Lin Fan sat down once again to cultivate and it took him another half an hour just like the previous floor, but unexpectedly, he didn't break through like he had expected.
While he didn't know why, Lin Fan could tell that the golden dragon inside his dantian didn't seem complete yet. Maybe that was why he didn't break through.
So without thinking too much, Lin Fan headed up to the next floor.
The moment they entered the eighth floor, another uproar was created outside.
They were still going?!
What kind of monsters were they?
When Lin Fan and Angela reached the eighth floor, Angela narrowed her eyes for a bit before saying, "The next floor should be the top floor."
Lin Fan looked at the staircase and looked around the room, but he didn't seem to see anything different, so he asked in a confused voice, "How do you know?"
Angela just said, "Because I know."
Lin Fan really didn't know what to say to refute this neither did he want to refute it…
So Lin Fan went into cultivation mode once again and half an hour later, he finished.
Now they were heading to the final floor.
When they came up the staircase, this room was very different from the other rooms.
This room was quite small unlike the previous large rooms, only being a few dozen meters wide instead of over a hundred meters wide. Moreover, there was a large crystal that was floating in the center of the room.
Lin Fan was confused by this crystal, but Angela knit her brows when she saw this.
Lin Fan asked Angela, "Do you know what that is?"
Angela was silent for a bit before saying, "That should be a Soul Crystal, but what is a Soul Crystal doing in this lower realm?"
Lin Fan was more confused, "Soul Crystal?"
Angela explained, "A Soul Crystal is crystal that can be used to store the souls of the deceased, it is considered a final safety net since the soul can be replanted into a new crafted body or the soul can choose to possess someone else. But Soul Crystals are very rare, even in upper realms they aren't commonly found. For one to be here…"
After pausing, Angela continued, "It seems like the Dragon Might is coming from it, so it must contain a dragon soul, but this shouldn't be right. Why would there be the soul of a Dragon Clan expert here on this lower human realm?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything and tried to move forward to take a look, but the moment he took a step forward, the pressure came over him.
This was different from the other floors, the pressure was over ten times stronger instead of just five, making it hard for him to even move.
Lin Fan quickly activated his cultivation technique and his suction force, drawing in as much of the Dragon Might as he could.
Angela saw that he was struggling, but she didn't do anything to help him since she knew that it would be good for him if she just left him.
Lin Fan desperately tried to absorb the Dragon Might, but this was pure concentrated Dragon Might, which made it very hard to absorb.
As he continued, he found that the realm inside his dantian continued to expand with the vortex in there and soon the suction force became even stronger, allowing him to draw in this Dragon Might. As he continued trying to suck it in, the bigger the vortex became.
Eventually, it reached a point where it could suck in the Dragon Might and finally stopped expanding.
This time, it took longer for Lin Fan to finish cultivating. It took a total of an hour, but once he was finished, the golden dragon inside his dantian was also finished.
It soon crystalized into a complete golden dragon statue, which then collapsed and turned into a mass of pure golden energy.
That mass of golden energy released waves of the power of law and it pushed the boundary of Lin Fan's cultivation until he was forced into the Platinum Realm.
When Lin Fan exploded with white life energy, there was a cloud that began to gather above his head and soon it became a black thunder cloud. Once it was fully formed, it released a bolt of thunder, but that was also quickly absorbed by Lin Fan, creating a thunderbolt statue in his dantian.
But that thunderbolt statue also quickly collapsed and turned into a mass of white energy.
"Ho, so this kid is strong enough to trigger the thunder tribulation while still in the Platinum Realm. You really are something special."
There was a deep booming voice that soon filled the room, appearing out of nowhere.
Lin Fan looked around while looking confused, but Angela's eyes locked onto the Soul Crystal. She casually moved in front of Lin Fan and was prepared to fight.
"Relax little girl, I'm not gonna steal his body." With this, there was a see through dragon that appeared from the Soul Crystal, "Besides, I made a promise with Xiao Jun that I would only watch over the trial, I wouldn't touch any of the participants."
Lin Fan looked at the transparent dragon in surprise while Angela didn't let her guard down.
The transparent dragon continued saying, "Still, it really is surprising to see this generation's Spirit Overlord here. Are you really that bored that you're hanging out on this lower human world?"
Angela said with a snort, "I don't want to hear that from a shattered soul."
The transparent dragon gave a sigh, "I might be a shattered soul, but I'm still one of the elders of the Dragon Clan…"
Lin Fan asked Angela, "Angela, what is that thing?"
When Angela was about to speak, the transparent dragon spoke first, "Hey kid, it's rude to talk about someone like that in front of their face, you know? You can just ask me."
Lin Fan revealed an awkward look before asking, "Elder, may I ask who you are?"
The transparent dragon gave a chuckle, "You really do know how to change faces quickly, but that's fine. This one is the fifth elder of the Dragon Race and the chief of the Red Dragons, Hong Long."
Lin Fan then asked, "Then, Elder Hong Long, why are you here?"
Hong Long gave a sigh, "It's a long story. I once faced invaders of the Dragon Clan, but they were too strong for our clan to defeat, so I was the one who sacrificed myself to activate our final defensive array, which was strong enough to defeat them. Unfortunately, that also killed me, but I had this Soul Crystal which I stored my shattered soul into. But then my Soul Crystal fell into the Void Winds and was blown to this lower realm's Void Battlefield. That was where I met Xiao Jun. At first I was tempted to possess him, but we quickly bonded and became friends, as well I became his mentor. However, I never expected Xiao Jun to be ambushed by those bug bastards, so now I've been put with his inheritance, waiting for someone else to help me rebuild my body."
This story really was too much for Lin Fan. What kind of invaders were they that forced an elder of the Dragon Clan to sacrifice themself?
Angela knit her brows and was silent for a bit before saying, "Was it those Outsiders?"
Hong Long gave a sigh, "They really have been rampant over the years, but it suddenly became worse. I don't know what gave them the courage to suddenly attack us like that, but they were much stronger than before."
Angela fell silent once again.
Lin Fan had a confused look on his face. He looked to Angela and asked, "Outsiders? What are those?"
But Angela didn't say a single thing.
Then Lin Fan turned to Hong Long.
Hong Long shook his head, "Kid, this isn't something you need to worry about now, you're not even close to being at that level yet. This is something that involves the top forces of the universe, you're nothing more than an ant compared to them now."
Lin Fan knew that he was nothing right now, but he believed that with his cheat system, he would one day reach that peak.
But he also knew that they were right, there was no need for him to worry about this now. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Lin Fan just gave a shrug before coming over to the Soul Crystal and asking, "Elder, how are you planning on restoring your body?"
Hong Long said, "There are many ways to build a body, but building a good body is hard. I need to find special materials for that. Once I do, I'll need at least an Earth Grade Alchemist to help me refine that body and I definitely won't find one on this lowly planet."
Lin Fan's mind quickly turned before he said, "Then, do you want to come with us?"
