Chapter 274: #The Eternal Seekers
This took place in the timeline where Yu Il-Shin was defeated by the Ant Emperor during the Hunter War, and both Antrinia and Earth were destroyed.
[The Forty-Sixth Floor of Tower of Warriors: Trial of Void.]
The catatonic Yi-Ho wandered in the seemingly endless void. How long had he been here? A hundred years? Two hundred years? Five hundred years? Or perhaps even longer?

However, that was nothing but pure arrogance. The only reason Yi-Ho was faster was because he’d reached the level of a master before entering the tower.
Yi-Ho got stuck at the Trial of Void. At first, he did everything to escape this place. He trained until he could feel himself collapsing, meditated to seek enlightenment, and even went as far as to tear his flesh with his own hands—but to no avail.

“One hundred billion and one, one hundred billion and two...”
Despite looking like a mummy that was ready to crumble at any moment, Il-Ho didn’t stop swinging his dumbbell sword.
Il-Ho...
