Just as Long Yu set foot on the stairs leading to the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower and started fighting against a large group of hostile withered exotic beasts, quite a few people were charging up the stairs on the other floors of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower.
There were too many withered exotic beasts on the stairs leading to the fourth floor, as well as powerful existences from the Heavenly Being Secret Realm. It would be very difficult for a single person to make it.
Apart from Xuanji, Tianchen, and the other four geniuses who had stepped into the Human Glory Realm, none of the other Martial Cultivators who came to the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower could make it to the fourth floor on their own. They could only rely on the strength of other Martial Cultivators to fight their way through.
For example, even someone as powerful as Ji Tianqi did not dare to set foot on the stairs leading to the fourth floor alone.
That was because there were too many withered exotic beasts lying in ambush. There were even quite a few high-rank exotic beasts that had reached the Human Origin Realm. Ji Tianqi would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with just one of them, not to mention the large group of withered exotic beasts.
Given Ji Tianqi's strength, he would most likely die if he tried to force his way through. Even if he did not die, he would be heavily injured and lose most of his combat strength. It would be impossible for him to obtain any treasures on the fourth floor.
Every floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower was very spacious. There were hundreds of stairs leading from the third to the fourth floor alone, so it was very rare for people to run into each other.
There were only a handful of people like Long Yu who were able to step onto the passage to the fourth floor alone.
It could be said that apart from Xuanji, Tianchen, and the other four Martial Cultivators, Long Yu was the only one who had such courage.
"Impressive!"
As Long Yu made his way to the fourth floor, the withered exotic beasts he encountered grew stronger and stronger. There were even terrifying beasts from the Heavenly Being Secret Realm!
These withered exotic beasts attacked from very tricky angles. Their withered arms were like octopus tentacles, constantly wrapping around Long Yu.
However, Long Yu relied on the Yellow Springs Barrier to easily block most of the withered branch exotic beasts' attacks.
Needless to say, under the Yellow Springs Realm, the withered branch exotic beasts would be weakened even more than other martial cultivators would be in the Yellow Springs Realm.
If the Worshipping God Eagles' battle prowess was reduced by twenty to thirty percent under the Yellow Springs Realm, then the withered exotic beasts' battle prowess was reduced by at least half under the influence of the Yellow Springs Realm.
This obviously showed that the Netherworld Energy was the natural counter of these withered branch beasts.
Regardless of whether it was Samsara Awakening or Lying Drunk in the Yellow Springs, the might they displayed was sufficient to annihilate these Withered Branch Exotic Beasts. Unfortunately, after these ordinary Withered Branch Exotic Beasts were killed, there were no treasures like the Exotic Beast Souls. It was a slight pity.
If a Deva Secret Realm or Early Human Realm withered beast appeared, Long Yu would directly use the "You" character to deal with it. After condensing the "You" character into a beam, it would easily pierce through the withered beast's body and cut its tentacle-like withered arms into several pieces.
"The power of the Divine Text seems inexhaustible. It's just that after using it too much, I feel dizzy …"
After killing another Deva Secret Realm beast with the "You" character, Long Yu felt a little dizzy. He felt that using the "You" character didn't consume the Profound Qi in his body, but another unknown power.
The more he used the Divine Text, the more dizzy he became and the less energetic he felt. This made Long Yu feel somewhat vigilant.
It seemed that the power of the "You" character couldn't be used too much!
Fortunately, the Samsara Awakening had a miraculous effect on these withered branch exotic beasts. Even against the Deva Secret Realm withered branch exotic beasts, it could reduce their power by more than half.
Coupled with the influence of the Yellow Springs Realm, the withered branch exotic beasts in the Deva Secret Realm did not pose much of a threat to Long Yu.
It could be said that even a God Worshipping Hawk was much more of a threat to Long Yu than these withered branch exotic beasts. The fundamental reason was that the martial skills that Long Yu had comprehended related to the Nine Serenities were too effective against these withered branch exotic beasts.
Long Yu continued to move up the stairs. The floor was littered with the corpses of the withered branch exotic beasts.
Facing the tide of withered branch exotic beasts filled with killing intent, even though Long Yu's Dantian, which had been tempered by the Heavenly Thunder, was constantly throbbing, the Profound Qi in his body was quickly depleted.
"Take the medicinal pill and continue!"
Long Yu raised his hand and took out a small medicine bottle from the Nine Serenities Space. He swallowed a medicinal pill that could recover Profound Qi.
He had learned how to refine these medicinal pills when he was following the alchemy elder, Duskcrane Pine. He would store them after refining them for emergency use. Now, they really came in handy.
Long Yu killed his way up to the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. The speed at which he killed the withered branch exotic beasts was probably even faster than Xuanji Tianchen and the other Renhua Realm cultivators.
If others saw the scene of Long Yu killing the withered branch exotic beasts, they would definitely be shocked on the spot. It was a pity that no one followed behind Long Yu, and no one would know that all the withered branch exotic beasts on the stairs were killed by Long Yu alone.
Finally, when Long Yu's hands were getting tired from killing the exotic beasts, he finally reached the end of the stairs!
"Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, fourth floor."
Long Yu raised his head and looked around.
The stairs between every floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower were pitch-black. Apart from that, there were luminous stones embedded in the walls of every hall and passage for illumination.
Long Yu stepped onto the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda and discovered that he was in an average-sized hall. This hall was filled with dark green vines as usual, giving it an eerie appearance.
"There are no exotic beasts."
Long Yu frowned slightly, a little surprised. He thought that there would be more withered branch exotic beasts on the fourth floor.
"That's not right. It seems like there aren't so many exotic beasts on every floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. Only the stairs have the most withered branch exotic beasts …"
Long Yu's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of something.
He had tested it earlier. Although he could sense the aura of the withered branch exotic beasts standing at the bottom of the stairs leading to the fourth floor, they were unable to walk down the stairs to the third floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower.
"Could it be because of the restrictions of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower? Withered branch exotic beasts with a certain cultivation can only move around on a certain floor? "
While thinking about it, Long Yu contacted the Dragon Seal of Nine Underworlds' reaction.
After arriving on the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, the Dragon Seal of Nine Underworlds became even hotter, as if the environment was attracting it even more strongly.
Obviously, the closer one was to the higher floors of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, the stronger the aura of Nine Underworlds!
Take the exotic beasts on the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower for example. The most comfortable place for them was the staircase leading up from the third floor. It was because the aura of Nine Underworlds was the faintest there.
They wanted to leave the fourth floor and head for the third floor, or even lower floors, leaving the entire Ancient Dragon Bone Tower.
Unfortunately, the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower was like a cage for those withered branch exotic beasts. They had no way of escaping at all.
This was a cage used to imprison withered branch exotic beasts!
After stepping onto the fourth floor, Long Yu started moving forward.
At this moment, he was not prepared to head for the fifth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower directly. Long Yu knew that with his current strength, there was no way he could pass through the staircase leading to the fifth floor.
"I have to enter the Heavenly Realm!"
Long Yu thought to himself.
In order to achieve this goal, Long Yu had to find an opportunity in the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower.
There were many treasures on every floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. Some of them were the souls of exotic beasts obtained from the withered branch exotic beasts. As for the others, Long Yu had no idea, but he guessed that there would definitely be other types of treasures.
"Whether I can enter the Heavenly Realm or not will depend on whether these treasures are effective …"
Long Yu thought to himself.
To enter the Heavenly Realm, the most crucial thing was to break through the bottleneck. However, for Long Yu, he had yet to accumulate the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. It was undoubtedly a pipe dream for him to enter the Heavenly Realm.
Right now, all Long Yu could think about was making his way through the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower to look for treasures and see if he could raise his martial realm.
As for the bottleneck, he could only leave it to fate!
"In this direction, the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworld senses it the most …"
Relying on the feeling of the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworld, Long Yu kept heading in a certain direction. That direction was not where the stairs to the next floor were. Instead, there must be some treasure that attracted the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworld.
…
At the same time, several other groups of people set foot on the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower from different stairs at almost the same time.
"We've finally reached the fourth floor. Quick, let's find the Source of the Nine Underworld!"
"From the fourth floor onward, every floor has a Source of the Nine Underworld. This is a fifth-grade treasure. If we can get it, there's a chance for us to enter the Heavenly Realm!"
Many disciples of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate traversed the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower as quickly as they could.
Among these disciples, there were martial arts practitioners of the Rank Nine True Spirit. However, the key was that every team would be led by experts of the Heavenly Realm or the Initial Human Realm. That was why they were able to quickly pass through the stairs and reach the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower.
As disciples of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate, they had long been influenced by the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower and knew very well what was inside. As such, their actions were all purposeful.
"We've reached the fourth floor. Chihuo, if we see that Long Yu, do you know what to do?"
In a dark green passageway on the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, Xuanji Tianchen, who was dressed in a golden robe, calmly said to a devilish red-haired youth behind him, "Kill him, and your clansmen will be saved!"
"Got it."
The devilish red-haired youth, who used to be the Little Fox Demon Chihuo, had a look of hatred in his eyes.
He did not hate Long Yu, but the golden-robed Xuanji Tianchen before him!
"However, the chances of that guy making it to the fourth floor are slim. Even if he can, he won't be faster than us."
Xuanji Tianchen then said, "Let's go and find the Source of the Nine Underworld. That thing is the best treasure every time the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower opens."
Chihuo followed Xuanji Tianchen and began traversing the fourth floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, searching for the Source of the Nine Underworld that everyone was looking for.
However, they did not know that the Long Yu they were thinking about was approaching the Source of the Nine Underworld at a speed faster than they were!
"The Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworld is getting hotter and hotter …"
As Long Yu rapidly traversed the passageway, the reaction of the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworld on his chest grew stronger.
