The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

The force of the punch was so strong that the surrounding air seemed to be instantly sucked away, creating a small vacuum. Although the dummy tried its best to resist, its chaotic spiritual energy was no match for Chen Xuan's punch, which was imbued with both Earth's wisdom and the spiritual energy of another world.

"Hidden strength!" Chen Xuan exclaimed inwardly.

With a loud "boom," cracks spread across the dummy's body instantly, and its entire form began to crumble like shattered porcelain.

The powerful impact sent the dummy flying, where it shattered into countless fragments of spiritual energy in mid-air and dissipated into the world.

"Hmm, with the Emperor's Star Shattering Fist and Little Fire's hidden strength, my advice is to keep an eye on my short position."

Ling Ruoli: "......"

"What is all this? How come it's so hard for others to defeat their own counterparts, but it's so easy for you? Did you deliberately leave yourself an opening?"

"Actually, it's nothing, the reason is very simple."

"what?"

"This dummy isn't the real me. If I were to actually encounter someone who looks exactly like me one day, I think I would have a hard time defeating them."

"But that's impossible! The power of this tower's laws is imitation; how could it fail to imitate the real you!"

“You said it yourself, it’s just an imitation. It can’t predict the future or know the real me!” Chen Xuan said, and then headed to the 101st floor.

outside world.

"It's moved! The rankings have changed! The number one spot is...!"

Outside, gasps of astonishment rose and fell. Those cultivators who had previously harbored doubts about Chen Xuan's ascension to the top now stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Just who is this Chen Xuan? He was only on the tenth floor, and he wasted so much time. Now he has managed to climb to the top of the list and defeat himself to reach the 101st floor. This is too outrageous!" someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

“Yes, I’ve witnessed this tower firsthand, and I know best how difficult it is. I’ve been watching from the outside for so long, and I’ve never seen anyone reach the top so quickly. His strength is simply beyond imagination!” another person chimed in, their eyes filled with awe.

Inside the tower, Chen Xuan had already reached the 101st floor.

The space on this floor was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, and the walls around it were covered with various strange runes that emitted a faint light.

As soon as Chen Xuan stepped inside, he felt a powerful sense of oppression wash over him. He looked around warily and saw a figure slowly emerge from the darkness.

"Welcome to the 101st floor, challenger," the figure said, his voice deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of endless time.

Chen Xuan looked closely and found that the person in front of him was an old man with white hair.

The old man was dressed in a black robe, his face was thin, but his eyes revealed a profound wisdom.

"Are you the guardian of this floor?" Chen Xuan asked.

The old man nodded slightly. "That's right, I am the inheritor of the Law of Shadow. Your presence here is proof of your strength. But the real challenge lies ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, an ancient-looking staff suddenly appeared in the old man's hand. The staff was covered with runes and emitted powerful energy fluctuations.

"This is the Staff of Equality, possessing the power of the Law of Equality," the old man said. "I will use it to raise your cultivation to the Immortal King Realm. Our cultivation levels will be equal. If you defeat me, you will pass this test, and the reward will be the Law of Shadow."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Master, tell me, do you have some similar laws that you haven't given me?"

"Ding! Host, are you searching for the Law of Equality? It's priced at 1500000 Destiny Points in the system shop. Fair and honest!"

Chen Xuan: "..."

The Immortal King Realm is a realm he can hardly reach without the experience card. Even if it's just a temporary improvement, he doesn't have the complete laws and can't be considered a true Immortal King.

But there was no sign of retreat in his eyes at this moment; instead, a burning desire to fight ignited within him.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's begin!" Chen Xuan took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy circulated rapidly. The aura of the Emperor's Star Shattering Fist was faintly visible. He wanted to test his strongest strength during this short period of cultivation improvement.

Seeing this, the old man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of appreciation. He gently waved his Equality Staff, and a strange light enveloped Chen Xuan.

In an instant, Chen Xuan felt the spiritual power within his body surge like a raging tide, and his cultivation level rapidly rose to the Immortal King realm.

"Is this what it feels like to be at the Immortal King level? It's not bad at all." Chen Xuan looked at his hands and then assumed a fighting stance.

"Take this!" he shouted, launching the first attack. His figure flashed, rushing towards the old man like a black lightning bolt. His right fist, wrapped with powerful spiritual energy and carrying the domineering power of the Emperor's Star Shattering Fist, struck straight at the old man's face.

The old man remained calm and composed; his staff vanished, replaced by a shadow.

He simply moved his shadow horizontally, blocking Chen Xuan's powerful punch. At the same time, a powerful recoil force came, and Chen Xuan felt his arm go numb, but he did not stop at all. His left fist then slammed out, the wind whistling and bursts of explosions echoing in the air.

A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be able to wield his power so skillfully after just reaching the Immortal King Realm. He lightly tapped his feet, his figure floating back several feet, avoiding Chen Xuan's attack.

"Not bad, it's truly remarkable that someone so young possesses such strength," the old man exclaimed. "However, you must be careful from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow in the old man's hand suddenly stopped, and countless black shadows suddenly surged out of the ground, rushing towards Chen Xuan like a group of ferocious demons.

Chen Xuan's expression was solemn. He could sense the powerful force contained within these shadows, and if he was not careful, he would be devoured by them.

He quickly channeled his immortal power, forming a protective shield in front of him to block the shadow's attack.

However, these shadows seemed endless, relentlessly assaulting Chen Xuan's shield. Chen Xuan's immortal power was being depleted more and more, and cracks began to appear in the shield.

"This can't go on!" Chen Xuan thought to himself. He suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them abruptly, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Dragon Fist, Unleash!"

Chen Xuan shouted, and half of the fire law within his body surged out, perfectly merging with his fist power.

He unleashed a powerful punch, a punch containing all his strength and carrying a world-destroying force, which struck directly at the old man.

Upon seeing this, the old man's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to have such a hidden trump card. He dared not be careless and quickly waved the shadow in his hand, forming a dark barrier in front of him.

With a loud "Boom!", Chen Xuan's fist collided with the old man's shadow barrier. The powerful impact stirred up a gust of wind, scattering all the surrounding shadows.

"Good, good, good!" the old man said three times, his eyes full of praise. "You are the most talented young man I have ever seen. However, don't you know that the brighter the light, the stronger the shadow?"

"not good!"

Chen Xuan was startled and quickly turned around to look at his own shadow behind him.
