Ordinary peak Level 12 cultivators, as opposed to ordinary peak extreme Level 12 cultivators, are separated only by two characters, yet the gap in their strength is immense.

Because, the peak of Level 12 is not an ordinary realm; it has tremendous potential for expansion. Some powerful peak Level 12 cultivators can even rival half-step Super Warriors, even contending with Super Warriors in a fight.

Just like during the previous Heavenly Principle Fruit competition, many contestants at the peak of Level 12 reached this step. Lin Yun, when he was merely at the peak of Level 12, could even face off against the second layer of the Super realm.

Of course, Lin Yun, as well as those other peak Level 12 cultivators who could contend with Super Warriors, were not ordinary peak Level 12 cultivators.

Either they had unique bloodlines, practiced special cultivation methods, or possessed powerful sacred artifacts, among other advantages.

However, for ordinary peak extreme Level 12 cultivators to contend with standard half-step Super Warriors wasn't difficult; they could easily fight to a draw against two or three ordinary peak Level 12 cultivators.

Each of these White Mist People had the strength to reach this level.

But this strength wasn't what shocked Lin Yun. Back on the first level of the Heavenly Principle Tower, he encountered White Mist People whose strength was already comparable to these ones.

Instead, by the law of escalating strength of the White Mist People on the first level, at the very start of the second level of the Heavenly Principle Tower, he encountered such strong White Mist People. Then later on, the White Mist People he would encounter might easily reach the level of a half-step Super Warrior, right?

This... was only the second level of the Heavenly Principle Tower!

Lin Yun took a deep breath.

Half-step Super Warriors were exceedingly formidable beings in the universe, second only to a very few Super Warriors. Each had a renowned name and status. Now, they were seemingly being easily conjured by the power of the rules of the second level of the Heavenly Principle Tower just to serve as a trial?

And moreover… if the Heavenly Principle Tower could let many people undergo trials at once, then how many such powerful beings could it conjure at the same time?

The third level? The fourth level? The tenth level? The twentieth level? The hundredth level?

Lin Yun dared not imagine!

At this moment, he truly believed that the Heavenly Principle Tower was not just ordinarily powerful!

"No wonder so many believe that whoever obtains the Heavenly Principle Tower could become an invincible presence in the universe. Perhaps, it is not an empty statement..." Lin Yun mused to himself.

"Maybe, I was wrong, that the First Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land didn't take this Heavenly Principle Tower away, not because it was damaged." Pausing, Lin Yun thoughtfully continued.

Otherwise, Lin Yun truly couldn't fathom how strong the First Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land must have been, to ignore such a powerful sacred artifact. If such a powerful sacred artifact was damaged, how formidable would it have been at its peak?

"However, the First Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land could enter the top level of this Heavenly Principle Tower. His strength is not just ordinarily powerful. Earth… once so ordinary, actually gave birth to such a person?" Lin Yun pondered darkly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but believe the rumors that the First Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land did not grow up ordinarily but was instead the reincarnation of a saint, and not just any saint from a previous life.

"Reincarnation… Reincarnation… Does this world truly have reincarnation? The Holy Mother, is she truly the First Saint of Immortal Origin Holy Land who, using some special technique, was resurrected after perishing… Xiao Chong, Emma White, after they perished, were they completely gone…" Lin Yun muttered softly.

This line of thought led Lin Yun to many ideas, throwing up question after question, making him eager to know the answers.

However, perhaps due to his young age and limited experience, he couldn't come up with the answers to these questions.

Gradually, Lin Yun collected his thoughts, looking toward the White Mist People that continuously emerged before him.

This Heavenly Principle Tower was no ordinary sacred artifact; even the First Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land had praised it greatly. Perhaps, when he advanced to the higher levels, he might learn more.

The various forces born from the Heavenly Principle Tower harmonized with the natural laws exquisitely.

If there truly was reincarnation in this world, then reincarnation should also be a kind of natural law, right?

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Lin Yun strode forward, unleashing one sword strike after another, continuously slaying the White Mist People that kept appearing.

As he had anticipated, the further he went, the stronger the White Mist People became. Soon, the strength of these White Mist People was comparable to that of the weaker Semi Super Warriors.

After a while, the White Mist People Lin Yun had been slaying were comparable in strength to ordinary Semi Super Warriors.

"Hum!"

At that moment, the sea of clouds in front of Lin Yun churned again, revealing a new space before him.

"The third level of the Heavenly Principle Tower, huh..."

A gleam of sharpness flashed in Lin Yun's eyes as he stepped into it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A white expanse, still a sea of clouds, but now with the addition of fierce winds constantly blowing, their power not weak, giving Lin Yun a sensation of "cold."

"Could it be the White Mist People again?" Lin Yun muttered.

While speaking, Lin Yun started walking forward.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

In just a short while, a huge gust of wind whipped up by the sea of clouds suddenly emerged, then quickly swept towards him, penetrating everywhere, leaving him no place to hide.

Seeing this gust of wind, Lin Yun's face slightly changed.

This kind of pervasive wind was very hard to defend against, and he felt that its power was incredibly strong.

"Bang— Bang— Bang—"

Lin Yun's body kept moving backward, while the protective shields he had deployed shattered quickly.

Finally, the gust subsided.

In the end, of the dozen or so layers of protective shields Lin Yun had deployed with all his might, two or three layers broke apart. Although the shields he had hastily released were not particularly strong, his current strength was no ordinary level, from which he could infer the power of the gust.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Just then, several Cloud Mist People appeared, no, not just Cloud Mist People, but also ferocious beasts made of Cloud Mist, all charging at him together.

"Roar— Roar— Roar—"

Each of the Cloud Mist Beasts was roaring, each sound heart-shaking, as if they were real Star Beasts.

The number of Cloud Mist People and Cloud Mist Beasts, together, was around a dozen.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Prepared, Lin Yun swiftly swung his Bloodthirsty Sword at these Cloud Mist People and Cloud Mist Beasts, each bursting apart under his blade, reverting to clumps of Cloud Mist that returned to the sea of clouds.

"Indeed, the strength of these Cloud Mist People and Cloud Mist Beasts has reached the level of Semi Super Warriors. Coupled with those extraordinary, pervasive gusts of wind, the difficulty of passing the third level is much greater than that of the second level..." Lin Yun took a deep breath and spoke softly.
