Chapter 607 Yin Tian Treasure Tower

Chen Tian gazed at the triangular pagoda before him, the Yin Tian Pagoda. Entering it meant making a decision. No one knew what dangers lurked within the Yin Tian Pagoda, nor when Chen Tian would emerge. After all, this pagoda was created with the utmost care by a certain individual. Even in the Divine Realm, Chen Tian had only heard tales of the Yin Tian Pagoda's might, capable of trapping even the Heavenly Dao for days. The Heavenly Dao, the ruler of all existence! Truly the greatest formation master in the universe, to have devised such a thing.

Chen Tian made his decision. Entering the Yin Tian Pagoda was simple: one only needed to touch its body, and the pagoda would instantly draw them in. Chen Tian placed his palm on the pagoda's surface. The triangular structure was divided into three layers, resembling a pyramid externally, but internally, it was vastly different. Inside, an endless maze awaited Chen Tian. He didn't know how to break it and could only search for a method bit by bit. The initial step of the破解 method had only been discussed with Che Nian Tian.

At that time, due to the invasion of the Evil Spirit Clan, Chen Tian had to cease their communication. Moreover, the Yin Tian Formation was not yet complete. Even the creator himself was unsure how to break the Yin Tian Pagoda. Everything was his imagination, yet he had succeeded. Though he had left, his legend remained here.

Chen Tian touched the Yin Tian Pagoda, and an instant suction appeared. He transformed into a beam of light and entered the very bottom of the triangular pagoda, the first layer of the Yin Tian Pagoda. To break the Yin Tian Pagoda, one had to ascend layer by layer to the core of the third level and destroy it. Chen Tian looked at the boundless maze walls. The first layer was indeed a maze, but this one moved. Its layout was very similar to before, making it easy for Chen Tian. He only needed to follow his own lingering aura to exit the maze quickly. Of course, the walls of this maze could not be touched, nor could any attacks be launched, lest guardians appear. Chen Tian walked quietly, controlling his movements as much as possible. The entire maze was like a miniature version, limiting Chen Tian's movement to a very small area, barely enough for his silhouette. This limited space meant Chen Tian could only ensure his body did not touch the walls, trying his best to avoid it.

Chen Tian walked through the maze, but after a long time, he could not find the aura he had left earlier. Chen Tian felt a sense of unease. It seemed this was not the same as the maze outside; it was a different kind of fate. Chen Tian had thought it would be the same as the previous maze, but now it was not. Chen Tian needed to re-plan his approach. Wandering aimlessly in a maze would lead to being lost forever. Chen Tian's mind constantly simulated scenarios, visualizing scenes. Looking at the walls and his surroundings, the approximate layout of the entire maze appeared in his mind. His powerful computational ability was Chen Tian's capital, his capital for playing games. This ability was only effective in games.

Chen Tian's initial participation in world competitions was solely due to this ability. Now that Chen Tian had returned, the entire gaming world would tremble because of him.

Three years later, in the Time Epoch National Competition, Chen Tian would surely lead his team to become the national champions!

Chen Tian's mind quickly mapped out the entire maze. Following the route he had calculated, he emerged from the light. The first layer was successfully traversed. Mazes were the least challenging for Chen Tian. Calculating the full extent of a maze was too simple, easier than fighting against players.

Player battles required considering far more factors than a maze. Chen Tian's maze calculations involved only thousands of frames, while player battles required tens of thousands of frames, accounting for all sorts of situations, predicting opponents' moves and strategies minutes in advance.

These were all things Chen Tian had to consider. Minutes later, Chen Tian walked out of the maze and looked at the passage before him. The passage led upwards, the path to the second level. He wondered what the second level would be like. The passage was constructed of golden stone bricks, a material Chen Tian had never seen before, likely from materials across myriad worlds. Chen Tian's eyes could provide no information about it.

Chen Tian proceeded to the second level. He walked up the stairs of the passage, and with each step, a portion of the passage behind him vanished. This indicated Chen Tian had no retreat. The maze below became a dark void. Chen Tian had only one way forward.

*Clomp, clomp, clomp!*

Chen Tian arrived at the second level. The second level was a vast, empty space. The floor was composed of square stone blocks, similar to the previous passage. Chen Tian could discern the information of these blocks. He wondered how many unknown materials that person had wasted when creating this. If these materials could have been used to increase his strength, the Divine Realm would not have fallen after millennia of defense. Chen Tian also understood that materials not belonging to this world would not be recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Even if Chen Tian wished it, he could not use them. Different planes had forbidden items, even if he negotiated with the Heavenly Dao, it was impossible. The Heavenly Dao had a bottom line, an inviolable limit, the most basic principle.

Chen Tian had his own bottom line, let alone the Heavenly Dao. Chen Tian took a careful step. The second level was vast and silent. The quieter it was, the more cautious Chen Tian became. He had heard no information about the state of the second level and could only probe. Chen Tian stepped forward, his foot landing lightly on the ground. For a moment, nothing happened. Chen Tian looked around, and no changes occurred. Could it be that the second level had no trials?

'No, given his temperament, the second level must have a trial, definitely more difficult than the first. But the fact that not even a minor change occurred is too strange.'

Chen Tian stroked his chin, his mind simulating various scenarios, countless images appearing, but none fit the current situation. Couldn't there be at least one small change? How could he calculate anything like this?

"Wait, what if a change requires a mechanism? The mechanism is the stone slab beneath my feet..."

Chen Tian finished his contemplation and took his second step. Indeed, as Chen Tian took his second step, the first stone slab he had stepped on flew up into the sky, then fell back to the ground. The stone slab shattered, and a stone puppet rushed towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian's expression remained unchanged. This was exactly as he had expected.

Chen Tian had finally realized that a mechanism might be needed to trigger a change. After tens of thousands of calculations, his final deduction focused on the stone slabs beneath his feet. Chen Tian looked down, realizing this level was becoming difficult.

If he continued to advance, the stone puppets would multiply. Without knowing the exit, moving randomly would ultimately lead to being surrounded and overwhelmed.

Chen Tian had no choice but to stand still and observe. The stone puppets did not care what Chen Tian was doing; they attacked relentlessly. Chen Tian waved his arm, and terrifying power coalesced into sword light and blade shadows, engulfing the stone puppets. Explosions erupted one after another. When the smoke cleared, Chen Tian looked at the stone puppets with a hint of surprise. These stone puppets had withstood his full-power attack without a scratch.

This made things worse. Chen Tian needed to find a way out; otherwise, he would be trapped here forever.

For now, Chen Tian dared not move. The stone puppets attacked, and Chen Tian chose to defend. The material of these puppets was likely even harder than the walls of the first-level maze. His full-power strike had done no damage; even a slight scratch would have been acceptable to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian truly wanted to curse the creator. Why design such a monstrous thing? Was this not purely to prevent anyone from leaving?

Unbeknownst to Chen Tian, the Yin Tian Formation was originally created to trap enemies for life.

Chen Tian looked at the stone puppets, observing them carefully. His eyes changed. After his interface updated, his Divine Eye became his eyes, possessing many abilities. Chen Tian was now searching for the power source of these creatures. Every puppet had a power supply device; otherwise, how would they move?

As expected, something unexpected happened. Chen Tian couldn't find the power supply at all, as if there was no power source. These things were truly puppets.

The long blades of the stone puppets struck Chen Tian's barrier. The barrier trembled, on the verge of shattering. Chen Tian's time was running out. His mind simulated scenarios: where was the energy device for these things?
