Chapter 1378 – All-Around Leap in Strength

Countless tiny red rays of light immediately appeared, and all of them began to rapidly spin while exuding an inexplicable chill.

One of Ancient God Mu Yu’s arms was wounded by several of these red rays of light.

“Oh no!” Ancient God Mu Yu had already come back to his senses by now, and he immediately backed up.

He could sense a poison rapidly flowing through his body, boring in his marrow and soul. A moment later, his Divine Power began to drain away while his mind and soul became bleary and unfocused.

“Ancient God Mu Yu, what’s your condition?” Ancient God Ice Jade and the other Ancient God immediately flew over.

If something happened to Ancient God Mu Yu, it would be even more difficult for them to get to the top floor of the Sensory Tower.

“It’s not lethal!” Ancient God Mu Yu seated himself on the ground and immediately began to circulate Divine Power to suppress the poison.

The Celestial Poison Silkworm Spirit Array was only lethal to those below the Ancient God level. Its threat to Ancient Gods was somewhat reduced, but their Divine Power would constantly be drained, and they would be incapable of focusing their mind.

“This is God Origin Stone. It can quickly recover Divine Power. If you need to use Divine Power, you can use this stone.” Ancient God Ice Jade took out two pieces of gleaming jade-like stone.

Besides searching for Xin Wuheng and the Ancient God Seal, they had also gathered up many precious resources. These God Origin Stones were a part of their harvest.

“Mm.” Ancient God Mu Yu took the God Origin Stones.

The Ancient Soul Race was a race specialized in the Soul Dao, so they had a somewhat stronger resistance to poisons that affected the soul. With the God Origin Stones, he could recover Divine Power at any crucial moments, freeing him from his problem.

“Damn! That brat’s Space Transference Eye can penetrate through so many floors!”

In this dimension, Divine Sense was suppressed, and these high-level Heaven’s Legacy Race buildings could also keep out Divine Sense. Logically speaking, without a soul mark or the ability to spread Divine Sense to a certain area, it wasn’t possible to manifest a Space Transference Eye.

“They’re in control of the Sensory Tower, so it’s not strange that they can do this. You must be cautious and watch your surroundings. When you see a Space Transference Eye, immediately used soul attacks,” Yu Heng’s voice rang out in their minds.

“He won’t get a second chance!” Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said.

As a member of the Ancient Soul Race, she was extremely sensitive to soul energy and was also a master of soul attacks. Ancient God Ice Jade was confident that, if Zhao Feng used his Space Transference Eye again, it would be the last time he ever used it.

“Continue advancing. Although the array has been activated, it’s not difficult to disarm it,” Yu Heng spoke once more.

The three members of Ancient Soul Hall were somewhat taken aback. They once more felt that Yu Heng was unfathomable and mysterious.

…

On the top floor, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat could observe every movement of Ancient God Ice Jade’s team through the nonagon of light.

“They’ve started disarming traps again!” Zhao Feng’s expression darkened.

He had some authority over the Sensory Tower, so he could use his Space Transference Eye to activate traps and arrays, but even these actions didn’t have too much effect. They could only buy a little more time. Although the arrays and traps were activated, Ancient Soul Hall had the means of disarming them.

After some time, Ancient Soul Hall team had disarmed the Celestial Poison Silkworm Spirit Array and ventured deeper in. It didn’t take long before they reached the third floor.

“They’ll definitely be on their guard. A second attempt won’t succeed so easily.” Zhao Feng did not recklessly take action.

The chances of success were very small, and he would also have to deal with the frenzied attacks from the Ancient Soul Hall trio.

At the Ancient God level, one had the ability to attack the Space Transference Eye and damage Zhao Feng’s soul.

However, if Zhao Feng did not try to stop them, the trio would quickly reach the sixth floor – the top floor.

As expected, the Ancient Soul Hall trio swiftly broke through the third floor and entered the fourth floor.

Buzz! Bzzz!

At this moment, Zhao Feng immediately felt a powerful bloodline energy sweeping through the area. A moment later, Xin Wuheng emerged, his energy gradually retreating back into his body.

“You broke through?” Zhao Feng faintly smiled.

Only Xin Wuheng was capable of contending against the half-step God Lord, and now, Xin Wuheng had smoothly reached the peak of Rank Nine, allowing him to take another stride forward in strength.

“What’s the situation?” Xin Wuheng asked as he turned to the nonagon, upon which he immediately paled. He could see everything on the nonagon; the Ancient Soul Hall team was about to reach the top floor.

“Ancient God Jailsea is standing guard outside the Sensory Tower, and there seems to be other Ancient Soul Hall experts present in this dimension.” Zhao Feng explained the entire situation to Xin Wuheng.

“If that’s the case, we have to get out of here!” Xin Wuheng said after thinking for a few moments.

If they remained here for too long, once the other experts from Ancient Soul Hall arrived, they would find it even harder to escape.

But escaping was easier said than done. After all, Ancient Soul Hall experts were much faster than they were. This also meant that a prerequisite to successfully escaping was ensuring that Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea could not pursue.

“Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount are at a crucial moment in their breakthroughs….” Xin Wuheng spoke once more.

If they were interrupted at this time, they would suffer a backlash and find it very difficult to breakthrough again. Moreover, if the two of them succeeded in breaking through, the group’s strength would increase once more.

“Let’s work together to delay them for a while,” Zhao Feng immediately said.

…

“Ancient God Mu Yu, your understanding of traps has gotten much better!” Ancient God Ice Jade faintly chuckled.

All of them noticed that Ancient God Mu Yu was able to disarm traps much faster than before.

“Haha, I must thank Yu Heng!” Ancient God Mu Yu laughed.

As he disarmed arrays, he grew more proficient, and there were even times when he could spot clues without any reminder from Yu Heng.

“Hurry up! Only the last floor remains,” Yu Heng coldly said.

The Ancient Soul Hall trio had already reached the fifth floor. They were about to reach the top floor!

“Yes!” Ancient God Mu Yu was filled with admiration for Yu Heng, so he was willing to follow all his orders. He walked up to the front and began to disarm the traps and arrays.

“Wait!” Ancient God Ice Jade suddenly shouted.

A moment later, a figure appeared in the passage ahead of them.

“Xin Wuheng!” Ancient God Ice Jade sternly said.

“Xin Wuheng, obediently hand over the Ancient God Seal!” Ancient God Mu Yu stared at Xin Wuheng and said.

“Keep dreaming!” Xin Wuheng coldly replied.

Thwish!

He raised his right hand, circulating boundless Divine Power, and shot out several bolts of vicious energy from his fingers. Several bolts of dazzling white light, endowed with formidable physical power, shot forward.

“Then just wait for your death!” Ancient God Ice Jade’s face chilled as the snow and ice around her immediately flew forward.

This snow and ice froze all energy and life in their path.

Boom! Bang!

But as they collided with Xin Wuheng’s bolts of finger energy, a part of the cloud of ice and snow shattered to pieces.

“Mm? This kid has gotten stronger!” Ancient God Ice Jade was taken aback.

In their two casual attacks, Xin Wuheng was the one with the upper hand.

Although Ancient God Ice Jade was more skilled in Soul Dao attacks, her Divine Power was still at the level of a half-step God Lord. In other words, Xin Wuheng’s strength had reached the level of a half-step God Lord as well. To have this level strength after just breaking through to peak Rank Nine, Xin Wuheng truly lived up to his reputation.

Ancient God Ice Jade focused her eyes, and even colder Intent energy flowed out of her body. This was finally enough to freeze and shatter Xin Wuheng’s bolts of finger energy.

At this moment, a dreamy silver eye appeared above the Ancient Soul Hall trio.

“Water Lightning Illusion Domain!”

Arcs of electricity surged out of the silver eye. This Lightning energy swiftly absorbed the surrounding Ice energy and formed a massive Water Lightning net to cover the Ancient Soul Hall trio.

After launching this attack, Zhao Feng immediately dispelled his Space Transference Eye.

“That brat again!” Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said. If Xin Wuheng hadn’t appeared, she would have been able to immediately react to Zhao Feng’s Space Transference Eye.

Boom!

Ancient God Ice Jade waved her hand, causing a savage Soul Beast akin to a shark to charge out. The shark Soul Beast unleashed powerful Ice-Water Intent, creating a snowstorm that assailed the Water Lightning net. After struggling for a few moments, the Water Lightning net broke apart.

“You don’t have enough strength to do anything to us!” the peak Rank Eight Ancient God coldly shouted.

Xin Wuheng ignored his words, continuing to stand motionless in the passage.

“Wait a moment! They’re preventing us from disarming the arrays!” Ancient God Mu Yu immediately said.

“Focus on disarming. Leave the rest to us!” Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said.

As long as they could successfully reach the top floor, everything would come to an end.

But just when Ancient God Mu Yu was prepared to step forward, Xin Wuheng circulated his bloodline power and fired off several formidable bolts of finger energy.

“Frozen Ice Mountain!” Ancient God Ice Jade extended her hands and unleashed a chilling snowstorm.

This extremely cold snow appeared in front of Ancient God Mu Yu and condensed into a massive mountain of ice.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Xin Wuheng’s finger bolts crashed into the mountain and began to push their way through.

Ancient God Ice Jade was taken aback. With Xin Wuheng using his bloodline energy, she was losing in a clash of physical abilities.

“Freeze!” Ancient God Ice Jade called out, immediately increasing the power of the chilling energy so that she could freeze Xin Wuheng’s attacks within her ice mountain.

“This kid’s strength…!” Ancient God Ice Jade’s gaze turned grim. If Xin Wuheng was truly given the time to mature, he would become a massive problem for Ancient Soul Hall.

On the other side, her Soul Beast and the peak Rank Eight Ancient God were putting all their focus on guarding against Zhao Feng’s sneak attacks.

Ancient God Mu Yu used this chance to rapidly disarm the traps.

Soon…! Just wait patiently for your deaths!  Ancient God Mu Yu mentally sneered.

He had disarmed more than half of the traps on the fifth floor. They would soon be able to enter the sixth floor. As long as they could get to the sixth floor and hold down Zhao Feng and the others so that they couldn’t escape, Ancient God Jailsea could swiftly come to their aid. When the time came, two half-step God Lords working together would finish off Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.

“Xin Wuheng, your Giant God Race will never have a chance to rise again!” Ancient God Ice Jade jeered.

Although Xin Wuheng possessed enormous potential, as long as they could strangle this threat in the cradle, the Giant God Race would have no hope.

“Eh? The traps have all stopped working!” Ancient God Mu Yu suddenly called out in alarm.

A moment later:

Boom! Boom!

Two powerful ripples of bloodline energy exploded from the top floor of the Sensory Tower, causing the blood in all three members of the Ancient Soul Race to tremble.

“This energy… not good!” Ancient God Ice Jade grimaced.

These two energies were both full of the Giant God Race’s bloodline energy, and one of them had reached Rank Nine.
