On the last floor, Krune appeared with Shinja and the others, but there was one thing different this time. As soon as Krune spread his Divine Sense, he could see hundreds of contestants! He immediately spotted Colen, Nala, and Gomat in the middle of the group. In fact, there wasn't even a need for Divine Sense. One just had to look around, and they would be able to see everyone!

Krune soon found Ao, Arlan, Yusa, and...

​​

"Wait! Is that Joty?!"

Krune then immediately sent a Divine Sense message to everyone, and they soon gathered. Krune looked at Joty as if he was seeing a ghost. Considering the difficulty of the levels after the 90th floor, he didn't have much hope of seeing Joty arriving here.

"That's surprising, you really did pass the first test."

Joty seemed a little sad with that comment since it was evident that no one expected him to be on this level. But then again, he knows that they aren't wrong either. If not for that strange Energy Dot, he would definitely have been eliminated.

"I will explain it later after we leave this place."

Krune agreed with him since the situation seemed too strange at the moment. While Krune had spread his Divine Sense to find everyone, he also noticed that it reached the end of this floor on all sides. That meant that this 99th level is very small. Another thing is that he didn't find any door in his Divine Sense either.

Krune then looked at Ao's side and saw someone that he didn't know. But after checking the Moon Wolf, he was surprised! He could feel the power of the Tribulation Lightning inside Ula.

"And this is?"

Ao then introduced Ula to everyone.

"Oh, this is the female Moon Wolf Ula, and she joined us on the 98th floor. She can also use Tribulation Lightning just like you."

Ula's eyes had been fixed on Krune from the moment they approached each other. She also could feel the presence of the Tribulation Lightning inside Krune's wisp core. But what really surprised her was obviously, Krune's race!

"Are you a wisp?"

Krune confirmed.

"Yeap, is that a problem?"

Ula then asked with a surprised face.

"Can you really use Tribulation Lightning?"

She couldn't believe that a wisp could resist the Heavenly Tribulation and even retain the Tribulation Power within himself. Ao understood what she was thinking and then said.

"Cough, cough. You are underestimating Krune way too much, he is definitely strong too."

Ula was still somewhat doubtful, though. Suddenly, Ula used her own Tribulation Lightning movement and charged at Krune!

Ao and everyone else's face immediately changed! Ao tried to stop her Ula before she made a fool of herself, but it was too late. As for Yusa and everyone else? They just sighed and shook her heads. This Moon Wolf could only blame herself now.

Ula quickly approached Krune with arcs of purple lightning around her. She was definitely faster than Arlan or Ao. Unfortunately for her, Ula just had to use Tribulation Lightning in front of Krune. Just as she was about to land an attack at him, the Tribulation Lightning around her body disappeared! But she had no time to think about it since the wisp that was supposed to be in front of her disappeared as well!

Before she could even finish spreading her Divine Sense to look for him, she noticed that she couldn't move! For some inexplicable reason, the Tribulation Lightning power inside her body was restricting her own movements! It was then that she heard a voice come from her side.

"The worst decision of your life was to use Tribulation Lightning in front of me!"

Krune used an earth element attack and knocked Ula away. In fact, it looked like a simple first made with earth and Spiritual Energy and nothing more. Ula wasn't severely injured or anything. Still, she understood that she was only alive because Krune wished so. Otherwise, he could totally kill her! She couldn't believe it, not only is Krune able to use Tribulation Lightning, he can even control the Tribulation Lightning of others too!

"How did you do that?"

Krune heard that question and just chuckled.

"That's a secret, but I can tell you that probably no one at my level has better control over Tribulation Lightning than me!"

Krune used the word 'probably' because he isn't full of himself. A universe is a gigantic place! Who knows what he could find out there? Maybe someone also had a 'Light Spirit' of their own who could be even better at controlling this power than him. Of course, if Light Spirit had heard what Krune thought, he would definitely burst in a rage, saying that there isn't anyone like him.

Ula then calmed herself and stod up, the Tribulation Lightning in her body was back to normal, and she could use it again. Still, she now had a fearful impression of Krune, this isn't someone she can afford to offend! Ula then came in front of Krune and apologized.

"It was my mistake for judging you because of your race, I'm sorry."

For Krune, almost anything can be resolved with the right words, so obviously, he didn't mind Ula's actions anymore. Not to mention that he didn't feel any killing intent coming from her to start with. It was then that he received a Divine Sense message from Ao.

"She looks like a tough girl, but she has quite a soft heart, though."

Ao then explained what he had seen from her in the last two floors. Although she destroyed her opponents, she never did enough damage to kill anyone of them. Ao then explained how he decided to move with her and why. Which made Krune's impression of the Moon Wolf to improve a little more.

But there was one thing that Krune couldn't understand. In fact, no one else could either, not even Ao. It is the fact that Ula kept glued at Ao 100% of the time. In the end, she just said that Ao smelled good, but they didn't think that this could be a good reason for such behavior, Ao included. Krune then just sent a Divine Sense message to Ao asking him to be careful. They haven't known this Moon Wolf for long, after all. Who knows if she has some ulterior motives?

---

Time passed, and a few more battles here and there occurred because of several different reasons. Still, the majority kept quiet together with their own groups or alone in a corner in case of those who didn't have any friends in this place. Now and then, a new cultivator or demon beast appeared, and they usually were full of injuries. It was evident that those were the slots that had gone through several battles until a winner was found.

Around one hour and a half later, one last cultivator appeared, and the whole floor appearance changed. Suddenly, one enormous door appeared on the north side of the room, but surprisingly, no slots could be seen around. The cultivators and demon beasts were puzzled at what to do when suddenly, a voice reached everyone's ears.

"Congratulations on reaching the 99th floor! You might have already noticed, but for those who didn't, you better know that at the moment, the number of contestants is almost exactly 10% of the total that started the test."

Krune and a few others who had big enough Divine Senses had noticed that indeed.

"Now then, we had said that the best 10% to reach the top would pass the first test and proceed to the next, but we lied! There had never been a second test to start with. Everything would be decided inside the hundred floors tower! Well, if you wish, you can consider that next door as the second test, I don't mind."

The voice then continued.

"The reason we didn't say it at first was so that we could check whose of you would put the best effort even though it was still the first test. Of course, it doesn't mean that you will fail if you haven't. There are even a few of you that wouldn't be able to show everything you had since there wasn't any worthy opponent, after all. This was just something for us to have a better understanding of you."

Although it wasn't everyone, the majority was indeed not expecting it. Some even cursed themselves for having hold back so much. It was a good chance to show their good traits even more, but now it was too late. Still, it seems like the chance of joining the sect hasn't changed. The sect would probably use the results of this test to assign each cultivator or demon beast to a specific elder or something like that.

The elder then continued.

"Lastly, let's talk about the new door that you can see. We already have a good grasp of the majority's power, so we have no need for battles or competitions anymore. That door is called the pressure door, and it will do exactly as the name says. Pressure!"

"But the pressure we are talking about isn't the one generated by weight, gravity or anything like that, but by cultivation level! At the end of the door, there is one elder of the sect at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm. He will then release the pressure of his realm to suppress the cultivators and demon beasts that enter."

"The further you go, the higher your chance of passing the test. There is no need to worry about the cultivation difference between your opponents. In this Illusion Realm, we can guarantee that no one can do anything above the peak of the Foundation Establishment. Even those below it had their cultivations boosted to the peak as well."

"In the end, the pressure that everyone will receive is exactly the same, what is being tested in this door is nothing more than your will! If you lack a strong will, you shall fail. Otherwise, raise above your opponents and show what you are capable of!"

"Finally, once you enter the door, any attacks are prohibited! I said it before, we don't need to check your battle prowess anymore. As for the pressure released by our elder, you have no need to worry. He won't make it easier or harder for anyone. First, because he would be courting death to do that in front of Divine View and Divine Path Realm cultivators and demon beasts overseeing the test. Second, because he is inside of a formation that makes it impossible for him to distinguish the contestants outside even with his Divine Sense."

"Alright, I have said enough. The test will start in 10 minutes, so get ready!"

Those last words made quite a few contestants curse the elder inwardly. They had just come out of big fights and are in poor condition, how is it fair?! But before anyone could complain, the ground of the 99th started to shine! A second later, every single cultivator and demon beast was fully healed and not filling the least bit tired.

Only now they remembered, they are inside of an illusion realm! If the Divine Path Sect wishes it, they can be even brought back from death here. It is all an illusion, after all!
