Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 570: Tower of Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies

In the distance, figures flew over swiftly.

The first to arrive were members of the Fire Dragon Sect. They descended from the sky, landed outside the valley, and then excitedly rushed in. Upon entering, they saw the Treasure Tower at the center, as well as the figures standing beneath it.

"Lin Xuan, it’s you! You’re here too!" Huo Yuner exclaimed in shock upon seeing him.

Situ Hang also saw Lin Xuan, but he didn’t focus on him. Instead, he looked toward the tower ahead. "This must be the legendary Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower," he said excitedly. "It’s said that there are incredible treasures inside, and they’re related to the Dragon Race."

Behind him, the disciples of the Fire Dragon Sect were abuzz. Their eyes glowed with a fiery gaze. The Dragon Race was a legendary existence, and their treasures would surely be unrivaled. If they could obtain them, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds.

Not long after, people from the Nine Serenity Pill Alliance also arrived. They were equally thrilled at the sight of the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower.

Master Qingyou also saw Lin Xuan and snorted coldly. So this kid came too. It’s useless; he definitely won’t get any treasure this time. In terms of Alchemy Technique, I lost to him, but in terms of strength, I’m not any weaker. I’m a nine-star Grandmaster, while he’s just a measly two-star Grandmaster, far inferior to me. He paid Lin Xuan no mind, considering Situ Hang his only real competitor.

Subsequently, other Alchemy Masters and Fire Martial Artists arrived, though none were as famous as the Nine Serenity Pill Alliance and the Fire Dragon Sect. They too cried out in amazement upon their arrival, and the number of people in the valley grew.

Then, another major power arrived—the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance, led by their Alliance Leader. Their appearance also drew countless gasps of surprise.

"Young Master Lin, you’re here too," Wan Er said as she arrived. She exclaimed upon seeing Lin Xuan, not expecting him to be here. But then again, Lin Xuan is also an Alchemy Master, so it’s normal for him to come treasure hunting. She said, "Young Master Lin, why don’t you join us? I can ask the Alliance Leader to take good care of you."

A middle-aged man walked over. "Young Master Lin, rest assured, if you follow us, you’re sure to find treasures." This Alliance Leader was also a powerful nine-star Grandmaster.

"Hmph! If you want treasures, first ask if our Fire Dragon Sect agrees," Situ Hang snorted coldly.

The Nine Serenity Pill Alliance chimed in, "We of the Nine Serenity Pill Alliance are not to be underestimated either. We won’t let the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance get the treasure."

They had already started fighting before even entering. One could only imagine how fierce the competition would be inside.

At that moment, another colossal presence rapidly approached. This time, a Great Grandmaster had arrived. His aura swept across the area, making everyone tremble.

Someone exclaimed, "It’s people from the Pill Tower! The Tower Master is here!"

Master Qingyou’s expression changed drastically. Situ Hang was also on high alert, and the members of the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance grew tense. This was a true Great Grandmaster.

The Tower Master was ecstatic upon seeing the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower. He had been very close by, so he arrived quickly. Since I’m currently the only Great Grandmaster present, I have an absolute advantage.

Thinking this, he rushed forward, intent on entering the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower. But he was soon stopped. A booming sound erupted, and he was thrown back.

The Tower Master frowned slightly. The seal wasn’t fully open yet; he would have to wait. So he began to wait anxiously.

Many people from the Pill Tower had arrived, including Ouyang Aotian. Upon seeing Lin Xuan, he shuddered, his eyes filled with terror, like a mouse that had just seen a cat. Lin Xuan saw him too and grinned, which almost made Ouyang Aotian faint from fright.

As they waited, more people arrived. After some time, the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower ahead suddenly emitted a booming sound. Immediately after, a dazzling light burst from the tower, illuminating everything.

"It’s about to open!" everyone exclaimed. The Tower Master was even more thrilled.

After the light faded, the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower finally opened. The Tower Master was the first to charge forward, but with a loud crash, he was blown back once more.

"How is this possible?" the Tower Master cried out in shock. He couldn’t enter. The others were equally astonished. It was clearly open, so why couldn’t anyone get in?

"Let me try." Master Qingyou charged forward and entered with ease, leaving everyone else dumbfounded. How could Master Qingyou get in?

Situ Hang spoke up, "Perhaps there’s a cultivation restriction. Great Grandmasters can’t go in. Only those below the Great Grandmaster level can enter."

With that, he rushed forward and entered smoothly. The others instantly understood. "Quick, charge in!"

Everyone scrambled to enter. The Tower Master sighed. What a pity. The people of the Pill Tower behind him grew anxious; without their Great Grandmaster, they had lost their advantage. The Tower Master said, "Go on in, but be cautious." So the members of the Pill Tower went inside as well.

"Young Master Lin, let’s go in too," Wan Er said.

Lin Xuan nodded and entered the Treasure Tower with the people from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance. Soon, everyone’s figures had vanished, leaving only the Tower Master and his assistant standing in the valley.

Inside the Treasure Tower, everyone was incredibly excited. "Hahaha, this is great! We finally got in! We have to get the treasures in here!"

But their exhilarated cheers lasted for only three seconds before screams of terror rang out. ARGH! Some people’s bodies shattered into ash, while others were severely wounded. The rest felt a scorching heat rushing toward them, as if an infinite sea of fire was about to engulf them.

"Damn it, what’s happening? Why is it so terrifying inside the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower?"

"Such dreadful flames!"

Everyone was terrified and filled with despair. Lin Xuan and his companions had also made it inside. Upon entering, they too felt a terrifying Flame Power surging toward them, threatening to turn them to ash.

The members of the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance quickly conjured their flames to defend themselves. Fortunately, they were all Alchemy Masters who possessed Spiritual Fire, and they formed Flame Armor to shield their bodies. But it still wasn’t enough. Some were knocked back, spitting up mouthfuls of blood. Others trembled, on the verge of fainting. Wan Er’s face was also pale. Only the Alliance Leader and a few others could hold their ground.

Lin Xuan also felt a sense of threat, but it was just a threat. He could withstand it, though the situation was more terrifying than he had imagined.

Just then, the flames swirled, forming a line of words in the air: "The Eight Desolations and Six Directions Tower has eight levels. Treasures left by the Dragon Race are on the eighth level, and a Fire Dragon Pearl is on the sixth level. Ascend to the corresponding level to obtain the corresponding item."

The words floated in the void. Everyone looked up, thrilled, but their excitement quickly turned into bitter smiles. The first level was already this terrifying; how much more frightening would the upper levels be? They wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all. If they stayed too long, they wouldn’t even be able to survive the first level.

"I don’t think I can hold on much longer," Huo Yuner said, her face filled with despair. She was a seven-star Grandmaster, and even she couldn’t withstand it, which just showed how terrifying this place was.

Situ Hang assessed the situation for a moment and said solemnly, "All Grandmasters below eight-star, retreat!"

On the other side, the Nine Serenity Pill Alliance, the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance, and the Pill Tower gave the same command. For anyone below the eight-star level to remain here was to seek death. Only those at eight-star and above could continue forward.

With sighs of resignation, many turned to leave. If they stayed any longer, they would surely die. Huo Yuner left reluctantly. Ouyang Aotian also retreated with extreme unwillingness. A large number of Alchemy Masters from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance withdrew, including Wan Er, who was only a seven-star Grandmaster.

"Young Master Lin, you’re not leaving?" Wan Er asked in surprise when she saw Lin Xuan standing there, unmoved.

Lin Xuan shook his head. "I’m not leaving."

Wan Er was dumbfounded. Lin Xuan is only a two-star Grandmaster. Staying here is just courting death, isn’t it?
