"What kind of pill is this?"
Nangong Luo looked at the pill in his hand, watching its color slowly fade, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. He was an eighth-tier alchemist and had never seen such a pill.
"Are you really Second Senior Brother?"
Chu Lingwei watched the pill change. Second Senior Brother had always been with her, and this pill could help her recognize Second Senior Brother's scent.
"So, Junior Sister hasn't recognized Second Senior Brother yet." Nangong Luo was both angry and helpless. In Junior Sister's eyes, he had no distinguishing features.
"How could two people enter here at the same time?"
Chu Lingwei had always regarded this place as a test. If it was a test, two people shouldn't have entered at the same time.
"Who knows? This place is filled with strangeness. I don't think it's a good thing." Nangong Luo stood up, put away the spirit gathering chair, and pointed to the stairs he had just come down. "Junior Sister, do you want to go up and take a look?"
"Okay, let's go up and take a look."
Chu Lingwei and Nangong Luo walked to the third floor together. It was ordinary, with nothing there.
"I was trapped here just now and couldn't find an exit." Nangong Luo's eyes became serious. The stairs they came up were already gone, and this place was the same as where he had been just now.
"You said this pagoda has seven floors, and this should be the third floor."
"Yes, this should be the third floor." Chu Lingwei nodded, and was the first to set up a barrier around them. Everything that appeared here should be related to soul devouring, so Chu Lingwei had to be cautious. "Second Senior Brother, when you were here just now, didn't you feel anything unusual?"
"No, nothing."
Nangong Luo's Warm Jade Haotian Fan struck the wall heavily, and it was quickly reflected back.
"See, it didn't react at all." Nangong Luo looked at the Warm Jade Haotian Fan in his hand. "However, even my Haotian Fan can be blocked, so this place must not be simple."
Chu Lingwei nodded. The Warm Jade Haotian Fan was already a divine artifact-level magical artifact, and this ordinary wall had not been damaged at all, which showed its power.
"Second Senior Brother, we must be careful. Everything here is related to soul devouring, I'm worried..."
As Chu Lingwei spoke of her worries, she suddenly felt Second Senior Brother's aura. When she turned around, she saw Nangong Luo's eyes slowly turning crimson.
"Second Senior Brother..." Chu Lingwei wanted to step forward, but her body was directly repelled by a surge of spiritual energy.
"Junior Sister, hurry!"
Nangong Luo tried to control his body, but the more he tried, the more a powerful force within him controlled him. "Hurry and leave, I will hurt you."
Chu Lingwei quickly looked around. She didn't notice any changes in the surroundings.
"Second Senior Brother, is there something inside you?" Chu Lingwei thought of Cheng Tianming. What if Second Senior Brother became like that? "Second Senior Brother, quickly eat this."
Chu Lingwei took out a Soul Erosion Flower from her spatial dimension. "Second Senior Brother, quickly eat it."
This was the Soul Devouring Pagoda, so everyone in this place was related to their souls.
The Soul Erosion Flower could protect the soul from being eroded.
Nangong Luo saw the Soul Erosion Flower that his Junior Sister had tossed over. With the last bit of his strength, he grabbed the flower and ate it.
"Ah!"
The intense pain made Nangong Luo cry out.
"Second Senior Brother, bear with it for a moment." Chu Lingwei found that she could approach Nangong Luo, ran to his side, and injected spiritual energy into his body to guide him.
"No, it's still inside me." Nangong Luo could clearly feel a force within him, constantly trying to devour his body.
"Second Senior Brother, it won't erode your body for now. Let's leave here quickly." The only one who could save Second Senior Brother now should be Eldest Senior Brother. To find Eldest Senior Brother, they had to leave here.
Nangong Luo stood up. The Soul Erosion Flower could temporarily prevent his soul from being devoured, but the force inside his body could not be dealt with.
"Second Senior Brother, eat this."
Chu Lingwei took out a spirit energy condensed pearl and had Nangong Luo take it. These things could only ensure that Second Senior Brother would not be taken over by the power within his body.
Cheng Tianming had said that the power within the body needed to be forced out.
Nangong Luo did not have the ability to do so, and Chu Lingwei had even less.
To leave here quickly, they could not break through level by level.
Chu Lingwei took out the Nine Phoenix Song Fan from her spatial dimension and said to Nangong Luo, who was standing beside her, "Second Senior Brother, be careful."
Nangong Luo clutched his chest and nodded. He could not use his spiritual energy now.
The Nine Phoenix Song Fan was a divine artifact, and it was believed that a mere Soul Devouring Pagoda would be no match for it.
Chu Lingwei injected all the spiritual energy within her body into the Nine Phoenix Song Fan. The overwhelming spiritual energy turned the Nine Phoenix Song Fan into a trapped phoenix, which fiercely pounced towards the pagoda's wall.
With a bang, the Soul Devouring Pagoda let out a series of roars. Chu Lingwei, taking Nangong Luo with her, quickly escaped at the moment the pagoda was destroyed.
"I didn't expect Junior Sister to have such a divine artifact." This divine artifact of Junior Sister's was many times more powerful than my Warm Jade Haotian Fan.
"I obtained it by chance."
Chu Lingwei didn't have time to talk to Nangong Luo now, because they seemed to have entered a void.
"Junior Sister, are you sure we destroyed the Soul Devouring Pagoda?" Nangong Luo frowned. Why was this place even more terrifying than inside the pagoda? It felt like a high-level spirit beast was eyeing them covetously.
"We should have broken it."
Chu Lingwei looked at the Nine Phoenix Song Fan in her hand. Spiritual energy was still flowing on the fan handle. With her spatial power, a pagoda would certainly not be a problem.
"Then this place should be the final trial of the pagoda."
Nangong Luo looked down. The ground was the same, without substance.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect anyone to be able to walk out of my Soul Devouring Pagoda." Just then, a mad laughter echoed from afar. Before the laughter even died down, Chu Lingwei and Nangong Luo found themselves standing before a colossal ninth-tier Soul Seizing Divine Lion.
"So, the Soul Devouring Pagoda is your natal magical artifact." Nangong Luo looked at the ninth-tier Soul Seizing Divine Lion before him. The Soul Devouring Pagoda they were in earlier was likely its creation.
"You can now choose who gets to leave?"
The ninth-tier Soul Seizing Divine Lion did not answer Nangong Luo's question. Its huge body ran towards Chu Lingwei and the others, shaking the ground so much that Chu Lingwei could not stand steady.
"You are just a remnant soul."
Nangong Luo stared at the ninth-tier Soul Seizing Divine Lion running back and forth before them. Even though it appeared powerful now, it was still a remnant soul. "You must be the spirit beast of that great cultivator who broke through to the Sovereign realm."
"Hmph, I am not his spirit beast." The ninth-tier Soul Seizing Divine Lion was furious upon hearing this.
