going onEspecially Zheng Huayang, his face grew increasingly ugly.Zhu Liang, who was a highly-paid expert hired by the Zheng family as an elder, couldn't even block one move from his opponent.It's als..."What kind of trickery is this"

After being swallowed by the Heavenly Purple Flame, the pressure on everyone suddenly decreased by half.

Ye Bufan was also quite surprised, he didn't expect there to be such an operation.

Suddenly, he had an idea. Since the Burning Heaven Purple Flame could devour the flames here, his Heavenly Thunder Pearl could also absorb the power of lightning here.

Before, when I was at the seventh level, the Sky Thunder Pearl consumed a massive amount of energy. So much thunderous power, it's unknown how many years it would take to fully recover.

But things are different now. The lightning all around us is like a gift that has been brought to our doorstep.

At this thought, he had a mind's eye flicker and the Heaven Thunder Pearl once again soared into the air.

As it turned out, his method was very effective. The Sky Thunder Bead began to frantically devour the surrounding electrical power like a raging purple flame.

Everyone felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from their shoulders. All the previous stress seemed to vanish.

Looking at the flame before them and the pearl that glittered with lightning, the three disciples of the Huajian School all revealed envious and covetous expressions.

Whether it's a spiritual fire or a divine weapon, both are the most coveted treasures for a cultivator.

The sea of thunderfire before them initially met the attack of the Burning Heaven Violet Flame and Sky Thunder Orb with frenzied assaults, constantly charging at them.

Later, he realized something was amiss. The flames and lightning seemed to possess a sentience of their own, knowing they were destined to be consumed. They immediately retreated to the sides, vanishing quickly.

The Heaven Thunder Orb hovered in mid-air. Though it hadn't been long, the power of thunder and lightning within it had fully recovered, even surpassing its previous strength by a significant margin.

At this moment, a soft hum emanates, as if it's still not satisfied.

"Alright, know when to stop!"

Ye Bufan reached out and took it back, feeling quite happy in his heart. He didn't expect this treasure to be restored so quickly.

Then he looked at the burning Heaven Purple Flame again, or rather, it wasn't purple anymore.

After a period of intense absorption, the Heaven Burning Violet Flame has undergone a transformation. It has changed from its previous deep purple hue to a light blue.

"This... This is a promotion"

Compared to the restored Sky-Thunder Orb, the changes in the different fire made him even happier.

Generally speaking, it's extremely difficult for heterofire to level up, but I unexpectedly accomplished it by chance.

It's obvious that this wasn't an ordinary flame before. After absorbing it, it had a significant nourishing effect on the alien fire.

The Burning Sky Purple Flame at this moment had completely turned a pale blue, looking extremely gentle. But Ye Bufan could feel the power contained within it, which was more than ten times stronger than before.

In any case, this is a good thing. He also put away the alien fire.

The three members of the Huajian faction retracted their envious gazes and once again looked into the tower that reached for the heavens.

At this moment, the sea of thunder and fire miraculously vanished, revealing the true nature of this place.

All that surrounded the scorched earth was nothing, not a single blade of grass.

Now everyone looked disappointed, saying where was the treasure they had been promised, why was there nothing here

That is indeed the case. Even within this eighth layer, not a single blade of grass can be found, let alone any rare herbs or other treasures.

Ye Bufan also frowned slightly. In the first six layers, he could find some spirit grass and treasures everywhere, but as he went higher, there was nothing at all.

Normally, the treasures found higher up should be more precious. But what's before us is clearly the opposite.

After confirming there were no more dangers, the five people continued their journey, constantly searching in hopes of an unexpected discovery.

This left them disappointed. After searching for so long, they were about to see the passage leading to the ninth floor, but they still found nothing.

And this eighth layer was even smaller than the seventh, with an area of about a thousand zhang.

Ye Bufan said, “Let's go to the ninth floor and have a look.”

"That's right, we're going to the ninth floor. I don't believe there aren't any treasures there."

Hua Ru Yu said a huffily and then the five of them together stepped into the pillar of light leading to the ninth floor.

Everyone outside the 通天塔 was staring intently at the light curtain, originally thinking that the time spent staying on this eighth floor would definitely be much longer than on the seventh floor.

But unexpectedly, after just a couple of hours, the five lights ascended to the ninth layer together.

"What on earth is going on How did they do that"

"The ninth layer, my god! This is the first time since the beginning of time that anyone has reached the ninth layer..."

"At this rate, are they going to make it to the tenth floor"

Those outside were all shocked, including the elders of various sects. No one knew what kind of opportunities awaited above the ninth layer of the Heavenly Ascension Tower.

At this moment, everyone is like they've been injected with chicken blood, their eyes wide and fixed on the screen, eagerly anticipating what kind of miracle will happen next.

On the other hand, Ye Bufan and the others' hearts were lifted, filled with intense anxiety.

Just having entered the eighth layer, we were met with a sea of thunder and fire. I wonder what dangers await us in the ninth layer.

Everyone was grim-faced, frantically running their true essence, forming a protective aura of true energy, and completely entering a combat state.

When they walked out of the passage, they were stunned by the scene before them. They stood there like wooden sculptures, each one frozen in place.

Compared to the eighth layer, the ninth layer's area shrank considerably, about the size of a hundred zhang.

After walking out, the pressure here was much less than before, almost indistinguishable from outside. Moreover, the spiritual energy was abundant, making one feel incredibly comfortable.

But what was most unbearable for them was that their eyes were met with a mountain of treasures. A veritable pile of spirit stones, all of the highest grade.

There's also a Spirit Herb Garden next to it, brimming with spiritual herbs. There are golden Jade Sun Ginseng roots as thick as maces, and ten thousand-year-old Snow Spirit Grass. And there's even a millennium Lingzhi mushroom as big as a millstone.

On the other side were all sorts of alchemy materials, in short, any treasure pulled out here would be a great temptation for cultivators.

For a moment, all five of them widened their eyes, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and only the sound of swallowing could be heard.

"Great stuff! All great stuff!"

Looking at the treasure before her, Hua Ru Yu's eyes lit up. "No wonder the bottom two layers were empty, all the treasures are here."

Ye Bufan took a deep breath, calming the surging emotions within him. With so many top-grade spirit stones, he wondered what realm his cultivation could reach.

But his rationality was still present, cautiously saying: "Everyone should still be careful, who knows what other dangers might be here."

"You're right, we need to be extra careful now more than ever."

The three members of the Huajian Pai also nodded in agreement. The five of them began to slowly advance, getting closer to the treasures while keeping a wary eye on their surroundings, ready for battle at any moment.

He had come right up to the treasure but found nothing amiss. Afterward, the five of them spread out again, searching every corner of the ninth floor, but they still found no danger.

Ye Bufan glanced at the corner of the ninth floor. Unlike the usual beams of light leading to the tenth floor, this one was a staircase that went on forever and ever.

This surprised him, he didn't know what was different about this layer.

But the most important thing now is to deal with these treasures at hand. We can talk about the tenth floor later.

A few people confirmed their safety and returned to the pile of treasures. Hua Ru Yu said, "Little brother, with so many treasures, how should we distribute them"n was still a little confused, but when she saw that he was completely naked, her face instantly turned pale with terror, and she opened her mouth to scream.Ye Bufan was startled. If he were really sh...
