81: Clear Sky Hammer, Law of Force

Upon hearing his ancestor's command, Li Feihong immediately nodded silently and retreated to the side.

At this moment, Li Jun's heart was filled with excitement. If Xun Xiuyuan truly obtained the reward from the fifth floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda, it would undoubtedly play a crucial role in the human race breaking through the shackles of the Shattering Void Realm.

Subsequently, he became even more concerned about Xun Xiuyuan's progress.

Mu Long finally threw away the last talisman. There were fewer than ten monsters remaining in the arena. After a glance, he took out his weapon and charged forward.

Giving up at this point would have meant all his efforts were in vain. After nearly half an hour of tenacious struggle, he finally killed the last Illusory Beast.

"Congratulations, Mu Long, for clearing the fourth floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda! Your reward is a damaged Haotian Hammer, which contains a portion of the Law of Force."

The moment he received the treasure, Mu Long was ecstatic. Although the law was not very compatible with the Shadow Demon Clan, simply obtaining it was a success.

At this time, the external leaderboard underwent another significant change.

First place: Mu Long: Kills: 27, Ling Tian Pagoda Floors Cleared: 4.

Second place: Xun Xiuyuan: Kills: 8562, Ling Tian Pagoda Floors Cleared: 3.

Third place: Li Feihong: Kills: 36, Ling Tian Pagoda Floors Cleared: 3...

After seeing the changes on the leaderboard, Li Jun's expression shifted. Another reward from the fourth floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda meant that the Alien Beast Clan would likely produce another Shattering Void Realm powerhouse. The situation in the Abyss was becoming increasingly grim.

Seeing that Xun Xiuyuan's cleared floor count was still three, he subtly glanced at Li Feihong, who was standing to the side.

Li Feihong also noticed the changes on the leaderboard. Seeing his ancestor's gaze, he braced himself and said, "This Mu Long probably cleared it using a large number of talismans. His combat strength should still be inferior to mine. However, Xun Xiuyuan is relying on his own strength to kill, so it's normal for him to be slower."

Li Jun nodded after hearing this, remaining silent.

After seeing the changes on the leaderboard, Xiong Lie spoke again, "Mu Ying, I am willing to exchange one million soul stones with your clan for this Ling Tian Pagoda reward."

Mu Ying's attitude was very firm: "My ancestor told me to bring it back. If my ancestor agrees to the exchange, I will personally deliver it to the Man Xiong's territory."

Xiong Lie saw that the Shadow Demon Clan had already obtained the reward from the fourth floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda and did not want to fall out with them. If they were willing to exchange later, falling out now would cause him to lose the initiative.

Soon after, Mu Long's figure appeared near the light gate. Mu Ying instantly moved to his vicinity and brought him back to their camp.

Mu Long, having obtained the damaged treasure containing a law, didn't notice the awkward atmosphere among the four Shattering Void Realm powerhouses. He directly took out the damaged Haotian Hammer and handed it to Mu Ying, saying,

"Your Majesty, I have obtained the reward from the fourth floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda, a damaged Haotian Hammer, containing the Law of Force."

As soon as he said this, both Mu Ying and Xiong Lie's expressions changed simultaneously.

As Mu Ying accepted the damaged Haotian Hammer, he turned to look at Xiong Lie beside him.

However, Xiong Lie's eyes were not on Mu Ying at all; he was intently staring at the small, damaged hammer in Mu Ying's hand.

Xiong Lie spoke, "The Law of Force is incredibly compatible with our Man Xiong Clan. Whether it's our Po Kong Realm clansmen or myself comprehending it, there's a possibility of breaking through the shackles and successfully advancing. Mu Ying, tell me, who are you going to give this small hammer to if you keep it?"

Mu Ying knew when he comprehended the bronze lamp that the more Law power, the better, and the stronger the combat strength.

It wasn't as rumored on the Alien Beast Continent, that specializing in comprehending one law and reaching its limit was the strongest approach.

The Law of Force was also a very powerful law. Although it wasn't compatible with him, it still had great use. One million soul stones, while a lot, were not a significant concern at their realm.

Although some people, after very long periods of cultivation, had their mental strength, or soul power, break through the fifty thousand mark, leading to a surge in combat power.

However, because Mu Ying had broken through to the Shattering Void Realm by comprehending the Law of Life, his mental strength had already undergone one transformation and had surpassed the fifty thousand threshold.

Therefore, Mu Ying was not at all interested in the other party's proposal to exchange the Haotian Hammer for one million soul stones.

However, the Haotian Hammer was indeed incredibly compatible with the Man Xiong Clan. If he insisted on keeping it, the other party would likely not give up, and if it went to his ancestor, he would no longer have a chance to obtain the Haotian Hammer.

In desperation, Mu Ying said, "Xiong Lie, I don't need soul stones. Do you have anything else to trade, preferably resources that can accelerate my cultivation progress?"

Mu Ying was a Shattering Void Realm powerhouse who had achieved his breakthrough by comprehending the Law of Life. His mental strength had already surpassed the fifty thousand limit, which was why he could contend with late-stage Shattering Void Realm powerhouses with his early-stage Shattering Void Realm strength.

If he could obtain resources that would allow him to advance quickly, this Haotian Hammer was not something he couldn't give up. If his strength advanced to the mid-stage Shattering Void Realm, his mental strength might even increase further due to the Law of Life, and then he would be able to fight even peak Shattering Void Realm opponents.

Xiong Lie thought for a moment and said, "We have a rare treasure in our territory, a seven-colored lotus. After refining it, it greatly enhances the cultivation, physical body, and mental strength of a Shattering Void Realm cultivator. The first effect is excellent. As for whether it can help you break through, that depends on your accumulation."

Although he was reluctant, Xiong Lie still said it, because the Haotian Hammer was indeed too important to the Man Xiong Clan.

Upon hearing the name 'seven-colored lotus,' Mu Ying was already tempted, because this item was very famous on the Alien Beast Continent, but its production was extremely scarce.

The four major clans of the Abyss were second-rate minor clans exiled to the Abyss by the Alien Beast Continent. Such resources in the Alien Beast Continent would simply not be available to them.

Mu Ying looked at Xiong Lie and said, "Alright, the seven-colored lotus is acceptable. Then I will return to my territory and await Brother Xiong's arrival."

Xiong Lie looked at Mu Ying with disdain. He took out a seven-colored lotus from his ring and handed it to Mu Ying: "No need to wait that long, I carry the seven-colored lotus with me."

Mu Ying accepted the seven-colored lotus and then handed the Haotian Hammer to Xiong Lie.

Xiong Lie received it with a joyful expression and carefully placed the Haotian Hammer into a separate spatial storage item.

Seeing that the matter was concluded, Mu Ying, eager to return to his territory to refine the seven-colored lotus, said, "Since the ruins are over, I'll head back first."

Xiong Lie had already obtained what he wanted and completely ignored him.

The cloaked Shattering Void Realm powerhouse of the Otherworldly Ghost Clan said, "Over? What's over? There's still one human in the ruins, and he just passed the fourth floor."

Mu Ying turned to look at the leaderboard. Indeed, the leaderboard had changed again. Mu Ying, who was originally in first place, had dropped to second, and Xun Xiuyuan had once again returned to first place on the leaderboard.

First place: Xun Xiuyuan: Kills: 8562, Ling Tian Pagoda Floors Cleared: 4.

Second place: Li Feihong: Kills: 36, Ling Tian Pagoda Floors Cleared: 4.

Third place: Mu Long: Kills: 27, Ling Tian Pagoda Floors Cleared: 3...
