Chapter 330 The Nine-Level Trial (Part 2)

The rewards for the third floor of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower were the same as those for the second floor, except that the quality of all items had been increased by one tier. The rewards were distributed among the participants according to the previous distribution method.

The next enemy to appear was a middle-aged man dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, whose cultivation level was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Lin Yun defeated him again by self-destructing his magic weapon.

The enemy on the fourth floor turned into an old man in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm dressed in simple clothes. Lin Yun used his magic weapon to self-destruct but failed to kill him. In the end, Feng Yu finished him off with a sword move.

The number of enemies on the fifth floor suddenly increased. The teenagers, young men, middle-aged men, and old men who had appeared before all appeared at the same time, making the scene very strange.

After Lin Yun and Feng Yu worked together to kill the old man, they then joined forces with Bai Ke to defeat the remaining three one by one. At this point, the group was still able to handle the battle with relative ease.

When they reached the sixth level, there was only one enemy, and it was the same boy who had appeared on the first level. However, the group encountered trouble because the boy's cultivation level had surged to the mid-Nascent Soul stage!

Lin Yun used the same trick again, but the self-destruction of the magic weapon only caused the boy some minor injuries. The blood energy that erupted from the boy and the golden light shield activated by the Divine Protection Spell offset most of the damage from the self-destruction of the magic weapon!

The group, with their early-stage Golden Core strength, fought against him despite being two major realms above him. Although they used a variety of methods, the gap in their cultivation levels was too great to overcome, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

After the battle reached its climax, Bai Ke had to expend a large amount of spiritual power to activate the Blood Qi Nine Transformations and unleash a Blood Refining Explosion to kill him.

By the time they reached the seventh floor, the group, having figured out the pattern, had roughly guessed that the enemy had indeed become that young man again, and his cultivation level had also skyrocketed to the late-stage Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm!

The self-destruction of the magic weapon was now useless against him. After taking the Qi-replenishing pill, Bai Ke's spiritual power returned to its peak. He unleashed a powerful Blood Refining Explosion, but it only managed to seriously injure the young man.

Left with no other choice, Feng Yu and Lin Yun had to hold off the young man while Bai Ke took the opportunity to consume a Qi-replenishing pill to restore his spiritual energy and unleash another Blood Refining Explosion to kill him.

The group arrived at the eighth floor.

As expected, the enemy was the middle-aged man who had appeared before. At this moment, his cultivation level had skyrocketed to the terrifying early stage of the Returning to Emptiness realm!

"What are we going to do? There's a three-fold difference in cultivation level. The self-destruction of magic weapons is completely useless. Even if that brat uses his super-powerful ultimate move, throwing blood phlegm, I'm afraid it won't be able to break through his defenses..." Feng Yu said worriedly.

"What do you mean by 'throwing bloody spit'? Aren't you disgusting? That move is called Blood Refining Explosion, don't shout nonsense!"

Bai Ke rolled his eyes at Feng Yu, then looked at the middle-aged man who was eyeing him menacingly in the distance with a worried expression, unable to come up with any good solutions for the moment.

"I do have a way, but the price is a bit high. Besides, once we get past this level, the next one won't be so easy." Lin Yun's voice trembled slightly as he pulled out the Buddha Bell from his storage bag...

"Good heavens, is it really necessary to be so wasteful? It's a Heaven-Rank magic treasure! If you blow it up, those old bald monks from Thousand Buddha Temple will come after you to your death!" Feng Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"This is the only way that works right now. If you're reluctant to part with it, then give me your Ten Directions Array. Otherwise, stop pointing fingers!" Lin Yun said angrily.

Upon hearing the mention of the Ten Directions Array, Feng Yu immediately wilted, clearly indicating that this was his Achilles' heel. It was unclear just how powerful the array was, that it caused even the old man Feng Yu such pain.

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's use the Buddha Bell as the container for the magic weapon's self-destruction. Don't let this get out afterward, or the Thousand Buddha Temple will come after me."

After Lin Yun finished speaking in a deep voice, he immediately threw the Buddha Bell at the middle-aged man in the distance. Just like before, the Buddha Bell suddenly burst into dazzling golden light when it was fifty meters away from the middle-aged man.

It disintegrated in the blink of an eye, and the violent and surging energy suddenly exploded in this space!

Because of her low cultivation level, Tian Xin was almost blown away by the powerful shockwave of the explosion. Fortunately, Bai Ke reacted quickly and grabbed her, preventing her from being in a sorry state.

The middle-aged man caught in the explosion of the magical artifact was not so lucky. He only had time to move his feet slightly before he was hit head-on by the powerful energy.

The immense explosive power even created a pitch-black spatial black hole!

A raging energy storm raged within the black hole, roaring incessantly and radiating its own suction force with frenzied force. Nothing that was sucked into it escaped unscathed; everything was annihilated within this earth-shattering explosion of the black hole.

The middle-aged man's final fate was, of course, to be reduced to ashes; Bai Ke was even unable to use the Soul Devouring Token to absorb his soul power.

That's the powerful energy of the early stage of the Void Returning Realm! If converted into spiritual power, it would be enough for Bai Ke to directly break through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This made him involuntarily beat his chest and stamp his feet, his face full of "heartache".

Having successfully passed the eighth level, the solemn and majestic voice within the Immortal Imprisonment Tower began to resonate with a hint of excitement, as if it too was marveling at everyone's achievements along the way.

However, the group did not find much comfort. The thought of the ninth level, the highest level, filled them with gloom.

“Let’s go, we have to face this eventually. Once we break through the ninth floor, we can get out.” Lin Yun broke the silence first.

"Let's go! I hope the legendary treasure of Miaoyu Valley is really inside the Immortal Imprisonment Tower. If so, I'll truly be rich..."

Feng Yu's mouth watered at the thought of the treasure he had been dreaming of.

Seeing his embarrassing state, Tian Xin couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

The atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.

With this momentum, the group ascended the stairs to the ninth floor.

But after reaching the ninth floor, only one of the four tables that should have been displaying the rewards remained.

On the table standing alone in the hall was a long, rectangular jade box.

Upon seeing the jade box, Lin Yun immediately jumped up excitedly and rushed forward to open it.

Suddenly, a melodious sword cry rang out, echoing continuously throughout the space of the ninth floor.

Everyone felt as if something sharp was pressing against their bodies. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the source of this sensation was a precious sword inside the long jade box!

The sword is about one meter long, and its body shimmers with a crystal-clear light, making it look more like a work of art than a weapon.

"The Divine Sword of Wonderful Jade! Hahaha! It really is here!" Feng Yu grabbed the longsword and shouted excitedly.

But this also summoned the enemy from the ninth floor, and sure enough, it was that old man!

But his cultivation level... was actually at the early stage of Mahayana!
