Chapter 1113
The aura of the Third Layer Heaven Realm was very unusual and made people feel dangerous.
The Heavenly Beasts here were much stronger and more dangerous than the previous two layers.
However, there were almost no weaklings who could successfully reach the third layer. As for Rogue Cultivators, there were even fewer. Every time they set out, they formed a team, so under everyone's joint efforts, the Heavenly Beasts were killed one by one.
At the same time, everyone's thoughts were all on the mysterious castle. If they found it early, there was still hope for them to obtain it.
The Spirit Devouring Rat showed everyone its keen sense of treasure hunting. As a result, as the Spirit Devouring Rat moved forward, there would always be some cultivators following behind it, either in the open or in the dark. Wherever the Spirit Devouring Rat passed, they would release energy attacks.
"Idiots."
Seeing the despicable actions of the people behind it, the Spirit Devouring Rat's face showed a disdainful expression. After cursing inwardly, it sped up.
In the Third Layer Heaven Realm, killing Heavenly Beasts was secondary. Most people were concerned about the castle, but according to the experience of the previous two layers, the journey to find the castle would be very time-consuming.
Because even the Spirit Devouring Rat, who was a natural treasure hunter, was not sure if it could find it in a short time, let alone others. So in the entire Third Layer Heaven Realm, although many people were looking for the castle, they were relatively not in a hurry.
Zi Chen and the others also entered the Third Layer Heaven Realm after a long time.
However, a strange change happened when everyone stepped into the Third Layer Heaven Realm.
In this world, a hurricane suddenly appeared. This hurricane was like a tornado, raging from one end of the world to the other.
The appearance of the storm caused the entire world to shake, as if it was welcoming a great earthquake, rumbling.
The Spirit Qi in the world became extremely chaotic, and spatial cracks appeared in the sky. Some of the powerhouses in the sky were instantly torn apart by the cracks, dying before they could even scream.
An oppressive and dangerous aura filled the entire world, as if a peerless evil was about to appear.
Then, a loud cry resounded in this world, and a flame ripple appeared from the depths of this world, spreading to the outer world.
Zi Chen and the others were very familiar with this flame ripple. In the past, when the Everlasting Sect was in danger, this flame ripple appeared and killed several Earth Origin Realm cultivators, saving the Everlasting Sect.
At that time, a similar powerful cry resounded in the world.
A loud and powerful cry rang out, and the expressions of the two Demon Lords in the void immediately changed.
The faces of the prince and the devil beside him were incomparably pale. There was a strong vibration force in the cry just now. The two of them were in the void, and their souls were almost destroyed. The prince looked at the devil and asked, "What a terrifying sound. What is it?"
"This voice has never sounded when we were sealed. It only appeared once recently, and this is the second time. I think it should be the Saint's pet. After so many years, it was revived because it was extraordinary. Of course, it could also be that it broke the seal," the Demon Lord said in a low voice.
"Then do you have the confidence to deal with the Demon Sovereign?"
The Demon Lord shook his head. "I'm not sure. We only fought with a Saint back then and were sealed by him. As for that pet, its strength shouldn't exceed a Saint's. However, judging from its loud voice, I wonder how much of its strength it has recovered."
"Then what should we do?" The prince looked worried.
A cold light flashed across the Demon Lord's face. He said coldly, "If we want to control this place, we have to kill this pet. Now that things have come to this, we can only kill everyone here and use their essence blood to recover our strength."
"At first, I wanted to watch the show slowly. Now that the Saint's pet has been revived, we don't have much time. Let the castle appear in advance."
With that, the Demon Lord waved his sleeves forward.
The flame ripples spread out into the distance and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. The whole world fell into silence again, but the oppressive aura from before became stronger.
The change happened in the depths. As the change stopped, everyone looked toward the depths. After a slight hesitation, they flew toward the depths.
"Zi Chen, the castle suddenly appeared for some reason." As soon as the flame ripples disappeared, the Spirit Devouring Rat sent a message.
Zi Chen's expression changed when he heard it.
"What happened?" Everyone saw the change in Zi Chen's expression.
"The castle on this level suddenly appeared," Zi Chen said, his expression uncertain. No one knew what he was thinking.
"What, the castle suddenly appeared? Then let's go quickly. What are you still standing here for?"
Perfect Body, who was with Zi Chen, shouted. Then, he put away his folding fan and rushed to the castle as fast as he could.
"Why did the castle suddenly appear?" Zhang Haotian asked with a frown.
Zi Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Then, are we going?" Seeing Zi Chen not moving, the Demon Ape asked.
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I keep feeling that something is wrong. It seems that we have overlooked something."
"Overlooked something."
"I'm not sure. Mengyao, you calculate."
Hearing that the castle suddenly appeared, Su Mengyao began to deduce, but the road ahead was chaotic and she couldn't deduce anything at all.
After a while, she shook her head and said nothing.
"Let's go. No matter what we have overlooked, we have to take a look first."
The group walked toward the depths.
After the change, the castle suddenly appeared in this world. Moreover, the castle that appeared this time didn't even have a restriction outside.
Any random cultivator would be able to easily push open the ancient castle.
"It's opened, it's actually opened. It's the same as the original castle." The one who pushed open the castle's door was a monster. He shouted excitedly.
"Yes, it's exactly the same castle."
"I didn't expect that we would be the first to discover the castle. This is our opportunity. Let's hurry in and search for treasures before Zi Chen and the others arrive."
"Yes, let's go in quickly."
This was a small team of monsters. There were a total of eight people. Looking at the castle in front of them, their expressions became extremely excited.
At this moment, they were so excited that they didn't know that there was a person in the distance. To be precise, a Spirit Devouring Rat was coldly looking at them.
Seeing the eight of them carefully enter the castle, the Spirit Devouring Rat said indifferently, "I wonder how long you can last."
The eight of them entered one after another. The first person took three steps and his body suddenly exploded, turning into a broken corpse.
"Bang."
Immediately after, the second person also took three steps and his body directly exploded.
What happened next was like a chain reaction. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The eight demons who had entered the ancient castle all exploded and died.
Their broken corpses scattered in the castle, and blood stained the castle's ground red. But in the next moment, these broken corpses began to burn, and the castle's door that had just been opened automatically closed.
Seeing the eight people die one after another, the Spirit Devouring Rat said coldly, "The third wave."
The sound of breaking air rang out again, and another group of cultivators arrived. Seeing the lonely castle in front of them, they were stunned, and then their faces were filled with excitement.
After sending a voice transmission to their families, they landed in front of the castle and easily pushed it open.
"It's the same as the previous castle. I've seen it before."
"I didn't expect that we would be the first to arrive. This is our opportunity. Let's go in quickly."
It was almost the same conversation as before. Then, this small team carefully entered the castle. In less than five steps, their bodies exploded.
After all of them died, the castle's door closed again.
"The fourth wave."
The Spirit Devouring Rat calculated indifferently.
After a moment, it said again, "The fifth wave."
After the death of the five waves of cultivators, the sound of breaking air became much more intense. Many cultivators were rushing over.
The sixth wave of cultivators died in front of the Spirit Devouring Rat, but their corpses did not disappear. There were no flames on the ground, and the castle's door did not close again.
Soon after, many cultivators arrived and gathered outside the castle's door.
"Dead, they're all dead."
After they arrived, the flames that hadn't appeared before appeared again. Then, they burned the corpses, and the ground became clean again.
"It seems that the difficulty this time is a bit high. The people who sent us the message are all dead."
The people of the various factions guessed that their subordinates had died, but they didn't care much. In this place, it was normal for a few people to die.
They looked around and didn't see Zi Chen. Their hearts were at ease, and there was almost no need for discussion. They led their people into the castle.
Everyone had the same idea in their hearts, and that was to take advantage of Zi Chen's absence to quickly enter the castle and take the token that controlled the castle.
Everyone began to move forward. The Spirit Devouring Rat hid in the distance and quietly watched this scene, watching them easily take more than ten steps.
The Spirit Devouring Rat, who was originally suspicious of the castle, was now even more certain that there was something strange about the castle. This was because the previous six waves of people had not taken more than five steps, but now, most of them had taken more than ten steps.
"Bang."
A moment later, someone had already taken more than twenty steps. Only then did an explosion sound come out. It was the body of a cultivator who had taken more than ten steps that exploded.
The crowd didn't care about this explosion. At this moment, they all gritted their teeth and tried to walk to the front of the hall.
"Bang."
After a few breaths, the explosion sounded again.
A few breaths of time, a few breaths of time, the number of cultivators entering the castle gradually decreased.
As the number of deaths gradually increased, there were also some people who were about to reach the end and reach the main hall.
This looked like a real test. Those who died were all weak, but for some reason, the Spirit Devouring Rat had an uneasy feeling in its heart.
This uneasiness was as if someone was controlling the castle. Whoever he wanted to die would die.
The leader of a faction finally approached the main hall. He took a step up the stairs and passed the test. Then, he exhaled heavily and his expression became extremely excited.
This was because he was the first person to arrive at the main hall. Behind him, the explosions continued, much more frequent than before.
However, he had already arrived here, so he didn't care how many people died. As for the people behind him, because they saw someone successfully walk to the front of the hall, they naturally had to give it a try.
The leader of the faction walked up the stairs and came to the door of the hall. Without hesitation, he pushed open the door.
The door opened, and the black stone table at the end of the hall reappeared. There was a token on it, and there were six weapons on both sides.
He took a deep breath and entered the hall.
Behind him, more people crazily rushed into the castle. As Zi Chen wasn't around, everyone had a chance.
When the Perfect Body arrived, he shouted and rushed in.
Moments later, Zi Chen and the others arrived. However, before they could approach the castle, the Spirit Devouring Rat appeared to stop them.
