Chapter 198: Passing the Level

A giant red python spat out a house-sized fireball. A massive azure eagle flapped its wings, sending dozens of azure light blades flying towards Wang Changsheng.

Three high-grade second-tier demonic beasts attacked from different directions.

Wang Changsheng's body flickered, splitting into seven identical figures, each with the same aura.

A series of thunderous explosions rang out, and three of the Wang Changsheng figures were shattered.

Wang Changsheng took out a white short ruler, cast a protective shield on himself, and simultaneously released nine second-tier puppet beasts, including a mid-grade second-tier tiger-shaped puppet.

Of the nine second-tier puppet beasts, six flying puppets were assigned to deal with the two demonic birds, while two spider puppets and the tiger-shaped puppet confronted the red python.

He intended to leverage his strengths. If the nine second-tier puppet beasts couldn't handle the three demonic beasts, it wouldn't be too late for him to intervene.

The six flying puppet beasts lunged towards the silver giant eagle and the azure giant eagle. Each of the two spider puppet beasts shot out a silk strand, and the tiger-shaped puppet leapt up, pouncing on the red python.

Seeing the six flying puppet beasts approaching, the silver giant eagle opened its mouth and spewed several thick silver lightning bolts, striking the foremost raven puppet. The azure giant eagle fiercely flapped its wings, unleashing several ten-foot-long giant wind blades.

The raven puppet's wing was struck by the silver lightning, immediately emitting black smoke and developing two fist-sized holes. Its speed abruptly slowed, and it swayed precariously, appearing as if it could fall at any moment.

Several giant wind blades flew over, cutting into the wing that had been struck by lightning. The wing broke off, and the raven puppet plummeted from the sky.

Lightning spells possess great destructive power. With two high-grade second-tier demonic beasts working together, the raven puppet, being only a low-grade second-tier puppet, was naturally no match.

This raven puppet could be repaired and reused, but for now, it had lost its combat effectiveness.

In a single encounter, a low-grade second-tier puppet beast lost its combat effectiveness. No wonder no one could pass the sixth level.

Other challengers, unlike Wang Changsheng, did not possess so many second-tier puppet beasts.

Wang Changsheng quickly commanded the five remaining flying puppet beasts to scatter and launch ranged spell attacks at the two demonic birds.

He needed to quickly eliminate the red python, then focus all his efforts on the two demonic birds.

The tiger-shaped puppet opened its mouth and shot out an arm-thick red light beam, striking the red python. The red python let out a wail.

The spider puppet beast sprayed a large amount of white silk, entangling the red python.

However, the red python quickly opened its mouth and spewed a large area of crimson flames, which rapidly incinerated the white silk.

The tiger-shaped puppet beast pounced in front of the red python, raising its massive claws to strike it.

The red python opened its gaping maw, biting the tiger-shaped puppet's head and simultaneously coiling around its entire body, constricting it with force.

Seizing this opportunity, Wang Changsheng took out his Dark Ice Banner and waved it vigorously. A massive surge of white chilling mist erupted, freezing both the red python and the tiger-shaped puppet.

With a loud crash, a black eagle puppet's left wing broke, and it plummeted from mid-air.

The silver giant eagle flapped its wings, sending a dozen fist-sized silver lightning orbs flying towards the remaining flying puppets.

The flying puppets dared not confront them directly and quickly dodged.

The silver giant eagle fiercely flapped its wings and dived from high altitude, aiming directly for Wang Changsheng.

The silver giant eagle was a high-grade second-tier demonic bird with extreme flight speed. The four flying puppet beasts couldn't intercept it, so they could only spray crimson fire blades and azure light swords, aiming at the silver giant eagle.

A large expanse of silver electrical arcs lit up on the silver giant eagle's body, doubling its speed. With a quick maneuver, it evaded the flying puppet beasts' attacks and swooped towards Wang Changsheng.

In less than two breaths, it was behind Wang Changsheng. It opened its mouth and spewed several thick silver lightning bolts, striking the white light shield. The light shield swayed violently a few times, flickering on and off.

With a grab of its claws, the white light shield shattered.

Wang Changsheng's figure blurred, splitting into seven. The silver giant eagle attacked a decoy.

A sharp glint flashed in Wang Changsheng's eyes. The Dark Ice Banner's flag surface shone brightly, and a massive surge of white chilling mist poured out, forming a white giant python that lunged at the silver giant eagle.

The silver giant eagle opened its mouth and spat out a thick silver lightning bolt, shattering the white giant python into a large cloud of white chilling mist.

The silver giant eagle spread its wings and flew upwards, but just then, a dozen white silk strands shot out, several of them entangling its claws.

Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and a large number of blue light specks appeared in the void, rapidly transforming into a monstrous blue water dragon over ten feet long, which lunged at the silver giant eagle with bared fangs and brandished claws.

A large expanse of silver electrical arcs emerged on the silver giant eagle's body, breaking several silk strands. The blue water dragon also reached it, opening its gaping maw and swallowing it whole.

A massive wave of white chilling mist swept over, freezing it into an ice sculpture, which then fell from mid-air.

Wang Changsheng summoned the Vajra Brick, which rapidly expanded to the size of a house and swiftly slammed down.

With a loud "boom," the ice sculpture was smashed to pieces.

Wang Changsheng controlled the four flying puppet beasts to entangle the azure giant eagle. The azure giant eagle, fighting one against four, plus Wang Changsheng's harassment, was struggling to cope. Wang Changsheng seized the opportunity, commanded the spider puppet to spray silk, entangling the azure giant eagle's claws. A massive wave of white chilling mist swept over, freezing it into an ice sculpture, which then fell to the ground.

Wang Changsheng manipulated the Vajra Brick to smash the ice sculpture to pieces, then melted the ice layer and attacked the red python.

Although the red python's defense was strong, it was no match for seven second-tier puppet beasts and Wang Changsheng. Amidst a series of massive explosions, its body was pierced by dense azure light swords.

After eliminating the three high-grade second-tier demonic beasts, Wang Changsheng let out a long sigh of relief, putting away his puppet beasts and magical artifacts.

If it hadn't been for the help of the nine second-tier puppet beasts, it wouldn't have been easy for him to pass the sixth level.

Wang Changsheng felt a blur before his eyes, suddenly appearing in a spacious hall. The hall's layout was similar to the previous level, but in the center, there was an azure wooden table. Behind it sat an elder wearing Tianbing Gate attire, a cultivator at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Wang! You have passed the sixth level in three and a half quarters of an hour. Your chances of entering the top thirty are quite high. Please return the teleportation talisman, and you may leave."

The elder offered a polite remark, then picked up a token and waved it at the stone wall. A flash of yellow light shot out, instantly disappearing into the wall.

With a flicker of yellow light, a square exit appeared on the stone wall.

Wang Changsheng expressed his gratitude, handed the teleportation talisman to the elder, and a white cloud materialized beneath his feet, carrying him out through the exit.

Wang Changsheng slowly descended, thousands of gazes fixed on him, showing various expressions: envy, admiration, and jealousy.

Wang Changsheng's success served as an encouragement to other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Changsheng, are you alright?"

Wang Mingzhan and Wang Mingzhong asked with concern.

Wang Changsheng shook his head, smiling as he said, "I'm fine. I hope to get spirit fields and shops."

Wang Ruyan walked over and asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Wang, are you alright? Is the Demon Suppressing Pagoda very dangerous?"

"I'm fine, but the Demon Suppressing Pagoda is indeed dangerous inside."

Knowing that Wang Ruyan intended to challenge the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, Wang Changsheng secretly transmitted his experience of challenging the pagoda to her, along with some points to note.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang. Could you possibly lend me a few second-tier puppet beasts? Regardless of whether I pass the sixth level, I will certainly reward you handsomely."

Wang Ruyan's expression was quite sincere.

Wang Changsheng smiled faintly and nodded in agreement.

Challengers continued to arrive; some succeeded, others failed.

With Wang Changsheng's advice, Wang Ruyan purchased several second-tier attack talismans.
