1671: C1671 Bottom

C1671 Bottom

The two of them had already been delayed in the city for a long time, but they still had to continue to be delayed here, because the two of them could not leave right now.

There was no way for them to fly out of this level, nor would they be able to go from this level to the next.

Although this place was safe for the time being, it was empty without any clues for others to follow. Zhong Ming could not help but be stuck in a difficult situation. This kind of thing seemed to be a difficult problem that could not be solved.

They walked to a place that was a little bit closer to the outside. It looked like a small, enclosed corner. They sat down and began to ponder over the strange and unpredictable ancient pagoda.

What was the purpose of the tower designed by the person who designed it? That was Zhong Ming's current concern. Zhong Ming didn't know what his purpose was. If he couldn't guess what he did to build this tower, then he wouldn't be able to find a way to solve this current dilemma.

Such a long distance is not a problem for Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao, but why build such a long distance?" And it's been set up so terrifyingly? At such a long distance, if it wasn't a cultivator who couldn't possibly jump down, he would still have a chance at survival. Moreover, even if it was a real cultivator, this height was probably not easy to control. How could there be no staircase or anything in such a huge space? This did not make sense. If this was truly the case, then where did the people who built this tower go? Where did they escape from? Or perhaps, they had all died in this tower …

Thinking about this, Zhong Ming shuddered. If they wanted to build such a tower, the amount of people expended would be uncountable. If so many commoners died in this tower, how fierce would the tower be?!

The origins of this tower were unknown. Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao did not know the history of the Psionic Imperial Realm. One of them was not from the Psionic Imperial Realm, and the other had just revived and didn't know anything.

People said that this was a place where they were imprisoned and it was extremely dangerous. However, since they had walked all the way here, they did not know of any place that was so dangerous that they could not deal with Xuan Hao. It was just that because of the illusion of being everywhere, they went to different places one after the other. Logically speaking, this level of danger should not be the kind of demonic mountain range that was rumored to be in the world. At most, it should be similar to the level of danger in the large forest where demon beasts roamed. This was their attitude towards Mt. Huan Gou. It was as if this mountain was going to eat people. No one could come out when they went in. Thinking of this, Zhong Ming couldn't help but frown. Those pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes were brewing a storm.

Zhong Ming felt that there must be a main control room, or a lifting device. If they were going to go down from here, the first thing they would do would be to rely on their intelligence. They had only been able to see the side of the window and the area around it, but they hadn't seen any of the control room or any of the other traps.

Zhong Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Was he wrong?

Zhong Ming thought for a while. Other than this smart method, there was another way, which was to use force to defend himself. Starting from the top, layer after layer, they disintegrated what seemed like an exceptionally terrifying mechanism.

Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao now saw each other's condition clearly. Zhong Ming's Spiritual Energy had already recovered, but he had exhausted some of his mental energy. Although the Spiritual Sense was not damaged, it still looked a little tired. Xuan Hao, on the other hand, had already recovered from his previous breakdown. He had arranged his mind and heart and everything. The two of them were fully equipped, looking for another way out.

In the middle of this floor was a huge pillar. All of the space was centered around this pillar, including the formation that was set up around this pillar. It was unknown if it was because of the concealing magical formation, but the pillar had actually appeared. Of course, this was the place that Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao found from the corner near the window.

After the formation was broken down, there were no other accidents, and the stones on the ground had all turned into ashes. They had originally thought that everything was over, but they never thought that there would be such a pillar in a distant corner. Even the entire spatial structure had quietly changed.

It was very possible that it was because of Zhong Ming's full power attack just now that the structure of the pagoda had changed. The location of Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao hadn't changed at all, and at that time, the sound of lightning striking was also very loud, so it could have been hidden from the outside world. That was why when they came out of the small corner, they suddenly discovered this pillar.

They didn't know when the pillar had appeared, but it was surrounded by circle after circle of engravings. The deep and shallow patterns on it were still unheard-of patterns that Xuan Hao and Zhong Ming had never seen before.

However, the two of them were not entangled with this. They only had one goal, and that was to find the control center. This pillar appears to be located in the center of the tower. It should be a very good choice for the control center. However, apart from the inscriptions on the pillar, there was nothing else worth noting.

The two men looked at each other. Xuan Hao walked a few steps backwards. He seemed a little disappointed. He wanted to find a new clue, perhaps even a different escape route. Zhong Ming, however, felt that something was wrong.

After Xuan Hao had walked less than five steps, Zhong Ming's line of sight was attracted by the particularly careful line on the pillar.

These markings … Zhong Ming looked at the specific lines on it, they seemed like a tiger, but the drawing was really abstract and Zhong Ming couldn't figure out the specific meaning behind it.

Zhong Ming stared at the thing that looked especially profound and couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch it. At the same time, Xuan Hao took another step forward.

Zhong Ming looked at the unknown pattern and felt a bit sad.

His hand was indecisive and indeterminate, but in the end he reached for the point where the impression was particularly deep.

Only then did Zhong Ming realize that this shape actually looked like a drop of tear.

The moment Zhong Ming touched it, the whole ground started to shake violently. Xuan Hao almost stumbled and fell down. He suddenly turned around and ran to Zhong Ming's side. Zhong Ming was shocked to find that the layer he was on was slowly sliding downwards!

After withdrawing his hand from the pillar and stabilizing his body, Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao used all of their Spiritual Energy for their own defense. Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao would definitely go through all the tortures they had just witnessed with their sudden descent. They had to equip themselves in advance.

Zhong Ming never expected that he would use the method he had thought of to force his way in without any preparation. It was a truly frightening mistake. One misstep could lead to eternal hatred.

Zhong Ming quickly informed Xuan Hao through telepathy. Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly hid in a space and made sure not to lose his name. Both of them had firm gazes, as though they were brave warriors who were willing to face death with their lives at stake. They were fully equipped with the equipment that surrounded them.

However, contrary to Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao's expectations, there wasn't a single bit of attack along the way.

Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao didn't have any thoughts about their own situation because of this. Right now, they couldn't protect themselves, so they took many wrong steps, and even if they didn't attack now, they probably wouldn't have any time to rest, so they were fully armed as they looked around at the darkness surrounding them. In the blink of an eye, they passed by one combat zone after another, and they could only look on helplessly as the walls were filled with guns, short swords, and crossbows.1

"Boom!" A huge collision sound rang out. Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao's feet suddenly shook. Their feet were almost broken from the impact, but their eyes and minds were completely focused on this bottom level item.

It was a very large thing that protruded outwards like a mountain. However, the faint inscription on it was exactly the same as the one on the puppet that Zhong Ming had seen …

When Zhong Ming saw it, Xuan Hao naturally saw it as well. However, when Xuan Hao saw it, he found something different.

The patterns on it seemed to be the same as the ones on the puppet, but they were also different. The markings on the puppet's surface were positive and revolved clockwise. But right now, the markings on the puppet's front were reversed and rotated counterclockwise. The thin lines looked completely different from the black ones on the puppet's body. However, the rough shape and even the thickness of the lines were more or less the same.

It looked like the puppets were the same person as the tower and the city's architect. There was nothing to doubt about that.

However, the mountain in front of him, or in other words, the mountain-like object, seemed to occupy almost all the space on this level …

Zhong Ming looked at the mysterious black pattern thoughtfully and scanned the surroundings slowly. Only then did he realize that there were flags of unknown meaning scattered all around the mountain. The colors of these flags were all dark red, and in this layer of space, there was no wind. The patterns on the flags seemed incomplete and dilapidated, and the blood on the lower flagpoles dried up in the dark, leaving behind patches of dark red. Each flagpole had iron chains at the bottom, coiling around each other and forming a grand suppression formation that was forcefully sealed by the iron chains.

There was a black crystal floating above the mountain in the middle of the formation. It continuously revolved in the center of the formation and emitted a faint light.

On this floor, the last floor, Zhong Ming had never thought of using such an extreme suppression formation to suppress the ancient evil spirits.

Since Zhong Ming was like this, Xuan Hao was even more surprised. Their dragon race and god race lived together in the God Realm, and this kind of suppression formation was still very high even among the God Realm's rank, so the people of the God Realm had no idea about this formation, and during the Great War of Gods and Demons in the ancient times, the God Realm had only used Xuan Hao as a medium to construct this enormous suppression formation. This way, they used it to suppress the Demon Sovereign on the other realms of the realms for forty-nine days. However, this was only the legends he had heard before, as well as the formation diagrams recorded by his descendants. Back then, he had been dizzy from reading them and had completely lost interest in them. In the God Clan, he hadn't even seen such a formation in the God Realm, but he had seen it here!

Where did the master of this place come from? He was not only proficient in formations and was knowledgeable in mechanisms, but was also so knowledgeable that it even involved formations from the God Realm?
