“Brother Qing Yan, go assist Ru Yan!”
Lin Xiao commanded a combat skeleton with secondfold martial saint power to charge towards Huo Ru Yan while shouting to Qing Yan.
At the same time, he himself rushed towards the secondfold martial saint from Tianji Holy Land. Qing Yan turned, throwing the Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc directly at the tower-guarding elder.
Boom! Boom! Boom! In the blink of an eye, battle erupted again. With the combat skeleton’s aid, Long Tutian and the Kunshan Lizard elder fully entangled with Tianji Holy Land’s supreme elder.
Huo Ru Yan activated her Blood Demon Body. Qing Yan used the Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc at full power, plus a secondfold martial saint-level combat skeleton. Together they could hold off a fourthfold martial saint.
Lin Xiao fought with one skeleton, plus Shen Kun’s power, and once more blasted the two martial saints flying.
Boom! The Canglong Gate master pressed forward, punching towards the Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower entrance. Brilliant golden fist light erupted, condensing into a solid seven-to-eight-zhang thick long dragon. At the front of the fist light formed a dragon head with dragon horns.
Scales condensed piece by piece on its body.
The entire fist light seemed to become a living golden dragon, opening its great mouth and charging straight into the tower entrance.
This golden dragon fist light was the same move as Long Tutian’s Lone Dragon Art, but its power far surpassed Long Tutian’s.
Rumble!
After the Canglong Gate master’s strike entered Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower, the earth shook violently, as if a great earthquake had occurred.
“Striking the second layer directly from the entrance?”
Lin Xiao was startled.
Before coming, he had heard Long Tutian mention that Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower’s entrances aligned vertically, layer by layer downward.
Moreover, each layer reportedly had different height, space, and door endurance.
He had thought the Canglong Gate master would enter the tower before striking. He had not expected a direct attack from above.
He did not know if it could breach the second layer entrance.
However, Lin Xiao did not pause. His body turned transparent. Yaoguang Broken Sword blazed with brilliant light. Peerless sword light like world-extinguishing radiance slashed towards the secondfold martial saint Yu Yuan.
Following the sword light came Holy Hand Covering Heaven attack.
After spiritual power broke through to seventh-rank intermediate, and tempered by destructive spirit energy, Holy Hand Covering Heaven had reached a terrifying level.
Besides that, he had a firstfold martial saint-level combat skeleton.
The combat skeleton erupted with powerful evil force, blasting white power infused with evil towards Yu Yuan.
Previously it was probing strength to allocate forces. Now it was swift decisive battle.
Shen Kun attacked the other firstfold martial saint from Tianji Holy Land.
“What are these things?”
Everyone on Tianji Holy Land’s side changed expression greatly. Skeletons could actually fight?
And all with martial saint-level power?
These things came from Lin Xiao’s storage ring. Could Lin Xiao refine them?
Tianji Holy Land’s elders finally understood how Lin Xiao’s group had killed the great elders of their three major forces. It was with these combat skeletons’ help, not due to Overlord Crab’s intervention.
Rumble!
At this moment, above Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower, the Canglong Gate master flew high. He punched again. A dragon roar rang out. Nine utterly solid golden dragons erupted, converging before the tower door and blasting inside.
Surrounding residual force struck the tower door area, erupting rolling golden light waves. The surroundings blazed brilliantly.
But the main force had already entered the tower door.
Rumble!
In an instant, the entire earth trembled as if in a major earthquake. Rolling air waves surged from the tower door.
One could imagine how powerful that strike was.
This time, the Canglong Gate master targeted the third layer entrance. The third layer’s air waves would surely erupt in the third layer space, surging in all directions. Yet residual waves still emerged above.
This strike was formidable to the extreme.
Those outside did not know if he had breached the third entrance.
“Go break the tower!”
Long Tutian shouted. His aura exploded as he charged into Tianji Holy Land.
Lin Xiao and the other two also moved, rushing into Tianji Holy Land.
Soon they reached the central area of Tianji Holy Land. In the centre was a cluster of palace buildings. Lin Xiao saw no signs of array altars.
“It is beneath this palace!”
Long Tutian shouted lightly and struck a palm. Vast palm force directly reduced a palace to rubble. Huge fluctuations erupted, surging outward in waves.
Not only the central buildings were destroyed, but the shockwave levelled all structures, rockeries, and forests across Tianji Holy Land’s hundred li.
This was martial saint power. A casual strike could flatten hundreds of li, let alone Tianji Holy Land’s mere hundred li.
After the buildings were destroyed, beneath Lin Xiao and the four appeared a thousand-zhang square array altar. A defensive barrier rose above it.
More precisely, four array altars surrounded a thousand-zhang area. In the centre was black iron-like material engraved with mysterious ancient patterns. One glance gave an eerie, sinister feeling.
In the middle of the special material was a three-zhang rectangular black block, seemingly a door.
“This is Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower?”
Lin Xiao was startled, his eyes examining the black iron-like stone ground below.
“That is the entrance to Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower. It can be broken by force. First, destroy the array.”
Long Tutian said.
Qing Yan urged the Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc again, spinning towards the surrounding thousand-zhang array altars. It easily cut through the barrier and struck an altar.
Boom! A loud crash. The Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc embedded into the altar.
However, it did not destroy the entire altar.
Qing Yan frowned, recalling the disc to his hand. He spun and threw it with greater force at the same altar.
Boom! The altar was damaged further, but not fully destroyed.
Qing Yan continued attacking. It took five or six strikes to completely ruin one altar.
These altars were harder to destroy than the outer ones.
After a while, all four altars were destroyed. Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower’s defensive barrier vanished entirely.
Boom!
Long Tutian struck first. A punch unleashed golden dragon fist light containing his terrifying power, bombarding the tower door.
Rumble!
A massive boom shook the earth. An air wave erupted, surging in all directions.
However, the wave was not too great, affecting only a dozen li.
The main force seemed absorbed by the tower door, with little power spilling out.
Crack! Crack! The three-zhang square tower door swung open on both sides, revealing a three-zhang passage. A sinister, foul aura emanated from it.
The stench made one want to vomit.
“It can be broken by force. Truly strange!”
Enduring the foul smell, Lin Xiao stared at the Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower entrance.
Inside the passage was pitch black. Nothing could be seen.
“Audacious! Daring to attack Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower!”
Just then, a rolling voice came from not far beside the tower underground.
A ground entrance opened. A figure surged skyward with overwhelming aura. Terrifying pressure instantly filled heaven and earth, enveloping all directions.
“Fourthfold martial saint!”
Sensing this aura, Lin Xiao frowned.
Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower actually had a fourthfold martial saint guarding it?
Lin Xiao’s eyes examined the figure rising to the sky. It was a white-haired elder with many wrinkles, bulging eyes, dishevelled hair, extremely aged.
He looked as if one foot was already in the grave, far older than martial saint elders of major forces.
From Lin Xiao’s estimation, this elder was probably nearing three hundred years old.
