Translator: Silavin “The Lightning Seal…” Looking at the back of his hand, Qin Yichen’s smile became radiant. [If one Lightning Seal is already this difficult to endure, then the later Lightning Seals… ] When thinking about having to endure this kind of pain to cultivate the Lightning God Fist Barrage, Qin Yichen’s smile turned bitter. It was worth noting that with each additional layer of Lightning Seal, the pain does not simply add up. It was exponentially increased! This was why no one has ever cultivated the Lightning God Fist Barrage to the ninth level… the top level. Afterwards, Qin Yichen quickly ate two Pills to adjust his condition somewhat before cautiously emerging from the dense branches. “I heard there’s a Thousand Year Old spirit medicine in here, it’s time to replenish this broken Pill Furnace…” Qin Yichen vigilantly scanned his surroundings, and only after confirming there was no danger did he carefully leap down from the giant tree. After walking several kilometres, Qin Yichen did discover quite a few spirit medicines. However, these were not particularly rare outside. So, he did not bother collecting them. “This isn’t right, the World Energy here is so rich, how are there only these few measly spirit medicines left? Could it be that because this tower opens every year, everything’s been picked clean?” Qin Yichen grumbled, dissatisfied. This was actually quite normal. The Grand Empire had opened the Twilight Tower for who knows how many times, and the first floor had likely been thoroughly scavenged long ago. If anything remained, it would only be in extremely dangerous places. Roar! Just then, a deep roar suddenly came from the side in the distance. “There are Demonic Beasts in here? Any rare spirit medicine should have Demonic Beasts guarding it!” Hearing that roar, Qin Yichen was not deterred. Rather, his eyes lit up as he stealthily headed in that direction. As he got closer to that particular grove of trees, Qin Yichen suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Immediately, his footsteps abruptly halted, his brows furrowed. Without any hesitation, he quickly turned to flee. Thud! Just as Qin Yichen turned around, a huge beast flashed out from behind him, directly cutting off his escape route. Looking at this suddenly appearing huge Demonic Beast, Qin Yichen’s scalp tingled. The Demonic Beast that appeared before him had a bear’s body but an ape’s head. It was two meters tall, and its blood-red beast eyes were staring fixedly at him… who had intruded into its territory. Deep growls occasionally emerged from its mouth. “A Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm Ape Bear…” Qin Yichen narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, his pupils contracted. because he discovered a horrific wound on the Ape Bear’s abdomen. That wound had almost completely torn open its abdomen, with intestines spilling out. [Strange, this wound should have been caused by a blade or a sword. Could this Ape Bear have encountered those someone who entered with me?] Though this thought crossed Qin Yichen’s mind, he was not in a hurry to leave anymore. Under normal circumstances, he certainly would not want to provoke this Ape Bear, but now that it was clearly severely wounded, it was the perfect target for some practice. “You brought this on yourself!” Qin Yichen cursed under his breath. With a thought, his Spirit Sword floated out, pointing at the Ape Bear from afar. Roar! Qin Yichen’s action undoubtedly enraged the Ape Bear. Immediately, this Ape Bear heavily pounded its chest with both paws, then charged at Qin Yichen with bloodshot eyes. As the Ape Bear’s paw swept down, a gust of wind mixed with the sound of air being torn came at Qin Yichen. “I’ve reached Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm too. You think I’m afraid of you?” Faced with this fierce incoming attack, Qin Yichen showed no intention of dodging. He muttered softly, battle intent bursting forth from his eyes. With a roar from Qin Yichen, his raised arm pulled back and he violently struck out with a punch. This punch did not channel Yuan Energy or any Martial Arts Technique. It was pure Physique strength! Boom! This punch struck the incoming giant paw like a meteor. Bang! With a huge sound, Qin Yichen’s body was knocked back several steps by the Ape Bear – known for its strength. Still, the Ape Bear also suffered, its huge body had been forced to retreat. Roar! Being forced back by a weak Human undoubtedly made the Ape Bear even more enraged. It roared loudly and charged at Qin Yichen again with great strides. “Thick-skinned and tough. You are perfect to be my whetstone!” Qin Yichen chuckled, not retreating. Every time the Ape Bear’s giant paw came down, he met it head-on. Bang! Roar! Huge impacts and the Ape Bear’s roars continuously rang out, shaking this entire area. Very far from where Qin Yichen was fighting, in a hidden small cave, a figure completely wrapped in black robes was perfectly concealed within. “Which idiot?” The black-robed person glanced in that direction, muttered softly, then closed their eyes and hid again. In the Twilight Tower, noise was most taboo… because noise would bring about endless trouble… Therefore, anyone with common sense, after entering the Twilight Tower, would prioritize finding a hidden place to conceal themselves and pass through the three days, rather than searching for spirit medicines. The main reason most people were eliminated was making too much noise, and eventually got forced out of the Twilight Tower. Qin Yichen clearly was not someone with common sense. At this moment, he was fighting intensely with the Ape Bear. In his excited state, Qin Yichen mistakenly believed no other Demonic Beasts would intrude into the Ape Bear’s territory. He completely failed to notice more and more Demonic Beasts were beginning to appear from all directions, all with blood-red beast eyes, rapidly converging on the Ape Bear’s territory. Roar! The Ape Bear howled in anguish. The severe wound to its abdomen was rapidly draining its strength, and these repeated violent clashes were making things worse. Finally, Qin Yichen seemed to lose interest. With a thought, his Spirit Sword pierced through the Ape Bear’s horrific abdominal wound and emerged from its chest. Bang! Having received a fatal blow, the Ape Bear’s roars finally stopped. It stared with its blood-red beast eyes as its body unwillingly collapsed. Just as Qin Yichen was about to cut open the Ape Bear to check for any Beast Soul, he finally sensed the approaching danger. “Not good!” He could sense that among the several Demonic Beasts charging toward him, each one was definitely no weaker than Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm. However, by the time he realised this, it was clearly already too late. As his expression changed drastically, he actually had not noticed that the black-robed figure hiding in the shadows wore an expression no better than his own.
