Chapter 87: The Fourth Layer, The Fifth Layer
The corners of Ling Xue’s mouth gently curled into a faint smile.
Even I can’t unlock this barrier on the fourth layer. Only someone in the Extreme Martial Three Realms or above can do so, yet this little fragment can open it with ease.
The origin of this fragment must be far from ordinary!
With this little item, I can unlock some treasures that should have been out of my reach in advance!
Ling Xue let out a soft breath, then leaped into the fourth layer.
Let’s see what lies in here.
As Ling Xue entered the fourth layer, he arrived in a brand new world.
Inside, it was full of radiant starlight, brilliant and dazzling!
It made one feel as if they were standing in the middle of the Milky Way, vast and magnificent.
At that moment, amidst the galaxy, a gigantic dragon was swimming through the stars, as if it were the ruler of this cosmic river.
This dragon was entirely light blue, with scales that emitted a faint glow beneath its skin.
Ling Xue could tell that this was a creature from the void—a Void Dragon.
And that Void Dragon, of course, sensed Ling Xue’s presence.
Its enormous body swam over, and a pair of dragon eyes, glowing with void energy, fixed on the tiny figure of Ling Xue, who seemed no bigger than an ant.
“Extreme Martial First Realm?”
Its deep, rough voice echoed.
It seemed puzzled—how did someone with the strength of the Extreme Martial First Realm make it here?
If Ling Xue had the power to come here, did that mean he possessed the strength to rival the dragon?
Did he have the ability to take the ancient tower’s mark from its grasp?
“Void power?”
Ling Xue chuckled lightly and said, “I imagine… you’ve been locked up here for quite some time.”
“Are you… the current master of this ancient tower?” The Void Dragon’s rough voice rang out again.
Ling Xue nodded faintly.
“Hmph!” The Void Dragon let out a half-smile, staring at Ling Xue in surprise.
It seemed taken aback that the master of the Shura Inferno Tower was only in the Extreme Martial First Realm.
And this Extreme Martial First Realm individual had somehow reached the fourth layer!
“Who was it that locked you in here?” Ling Xue asked again.
“Who? Of course, it was a human from your race!” The Void Dragon replied in a deep voice.
From its tone, Ling Xue could conclude that it wasn’t the white-robed woman with blood-red eyes who had imprisoned Qing’er.
So, the people who locked up these void creatures and foreign demons inside the Shura Inferno Tower must have varied?
“I can grant you freedom!” Ling Xue continued.
“Freedom? Ha ha ha ha…”
The Void Dragon suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Its gigantic body circled Ling Xue.
Its enormous eyes stared at him again: “Your so-called freedom… is just asking me to become your slave, right? From this cage, into another one?”
“At least the other cage is much larger!” Ling Xue smiled faintly.
“Hahahahaha! Larger?”
The Void Dragon roared with laughter: “When you’re bound by chains, what good is a wider world?”
“I can promise, as long as you serve me, I won’t restrict your freedom!” Ling Xue’s blood-red eyes stared at the Void Dragon.
“Hmph, serve you? Become your servant?”
The Void Dragon sneered coldly: “Do you think… you’re worthy?”
Whoosh!
Just as the words left its mouth, its gigantic claw came crashing down toward Ling Xue.
Swoosh!
In that instant, the blood-red fragment hovering beside Ling Xue shot out violently.
And then… it pierced right through the massive dragon claw.
The thick scales, imbued with formidable void power, seemed like mere air in front of this tiny fragment as it passed right through!
Accompanied by a flow of void blood, the Void Dragon halted its attack.
“Oh? No wonder you could get in here!”
It stared in surprise at its pierced claw.
It hadn’t expected its powerful defenses to be completely ignored.
“You still have a choice,” Ling Xue’s voice echoed.
If the dragon was willing to submit to him, he would certainly treat it well.
But if the dragon resisted until the end, then… it would have no future!
The Void Dragon’s massive eyes locked onto Ling Xue.
It remained silent.
Although Ling Xue was only in the Extreme Martial First Realm, his methods seemed far from simple.
If I truly fought him, it probably wouldn’t benefit much.
Besides, even if I killed Ling Xue, what would that change?
It would still be trapped here.
With that thought, its massive body turned, swimming away into the galaxy: “I don’t necessarily need to leave here, and don’t even think about making me your slave!”
I would rather stay imprisoned than become a slave.
After all, even if I escaped to the outside world, I had no friends or family waiting for me.
Ling Xue watched as the Void Dragon swam away and said nothing more.
Forcing a fight at this moment would do neither side any good.
So, he decided to let it be for now.
He could deal with it later.
With that, Ling Xue took the sharp fragment and shot upward.
In the endless galaxy, the Void Dragon’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Does he want to go to a higher level?
Can he reach a higher layer?
Under its curious gaze, Ling Xue soon arrived at the entrance to the fifth layer.
Then, the blood-red fragment shot out.
Sure enough, the barrier at the entrance to the fifth layer was easily pierced as well.
At that moment, the Void Dragon’s gaze changed slightly. Who exactly is this man?
What is the origin of that fragment in his hand?
After opening the entrance to the fifth layer, Ling Xue leaped forward.
Then, he arrived in another new world!
Inside, it was pitch black.
In the darkness, there were countless chains, big and small, everywhere.@@novelbin@@
Nothing else.
As far as the eye could see, all the way to the horizon, there were chains.
It seemed as if this boundless space was entirely made of chains.
Ling Xue gazed into the depths of this space, and then he saw the being locked in the fifth layer.
It was a shadowy figure, roughly humanoid.
Its entire body was enveloped in black mist.
It had no face, only a pair of glowing void-like eyes shining through the mist.
Moreover, chains pierced through its entire body, binding it from head to toe.
When Ling Xue saw this void shadow, his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the fourth and third layers below, the Void Dragon and Qing’er had only been imprisoned.
But this shadow in the fifth layer wasn’t just imprisoned—it was bound and suppressed by countless chains!
This void shadow must be far from ordinary.
At that moment, the shadow’s glowing eyes fixed on Ling Xue.
It said nothing, simply watching him quietly.
There was no reaction of surprise, like the Void Dragon below, to Ling Xue’s presence here.
Ling Xue’s blood-red eyes studied the void shadow, hanging there in mid-air, bound by chains.
His instinct told him that this shadow, though locked in the fifth layer, was not necessarily less significant than those in the higher layers.
After a moment, Ling Xue withdrew his gaze and shot upward toward the sixth layer without a word.
That void shadow didn’t react either!
