The light gradually extended from a straight horizontal line to the top and bottom, slowly unfolding the picture scroll of the fourth level.
In front of Su Chen's eyes was a bizarre world. There was no distinction between heaven and earth here. The gravity came from the floating islands scattered everywhere. At a glance, there was no end in sight. In all the space, there were at least tens of thousands of floating islands of various sizes.
And on every floating island, there was a dangerous aura.
"The fourth level of the Justice Pagoda is made up of 77,000 detention islands. An ancient primordial spirit is sealed on each island. You need to collect the energy crystals of at least 100 primordial spirits to open the door to the fifth level."
"Before you, there are already more than 500 challengers who have reached the fourth level."
Hearing the information provided by Vivian, Su Chen was a little surprised.
There were actually more than 500 people who had reached the fourth level. It seemed that these guys were quite efficient.
"Wait, aren't there eighty-one Immortal Towers? Aren't their challengers scattered?"
Su Chen didn't know the situation in other places, but in the Immortal Tower he was in, there shouldn't be many who had reached the second level.
"There are indeed eighty-one replicas of the Justice Pagoda in the Hongmeng Universe. But when you reach the fourth level, the space will shrink and all challengers will be concentrated in the same space."
That was to say, all challengers in the eighty-one Immortal Towers would have a chance to meet.
Su Chen remained vigilant. He knew that he would not only face those primordial spirits, but also threats from other challengers, including those old monsters in the Undying Realm.
But this was better. It would save Su Chen time and effort to find their whereabouts.
"I will be on standby on the fifth level. I hope to see you again, challenger."
Vivian bowed and disappeared after saying that.
Su Chen didn't talk nonsense and flew directly to the nearest detention island.
"Dian Dian, can Vivian's words be trusted?" Su Chen asked in his heart.
"I don't know. The system's information about the Justice Queen is extremely limited. And part of it is in an encrypted state. I can't read the relevant information for the time being. But Vivian's strength is indeed very strong. She seemed to have inadvertently scanned the system just now."
Su Chen frowned. "Have you been discovered?"
"No, this system is not to be trifled with. If I was discovered so easily, then I have no right to continue assisting the host."
"Haha, that's true."
Su Chen heaved a sigh of relief and landed on the first Detention Island.
The environment of Detention Island was gloomy, with many withered trees growing. The ground was covered with decaying leaves, and a winding path could be vaguely seen leading into the depths of the forest.
Su Chen carefully moved forward and soon arrived at the center of Detention Island. There was actually a building that looked like an abandoned castle. Crunching sounds came from within the castle. That sound … sounded like a hyena gnawing on the bones of its prey.
"Stop acting all mysterious."
Su Chen didn't care about him. He raised his hand, and a Purple Heavens Black True Thunder directly blasted into the ancient castle.
Immediately, a dazzling purple light erupted from the ancient castle, accompanied by a series of shrill screams.
Just as Su Chen thought he was done, a black light shot out of the castle, baring its sharp fangs and biting viciously at Su Chen's neck.
It really was a hyena.
However, this hyena didn't have any fur on its body. It was covered in blood-red muscle fibers and bones, as if someone had skinned it.
To be able to withstand the attack of the Purple Heavens Black True Thunder, this was no ordinary hyena. It had to be the nascent spirit that Vivian had mentioned.
According to the cultivation world, a nascent spirit was a cultivator's soul. However, the nascent spirit here referred to a creature that came from the land of nascent demons. Judging from the giant octopus on the third floor, nascent demons were not only powerful, but also possessed strange abilities. One couldn't let their guard down.
Just as the hyena pounced at Su Chen, Su Chen immediately threw out the Immortal Binding Lock. After binding the hyena, he once again activated the Purple Heavens Black True Thunder. Using the Immortal Binding Lock as a medium, he poured the power of the True Thunder into the hyena's body.
The hyena howled as it was electrocuted. Black smoke rose from its body, and in an instant, it was turned into a pile of charcoal.
With a bang, the hyena's body crumbled, and a pale red crystal fell out.
Su Chen picked it up and took a look. He sensed that the crystal contained a very strong energy fluctuation. This energy was very violent. Once released, it would cause a destructive force that could destroy the heavens and earth.
This should be the energy crystal that Vivian had mentioned.
He still needed ninety-nine more energy crystals to pass the fourth floor.
"It doesn't seem that difficult. At least it's much easier than the third floor."
Although that was the case, Su Chen didn't dare to be careless against his love rival. He knew too well about nascent spirits. Who knew if he would suddenly screw up? It was better to be careful.
With a flash, Su Chen went to the next Detention Island.
This Detention Island was much bigger, but the surface was bare. There were some strange patterns engraved on it, as if forming a layer of enchantment.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, but still rushed over.
The moment Su Chen's feet touched the ground, the entire Detention Island trembled violently. It was as if the entire Detention Island had come to life. There were creaking sounds, as if some creature was laughing wildly.
Suddenly, the ground under Su Chen's feet cracked open, turning into a huge bloody mouth. It inhaled fiercely, wanting to swallow Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't resist. He flashed and directly slashed out a sword Qi.
Slash.
The Sword Qi, which could even cut the stars, directly split the entire Detention Island into two.
Another energy crystal was in his hand.
But before Su Chen could take it, it was snatched away by a flying shadow. It grabbed the energy crystal and flew into the void.
Su Chen frowned.
"How dare you snatch my things?"
In the blink of an eye, the Immortal-binding Lock had already flown out.
The Immortal-binding Lock was entangled by karma. There was no way to dodge it. Even though the flying shadow had already escaped into the void, it was still tightly bound by the Immortal-binding Lock in less than two seconds. It was pulled to Su Chen's front.
It was a young man in black who looked a little young. His cultivation was not low. He was actually in the Great Emperor Realm, close to the Earth Immortal Realm.
There was no such person in the current Immortal Realm in the Primordial Universe. However, this young man was indeed young. Not only his appearance, but even his soul was very young. He didn't look like the reincarnation of an ancient almighty expert.
Interesting.
Su Chen didn't rush to attack. Instead, he asked, "What's your name?
Where are you from? "
The young man struggled a few times, but he couldn't break free from the Immortal-binding Lock. He gave up and answered honestly, "My name is Qiu Hua. I didn't come from the outside. I was born in the Justice Pagoda."
Oh?
