Chapter 502

Zhongling Mountain

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless air-piercing sounds could be heard. Soon, the originally crowded platform became extremely deserted. Lv Yitao slowly stood up at the center of the bottom of the Worldly Monolith and said indifferently, "Let's go too!

If nothing unexpected happens, the five inheritances on the fourth floor should belong to the five of us. "

Upon hearing this, Luo Xing, Qin Batian, Xu Tianliang and Zhu Chi nodded their heads. Geniuses like them were participating in the Yuan Energy Tower battle precisely for the ancient inheritance on the fourth floor. As for the third floor, it might be extremely difficult for others, but for the five of them, it was a piece of cake.

Whoosh!

Lv Yitao stomped his foot and directly entered the white staircase. From the beginning to the end, he did not even glance at Zhuowen who was trapped in the huge black egg. With his strength and achievements, only the other four great geniuses could catch his eye.

Although Zhuowen was in the limelight, in his eyes, it was just a flash in the pan. He didn't treat Zhuowen as an opponent at all because in his eyes, Zhuowen wasn't even qualified to be his opponent.

Following Lv Yitao's departure, Luo Xing's group of four looked at each other and nodded. They executed their movement techniques and followed the white staircase to enter the third level of the Origin Qi Tower.

At this point, all the geniuses on the platform had entered the white staircase. The only one who hadn't entered was Zhuowen, who was still trapped in the black egg.

On the platform, Lü Nantian and the other faction leaders silently looked at the huge black egg in the center. They sighed in their hearts. No one had expected that Zhuowen, the rising star, would fall here.

Among them, Lü Nantian was the most helpless one. Originally, he planned to pay a sufficient price to get Zhuowen into the House of Marquis Qin. However, now that something like this had happened, he was afraid that Zhuowen would not be able to survive.

"The ancient seal on the third floor of the tower is even stronger than the second floor. Without an identity token, if we enter the third floor, our strength will be suppressed to an extremely terrifying level. We might even suffer a backlash from the seal, so let's wait here for the result!"

After that, Lü Nantian waved his right hand. The Sky and Earth Tablet that stood in the middle of the platform suddenly shattered. Countless rays of golden light shot out from the shattered tablet, filling the sky with golden light. It was as if the entire sky had been plated with a layer of gold.

Soon after, everyone discovered that as the golden light flowed, a blurry image gradually appeared within it. However, as the golden light swiftly flowed, the image also became increasingly clear.

In the center of the screen was a tall mountain whose peak could not be seen. At a glance, one could only see the mountainside of the mountain. This was because above the mountainside, there was a strange black fog. Even someone as strong as Lü Nantian could not see through the fog.

In front of the mountain, there was also a huge square. At the end of the square was a white staircase to heaven. At this moment, countless geniuses had already gathered in the square like a swarm of locusts. Moreover, there was an endless stream of cultivators behind them.

"This mountain is called Zhong Ling Mountain. It is a Royal Tier Spirit Treasure. It is said that it was left behind by an Emperor Realm expert in ancient times. It is specially used to suppress the terrifying beasts below Zhong Ling Mountain."

Lü Nantian's voice mightily resounded between heaven and earth. Through the void, it also spread to the third floor, so the geniuses in the screen could also hear it.

When Lü Nantian mentioned that Zhong Ling Mountain was actually a Royal Tier Spirit Treasure, a terrifying uproar suddenly erupted from the crowd.

One had to know that above Earthly Tier Spirit Treasures were Heavenly Tier Spirit Treasures, and above Heavenly Tier Spirit Treasures were mighty Royal Tier Spirit Treasures. Even Lü Nantian, the number one expert of Muqin County, did not possess such a treasure. Perhaps only the Imperial Family of the Qing Xuan Empire could possess such a treasure.

"Zhong Ling Mountain has a thousand staircases, and each staircase leads directly to the peak. There is a pressure in the mountain that surrounds the entire mountain. From the inside to the outside, the higher you go, the stronger the pressure is."

"The rules are very simple. Everyone can choose a staircase and climb it. There is no time limit. The final number of steps you have climbed will be ranked in order. The top 655 will obtain the qualifications to enter the fourth floor of the Vitality Tower!"

As he spoke, Lü Nantian waved his right hand. The white fog that originally lingered at the bottom of Zhong Ling Mountain immediately dispersed, revealing a winding path. At the end of the path were layers upon layers of stairs.

"Your identity token is an important item. It is the key to enter and exit the Vitality Tower!

If you are unable to withstand the pressure in Zhong Ling Mountain, feel free to crush your identity token. At that time, you will be teleported out by the power of the Vitality Tower.

Now, the trial of the third floor has officially begun. If you are able to enter the fourth floor and obtain the ancient inheritance, this is your only chance. "

As soon as Lü Nantian's words left his mouth, there was a commotion in the square on the screen. Five terrifying auras suddenly burst out from the square. Following that, five figures with powerful auras instantly chose one of the paths and directly ascended the stairs.

These five people were the five geniuses, Lv Yitao, Luo Xing, Qin Batian, Qin Nie, and Zhu Chi. As the five geniuses took the lead and entered, the other warriors in the square went crazy. They all chose an uninhabited path and quickly entered Zhong Ling Mountain.

At the bottom of Zhong Ling Mountain, as long as someone chose a path, it would basically be covered by fog again. This meant that this path had already been chosen by someone, obstructing the other warriors. Therefore, the other warriors that entered Zhong Ling Mountain would not take the same path.

When all the warriors in the screen had entered Zhong Ling Mountain, the screen suddenly shattered, once again transforming into an endless golden light. The golden light frantically condensed in the air, finally transforming into a giant golden tower.

The giant golden tower held up the heavens and shook the earth. It had a total of a thousand levels and was covered with golden words. Every level had golden words. If one looked carefully, the golden words on every level were the name of a warrior.

First place, Lv Yitao, 650 steps.

Second place, Luo Xing, 40 steps.

Third place, Zhu Chi, 45 steps.

Fourth place, Qin Batian, 35 steps.

Fifth place, Xu Tianliang, 24 steps.

Sixth place, Ling Wushuang, 06 steps.

…

650th place, Qing Lian, 85 steps.

…

6555th place, Zhuowen, 5 steps.

Although there were at least a few steps that overlapped when a thousand warriors entered, the Golden Pagoda had the ability to automatically determine the strength of the warriors. After combining their strengths, the Golden Pagoda was able to accurately rank the warriors on the same steps.

"First place is indeed Lv Yitao. It hasn't been long, but he's already reached 650 steps. No wonder he's the number one genius of the House of Marquis Qin."

"The five great geniuses are indeed far ahead of the other geniuses. The difference between them and the other geniuses is quite obvious!

In just a short while, the five of them are far ahead of the other warriors behind them. "

"That's right!

Lv Yitao, Luo Xing, Qin Batian, Xu Tianliang and Zhu Chi are simply too strong. Out of the thousand geniuses, how many people can compare to these five?

I'm afraid that only Ling Tian City's number one genius, Ling Wushuang, might be able to keep up with the five of them! "

"Actually, there's one more person who's not inferior to Ling Wushuang. It's that Zhuowen. With his Mental Energy at the peak of the fourth grade, he's probably even stronger than Ling Wushuang. It's a pity that he died under the sneak attack of the Limitless Elder."

"… …"

When the people on the platform mentioned Zhuowen, they couldn't help but look towards the black egg not far away. Then, they all shook their heads. They knew that Zhuowen really didn't have a chance to enter the third level of the Origin Qi Tower. Perhaps he had already died!

Gu Yue Tian's expression was extremely dispirited at this moment. He silently stared at the black egg with a bitter smile on his face …

"Where is this place?

Why is it so dark? "

Slowly waking up, Zhuowen stared at the pitch-black environment around him. His face was full of confusion. He remembered that he was being chased by the Limitless Elder. After seeing the Limitless Elder use a strange black talisman, he fell into darkness. He didn't remember what happened next at all.

"Boy!

You're in a bad situation now! "

Suddenly, a tired voice sounded in his ears. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Hei standing on his shoulder with a tired face. At this moment, Xiao Hei's claws were constantly releasing ink-black energy. This energy formed a black barrier around Zhuowen's body.

"This is … …"

At this moment, Zhuowen discovered that outside the black barrier, there were actually countless human faces flashing. The faces were ferocious and terrifying. They bared their fangs and mournful wails and howls constantly sounded in his ears.

"These are vengeful spirits. In order to kill you, the Limitless Elder even used the 'Vengeful Ghost Curse Talisman'. This strange talisman is refined from hundreds of millions of vengeful spirits and countless Yin Qi. It's extremely vicious. With your strength, it's very difficult to resist the attacks of these vengeful spirits."

While waving her little claws to maintain the black barrier, Xiao Hei's face was full of fatigue as she explained.

Seeing Xiao Hei like this, Zhuowen also knew that it was Xiao Hei who blocked the attacks of these vengeful spirits for him while he was unconscious. His face couldn't help but reveal a moved expression.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuowen calmly said, "Xiao Hei, how long have I been unconscious?"

"Two days. These two days have been torture for this lord!

However, the 'Vengeful Ghost Curse Talisman' has a time limit as well. As long as you can hold on for three days, these vengeful spirits will disperse on their own, "Xiao Hei said in a deep voice.

Crack!

A clear voice suddenly sounded while Little Black was speaking. Immediately, Zhuo Wen's pupils shrunk as he discovered that the surface of the black barrier around him had begun to be covered with cracks. The ferocious vengeful spirits outside had become even crazier as they tirelessly bombarded the black barrier.

"Kid!

This lord can't hold on any longer. My origin energy is pretty much depleted. In ten more breaths, I'll fall into a deep sleep. You can only rely on yourself for the rest!

As long as you can hold on for a day, the power of the 'Vengeful Ghost Curse Talisman' will disperse on its own and you will be saved. "

Xiao Hei's voice became even deeper and more tired. With a swish, she turned into a black streak of light and disappeared into the depths of Zhuowen's forehead. On the other hand, Zhuowen's face was extremely grave as he fearfully stared at the countless vengeful spirits outside the barrier.

Bang!
