The Ninth Floor at the Pagoda's Summit: A Mysterious Man

Countless Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters, attracted by the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, rushed in. The sheer number of them horrified Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling, who turned and ran towards the Second Layer. However, there was a Restriction Barrier at the entrance of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda. Zhuge Xiang felt as if he had passed through a layer of clear water without any hindrance, but Xiao Yue, which was originally on his shoulder, fell off. Lu Yuling was also Restriction Barrier.

Zhuge Xiang tried it and found that he could enter and exit without any problems, but Lu Yuling couldn't. Zhuge Xiang suddenly realized that the Restriction Barrier of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda required the comprehension of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound to pass through. No wonder the murals said that the Evil Suppressing Pagoda actually left a glimmer of hope for these suppressed Evil Demon. As long as they could comprehend the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound and understand Buddhist principles, they could leave.

Thump... thump... thump...

Hundreds of Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and monsters swarmed in. Just as Zhuge Xiang was about to disregard everything and unleash the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound once more, the entire Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda suddenly trembled slightly. At the same time, a series of deep and heavy bell sounds rang out. The deep bell sounds were like a sudden awakening, and the holy and pure Buddhist Power inside the pagoda was suddenly activated.

All the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters that rushed in excitedly screamed in pain under the pure and holy Buddhist Power of the Buddha. Some were directly suppressed and turned into statues, bound by Chains. Others fared even worse, their screams echoing as they were reduced to ashes by the surging and holy Buddhist Power.

Although many demons and Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters rushed in, the Buddhist Power within the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda seemed inexhaustible. As long as one dared to rush in, it would be directly suppressed or destroyed. Standing at the entrance of the stairs leading to the Second Layer, Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling could clearly see that there were more and more sculptures on the first floor, and the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters outside the door were still fearlessly rushing in.

Kerala...

Seeing how powerful the Treasure Pagoda was, Zhuge Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, immediately afterward, a series of fine sounds arose, and many of the sculptures on the first floor began to crack. The entire Treasure Pagoda began to shake, especially as the cracks on the sculptures multiplied.

"Oh no! This Treasure Pagoda is very powerful, but it has been left in the Asura Purgatory Diagram for a hundred years without any spiritual energy replenishment. With these demons rushing in, the Treasure Pagoda's spiritual energy is almost completely exhausted," Xiao Yue's voice cried out in alarm as she stood on Zhuge Xiang's shoulder again, within her Divine Sense.

Although the Lingbao is powerful and can absorb the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth to replenish itself, after suppressing so many demons and being thrown into the Asura Purgatory Diagram, the spiritual energy of this Treasure Pagoda is already exhausted.

The spiritual energy of the Lingbao was about to be exhausted, and the effect of the Restriction Barrier between the first and Second Layer was also greatly weakening. The light membrane of the first layer flickered, and it looked like the demons that had been suppressed in the first layer were about to break free. Zhuge Xiang led Lu Yuling to forcefully pass through the Restriction Barrier and run up the Treasure Pagoda.

The Restriction Barrier has been weakened, and although Lu Yuling is a disciple of the Demonic Sect, she has not cultivated demonic Cultivation Technique and her demonic nature is not strong, so the Restriction Barrier is not very effective against her.

The Second Layer is similar to the First Layer, only smaller in size. There are far fewer sculptures here than on the First Layer, but judging from their appearance, they are clearly more powerful. However, like the First Layer, these sculptures are also beginning to show cracks, densely packed...

They didn't even have time to look at the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram on the Second Layer. Zhuge Xiang, along with Lu Yuling and Xiao Yue, continued running up the upper levels of the Treasure Pagoda. In his Divine Sense, the faint calling voice was still there. Zhuge Xiang also wanted to see what was on the top level of the Treasure Pagoda.

Third Layer, Fourth Layer, Fifth Layer...

Zhuge Xiang, along with his companion and beast, traveled tirelessly. The higher they went, the fewer demon sculptures there were, but their cultivation levels increased. When they reached the Fourth Layer, Zhuge Xiang even saw a Zombie sculpture covered in fine hair —Hairy Zombie Zombie, comparable to Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator.

Continuing upwards, besides the Hairy Zombie, there are also sculptures of Fairy and Evil Ghost. These are all comparable to the Deity Transformation stage. Up to the Eighth Layer, there are only nine sculptures suppressed here, but the images of these sculptures are terrifying.

A Zombie with Bone Wings on its back and long fangs was awe-inspiring. A terrifying and dense Corpse Qi emanated from the cracks in the sculpture, causing Lu Yuling's expression to change drastically. She exclaimed in a low voice, "The Corpse King!"

A burly man, his face contorted with rage, appeared to be roaring at the sky. However, his thick tiger tail revealed that he was not a true human, but Demon Monster tiger capable of transforming into human form.

Corpse King, Demon Monster, Asura King, Ghost King...

The nine sculptures were all covered in cracks, and a terrifying aura emanated from them. These nine statues were none other than beings with strength comparable to Void Realm Great Expert, figures standing at the very top of the Cultivation World. If they were to break free from their seals, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Let's go, let's continue up..." Although the power of the sculpture on the Eighth Layer was awe-inspiring, Zhuge Xiang could feel that the call from the depths of his heart was very clear, coming from upstairs, that is, from the Ninth Layer of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda!

"Go up again!?" Lu Yuling looked at Zhuge Xiang with her bright eyes. The being suppressed on the Eighth Layer was already so powerful. How strong would the Ninth Layer be? To be honest, even Lu Yuling felt a trace of fear in her heart.

"Of course, we've come this far, how can we turn back?" Nodding matter-of-factly, Zhuge Xiang strode towards the Ninth Layer of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda without the slightest hesitation.

Lu Yuling sighed softly. In any case, Zhuge Xiang was better than her in terms of courage and decisiveness. The nine statues on the Eighth Layer were about to shatter. Lu Yuling followed Zhuge Xiang directly to the Ninth Layer.

At the entrance of the building, Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling finally stepped onto the Ninth Layer of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda. However, upon seeing the scene on the Ninth Layer, both of them stopped in their tracks. Zhuge Xiang Lu Yuling's eyes widened as if she had seen something unbelievable.

At the main gate of the Asura Sect Headquarters, the place was already bustling with noise and discussion. The second round of the Inner Sect Selection Trial was being held in this Asura Purgatory Diagram. Although more than twenty days had passed, many people were still curious and stood at the gate to watch. The riot of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The Evil Suppressing Pagoda is located at the bottom of the lake, so it cannot be seen from the outside. However, whether it is Fierce Spirit, Monster Beast, or even many disciples participating in the assessment, they all gather at the lakeside and then go deep into the lake. Hundreds and thousands of them riot, despite the large size of the Asura Purgatory Diagram, are still very eye-catching.

Beside the Asura Purgatory Diagram, a man Artifact Flight, hovering in mid-air. He was one of the examiners. Originally, he only needed to wait quietly for the one-month period to pass before all the disciples who participated in the assessment came out. However, unexpectedly, such a problem arose.

Although the assessment was extremely dangerous and death was common, they would not interfere with its progress because of that. However, this riot was rather strange, and they dared not act on their own. The Deity Transformation stage man flew directly towards the Artifact Flight Floating Mountain, needing to consult with the Sect elders.

At this moment, the Evil Suppressing Pagoda was in complete chaos. Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters continued to rush into the tower, and many disciples participating in the assessment were killed by Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters in the chaos. Such a riot made many disciples who had been attracted dare not go forward, but just lingered by the lake, watching what would happen.

On the Ninth Layer of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

On the Ninth Layer stone wall, there is another picture of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. However, there is no statue here, only a man, about thirty years old, sitting cross-legged, shirtless. His well-proportioned body is not muscular, but it gives people a feeling of containing infinite power.

Before the man was a Giant Sword over ten feet long, but Giant Sword was broken and looked destroyed. Nine thick Chains tightly bound the man, who was quietly playing with a palm-sized Tortoise Shell in his hand.

The man's eyes were actually open, looking at Zhuge Xiang and the other person with great interest. Unlike the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters suppressed in the Ninth Layer below, this man had not turned into a statue and had preserved his consciousness.

"You've finally arrived..." As if he had been waiting for this, the Mysterious Man's gaze fell on Zhuge Xiang, and after examining him for a moment, he spoke.
