There were at least a few dozen withered exotic beasts charging at Long Yu, and every single one of them was at the ninth grade of the True Spirit Realm.
As if sensing the Netherworld Aura on Long Yu, the withered exotic beasts all became a little agitated.
"Kill."
Without any hesitation, Long Yu raised his hand and gathered the Netherworld Aura, throwing a punch at the large group of withered exotic beasts.
The Netherworld Aura gathered was definitely more than enough to deal with the withered exotic beasts in the ninth grade of the True Spirit Realm.
The Netherworld Qi exploded with a loud bang. Long Yu's punch directly annihilated all the withered branch strange beasts.
Immediately after, he stepped into the hall and faced the three-storey tall giant withered exotic beast alone.
"What a big guy. Looks like I'll need to put in some effort to deal with you …"
Long Yu thought. However, just as he was about to make his move, he saw the withered arms that the giant withered exotic beast shot out start to split apart.
"Split? Reproduce? "
Long Yu was stunned. The giant withered exotic beast seemed to be the mother of the withered exotic beasts!
It was no wonder that the other small beasts were like stars surrounding the moon and protecting it. It was a pity that it had no chance of survival against Long Yu.
The power of the "You" character appeared once again, condensing into a beam of light that instantly shredded many of the withered arms of the giant withered exotic beast.
However, it was also at this moment that a large group of small withered exotic beasts grew out. Even though they did not have any consciousness or fighting strength, they still charged at Long Yu with no regard for their lives.
"Netherworld Realm, activate!"
With a thought from Long Yu, the Netherworld Aura instantly spread out, forming a terrifying domain that completely suppressed the newly born exotic beasts. They could not move at all.
Immediately after, Long Yu's "You" character continued to be activated, bombarding the mother of exotic beasts.
Not long after, the giant mother of exotic beasts fell to the ground under the destruction of the "You" character. It no longer had any life, nor did it have the ability to reproduce small withered exotic beasts.
"Strange Beast Soul … Only such a Strange Beast Mother would give birth to a Strange Beast Soul after death. Such a Strange Beast Soul is indeed a good tonic for human Martial Cultivators. It's a pity that after consuming a second Strange Beast Soul, the effects will be greatly reduced …"
Long Yu thought in his heart as he stepped into the palace. He grabbed the small ball of light that was rising up. That was the soul of the strange beast.
He could feel that the exotic beast soul born from the mother of exotic beasts was of a higher grade than the ones Long Yu had obtained before, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi it contained was much denser.
Unfortunately, Long Yu had already consumed the exotic beast soul, so it would not be of much use if he consumed it again.
"Seems like it won't be so easy to enter the Heavenly Mystery Realm."
Long Yu destroyed all the withered exotic beasts near the hall and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a few martial cultivators walking quickly in his direction.
Before Long Yu could leave, he saw several figures of martial cultivators appear in the passageway on the other side of the hall.
"Silent Shang, Eater, Xue Lan."
Long Yu looked over and saw three powerful martial cultivators of the Heavenly Mystery Realm and the Early Human Realm. Each of them was in the Early Human Realm. After the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, they would definitely become disciples of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate Realm.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they did not die in the Dragon Bone Tower.
"Long Yu."
The black figure, Silent Shang, said lightly.
Silent Shang was a powerful demon cultivator from the Soul Valley Demon Kingdom and a member of the Shadow Demon Royal Clan.
The Shadow Demon Royalty was a powerful Demon Clan that was above the Ghost Valley Winged Envoy Clan. They held a ruling position in the Soul Valley Demon Kingdom, and as the most talented Demon Cultivator of the younger generation in the entire Soul Valley Demon Kingdom, Silent Shang's pride was innate.
However, after coming to the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate Realm and participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, Silent Shang realized that there were so many geniuses in the world. Even the human martial cultivators that he had completely looked down upon were generally much stronger than the demon cultivators.
In particular, a human martial cultivator in the Ninth Rank True Spirit was able to snatch the Ultimate Divine Hall in the small world of the Heavenly Mandate Sand Table!
This made Silent Shang look at Long Yu in a new light.
"Long Yu, how about we join forces?"
Xue Lan, a beauty in a snow-white dress, who was a genius girl from the Ice Source Temple, said to Long Yu with a smile.
"Join forces?"
Long Yu did not expect the other party to state their purpose so directly.
Logically, after their experience in the small world of the Heavenly Mandate Sand Table, whether it was Silent Shang, Xue Lan, or the fat Eater, they would definitely hate Long Yu. After all, Long Yu had snatched the Ultimate Divine Hall.
"That's right. In the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, there are not only people like us who are participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, but also disciples of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate."
There was a smile and enthusiasm on the fat face of the Eater. "The disciples of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate have a much greater advantage than us in all aspects. Long Yu, if we join forces, we might be able to compete with them. But if we don't join forces, it is very likely that we will end up with nothing."
It turned out that they had encountered the disciples of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate and felt that they were not strong enough, so they wanted to join forces with Long Yu.
After all, now that Long Yu was standing on the fourth level of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower alone, it undoubtedly showed that he was very powerful himself. Otherwise, how could he have passed the stairs to the fourth level?
It was worth noting that Xue Lan, the Eater, and Silent Shang had joined forces and only managed to pass the stairs to the fourth level with great difficulty. Furthermore, they had joined forces with another group of people.
After reaching the fourth level, due to their different stances, the three of them had separated from the disciples of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
Now that the three of them had met Long Yu, they decided to invite Long Yu to join them.
"Alright, then let's walk together."
Long Yu nodded in agreement.
With his current strength, even if the three of them joined forces to kill him, they would have to think twice before doing so. As such, he was not afraid that the three of them would suddenly turn on him.
Most importantly, he did not have much of a grudge against Silent Shang, the Eater, and Xue Lan. In the current environment of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, the four of them joining forces was the best choice.
"What treasures have you obtained?"
Long Yu took the initiative to ask the three of them.
This was something that he was more concerned about. After all, he had only just found the first-grade treasure, the Soul of an Exotic Beast, and the treasure of an uncertain grade, the Origin of Nine Underworlds.
There were definitely many other types of treasures in the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, but Long Yu had not seen them before.
If he could obtain some information from the three of them, it would be of great help to his subsequent actions.
"The Soul of an Exotic Beast, obtained from the mother of the Exotic Beast. This is the most basic treasure in the entire Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. Any martial arts cultivator with a bit of strength will be able to obtain it."
Xue Lan smiled and said, "Other than that, there are also some naturally-grown herbs and treasures that can be directly consumed to raise one's martial arts realm."
"I also obtained a rare ore that can be used to refine some high-grade weapons. I'm not sure if it's a second-grade or third-grade treasure."
The Eater said with squinted eyes.
"Herbs, ores, Soul of an Exotic Beast …"
Long Yu nodded.
These things were naturally produced. It seemed that entering once every seven years would indeed produce a lot of good things during this period of time.
The Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm occupied such a good place, so it was only natural that their disciples would improve rapidly in their cultivation.
"It seems that I've only seen the Soul of an Exotic Beast so far. I'm a little ignorant."
Long Yu smiled faintly.
Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone about the Origin of the Nine Underworlds. Otherwise, there would definitely be more people who would feel enmity towards Long Yu. The first would be the four young Renhua Realm cultivators who were with Xuanji and Tian Chen.
Although Long Yu was not afraid, he did not want to cause trouble for no reason. Moreover, he, the Eater, Silent Shang, and Xue Lan were only tentatively walking together.
"Welcome."
Xue Lan smiled and extended her hand.
"Mm."
Long Yu nodded his head and extended his hand as well. He gently shook Xue Lan's delicate, snow-white and slender hand. It could be considered that he had officially walked together with the three of them.
On the fourth level of the Dragon Bone Tower, they were merely Initial Renhua Realm cultivators. They had to work together in order to gain the upper hand in certain conflicts. Otherwise, they would likely suffer at the hands of the disciples of the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
Being robbed of treasures? That was a small matter. It would be a big deal if they lost their lives.
"With our strength, I'm afraid we can only stay on the fourth level. If we want to go to the fifth level, only the five Renhua Realm cultivators are qualified."
The Eater shook his head and said, "In the next half a month, we must find as many treasures as possible on the fourth level."
"That's right. The difference between the Renhua Realm and our Initial Renhua Realm is too great. It's best if we don't run into the five Renhua Realm cultivators. Otherwise, we won't be able to gain anything."
Silent Shang nodded in a low voice.
Although he was a demon cultivator, Silent Shang seemed to be on good terms with the Eater and Xue Lan. After all, they had fought together before. They passed through the stairs that were filled with dried branches and beasts to the fourth level.
Xue Lan glanced at Long Yu and nodded. "Then let's stay on the fourth level first. The treasures there should be pretty good. Let's try to find as many as we can."
The four of them started walking in the same direction.
Although they were walking together, Long Yu was not at ease at all. After all, he was not familiar with Xue Lan, Silent Shang, and the Eater. He could not trust them completely.
Along the way, Long Yu asked the three if they had seen Man Xin, Yan Huan, Mo Mo, Tian Yutian, and the others. They said that they had not.
Although Long Yu was worried, it was impossible for him to look for them in the current situation. The Dragon Bone Tower was so huge. If he wanted to look for one person, he might not be able to find them even after a month.
"It's best if I can see more battles. That way, I can observe and try to break through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Mystery Realm."
This was what Long Yu was thinking when he walked with Xue Lan and the others.
Not long after, the four of them turned a corner and heard the sounds of an intense battle ahead. The four of them perked up.
If there was a battle, there would be treasures.
If there was a treasure, there would be opportunities!
