Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 590 - : Charging Through the Tower (Middle)
Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Charging Through the Tower (Middle)
Boom!
Just as Wang Chen’s words fell, the ground suddenly shook.
The platform under his feet roared, and the peripheries began to expand outward.
As the area grew, chunks of ground quickly rose, transforming the original flat surface into rolling hills!
Wang Chen had assumed that choosing to continue the challenge would lead to a direct transport to the second tier of the Tower of Heaven-reaching.
The outcome was completely beyond his expectations.
Wang Chen was one hundred percent certain that the scene before his eyes was not an illusion, but rather the tower’s powerful capability to transform the landscape itself!
In just a short span of ten breaths, the battlefield meant for him had completely changed its appearance!
Immediately afterward, a new gateway of light appeared not far away.
Wang Chen’s Sumeru Ring was sealed once again.
Not only that, an invisible force also immobilized Wang Chen, rendering him unable to move.
Under Wang Chen’s gaze, a Puppet Leopard burst out of the gateway of light.
Then came a second, and a third.
The three Puppet Leopards quickly spread out, encircling Wang Chen from different directions.
And just as they charged, Wang Chen regained his freedom.
If the first tier was a single Puppet Leopard, and the second tier had increased to three, then the third tier…
Wang Chen’s thoughts raced like lightning, but his actions did not hesitate for a second, as he raised his arms and channeled Mana, the intense flames rising swiftly.
Two Mysterious Fire Flying Crows materialized in the blink of an eye, spreading their fiery wings and respectively meeting the Puppet Leopards lunging towards him from the left and the right.
As for the middle one, it was met with Wang Chen’s Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!
These three Puppet Leopards looked exactly the same as the previous one in terms of size and appearance, but they seemed to possess higher intelligence; the two on the sides immediately dodged as the Fire Crows swooped down upon them.
The middle Puppet Leopard also didn’t dare to face the brunt head-on, twisting its waist and surprisingly passing by Wang Chen.
Following that, the leopard’s tail ferociously whipped towards Wang Chen’s legs.
At the thickness of a child’s arm and made of metal, the tail cut through the air with a powerful force. Just as it seemed set to strike Wang Chen’s knees with a heavy blow, it was suddenly seized by a large hand reaching down!
Hiss!
Wang Chen’s right arm sleeve tore open abruptly, the muscles on his arm bulging enormously.
Under the boost of the Mighty Strength Technique at Great Perfection level, his strength instantly broke through his own limits, his fingers gripping the sleek leopard tail as if they were iron pincers.
The Puppet Leopard sensed the grim situation and urgently opened its tooth-filled maw, turning to bite at Wang Chen.
But before it could succeed, Wang Chen, holding its tail, swung it high into the air.
He then slammed it towards another Puppet Leopard on the left.
The Puppet Leopard on the left had just avoided the attack from the Mysterious Fire Flying Crow and never expected Wang Chen to use its companion as a club. Caught off guard, it was struck squarely.
Bang!
The two Puppet Leopards collided heavily, the impact point issuing a sound of metal friction and breakage.
It made one’s teeth ache just listening to it!
The struck Puppet Leopard was smashed to the ground and rolled twice, trying to get up, only to suffer another blow.
One hit, two hits, three hits…
Wang Chen unleashed his divine strength, wielding the Puppet Leopard in his hand as a weapon, smashing it so persistently that its head, body, and limbs were severely deformed and it couldn’t rise.
As for the Puppet Leopard that had been used as a club, it was a harrowing sight to behold!
In fact, these Puppet Leopards were quite formidable. Their speed was astonishing, their claws and teeth could easily tear apart a Cultivator’s Body Protection Spell, and their strength was very considerable.
Once a Puppet Leopard got close enough to tear into its prey, an ordinary Purple Mansion Cultivator couldn’t withstand it, having no choice but to fly up and use Spells to bomb it from above.
However, the Puppet Leopard’s outer armor was highly resistant to Spells, and coupled with their swift movements, even if they couldn’t fly into the sky to fight, they were more than capable of outlasting their opponents until the Cultivator’s Mana was exhausted and they fell.
Charge and bite again!
Dealing with one Puppet Leopard was already difficult, three cooperating in battle increased their combat power by more than just threefold.
Unfortunately for them, their opponent was Wang Chen!
Wang Chen had never been a mere Dharma Cultivator, his close-quarters combat abilities far surpassed his spellcasting abilities.
Combined with his Golden Core tier’s Undying Body, these fellows’ tragedy was sealed!
Just as Wang Chen was fighting “leopard with leopard,” the third Puppet Leopard pounced behind him silently, its claws glinting as it viciously aimed for his nape.
A Puppet Leopard’s paw could shoot out three sharp claws at once, each four inches long and dagger-like in their sharpness.
They sliced through the air without a sound!
However, Wang Chen, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, suddenly lashed out with a “Divine Dragon’s Tail Whip.”
His right leg struck heavily on the attacker’s head.
The Puppet Leopard was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
Bang!
Wang Chen slammed the Puppet Leopard he was holding onto the one on the ground, causing the two to collapse and shatter upon collision, their inner “parts” scattering in all directions.
The next moment, Wang Chen dropped the severed tail he was holding and vanished on the spot.
He immediately reappeared in front of the kicked Puppet Leopard.
He raised his arms high, right hand tightly clasping his left fist, and hammered down towards the creature’s head.
Bang!
The Puppet Leopard’s head caved in significantly from the blow, one eye shattered and broke, with only its limbs still flailing.
Wang Chen struck again, forcefully.
Crack!
The Puppet Leopard’s head was smashed clean off its neck, the break showing only fragments, revealing a rather sophisticated structure.
“Tower of Heaven-reaching second tier challenge successful!”
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Chen slowly straightened up, rubbing his somewhat sore wrists.
Each of his recent strikes had been with full power, and both his palms and arms had withstood great rebounding force.
Had it not been for the protection of his Undying Body, swelling and injury would have likely occurred by now.
Even the meridians might have been damaged!
Now, it was just a bit sore.
Moments later, three crystal stones floated in front of Wang Chen.
Truth be told, Wang Chen felt somewhat disappointed, considering the Tower of Heaven-reaching to be mighty impressive, yet its rewards seemed so “meager.”
But then he considered that the tower had a total of ninety-nine tiers, and he came to terms with it.
It was just the beginning!
“Do you wish to challenge the third tier of the Tower of Heaven-reaching?”
This time, Wang Chen didn’t immediately agree. He calmly sat down and began to regulate his breath and energy.

The challenge difficulty of the Tower of Heaven-reaching increased with each level, and to achieve his ultimate limit, rushing headlong would not be wise. A steady, step-by-step approach was the key.
Interestingly, after passing the second tier, apart from the spoils from the Puppet Leopard, Wang Chen had also received some information from the Ancient Taoist Stele.
It was information about the Ancient Sky-reaching Tower.
Intuition told Wang Chen that if he cleared all eighty-one tiers, conquering every challenge, he would not only uncover all the secrets of this immense tower but might even gain control over the Ancient Sky-reaching Tower itself!
