Chapter 994: The Third Level
At this moment, the sturdiness of Qing Feng Palace's wall became apparent!
The giant wooden figure's punch contained more than a thousand ancient horned dragons' strength. Although it roughly slammed on the wall, not only did it fail to penetrate the wall, it did not even put a dent in the wall.
Qing Feng Palace's walls were obviously constructed with special materials since it was extremely sturdy.
"Seventh Level Advanced Wind Concept?"
Duan Ling Tian relied on the impact and managed to escape the giant wooden figure's punch, his heart jolted and gallbladder trembled. When he saw the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon in the space above the giant wooden figure, he could not help but stare.
1200 ancient horned dragons' silhouettes!
The giant wooden figure, with its Origin Energy fully exerted, had a strength that was equivalent to four hundred ancient horned dragons' strength.
After it combined Wind Concept with its Origin Energy and transformed into gusts of green wind that entwined around its body, it displayed the strength of 1200 ancient horned dragons' strength.
That meant its Wind Concept was equivalent to eight hundred ancient horned dragons' strength!
It was a Seventh Level Advanced Wind Concept!
Duan Ling Tian retrieved one of the Life Recovery Pill he had refined and ate it. The Life Recovery Pill with high purity healed most of his injuries in just a blink of an eye.
Although there were still some injuries on Duan Ling Tian's body, there was no pressure at all since he could crush the giant wooden figure with his full strength.
Nine Dragons' Radiant Flash!
There was a hint of coldness on the corner of Duan Ling Tian's mouth when he faced the giant wooden figure that was charging toward him again. He lifted the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword in his hands and slashed out suddenly.
Immediately, Origin Energy that was combined with four types of Concepts transformed into three divine dragons that shot forward. The three divine dragons' eyes flashed, six extremely radiant lights shot out and left six holes on the giant wooden figure's body.
Shou!
However, the giant wooden figure was not human. Even with six holes on its body, it was still as fierce. It continued to charge toward Duan Ling Tian.
"Almost forgot about it... It's just a wooden figure, obviously, it doesn't have any vital organs."
Duan Ling Tian, who had mistaken the wooden figure for a human, could not help but smile bitterly. Instead of using Nine Dragons' Radiant Flash again, he flew out and faced the giant wooden figure.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
...
A series of sword whistling noise like rainstorm rang out from nowhere.
The Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword in Duan Ling Tian's hands struck out like lightning and broke the giant wooden figure into numerous pieces in just a blink of an eye.
For a period of time, the strange stone platform hovered solitarily in mid-air.
Hua!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's Spiritual Energy that was on guard all along trembled slightly. He immediately figured out the Inscription Formation inside the strange stone platform was being triggered again. It intended to pull the wood pieces all over the ground together again.
It was apparent that it was trying to form another giant wooden figure and attack him again.
'Heng!'
Duan Ling Tian had already learned from his mistake, naturally, he would not let it succeed again. As he lifted his arm, a vast energy shrouded the stone monument.
Pang!!!
A loud bang echoed as the stone monument trembled. Although it did not break, the energy extended by the Inscription Formation slowed down a little.
Duan Ling Tian seized the opportunity and quickly kept the stone platform in his Spatial Ring.
After the stone platform was kept in the Spatial Ring, the rising pieces of wood fell back on the ground. Calmness was instantly restored at the scene.
"I'll keep the stone platform first... I'll study it when I have time." Duan Ling Tian decided.
'If that Inscription Formation can really be used on human martial artists, thus allowing a fight to be won by numbers; for the weak to overpower the strong... Maybe I might consider amassing a force!' Duan Ling Tian thought silently in his heart. As his thoughts trailed, there was a gleam in his eyes that were filled with expectations.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian seemed to be imagining hundreds and thousands of Void Transformation martial artists led by him traveling all over the place, and even a Martial Monarch powerhouse had to avoid them.
Just thinking of a scene like that made his blood boil!
Rumble!
Rumble! Rumble!
...
Several moments after Duan Ling Tian kept that strange stone platform, a burst of loud noises sounded and entered his ears clearly.
Simultaneously, the ceiling above him opened up, and a passageway headed to Qing Feng Palace's third level appeared before his eyes.
"The two other corridors are silent... It seems that the both of them didn't make it."
When Duan Ling Tian stepped on air to leave the second level of Qing Feng Palace, he purposely glanced at two other corridors, excluding the one he came from.
It was silent, and no movement could be heard.
It was obvious the two young powerhouses did not possess the ability to break through the corridor filled with wooden figures.
"Earlier, I was worried someone might get ahead of me, obtain the copper key and get the chance to move on to Qing Feng Palace's third level... Now that I think about it, I was worrying needlessly," Duan Ling Tian muttered as he looked at the crescent-shaped copper key in his hands. There was a hint of surprise in his voice.
Shortly after, he left the second level of Qing Feng Palace and appeared on the third level.
Rumble!
Rumble! Rumble!
...
As Duan Ling Tian arrived at Qing Feng Palace's third level, loud noises were heard from the ceiling of the second level again. The passageway closed as though it was trying to prevent someone else from coming up.
"Young one, congratulations on your arrival to Qing Feng Palace's third level...Once you passed the third level's test, you'll get a silver key."
When Duan Ling Tian realized he had triggered another Polyphony Formation, Martial Emperor Qing Feng's voice had already entered his ears in a timely manner.
"Silver key?"
When Duan Ling Tian heard Martial Emperor Qing Feng's statement, the corner of his mouth twitched. "First, it was a copper key, now it's a silver key... I wonder if there's a golden key?"
However, Duan Ling Tian knew that he did not have any other options right now, he would have to do as Martial Emperor Qing Feng said unless he did not want the three Profundity Fragment inside Martial Emperor Qing Feng's body.
When Duan Ling Tian was breaking through the Qing Feng Palace one level at a time, the others scattered around Qing Feng Palace were faced with the same situation. Naturally, most of them were eliminated in the first, second and even third level of Qing Feng Palace.
The test on the third level was undoubtedly much more difficult than the test on the second level.
In addition to breaking through the necessary test, they had to fight at the cost of their lives. Only those who remained would obtain the silver key and successfully move on.
The third level of Qing Feng Palace, inside one of the spacious hall.
Three figures stood separately in a corner, facing off against each other. The smell of gunpowder was unusually strong as though they were ready to attack at any moment.
Among them was an extremely beautiful young woman.
A red-clad young woman who was drop-dead gorgeous. She looked remarkably like a fire elf.
Suddenly, one of the young men yelled, "Kill!"
The Origin Energy in his body skyrocketed, his Concept followed like a shadow and merged with the spirit weapon in his hands.
He first rushed in the red-clad woman's direction, the power of the spirit weapon in his hands was completely exerted.
In his opinion, among the three people there, including him, the weakest one would definitely be the red-clad woman who only looked around twenty years old. She would be the easiest to kill.
In order to fight the last person without any worries, he decided to first eliminate the red-clad woman.
Although he was entranced by the woman's beauty, he was not in the mood for it now.
"I'm determined to get the silver key!" The young man's eyes gleamed with malice while confidence filled his face.
In the meantime, Heaven and Earth Energy stirred in the space above him as they continued to form a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. Approximately one thousand ancient horned dragons' silhouettes were formed.
Shou!
The other young man charged toward the red-clad woman at the same time as the former young man rushed there. It seemed as though they had planned this beforehand.
At the space above him, there were also approximately a thousand ancient horned dragons' silhouettes lunging toward the woman with great momentum.
Hu!
Faced with both their attacks, the woman stood firmly. She remained unmoving as her clothes fluttered.
There was no wind in here, the woman's red robe was fluttering from the airwave and fierce wind due to the air explosion caused by the two young men's attacks.
"Die!" Both of them were from Izumo Sect and North Nether Sect respectively. The Izumo Sect's disciple who attacked later looked at the red-clad woman ferociously, and there was malice in his gaze.
Out of everyone who had entered the Martial Emperor's secret treasure with him, only him and another person were left.
The two strongest young powerhouse from the younger generation of Izumo Sect were killed by the same person.
The killer was none other than Duan Ling Tian!
A young powerhouse from a mere third-rate force had frightened him to the bottom of his heart.
He knew this red-clad woman in front of him was close to Duan Ling Tian before they entered Qing Feng Palace. This was one of the reasons he attacked her.
The red-clad girl was Feng Tian Wu!
Ever since Feng Tian Wu split up with Duan Ling Tian, she had managed to pass the tests from the first level of Qing Feng Palace to the third level.
After she passed the test, Martial Emperor Qing Feng's voice entered her ears clearly.
She found out the third level of Qing Feng Palace required two persons' lives and blood sacrifice to open the entrance to the fourth level.
Faced with both attacks, one on the left and the other on the right, Feng Tian Wu's face remained calm as though she could keep a straight face even if Mount Tai collapsed before her.
Feng Tian Wu did not make any move until the two of them arrived near her.
Boom!
There was a raising flame on Feng Tian Wu's body that stirred the Heaven and Earth Energy in the space above her. Finally, it formed the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.
A thousand ancient horned dragons' silhouettes descended slowly, and they looked lifelike.
"Ninth...Ninth Level Advanced Fire Concept?!"
When the two young men saw the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above Feng Tian Wu, the faces of both persons, who was rapidly charging toward her with the intention to kill, changed dramatically.
