#1017 - Extremely Cold Holy Spirit
Finally, he ascended to the seventh level of the Tower of Trials.
Arriving here, Jun Wuxie discovered that the seventh level was completely different from what he had imagined.
This level was not a small world of its own like the previous six levels, but an ancient hall permeated with the aura of time.
This hall had an area of a thousand meters, and the entire hall was empty.
Apart from a statue in the center of the area engraved with mysterious patterns, there was nothing else to be seen.
The statue was about two meters tall, very burly and strong, holding a battle sword, and awe-inspiring.
Jun Wuxie knew that this place was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there must be something hidden.
He activated his pupil technique to observe carefully, but could not see any clues.
The statue looked like an ordinary statue no matter how he looked at it, and he could not feel any dangerous aura.
However, the golden blood energy in Jun Wuxie's body was boiling.
The Taiji Star Sea was operating, and the Primal Military Solution was blessed, and his momentum soared wildly.
He stepped towards the statue.
As the distance got closer and closer, runes began to appear on the surface of the statue.
When his footsteps stepped on the ground covered with mysterious patterns, countless runes on the statue lit up, and the light was dazzling.
A powerful aura spread like a tide, and the battle sword in the statue's hand was filled with amazing killing intent.
Energy surged, forming a fierce wind around the statue.
It suddenly opened its eyes, and its body began to move, as if it had been given life in an instant, and it came alive.
Rumble!
The resurrected statue walked over with a battle sword in hand, and its powerful energy swept over like a mountain torrent, rumbling and impacting.
Jun Wuxie's eyes were slightly cold, allowing the mountain torrent-like energy to impact his body, his golden blood energy surged, and his body stood still.
This momentum was quite fierce. If other saints in the mythical realm came here, let alone fight, they would not be able to withstand the impact of this energy.
Tenth Heaven of the Mythical Realm!
After the statue came to life, Jun Wuxie's pupil technique saw through its talent growth intensity!
It was stronger than the ultimate boss on the sixth level, with a higher talent growth intensity, and its realm was on par with him, the perfect realm of the Great Celestial Saint!
In the field of talent growth, it was two levels higher than him.
"Clang!"
The battle sword in the statue's hand rang, and it slashed fiercely, the sword intent swept across the entire ancient hall, and the sword energy was sharp and unmatched, dazzling and piercing.
The still Jun Wuxie burst out at this moment, rushing forward to meet the sword energy.
Golden blood energy boiled, dragons roared and tigers howled.
A golden dragon and a golden tiger followed him, impacting the sword energy with their fist marks.
Rumble!
At the moment when the fist mark collided with the sword energy, the roar and the metallic tremor shook the hall.
The violent energy aftermath swept out like a terrifying wave, one wave higher than another, causing the space to vibrate continuously.
The Dragon-Tiger Force blessed by the Fighting Word Secret was evenly matched with the statue.
After dozens of head-on collisions in an instant, both sides retreated.
The statue's sword-holding hand trembled slightly, and the battle sword in its hand also made a sharp鸣响 sound.
Its eyes were cold, staring fixedly at Jun Wuxie.
And Jun Wuxie's hand was also slightly numb.
The statue's talent growth realm was higher than him, and the other party was also in a state of sublimation.
He relied on the four hundred and fifty times increase to be able to fight the statue head-on without falling behind.
Clang!
The statue suddenly raised its battle sword, the sword body drew an arc in the air, and slashed forward.
The battle sword instantly transformed into thousands of swords, as if countless battle swords were slashing continuously.
Under Jun Wuxie's feet, the River of Mortal Dust emerged, the waves rolled, and countless waves were rolled up.
The River of Time surged, setting off huge waves.
In the huge waves, hundreds of Mortal Dust Sword Qi rushed into the sky, blocking the sword Qi slashed by the statue.
The sword Qi of the two continued to collide in the air, the metallic tremor was endless, and the surging sword energy continuously surged in all directions.
At this moment, the statue's body disappeared with a whoosh.
Almost at the same time, shadows of the statue flashed in all directions.
The sharp and unmatched sword energy crisscrossed in all directions, interweaving into a dense sword net, attacking him fiercely with no dead angles in 360 degrees.
Under Jun Wuxie's feet, mysterious runes bloomed, and the Word Secret and the Imperial Word Secret were added to his body, making his speed extremely fast.
His body also disappeared, turning into countless shadows striking in all directions.
The Mortal Dust Sword Qi continued to bloom, colliding with the statue's battle sword.
The figures of the two flashed extremely quickly, and each flash appeared in a different position.
Because it was too fast, the sky was filled with their figures, forming a picture of countless figures fighting.
During the fierce battle, the environment suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.
All the scenes in the hall disappeared, replaced by endless void.
Above the sky, a piece of brilliant stars shone.
Between those stars, rune chains quickly appeared, connecting all the stars together, forming a star rune array.
Rumble!
The star rune array vibrated, and a large bow evolved inside, condensing star arrows, dazzling and piercing, locking him.
The killing aura of that arrow made the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Primal Rune Dao!"
The corners of his eyes twitched violently, and he was shocked in his heart.
This was a rune array constructed by the Primal Rune Dao!
He cultivated this path, and he would never be wrong!
How could there be a star rune array constructed by the Primal Rune Dao on the seventh level of this Tower of Trials!
Could it be that one of the owners of this tower was a Primal Rune Master?
He stepped on the Word Secret, preparing to temporarily avoid the edge, but found that in the surrounding void, mysterious rune energy was crushing down, greatly reducing his speed.
At the same time, the statue's battle sword was also attacking him frantically.
He had no choice but to sacrifice the Primal Sword Embryo, standing in place and waving the sword embryo to dissolve the sword Qi from all directions.
At this time, the large bow evolved from the starry sky rune array had already been fully drawn, and the starlight arrow was about to leave the string.
"Under absolute power, the Primal Rune Dao is useless!"
Jun Wuxie's body burst out with monstrous blood, and a demon statue emerged, its demonic power overwhelming!
His power instantly sublimated to four thousand and fifty times!
"Open it for me!"
His arms shook violently, and golden blood energy swept out, forcibly crushing the surrounding rune pressure, and at the same time waved his sword to slash the sky.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, ten thousand feet of mortal dust, three thousand floating worlds, the rise and fall of civilization, and other visions all appeared.
That sword, as if telling the epic song of time, wrapped in the great power of civilization and slashed on the starry sky rune array, destroying the arrow, and cutting off the rune chain connecting the stars.
The sword wave激荡 swept in all directions, instantly shattering all the stars evolved from runes.
"It's over!"
He waved his sword to崩灭 destroy the sword Qi attacking from the statue, and rushed to its side at a speed that it could not dodge, dragon roars and tiger howls, and blasted it away with a dragon-tiger fist mark.
The armor on the statue's body cracked under the bombardment of the dragon-tiger fist mark's overbearing energy.
At the same time, the surrounding void suddenly disappeared, and all the scenes instantly returned to their original appearance, and returned to the hall.
The statue crashed to the ground with a bang, causing the hall to shake violently.
Jun Wuxie's body followed and landed in front of the statue. Before it could launch a counterattack, the Primal Sword Embryo pierced its heart, nailing it to the ground.
At the same time, the battle sword in the statue's hand slashed, and when it was about to slash his neck, it was shaken away by a golden palm finger.
The statue's tiger's mouth cracked, and the battle sword flew out of its hand.
With a poof sound.
A strand of golden finger light pierced through the statue's eyebrows.
The whole process was done in one go.
The statue's body dissolved into light smoke and quickly dissipated.
A chill struck, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply, the familiar scene quickly disappeared, and the scene changed again.
The hall was gone, replaced by a world of ice and snow.
All around was a vast ice field, and in front was an iceberg with a waterfall cascading down.
This was a very strange scene. Everything here was frozen into ice, but the waterfall was not frozen.
The water flowed down like a Milky Way, forming a river, rushing and flowing into the distance.
"So cold…"
Jun Wuxie's body was shivering from the cold, and his muscles were frozen red. He only felt that his body was a little stiff.
He quickly found the source of the cold, and it seemed that all the cold came from the waterfall.
The flowing river water was clear and transparent, but it was extremely cold.
Jun Wuxie stepped forward and tried to put his finger into the water. The cold penetrated into his finger, and the piercing pain caused his finger to instantly condense a layer of solid ice.
Moreover, the solid ice spread rapidly, freezing his entire palm, and then spread towards his arm.
He hurriedly retracted his finger and tried to shatter the solid ice by circulating his blood, but he did not succeed, which shocked him quite a bit.
"This kind of cold is really terrible!"
He had to use the Six Yang Primal True Fire to melt the solid ice, but the flesh and bones of his palm were almost frozen.
"Trial taker, congratulations on defeating the trial guard of this level. This [Extreme Cold Sacred Soul] and [Extreme Cold Sacred Spring] are the rewards given to you. If you can collect the [Extreme Cold Sacred Soul], the Extreme Cold Domain will naturally disintegrate; if you can't do it, you can only be trapped here forever until you freeze to death."
Above the ice field, an old and deep voice sounded.
This voice was different from the voice of the Holy Spirit Stone Tower he had heard on the previous six levels.
"It seems to be another kind of ancient origin!"
Jun Wuxie looked at the cliff above the waterfall. The [Extreme Cold Sacred Soul] must be there, and the so-called [Extreme Cold Sacred Spring] should be the waterfall and the river water.
"This [Extreme Cold Sacred Soul] can be used to cultivate the source of ice in the Innate Sacred Body. It's a pity that Xue Lan and Yun Xi are not here. Such an origin is also what they need most…"
Jun Wuxie's mood was both excited and regretful.
He soared into the air and quickly landed on the cliff.
The sacred spring that formed the waterfall originated from a cold pool beneath a precipice on the cliff.
The surface of the cold pool was shrouded in icy mist, and the closer one got, the more terrifying the biting cold became.
Fortunately, he possessed the Six Yang Primordial True Fire, which allowed him to easily withstand this cold.
Reaching the edge of the cold pool, he stood silently for a moment, ultimately deciding not to venture deep into it.
The temperature beneath the cold pool was unknown, and rashly entering it would be akin to placing himself in an uncontrollable and dangerous situation.
“I'll cultivate here. I can sense the existence of the 【Extreme Cold Sacred Soul】, and I can also sense the source of cold emanating from it. It won't be too late to descend after my bloodline has fused with some of the origin of frost…”
He sat down cross-legged in front of the cold pool and began to circulate his Natal Star, generating a devouring force to selectively devour the origin of frost within the cold pool.
As the origin of frost entered his body, he instantly felt every inch of his flesh and blood freeze, and his internal organs and bones couldn't withstand it. He hurriedly used the Six Yang Primordial True Fire to resist.
Terrifying flames spread throughout his body, greatly reducing the terrifying cold to a level that his body could withstand.
However, a thick layer of ice still formed on his body surface, making him look like an ice sculpture.
Nevertheless, his flesh and blood were not destroyed by the cold, as they were protected by the Six Yang Primordial True Fire within his body.
He slowly devoured the origin of frost, integrating it into his bloodline, gradually developing bloodline runes within his bloodline that could bear the power of frost.
As time passed, his resistance to frost gradually increased.
During this process, his bloodline evolved, his physical body grew stronger, the golden blood energy within his body became more refined, and the intensity of his talent growth steadily increased, advancing towards the ninth heaven of the mythical realm.
…
At the same time, outside the Trial Tower, there was a scene of clamor and commotion.
Everyone looked up, shocked, at the seventh floor of the Trial Tower.
From the first floor to the seventh floor, dazzling runes of light lit up on each level of this tower.
Whenever someone passed the trial on a certain level of the Trial Tower, the corresponding level of the Trial Tower would light up with runes.
This had been the case in previous trials.
What was different this time was that the brightness of the runes on each level of the tower was far greater than in the past.
It was too dazzling, and the number of runes that appeared was many times greater than in previous sessions!
From the first to the seventh floor, the light of the runes soared into the sky, illuminating the area like daylight.
“The seventh floor is lit! Someone has reached the seventh floor and passed the trial on the seventh floor!”
Elder Yu of the Daqian Royal Academy was so excited that his beard was trembling, and the voice he uttered was also trembling.
In fact, the seventh floor had been lit for some time, but everyone had only just recovered from their shock at this moment.
“Princess.”
The human butcher, Fan Xi, looked towards the phoenix carriage with a face full of shock.
“Since ancient times, no one has been able to glimpse the secrets of the seventh floor. I didn't expect that in this session, someone would actually be able to reach the seventh floor…”
Princess Anning was both shocked and incredulous.
For many years, many young talents had tried to reach the seventh floor, but all had failed.
After the Daqian Royal Academy obtained this tower, they spent a long time trying, but ultimately failed, so the emperor bestowed this tower to the disciples of the four sects for trials.
“Who could it be? Is it a disciple from the three sects, or is it that Yue Wuxie?”
Princess Anning pondered to herself, feeling that Yue Wuxie had a higher chance.
However, she was still somewhat unable to believe it.
Yue Wuxie's talent growth was indeed very high, which was well-suited to the rules within the Trial Tower.
But could he really reach the seventh floor and become the first person in the history of the Daqian Dynasty to reach the seventh floor?
“The seventh floor! Finally, someone has broken the curse of being unable to reach the seventh floor!” A foundation expert from the Rising Sun Sect said with an excited expression, stroking his beard, “This old man believes that the person who reached the seventh floor is very likely one of our Rising Sun Sect's young talents!”
“Hmph! You really know how to flatter yourself!” A foundation expert from the Raging Flame Gate said with a sneer, “This old man thinks that the person who reached the seventh floor should be a disciple of my Raging Flame Gate!”
“Hehe, you all don't have to argue.” A foundation expert from the Violet Cloud Grotto chuckled and said, “This old man believes that the chances are higher for someone from our Violet Cloud Grotto!”
“Bullshit! Why do you think it's someone from your Violet Cloud Grotto? Can't it be from my Rising Sun Sect?”
“Hey, can't it be from my Raging Flame Gate?”
…
The foundation experts from the three sects began to argue over this honor, engaging in a war of words, and the quarrel became increasingly intense.
None of them were willing to yield to the others, each believing that it was a disciple from their own sect who had reached the seventh floor, earning this brilliant honor for their sect.
The people watching in front of the Trial Tower looked at them arguing so fiercely that the veins on their necks were bulging, and they felt very speechless in addition to being shocked.
Wasn't there also Qingyun?
“Why are you three sects so certain that it was someone from your sect who reached the seventh floor? Don't forget, there are also people from Qingyun inside. Why can't it be Yue Wuxie?”
Elder Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange as he watched them arguing endlessly.
In terms of talent growth intensity, Yue Wuxie was the highest among those who entered the tower for the trial this time, and the hope of reaching the seventh floor should be the greatest.
“Hahaha, Elder Yu, you don't know, that little brat named Yue has no chance of reaching the seventh floor.”
“That's right, those who think it's Yue Wuxie don't have to have this guess. That little brat named Yue is probably already a corpse, hahaha!”
“From the moment he entered the tower, the ending of that kid named Yue was already destined, without any suspense! So it can't be him, it must be someone from our three sects, and the chances are even higher for a disciple from my Violet Cloud Grotto!”
…
The experts from the three sects were all full of confidence.
“Why are you so confident?”
Elder Yu's face was a little gloomy, as he still wanted to win over that Yue Wuxie to help the emperor.
As a result, the experts from the three sects all said this, it seemed that they must have used some means to let their disciples deal with Yue Wuxie in the tower.
Seeing their confident appearance, Yue Wuxie was probably in a situation with only a slim chance of survival!
