After they waited for a long time, Tang Chen's core and soul finally finished absorbing the lightning dragons, and the sky that was previously pitch black slowly became brightly lit as he soared into the sky.
Unlike the breakthroughs of cultivators in the god realm and below, the sky suddenly opened up above Tang Chen, and those cultivators could feel a different Qi descending from the sky.
However, the immortal qi did not spread in various directions and circled around Tang Chen like a vortex before flowing into his body gradually, where it began to forge his internal organs.
Although he had seen that, Hundun's confidence did not disappear. 'Heh! You might manage to break through to that stage, but you are still not my opponent. Even if I am unable to kill you, I can summon my brothers for assistance, and they can help me kill you.'

The cultivators from the Star Cloud Realm looked at Tang Chen in awe, especially since this was the first time they witnessed a cultivator breaking through to the Three Immortal Realms. Even though some of their ancestors had also managed to break through to that stage, none of them were as crazy as him to break through in public, and they did it in a hidden place so that no one would disturb their breakthrough.
"Unbelievable! That immortal Qi is truly different from our normal Qi, and I felt something unusual from it." Dongfang Jing muttered as she continued to look up at the sky.
Dongfang Xuexian nodded in agreement. "Somehow it gives me a calm vibe, but it also gives me a scary vibe."
"That's true." Lao He suddenly realized something. "Hey, won't Tang Chen be forced to ascend to the supreme realm after this? So how can he fight Hundun?"
Hearing that, they turned to Zhou Yu, especially since she was the only one among them who knew about it, and she had also been to the supreme realm before.
"You guys don't need to panic." Zhou Yu said to them while shaking her head. "Tang Chen won't immediately ascend to the supreme realm, and he still has a little time to fight Hundun. However, I just got important information from my big sister, and I'm not sure that he can defeat that beast."
"Are you serious about that?" Ma Zui asked in a high tone, especially since they couldn't face Hundun, and they placed their hopes on Tang Chen's shoulders.
Yao Shengyun also asked Zhao Yu. "Does that mean that Hundun's strength will still be higher than Tang Chen after he breaks through later?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded before explaining it to them. "In fact, the last beast war happened because Hundun and the other three evil mythical beasts needed the essence of those virtue mythical beasts, so they attacked them and killed many of them, and they absorbed their beast essences to strengthen themselves. That's why there's a possibility that he still retains his true strength to fight you guys, and his cultivation is likely to be in the middle or upper stage, so it is impossible for Tang Chen to defeat him with his unstable cultivation in the lower stage."
All of them took a deep breath after hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, mainly because the situation would be dangerous if Tang Chen couldn't defeat Hundun, and the people in their realm would also suffer if they lost to him.
"My husband knows that he won't be able to defeat Hundun, but you guys don't need to worry about it because he has prepared something that can stop him." They turned to Yue Mengyi in surprise, especially after they saw the lack of worry in her expression. "My ancestor already gave something to him, but he already used it once in the past, so he only has two chances to use it again. Honestly, I didn't want him to use it because there would be much bigger problems in the future, but he has made the decision to use it, and he wants to protect this realm because this place is a turning point for our clan."
They weren't surprised to hear that because they knew that the Tang Clan came from the lower realm, and the Star Cloud Realm was their residence after they left their realm, so it was natural that Tang Chen had an attachment to their realm.
Quite a lot of time had passed since Tang Chen started his breakthrough, and his body was increasingly filled with immortal qi. Even his body began to experience quite significant changes after being tempered by the immortal qi. Besides, they could feel that his aura was continuing to strengthen, and they could hear his loud heatbeat, even though they were quite far away.
After the day passed, they saw the immortal Qi vortex disappear, but the light in the sky still did not disappear. Moments later, they saw three figures appear around Tang Chen: one gold, one purple, and one red. However, they couldn't see their true appearances, as if there was something obscuring their vision; even Zhou Yu, who was a member of the spirit race, couldn't see their figure.
"They are the avatars of immortals." Zhou Yu quietly said this to them, but she felt familiar with the golden figure. 'The aura of that golden figure is the same as I felt after Ling Yun came out of the Ancient Garden, but Tang Chen doesn't have that element, so she shouldn't have sent her avatar here.'
"Do you know their identities, Jiange Xiuxi?" Ye Fengyan asked her.
However, Zhou Yu shook her head at Ye Fengyan. "I've never met immortals before, so I don't know their identities. However, the red and purple figures clearly have an affinity with thunder and fire elements, especially since Tang Chen has those two elements."
Sure enough, as Zhou Yu expected, the red and purple figures stretched out their hands towards Tang Chen before fire and lightning qi shot out from their hands, shrouding his body, and they helped him in his final breakthrough.
"Hmm?" Zhou Yu raised her eyebrows when she sensed that the golden figure was looking at her, but the figure suddenly spoke into her mind, conveying several things to her. 'Tch! As expected! You are indeed the Time Lord!'
[You are indeed right, Little Spirit. My name is Huang Lingzhu, and people address me as the Time Lord. As I told you before, Long Hun's sole heir will never be able to reach the top of the tower on his own, and you are the only person who can help him, so you must stay by his side. However, I forbid you from helping him before he makes it to the 90th floor, and he has to reach that floor with his own abilities, or else he will not be able to face the challenges above that floor.]
'Hmm?' Zhou Yu looked at Huang Lingzhu seriously after hearing that. 'So the tower was created solely for Ling Yun, huh?
[Not really; this human actually managed to pass the 90th floor, but he decided not to continue because he was already aware of the mystery behind the tower, so he gave up his intention to continue challenging it, and he waited for Long Hun's sole heir to finish it.]
'So which part of the Chaos Dragon's body did you keep in that tower?'
[I didn't keep any of Long Hun's body parts in that tower, but one of his body parts was stored in a place beyond that tower, and his heir needs your help to reach that place, so you must not leave his side before he arrives at that place.]
'A place beyond that tower?' Zhou Yu muttered to herself before realizing about that place. 'All right, you don't need to worry about that. I will take Ling Yun there, but it will probably take a while before he can reach the 90th floor, so you have to wait for him.'
[Haha! I am the Time Lord, so time means nothing to me, and it doesn't matter to me if I have to wait for him for several millennia.]
'Hey, you underestimate Ling Yun too much!' Zhou Yu shouted to Huang Lingzhu. 'The current him is still too weak, but he is always evolving with each passing time, and you won't have to wait too long for him to reach that place.'
[I know; I've been watching him since he inherited Long Hun's bloodline, and I believe that he won't let me down. Anyway, they're done, so it's time for us to return, and you should always remember my previous messages.]
'I know.'
Instantly, the three immortal figures disappeared from their sight, and a huge Qi burst out from Tang Chen's body and swept across the area.
*Swoosh...*
After a while, Tang Chen had opened his eyes, but his aura was much different compared to before he broke through, and a strange symbol appeared on his forehead. Soon, a red ring and a purple ring appeared behind him, and he looked at Hundun while his right hand tightly gripped his saber and his left hand held a short purple spear.
Seeing his appearance like that, Hundun looked at Tang Chen with a serious expression. 'What actually happened to him? He only broke through to the lower level, but his aura is different from cultivators of the same level.'
