Chapter 1215 - 1213: Reaching the Top Level

Liu Yin directly raised his hand, making the Overlord Gun touch one of the beads!

Under a huge blast sound, the bead immediately exploded, releasing a ripple of energy!

At this moment, Wang Zhan quickly returned to the Sword Spirit’s side, directly shielding the Sword Spirit behind him!

Liu Yin was at the center of the explosion. He only felt a force pushing against his chest, and before he could react, he was sent flying backward. His armor instantly turned to ashes, and his body was covered with injuries!

He collapsed on the ground in an instant, now lacking the strength to stand, with blood inexplicably appearing at the corners of his mouth!

The most unfortunate were those who were just watching the spectacle, they were all completely obliterated as the energy ripple spread. Clearly, they were instantaneously killed by the shockwave caused by those beads!

After all, their strength was evident, how could they withstand the power of this shockwave?

Wang Zhan, however, ignored them. He quickly moved in front of Liu Yin, coldly glanced at him, and spoke disdainfully: "It seems the demonic deity within you was of little use, it couldn’t even protect you! Weren’t you the one who wanted me to face retribution just now? Now, who is truly facing retribution?"

"You..."

Liu Yin gritted his teeth so hard they almost shattered, feeling humiliated by Wang Zhan. It was truly infuriating!

But now he had no strength to retaliate, so he could only glare at Wang Zhan with resentment, and slowly said with clenched teeth: "Don’t be smug! It’s said that to obtain the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, one requires a certain fate. If your fate isn’t up to par, then you’ll eventually die within the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower! So I’ll be waiting on the Netherworld path for you, I believe it won’t be long before you three all come to join me!"

As he finished speaking, Liu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood, mysterious rays appeared on his body, and he then vanished into the void, obviously completely annihilated!

However, as Liu Yin died, a shadow slowly appeared in front of Wang Zhan and his group.

Wang Zhan quickly retreated a few steps, shielding the Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin behind him, watching the shadow cautiously, and then spoke word by word: "What are you? Why didn’t I notice your existence earlier?"

"Could it be you’re one of the trials set by the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower?"

The shadow coldly replied: "I am the demonic deity within Liu Yin. Initially, I wanted to use Liu Yin to help me refine a new body and continue dominating the Star War Battlefield! But I never expected a hindrance, encountering someone as troublesome as you!"

"But that’s mostly because Liu Yin is a loser. I even lent my power to him, and he didn’t notice the bead’s peculiarity, so his loss was deserved! You do have some skills, but that’s still not enough!"

"To be honest, you have no grounds for arrogance before me. However, without a host, I have no right to act, as I’m merely a residual spirit. But I can give you something good, so even if you’re lucky enough to leave the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, you’ll certainly die without a burial place in the future!"

Wang Zhan hadn’t reacted yet, seeing the shadow directly raise a finger, pointing it at Wang Zhan’s forehead!

A second later, the shadow dispersed into space.

As the shadow departed, a door appeared in front of Wang Zhan’s group, clearly the path to the final level!

Wang Zhan eyed the two beside him and pointed at his own forehead, asking: "Has there been any change on my forehead? What was that guy doing just now? Why did he suddenly point at my head?"

Wang Zhan felt no discomfort, nor any difference, thus he was baffled by the other’s intent!

The Sword Spirit beside him frowned and said: "If I didn’t missee, that guy likely planted a curse within your body. This curse won’t threaten you, nor affect your cultivation, but it allows his kin to locate you quickly. No matter where you escape to, they can use this curse to track your position!"

"It’s said to be a means of the Demonic Clan, feared by everyone. It’s unexpected he’d use it on you!"

"But he’s already a spent force, and after deploying that curse, he’s completely turned to dust, never to appear again on the Star War Battlefield. Yet, his anger remains on you, clearly he truly wants you dead."

Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently, knowing it’s understandable. The demonic deity had painstakingly found a suitable host, yet Wang Zhan’s appearance disrupted his plans, leaving him without any host dependency, thus he naturally sought to exact revenge, which was expected!

"Alright, let’s set aside that matter for now. As Liu Yin said, we’re uncertain if we’ll survive leaving the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, so our priority is obtaining it smoothly. Now that the door is here, we shouldn’t waste time, moreover my previous thinking evidently was over the top, it seems the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower did not require us to fight each other!"

"That’s rather humane!"

In fact, Wang Zhan was always worried about one thing, if the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower required only one person to enter the final level, how would he choose?

Would he fight against the Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin beside him?

To protect himself, both of their powers faced substantial blows, all observed by Wang Zhan!

So if attacking them now, Wang Zhan had the absolute confidence, even easily resolving them, yet that was not the scene Wang Zhan wished to see!

The Sword Spirit beside him also crossed his arms and said: "Anyway, the result’s the same, we’re about to enter the final level together, seeing we have three people here, even if you don’t acquire the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, perhaps the two of us might have that chance?"

Wang Zhan nodded, with a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Regardless of who acquires the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, it doesn’t matter, as long as it belongs to one of the three, it’s enough!

Perhaps this is why the Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin stick by each other’s side, walking all this way with Wang Zhan?

The three were just one, so they need not fuss over anything!

But just as Wang Zhan was about to enter, he suddenly noticed Fire Qilin beside him, quickly approaching and hurriedly asking: "I almost forgot, weren’t you severely injured and permanently unconscious? But now you’re suddenly fine, what’s going on?"

The aura of Fire Qilin is extremely weakened, clearly still in a weakened state, he gives a helpless smile, waves his hand, and says lightly: "I’m hardly as well as you think, I’ve not recovered to peak state, I’m merely holding on because I don’t want to drag you two down, can’t expect you both to carry me all the time, right?"

"I’m a Divine Beast after all, so my recovery rate is naturally faster than you and Sword Spirit, no need to worry. I believe the final level lacks any test, even if it contains something, it’ll require you to face it alone, I can tell Sword Spirit is quite injured too, unable to continue fighting, isn’t it?"

Sword Spirit nodded, having nothing to hide from these two, it’s indeed true.

Wang Zhan scratched his head with a laugh, then hurriedly said: "Fine, as long as you are alright, everything else is unimportant, even if I stand before you both, so what? As long as the three of us face no issues, that’s fortune amidst misfortune! Even if we can’t obtain the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, as long as we safely leave, that’s gained!"

Wang Zhan has those beads, and the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation has undergone some tempering, all in all, it’s beneficial!

Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit exchange a smile, shaking their heads.

Wang Zhan, truly a pragmatic person!

In an instant, they entered the door, soon reaching the final level!

Looking around, the last level appeared peaceful, and didn’t seem much different, indeed exceeding their expectations.

Wang Zhan inspected the surroundings, locking onto a spot, then pointed to an exquisite pagoda not far away: "This should be the mini version of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, right?"

"Should be!"

Sword Spirit quickly approached and added: "Let’s check it out!"
