Chapter 1203 - 1201: Breaking Through the Trials

After everyone exchanged glances, they all laughed out loud, clearly not taking Wang Zhan and his companions seriously.

Actually, Wang Zhan had long been aware.

Within the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, there are its own rules. The more people who enter, the intensity of the trial increases accordingly, and if three people enter at the same time, it essentially triples the difficulty!

However, Wang Zhan didn’t want to leave Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin outside waiting, and they felt the same way. Since they already knew how challenging it was inside, they naturally needed to stay by Wang Zhan’s side, even if it meant increasing the difficulty!

As long as the three of them do not separate, they might have a chance to resolve all the issues!

Moreover, no matter what they encounter, they can rely on each other!

Wang Zhan and the others ignored their words and quickly entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

Inside the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower is a void space, capable of accommodating many people, but none would actually meet here; instead, they each advance through the trials individually!

Anyone who can quickly reach the ninth level can become the master of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!

But it is said that the difficulty of each level is immense, and ordinary people barely pass the first three layers. Wang Zhan and his companions are clearly playing with fire, but no one persuaded him; after all, one less opponent is beneficial to them. Plus, outsiders are merely there to watch the excitement, and they did not take Wang Zhan and his companions seriously. Since they can’t become the master of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower even alone, there’s no need to continue dealing with them!

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and the others had already reached a new space.

Looking around, there are Soul Bodies floating around in the air, but Wang Zhan could sense that there’s a wave of energy fluctuation on their bodies, definitely not as simple as they appeared!

"Everyone be careful; these Soul Bodies might be peculiar, and since we have never entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, and are unaware of what it truly holds, we need to proceed with caution to avoid unexpected incidents!"

Wang Zhan directly warned the two companions beside him.

Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement, sticking closely behind Wang Zhan.

Having entered here, they naturally needed to follow Wang Zhan’s lead, acting according to his plan; only then can they prevent any mishaps!

Also, it would offer maximum protection to Wang Zhan.

Suddenly, the Soul Bodies swiftly converged into one, forming a massive shadow with a grim appearance, coldly gazing at Wang Zhan and his companions, its entire being emanating killing intent!

"Interlopers must die!"

The shadow spoke in a dull tone, spitting out several words, and as it spoke, even the energies of Heaven and Earth seemed to stir!

Despite being within the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, aware that everything was an illusion, Wang Zhan and the others could still feel the tremor from the ground, clearly showing this shadow was not as simple as it seemed!

Wang Zhan and his companions retreated quickly, forming a triangle by leaning on each other, ensuring clear visibility of their surroundings!

Uncertain of the shadow’s true strength, Wang Zhan quickly grabbed the Absolute Heaven’s Sword from his pocket, coldly staring at the shadow, evidently ready for battle!

Even though they had just entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, Wang Zhan could not underestimate this figure; One should know that even the lowest levels are not easily conquered by many!

"Now I understand why those who entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower before did not exit, and consequently vanished without a trace. It seems likely they have completely merged with everything inside, and now are spirits within the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower!"

"These people are truly laughable, treating themselves as food for the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower."

Beside him, Fire Qilin shook his head, crossing his arms in disdain, and said, "Isn’t it because these people harbored greed, knowing full well they lacked the ability to enter the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, yet held onto a sliver of wishful thinking of becoming its master? They ultimately met this end; how truly laughable!"

Wang Zhan remained silent, feeling a bit embarrassed.

If not for the close relationship with these two, Wang Zhan might suspect they were talking about him!

But now was not the time to worry about these things; they needed to resolve the matter at hand quickly!

With a loud crash from the sky, the shadow abruptly lunged at Wang Zhan and his companions; fortunately, Wang Zhan reacted quickly, clashing instantly with the shadow!

Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin held nothing back, swiftly making a move. With their combined forces, the shadow soon faltered, retreating repeatedly!

Wang Zhan stood proudly in midair, raising the Absolute Heaven’s Sword in his hand and striking down upon the shadow fiercely. As sword shadows descended, the shadow was dispersed, and the Soul Bodies forming it vanished, evidently leaving the space for good!

But all of this was the consequence of these beings’ actions. Blocking Wang Zhan and his companions’ path warranted a corresponding price!

Having resolved the shadow before them, Wang Zhan and the others suddenly felt enveloped in darkness, quickly transitioning to the next region, contrasting significantly with the previous. It was a vast expanse of white, with no discernible differences!

Wang Zhan slightly squinted his eyes, staring at the white expanse, and slowly said, "This isn’t as simple as it seems, and passing through here is unlikely to be easy, so we must remain cautious!"

Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin nodded, coming to understand that this place was truly bothersome, so being careful was essential!

Shortly after, Wang Zhan and the others meticulously searched the area, yet found no obstruction. Could it be that this layer didn’t require combat for passage, unlike the next?

Suddenly, as Wang Zhan was about to consult the two behind him, he found they were gone.

Wang Zhan’s expression quickly darkened, calling urgently towards the direction where they last were: "Fire Qilin? Sword Spirit? Where did you go? Why disappear without warning? Don’t play games here, we need to deal with the present situation first!"

But no response came from them.

Wang Zhan felt a sense of foreboding.

Considering their capabilities here, even if some expert existed in this space, it couldn’t stealthily abduct them, right?

While Wang Zhan hadn’t sorted out everything, he suddenly felt a sense of illusion, dizziness setting in, collapsing heavily to the ground the next second!

Upon reawakening, Wang Zhan felt the surroundings had drastically changed; it was no longer the region he’d stayed in!

"Where is this..."

Wang Zhan’s face darkened considerably, his breath becoming rapid.

"This is the barrier where Xiang Tian died, how could I suddenly arrive here? Can this space fulfill regrets? If..."

As Wang Zhan was contemplating, he suddenly saw Xiang Tian appear before him!

Wang Zhan hurried over to Xiang Tian, feeling heavily indebted, his heart unable to let go of Xiang Tian; but death is irreversible, and watching Xiang Tian die before him proved...

Wang Zhan’s expression soured further, keeping a distance from Xiang Tian, hesitating briefly before saying, "Xiang Tian is dead, so who are you? Don’t play tricks before me, while I can’t control my emotions, I have reason!"

"The reality that the dead cannot revive, surely you and I both understand, so who are you? Don’t force my hand!"

Wang Zhan watched warily the figure before him, inquiring sharply.

Xiang Tian simply donned a faint smile, casually saying, "Aren’t I your good brother? Have you forgotten the past events between us? We can chat over what happened before, and you will believe me!"

"I am your good brother, and you intend to fight me? Surely you haven’t forgotten that because of you, I lost my life; don’t you feel guilt?"

Every word hit the heart!

Wang Zhan felt a pain in his chest, clutching it for a moment before firmly saying, "No!"

"Even if you are Xiang Tian, you wouldn’t speak to me this way! He would never blame me!"
