A light door radiating ancient fluctuations quietly appeared behind the black stone tablet. In that light, it was as if a boundless aura of desolation emanated, inducing fear and reverence in people.
Mu Chen and the three others’ glances were transfixed on the door.
Mu Chen looked towards Ink Blade and asked in a low voice, “Is this the gateway to the last floor? What on earth is the fifth floor?”
Ink Blade shook his head and said, “Very few people can enter the fifth level. It is said that the test on the fifth level is not fixed and changes accordingly, so I’m not sure what we’re going to face this time.”
Mu Chen frowned a little, but somehow, the last floor of the tower made him feel some palpitations in his heart, something he had never felt before.
No matter what, it had been a struggle to get here, so he had no reason to give up now. Moreover, having previously absorbed the essence of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Beast, his physique had once again gained great strength, and he could feel that perhaps he would only need to take that little step.
The Dragon-Phoenix Scriptures would enable him to make a breakthrough to the second level! By then, his physique would attain a whole new level of evolution! Mu Chen would no longer have the slightest fear when facing the various supreme talents of the Divine Beast Clans.
No one would be worthy to be his opponent among the Seventh Grade Sovereigns, either. A fire surged in Mu Chen’s eyes at this thought. He immediately took a deep breath and without any more nonsense exclaimed, “Let’s go!”
When his voice fell, he was the first to step out directly towards the light door and go in. Behind Mu Chen, Ink Blade also immediately followed. Han Shan smiled as he looked at the gloomy Zong Teng.
Zong Teng was at the end of the line. He looked at Mu Chen and the others with a cold glint flashing in his eyes as they disappeared into the door of light. It seemed that in this fifth level, he must obtain the best opportunity. Once his power was enhanced, the first thing he would do was to make sure Mu Chen perished there!
“I’ll see who can get the last laugh!” Zong Teng murmured and immediately stepped out directly into the ring of light leading to the last floor.
…
As the four of them entered the light door, outside the Body-refining Tower, everyone’s eyes were burning with heat as they looked up at the fifth floor. They also wanted to know what exactly the test of the fifth floor of the Body-refining Tower would be. According to some of the information they had, few people had made it through the fifth-tier test over the years.
Although the four people were considered good, many felt they would only return in regret.
Ink Ring clenched her little fists as she asked Nine Nether in a low voice, “Elder Sister Nine Nether, can Brother Mu and my big brother pass the test of the fifth floor?”
Nine Nether thought it over and replied solemnly, “It’s very difficult. It is said that the test of the fifth floor is not fixed. Sometimes it even has a Sacred Artifact that will launch an attack… Of course, it is not a true Sacred Artifact but a projection. Even so, that kind of power is not something our level can resist.”
Ink Ring was stunned. Even offensive attacks from Sacred Artifacts can appear? If one makes contact, even a Seventh Grade Sovereign will be instantly wiped out by that level of attack?
The difficulty of the fifth level of the Body-refining Tower was so intense?
Whispers were heard coming out of the tower, and everyone was staring at the fifth floor. Not long after that, unsurprisingly, there was a resurgence of light as it gradually turned into a light screen.
Everyone’s glances immediately converged on the light screen.
…
After Mu Chen had stepped into the ring of light, the light only lasted for a moment, then faded away like a tidal current. The rich smell of blood swiftly permeated the area.
The sudden stench of blood caused Mu Chen’s heart to jolt. The golden light on his body burst out as the golden feather sword seized from Zong Teng also flashed out. He grasped the sword firmly in his hands.
After a series of defensive measures, Mu Chen raised his gaze, and then his expression twisted.
The place he was in seemed to be an ancient battlefield covered with corpses. A bloody stench permeated the atmosphere, and a bitter aura enshrouded heaven and earth, making Mu Chen’s scalp tingle with dread.
Not far behind Mu Chen, Ink Blade, and the two also appeared. Upon seeing this scene, their eyes narrowed, and they immediately triggered their spiritual energy to protect their bodies.
“This is the last level of the Body-refining Tower?”
Mu Chen surveyed the ancient battlefield. The aura of death and destruction that swept across the earth and the sky revealed how terrifying the war was that had broken out in this battlefield.
