Death Grip
Soon, the residual waves beside the Golden Copper Pillar gradually dissipated, and Xing Chen let out a sigh of relief from afar.
He thought to himself that it was fortunate he had run away quickly; otherwise, he would have certainly met a grim fate. While Xing Chen was secretly celebrating, he also felt a bit pained about the power he had painstakingly stored in the Thunderfire Divine Ring.
That strike was equivalent to that of a Soul-Searching Realm Expert, and it had been used up just like that. However, at least he had preserved his life, and the power of the Thunderfire Divine Ring could be considered fully utilized.
At that moment, a powerful Dragon Might suddenly emanated from the top of the Golden Copper Pillar. This immense pressure was extraordinarily strong, even surpassing the might emitted by the Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword.
"Is this the legendary Dragon Might? Truly formidable," Xing Chen thought, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. The overwhelming pressure nearly rendered him immobile. Nevertheless, despite this, his eyes sparkled with excitement because the treasures hidden within the Bronze Pillar were about to reveal themselves.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
On the massive Bronze Pillar, those recessed areas suddenly shot out beams of golden light that intersected in mid-air. The dazzling brilliance made Xing Chen squint slightly.
Wherever the golden lights converged, a book slowly appeared in mid-air. The several special locations that Xing Chen had sensed earlier in the Thunderfire Palace also revealed some elixirs, a Divine Weapon, and numerous rare treasures.
"That is..." After the golden light dimmed slightly, Xing Chen looked up at the book in mid-air. His intuition told him that this book was undoubtedly the best item within the Thunderfire Palace.
At this moment, as the golden light faded away, the book gently descended and was caught by Xing Chen.
"Five Elements Escape Technique!"
The four large characters on the cover caught his eye, instantly brightening his expression. He had been troubled by not having a good movement technique; with his rising strength, the Northern Dipper Star Steps had become somewhat inadequate. Even its strongest technique, Shadow Shift, no longer provided much assistance to Xing Chen.
Seeing this Five Elements Escape Technique at that moment filled his heart with immense joy.
"Now is not the time to cultivate; I estimate that Zhao Yiming and the others will be coming out soon. I need to leave quickly." Suppressing his urge to immediately practice this new technique, Xing Chen collected other treasures from the Thunderfire Palace before swiftly entering the next passageway.
This passageway was not as dangerous as the previous ones; it was quite ordinary. There were no chilling winds, no ice or fire, no puppets, nor any lightning or magma; it merely appeared to be an ordinary corridor.
Not long after Xing Chen stepped into the passage, Zhao Yiming and the others arrived at Thunderfire Palace, looking quite disheveled. At this moment, Thunderfire Palace had already returned to its original state, with the only difference being that all the treasures here had been taken by Xing Chen.
However, since Zhao Yiming and the others were unaware of this, their faces were filled with excitement upon arriving at Thunderfire Palace.
They had faced numerous dangers in Thunderfire Passage and lost countless Divine Weapons while exhausting the energy of the Thunder Punishment Sword Phantom. Now that they had finally reached this place, they were naturally overjoyed.
Yet, they still did not know that all the treasures in Thunderfire Palace had been taken by Xing Chen; otherwise, they would have surely spat out blood in despair.
"Quick, everyone look for where there are treasures. The Soul Devouring Refinement Technique should also be recorded in the later layers of Thunderfire Palace," Zhao Yiming said, unable to hide his excitement.
The others showed no hesitation and immediately released their Soul Power to search for treasures within Thunderfire Palace.
After a moment, shock appeared on their faces as they realized that under the sweep of their Soul Power, there was nothing around them. This made their expressions turn grim.
The reason they had gritted their teeth and sacrificed so many treasures to confront the Thunder Punishment Sword was because they hoped to obtain something here to make up for their losses. However, to their disappointment, there was actually nothing here.
"How could there be nothing? Could someone have gotten here before us?" Qiu Pengchi said with a dark expression. The others also looked grim; after putting in so much effort, to end up with such results would leave anyone feeling disheartened.
"There’s absolutely no way anyone got here before us. After all, only a few people entered; now besides the four of us, everyone else is already dead. How could anyone have gotten here first?" Zhao Yiming said with a furrowed brow.
"That may be true, but is it really true that there’s nothing here? Everything seems normal; there’s nothing out of place," Qiu Pengchi remarked with a slight frown.
"Alright, stop arguing. Let’s check again! Maybe we overlooked something just now," Zhang Mengning said coldly as he glanced at the two of them.
Meanwhile, after entering the passage, Xing Chen rushed forward without encountering any dangers along the way. This made him slightly puzzled; the previous passages had been increasingly dangerous, yet this one was remarkably safe. He couldn't understand why it was like this.
"Hmm? Is that light ahead?" Suddenly noticing a glimmer ahead, Xing Chen looked up and saw that he had indeed reached the exit. The smoothness of his journey made him somewhat incredulous.
However, Xing Chen was only slightly puzzled before charging forward again. After all, they had reached the exit, and Xing Chen naturally would not retreat. Since there was no retreating, even if they hesitated in place, they would eventually have to enter the next palace.
Thus, Xing Chen barely thought for a moment before stepping out of the passage and arriving at the next palace.
Upon stepping out of the exit, Xing Chen was almost instantly stunned. They had originally thought that entering through the passage would lead them to another palace, but this time it was different from the previous occasions.
What greeted their eyes was an endless expanse of yellowish desert, with fierce desert winds howling around them. In the distance, countless black tornadoes were slowly moving; these tornadoes were continuous, imposing, boundless, and overwhelming—describing them as blocking out the sun would not be an exaggeration.
Along with the wind came the swirling yellow sand, which struck against their body painfully. Just as Xing Chen arrived here, a mouthful of yellow sand was blown into their mouth.
At this moment, Xing Chen's heart was undoubtedly complicated. Just moments ago, they were in a palace tower, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a desert wasteland. The change was just too rapid!
Xing Chen thought angrily to themselves; however, even though they felt furious and frustrated inside, there was nowhere to vent those feelings.
"Forget it; it's a good opportunity to practice the Earth Escape from the Five Elements Escape Technique here." After standing dazed for a while, Xing Chen finally came back to their senses and took out the secret technique from the Five Elements Escape Technique.
“Five Elements Escape Technique, Earth Escape, absorb earth attribute Vital Energy, try to merge with the earth and traverse within it…”
Looking at the Earth Escape Technique from the Five Elements Escape Technique, Xing Chen began to slowly cultivate. Due to the thick yellow sand around them and the rich earth attribute Vital Energy, it was very suitable for practicing the Earth Escape Technique. Therefore, it didn't take long for Xing Chen to be able to use the Earth Escape Technique.
“Earth Escape!”
With a stomp of their right foot on the ground, the Earth Escape Technique was activated. A faint yellow glow flashed around them, and they suddenly disappeared from their spot, reappearing hundreds of meters away.
“Hm?” After consecutively using Earth Escape several times, Xing Chen looked up and noticed a black tower ahead. Their gaze flickered slightly as they moved and stepped into the black tower.
Upon entering the tower, the howling winds outside instantly vanished, and everything around returned to calmness.
Inside this black tower, there was nothing unusual—just an old table covered in thick dust that had likely been there for many years.
Xing Chen's gaze flickered again as he looked around, then proceeded to the next level.
The black tower had a total of three levels, but it seemed there was nothing here. Xing Chen wandered back and forth several times, still finding nothing. So, he moved swiftly out of the black tower and into the Desert.
"What exactly is this place? Am I still in that palace?" Stepping outside the tower and looking at the swirling winds and yellow sand surrounding him, he murmured to himself.
He even began to doubt whether he was still in the Golden Palace, after all, how could a normal palace have a Desert? This was completely illogical.
Just as Xing Chen was puzzled, a buzzing sound suddenly came from ahead. He looked up to see a mass of black clouds rapidly approaching him.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was countless insect beasts flying towards him. These Insect Beasts were pitch black, about the size of a fist, with a pair of thin wings that vibrated rapidly and sharp mouths with fierce faces.
Seeing them sent an involuntary shiver down his spine, especially with so many insects appearing at once, it was enough to make anyone feel uneasy.
Xing Chen spread out his Soul Power and discovered that each of these insects possessed strength not weaker than that of a Soul Realm Expert. With so many insects gathered together, even a Yang Spirit Realm expert might not be able to handle them.
"Hmph, they are truly seeking death!" Xing Chen sneered, slightly opening his mouth as the Thunderfire Pearl flew high into the sky. Then, a surge of starry Nine Thunder Fire erupted forth, sweeping towards the Black Flying Insects with overwhelming force. The Nine Thunder Fire carried terrifying heat and almost instantly surged into the swarm of insects.
The Black Flying Insects were ignited by the Nine Thunder Fire, producing crackling sounds as they fell to the ground in droves.
