"What?
It's actually a Yuan Energy ball. This is something that could be considered a treasure even in ancient times!
It actually appeared in Nether Castle? "
"As expected of the inside of the Essence Tower, there are opportunities everywhere. I can't believe I can encounter such a treasure in this training ground."
"…"
Everyone in the hall immediately started discussing as they stared fixedly at the ball of light in the center of the hall. Something like a Yuan Energy ball was extremely tempting to any cultivator.
"Kid!
There's an extremely powerful restriction on the surface of this ball of light. It's best if you don't get too close. "
When Zhuowen's gaze converged on the ball of light, Xiao Hei's voice slowly rang out in his mind. Immediately, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed into slits because he actually did not detect any trace of restriction on the surface of the ball of light.
"This Yuan Energy ball belongs to me, Pang Tong. Haha!"
Finally, someone could no longer hold back. The first person to make a move was the captain of Thunder Universe City, Pang Tong. Pang Tong's eyes were filled with passion as he stared at the ball of light. His feet suddenly stomped on the ground as his speed soared to the extreme. In an instant, he arrived on the surface of the ball of light.
"Damn it!
Pang Tong, stop right there. "
Feng Long did not expect Pang Tong to be so fast. At first, he was stunned. Then, a trace of anger appeared on his face as he pushed his speed to the extreme and chased after Pang Tong.
"Feng Long!
Although you're stronger than me, I'm afraid that you might not be faster than me in terms of speed. Therefore, this Yuan Energy ball is destined to be mine. "
Pang Tong laughed as he increased his speed once again. He practically formed an afterimage in the air as he instantly pulled a small distance away from Feng Long. This caused Feng Long to be somewhat flustered and exasperated.
The only person in the hall who could still be considered calm was Zhuowen. At this moment, a trace of schadenfreude appeared on Zhuowen's face. He had never doubted Xiao Hei's judgment. Therefore, Zhuowen, who stood out, was likely to suffer a calamity!
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Pang Tong was already within reach of the glowing ball. He could directly touch the glowing ball if he extended his hand. The smile on Pang Tong's face became even more brilliant. He knew that if he obtained this Yuan Power ball and completely refined the rich Yuan Power within it, his strength would soar by leaps and bounds. It would not be much of a problem for him to catch up to Feng Long.
Filled with excitement and joy, Pang Tong's right hand reached into the sphere of light. At that moment, the smile on his face froze and his rosy cheeks turned incomparably dark.
Bang!
The ball of light suddenly trembled, and an extremely vast force immediately rebounded from the ball of light, violently slamming into Pang Tong's body.
Puchi!
A mouthful of blood immediately spurted out as Pang Tong flew backwards in an extremely miserable manner. He slid on the ground for several dozen meters before finally slamming into one of the stone pillars in the hall. His entire body was embedded within the stone pillar.
Hiss!
Everyone in the hall sucked in a breath of cold air. They had clearly checked the surface of the glowing ball and there were no restrictions, so why was Pang Tong directly repelled when he came into contact with the glowing ball?
At this moment, Feng Long had already arrived before the glowing ball. However, due to Pang Tong's experience, Feng Long had become extremely cautious. His right hand gently touched the surface of the glowing ball. The moment his right hand came into contact with the glowing ball, he could feel an extremely terrifying force constantly obstructing his right hand.
"How strange. He actually placed a restriction in the glowing ball. No wonder I was unable to detect any traces of a restriction in the beginning." Withdrawing his right hand, Feng Long gently took a few steps back. His gaze was rather strange as he muttered to himself.
"Looks like brother Pang's luck isn't too good!"
With that, Feng Long's gaze turned and immediately focused on Pang Tong, who was struggling to get up from the stone pillar.
On the stone pillar, Pang Tong, who had just been helped up by two of his subordinates, could not help but spit out another mouthful of blood when he heard Feng Long's mocking words. He viciously glared at Feng Long before silently walking to the side and sitting down to heal.
Chi!
At the same time, the light in the glowing ball suddenly trembled, revealing a rather delicate and pretty face of a youth. He had black hair and red eyes. He was dressed in formal attire and had ink-black lips. He appeared gloomy and strange.
"Welcome to the Netherworld Castle!
I wonder if everyone was satisfied with the welcome gift just now? "The scarlet-eyed youth placed his right hand on his chest and elegantly lowered his head as he grinned.
Hearing the profound words of the scarlet-eyed youth, Pang Tong, who was still silently recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes. His beast-like eyes stared straight at the youth's figure in the ball of light. He knew that the mystery behind the ball of elemental energy was definitely caused by this fellow.
"You are the Netherworld King?" Feng Long looked at the youth in the glowing ball and calmly asked.
"Hehe!
That's me. Furthermore, I also know that you risked your lives to enter the training grounds. I'm afraid it's for the Holy City's power, right?
However, I can regretfully tell you that you will not be able to obtain the Holy City's power because it has already been obtained by me! "
The scarlet-eyed youth laughed sinisterly. He waved his right hand and a small golden city appeared in his palm. This small golden city looked like the Holy City.
"The Holy City's power?"
Everyone in the hall could not help but exclaim when they saw the miniature golden city in the youth's palm. Back in the sacred hall, Alice had already told everyone what the Holy City's power looked like. Therefore, everyone immediately recognized the miniature golden city when they saw it.
Zhuowen suddenly took a step forward. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at the Netherworld King in the glowing ball and said coldly, "As long as I kill you, the Holy City's power will naturally belong to me. Do you think that we can't kill you?"
"Kill me?
Brat, aren't you being a little too arrogant?!
I am immortal here. Regardless of whether it's Alyss or you, it's impossible for you to kill me!
Moreover, all of you will become my toys. Hehe! "The Netherworld King laughed coldly.
"The arrogant person should be you. There's nothing in this world that is immortal. As long as one's power reaches a certain level, anything can be destroyed. It's the same for you, Netherworld King!" Zhuowen said indifferently.
The Netherworld King's eyes immediately turned cold. He glared at Zhuowen and said, "Brat, I've left a deep impression on you.
You're quite powerful to be able to destroy the mother nest's magma all by yourself. However, if you think that you can defeat me like that, hehe, you're far too naive.
In order to reward you for your spectacular performance in the mother nest's magma, I've decided to add you to my collection. You should know that not just anyone can be added to my collection! "
Everyone in the hall looked at Zhuowen strangely when they heard what the Netherworld King said. They had guessed that Zhuowen had passed through the mother nest's magma. They had always thought that Zhuowen and the other two had entered the trial and that Zhuowen had only survived the mother nest's magma after losing the other two.
However, from the Netherworld King's words, it seemed like Zhuowen had entered the trial alone and destroyed the mother nest's magma with his own strength. That was how he had passed through the mother nest's magma.
Everyone looked at Zhuowen in shock when they thought of that. After going through the mother nest's magma, they knew very well just how dangerous and difficult it was. Even their team of eight had to lose a few people before they could pass through the mother nest's magma.
It was easy to imagine how difficult it was for someone to pass through the mother nest's magma alone. Even Feng Long could not guarantee that he could pass through the mother nest's magma successfully, but Zhuowen had done it.
Feng Long's brows furrowed slightly. He knew that if it were him alone, even he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure.
Thinking of this, Feng Long stared at Zhuowen with a complicated look. He thought to himself, 'Could it be that Zhuowen has been hiding his strength all this time?'
Zhuowen knew that things were not going well. He did not want to expose his strength completely yet, so he pretended to be calm and said, "I was just lucky. I just happened to have a move that can deal with groups. That's why I showed a certain advantage when I passed through the mother nest's magma."
Zhuo Wen didn't say this for the Underworld King. Instead, he said it to Feng Long and the others. Therefore, Zhuo Wen raised his voice slightly.
When Feng Long and the others heard this, they immediately felt relieved. They secretly praised Zhuowen's luck. He actually had a move that could deal with groups. It should be known that a move that was suitable for group battles was extremely powerful. With such a move, it would be relatively easy to deal with the large number of evil creature larvae in the mother nest's magma.
"But even so, I still admire Brother Zhuowen's strength. After all, we have personally experienced how powerful the mother nest's magma is. Although you have a move that can deal with groups, it's still very impressive that you can pass through it alone."
Feng Long cupped his hands politely at Zhuowen at this time. His sharp eyes were fixed on the latter. He always felt that Zhuowen in front of him gave him an unfathomable feeling. In his heart, he began to secretly regard Zhuowen as his biggest opponent on this trip to the Sandstone Island.
"Brother Feng, you're too polite. I'm not as strong as you think!
Besides, now is not the time to talk about this. We should be thinking about how to deal with the Netherworld King and seize the Holy City's power! "Zhuowen shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Feng Long nodded in agreement. After all, the Holy City's power had not been obtained yet. There was no conflict of interest between the two of them. He did not need to go against Zhuowen so early.
Thinking of this, Feng Long's gaze shifted slightly. The scarlet-eyed young man gathered in the light ball in the center of the hall said, "Netherworld King!
Do you dare to fight with us? "
As soon as Feng Long said this, the others in the hall also fixed their gazes on the Netherworld King, who was in the light ball, waiting for his answer.
"Fight with you?
Tsk tsk, you think too highly of yourselves!
Who do you think I am? Who do you think you are?
Do you think a bunch of motley crew like you are qualified to fight with me? "The Netherworld King sneered.
"So you're afraid?" Zhuowen suddenly sneered.
