After Lin Heng killed the Returning Soul Bull Demon on the second level.
The blood-red bridge reappeared, taking Lin Heng to the third level.
Guarding this level is the Blood Evil Horse-Face, which stands a hundred meters tall.
It was entirely crimson, with a horse's face and a human body, and held in its hand a chain that was tens of meters long and as thick as a thigh.
Like the Returning Soul Bull Demon, the Blood Evil Horse-Face is a creature of the dead belonging exclusively to the Nether World.
When Lin Heng saw this behemoth, he wasted not a moment and killed the Blood Evil Horse-Face with a single sword strike.
After that, Lin Heng cleared all twelve floors without breaking a sweat.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Heng had already passed the fifteenth floor.
This puzzled him, so he asked Dijiang about it.
" Dijiang, why is this Netherworld Purgatory Tower so weak?"
"I cleared all fifteen levels in a row, but I didn't encounter the slightest danger whatsoever."
Such smooth sailing, ironically, aroused Lin Heng's suspicion.
Dijiang's voice soon echoed in Lin Heng's mind.
"Master, the first fifteen levels of the Netherworld Purgatory Tower only contain some relatively weak Netherworld creatures."
"The truly powerful ones are all on the last three floors."
Lin Heng's eyes lit up immediately.
Are the best ones yet to come?
That's quite interesting.
Dijiang continued:
"And the real strength of the latter three levels isn't actually in combat."
"The items on the last three levels are all unique."
Even the original owner nearly got trapped inside back then.
Dijiang's words piqued Lin Heng's interest even more.
Even Mu Chen almost stumbled?
He realized that Dijiang was deliberately trying to pique his curiosity.
But he deliberately didn't mention what kind of monsters existed on the last three levels.
Lin Heng stopped asking questions and, after looking at the blood-red bridge in front of him, stepped into it and arrived at the sixteenth floor.
I had just stepped onto the ground of the sixteenth floor.
A soft melody immediately filled the air.
Along with the music, there was also a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
Lin Heng felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and involuntarily closed his eyes, his body slowly collapsing.
The darkness lasted for less than a second.
Soon, light reappeared before Lin Heng's eyes.
In front of Lin Heng stood another person.
When Lin Heng saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, he was somewhat taken aback.
" Mu Chen?"
Lin Heng was somewhat surprised; the person in front of him was none other than Mu Chen.
But why is Mu Chen, whose last wisp of soul has clearly dissipated, here?
Countless questions flashed through Lin Heng's mind in an instant.
Before he could figure it out, Mu Chen's voice came.
" Lin Heng, it's been so long. I wonder how far you've come?"
"Now that we meet again today, I'll take this opportunity to test your abilities."
The tone of his voice was quite different from the Mu Chen that Lin Heng remembered.
However, before Lin Heng could even reply, the other party conjured a long sword with a flick of their wrist.
" Eternal Ages?"
Lin Heng stared in astonishment at the longsword held in Mu Chen's hand.
But when he tried to summon the Eternal Ages, he discovered that his connection with Eternal Ages had been severed.
Mu Chen, holding the Eternal Ages, looked at Lin Heng with a calm smile and said:
" Eternal Ages is my weapon; naturally, it will not acknowledge a second master."
Mu Chen appeared to be smiling and very friendly, but his tone was full of provocation.
Lin Heng shook his head upon seeing this, denying the other party's identity.
"No! You're not Mu Chen."
As soon as Lin Heng uttered these words, the spirit of the Kunpeng emerged from within the Eternal Ages.
When the Kunpeng spirit saw Mu Chen, it was first startled, and then quickly bent down and knelt down.
"Your subordinate greets your master."
Mu Chen maintained his smiling expression, nodded to the Kunpeng artifact spirit, and then looked at Lin Heng and asked a question in return.
You're saying I'm not Mu Chen?
"Could Kunpeng recognize other masters?"
Lin Heng frowned but remained silent.
His soul power is currently sealed.
Unable to use soul detection, there was naturally no way to distinguish the real Mu Chen and the Kunpeng artifact spirit before them.
Seeing that Lin Heng still had a questioning look in his eyes.
Mu Chen shook his right hand, which was holding Eternal Ages, Kunpeng artifact spirit transformed into a point of light and entered Eternal Ages.
Mu Chen then pointed the tip of the Eternal Ages Sword at Lin Heng.
"Do you remember when I taught you how to use Eternal Ages during the inheritance?"
A single sentence illuminated many memories in Lin Heng's mind.
At the same time, a surge of immense energy erupted from Mu Chen's body.
The moment Lin Heng saw Mu Chen flip his sword wrist, he retreated rapidly.
Mu Chen smiled faintly and shook his head.
" The Sword Moves in Eight Directions!"
Mu Chen thrust the tip of the Eternal Ages Sword into the ground with a sudden burst of power.
The sword tip plunged into the ground, and a violent aura, like that of an angry dragon charging, rapidly surged towards Lin Heng from the location of the sword tip.
Sword Qi surged from the ground, causing the soil to churn, and gradually approached Lin Heng.
Seeing this, Lin Heng raised his hands, parallel to his shoulders.
Eight-Colored Origin light appeared simultaneously on his palms.
Following closely behind, the eight Origin Cosmic Power centered on Lin Heng's palms quickly formed an eight-colored energy shield, protecting him within it.
The moment the eight-colored energy shield took shape, the Sword Qi released by Mu Chen arrived in front of Lin Heng.
However, the Sword Qi did not directly collide with Lin Heng's eight-colored protective shield.
Just as they reached a distance of less than ten meters ahead.
The Sword Qi immediately dispersed, Sword Qi into eight streams that surrounded Lin Heng.
'Boom boom boom boom!'
After the eight Sword Qi surrounded Lin Heng, they simultaneously burst forth from the ground, the deafening sound causing Lin Heng's eardrums to ache.
Eight Sword Qi shot out simultaneously, like eight angry dragons crashing fiercely into Lin Heng's eight-colored protective shield.
The violent impact caused the eight-colored shield to fluctuate violently, with ripples spreading out across its surface like flowing water.
This stalemate ended in just two or three breaths.
The Sword Qi released by Mu Chen broke through Lin Heng's eight-colored protective shield and then pierced through his body.
When the Sword Qi dissipated, Lin Heng, who had been struck hard, simply stood there, his body swaying slightly.
'Tap tap tap tap!'
Ahead of Lin Heng, footsteps sounded, and Mu Chen walked over unhurriedly.
But when he was about twenty meters away from Lin Heng, Mu Chen stopped.
"Did you ever imagine that one day you would be attacked by Eternal Ages?"
"This must feel terrible, right?"
Faced with Mu Chen's mocking question, Lin Heng's eyes gradually sharpened.
"Um?"
Mu Chen's smile froze, quickly replaced by a puzzled expression.
He couldn't understand why Lin Heng, who was clearly seriously injured and whose life was in his own hands, could still give him such a sharp look.
At this moment, Lin Heng raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then revealed a disdainful smile.
