person—his decision to enter was based on his own reasoning.
From his perspective, he believes that those who come to Realm King Planet through the Realm King Cultivation Device are all Mutators, and Ascenders probably cannot come in.
This can be seen from the other Human Base Variant Creatures and members of the Ultra-Burn Tribe he has encountered during this time.
Since he hasn’t met a single Ascender for so long, this allowed him to form such a judgment.
If the Realm King Cultivation Device can only teleport Mutators here, and considering there are no Ascended Creatures above the Realm King Planet, Wang Zhiyue could boldly speculate that everything on this planet is designed for Mutators, which of course includes the Realm King Tower in front of him.
If it’s designed for Mutators, what does Wang Zhiyue have to be afraid of? He has already reached the pinnacle of Mutators and possesses Crystal Base Level combat power. If he doesn’t take this challenge now, should he wait for others to challenge the Realm King Tower and take away the prize inside?
He also really wants to know—what prize would the person who turned an entire planet into a trial field leave behind?
With such resources, that person wouldn’t possibly offer trash as a reward, right?
The moment Wang Zhiyue pushed open the door, the number of people watching his broadcast increased rapidly.
To date, Humans have encountered a total of five Realm King Towers, but Wang Zhiyue is the first to choose to enter the Realm King Tower and accept the challenge.
As Wang Zhiyue steps into the Realm King Tower, everyone also scrutinizes the interior of the tower with him.
However, within the Realm King Tower, there is pitch darkness—they can’t see anything. Instead, the gate closes with a thunderous boom, plunging the inner tower into absolute darkness and silence.
“Welcome to the first floor of the Realm King Tower. The challenge is about to begin. If you feel you can’t continue during the challenge, simply press the button on the Realm King’s Transport Device to end the challenge… Initiating countdown… Ten seconds until the challenge begins… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Challenge begins…”
In the darkness, a cold electronic voice rings out, letting the viewers know that the live broadcast hasn’t gone dark; it’s just too dark to see anything.
Everyone stares at the dark spot on the sky, as if by staring long enough, they could make something out in the darkness.
Unfortunately, they are disappointed as the challenge begins and they still can only see pitch black.
“Ah…”
The spectators hear a scream at the very moment the challenge begins, their hearts jump to their throats, many of them cursing their lack of night vision and the inability to see what’s going on in the darkness.
“Challenge failed. The challenger has failed to pass the first floor, and the result will not be ranked. Please try harder next time.”
The electronic voice sounds again, leaving everyone agape.
“What’s going on? It ended just like that? What exactly happened?”
“What kind of challenge is it?”
“How did it end with just a scream?”
“Crystal Base Level Wang Zhiyue, from his previous performances, is definitely not a weakling. He could even be ranked within the top five among the Mutators who entered the Realm King Planet this time. Even he only lasted a moment before he failed. One can only imagine the difficulty of the Realm King Tower.”
There is a buzz of speculation. Soon, the broadcast showing Wang Zhiyue returns to normal, and he is seen standing in front of the large door of the Realm King Tower with a very strange expression on his face.
However, looking at him, he doesn’t seem to have any injuries. It’s unknown what happened that made Wang Zhiyue choose to give up.
Wang Zhiyue seems to want to challenge again, but when he tries to push the tower’s great door again, it won’t budge.
Everyone is curious about what kind of challenge Wang Zhiyue experienced, but unfortunately, no one can see it.
Lin Shen continues to practice Stepping on the Immortal Court and hunt mutated creatures. When the time limit arrives, he hasn’t mastered Stepping on the Immortal Court, but his Base Mutation rate has surged to 51.
“Almost there. Next time, I’ll go further afield. With my current strength, I shouldn’t have to worry about encountering Crystal-based Creatures anymore.” Lin Shen wants to kill some high-level mutations because slaying these low-level ones is just too slow for increasing his Base Mutation rate.
The teleporter sends Lin Shen back, and he stays in the canyon, hoping to encounter Wei Wufu.
He, too, saw the sky projection and found it very novel. After watching for a while, he memorized several people.
He can’t help but marvel at how many talents big families have.
Perhaps talents are the same, but different environments can produce different individuals.
“Mo Shengqi, Ouyang Yudu, Wang Zhiyue, Tu Xiaodao… These people are all quite impressive. If I have the chance, I would like to get to know them—a friend in court is better than a penny in purse,” Lin Shen thinks to himself.
As he ponders, he sees a figure appear at the foot of Gourd Mountain—it turns out to be the mosaic-clad Goddess Consort.
“Strange, I didn’t see her coming down from the cave on the mountain top; she just appeared at the foot of the mountain…” Lin Shen is puzzled.
Soon enough, more people appear at the foot of Gourd Mountain, and there are quite a few of them. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be Wang Tian’er, Qi Shuheng, and their party.
It looks like they’ve had quite a good haul. The materials and Base Mutation Fluid are loaded on their mounts.
Lin Shen hides and watches as the people from the Qi and Wang families escort Bai Shenfei away.
“Strange! Bai Shenfei has already left with the Dark Bird, and there are no more Dark Birds here, so why can I still see Gourd Mountain?” Lin Shen gazes at the towering Gourd Mountain, full of doubt.
He had his suspicions when he was inside the cave of Gourd Mountain, and now it’s even clearer. The reason he can see Gourd Mountain isn’t because of the Qi and Wang families’ Dark Birds.
“Could it be… that this little one is the Dark Bird?” Lin Shen looks at Fei Zai in his backpack; apart from this one, he can’t think of a second reason.
