Chapter 328 The Nine-Level Trial (Part 1)

"Damn it, at worst we'll just kill our way through this broken tower!" Feng Yu roared, staring at the boy with a ferocious expression.

"Don't be impulsive. That young man is clearly a cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while our realms have been suppressed to the early stage of the Golden Core realm by the Immortal Imprisonment Tower. Without knowing his specific combat strength, it's best not to act rashly."

Lin Yun remained calm and first offered his suggestion. Tian Xin then addressed Feng Yu and Lin Yun in a deep voice:

"This tower has nine floors. We don't know how strong the enemies on the upper floors will be. Even if the two seniors have extraordinary abilities, they should still consider the situation on the later floors under these circumstances."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Bai Ke, with his clear mind, understood the pattern of this trial mode, which was not much different from the level-based games in his previous life. He said with a serious expression:

"Since it's a team trial, the difficulty must be extremely high. To be on the safe side, we should assign roles for each person in the upcoming battle."

"That's excellent. My cultivation level has dropped, so I don't have many magic weapons that I can use. However, the array plate and the sword don't require much spiritual energy to activate, so they still have some destructive power."

Feng Yu was the first to report his current situation. Then Lin Yun said that his use of magic weapons was not affected and his combat power could be maintained at a level one level higher than his opponent's.

Tian Xin was in a worse situation. She already had few means of attack, and after her cultivation level was reduced to the early stage of the Golden Core realm, her spiritual power was also exhausted to the extreme. The only thing she could use was her long whip magic weapon.

After everyone had finished explaining their situations, Bai Ke pondered carefully for a moment before speaking:

"My physical strength is relatively strong and has not been reduced. In the battle, I will be responsible for holding the front line. Elder Feng and Elder Lin will be responsible for harassing the enemy from the flanks. As for Aunt Tian Xin... you can stay on the sidelines!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xin blushed slightly, but nodded solemnly, indicating that she would continue to pay attention to the battle and would do her best to react to any unexpected situations.

After the battle assignments were made, Bai Ke didn't hesitate any longer and rushed directly towards the dull-looking young man in the ancient Taoist robe, with Lin Yun and Feng Yu following closely behind.

In order to conserve their spiritual energy to deal with the enemies to come, they are now launching attacks purely with their physical strength.

In their view, this young man shouldn't be that strong; with only the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, Bai Ke alone could easily handle him.

But when Bai Ke rushed to the boy's attack range of fifty meters, the boy suddenly moved, as if he had been suddenly activated!

His face was expressionless, and his hands moved in a rapid series of cross-shaped movements, leaving behind afterimages of his fingers. In just a moment, he had formed over a hundred hand seals!

After completing the hand seals, he closed his eyes, opened his arms, and looked up at the sky. His ancient Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and his aura reached its peak. A huge circular phantom appeared behind him.

"Minor Wind and Thunder Technique," the boy murmured softly, his hand forming a magic seal.

His voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present. Bai Ke, who had already rushed to the boy's side, felt himself being suppressed for a moment by an obscure pressure, unable to move.

Lin Yun and Feng Yu behind him encountered the same situation. By the time they came to their senses, the boy had already opened his eyes and was looking at them with a cold smile.

The enormous circular phantom behind him suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of electricity, and a hurricane abruptly appeared. Arcs of electricity swept towards them along with the hurricane, and a terrifying pressure filled the space!

"Holy crap, this is the Nascent Soul stage? Even a Void Returning stage cultivator wouldn't make such a commotion!" Feng Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

He then quickly took out an array plate from his storage bag and threw it toward Tian Xin. The array plate was activated in mid-air, forming a cylindrical shield that enveloped and protected Tian Xin.

After taking protective measures, Feng Yu held the Yunmang Sword, gazed at the boy from afar, locked onto the position, and then slashed down hard with his sword.

A sword aura more than ten meters long condensed and, carrying a sharp sword intent, attacked the boy!

Upon seeing this, the young man sensed the powerful threat of the sword energy. The hand seal he was forming suddenly changed, and the hurricane that was crackling with countless arcs of electricity suddenly changed direction, turning to rush towards the sword light.

"Old Lin!" Bai Ke pointed to the incoming electric arc hurricane and shouted to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun understood immediately, and the Buddha Bell flew out of the storage bag, shooting upwards in conjunction with the sword energy of the wind jade, heading straight towards the electric arc hurricane!

The Amitabha Bell flew at an extremely high speed, and in an instant it made head-on contact with the powerful hurricane. The Buddhist mantras flowing around the Amitabha Bell ripped a large hole in the hurricane.

Bai Ke seized the opportunity and immediately rushed forward.

Immediately following, Feng Yu's sword energy roared in, directly shattering the hurricane. The electric arcs that were originally wrapped around the hurricane were now all attached to the sword energy, frantically eroding its power.

When the sword energy broke through the heavy abrasion of the electric arc and struck the boy, most of its power had been lost. The boy expressionlessly made a hand seal, and his whole body immediately exuded a powerful blood energy, forcefully withstanding the still powerful sword energy.

At the same time, Bai Ke successfully rushed to the boy's side.

He leaned close to the boy's body, bent his left leg slightly, bent his right arm inward, raised his right palm, and slammed it hard into the boy's heart!

This is the eighteenth move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms – The Dragon Regrets!

"Divine Protection Spell!" the boy shouted calmly.

He gave a disdainful smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, his soul body burst forth with dazzling golden light. Blood energy mixed with the golden light, forming a powerful defense that enveloped his entire body.

In the boy's eyes, with this boundless blood energy and the protection of defensive divine power, he could easily withstand not only the attack from the trial disciple who was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, but also the full-force attack from a cultivator at the early stage of the Returning Void realm.

With this in mind, the young man was fearless and even deliberately faced Bai Ke's attacking Kanglong Youhui Palm Technique with his chest exposed.

But when Bai Ke's palm truly touched the boy's soul and body, the boy was shocked and instantly felt a tremor from the very source of his soul!

With a loud "bang," Bai Ke's palm broke through the boy's defenses with overwhelming force and landed hard on the boy's heart.

The boy had an incredulous expression on his face as his sturdy soul body was shattered into countless fragments by this palm strike!

Bai Ke immediately took out the Soul Devouring Token and collected these pure soul fragments.

With the boy's death, that solemn and dignified voice once again echoed within the Immortal Imprisonment Tower:

"The four-person trial team has successfully passed the first level. Please proceed to the second level to claim your rewards..."
