The highest record for clearing the tower stopped at just the 105th floor!
And the record time for reaching the first place on the 105th floor was a staggering 639 hours!
If we count a day as 24 hours, 639 hours equals more than 15 days… Spending half a month just to pass one level!
"That shouldn't be possible… The entire Illusory Tower has 108 floors. Even if it's tough, shouldn't someone have at least reached the 107th floor?"
"Did they really stop at the 105th floor?"
Su Xiaobai was puzzled.
The Otherworld undoubtedly had a much longer history than Earth… and the Virtual Network had also existed for an incredibly long time!
After all, the Virtual Network connected the entire Otherworld, where the number of living beings was beyond imagination!
Su Xiaobai had every reason to believe that among them, there were definitely countless prodigies far stronger than himself—monstrous geniuses, true freaks…
Especially the Martial Kings, Martial Emperors, and even stronger beings—they were destined to be extraordinary from birth!
And yet, despite this, in all of the Otherworld's long history, not a single person had fully cleared all 108 floors of the Illusory Tower!
No one has even reached the 106th floor… This is truly unbelievable!
Initially, Su Xiaobai thought that since he could enter the Illusory Tower as soon as he arrived, this place was probably just some beginner training ground and wouldn't be too difficult…
But to his surprise, the difficulty of the Illusory Tower was far beyond expectations—there were still three entire floors that had never been conquered!
"Kid, you're new here, aren't you?"
A being from the Otherworld, with a triangular head and silver skin, overheard Su Xiaobai's words and sneered. He glanced at Su Xiaobai up and down.
"Reaching the 105th floor is already terrifying! Do you even know what that level represents?"
"Oh? What does it represent?" Su Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Lucky you, I just passed the 43rd floor and I'm in a good mood, so I'll explain it to you—otherwise, you'd be walking around clueless!"
The triangular-headed Otherworlder smirked and spoke leisurely:
"You should know the rules. After surpassing the Transcendent level, you can't challenge the Tower anymore. That means the highest level one can reach is the Sub-Transcendent level!"
"For most Sub-Transcendents, their limit is the 40th floor. After the 41st floor, the difficulty spikes significantly—you have to be an exceptional Sub-Transcendent to continue!"
"If you reach the 50th floor, congratulations! You're already among the top-tier experts at the Sub-Transcendent level!"
"To clear the 60th floor, your power must be at the Transcendent level!"
Su Xiaobai's mind stirred.
In the outside world, he did have the strength to fight across realms.
But in the Virtual Network, all martial arts techniques were disabled, meaning he had lost his advantage.
"To reach the 70th floor, you need to be an Elite Transcendent!"
"To reach the 80th floor, you must be at the Peak Transcendent level!"
"To reach the 90th floor, you need to be at the Sub-King level!"
"To reach the 100th floor, you must be at the One-Origin Martial King level!"
Su Xiaobai's pupils shrank sharply upon hearing this.
A Sub-Transcendent, which was just a step above the Demi-God Martial Commander level, had to reach the power of a Sub-King to clear the 90th floor—that was already terrifying!
But after the 100th floor, the power requirement skyrocketed to Martial King level!
This also made him memorize the Martial King ranking system—so the first level of Martial Kings was called the One-Origin Martial King!
"Kid, what do you think? Shocked yet? Feeling small after hearing that Sub-Transcendents can possess Martial King-level power?"
"But don't be too discouraged—those who can achieve this level are basically the prodigies and holy sons of the myriad races. They're born with Celestial Bodies, Holy Bodies, and even Imperial Bodies… Plus, they have an insane amount of resources poured into them, so it's no surprise they can reach such heights!"
Prodigies of the myriad races…
Celestial Bodies, Holy Bodies, Imperial Bodies…
Su Xiaobai silently took note of these new terms.
"Then what happens after the 100th floor?"
"If those prodigies can reach a level beyond the One-Origin Martial King, clearing all 108 floors shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Hah! If only it were that simple!"
The triangular-headed Otherworlder rolled his eyes.
"After the 100th floor, each level becomes insanely difficult! A One-Origin Martial King can barely handle the 102nd floor. To clear the 103rd floor, you need to be at Two-Origin Martial King level!"
"For the 105th floor, you must be a Three-Origin Martial King!"
"The 106th floor is even harder—you might need to be a Four-Origin Martial King to have a chance at clearing it!"
"As for the 107th floor… No one knows how difficult it is, because no one has ever seen it!"
"But based on estimates, the 107th floor probably requires a Five-Origin Martial King level… and as for the 108th floor—that's at the Sub-Emperor level!"
"Heh, kid, now you finally understand why the highest record is only 105 floors, right?"
"A Sub-Transcendent reaching the Three-Origin Martial King level… Just think about how terrifying that is!"
The words of the triangular-headed Otherworlder left Su Xiaobai utterly shaken! Googlᴇ search Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
As expected, he had underestimated the Otherworld.
A Sub-Transcendent, which was merely at the Sub-Divine Martial Commander level, could actually achieve power on par with a Three-Origin Martial King…
That meant crossing two entire major realms!
On Earth, Su Xiaobai was already among the strongest humans, capable of fighting an entire major realm above his level.
But compared to the prodigies of the Otherworld, he was nothing!
"Even with cheats, I can't keep up with them… That's insane!"
Su Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh.
The power ceiling of the Otherworld was just too overwhelming!
No wonder humanity was so worried—if the gateway between worlds expanded, these prodigies from the Otherworld could wipe out humanity and conquer Earth in no time!
"But the stronger the challenge, the more interesting it is…"
"This Illusory Tower just keeps getting more exciting!"
"Before I become a true Martial God, can I reach the level of those prodigies? Or maybe, just maybe… I'll be the first to see the 107th floor?"
Su Xiaobai's blood boiled with excitement.
The harder the goal, the more he wanted to reach it!
The prodigies of the Otherworld had all been stuck at the 105th floor, unable to break through the 106th…
What kind of horror awaited beyond it?
If possible, he wanted to find out for himself—
To surpass those so-called prodigies, and stand at the very peak!
"Ding! 'Five Peaks Golden Bell Body' has reached the highest level!"
"Ding! 'Seven Slaughter Breaking Army' has reached the highest level!"
"Ding! 'One Thought Furious Flame' has reached the highest level!"
At that moment, the system notification rang.
Su Xiaobai was stunned for a moment—his face filled with shock.
