Chapter 474: Spots Filled (2/2)

When the tower appeared, Xiao Chen and the others placed the jade pendant around their chest and immediately headed to the entrance of the first floor.

Although the doors were open, there was a membrane of light blue energy flickering with a dim blue light around them.

“Chi! Chi!”

Four or five impatient people rushed in front of the ground and entered. When their hands touched the membrane, the jade pendant with the mysterious talisman scripts immediately lit up, and they pa.s.sed through.

It seemed that the blue energy membrane had the ability to differentiate those with the jade pendant from those who tried to barge in forcefully without one.

Xiao Chen was not in a rush to enter the Ancient Desolate Tower. He stood outside and looked at the tower.

The tower had nine floors and was more than four hundred meters tall. Spiritual Energy revolved around the foot of the tower, forming an overwhelming aura.

Just by standing at its feet, one could feel an ancient and vast aura creating a strong pressure.

In the past, the Thunder Emperor only managed to go to the seventh floor. For so many people to be so nervous about it and be filled with antic.i.p.ation, what exactly is in this Ancient Desolate Tower? I wonder how many floors I will be able to climb up?

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. He walked to the energy membrane and stretched his right hand out.

“Xiu!”

Xiao Chen’s figure trembled and he felt like he was going through a waterfall. Then, he appeared on the first floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower.

“Boom!”

Just as Xiao Chen landed on the ground, he felt a huge pressure crus.h.i.+ng down on him.

It was a formless pressure that came from the air, pressing heavily on Xiao Chen’s shoulders like a pair of huge hands. It felt like his entire body was pushed down.

Xiao Chen got caught off guard and fell to one knee. The pressure nearly pushed him to the ground.

After Xiao Chen reacted to it, he circulated his Vital Qi around his body. He straightened his back and allowed that pressure flow onto him. However, he remained motionless.

This pressure is not that strong, Xiao Chen thought to himself. As long as I am not pressed to the ground immediately, it is quite easy to resist.

Xiao Chen looked up. The first floor was very vast. There were carvings of many people on the wall, staring at the people who came to challenge the Ancient Desolate Tower.

Xiao Chen continued looking further up. He saw a barrier of light separating the first and second floor like a ceiling.

Several cultivators flew into the air, fighting the pressure. They slowly moved towards the light barrier above them.

The barrier was at a height that they would normally be able to cover in a couple of breaths. However, it now felt extremely difficult to move even one meter.

The air felt very dense and sticky, ruthlessly pressing down on them.

“Can anyone help me up!”

Xiao Chen saw an unfortunate fellow about a meter in front. He was pressed flat on the ground, trying to push himself off the ground with his hands.

He tried to stand up, but could not even after a long time. His only option was to call out for help.

The pressure in the first layer was not so great that it could not be resisted. However, if one let down their guard at the very start, they would be pressed flat on the ground.

It would be very difficult to rely on their own strength to stand up again.

The surrounding cultivators were all climbing up nervously. No one cared about him at all. Even if they heard him, they just ignored him.

All of them were compet.i.tors here. It was hard to say whether if they helped him, he might end up becoming stronger than them.

Xiao Chen shook his head, It is not easy to enter this Ancient Desolate Tower. It would definitely be unfortunate if one gave up here.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen stomped heavily on the ground and pushed off the ground with a huge force. He used his force to slowly fly up.

The cultivator laying flat on the ground also used this force to get up to a bow. He looked at Xiao Chen, who was in the air, and quickly thanked him.

“Hu! Hu!”

Xiao Chen broke through the seemingly solid pressure and slowly rose up. At first, he moved rather slowly. Then, he got used to it.
