Chapter 285: A Thrilling Moment
It was a joke.
Wang Wen looked at himself.
It combined a wide range of abilities and items.
He had always thought that he was very similar to the World Tower.
He could conjure illusions, traps, and poisons out of thin air. If it were not for the energy constraints, teleportation could be used indefinitely.
He had a new ability—Unity of Man and Nature.
It was as if even the energy constraints were almost gone.
He raised the Oath Scepter and used the Unity of Man and Nature to make the oath.
He gently announced that his energy was unlimited.
The oath had been made.
A sudden clap of thunder.
The scepter bloomed with a harsh light that seemed to tear one’s heart apart.
A strong wind suddenly blew through the entire space.
Standing in the safe zone on the 710th floor, one could feel the earth and sky tremble.
It was as if countless massive beasts were roaring in the blurry area that was invisible to the naked eye.
The checkpoint had yet to open.
He heard the drone beeping. “Level progress reached 1821750810 percent, the 710th floor cleared.Please enter the next floor within five minutes, or you will be forcefully teleported.”
Wang Wen was struck by the magnitude of the rapidly increasing energy in his body.
He cursed in his heart as soon as the mechanical voice rang out.
He could not move his body for some reason.
He could not speak or use his spiritual energy.
Wang Wen saw the teleportation gate light up not far away, but he could not move because he could not add any more terms to prevent the oath from becoming true.
He could only stare at Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, hoping for a reaction and for them to move him to the entrance.
Otherwise, they would be forced to travel to an unknown location.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo were only concerned with the changes in their surroundings and stood there with their eyes wide open.
Wang Wen did not say anything.
The two of them did not move.
A few minutes flew by in an instant.
At the last moment, Zhu Xingguo came over with a puzzled face and asked, “Master, it’s almost time. Aren’t we going to enter the portal?”
Wang Wen’s eyes narrowed. ‘Idiot! Of course! Hurry up and move me!’
Ren Ruoruo kindly said, “Captain must have a plan. He might need to stay here to recover. Don’t disturb him.”
Wang Wen’s eyes twitched. ‘Plan my *ss!” Don’t overthink at a time like this!’
Time passed slowly.
Wang Wen’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Zhu Xingguo looked at Wang Wen and shook his head. “No, Master did not say a word. It’s a little strange!”
He pulled the drone over and asked, “What happened to my master? Is this your doing?”
The drone only cared about the announcement.
“Please enter the floor within 53 seconds. Otherwise, you will be teleported.”
Wang Wen’s face flushed as he looked at the drone just a few meters from the entrance.
His body still did not move.
Ren Ruoruo was also a little anxious. She looked at the countdown and clenched her hands tightly. She comforted herself by believing in her captain while hoping that Wang Wen would give her instructions quickly.
However, Zhu Xingguo kept staring at Wang Wen.
Until the few final seconds.
He suddenly had an idea.
He pulled over the drone and pushed it in front of Wang Wen.
The drone instantly stopped moving.
Then he lowered the scanning ray used for storage and shone it on the Oath Scepter in Wang Wen’s hand, storing the scepter.
The scepter disappeared.
Wang Wen’s body fell to the ground.
He did not even have the time to use his spiritual power. He shouted, “Go!”
He pulled Zhu Xingguo and dashed to the entrance.
Ren Ruoruo reacted quickly and rushed toward the portal at once.
The three flew into the entrance at the last second before the countdown ended.
“World Tower, the 710th floor, ended.”
“The 711th floor begins.”
Before the three had a chance to catch their breath…
The mechanical voice sounded again.
“If you don’t enter the next level within the time limit, you will be sent to a survival stage with a punishment of large-scale destruction.”
The mechanical voice had yet to fade.
A white light appeared in front of them, almost piercing through their eyes and into the back of their heads.
The extreme heat and countless rapid particle shock waves then collided head-on.
Wang Wen erected a transparent barrier around the three of them.
It was instantly broken.
“Get behind me!” he shrieked helplessly.
He was prepared to test again with a spiritual shield and a transparent barrier.
However, before he could make a sound, he felt a burning pain in his throat.
He had no choice but to draw his scepter and swear that the transparent barrier could withstand all harm.
His body’s energy had been depleted.
He would have been drained dry if he had not used the Unity of Man and Nature in the safe zone to increase his energy limit.
He was fortunate.
In those short ten minutes…
His energy had multiplied hundreds of times.
Finally, he barely managed to block all the incoming damage.
About half of his energy had been depleted, and it was still dwindling, though not as quickly as before.
In the blink of an eye…
The three of them were already charred black.
His skin was cracked, and the blood inside was visible.
His clothes had all been reduced to ashes.
Wang Wen’s physique, which had been strengthened to Level 7, could barely handle it.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, both with Level 6 physiques, were on the verge of collapsing.
Ren Ruoruo recognized the danger and transformed into a Battle Angel.
A series of healing chants accompanied the green light of the big blessing spell that fell from the sky. It was as if the gates of heaven had been opened, and God’s grace had descended.
The injuries on her body healed quickly, at a visible rate.
Her fair skin was even smoother and more translucent than when the World Tower had healed it.
After all, the World Tower only healed it.
On the other hand, the Battle Angel’s blessing might enable a person to reach a higher level.
For a brief moment, the dust settled.
Ren Ruoruo looked through the transparent barrier at the rising clouds gradually turning orange and exclaimed, “What? A nuclear bomb?”
Wang Wen’s eyes were filled with tears as he replied, “To be more precise, it’s a hydrogen-uranium bomb.”
“That’s the legendary punishment teleportation?” Ren Ruoruo asked in shock. “They want us to survive a nuclear bomb? Ordinary people can’t even leave the tower in time, right?”
“How are we supposed to survive this? There’s no way to move to find the entrance! It’s all my fault. If only I had pushed the drone to Master earlier!” Zhu Xingguo was extremely annoyed.
Upon hearing that…
Ren Ruoruo also showed an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry. I even tried to stop you—”
Wang Wen interrupted their reflection, pulled the drone over, and said in a deep voice, “Send us back! We did not break any rules; there was still one second left!”
The drone was in the process of being melted and repaired.
It received a question from Wang Wen, the team leader.
It sounded like an impatient machine.
“Even light takes time to fly, let alone teleportation. If you do not enter the next level within the time limit, you will trigger a punishment-type forced teleportation.”
“I’m sorry.” A mysterious smile appeared on Wang Wen’s face. “That’s your problem. It has nothing to do with us. We were already in the portal within the stipulated five minutes. It’s not our problem that you’re slow. If there’s a need for punishment, it should be on you, not us.”
The drone became even more impatient and tried to fly away.
“The rules are fixed. There is no need to argue. Please exit the tower if you are dissatisfied.”
“That’s what I wanted to hear!” Wang Wen snorted coldly.
He grabbed the drone that was trying to break free and smashed it to the ground with a loud bang.
Within the cracks…
The scepter fell heavily, accurately pinning the drone, and at the same time, he used the skill he had just obtained.
