Fang Hao stood at the staircase leading to the ninth level, taking a few deep breaths to adjust his state to its peak.
Having just achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Golden Core Stage, his spiritual power was surging, almost overflowing, and he felt like he could kill an ox with a single punch.
However, he knew clearly in his heart that each level of the heaven-reaching pagoda was more bizarre than the last; the ninth level would definitely be even more difficult to deal with, and he absolutely could not let his guard down.
He lifted his foot and stepped steadily onto the stairs of the ninth level.
The scene before his eyes changed again. This time, it was not a grand hall, nor was it some illusion, but a void...
Above, below, left, right, front, and back, everything was gray and boundless; he could feel neither the sky nor the ground. He was just suspended in the air, with nothing beneath his feet, and his heart felt empty as well.
