Chapter 261 Entering the Third FloorThe land was shrouded in gray fog. Xiao Yun and his group sat cross-legged on the ground. Behind them was an extremely solid light curtain.
"Is this the entrance to the third floor? How did the energy materialize?" Zi Yan panted and knocked hard on the energy crystal layer, causing a banging sound.
"It has always been like this..." Gu Qingyang, who was lying on the ground, took over the conversation and continued, "According to the news within the clan, since the first time our eight clans came here, the light curtain here has materialized.
Countless years have passed, and the substantial energy in the light curtain still shows no signs of melting. I’m afraid it will always be like this in the future…”
After hearing Gu Qingyang's explanation, except Xiao Yun who already knew it, the other two were all surprised.
You know, the materialization of energy requires the condensation of a large amount of energy and the compression of it to an unimaginable degree.
But there is no strong pressure here. Obviously, this light curtain has been like this for countless years!
"It is indeed a place created by a Doudi master..."
"Alright, hurry up and recover your fighting spirit! It's not safe here..."
Xiao Yun interrupted the conversation and then waved his hand. The energy core that had fallen on the ground flew up and gathered in his hand.
After making some simple distributions, he snapped his fingers and three streams of light flew out, hovering in front of Medusa and the others.
“Don’t use the energy core to practice yet. We might need it when we pass through the light curtain later!
There is plenty of energy here, let's recover here!"
Xiao Yun waved his hand to stop Zi Yan from absorbing the energy core and said calmly.
He remembered that there was something called "ancient devouring insects" inside this light curtain, or in other words, this light curtain could be understood as the nest of ancient devouring insects.
Although these insects are small monsters, their number is endless. They devour everything and are extremely terrifying.
"Okay..." After hearing Xiao Yun's words, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense. After putting away the energy cores, they began to practice with their eyes closed.
"Huh!" Xiao Yun waved his hand, and a layer of strange fire protection appeared. He surrounded the entire place with strange fire. If a soul body approached for a sneak attack, he would be awakened immediately.
After doing all this, he sat down cross-legged and practiced in silence.
……
Fortunately, the souls that can live on the second layer are also quite intelligent. After seeing the messy ground in front of the light curtain, they realized that Xiao Yun and his group were not easy to mess with.
Until they fully recovered, no soul dared to cross the strange fire protection.
"Huh!" After exhaling a breath of foul air, Xiao Yun slowly opened his eyes and looked at the people around him whose fighting spirit was gradually recovering. He immediately stood up and waved his hand to take back the strange fire.
"Xiao Yun..." Zi Yan was the first to open her eyes after being awakened by Xiao Yun's actions. She looked at Xiao Yun, half of whose body had been submerged in the light curtain, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"I'm testing the pressure of this light curtain." Xiao Yun replied, and his body wrapped in the strange fire drilled into it. A minute later, he returned to the crowd.
“Although this light curtain looks substantial, its pressure is not that strong, probably only that of an eight-star Dou Zun.
Furthermore, my strange fire can restrain the energy crystal layer, and when the time comes, I will lead the way, and the pressure on you will be less."
"Will this consume too much energy?" Medusa asked worriedly.
"No, I have a Heaven-level technique that can quickly restore my fighting spirit. Besides, if it doesn't work, I can still borrow the energy of the strange fire."
"Since Brother Xiao Yun has made up his mind, let's go! If you can't hold on, I will take over immediately!"
Gu Qingyang said in a deep voice, among the four people, he had the highest cultivation level, and he should have been the one to lead the way...
"Well, then you guys follow me!"
Xiao Yun nodded slightly, then walked slowly in front of the light curtain. He snapped his fingers and a ball of pitch-black flame shot out and landed on the light curtain that had solidified into substance.
"laugh!"
There was no violent movement, only the sound of burning flames. Under the terrifying annihilation property of the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, even if the energy was materialized, it would gradually burn out a hole.
The pit grew bigger and deeper. When the flames died down, a small pit about ten feet in size and ten meters deep appeared on the light curtain. "Follow me!"
Seeing that the strange fire could actually restrain the energy crystal layer so well, the three people behind him flashed a look of surprise in their eyes, and then followed Xiao Yun closely.
The latter's entire body erupted with pitch-black flames, and like a drilling rig, it relied on the annihilation property of the strange fire to frantically dig into the crystal layer, and the hole it opened became deeper and deeper.
Perhaps because there was no energy storm, the ancient devouring insects in the light curtain existed but did not awaken.
Therefore, Xiao Yun’s pioneering work was not that difficult, and he shot out one black fire dragon after another.
Even though the energy crystal layer behind the light curtain was much stronger than the one in front, it could not stop everyone from moving forward.
"Oh!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard from the materialized light curtain, and then the energy crystal layer on the surface gradually melted, and a giant black dragon roared out.
"This third floor is indeed different from the first two floors!"
Stepping out of the passage, a dead silent grey land appeared in everyone's sight.
Compared with the previous two layers, this gray land does not have gray fog on the ground, and the vision has been greatly improved.
But there is still no end in sight, as if the third level of this Heavenly Tomb has no end.
"Swish!" Xiao Yun simply waved his hand, and a ball of energy appeared in his hand. Although there was no gray mist here, the concentration of energy was far beyond the previous two levels.
"Brother Xiao Yun, we have reached the third floor. I wonder where you are going next?" Gu Qingyang looked at Xiao Yun and the other two and asked.
"We are going to the tomb of my Xiao clan's ancestors."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyang showed an expression of astonishment on his face, and said: "Brother Xiao Yun, Senior Xiao Xuan's tomb is deep in the Heavenly Tomb!
There, it is very easy to encounter souls at the peak of the Dou Zun level. It would be fine if there were only them, but who knows, there might be a saint among them!
Moreover, they still retain their previous memories and can use their fighting skills normally! Except that they cannot leave the Heavenly Tomb, it can be said that they are no different from the fighting saints in the outside world! "
"Haha, I know this..." Xiao Yun smiled and responded softly.
Medusa and the other person beside him did not change their expressions at all after hearing this, and they remained extremely calm.
Xiao Yun had already told them both that there was a Fighting Saint deep in the Heavenly Tomb.
"Oh..." Seeing that Xiao Yun had no intention of giving up, Gu Qingyang was extremely helpless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although there is only one level difference between Dou Sheng and Dou Zun, there are more than a dozen small realms in detail.
Even though he has reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun level now, in front of a saint, even a half-saint, he can only run for his life.
"Okay, Brother Qingyang, don't worry. Dou Sheng strongmen are not that common in the Heavenly Tomb."
Xiao Yun stepped forward, patted Gu Qingyang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Do you want to go with me again? I have a feeling that the rewards from now on will be far beyond your imagination!"
Gu Qingyang looked thoughtful and thought for a long time before he clapped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Since Brother Xiao Yun has invited me, I can't spoil the fun. Let's go together!"
Although he said this, he actually had his own plans in his heart.
Although the energy on the third floor of the Heavenly Tomb is dense, the danger level has also increased by several levels. Xiao Yun and the other two all have the combat power of high-level Dou Zun. They can move forward together, and even a semi-saint can have the strength to fight.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Xiao Yun, he would not do something like committing suicide as a group.
Even if the other party was really impulsive and led them to encounter the soul body of the Fighting Saint, Gu Qingyang could escape with the life-saving treasure given by the clan.
"Okay! Brother Qingyang, you won't be disappointed!"
Xiao Yun smiled and called out to Medusa and the other two behind him. Then he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the third floor. Afterwards, Medusa and the other two quickly followed.
