The three of them headed deeper into the Rising Spirit Platform, Tang Wulin looking around curiously.
"Boss, what's the situation deeper inside? I feel like the further we go, the higher the soul beasts' ages get."
"The three Rising Spirit Platforms are connected. If we go deeper, we can directly break through the Beginner Rising Spirit Platform and enter the Intermediate Rising Spirit Platform."
"I plan to go inside and take a look. Fighting hundred-year soul beasts isn't very interesting," Chen Ye said with a smile.
His current strength was comparable to an average Soul King. Fighting hundred-year soul beasts in this situation truly held little significance.
"Oh, I see... Let's go then, Boss!" Tang Wulin's face showed some nervousness, as his combat experience was rather limited.
He could handle normal hundred-year soul beasts, but if he encountered a thousand-year soul beast, he felt he would only be a burden.
Chen Ye looked at Tang Wulin's nervous expression with a hint of helplessness.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have brought Tang Wulin along, as the latter's strength was relatively weak.
But the problem was, he couldn't tell Tang Wulin not to talk to Mu Xi casually.
The kid was already naive, and on top of that, he and Mu Xi had a senior-junior relationship.
If Mu Xi just said a few words, Tang Wulin might reveal his relationship with Gu Yue.
If Gu Yue's side was stable, but Mu Xi's side caused trouble, it would truly be a loss outweighing the gain.
"Wulin, you're my number one subordinate. I'm bringing you out today to broaden your horizons."
"I'll hunt a thousand-year soul beast for you later, and you can absorb it first."
"If you encounter a strong one, just run. We'll deal with it."
"Okay, Boss, I understand."
Tang Wulin nodded. The two of them chatted as they went deeper, while Gu Yue followed at a moderate pace behind them, her expression growing increasingly complex.
Due to her personality, Xu Xiaoyan was the first person who was willing to be her friend after she came to the human world.
And she had an engagement with Chen Ye. Normally, she should keep her distance from Chen Ye.
But every time she thought about distancing herself from Chen Ye, memories of the past few years would surface in her mind.
"We've arrived here, it should be the Edge Zone. Gu Yue and I came here before."
"That Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear back then was quite interesting."
Chen Ye smiled and stopped in place. He could already sense the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's location.
The other party must have sensed him as well and was rapidly approaching his position.
Seeing Chen Ye stop, Gu Yue subconsciously stopped as well, then felt a pair of warm hands placed on her shoulders.
"What are you thinking about, Gu Yue? We're going to the Intermediate Rising Spirit Platform, it's very dangerous."
"Those thousand-year soul beasts aren't that easy to deal with."
"Mm... Sorry, I was thinking about something else just now..."
"It's okay. If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. If I can help, I definitely will."
Chen Ye said with a smile and took a small step forward.
Simultaneously, the left half of his body was instantly covered in golden scales, his first soul ring lit up, and Golden Dragon Blast was instantly activated.
Compared to last time, this Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear had only just revealed its form when its mountain-like body was directly blown apart.
A large amount of spiritual energy overflowed, but Chen Ye didn't hesitate. He stepped forward and headed directly towards the Intermediate Rising Spirit Platform.
Behind him, Gu Yue and Tang Wulin followed closely. The three of them quickly crossed the Beginner Rising Spirit Platform and headed for the Intermediate Rising Spirit Platform.
"Warning, warning, you have entered the Intermediate Rising Spirit Platform."
"After death, your spiritual power will be severely depleted, and it may even affect your mind."
An electronic voice sounded in their ears, but Chen Ye paid no attention. He casually took a step forward, and a low dragon's roar echoed.
This dragon's roar was clearly meant to intimidate. Accompanied by the dragon's roar, two figures closest to them leaped forward fiercely.
These were two snakes, snakes covered in black scales.
Chen Ye had never seen this type of snake before, nor had he even heard of it.
But such creatures were normal in the Spirit Transmission Tower, or rather, in the Rising Spirit Platform, mixed bloodlines of various creatures were very common.
Due to the mixing of various creatures, the original soul beast compendiums had long lost their effectiveness.
Many mixed species' abilities were even unknown to anyone.
Looking at the two black snakes charging over, Chen Ye was unconcerned. These two snakes were around four to five thousand years old.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand. His third soul ring lit up, and his already immense aura reached a new level.
At the same time, he slightly raised his hand, and the Myriad Swords Diagram rotated slightly. The scroll unfolded, and dozens of cold, gleaming long swords on it flashed before being thrust out fiercely.
Several long swords pierced the black snakes. These long swords did not penetrate the snakes' defenses but severely slowed their bodies.
Chen Ye took a step forward, lunged, and grabbed. Dragon Claw descended, directly gripping the two snakes.
Terrifying blood essence vibrated outwards. The bodies of the two snakes were suddenly heavily wounded, and then he casually threw them to Gu Yue and Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. He abruptly raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, then brought it down.
The Clear Sky Hammer directly smashed and killed one of the heavily injured Black Snakes.
A large surge of spiritual power emerged, entering Tang Wulin's body.
Compared to the Beginner Rising Spirit Platform, the Intermediate Rising Spirit Platform's absorption efficiency was several times normal.
Tang Wulin's original Yellow Soul Ring had already evolved to purple.
Now, after absorbing another Black Snake of about five thousand years, his soul ring's age was transitioning from light purple towards a normal purple.
"It's not good enough, boss. I can only withstand four to five thousand years at most right now. This is already close to my limit."
Tang Wulin's face showed a hint of distress. Without the Golden Dragon King martial soul, his soul ring's tolerance limit had been greatly lowered.
"You absorb first. When you reach your limit, you leave directly. You don't need to worry about this place; Gu Yue and I are here."
"Yeah, absorb what you can and then leave. With the two of us here, you don't need to worry."
Gu Yue also nodded. The Ice Cone in her hand flashed slightly, directly piercing the Black Snake's head.
After the two of them finished absorbing, they headed directly towards the deeper parts.
Outside, Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes. Watching this scene, he ultimately said nothing.
He waited a while longer and then saw Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie leave the Rising Spirit Platform first.
The soul rings of the two had already been raised to a thousand years. They had reached their limit, so they left early.
After all, for many normal soul masters at the Two Rings stage, it was very difficult to raise their soul spirits to a thousand years.
It was precisely because of their good talent that they were able to raise their soul spirits to a thousand years.
As soon as she came out, Xu Xiaoyan was looking around. Then, she looked at Wu Changkong with some confusion: "Teacher Wu, why haven't Sister Gu Yue and Chen Ye come out yet?"
"Keep watching. It seems they've run into trouble."
