In the strange palace, the scorching heat emanating from the True Fire Nine Suns seemed to be endless. Those strange creatures kept coming forward like moths to the flame, one wave after another, and thousands of them soon died.
Unfortunately, there were too many strange creatures inside, and the use of True Fire Nine Suns consumed too much spiritual consciousness. Cheng Ling had to reduce the coverage area, and the red sun shrank from three feet to one foot.
An hour passed like this, and Cheng Ling's mental power was almost exhausted. If he hadn't condensed the fifth spiritual heart, it would have been exhausted long ago. However, there are still more than 2,000 strange creatures left in the space.
And as these strange creatures died, the cold atmosphere in the space became more and more intense, reaching ten times the level outside. By this time, Cheng Ling could see clearly that the cold aura was not only spreading in the hall, but most of it was absorbed through a hole in the ground. The entrance of the cave was like a black hole, and it seemed that it could not contain any amount of cold air.
"It's reached its limit! In this case, we can only rely on physical strength!" Cheng Ling had to stop the use of True Fire Nine Suns, and used the Dragon Ling Sword to kill those strange creatures.
Generally speaking, these strange creatures are colorless and odorless. They only have the outline of a lake, which is difficult for people to sense. But who allowed Cheng Ling to practice the Holy Eye of the Netherworld? There was nothing he could hide under his gaze.
He did not use the Nine Ultimate Divine Sword, and he did not even use the Void Nirvana Sword Technique and the Sky-Breaking Sword Technique. In this unusual place, you should try to avoid consumption. Fortunately, the attack methods of these strange creatures are very simple. At best, they just use illusory arms to kill them. Basic sword moves are enough.
The most worrying thing now is Su Luo and others. Once the opponent tracks them down, based on their current consumption, they have no chance of defeating them.
The Dragon Ling sword passed through the void, as if it were floating in the sky, and there was no trace at all. After several opportunities, he had seen countless swordsmanships, and Cheng Ling's swordsmanship had reached an extremely terrifying level. Even simple swordsmanship could not be found. The basic sword moves can also have the attack power of the ordinary Immortal Emperor stage.
Time passed slowly, and more and more strange creatures died under Cheng Ling's sword. His mental power also slowly recovered with the help of elixirs. Those strange dead creatures turned into wisps of cold aura, floating in the air, and then were absorbed by the black hole below.
Two hours passed like this, and all the strange creatures in the hall disappeared. Cheng Ling hurriedly sat down cross-legged and used the Soul Skill to replenish the consumed mental energy.
In the thirty-six realms of virtuality, it is impossible to practice the soul skills at all, and the concentration of the spiritual heart has also stopped. Doing this can only speed up the recovery of mental power slightly, which is better than nothing.
By this time, Cheng Ling felt relieved. It had been several hours and Su Luo and others had caught up long ago. There was still no trace, which only meant that they were looking in the wrong direction.
Three more days passed, and his mental strength was completely restored. Cheng Ling stood up and slowly came to the edge of the cave entrance.
He could feel that the suction force at the entrance of the cave still existed, although the cold air in the hall was very little and was still being absorbed. What is the situation inside? Is it a crisis or an opportunity?
Unfortunately, he is not a Buddhist monk, so he doesn't understand the mystery at all. After pondering for a while, he finally placed dozens of restraints on the edge of the cave entrance, and then jumped down.
After a brief period of darkness, I stepped on the ground and raised my eyes, the same situation appeared.
Below the black hole is still a large hall, filled with densely packed strange creatures. However, it seems to be much smaller than the hall above, with a radius of less than seven kilometers. However, the aura of those strange creatures is more powerful, and the cold air has become more intense. , which is fifteen times that of the outside world.
There was no time to think too much, because the place where Cheng Ling fell this time happened to be in the center of the hall, and there were strange creatures everywhere.
The True Fire Nine Suns were unleashed again, and the scorching Yang Qi and fire energy filled the surrounding area. This time, he learned the lesson and did not use the power of the True Fire Nine Suns on a large scale. He only needed a ten-foot-sized sun to cover himself.
But soon, his expression began to change again. As far as he could see, those strange creatures began to melt under the true fire nine suns, but the melting speed was not fast. If the strange creatures in the first floor of the hall only took five breaths, It can be annihilated in a short time, so the creatures in the second layer of space need at least ten breaths.
Ten breaths! It is fully twice that of the first level. Similarly, the spiritual consciousness that Cheng Ling needs to consume is also twice that of the first level.
This is not wonderful! Cheng Ling was deeply afraid that his consciousness would not last that long. In desperation, he had only one free hand, and instead used one hand to hold the sun transformed from the True Fire Nine Suns, while the other hand used the Dragon Ling Sword. With his mind divided into two tasks, he began to kill strange creatures.
Like the first layer, there is a black hole under the ground on the second layer. It is about the same size as the one on the first layer, but it absorbs the cold air faster.
The black hole was in a corner of the hall, not far away, but there were countless strange creatures at the edge of the hole. And those creatures seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding. As long as the creatures near the edge of the black hole were killed, new creatures would immediately come up to stop Cheng Ling.
"It seems that only by killing all the strange creatures in this hall can we go down to the third floor!" Cheng Ling murmured to himself, giving up his previous idea and focusing on dealing with the strange creatures that came over.
The scorching energy above has not stopped, and the sword lights are like antelopes hanging their horns. There is no trace to be found. The number of strange creatures continues to decrease, and they are now less than half of their original size.
Continue to maintain until there are less than a hundred left, Cheng Ling puts away the True Fire Nine Suns and switches to pure swordsmanship to kill the enemy.
Finally... when the last strange creature disappeared in place, Cheng Ling took a deep breath and sat down tiredly. This time, his spiritual consciousness and immortal energy were almost exhausted. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as there were hundreds more of these strange creatures, he would have no choice but to run away.
It took half a month for Cheng Ling's cultivation to return to its peak state. He silently walked to the edge, looking at the dark hole and lost in thought.
It took a lot of effort to kill all the strange creatures on the second floor. Judging from the previous situation, the third floor is only more terrifying. Do you want to go in?
What troubled him the most was that he had killed so many strange creatures without getting any benefits. Is it worthwhile to spend so much effort on useless work?
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Ling finally decided to return. This palace was too weird. It seemed that it had no function except for many strange creatures.
Returning to the entrance of the second floor again, he took a leap and wanted to return to the first floor, but he didn't expect that before he entered, there seemed to be a strong repulsive force at the entrance of the cave, making it impossible to get close at all.
Falling back to the ground again, with his eyes staring at the entrance of the cave, the dragon feather sword was drawn out, and a sharp sword light shot towards the entrance of the cave.
"Chi!" There was only a slight sound, but the hole remained motionless, as if it had not been attacked at all. Cheng Ling was dumbfounded. This sword was the most dazzling sword among the Nine Ultimate Divine Swords. Needless to say, it was so powerful that almost no one below the Seven Stars Immortal Emperor could stop it. Who would have thought that it could not open a cave entrance.
what to do? Can it only go down? But even if you keep going down, the palace will always end. How will you get out then?
Cheng Ling refused to give up, raised his fingers to the sky, and struck the cave entrance again with the Thunderbolt Technique, but there was still no reaction at all, except for a ripple in the void.
"Damn it, it seems we have no choice but to go down!" He cursed in his heart. With no way out, Cheng Ling could only return to the entrance to the third floor, gritted his teeth, and jumped down.
This time, before his feet landed on the ground, the True Fire Nine Suns had already been launched, for fear of falling into the group of strange creatures again.
But soon, he was puzzled again. The third floor was empty. There was not a single strange creature. There was only a pool of ten feet in diameter in the middle, which exuded a strong cold atmosphere.
Rubbing his eyes, as if he didn't believe what he saw, he focused his energy on his eyes, and the Holy Eye of the Netherworld swept past, but he still couldn't see a strange one. biology. Then he raised his eyes to look at the hole above his head, and saw a trace of cold air flowing down from the hole, and finally gathered into the pool.

Could it be that there is something mysterious about this pool?
With a thought in his heart, he slowly walked to the edge of the pool and stretched out a hand to dip into the water. In an instant, an extreme coldness shot up from the arm, quickly penetrated along the tendons, and went straight into the Dantian.
Cheng Ling was horrified. This cold breath was stronger than the second layer, twenty times stronger than the outside. Wherever the breath flowed, the muscles, bones, and tendons seemed to be frozen, and they completely lost consciousness.
At the time of crisis, the golden leaf technique was activated, and the immortal energy in the Dantian was immediately mobilized, following the body's tendons and violently colliding with the cold aura.
"Boom~!"
There seemed to be a roar of impact in his ears, and Cheng Ling couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. It was like two peerless strong men fighting and colliding inside his body. Fortunately, his immortal energy was very condensed, and he was suddenly alive under the impact. Got it.
But Cheng Ling's body was unable to move, and he remained in the position of leaning into the pool, unable to move at all. In his body, the two auras, one yin and one yang, were fighting to the death.
I don't know how much time passed, but the stalemate between the two breaths finally began to change. The cold air poured into Cheng Ling's body began to merge with his own immortal energy. The two breaths were completely intertwined, like two inseparable lovers fighting to death. Lingering, you have me, I have you.
And as time went by, these two breaths began to rotate, forming a cyclone.
Cheng Ling frowned and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood again. His spiritual body had reached the late ninth level. Originally, his muscles and veins were very tough, and even ordinary middle-grade immortal weapons could not destroy them at all, but this cyclone was like a cutting machine. , constantly rotating, and the cutting force generated is so sharp.
"If this continues, my tendons will be crushed to pieces. I have to find a way to expel this cold air."
Cheng Ling gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain to draw out the power of the space in his body, making the immortal essence grow larger and trying to expel the cold atmosphere.
But this cold air is very tenacious. Although it is not able to resist the impact of the immortal energy, the retreat speed is extremely slow. The cyclone retreats step by step, just like a cutting machine constantly challenging the endurance limit of the muscles.
