83: Cleared the fifth level

The moment the Artifact Spirit disappeared, Xun Xiuyuan immediately began the trial on the fifth floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda.

One thousand six hundred Illusory Beasts, resembling small milky-white puppies, appeared out of thin air.

The instant the Illusory Beasts appeared, countless soul attacks directly assailed Xun Xiuyuan's mind.

However, Xun Xiuyuan barely felt anything; even the soul stabilizing pearl rotated slowly as usual, showing no signs of accelerating.

Xun Xiuyuan was a bit surprised, thinking, "Is that all?" but instantly understood.

The main purpose of the Ling Tian Pagoda was to select disciples, not to kill trial participants.

The entry threshold was for Immaculate Realm martial artists, so the soul attacks only reached the Immaculate Realm level. With Xun Xiuyuan's mental strength nearing ten thousand, these soul attacks were inherently ineffective.

Furthermore, with the secret treasure, the soul stabilizing pearl, it was understandable that Xun Xiuyuan felt nothing when facing these soul attacks.

Having understood, Xun Xiuyuan no longer hesitated, immediately activating his state and charging towards the Illusory Beasts, with an aura as if the one thousand six hundred Illusory Beasts were already surrounded by him.

The Artifact Spirit, watching Xun Xiuyuan's actions on the light screen, was also stunned. Although each Illusory Beast's soul attack was very weak, over a thousand attacking together would make even the most talented person uncomfortable.

"It's really okay that you feel nothing? How strong is your mental strength? Has the Immaculate Realm already broken through its limit? Exceeded five thousand?"

It made the Ling Tian Pagoda's trial seem like child's play.

The Artifact Spirit also realized at this moment that a super pervert had entered this relic trial.

He muttered, "Ling Tian, this little fellow is not easy to fool. It will probably be very difficult to persuade him to avenge you, and you might even lose a Ling Tian Pagoda for nothing."

These Illusory Beasts were like long-range attacking monsters in a game, making them much more troublesome for Xun Xiuyuan to kill, but compared to the monsters on the first four floors, their defenses were weaker.

In the end, Xun Xiuyuan didn't even activate the Explosive Ignition Art, relying directly on the extreme speed of his wind cloud boots to chase down these Illusory Beasts. Since he couldn't take much damage, there was no rush; he took his time.

Just as Xun Xiuyuan finished killing them all and was resting on the ground, the reward notification sound arrived as expected.

"Congratulations, Xun Xiuyuan, for clearing the fifth floor trial of the Ling Tian Pagoda. You have received the Shattering Void-grade weapon, Flame Spear, which contains the Law of Fire."

As Xun Xiuyuan successfully cleared the trial, the outside world had already erupted.

Ling Jun, seeing Xun Xiuyuan clear the fifth floor on the ranking list, instantly teleported to Xie An's side without hesitation, and the two waited together for Xun Xiuyuan to appear.

Wen Ruyu also flew up, watching the four Shattering Void Realm exotic beasts opposite them, to guard against a sneak attack.

Wang Yonghua had no choice but to get up and fly to Wen Ruyu's side, also watching the opposite side.

Xiong Lie and the other three naturally also saw the changes on the ranking list, and the faces of the four beasts were incredibly grim.

Xiong Lie grumbled, "That Ling Jun's combat power can be considered the ceiling for the human race. The four of us have no chance to ambush that human. Do you have any good ideas?"

Mu Ying spoke again, "That human is not easy to kill. One of my soul attacks was actually endured by him."

Xiong Lie said in surprise, "There's such a thing? Your soul attack is probably the strongest in the abyss, right?"

Mu Ying explained, "It was just a single attack I left in a jade pendant, not a face-to-face deployment."

Hearing Mu Ying's words, Xiong Lie nodded, "That's good then. If your soul attacks were ineffective against him, then it would be big trouble. If we tried to kill him directly in front of Li Jun, at least three of us would have to stay behind."

The cloaked Shattering Void Realm expert of the Otherworldly Ghost Clan spoke, "Haven't you noticed? That kid hasn't come out at all. What does that mean?"

Xiong Lie stared wide-eyed at the light door and slowly said, "He really hasn't come out. Is that guy going to continue?"

"He cleared the fifth floor faster than the fourth floor, and he still hasn't come out. He must think he can challenge the sixth floor. The reward for the sixth floor will probably be even better. If a complete piece of equipment containing the power of law appears then, there will be a very high probability of a Quasi-God Realm expert appearing in the human race."

Gui Li, the cloaked Shattering Void Realm expert who rarely spoke, delivered a long speech, and although he didn't say it explicitly, the others understood.

Xiong Lie, who didn't like to use his brain, directly said, "Gui Li, stop analyzing. Just tell us what's the best course of action."

Gui Li, who was the cloaked Shattering Void Realm expert, slowly began to speak:

"Notify the Shattering Void Realm experts in each territory to quietly rush to this location. The moment that kid comes out, directly ambush him. The most crucial thing is to snatch his spatial equipment, or rather, his corpse."

The other three also felt that this was the safest approach and nodded in agreement, but outwardly, they remained calm, secretly notifying the experts within their territories to rush over.

Li Jun was also chatting with Xie An via telepathy.

"Old Xie, the little fellow hasn't come out, he's probably gone to the sixth floor. If he clears the sixth floor, the exotic beasts definitely won't let our human race smoothly take the reward."

Xie An also understood: "I've already had Old Lu rush over in secret. If it doesn't work, notify the other old fellows to come too. This opportunity is too rare, we can't afford any mishaps."

Li Jun nodded slightly and continued to transmit his voice, "I've already notified the Shattering Void Realm experts from Qiulong City and Flying Dragon City. Wang Family from Jiaolong City is here; you notify the Cui Family and Chen Family."

Xie An thought of the enmity between the Wang Family and Xun Xiuyuan and said, "Old Li, let me call the old man from the Chen Family. Although his lifespan isn't long, his combat power is fierce. As for the Cui Family, let's forget it. Xiao Yuan has a grudge with the Wang Family, and I'm worried it might backfire."

Li Jun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Wen Ruyu, seeing that the little fellow in the relic hadn't come out, directly descended to the ground and continued to wait.

Wang Yonghua's eyes constantly shifted, and he was thinking about something, which was certainly not good.

After Xun Xiuyuan entered the sixth floor, he directly called out to Qi Hun, "Old man, are the rewards all this junk? Are there any high-grade items?"

Qi Hun was no longer angry, looking at Xun Xiuyuan as if he were a pile of shit: "The rewards are all weapons containing the power of law. For the power of law to be integrated into a weapon, it requires at least a Quasi-God Realm or above artificer to achieve. Just like that broken knife in your hand, it cannot compare to these rewards."

Xun Xiuyuan, of course, knew these items were good, and he estimated that the old men outside were all waiting for these things, but these things really didn't seem to be of much use to him.

The Flame Spear contained the Law of Fire. Xun Xiuyuan examined it for a long time and finally discovered that the Flame Spear was a bit hot; other than that, there was nothing else.

Although Xun Xiuyuan's biggest gain in the Ling Tian Pagoda was exotic beast value, it would be even better if he could get other useful things for himself. It was like casting a net, whether there were fish or not, he might as well try.

"Artifact Spirit Lord, are there any rewards that I can use right now? These items containing laws don't have any direct effect on me right now."

When Qi Hun heard Xun Xiuyuan's address, his hair stood on end. This kid was truly shameless; he called him 'old man' just now, but now that he needed him, it was immediately 'Artifact Spirit Lord.'

But he still replied, "Not right now."
