Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan and his team passed through vast mountains and star-studded forests. In front of them was a vast plain. At the end of the plain stood a huge checkpoint - Dixing Pass. This checkpoint was like a natural moat between heaven and earth, magnificent and majestic. The huge wall towered into the clouds, made of star metal, gleaming with silver-blue light, as if the entire checkpoint itself was integrated with the power of the stars, absorbing the spiritual energy and starlight between heaven and earth, and exuding an unparalleled sense of power.

This barrier is not only the barrier of the Imperial Star State, but also the strongest barrier that Lin Fan and his companions have encountered so far. Facing this majestic barrier, everyone felt a heavy pressure in their hearts, as if they were not facing a human, but the incarnation of heaven and earth.

Lin Fan and his group stood in front of the Emperor Star Pass. The air around them seemed to be frozen, making their breathing heavy. Jiang Shuiling looked around and whispered, "The concentration of spiritual energy in this pass is higher than anywhere else... It's even more oppressive than the Water Dragon Secret Realm."

There was a hint of worry in her voice. She had never felt such a strong force before, even when they had passed the previous level. She stroked her chest with her palm, feeling the flow of spiritual power, and a hint of uneasiness rose in her heart.

Jin Buke clenched his sword tightly, his eyes determined: "This checkpoint is unusual. The star metal on the wall seems to be absorbing the star power around it, forming a powerful barrier. Ordinary power cannot shake it at all."

Lin Fan stood at the front, his eyes fixed on the towering checkpoint. He could clearly feel that the Emperor Star Checkpoint was not just made of ordinary things, it seemed to be a part of the origin of heaven and earth, resonating with the power of the stars, forming an indescribable sense of resonance.

"This is the ninth level, the Emperor Star Level." Zhong Ling'er's voice trembled slightly, with awe and nervousness in her tone. She has always been brave and careful, but facing this level, even she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Ye Wuhen was in the back, looking around with sharp eyes. He was always agile and the fastest in the whole team, but at this moment, he did not dare to act rashly. The pressure of Emperor Star Pass was like an invisible mountain, which made every step they took extremely difficult.

Lin Fan raised his head and stared at the huge gate in the middle of the checkpoint. The gate was a hundred feet high, with star-like patterns on its surface, and it seemed to be breathing and flickering. Every inch of the gate was filled with a sense of oppression, as if it was not an ordinary gate, but was condensed by the power of the stars and the heaven and earth, blocking any creature that tried to cross this checkpoint.

"This is not an ordinary level..." Lin Fan whispered, his eyes flashing with calmness. He placed his right hand on the handle of the Qiankun Axe, his fingers gently stroking the axe blade, as if waiting for an impending storm.

The appearance of Emperor Chen

Just as everyone was thinking about how to break through this barrier, the city gate emitted a low roar, as if a giant dragon was roaring. The heavy city gate slowly opened, and a cold starlight poured out from the gate, instantly covering the entire land. The starlight reflected on the ground, forming a silver-white light curtain, which was like flowing water, fluctuating with a strange aura.

Everyone's breath was held as they felt the powerful pressure from the starlight.

Inside the pass, a tall figure slowly walked out. He was wearing a silver battle armor that shone with starlight, and countless tiny stars were inlaid on the battle armor, which flickered slightly with his steps, as if every step resonated with the stars. His momentum was as majestic as the sea, as if everything in the world was under his control.

"Who is he?" Jiang Shuiling asked softly, with shock in her eyes.

Lin Fan had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the man's identity.

"He is the gatekeeper of the Emperor Star Pass, Emperor Chen." Lin Fan's voice was low and solemn. He knew very well that the man in front of him was not only a gatekeeper, but also one of the most powerful beings in the Emperor Star State. His power was unfathomable, and the Emperor Star Armor could guide the power of the stars and turn the power of the surrounding heaven and earth into his own use.

Di Chen stood in front of the city gate, his eyes were cold, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes. He looked around at Lin Fan and others with indifference and contempt, as if he was looking at a group of insignificant ants.

"Who are you? How dare you step into the territory of Emperor Star State?" Di Chen's voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable pressure. His aura spread with his voice, as if the stars in the world were responding to his question.

"A mortal who wants to set foot in the Emperor Star State is simply seeking death." He slowly raised his feet and walked towards Lin Fan and others. Every step seemed to drive the flow of spiritual energy around him. The ground under his feet cracked where he walked, and starlight was faintly surging in the cracks. The spiritual energy gathered around him, forming a strong sense of oppression.

Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately understood that Di Chen was no ordinary enemy. His power far exceeded that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and to some extent, he had even touched the edge of the rules of heaven and earth. And the Emperor Star Armor on him was the most difficult part of this battle. The armor not only protected his entire body, but also absorbed the power of the stars around him, forming an almost indestructible defense.

Lin Fan gripped the Qiankun Axe tightly, feeling the heavy force coming from the axe blade. He knew that this would be a difficult battle, perhaps more dangerous than any previous one. However, he did not retreat at all, instead, a stronger fighting spirit ignited in his heart.

"Whether we can pass this level is still unknown." Lin Fan responded calmly, his voice full of determination and unyielding. He raised his head and looked directly into Di Chen's eyes, without any fear in his eyes.

Di Chen frowned slightly. He obviously didn't expect that these invaders in front of him would dare to look at him, and he didn't expect that they were not intimidated by his aura.

"You ignorant ants, since you don't know whether to live or die, let me personally send you off." Di Chen smiled coldly, waved his right hand, and a silver star spear appeared in his hand. The spear glowed with cold light, as if it was condensed from star fragments. The power emitted by the spear was enough to make the heaven and earth tremble.

"Let's fight! Let me see what qualifications you have to step into the Emperor Star State!" Di Chen shouted in a low voice, and suddenly thrust out the spear in his hand. A cold starlight suddenly burst out in the air, and the silver-white light turned into a huge gun shadow, pointing directly at Lin Fan.

This attack seemed to have condensed the power of the stars, and it was as powerful as a rainbow, going straight to Lin Fan's heart.

Lin Fan's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He did not hesitate at all and swung the Qiankun Axe in his hand. A golden light burst out from the axe blade, and with the might of tearing the world apart, he met the gun shadow. The axe blade and the gun shadow collided in mid-air, making a deafening roar. The powerful power fluctuations spread out immediately, shaking the surrounding mountains.
