On the leaderboard of the 106th floor of the Illusory Tower, a dazzling name suddenly appeared—Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon!

Clearances: 1.

Clear Time: 1.346 seconds.

"He… he really just swept through the 106th floor!"

Dong He Duan was so shocked he didn't even know what to say anymore.

The previous Illusory Tower record was at the 105th floor.

The 106th floor had never been reached before in all of history…

It was like if a game's level cap was 18, but suddenly someone leapt to 19—how could it not be utterly shocking?

And more than that—the speed of clearing the floor… was astonishing!

Just a moment ago, Dong He Duan was saying it was impossible, and before he could even finish speaking, Su Xiaobai had already swept through the 106th floor…

The reversal happened so fast it left people speechless!

Dong He Duan's reaction was just a small glimpse of the larger scene—

Around the Illusory Tower, the entire crowd of spectators had completely exploded!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry… look! Oh my god… the 106th floor! Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon cleared the 106th floor, a brand new, one-and-only record has been born!!"

"Hiss~~~ Clearing the 106th floor requires strength capable of killing a Fourth-tier Martial King! Didn't Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon just clear the 104th floor yesterday?! How did his strength increase so fast?!"

"Who said Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon couldn't get past the 105th floor?! Now he's already stormed through the 106th! The first person in history!!"

"Only one second or so to clear it… what kind of monster is this guy?! It's only been a few days since he started challenging the Illusory Tower… and he's already broken records and reached the 106th floor—this is terrifying… utterly terrifying!"

"I dare say, as long as Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon isn't killed, his lowest future achievement will be Martial Immortal. And if he goes even further, reaching Martial Emperor isn't impossible!"

"Don't joke around, Martial Emperor? Do you know what kind of existence that is? Even with monstrous talent, that's a realm that might not be attainable!"

"Hurry! Report this up immediately, the 106th floor—this is the only 106th floor record!!"

"…."

The moment the record was set, the crowd surrounding the Illusory Tower was boiling over.

The commotion grew even bigger, drawing the attention of every living being in the entire Newborn City…

When they saw the leaderboard for the 106th floor, displaying only one line, with the gigantic name Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon—

They couldn't help but widen their eyes and let out exclamations in the languages of all races!

Previously, every record Su Xiaobai set, though impressive, still had predecessors who had passed through, so the crowd's astonishment was mainly about his excellence compared to others.

But now—

The 106th floor.

This was a level no one across the entire Virtual Network had ever reached!

It symbolized the requirement to have the strength, at the sub-Transcendent level, to slay a Fourth-tier Martial King!

Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon was the first.

The only one.

And very likely… the last!

Almost without any suspense, as soon as this record was created, above the skies of the Newborn City, in less than a few breaths' time, over a hundred Martial Emperor-level existences tore through the void and descended!

And the number was still growing!

This time, it wasn't just the Five Great Alliances and the various Immortal Clans and Sacred Clans vying for him…

Now, every race listed on the Myriad Races Ranking had developed the desire to fight for Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon!

…

Inside the Illusory Tower, on the 106th floor.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaobai—who had instantly become the focal point of the entire Virtual Network and even the vast Haohan Domain—was inside the Virtual Network, selecting the two King-tier techniques he would receive as rewards.

"These two!"

Su Xiaobai made his choice.

Two authentic King-tier techniques materialized in his hands out of thin air.

One was of the thunder attribute, granting immense destructive power through lightning: [Purple Lightning Battle God Scroll].

The other was of the blood qi attribute, dramatically enhancing the power of burning blood: [Overwhelming Blood Fiend Codex]!

He had already experienced the augmentation of the thunder attribute.

When metal and thunder attributes merged, the explosion of power was at least double that of a single attribute alone!

As for the blood qi attribute, there was even less need to explain—

Previously, even just an extraordinary-grade blood qi technique had brought Su Xiaobai immense benefits.

Now, upgraded to King-tier, the results would be unimaginable!

For ordinary people, blood qi techniques were a trump card to be used only when risking everything—

But for Su Xiaobai, with his [Scroll of Eternal Vitality] of the life attribute, even if blood qi burst consumed massive energy, the impact on him was negligible!

"I still have 520,000 cultivation points left in my hand—enough to buy another 5 King-tier techniques!"

Su Xiaobai grinned.

But 5 King-tier techniques were not his end goal.

His target was these 5, plus the 2 he had just received, combined with the 5 he already owned…

Altogether, 12 King-tier techniques!

"12 King-tier techniques… According to the four-into-one rule for one-click synthesis, I can fuse them into 3 Emperor-tier techniques at once!"

Su Xiaobai's eyes burned with intensity.

Three Emperor-tier techniques!

Once he cultivated them successfully, his future strength would reach unimaginable heights!

He didn't even dare ask for the First-tier Martial Emperor level anymore.

But reaching the Sub-Emperor level?

That was absolutely within reach!

"5 more King-tier techniques… that's it!"

"Exchange successful!"

As the Virtual Network system sound echoed, five more authentic King-tier techniques appeared in Su Xiaobai's hands.

—A body refining technique specializing in agility, enhancing movement skills: [Spirit Horn Windchase Sutra].

—A body refining technique enhancing defensive capabilities, a life-saving technique: [Azure Turtle Shell Manual].

—A body refining technique that purges and reforges the body, enhancing blood qi: [Universal Marrow Cleansing Method].

—A body refining technique massively boosting explosive strength: [Great Sun War God Technique].

—A body refining and internal refining technique expanding spiritual energy absorption and conversion: [Grand Revolving Mandala Technique].

All five were purely body refining techniques.

Any one of them, if obtained by an ordinary Martial King, would be regarded as an unparalleled treasure…

If cultivated to their peak, they could dominate an entire region!

But for Su Xiaobai, King-tier techniques were beginning to show diminishing returns.

Only Emperor-tier techniques could bring him another massive leap!

Moments later—

…

"Ding! Spirit Horn Windchase Sutra] has reached its Highest Level!"

"Ding! [Azure Turtle Shell Manual] has reached its Highest Level!"

"Ding! [Universal Marrow Cleansing Method] has reached its Highest Level!"

"Ding! [Great Sun War God Technique] has reached its Highest Level!"

"Ding! [Grand Revolving Mandala Technique] has reached its Highest Level!"

"…."

Boom!

As the system notifications rang out, Su Xiaobai could no longer hear anything.

He was fully immersed in the immense surge of knowledge and information that came with mastering so many King-tier techniques…

Utterly intoxicated!

Behind him, enormous figures, each tens of thousands of meters tall, manifested—

Each one radiating a world-shattering, apocalyptic aura!

When Su Xiaobai opened his eyes again, the blinding brilliance around him resembled a miniature sun—

So bright it could be seen clearly from tens of thousands of miles away!

"Such power… what an overwhelming force!"

Su Xiaobai couldn't help but strike a palm downward.

Boom!!

Centered on him, an area within a million miles radius was directly blasted into a doomsday-like landscape—

The entire land collapsed, forming an abyss tens of thousands of meters deep, with no visible bottom!

"With my current power, if I go all out, I now possess the capability to destroy Earth!"

In other words—

Su Xiaobai now wielded the power and means to annihilate entire planets!

But this was still not enough.

"System, synthesize three Emperor-tier techniques for me!"

Su Xiaobai ordered.

Immediately, all 12 King-tier techniques on him were scanned and fused by the system!

Watching the multi-colored progress bar rapidly loading, Su Xiaobai's gaze burned with anticipation.

This was genuine, solid Emperor-tier martial arts!

And not just one, but three!

Moments later—

"Ding! Synthesis complete! You have obtained the Emperor-tier technique [Traceless Soul-Reaping Phantom Codex]!"

"Ding! Synthesis complete! You have obtained the Emperor-tier technique [Eight Desolations Flame Dragon Spirit Manual]!"

"Ding! Synthesis complete! You have obtained the Emperor-tier technique [Golden Silkworm Illusory Scripture]!"
