Chapter 270: Puppet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the tree demons were destroyed, some geniuses unknowingly attacked the people beside them. Screams continuously sounded. Some cultivators were frightened out of their wits. They crushed the small tower in their hands and ended the trip in this Heaven Ascension Tower. In the end, 3,000 geniuses remained.

The entire fourth level emitted a dense bloody smell. Some female cultivators began to vomit under this pungent bloody smell.

In the path of cultivation, the weak were prey to the strong. No one was right or wrong, only strength was the king.

If Lin Xuan did not have powerful strength today, Ying Zhao and the others might have killed him. Or after killing these tree demons, his surroundings would not be so calm. There might be many prodigies who wanted to kill him.

“All cultivators who pass the fourth level will obtain a mysterious reward and automatically enter your spatial rings!”

Accompanying the machine-like sound, all the geniuses started to enter the fifth level. The dazzling sunlight made them a little uncomfortable. This place seemed to be a new world that was no different from the outside world. A sun hung in the sky, and the air emitted dense spiritual qi. It was three times the spiritual qi of the outside world. Even the plants that grew here exceeded everyone’s understanding.

Ordinary grass could grow like a tree, but nail-sized ants were as big as ferocious wolves. If they did not see it with their own eyes, no one would believe this.

Coming here, Lin Xuan discovered that only the little guy was left in his surroundings. He did not know where Beichen Lan and the others had appeared.

Looking at this unfamiliar fifth level, it did not look like the world inside Heaven Ascension Tower at all. This was clearly a complete small world. There were even natives here, and it was far from what the small world on the first level could compare to.

Lin Xuan discovered that there was still a crescent moon above this sun. Looking up at the sky, there was another sun and a crescent moon.

Two suns and two moons in a small world?

Lin Xuan started to not believe his eyes. He muttered to himself, “Is this really a small world?”

“Why aren’t there any instructions this time?” Huang Hao looked at Lin Xuan and asked in confusion. The artifact spirits of the previous four levels of Heaven Ascension Tower had given him hints.

“Let’s go. We will definitely gain something here.” Lin Xuan walked forward with large strides, and Huang Hao hurriedly followed.

After walking for a while, they found a cave and walked in.

After entering Heaven Ascension Tower for several days, his nerves had been tense. If this continued, it would be disadvantageous to his cultivation.

They had obtained many treasures in the first three levels. The two of them needed to settle down.

Lin Xuan exhaled a deep breath and sat cross-legged in the cave. He used the Purple Qi Breathing Technique to mobilize spiritual qi into his body and took out the obtained dragon tail, preparing to refine it.

In less than a moment, dense spiritual qi filled the entire cave.

As for Huang Hao, his breakthrough was a little interesting. As he ate spiritual fruits one after another, his body continuously emitted muffled sounds, and he broke through a realm each time.

Although Lin Xuan was not as easy as Huang Hao, there was no barrier when he broke through.

With the Connate Dao Body Saint Body, his comprehension of the world was increasing at all times. Before he reached the Soul Formation realm, he would probably not encounter any bottlenecks. The only thing he lacked was spiritual qi and combat experience.

If he wanted to, he could enter the Golden Core Realm in a short period of time, but that would cause him to lack knowledge of the realm and combat experience, causing his combat strength to fall to cultivators of the same realm.

Soon, a day passed. Many strange things happened on the fifth level of Heaven Ascension Tower.

When some cultivators encountered terrifying existences in the process of snatching the treasures, they lost the qualifications to train in Heaven Ascension Tower and were sent out.

Some cultivators even died without knowing how.

Later, a prodigy of a large family clan said that there was something strange about Heaven Ascension Tower. According to the family records, the fifth to eighth levels of Heaven Ascension Tower were never fixed. Every time Heaven Ascension Tower opened, the four levels would be different.

Each level of Heaven Ascension Tower was a separate small world. The fifth to eighth levels had a special connection. This time, it was very likely that the four levels had combined together. At the same time, it explained why the fifth level had two suns and two moons.

It could only be explained in this way.

According to the trajectory of the sky, the moon furthest from them should be the eighth level. The two moons and the sun in the middle were the sixth and seventh levels. After passing through, they would enter the ninth level.

The fourth level looked extremely calm, but it was even more dangerous than the fourth level. Everything you came into contact with here could become a fatal factor that eliminated you. You had to maintain a high level of vigilance at all times.

Boom! With a loud sound, the cave where Lin Xuan was shattered. He continuously coughed and walked out with a dusty face.

Originally, the process of refining the dragon tail was quite smooth, but who knew that this dragon tail contained a trace of the five-clawed golden dragon’s mark, turning into a hundred thousand feet tall phantom. It looked at him and suddenly asked, “Who are you?”

These three words almost scared Lin Xuan to death, but it was a blessing in disguise. He obtained the inheritance of the dragon race, the Dragon King Overlord Body.

The two of them walked along the sun in the sky. Other than that, there was nothing else they could do.

The two of them had entered for several days and did not see a single person. The artifact spirit of Heaven Ascension Tower did not give them any hints. The two of them ran around like headless flies.

At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped and pulled the little guy back. The place where they were standing earlier immediately exploded, making Lin Xuan’s pupils contract. Looking at the power of the explosion, it was at least the power of the peak of the Circulation Sea. The people who came in did not seem to have reached this level.

“What is this strange thing?” The little guy looked at the black shadow that appeared and asked. He looked at the black shadow in front of him and moved again. Lin Xuan and the other guy attacked from both sides and hit his waist. It emitted cracking sounds, making the two of them stunned. The black shadow in front of them turned into a pile of scrap metal.

“Puppet!” Lin Xuan exclaimed.

No wonder he did not sense the surrounding vitality. It was actually a Circulation Sea Realm puppet. However, it had existed for too long and could not even withstand their ordinary punch before being crippled.

Lin Xuan finally knew what the strange thing the little guy was talking about was.

In ancient times, the art of puppets was as popular as alchemists. It was a branch of array formations. They carved array patterns in special materials, wiped out the demon soul’s intelligence, and gathered it with the puppet. By giving specific orders, it was equivalent to a free helper.

There was a puppet sect that carved puppets that exceeded the Tribulation Transcendence realm. The Foundation Establishment disciples of the puppet sect were respected by countless people in the mortal world, and people were afraid of offending them.

If they casually threw out a Tribulation Transcendence realm puppet, wouldn’t that be courting death?

Unfortunately, this puppet was already broken.. Otherwise, he could still study it.
