C1094 Tenth Floor
C1094 Tenth Floor
"Haha, I want to train here."
"With the help of this rich Desolate Blood, my strength will be able to increase a little." Fu Feng was overjoyed. As his cultivation level became higher, every sliver of advancement became more difficult, not to mention after reaching Soul-breaking Stage, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to increase his strength by even a sliver.
Unless there was a massive stroke of luck.
According to Fu Feng's estimation, a few days of training here on the ninth floor was equivalent to more than a few years of hard work in the outside world.
Lu Chen had the same thought. The ninth floor was also a good place for him to train.
Without any hesitation, the two sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.
This cultivation session had lasted for five whole days, and both of their auras had increased a little. The originally strong Desolate Blood was now almost completely absorbed.
When Lu Chen opened his eyes, he found that Fu Feng was still immersed in his cultivation and did not disturb him. Although the Desolate Blood here was abundant, according to his own situation, the help in front of him was not that obvious. Only after a few days of training did his strength improve slightly.
"The 10th level of the pagoda, why don't I go to the last level to take a look?"
Lu Chen stood up and walked towards the tenth floor as soon as this thought appeared in his mind. However, just as he climbed the stairs, a terrifying pressure that was more than ten times stronger than the one on the ninth floor came crashing over like a monstrous wave. Lu Chen almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"What a strong pressure."
His body and cultivation became one, allowing his aura to climb to the peak. Only then did he manage to offset most of the terrifying pressure, but even so, every step he took was still very strenuous, like an old man slowly walking at dusk.
Lu Chen walked for a full hour on the seemingly short stairs before finally reaching the tenth floor.
"This is …"
Lu Chen couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. He saw the blood in front of him turn into liquid and slowly seep out from one of the beating hearts.
"Could it be the heart of the Wild Beast? This is the source of the Desolate Blood? " Lu Chen immediately came up with this conjecture. He understood why the higher level Desolate Blood was, the thicker the Desolate Blood was. All of the Desolate Blood flowed out from this heart, and the closer they got to the heart, the denser the Desolate Blood was.
Even if his heart was still beating, he was trapped by an extremely terrifying array, to the point where Lu Chen was afraid that from what he could see, this was an extremely terrifying killing array. If he went forward to trigger the array in his heart, it was very possible that it would activate, and the moment it exploded, not to mention an expert of Soul-breaking Stage, even an expert of Life And Death Stage would die from drinking too much.
"Young man, come quickly."
"Come here."
Just as Lu Chen was looking around, a voice suddenly sounded in his head, nagging him to move closer to his heart.
"As long as you obtain this heart, you will become the strongest person on the continent."
"As long as you have it, you will have everything."
"Hurry, destroy this array, take out this Wild Beast's heart."
Under the instigation of this voice, Lu Chen muddle-headedly walked to the front of the formation. If he took one more step forward, this killing formation would be completely activated.
"Quick, hurry up and destroy this formation."
The voice in his head was a little agitated as it kept urging him on.
This voice seemed to bewitch people, causing them to enter a strange state of madness.
The heart of the Wild Beast was within reach, but Lu Chen stopped in his tracks, and with a faint smile on his lips, he said: "Don't say that you are just a heart, even if you were alive, you wouldn't be able to seduce me."
"What?"
"Aren't you puzzled?"
The voice in his mind sounded a bit panicked. He didn't understand why Lu Chen had regained his consciousness. Was it the former who was pretending?
"Still not coming out?"
Lu Chen did not answer its question. Instead, he stared coldly in a certain direction. The Desolate Blood there was rolling in the air, quickly forming a humanoid shadow.
"How did you find me?" The figure formed from Desolate Blood asked.
"I noticed it the moment I entered the tenth floor."
"The heart of the Wild Beast is fake, and this formation is not some kind of killing formation, but an extremely strong sealing formation."
Lu Chen pointed out his finger and the heart of the Wild Beast in front of him disappeared like a bubble, while the array beneath his feet revealed its true form, revealing a sealing array covered in golden runes. What he saw just now were only illusions created by the mysterious man.
As the bubble image of the Wild Beast's heart dissipated, the entire tenth floor suddenly changed and became a pitch-black space. The figure stood at the end like a ghost, with blood spewing out of his feet, that was the source of the entire Desolate Refining Tower's blood.
"Tsk tsk, it's been so many years."
"This is the first time I've met an interesting kid like you."
That ghost-like figure smiled sinisterly, his eyes were as dark and profound as a black hole as he sized Lu Chen up and then said, "Brat, why don't we make a deal. If you help me open the seal, I'll give you a few drops of blood essence."
"You have to know that this so called Desolate Refining Tower's Desolate Blood was formed from a few drops of my blood essence. I'm afraid that if you took one drop, it would be enough to raise you to the Middle Period Of Soul-breaking Stage."
"You're telling the truth."
"But I'm not interested."
Lu Chen suddenly shook his head, making the mysterious man stunned. He didn't expect such a result.
"Brat, do you know what you rejected?"
"This master's blood essence is so precious that even the elders of your Human Clan are envious, yet you don't want it?" The mysterious man was flustered and exasperated.
In the past few thousand years, only a few people had managed to reach the tenth floor. Aside from this interesting kid that it had seen before, it hadn't seen another person. Now, another person had finally arrived, so how could it be willing?
"If I say I'm not interested, then I'm not."
Lu Chen glanced at it and said lightly, "If I knew that the so-called Desolate Blood was formed from the dirty blood essence on your body, I would have been too lazy to absorb it."
"Dirty!"
"You bastard, you're the dirty one!"
"Your Human Clan is the dirtiest organism."
The mysterious person scolded angrily: "If it wasn't for your Human Clan and those old men suppressing me here, I would be the first to kill all of you."
