Born Sacred

Chapter 240: Breakthrough 200th Floor

Noah was completely unaware of the commotion near the Civilization Pillar, and even if he knew, he would never care.

The Blue Star Civilization had been in the Civilization Convergence Zone for less than a month, so very little information about it existed. Its interaction with other worlds had only happened once, and Noah had even disguised himself during that encounter. There was no need to worry about their world coordinates being exposed.

Sky Piercing Tower.

"Huh, there are quite a people here." Noah was slightly surprised to see such a large crowd at the Sky Piercing Tower.

Although it was still not as crowded as the Civilization Pillar, there were far more people than last time he visited.

However, it had nothing to do with him.

Passing thorough the crowd, Noah entered the tower through the light gate on the first floor.

"That person looks a bit familiar." A Recorder who resembled a deer person stared at Noah’s departing figure with a thoughtful expression. He quickly remembered something. "I remember now. This person cleared 110 floors of the Sky Piercing Tower in a single attempt last time."

During Noah’s previous visit, the people waiting outside the tower had mistakenly assumed that blue water person was the actual tower climber, so they never got the chance to speak with Noah. Even so, they still remembered his appearance.

The deer person had not been directly involved at the time, which was why he did not recognize Noah immediately.

He immediately looked toward the 111th floor, and sure enough, a light spot appeared there.

The deer-person quickly spread the news throughout the Recorder’s circle.

"I wonder who can climb higher, this Child Of Civilization or the Child of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization?" The deer person asked excitedly.

"That goes without saying. It is definitely the Child of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization," a Recorder replied without hesitation. "It is said that the Civilization Lord of the Great Wilderness Civilization personally stated that this newly born Child of Civilization possesses extremely powerful Talent. At the same stage of growth, his Combat Art has already surpassed his own, making him a strong candidate to challenge the Tower of Heaven Ranking."

"This time, he should be able to reach the 200th floor."

"As for the Child Of Civilization you mentioned, he only reached the 110th floor last time, and barely ten days have passed since then.

How much progress could he possibly make in such a short period?

At best, he might reach the 130th floor.

How could he possibly compare to the Child Of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization?"

"That makes sense." The deer person nodded repeatedly.

The Civilization Lord of the Great Wilderness Civilization was a peerless expert ranked 108th on the Tower of Heaven Ranking, so there was naturally no falsehood in his words.

"Look, the Child of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization has already reached the 180th floor," the Recorder said excitedly.

It was not that he was overreacting.

Changes in the Tower of Heaven Ranking were incredibly rare, so the Recorders mainly focused on climbers below the 300th floor.

Do not think that reaching one or two hundred floors was easy. In reality, most Awakeners could not even surpass the 100th floor. That was why Noah reaching the 110th floor last time had shocked everyone outside the tower, let alone reaching the 200th floor now.

The deer-person also turned to look, but besides paying attention to the Child of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization, he also kept an eye on Noah.

...

111th Floor.

[Detected that the tower climber has reached the Five-Order tier. Do you wish to change the basic template?

Once the basic template is changed, the monster’s strength will also change.]

"No."

Noah answered without hesitation.

The Four-Order template made it difficult to fully unleash the power of Epic skills, but Noah had already decided that his future challenges would mainly rely on Combat Art, so there was no need to change the basic template.

The countdown ended, and the monster appeared before him.

Three minutes later, the monster collapsed at Noah’s feet.

The monster that had once forced him to fight with all his strength now seemed somewhat weak in comparison.

It was not that the monster had become weaker.

It was that Noah had become stronger.

[Congratulations on clearing the 111th floor of the Sky Piercing Tower. You have obtained Full Attribute Crystals ×5000.]

[You have ten minutes of rest time, or you may immediately proceed to the next floor.]

"Rest."

Noah was not in a hurry to enter the next floor.

This time, he planned to climb beyond the 200th floor, so he needed to proceed steadily, maintain his condition, and avoid unnecessary risks.

Ten minutes later, Noah entered the next floor.

Another three minutes passed, and the monster was slain.

121st Floor.

Looking at the monster lying beneath his blade, Noah felt only one thing.

Weak.

The monster’s strength had been dynamically adjusted once again, but unlike before, this time its strength had actually decreased.

Clearly, because Noah had not used any burst skills again, the previously increased difficulty had been adjusted back down.

Of course, if Noah used burst skills later, the difficulty would still rise sharply, and the higher the floor, the faster the dynamic adjustments would become.

Noah found the battles growing easier and easier.

Even so, he did not become impatient. He maintained a steady pace of one floor per minute as he climbed upward step by step.

...

"130!"

"140!"

Outside the tower, the deer-person’s eyes widened in shock.

He had been paying close attention to Noah, and what astonished him most was Noah’s consistency.

He had been slightly slower at the start, but beginning from the 121st floor, he maintained a stable pace of clearing one floor every eleven minutes all the way to the 140th floor.

The increasing difficulty seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

More and more people began noticing Noah.

After all, there were very few light spots above the 100th floor, making it impossible not to notice him.

"Who is this person?"

"His climb is unbelievably stable."

"Why do I feel like he is even stronger than the Child of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization?"

The crowd was stunned.

Although the Child of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization was also climbing steadily, he had started from the 170th floor, and the time he spent on each floor was noticeably longer than Noah’s.

After the 150th floor, Noah’s climbing speed slowed slightly, but he still maintained a pace of one floor every twelve minutes.

After the 170th floor, it became one floor every thirteen minutes.

By this point, the Child of Civilization from the Great Wilderness Civilization had already completed his challenge.

His final result was the 207th floor.

A rugged man dressed in animal skins stepped out from the light gate.

Valdrik Stormfang looked utterly exhausted, yet his face was filled with unconcealed excitement.

He had succeeded.

He had cleared the 200th floor of the Sky Piercing Tower.

And this was only the beginning.

Valdrik Stormfang believed that within half a year at most, he would reach the 300th floor and challenge the Tower of Heaven Ranking.

The moment Valdrik emerged, the surrounding Awakeners immediately swarmed toward him.

A faint smile appeared on Valdrik’s face as he prepared to receive the admiration and congratulations of the crowd.

At that moment, a shocked voice suddenly rang out.

"Holy crap, someone has reached the 180th floor!"

The rushing Awakeners instantly froze and turned toward the Sky Piercing Tower in unison.

Valdrik: "???"

A moment later, among the crowd waiting outside the Sky Piercing Tower, there was now one more rugged man dressed in animal skins.

...

190th Floor.

200th Floor.

Under the watchful eyes of countless Awakeners, Noah went through an intense battle before finally slaying the Boss guarding the floor.

"Haa..."

Noah collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily.

As expected of the Boss guarding the hundredth floor checkpoint, its strength was truly terrifying.

The system prompt echoed through the space.

[Congratulations on clearing the 200th floor of the Sky Piercing Tower. You have obtained Full Attribute Crystals ×50,000, Intermediate Skill Crystals ×3, Perfect Sublimation Stones ×3, Perfect Talent Upgrade Pills ×3, Intermediate Blood Essence ×1, and Lottery Chance ×1.]

[Due to your outstanding performance, the Blue Star Civilization has received the following rewards:

Zero-Order Awakeners: All Attributes +20

First-Order Awakeners: All Attributes +200

Second-Order Awakeners: All Attributes +2,000

Third-Order Awakeners: All Attributes +20,000

Fourth-Order Awakeners: All Attributes +200,000

Fifth-Order Expert Awakeners: All Attributes +2,000,000

The probability of Awakeners from the Blue Star Civilization obtaining high-level talents has also slightly increased.]

[You have one hour of rest time, or you may immediately proceed to the next floor.]

Finally, the 200th floor.

Noah was utterly exhausted. This climb through the Sky Piercing Tower had been no easier than the last one. If he not chosen to advance steadily and given himself enough time to rest and recover, he probably would not have been able to reach the 200th floor at all.
