Chapter 1192: Breaking out of the Cocoon!
With the passage of time, more experts were arriving at the 2nd Level, flying towards the 365 sacred pillars, forming into golden cocoons as they began their own evolution.
All of a sudden, the entrance shuddered, as numerous human experts poured out, and there was not a battleship in sight.
At almost the same time, numerous Devils and Man-Eaters, as well as the experts of the other worlds, also soared out from the entrance.
Although the Red Jade Mantises were savage, in front of those human battleships, as well as the countless half-step True God experts, they were all wiped out.
When the different races and species flew out, they immediately separated, forming their own groups.
Heavenly Lord Lei Huang stood in mid-air, brooding, "Damn, the battleships could not pass. If I had known, I would not have brought them into the Tower of Babel."
Those powerful D-Grade battleships that were able to kill Type 9 powerhouses instantly could not be brought through the 2nd level, thus, they were left in the 1st level, causing the powers of the human faction to feel heartache.
After all, a single D-Grade battleship possessed more strength than a few Type 9 experts, and having to abandon so many at one go, it was not possible to replenish the fleet even in a hundred years for the Holy Heavens.
Heavenly Lord Yan Tian spoke indifferently, "So what? If we can rise to the True God realm, everything will be fine. If we have no way of breaking through, and could only perish here, then those D-Grade battleships will also be destroyed here. There's no point getting too attached."
If they could reach the True God realm, then the Great God World would be under the rule of humans, and they could easily produce many D-Grade battleships.
Bu Lie pointed to the front, his voice sinking, "Look!"
The few Heavenly Lords turned to look and saw the numerous sacred pillars emitting radiance.
"This should be the largest treasure of the 2nd level!!"
Lei Huang and the rest gazed at the pillars, their eyes lit with greed. With a flash, they hurried towards the pillars.
Unfortunately, when they came in front of the 365 pillars, they discovered that every single pillar had already been taken, with numerous large gold cocoons stuck on them.
"Damn it!! It's full!!!" Lei Huang was enraged and he roared, stretching out to grab at one of the gold cocoons, "Scram!!"
Lei Huang wanted to grab the person within the cocoon and enter it to receive the benefits.
Bu Lie and the rest watched silently. If he was successful, they would do the same.
These 4 Heavenly Lords had been trapped at the half-step True God realm for eons, and their biggest wish was to take that step and become a True God, breaking out of the cage and be free.
Lei Huang's energy claw grabbed onto the cocoon, but it did not move. Instead, a golden sacred beam shot out at Lei Huang.
When Lei Huang was shot, he let out a piercing scream, a huge hole in his chest, as large amounts of gold blood flowed down. He fell out of the sky.
Yan Tian was shocked, and he hurried over, "Lei Huang, how're you?!"
Lei Huang, whose mouth had blood and his face pale, gritted and said, "I've suffered some law-filled attack. If I don't consume some of the precious fruits, it would take me a month to recover. These 365 pillars are definitely something from a True God! Damn it! We were too slow and missed the opportunity!!"
Bu Lie and the rest also looked at the pillars with a look of remorse. Had they entered and received the benefits of the pillars, it was likely that they could have made the step to become True Gods.
Although they had dealt with the Bull-head Dragon Devil and obtained a Gold-Grade Axe, killing over thousands of Type 9 Mutant Beasts, and obtained so many nuclei, compared to the chance of becoming a True God, those items were like trash.
Yan Tian studied the surroundings, and spoke slowly, "I think, that those who progressed through the trials and tests of the Tower the fastest, would obtain the most benefits. Those who go through slowly would gain lesser."
The rest pondered over the words and nodded in agreement.
Currently, the entire 2nd level was barren, as all the precious fruits had already been swept up by Yue Zhong and those who had arrived early.
However, there were still a few precious herbs hidden in the ground. The moment they surfaced, the scuffle over them broke out again.
Those who had joined hands to get through the entrance for the 2nd level suddenly separated and became competitors once more, going all out in their slaughter.
Within these people, there were a few who had obtained many benefits at the first level. They had managed to avoid most of the conflict, and consumed their harvest and focused on absorbing the energy in the 2nd level, to break the Type 9 bottleneck.
The 2nd level of the Tower of Babel had more than 100 times the energy of the 1st level, and cultivating one day in the 2nd level was as effective as cultivating a few years outside. Furthermore, it was the best environment to attempt breakthroughs.
On the third day of Yue Zhong's entrance into the 2nd level, all 365 cocoons split open, and the tyrannical Type 9 auras spilled out from all of them, shocking all the experts within the 2nd level.
Lei Huang and the rest opened their eyes, scanning with their perception and immediately discovered Yue Zhong.
"High-Type 9 realm!! How the hell?! How could he evolve so fast?! The Tower of Babel is truly too miraculous!! He actually evolved so fast!! If only I had received the inheritance of the sacred pillars!!!"
When Lei Huang and the rest scanned Yue Zhong's cultivation stage, their faces changed, and their eyes were filled with envy. When they had just met Yue Zhong, he was only an initial-Type 9 powerhouse. However, he had already reached the high-Type 9 realms since then. This speed was simply heaven-defying and far exceeded their expectations.
Each evolution further down the line was increasingly difficult.
Countless experts were stuck at the initial-Type 9 realm. Lei Huang himself had been a heaven-defying genius who triggered the Tiger-Dragon image, and it took him 50 years from the initial-Type 9 to the mid-Type 9 realm. He had taken 300 years since then to reach the high-Type 9 realm. Such a speed was already considered fast in the Great God World, but compared to Yue Zhong, it was practically like a snail. They felt unfair.
At the moment when Yue Zhong broke out of his cocoon, a peak-Type 9 Formless Blade Devil appeared noiselessly behind him, his eyes flashing with a cruel light, as he intended to slash out at Yue Zhong's heart.
The Formless Blade Devil race was one of the rarest amongst the Devils, and they could hide their aura easily. If a peak-Type 9 Formless Blade Devil were to activate his innate stealth, even a half-step True God might not be able to detect them without being on guard.
They were the most powerful assassins among the Devils, and this particular Formless Blade Devil had even assassinated a half-step True God expert before.
"Trying to assassinate me?! Courting death!" Yue Zhong snorted and turned around, throwing a punch right at the devil.
After reaching the high-Type 9 realm, Yue Zhong had reached a high level of attenuation with his body, allowing him to exhibit even more terrifying strength.
Under that fist, the claws of the Formless Blade Devil were crushed, and his body also began to split apart due to Yue Zhong's force.
"Holy shit! That fellow is strong!!"
"How the hell? Isn't he just a high-Type 9 human expert? How is he so strong?!"
"This fellow! Seems like he's not someone to offend!"
"..."
Seeing Yue Zhong taking out the peak-Type 9 Formless Blade Devil in a single fist, a number of experts looked on with trepidation.
The half-step expert Jeffery stared at Yue Zhong, before he turned to the half-step True God-expert of the Man-Eater race, who was covered in red scales, his face savage and muscles taut, wielding a huge, golden bone, "Charoman! That human has to die!! Otherwise, with his evolution speed, both our races would be wiped out by him!! Let's join forces and kill all the humans!!"
Charoman swept Yue Zhong a gaze, his eyes also filled with a savage glint. He passed the message through his divine sense, and quickly responded, "Fine!"
