As the Universe Turns - Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Level 36

On the 35th floor, Xiao Chen had already successfully challenged. Now, he needed to go to the 36th floor immediately. Without any hesitation, he rushed into the teleportation formation in an instant.

When he arrived at the 36th level of the illusion, he saw a terrifying beast sleeping inside. It was like a hill, and its entire body was filled with a murderous aura. He needed to kill this beast before he could successfully challenge it.

It was too late to prepare. Xiao Chen raised his hand and immediately condensed three golden flying swords, slashing towards the sleeping exotic beast.

Although this exotic beast was an illusion, it was also condensed into its life force. In an instant, it sensed that someone was attacking. It immediately opened its eyes and two blood-red rays shot out from its eyes. With a loud “clang” sound, the three flying swords were shattered apart.

“Roar!”

The beast glared angrily at Xiao Chen and suddenly stood up. A murderous aura rushed out from its body, as if it caused the entire illusion to tremble.

Xiao Chen’s palm condensed. He didn’t expect this exotic beast to be so powerful. It was much more terrifying than the other exotic beasts below. It seemed that he could only use it again to control his life and death …

…

In the hall on the first floor outside, there was only a tiny bit of starlight left on the incense stick beside the teleportation array. Everyone stared closely at the changes in the rankings on the Heavenly Polarity Rankings. Ling Luan was also so anxious that he stamped his feet, “Liao Wuchen, hurry up! Hurry up!”

Finally, the incense stick was extinguished, and the last strand of ashes fell. However, at this moment, the word “Liao Wuchen” rose from the 35th floor to the 36th floor on the Heavenly Polarity Rankings, while “Qin E”, who was originally on the 36th floor, landed on the 35th floor.

“He …”

Everyone felt that this was somewhat inconceivable, but the faces of the elders revealed extremely complicated expressions. They were both shocked and puzzled.

What was surprising was that Xiao Chen was able to reach the 36th floor in half an hour. What was puzzling was how he could challenge the 36th floor faster than the 35th floor. It was impossible for beasts on the 36th floor to be killed so easily. Even if they were unable to do so, they would not be able to use magic treasures in the illusion. What exactly did this person do?

The crowd began to whisper. Because the time limit was up, he stopped at the thirty-sixth floor. What if there was enough time? Would he reach the peak of the Earth Word Realm where Feng Gufei was?

The entire hall was filled with discussions. Not only was Xiao Chen’s ascension to the tower unexpected, he had also pushed Qin E down from the peak of the Fourth Realm. With the temperament of a daughter of the Heavenly Tide Sword Sect, how could she let it go?

If Xiao Chen reached the 37th floor, and the 37th floor happened to be empty, then Qin E’s ranking would not change. However, now that Xiao Chen had stayed on the 36th floor, he would naturally push Qin E to the 35th floor. Although there was only one floor left, the two were far from each other. After all, the 36th floor was at the peak of the 4th realm.

At this moment, the crowd was talking nonstop. It was as if they had already seen Qin E’s frosty face when she went to fight for Liao Wuchen’s life tomorrow.

After a long time, Xiao Chen slowly walked out of the teleportation array. There was nothing strange about him, but the two elders were a little strange. Why did he stay inside for so long before coming out?

“Liao Wuchen! Here, here!”

Ling Luan smiled and ran over. Xiao Chen looked at her and finally said “Thank you” before leaving.

Ling Luan stood behind him and watched with interest as he left. She smiled and said to herself, “So the Ice Cube Face also says thank you? Eh, no, why did he just …”

…

Tonight, there was no light in the starry moon. The room was deathly lifeless. It was not until midnight that Xiao Chen once again used the Jade Light Heart Technique to suppress the deathly energy on his body. At this moment, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his palm and looked at the fading black gas in his palm. Controlling life and death, what exactly was controlling life and death?

Xiao Chen stood up and went outside. Under the dim light, the flowers and grass in the vicinity of the pavilion withered again. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown.

He had reached the 36th floor today. He could see Senior Lonely Lamp. Tomorrow, someone would definitely come here. He couldn’t let anyone see these withered flowers and plants. Because when he was at the Extreme Heaven Pagoda today, he could feel that the two elders were already suspicious.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He raised his palms and immediately used the life force that controlled life and death. These withered flowers and plants had actually quickly regained their vitality.

However, this scene happened to be seen by a person hiding in the distance.

“Who is it!”

Xiao Chen sensed a trace of aura fluctuation. With a “whoosh” sound, a Blood Transformation Needle instantly shot over. In a critical moment, the Blood Transformation Needle stopped and stopped an inch in front of the man’s eyebrows.

“It’s … Liao Wuchen, it’s me …”

Ling Luan was frightened by his current appearance. Xiao Chen frowned and instantly withdrew the Blood Transformation Needle. He said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

“I, I … I was just worried about you …”

Ling Luan’s face was still a little pale. He slowly walked out of the bushes and walked towards him step by step. Looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard that were once again glowing with life, he said in a daze, “These flowers and plants have obviously withered, but just now, Liao Wuchen, you … why did you …”

“You saw it.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned extremely cold.

Ling Luan couldn’t help but shiver. Suddenly, she remembered that day. She had clearly cast a spell on that bouquet of flowers, and it was impossible for it to wither. There were also flowers and grass outside, as well as his terrifying appearance at that time. She couldn’t tell what that aura was, but it made her feel extremely uncomfortable …

“Liao Wuchen, tell me, what happened to you? Why did you bring these flowers and plants back to life? And that day, on you …”

As Ling Luan spoke, she slowly tried to approach him. Xiao Chen’s eyes were still cold, “Don’t ask.”

“No …”

Ling Luan shook his head. “I’m different from the others. I can feel it. Liao Wuchen, tell me, is something in your body?” That’s why … you told me that I can help you and I can treat you. Even if I can’t, my grandfather will definitely be able to. You must not know who my grandfather is, right? I can tell you, but you can’t tell anyone, and I won’t tell anyone about you … ”

“No need.”

Xiao Chen turned around and went up to the attic. Ling Luan took a step forward and stretched out his hand. “Liao Wuchen, wait!”

“Ling Luan.”

Xiao Chen suddenly turned around and Ling Luan was stunned. This was the first time he had called out his name. He asked in a daze, “What is it? Tell me … I won’t tell anyone about tonight.”

Xiao Chen looked at her quietly and said, “Stay away from me.”
