Samsara Online

[Goddess Mei Hen sealed countless species of terrifying and powerful monsters inside the 99 floors of the tower, leaving the unknown 100th floor free to which she did not have access. From that time on, the Void Tower was known as the Heaven of Samsara by the inhabitants of the Adastreia Continent.

[The Void Tower has a total of 99 separate worlds in the form of floors. Each floor has different characteristics, different enemies, and different tests that challengers must overcome in order to ascend.

The highest floor reached in the last ten millennia was floor number 80, reached by the strongest emperor in the history of mankind before he was forced to stop, unable to go any higher].

[You are currently on the initial floor].

A system announcement that only he could hear sounded from the sky, giving him a brief but concise introduction to where he was currently.

The highest floor ever reached in history had been the strongest human emperor of mankind. This emperor was an existence with half a foot in the Saint rank and invincible within the God rank. Unfortunately, he failed to break beyond his limits, dying after several millennia.

The current human emperor was a God rank existence as well, but there was no way to compare him to the strongest emperor in the history of mankind.

"So this place is called Void Tower, huh?" Xie Feng muttered to himself as he inspected and felt his surroundings carefully.

His environs were surrounded by pale yellow grass, it was similar to dry straw but it was obviously not that. There were also trees with their trunks seemingly dead but with lush yellow and brown leaves on their branches.

But what struck Xie Feng the most was that every time he breathed, his body felt lighter than in the past. It was a strange but extremely pleasant feeling; so much so that Xie Feng could not help but let out a sigh of satisfaction unconsciously.

"The air here is even purer than in Adastreia Continent..." Xie Feng was surprised.

If the air inside the Void Tower was much purer than the air of Adastreia Continent, then there was simply no way to compare it to the polluted air of planet Earth. Wanting to compare the two was no different than wanting to compare a firefly to the moon.

Just as Xie Feng relaxed slightly, a shadow jumped in his direction like a flash of lightning.

However, even though Xie Feng had relaxed, his guard was by no means down. After all, he knew that this place was riddled with hidden dangers everywhere.

Xie Feng turned his body and gave the attacker a strong kick, sending it flying ten meters and in the process avoiding the enemy attack.

When he saw the appearance of the hidden enemy, Xie Feng narrowed his eyes and finally understood the reason why this creature had managed to get so close to him without him noticing.

[Earth Scale Tiger

Level: 2

HP: 21/400

Description: A beast with high adaptability. Their scales change depending on the environment they are in, camouflaging them and turning them into terrifying killers. Even enemies several levels above it has fallen into its jaws].

This particular tiger had its body covered in opaque scales that were identical to the color of the surrounding grass, making it extremely difficult to detect even though it was over a meter tall. Its brilliant golden eyes looked at Xie Feng with burning rage and roared at him as if it was warning him of something.

Xie Feng was surprised when he saw the Earth Scale Tiger’s health. That amount of health was even higher than many levels 5 monsters outside this place!

After adding the 35 points of free status that Xie Feng had gained after leveling up seven times, his STR attribute had already reached 380 points. That kick of his was more than enough to slay any level 2 monster outside this place twice, but the Earth Scale Tiger didn’t actually die.

Before the monster could react, Xie Feng had already reached five meters range and stabbed with his spear at lightning speed, ending its life once and for all.

"This place really is dangerous."

Xie Feng turned even more cautiously towards the place called Heaven of Samsara. Only the second floor but a level two monster was already comparable to a level five monster outside of this place. This was more than enough proof to show that the species sealed by Goddess Mei Hen in this place was no joke.

It was currently easy for him since he was a level 33 player with overwhelmingly superior stats. However, Xie Feng knew that sooner rather than later he would reach a point where a small mistake could end up costing him his life.

Wait a minute... Just as Xie Feng was about to inspect his spoils of war, suddenly a thought popped into his mind causing his movements to come to a complete halt.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a guardian protecting this place? How come no one blocked his path? Xie Feng hadn’t even taken out the key that Xiao Lei had given him back then and simply entered into the tower as if it was his own house!

Could it be that the rules changed? However, that wasn’t possible, was it? After all, the introduction clearly stated that all the people who tried to enter in the past were forcibly rejected and only Goddess Mei Hen managed to enter with unknown methods.It was only after she managed to enter that they began to appear challengers, hoping to reach the 100th floor that not even the goddess who protected humanity from the shadows could break.

It was only after she managed to enter that they began to appear challenger, hoping to reach the 100th floor that not even the goddess who protected humanity from the shadows could enter.

As for how these people managed to enter, it was undoubtedly thanks to the objects called Hero’s Key. As for where those things came from, Xie Feng had no idea.

"Forget it, maybe the guardian of this place was napping or something." Xie Feng shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Whether or not there was a guardian protecting the entrance was none of his business. Now that he had entered this place, he could return whenever he wanted by using the Void Breaking Stone.

Still, Xie Feng hoped that this guardian Xiao Lei had told him about was nothing more than a fantasy. Otherwise, Xie Feng might have a hard time in case he wished to study more about the cultivation techniques and runes carved around the entire outer tower in the future.

Flash!

Suddenly, the Pearl of Light, which was resting quietly in his inventory, shot out and began to glow brightly. The glow was so intense that Xie Feng was forced to partially cover his eyes to avoid being blinded.

Swoosh!

A beam of light flickered and shot out from the Pearl of Light into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in less than a second. Immediately after, the pearl returned to normal.

Xie Feng held it in his hands with a dumbfounded look.

"This... What was that all about!?" His mind was blank unable to process whatever was going on.

He inspected the pearl again but there was nothing strange about it. Its stats were the same, its skills had not changed, and its appearance was as perfect as before.

In the end, Xie Feng shook his head cluelessly and continued on his way in search of an exit to head to the second floor in order to ascend further.

The pearls were legendary objects that were millions of years old. No human or other creature before Xie Feng had been able to use them properly. Therefore, no matter how hard he tried to study them, there was no way he would find anything in such a short time.

China, Shanghai.

It was currently past 3 o’clock in the afternoon and the sun was shining high. Although the temperatures were still not high enough to go out casually dressed, the cold was by no means insufferable.

Being one of the most important cities in the world, Shanghai was very busy both during the day and at night. However, this was especially the case for when the sun was up.

As people went to work, went for a walk, or simply took a break at home, a beam of white light appeared in the sky and fell at full speed over the city of Shanghai; more specifically, near the center of the city.

However, such an impressive feat was not seen by anyone and everyone went on with their lives like any other normal day. Not even the most advanced satellites built by mankind have been able to capture such a phenomenon.
