This level is alright, the strength of an ordinary half-step super strong person is still quite formidable for an ordinary half-step super strong person, not to mention that there are more than a dozen of them. It is estimated that even a strong half-step super strong person would not be able to withstand them. Only the top half-step super strong people can handle them.
However, Lin Yun was not an ordinary half-step super strongman, much less a top-tier half-step super strongman. Lin Yun's strength in wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword was almost comparable to that of a super strongman at the third level of the Super Realm. This strength far surpassed that of many monstrous half-step super strongmen.
He could still kill many of these powerful cloud-man and cloud-beast with a single sword strike.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Thus, Lin Yun strode forward, occasionally a strong gust of wind blowing, and he killed one cloud-man and cloud-beast after another.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sounds of cloud-man and cloud-beast exploding into clouds of mist rang out continuously.
Soon, Lin Yun's vision cleared up again. He finished conquering the third level of the Heavenly Dao Tower, and the space of the fourth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower appeared.
This layer of space is no longer a sea of clouds, but rather a forest-like space, except that the trees are incredibly tall and stretch as far as the eye can see.
"What kind of test is this? Could it be that there are some kind of people or beasts in this forest..." Lin Yun muttered to himself.
Whew! Whew!
Lin Yun hurried forward while remaining vigilant about his surroundings.
The Cloud Mist People and Cloud Mist Beasts he encountered on the third level were already at a level that was not weak among the half-step Super Realm experts, according to the previous pattern of increasing strength.
If there are any wooden figures or beasts on this floor, their strength is probably at least at this level.
He couldn't ignore the emergence of more than a dozen beings. Furthermore, there were beings like the giant wind and clouds. He wondered if there were similar ones in the forest. If so, he would have to deal with them carefully.
After all, this is only the fourth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower; there are still over a hundred floors to go.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Lin Yun spent about one or two hours wandering around.
"What's going on? I haven't encountered any danger for so long?" Lin Yun wondered to himself.
"No... here..." Soon, Lin Yun stopped and stared intently at a spot in front of him.
That spot ahead was a place he'd been before, but he'd clearly been walking straight ahead in one direction the whole time...
He had sensed something was wrong earlier, so he deliberately left a mark.
Now, isn't that mark right there?
"A maze! The fourth level... is the test actually a maze?"
Lin Yun remained silent.
In terms of strength, he wasn't afraid of many dangers, but a maze... he really didn't know how to break it... He had learned some array formations through the cosmic trading system, but compared to his level of strength, those array formations were utterly insignificant...
Another hour passed, and Lin Yun circled around twice more. At this moment, Lin Yun was certain that he hadn't circled twice before, but three or four times. He had actually gotten lost here.
If it weren't for the mark he left, he wouldn't even know how many times he had spun around.
"This can't go on. How can we break the formation?" Lin Yun stopped and frowned.
"It seems we have no choice but to use that clumsy method..." In the end, Lin Yun shook his head and sighed slightly.
He had circled around several times but still couldn't figure out how to break the formation. It seemed that his knowledge of formations was indeed insufficient to deal with the current formation.
"Boom! Boom!"
Thinking this, Lin Yun stretched out his hand, and the Bloodthirsty Sword reappeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, a long bloodstain swept across the forest in front of him, and immediately, a group of tall trees were cut down and sent flying.
"Walk!"
Lin Yun whispered, and he rushed forward, using the Bloodthirsty Sword to quickly cut down the tall trees he passed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the trees he had cut down were rapidly growing back.
This made him even more anxious, and he quickened his pace of cutting down trees.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was strong enough. Even if it were a powerful half-step super strongman, their speed of cutting down trees might not be able to keep up with their recovery speed.
"Impossible, impossible. The fourth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower is this difficult. Although Senior Mo didn't tell me about the experiences of others who tried to enter the Heavenly Dao Tower, he did say that ordinary cultivators, given enough time, could easily pass through several levels. Some highly talented cultivators could even pass through the 20th, 30th, 40th, or 50th levels. If their difficulty in entering the tower is like mine, not to mention anything else, even those below the level of half-step super strong would find it difficult to pass through three levels..." Lin Yun shook his head and said.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower must have estimated my strength before setting such a high difficulty level!" Lin Yun took a deep breath. This Heavenly Dao Tower really does discriminate based on the person. In this way, it seems that he won't be able to reach a high level by strength alone.
"Buzz—"
Finally, a sound of space trembling rang out, and a new spatial entrance appeared before him.
"Have you cleared the fourth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower?" Lin Yun's eyes lit up.
This clumsy method actually worked; he was afraid it wouldn't.
"But I wonder how I performed on this level? It took me so long, and I used such a stupid method to get through this space. I'm afraid my results won't be very good..." Lin Yun said with a self-deprecating smile.
However, this matter is none of his business.
It depends on how the Heavenly Path Tower judges it.
Thinking about this, Lin Yun was also a little curious. It is said that everyone’s experience of breaking through the Heavenly Dao Tower is different, and the criteria for judging everyone’s performance in breaking through the Heavenly Dao Tower are also different. I wonder how this Heavenly Dao Tower works?
“There should also be an extremely powerful spiritual being inside this Heavenly Dao Tower, but it’s unclear what level of intelligence this spiritual being possesses…” Lin Yun thought to himself.
He knew that some magical artifacts possessed extremely high spiritual power, while others, though spiritual, lacked intelligence...
He knew a little about this.
In fact, many powerful individuals are conflicted about the spirituality of magical artifacts. They want these artifacts to have high intelligence so they can help them in critical moments, but they also don't want them to have too much intelligence, otherwise they might easily break away from their masters and become independent entities.
In this universe, there are many powerful beings who are themselves magical treasures. It's not surprising, since mountains, rocks, grass and trees can all become spirits and cultivate into powerful beings. How much more so some powerful magical treasures?
Just like the Eastern Emperor that Lin Yun faced some time ago, although he was human in life, after death he refined the powerful magic weapon Eastern Emperor Bell as his natal magic weapon. Even though he was a spirit within the Eastern Emperor Bell, he was already independent and was a well-known strongman in the universe.
The more powerful a magical artifact is, the less its owner is willing to allow it to possess too much wisdom.
Therefore, some powerful individuals have developed a method to erase the wisdom of the magical artifact's spirit, leaving only its spirituality.
It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite easy to understand. It's about allowing the magical artifact to retain its obedient instincts and power. In this way, the spirit of the magical artifact, free from distractions, becomes even more adept at using it, and its power is greatly increased.
Therefore, this method is very popular.
Magical artifacts can be categorized into innate and acquired ones. Innate magical artifacts often possess their own inherent spirituality, while acquired magical artifacts are typically imbued with spirituality by the craftsman, as seen with Xiaobai and Xiaolan entering the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Xiaobai and Xiaolan are extremely intelligent. If they follow those people's methods, their intelligence will be worn away.
It's just unclear what kind of spiritual energy exists within this Heavenly Dao Tower.
Lin Yun was very curious.
