Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Bizarre Space (First Update)
With a thought, Feng Wuchen once again returned to the second layerâs illusion space.
âCould this be Divine Valley?â Feng Wuchen frowned in doubt, summoned the Supreme Dragon God Sword, encountered flying swords, and his figure shot straight up into the sky.
Feng Wuchen was not sure whether this was Divine Valley.
If it were Divine Valley, why would these birds, beasts, and ferocious animals show no fear at all?
âRoar!â
As Feng Wuchen flew high into the sky, he became extremely conspicuous, and immediately a massive beast roared angrily, its gigantic claw swinging down as if to crush a mountain.
Feng Wuchenâs face changed slightly, and he met the attack with a fierce punch.
âBoom!â
The seemingly insignificant fist, as if colliding with a mountain, exploded with a loud bang. Even though the beastâs cultivation was not as high as Feng Wuchenâs, its enormous size still sent him flying.
âRoar!â
As he flew out, Feng Wuchen was inwardly shocked by the brute strength of the massive beast, but there was no time for him to think more. In the moment he was flung away, another sharp and piercing roar reached his ears.
Feng Wuchenâs expression changed once more as he quickly turned to see a huge bird, lightning-fast, shooting towards him.
âInstantaneous Movement!â
Feng Wuchen urgently shouted in a low voice, about to become the birdâs prey, but in the nick of time, he disappeared.
The situation was incredibly perilous, causing Feng Wuchenâs to break out in a cold sweat.
Feng Wuchen was not afraid of these beasts, but their sheer size instinctively made him feel afraid.
âThe strongest of these beasts is at most the Sixth Layer of Yuan Dan Realm, but their sizes are so huge, they have the advantage in brute strength,â Feng Wuchen said, furrowing his brows.
After several instantaneous movements, Feng Wuchen arrived in a more complicated mountainous and forested area. His goal was to confirm whether this was indeed Divine Valley.
âThe concentration of Spiritual Energy is just like Divine Valleyâs. This place is indeed very similar to Divine Valley, even the terrain is nearly the same, except that the flowers, plants, trees, and these beasts have all become incredibly huge, and Spirit Lake should be over there,â Feng Wuchen murmured as he looked towards the left.
If Feng Wuchenâs guess was not wrong, then the direction he was looking in must certainly have Spirit Lake!
If there really was a Spirit Lake, then Feng Wuchen could be one hundred percent sure that this was Divine Valley.
His figure swiftly moved, heading straight for Spirit Lake.
âSwoosh, swoosh, swoosh!â
Feng Wuchenâs speed was astonishing, shadows flitting through the gigantic flora, instantly moving to avoid any beasts he encountered.
The closer he got to Spirit Lake, the more familiar Feng Wuchen found the surroundings; they were simply the terrain of Divine Valley, even the routes leading to Spirit Lake were exactly the same.
After more than ten minutes, the rapidly moving Feng Wuchenâs expression suddenly changed dramatically.
âSpirit Lake!â Seeing the expanse of mist not far ahead, Feng Wuchen was utterly shocked, and he stood there dumbfounded.
At this moment, Feng Wuchen could be one hundred percent certain that this place was Divine Valley!
âThis really is Divine Valley! Aside from the beasts and the plants growing larger, the Spiritual Energy, Spirit Lake, and the terrain of Divine Valley are all exactly the same!â Feng Wuchen exclaimed in shock.
But what confused Feng Wuchen was, how could the second layer inside the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower contain Divine Valley?
Though itâs an illusion space, Feng Wuchen could affirm that everything here was very real, including all the plants and trees.
âWhat exactly is going on here?â Feng Wuchen could not understand at all.
He even felt as if he were currently in Divine Valley, not inside the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.
Feng Wuchen, filled with doubts, stepped into Spirit Lake, and the moment he touched the water, vast and overbearing Spiritual Energy crazily surged into his body, just like in Divine Valley.
The feeling was unmistakably right!
This indeed was Divine Valley!
But how could there be two identical places in the world? One in the real world, and another within a magical treasure.
Such an eerie and wondrous phenomenon was truly beyond Feng Wuchenâs understanding.
After cultivating for a while, Feng Wuchen found that he had made some slight progress in his cultivation.
âCould it be related to the divine skills of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower?â Feng Wuchen secretly speculated, given that the Qiankun Tower was an Immortal Artifact.
With a furrowed brow, Feng Wuchen said again, âItâs a pity that the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower is broken; otherwise, I would certainly know whatâs going on.â
The power of an Immortal Artifact is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
âThis space is really peculiar. If itâs real, then all the treasures of Divine Valley are mine,â Feng Wuchen excitedly thought again, no longer concerned about why there were two Divine Valleys.
Having Divine Valley meant that Feng Wuchen could cultivate in Spirit Lake at any time, and his cultivation would surely soar to the heavens.
The Divine Valley mountain range was vast, with endless natural treasures that could be used without depletion.
Such immense resources would be of incredible help to both the Feng family and the Sky Pavilion, and expanding both would just be a matter of time.
Since Divine Valley existed inside the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, Feng Wuchen was not in a hurry to collect treasures. Moreover, he still had plenty of the treasures he had obtained last time in Divine Valley, which were enough for his cultivation for a while.
With a thought, Feng Wuchen returned to the third layerâs space.
Overwhelmed with ecstasy, Feng Wuchen glanced at the dazzling array of treasures. In this vast storage space, there were too many treasures for him to explore fully.
With so many treasures, one would beam with radiant smiles even in dreams.
Feng Wuchen restrained the wild joy in his heart, and with a thought, immediately proceeded to the fourth layer of the space.
The spaces grew smaller as one ascended, and the fourth layer was only as big as a soccer field with everything in sight.
âAn eerie aura,â Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, scanning the area and muttered, âWhatâs so magical about this space?â
The moment he appeared on the fourth layer, Feng Wuchenâs first impression was how exceptionally eerie it was.
The fourth layer was quite special, being a valley surrounded by mountains, with the space boundary behind them. Although only about the size of a soccer field, the entire space was filled with graves!
Rows of neat graves, several hundred in number, each identical, yet without a tombstone.
The faint of heart might have been scared enough to wet their pants.
âWhat kind of ghostly place is this?â Feng Wuchen frowned, a chill wind blew past, making him shudder.
Feng Wuchen approached a tomb cautiously. It was worn by the years, its age unknown.
âPerhaps these graves belong to the past masters of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower,â Feng Wuchen guessed.
Besides these eerie graves, there was nothing else peculiar about this layer.
With a thought, Feng Wuchen moved on to the fifth layer of space.
However, the moment Feng Wuchen vanished, a terrifying and eerie scene emerged on the fourth layer.
Hundreds of graves simultaneously manifested ghostly Soul Bodies, each emanating a blue light from their eyes.
In an instant, waves of fearsome energy filled the entire fourth layer, creating a very eerie atmosphere.
Luckily, Feng Wuchen did not witness this scene, or it would have scared him half to death.
The next second, Feng Wuchen had already appeared on the fifth layer.
The fifth layer was only slightly smaller than the fourth, but it was filled with pure energy.
This layer was special and felt peculiar, a dark space with fiery red orbs of energy hanging in the air.
Looking up, it resembled a sky adorned with many sky lanterns.
Gazing at the vast expanse of pure energy orbs, Feng Wuchen showed a delighted expression, exclaiming, âWith so much pure energy, I can surely step into the Tianyuan Realm!â
Just thinking about it excited him, for inside the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower were so many unexpected treasures!
Feng Wuchen extended his hand, attracting an energy orb through the air and swiftly Devoured it into his body.
Running the Supreme Dragon God Technique, he refined the Devoured energy orb.
Within moments, the energy orb was easily refined by Feng Wuchen, who felt his cultivation significantly improve. The purity and vastness of the energy orb were even more powerful than he had imagined.
âHeaven is truly aiding me! Haha!â Feng Wuchen laughed uncontrollably with excitement. With these pure energy bodies, stepping into the Yuan Dan Realm was just a matter of time!
Suppressing the elation in his heart, Feng Wuchen then proceeded to the sixth layer of space.
The sixth layer was also only the size of a basketball court, and it was essentially a fighting ring, surrounded by darkness, with nothing visible.
The ring was covered in numerous sword scars, each more shocking than the last.
âSuch intense killing intent! The sword scars on the ring were all caused by Sword Qi,â Feng Wuchen furrowed his brow. Every corner of this space was filled with terrifying killing intent.
Feng Wuchen found himself in the very center of the ring, watching all around with vigilance. The spaces of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower were extraordinary; the ring was empty, yet emanated such horrifying killing intent, it was impossible for Feng Wuchen not to be cautious.
âWhat is the purpose of this ring? And where does this killing intent come from?â Feng Wuchen frowned in puzzlement, each layer leaving him bewildered.
As Feng Wuchen pondered, a flood of information suddenly entered his mind, causing a painful swell in his head. Sequence after sequence flashed through his thoughts.
In the scenes, a man in white wielding a long sword fought against tens of thousands of enemies. Alone, he battled an entire army, radiating a bloody aura, slaying foes in a frenzy like a Blood Demon incarnate.
What was both exhilarating and terrifying was that the man in white, facing tens of thousands, unleashed overwhelmingly powerful sword lights that swept across the sky, leaving swathes of enemies dead wherever they passed.
âThe cultivation of this man is profound and unfathomable. The killing intent on the ring must have emanated from him. Could he be the master of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower?â Feng Wuchen surmised, eyes closed, watching the sequences unfold.
Each scene depicted the man in white slaying his foes, but every scene was different.
âWhatâs the connection between this person and this space?â Feng Wuchen couldnât figure it out. Soon after, he slowly opened his eyes, coming out of the visions.
âWhoosh!â
âHumming!â
Just as he emerged, a suddenly intense and piercing sonic boom sounded, and a terrifyingly sharp Sword Qi shot towards him, violently shaking the platform and causing Feng Wuchenâs face to drastically change.
On the ring, the man in white from the visions suddenly appeared!
It was shocking! Incredibly shocking!
Faced with such a fearsome Sword Qi, Feng Wuchen had no strength to resist, nor any chance to evade.
Everything happened too suddenly, leaving Feng Wuchen with no opportunity to react.
âItâs him! Iâm done for!â Feng Wuchen exclaimed, his face pale with horror.
