Chapter 300: Skull Valley

Lin Xuan was speechless. He thought that the little guy had encountered some danger and was worried for nothing.
Immediately after, the two of them searched the eighth level for several days but did not discover anything special about the eighth level.
Instead, the prodigies of the various large families increased in number, each of them becoming extremely irritable.
“It’s already been ten days. What secrets does this eighth level have?”
“If we don’t enter the ninth level now, we’ll be covered in hair if we continue staying here.”
Some geniuses could not endure such dullness. This was because in the verbal battle, the number of times they fought increased, and countless geniuses died because of this.
Although from the fourth level onwards, each level had treasures rewarded by the Heaven Ascension Tower, this could not make them calm down.
This was like having a total of ten doors to tell you what treasure was hidden in the tenth door. The first nine doors could be easily pushed open, and the tenth door could not be opened no matter what. Wasn’t this a worrying situation?
Lin Xuan and Huang Hao grabbed a few more demon beasts. The fragrant smell of roasted meat spread out for a radius of a hundred miles. Some prodigies rushed over when they smelled it, but when they saw the two people roasting the meat, their expressions turned green.
They were two freaking monsters. Who would dare to steal their food?
He immediately felt that the roasted meat was not fragrant.
Time flew. Eleven months had passed in the outside world. Two years and nine months had passed in the mystic realm. Countless prodigies of the families had entered.
The elders waiting outside the mystic realm did not feel that time had passed at all.
For cultivators, once they closed their eyes and opened them, thousands or even tens of thousands of years might have passed. A few years were very fast for them. It was less than a year now, and they could not sense the flow of time at all.
The mystic realm in the Endless Sea opened every certain time. Countless geniuses entered before and after, but the treasures inside were forever endless, like a mystery.
In such a long time, when some geniuses first entered, they were only at the Qi Refinement realm. After obtaining many treasures, they had already entered the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm or even the Circulation Sea Realm. Their gains were not small.
However, the souls sent out from the dead could only remember a portion of the information in the mystic realm. Some scattered information made these old antiques guess, but they were unable to know the information inside.
“This time, the mystic realm has been open for a long time.” The old antique in the void opened his eyes and a stream of light shot out.
The old antique of the Yin Yang family nodded, “Previously, the longest time the mystic realm opened was eight months. This time, it’s about to be a year old. It’s a little abnormal.”
An elder of a small family clan frowned. They were inferior to those large factions. There were many geniuses nurtured by them, and it was fine even if a few died.
It was already good enough for one to appear in these small families.
If something happened to the mystic realm this time and they died in it, there would be a gap in the younger generation for decades to come. It could not help but worry.
“Ah!” A miserable cry sounded from the entrance of the mystic realm, but it was stopped by that strange power. The voice sounded, but the soul did not come out.
“Old Freak Xu, why does it sound like your genius?” The thin old man said with a smile.
The old antique of the Xu family had a livid expression.
“Old man, don’t cause trouble. I’ll slap you even if you’re angry.” The old antique of the Xu family wished he could attack. His Xu family had received the news late. Coincidentally, the Xu family’s Saint Child was training nearby and was sent in. Now that he had died, how could there be a genius of the Xu family inside?
An ominous feeling appeared in the Dragon Kingdom’s Great General’s heart. Why did he feel that it was the fifth prince’s voice?
However, when he thought of the five princes entering at the same time, especially the Eldest Prince, who had another identity, he believed that no one could make them suffer a loss. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes again.
Because of this voice, countless experts discussed among themselves who the genius was.
There were even some old antiques who almost fought. Even if they couldn’t win in words, couldn’t they win in a fight?
In contrast, the guardian of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty who had been replaced stood alone in the void and did not say a word.
Damn, so many geniuses had died. It was strange that they still had the mood to chat.
In the mystic realm, the environment of the eighth level suddenly changed drastically.
Mountains and rivers shattered, and the world changed greatly. The crescent moon above their heads fell to the ground, and countless geniuses died under this crescent moon.
The mountains, rivers, plants, and insects disappeared at this moment.
Countless huge rocks rose from the ground. Between the two huge rocks, a grave would appear from time to time.
At the front of the eighth level, a valley in the shape of a skull appeared with a rumbling sound. It was like the door of ten thousand ghosts, and it gave others a gloomy feeling.
Under this cold wind, a green tunnel appeared and went straight to the skull’s mouth.
Countless geniuses looked at the skull valley that was filled with a gloomy aura and could not help but feel their backs go cold.
Some female cultivators even hid behind their partners and did not even dare to look at them.
Why did the eighth level suddenly become like hell?
At this moment, six large words appeared in the sky.
“Enter the mouth of the ghost and know your fate!”
These words immediately attracted the gazes of countless geniuses, and they were shocked.
“What dense Yin qi!”
When a cultivator who was skilled in ancient tombs saw this scene, he could not help but frown. This was an ominous sign.
“We’re only a step away from the ninth level. Even if there are mountains of blades and seas of flames ahead, we have to try it.” A cultivator did not believe this and stepped in.
However, before he took two steps, the black aura in the tunnel enveloped him and turned him into a corpse in the blink of an eye.
Hiss! This was a fourth level Foundation Establishment realm cultivator. Under this Yin qi, he actually did not even have the strength to resist.
“I’ll try too!”
A Circulation Sea Realm cultivator emitted a shocking sword qi and stepped into the passageway. The Yin qi was like an ordinary aura and was not a threat to him.
Immediately after, two more peak Foundation Establishment realm cultivators entered. They did not walk as easily as the Circulation Sea Realm cultivator, but they were fine.
A fifth level Foundation Establishment realm cultivator walked in trembling. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood but continued with a trembling body.
Everyone’s eyes revealed shock. Fifth-stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivators could be considered geniuses of small families in the outside world. Even some large sects were inner sect disciples, but they barely reached the threshold to enter here.
At this moment, everyone understood why in so many tens of thousands of years, only a few people had entered the ninth level of Heaven Ascension Tower.
The first three levels looked simple, but towards the end, every step was dangerous. If one was not careful, they would die here.
In an instant, more than 3,000 geniuses were left among the tens of thousands of geniuses who entered.. A large number of cultivators were eliminated in this round.
