Chapter 875: Getting the Treasure

On the thirty-fourth floor, three mountain-sized Sea-Mountain Orbs smashed True Monarch Wan Gu and the Bone Corpse to pieces.

The Sea-Quelling Ape was covered in wounds, its aura somewhat weakened. A large number of broken green thorns were scattered on the ground. The Wood Demon was also heavily injured. Numerous dead Gold-Devouring Ants and a considerable amount of yellow rat fur were also strewn across the ground.

Hundreds of massive golden saber auras slashed towards Wang Changsheng. They appeared before him in an instant, blocking all his escape routes.

Wang Ruyan hooked two fingers around a guqin string. With a gentle release, an invisible sound wave shot out, striking the hundreds of golden saber auras.

Boom! A massive roar echoed. The invisible sound wave shattered most of the saber auras. A small portion of the saber auras struck Wang Changsheng, shattering his Glazed Golden Body. Wang Changsheng's clothes were tattered, and his hands were covered in bloodstains. If not for the sound wave and the Glazed Golden Body blocking most of the damage, coupled with Wang Changsheng's powerful physique, he would have been dead.

At the same time, the void above them rippled. A giant blue palm, several zhang in size, materialized out of thin air and swiftly slammed down.

A dazzling blue light emanated from Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. A light blue water curtain appeared out of nowhere, enveloping both of them. It was the Water Moon Mystic Light, capable of deflecting most attacks.

With a muffled thud, the giant blue palm struck the blue water curtain. The blue water curtain caved in but quickly returned to normal, bouncing the giant blue palm away.

The three Sea-Mountain Orbs spun around and hurled themselves towards the Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai.

The Seven Absolute Saber Emperor slashed his golden long saber at the void. A golden light flashed, and hundreds of golden saber auras flew out.

A series of clanging metallic thuds sounded. The three Sea-Mountain Orbs were sent flying back, with a large area of faint white marks appearing on their surfaces.

An extremely bizarre roar rang out. The Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai felt their bodies go limp, unable to use their magical power.

Hundreds of white formation flags flew in, transforming into hundreds of white lights, and vanished into the ground around the Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai.

The next moment, a white light flashed, and a fierce cold wind began to howl.

The Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai felt their vision blur. They suddenly found themselves in a world of ice and snow. A biting wind howled past, and large snowflakes drifted down from high above.

"Husband, are you alright?" Wang Ruyan asked, full of concern, as she swallowed a drop of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

Wang Changsheng shook his head, taking a drop of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk. He said, "I'm fine, my dear. Let's use formations to wear them down to death. I refuse to believe a Rank 4 formation can't finish them off."

They had Thousand-Year Spirit Milk and a Rank 4 formation.

Initially, Wang Changsheng had planned to use the Sea-Mountain Orbs to break the formation. However, the Seven Absolute Saber Emperor, True Lord Zhen Hai, and True Monarch Wan Gu gave him no such opportunity. They had no choice but to concentrate their firepower to first eliminate True Monarch Wan Gu, then set up the formation.

While the Sea-Mountain Orbs could deploy formations of water and earth attributes, they were no match for the Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai. This set of Rank 4 formations, the Frost Spirit Trapping Formation, offered both offense and defense. Wang Changsheng intended to use it to wear down the Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai to death.

Boom! A series of roars erupted. The Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai furiously attacked the formation. The formation plates in Wang Changsheng's and Wang Ruyan's hands emitted piercing screeches, their spiritual light flickering incessantly.

They quickly channeled a large amount of magical power into the formation plates and cast various incantations.

On the thirty-sixth floor, Song Tianyang and Mu Yuehua's faces were pale. If it had only been two Ninth-Level Core Formation cultivators and one Nascent Soul cultivator, they might have stood a chance by employing secret techniques and powerful magical treasures. However, True Monarch Myriad Beasts actually cultivated multiple high-grade Rank 3 spirit beasts, each possessing considerable divine abilities.

A crimson saber aura, over fifty zhang long, slashed towards them. Wherever the crimson saber aura passed, the void emitted a piercing tearing sound, as if the very fabric of space was being ripped apart.

A dazzling golden light and a silver light shone from Song Tianyang and Mu Yuehua respectively. The golden and silver lights intertwined, forming a Yin-Yang pattern. When the crimson saber aura struck the Yin-Yang pattern, it instantly vanished, like mud dissolving into the ocean.

A loud dragon's roar resonated. A green flood dragon descended from the sky, colliding fiercely with the Yin-Yang pattern. The Yin-Yang pattern was torn to shreds by the green flood dragon.

Boom! Five high-grade Rank 3 spirit beasts unleashed magical attacks on them: golden lightning, silver rays, purple poisonous mist, and more.

A crimson saber aura, over fifty zhang long, flew out, striking towards them.

Two fists could not contend with four hands; they simply couldn't resist. Just as they dispelled the incoming spells, a green flood dragon descended from the sky. It opened its massive maw and shattered their protective spiritual shields. Their bodies were torn to shreds by the green flood dragon, and their corpses transformed into two glittering golden talismans.

Outside the Immortal-Suppressing Pagoda, within a secret chamber in a golden palace, Song Tianyang and Mu Yuehua sat cross-legged on cushions, their eyes slightly closed.

Both suddenly opened their eyes, their brows furrowed.

"We failed. It seems challenging for two people to pass these trials. It's already quite good that we managed to clear the thirty-fifth floor," Song Tianyang said with a frown.

Mu Yuehua nodded, saying, "Thankfully, we entered using the Avatar Talisman. Otherwise, we might have perished inside. It's truly remarkable that Gongsun Yang was able to clear the thirty-sixth floor."

The Avatar Talisman is a secret talisman. It can replicate most of the user's divine abilities. However, it's a single-use item with a time limit. The Sun and Moon Palace paid a considerable price to obtain two such talismans for retrieving treasures from the Immortal-Suppressing Pagoda, but unexpectedly, they failed.

"Master was right. There's always someone better, and heights beyond heights. Throughout history, many prodigies have appeared in the cultivation world, but only a few have been able to clear the thirty-sixth floor."

"Someone is currently attempting the thirty-fourth floor. I wonder if they'll be able to clear the thirty-sixth."

On the thirty-fourth floor, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were drenched in sweat. They cast incantations onto the formation plates, which emitted piercing screeches and displayed countless runes.

After a while, the formation plates ceased their screeching, and the runes dimmed.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan simultaneously let out long breaths of relief, and deactivated the formation.

The Seven Absolute Saber Emperor and True Lord Zhen Hai were frozen into massive, motionless ice sculptures.

Three enlarged Sea-Mountain Orbs descended from the sky, smashing the ice sculptures to pieces.

A golden light shone nearby, revealing over a dozen golden jade tables. Each jade table held a treasure.

Wang Changsheng put away his magical treasures and spirit beasts. Even if there were no Nascent Soul spiritual items, he had no intention of continuing the trials. His spirit beasts and spirit insects were severely injured, and he himself was wounded. If they continued, they might end up staying here forever.

To his great relief, there were Nascent Soul spiritual items and Rank 2 magical treasures.

They chose six items: one Creation Pill, which could increase the chance of forming a Nascent Soul; a set of nine Rank 2 flying swords, each a low-grade Rank 2 magical treasure; a Rank 2 magical treasure, the Fire Dragon Flag; a Rank 2 defensive magical treasure, the Seven-Colored Buddhist Beads; a Rank 2 defensive magical treasure, the Green Lotus Umbrella; and one Rank 4 spiritual talisman, the Purple Heaven Demon-Slaying Talisman.

There were many other good items, but they opted for the most practical ones.

The Creation Pill could increase the chance of forming a Nascent Soul. The flying swords could be used by Wang Qingshan. The Fire Dragon Flag could be used by Wang Ruyan. The Green Lotus Umbrella and the Seven-Colored Buddhist Beads could be kept for surviving the Nascent Soul lightning tribulation. The Purple Heaven Demon-Slaying Talisman was highly effective against demons and monsters.

After selecting the items, a powerful suction force appeared out of nowhere. Their vision blurred, and they suddenly found themselves above an endless expanse of sea.

"Finally, we're out! My dear, let's go back!"

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan transformed into a blue light and sped away through the air, moving swiftly.
