Chapter 412 Thirtyth Floor, Killing People
The twenty-second level of the Tianji Tower has been successfully cleared.
However, there were far fewer disciples who cleared it this time.
Apart from Lu Yu, Ling Tianxin, Su Jin, and a few other powerful Gold Core stage cultivators, there was only one disciple left, known as Ji Kun, who was hailed as the strongest disciple below the Gold Core stage.
His strength was only at the peak of the Foundation Building stage, and he still had a long way to go before breaking through to the Gold Core stage.
So even if he were given a Tianxin Pill, he wouldn't be able to make a breakthrough.
During the battle with the Golden Armored Beetle just now, he was the first to launch a fire spell and achieved good results.
However, his spiritual power was greatly depleted afterwards, and he could only fight and retreat, eventually ending up within Ling Tianxin's attack range.
Because disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall in the Tianji Tower are not allowed to attack each other, even if he collided with Ling Tianxin's flames, he was unharmed.
This is the advantage of the Tianji Tower, it can truly prevent friendly fire.
So Ji Kun, who discovered this, found a safe haven and survived the attacks of the Golden Armored Beetle.
As for the remaining disciples, they were all eaten clean by the Golden Armored Beetle. Even Cui Tianming was left with only three beads after being gnawed on by the Golden Armored Beetle.
Two of the beads had already dimmed, like ordinary stones on the roadside.
But one bead was still emitting a faint light, looking extremely clear.
"Is this the Nine Stars Bead? This bead shouldn't have been destroyed yet, right?"
Lu Yu looked at the crystal clear bead on the ground and felt tempted.
This is a Heaven-ranked treasure, although it is only a part of it, it should still have a good effect, right?
Unfortunately, Su Jin poured cold water on him directly.
"Forget about it. The Nine Stars Bead is a treasure that the Second Elder has refined for many years. Even if it's not by his side, he can still control it. If you get it, it might end up harming you."
"I'll forget about it then."
Lu Yu quickly retracted his hand.
As good as this thing may be, it could bring endless trouble.
So it's better to prioritize one's life.
But while he didn't dare to pick up the bead, someone else did.
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Ji Kun walked up and picked up the bead.
"If you senior brothers and sisters don't want this thing, I'll keep it for now."
Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin glanced at each other, neither of them bothered to respond to him.
After this wave passed, Lu Yu and the others quickly took a moment to rest.
Ling Tianxin had killed a large number of Golden Armored Beetles and had consumed a lot of spiritual power. Su Jin had also exerted a lot of effort just now.
Only Lu Yu hadn't released any large-scale spells just now.
"I didn't expect that I could make it to the twenty-second level. Just thinking about it makes me excited. When I came to the Tianji Trial before, I could only reach the sixteenth or seventeenth level at most."
After resting for a while, Su Jin said excitedly.
Ling Tianxin was also in a good mood.
You should know that the rewards of the Tianji Trial are linked to the level. The higher the level, the better the rewards given by the Tianji Tower.
Of course, these so-called rewards are mostly cultivation techniques and the like. It wouldn't make sense for the Tianji Tower, a Heaven-ranked treasure, to put more Heaven-ranked treasures inside, right?
After they had all rested for a while, the next level of the Tianji Tower opened again.
Starting from the twenty-third level, almost every level would involve facing a single enemy.
Some of these enemies had extremely strong defense, while others had astonishing speed.
However, Lu Yu and the others are also quite strong, so with everyone's efforts, they quickly cleared the seventh level.
Until they reached the thirtieth level...
"The thirtieth level, legend has it that every ten levels in the Tianji Tower has a major challenge. I wonder what we will face next."
"Last time on the twentieth level, I faced myself. I had to defeat my past self to clear it. The thirtieth level is probably even more difficult than the twentieth."
Lu Yu, who had previous experience clearing levels, said.
He didn't tell the others about these experiences.
After all, even if he did, defeating oneself is not something an ordinary person can do.
"Defeating oneself is not difficult. Almost everyone who can reach this level in the Tianji Tower has some tricks up their sleeves. The problem is if the Tianji Tower doesn't play by the rules."
Sujin, who had access to many records of the Greedy Wolf Hall, knew that there were many trials in the Tianji Trial that were both laughable and frustrating.
Fortunately, they were clearing the levels as a group, which greatly reduced the difficulty.
The thirtieth level was about to begin.
Just as Sujin finished speaking, the entire trial ground suddenly shook, as if an earthquake had occurred.
"What's happening with the Tianji Tower? Could it be that the space inside is collapsing?"
Ling Tianxin, who wasn't paying attention, almost stumbled and quickly grabbed Lu Yu's arm.
On the other side, Sujin made almost the same movement, grabbing Lu Yu's arm to prevent herself from falling.
As for Ding San and Ji Kun, they were unlucky. No one went to grab them, so they could only lie on the ground to counteract the shaking.
This shaking lasted for nearly five minutes.
At first, everyone was panicking, but they soon adapted and there were no further issues.
However, when the shaking stopped, the group felt dizzy and disoriented, the only aftereffect of the ordeal.
After the shaking ended, Lu Yu shook his head and looked around. He discovered that the central part of the trial ground had sunk.
The place they were in had become a huge pit.
Looking up, they were now in a cylindrical hole. The surrounding walls were as smooth as mirrors, making it almost impossible to escape without special abilities.
"What kind of trial is this on the thirtieth level? Even the environment has changed."
Lu Yu looked at the altered terrain with a sense of foreboding.
"Don't speak nonsense. Good things don't work, only bad things do..."
Ling Tianxin held his hand to steady herself, but before she could finish speaking, she saw changes happening around them.
Instantly, her face turned pale.
"Toxic smoke! Is the Tianji Tower trying to poison us all here?"
Unknown square holes appeared on the surrounding walls, and green smoke began to gush out from these holes.
Although they didn't know the effect of this smoke, the green color easily made people think of toxic fumes.
"Gather around me, let's release our spiritual shields together!"
Lu Yu quickly pulled the two of them to his side and released a wave of spiritual power.
Indeed, the spiritual shields worked. The green smoke dispersed when it came into contact with the shields.
They were able to unite and release their spiritual shields, but Ding San was having a bit of trouble.
His strength had been greatly weakened, and his spiritual shield barely covered his body.
As for Ji Kun, who hadn't reached the Gold Core stage yet, his spiritual shield was useless and couldn't resist the erosion of the green smoke.
In just a moment, his spiritual shield had several large holes.
