"Ka ca!"
The dragon claw latched onto the Blood Flame Beast King's fingers. Then, Xiao Chen grabbed and twisted. A huge force spread out and tore off the Blood Flame Beast King's arm.
The Blood Flame Beast King's arms were broken, and it fell to the ground. It let out an ear-piercing roar of pain.
"Pu ci!
Sparks spread out, and the Blood Flame Beast King's arm actually grew back at a visible rate.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He knew that unless he attacked the Blood Flame Beast King's vital point, which was the Soul Imprint, he would not be able to cause any substantial damage.
Xiao Chen landed on the ground at lightning speed, and a fierce purple flame started to spread in his right eye. Finally, it burst out.
The flame whirlpool infused with the Purple Thunder True Fire's Origin Flame merged with the surging Primal Chaos Qi in the air. Then, it carried surging energy as it headed for the Blood Flame Beast.
The Primal Chaos Qi, which was already reaching its limits, started to crack when it received such a vast and pure Yang-attributed flame.
A small hole appeared in the surging scarlet clouds above, and a strand of resplendent golden light fell from it.
When the Blood Flame Beast King saw the surging Primal Chaos Qi with a surging aura, its expression changed greatly. This Primal Chaos Qi was no longer something it could block.
It had already wasted some time trying to regrow its arm. Now, it was too late to dodge.
The Blood Flame Beast King could only grit its teeth and wave its palms. A scarlet flame shield formed in front of it, ready to fight to the death.
Xiao Chen did not even want to give the Blood Flame Beast King one last chance. He released the saber hilt and sent out a palm strike.
"Xiu!"
The Palm Sword immediately shot out and turned into a beam of dim light. It disappeared in a flash and tore a small hole in the scarlet flame shield.
"Boom!"
The Primal Chaos Qi arrived, and the shield, which already had a small hole in it, could no longer block it. The Primal Chaos Qi shattered it.
A horrifying energy instantly exploded. The Blood Flame Beast King was blasted into a sorry state. The glow on its body dimmed, and the most important thing was that a crack appeared on its chest.
Looking through the crack, one could clearly see a white brilliance pulsating continuously.
Xiao Chen's gaze turned cold. He instantly sheathed the Lunar Shadow Saber and summoned out a clump of purple flames. Then, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Life Bestowal Spell!"
Xiu!
The short sword, which was surrounded by purple flames, instantly pierced through the crack. The King Grade Blood Flame Beast roared angrily, and its body, which had already lost its luster, started to crack.
In the end, it completely turned into wisps of flames that scattered into the sky.
As the King level Blood Flame Beast died, Xiao Chen finally let out a sigh of relief. This King level Blood Flame Beast was no weaker than him.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen's body was completely composed of flames, making it extremely troublesome to deal with him. If not for the Life Bestowal Spell formed by the purple flames, the explosion of the ball of Qi at the end would not have been able to deal any fatal damage to him.
The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous the situation would be for Xiao Chen.
Kacha kacha!
The mirror-like clouds above the blood pillar started to crack. The strand of golden light grew larger and larger. Finally, it turned into a golden pillar of light and descended.
Bang, bang, bang!
Under the illumination of the golden light, the blood pillar started to rumble continuously. Finally, it shattered, and the thousand-meter-tall blood pillar collapsed.
Xiao Chen landed back on the ground and said indifferently, "There are still three more spots. The combat prowess of the Blood Flame Beast King is weaker than mine. However, its recovery rate is much faster than mine. So, I have to end this quickly. Even if I have to use all my trump cards, I will not hesitate."
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and analyzed the earlier battle. When he opened his eyes, he only came to one conclusion. It was a quick battle.
He had to think of a way to break through the hard block in front of the Blood Flame Beast King's chest. Even if he was injured, he had to do it. Then, he would use the short sword made of purple flames. This was the best way to deal with the Blood Flame Beast King.
Six hours later, Xiao Chen killed the last Blood Flame Beast King in the Scarlet Blood Cage.
Another hole appeared in the scarlet clouds. The golden pillar of light descended, and the blood pillar collapsed.
Xiao Chen landed on the ground. His white robes were already dyed red. Countless wounds of various sizes covered his body. He was clearly mentally fatigued.
Panting slightly, Xiao Chen stuffed a Medicinal Pill into his mouth. Then, he sat down cross-legged and circulated his energy to heal the wounds on his body.
"Sha!
Sha! Sha! "As the four blood pillars collapsed, the scarlet clouds above started to shatter. The cage collapsed on its own, just as Xiao Chen had expected.
When all the blood clouds disappeared, a dazzling golden light shone down from the sky. The cold Qi in the entire space disappeared completely.
"Pa!"
A huge golden palm appeared in the golden light, occupying half of the sky.
The lines on the huge palm were very clear. It carried a supreme might as it grabbed the strange lotus-shaped flame and pulled it out.
Xiao Chen vaguely saw the Scarlet Blood Frost Flame and the huge palm fighting intensely. He wondered if it had been pulled out of the golden light.
However, Xiao Chen did not know. He had already turned into a beam of dim light and flew out of the painting.
When Xiao Chen looked around, the familiar environment of the Ancient Desolate Tower appeared before him. He looked at the paintings that the other seven had chosen. They were all still there. He should be the first to come out.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and focused on the painting in his hand. He slowly unfurled the painting, and a new scene appeared before him.
The Scarlet Blood Prison that had been supporting the sky was no longer there. The picture in the painting turned into a golden palm slowly holding up a lotus made of scarlet flames.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, This painting is really strange. It can absorb the projection of the real world.
In the future, if I meet an enemy that I cannot deal with, I can open this painting and lock them up.
I wonder if I can bring it out? Xiao Chen tried to place it in his Universe Ring. However, he discovered a formless resistance; he could not succeed.
Xiao Chen could only place it in his embrace. There were many wounds on his body. His external injuries were horrifying, and his internal injuries were not good either.
The Yin flame of the Blood Flame Beast had entered his body and burned his meridians. He had to recover before he could enter the next floor.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged, continuing to treat his injuries.
"Xiu!"
After a while, there was the sound of wind. Xiao Chen checked with his Spiritual Sense and discovered that Xia Xiyan had failed her challenge. She had been ejected out of the Ancient Desolate Tower.
Xiao Chen felt it was a pity. Then, he continued to focus on treating his injuries. Soon, another dim light flashed. Mu Xinya had failed her challenge as well.
Every now and then, another dim light would flash. Jiang Zimo and Chu Mu had both failed their challenges. They were all ejected out of the Ancient Desolate Tower.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, How lucky I am. If I did not have the Purple Thunder True Fire, I would not have been able to clear the Scarlet Blood Prison so smoothly.
Otherwise, I would not have ended up much better than these people. The chances of me failing would have been very high.
After a while, with the nourishment of Essence and Medicinal Pills, Xiao Chen's internal injuries were significantly better. The wounds on his body had already healed completely; there were no longer any visible injuries.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and stood up, "I can only do this. If I want to recover completely, I will need at least half a day. I cannot afford to wait that long."
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, one of the paintings shattered, turning into countless pieces of paper flying through the air.
Chu Chaoyun stood on the ground in a sorry state. Frost covered his entire body, and his lips were frighteningly black.
It looked like Chu Chaoyun had met with some trouble in the Ten Thousand Poison Ice Cave. However, he had managed to get out. "Bang!
Bang! "
There were two more crisp sounds and the two paintings exploded at the same time. Zuo Mo and Ding Fengchou had passed the test of the paintings.
The two of them were in a sorry state. After they came out, they did not say anything. They only looked at Xiao Chen with some astonishment before they started to treat their injuries with Chu Chaoyun.
Xiao Chen noticed that when they came out, the painting had already exploded into pieces. However, his painting was as good as new.
There had to be some unknown reason behind this. However, this was not the time to think about this. Xiao Chen gently pushed off the ground.
Xiao Chen quickly flew towards the halo above his head. There were no obstructions as he successfully broke through the layer of light. "Di da! Di da!
Di da! "
The pure Essence liquid fell unceasingly. This time, it took a full eighty seconds for Xiao Chen to completely pass through the barrier of the halo.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes. He could clearly feel the overflowing energy in his body. Not only had he completely replenished the Essence he exhausted earlier, but the size of the Qi whirlpool had also increased.
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face. This layer of light was sufficient to last him for two months of bitter cultivation.
Looking up, Xiao Chen started to size up the environment of the fifth floor. There was a mysterious door of light flashing in front of him.
Aside from that, there was nothing else in the fifth floor. The door flickered with light, and Xiao Chen's figure appeared in front of it.
In that blurry light, Xiao Chen wore long white robes. Eighteen Blue Dragons revolved around him as he stood on the summit of a boundlessly tall mountain.
Below the mountain summit, there was a crowd of people looking up at the person on the summit with reverent gazes.
Xiao Chen was slightly startled. However, he still calmly analyzed the situation in his heart. It seems like it can see a certain part of a person's desires.
Standing at the peak, receiving the respect of millions of people, immortalized for thousands of years. This was Xiao Chen's goal in pursuing the Martial Dao.
This test should be the test of desire. It was the same as the test of death on the third floor. This was the temptation of life, a test of desire.
Some people's hearts were as firm as a rock. Even when facing the pressure of death, they would not waver.
However, on the path of a cultivator, what was worse than death was desire. Death was a hard pressure, but desire was a soft knife to grind.
Without one realizing it, one would sink into it and be unable to advance any further. This was even scarier than death.
"No matter what, I have to face it calmly. Being able to reach this floor is already pretty good!"
Xiao Chen had a cautious expression on his face. He could not guarantee that he could face the desire calmly. He could only take it one step at a time.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen raised his leg and stepped into the light.
"Xiu!"
After Xiao Chen entered the light, Chu Chaoyun, Zuo Mo, and Ding Fengchou appeared on the fifth floor.
These people must have been rather anxious. When they saw that Xiao Chen had entered the fifth floor ahead of time and had only recovered from a small portion of his internal injuries, they rushed up.
