As Yan Zaizen was harvesting in peace, Wu Kun finally got interested in why the Presba's Imperial forces were half-naked without anything to call their own. Considering he allied with them, robbing them so directly was an affront to his name. His first intentions were to get back face for himself when he saw them.

”...”

Then, he heard what happened.

The notion of revenge fluttered away like a blue jay in spring.

”Understood. Men, give them some of your spare clothes.” Was all he instructed, then he looked towards Yan Zaizen with a deeply concealed glint within his gaze. Yan Zaizen had two profound cultivation bases, one at the Perfect Aurora Soul Realm and peak-True Essence body cultivation. As this was only the entryway into the second floor, he had zero intentions of offending someone like this.

He also thought it was absurd. If Yan Zaizen truly took Princess Qin forcefully because of her beauty, it would be far too simple to take her as his wife. With his prowess, he would only need to say a word, and Dong Long would easily agree. Hell, even Princess Qin herself would do so. With a husband of such strength, it'll be like becoming the Empress of a continent. Even the Xiantu Empire would give him face!

As for performing the deed for revenge? What reason did he have to do it in the shadows? He could simply do so openly, take her as a slave, and wipe out her entire force. From his knowledge, Dong Long was the strongest cultivator amongst Presba's Imperial Family. Killing him was as simple as a breath for Yan Zaizen. What issues could he have?

After a while, many individuals were using special tools, a combined soul energy construction of multiple individuals, or a profound soul cultivation to harvest the Asura's Milk. Unfortunately, a few people had their souls washed in failure, but most were cautious enough to be definitively sure they could harvest a single drop before taking action.

Others were trying to figure out the requirements for them to take their group through the curtain. A group of three initial-True Essence Realm and several Origin Core cultivators pulled their strength together to penetrate the curtain. Regrettably, even combined, their strength couldn't rival the mid-True Essence Realm. Their souls were directly cleansed in their attempt.

As for their possessions, Yan Zaizen was the first to take action. His soul energy constructing a thick robe, it traveled at high-speed to snag all objects in their possessions. As for the True Essence experts, he snatched their bodies as well. With their soul flames wiped, they were essentially dead. He was always one to obtain a profit. A True Essence corpse was incredibly valuable.

Many who watched had some discontent, but they didn't take action due to Yan Zaizen's prowess. He, of course, actively avoided those who still had experts to pick up their bodies. He wasn't so ruthless as to take their bodies from their friends and families. As for those who didn't have anyone? They were directly taken with zero hesitation.

After three days, many experts had already passed to the second floor, but Yan Zaizen was still harvesting the Asura's Milk. Regardless of what's on the second floor, the Asura's Milk had a far greater worth than anything that'd be there. As for his original group, they had long since departed. With their total strength, bypassing the curtain was an easy feat. However, harvesting the milk was impossible.

Only after a month, did Yan Zaizen finally exit, entering the second floor. If he stayed here for too long, its likely everything in the entire palace would be taken by others. He couldn't have that.

Just like he assumed, when he arrived at the main hall, this time with ten corridors, his spiritual sense revealed nothing but ransacked areas. There was even evidence of fierce battles taking place. It seemed there was something of exceptional value within these doors. At least, enough to fight fiercely for.

Ma Xiuren stayed silently by Yan Zaizen's side throughout. Due to the fact she decided to accompany Yan Zaizen, she had missed her chance to fight for the second floor's treasures. Her eyes flickered as she carefully scanned the area, but she didn't feel the slightest hint of regret.

”Let's go.” Yan Zaizen urged. With that, they both traversed the halls towards a destroyed spatial platform. Yan Zaizen couldn't help but feel that this layout was rather reminiscent of the Anima Syndicate's. The Anima Syndicate had three corridors, several doors, and at the end of each corridor, two miniaturized spatial platforms. It may not be the exact same but it was quite similar.

Ma Xiuren withdrew a silver-orb. It was exactly the same one as Guàn Cui's. It seems the situation of destroying a spatial platform was quite common in exploration campaigns and many prepared for it. Despite the initial travelers obviously destroying it during their departure, nine thousand cultivators still was capable of entering the second floor. Not to mention, there was no one on this floor except for them.

This indicated that everyone made it to the third floor. At least, those who were alive.

A spatial tunnel was produced by the silver-orb. With a leap, they both entered.

What awaited them was similar to the first and second floor. A vast room with a single door at the further end. However, there was no one here. Whatever guarded the third floor was likely dealt with during the month they idled in harvesting.

”I see…” Yan Zaizen felt a little discontent. However, he felt that Pinaka's previous words towards difficultly was correct. The first floor had the highest difficulty out of all the floors. This could be seen by the Golem's strength capable of rivaling a first-floor Heavenly Genesis expert in its domain, yet the Asura's Milk could be bypassed with a mid-True Essence strength. The third floor likely had similar defenses, but it was obviously not enough to stop all those who could reach here.

Similar to the second floor, the third floor was ransacked. The battle here was far more intense than before. He could see burnt limbs scattered about without a torso, blood sprayed all over the floors and walls painted in its crimson color, and even areas within the corridors suffering severe damage. The greater the benefits, the greater the fighting.
