The scene unfolding before their eyes was crystal clear to both the North Nether Sect disciple and the Erging Cloud Sect disciple.
The red-clothed woman, whom they had deed an ’easy target,’ had not used a shred of Origin Force from beginning to end.
Without using any Origin Force, she rely communicated with and mobilized the ’Fire Realm,’ drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to condense a thousand ancient Horned Dragon phantoms.
This ant that once Winnie Roro’s ’Fire Realm’ was deployed, it was comparable to the power of a thousand ancient Horned Dragons!
And the ’Fire Realm’ that was comparable to the power of a thousand ancient Horned Dragons was none other than:
The ninth high-tier Fire Realm!
Swish! Swish!
Upon realizing the level of the ’Fire Realm’ Winnie Roro had comprehended, both the North Nether Sect disciple and the Erging Cloud Sect disciple’s complexions changed drastically, their faces filled with horror.
The two of them slowed down midway in their flight towards Winnie Roro, exchanging a tacit look, each seeing an inexplicable terror in the other’s eyes.
Escape!
Subsequently, in a tacit agreent once again, the two stopped not far from Winnie Roro, turned around in a hurry, and prepared to flee.
In their view,
since Winnie Roro had comprehended the ’ninth high-tier Fire Realm,’ her cultivation must not be far behind!
Ninth-tier of the Transforming Void Realm.
Even the strongest of their generation within the ’Erging Cloud Sect’ and the ’North Nether Sect’ had never comprehended such a high-level ’Transforming Void Realm.’
Therefore, in their eyes, Winnie Roro was more terrifying than the strongest of their generation in their respective Sects.
Just as they turned to flee at that mont, Winnie Roro made her move.
The red whip lashed out, like a venomous snake transford into a red lightning bolt, viciously striking at the two of them.
Whoosh!
The whip tore through the air, raising a swift howl of the wind.
The piercing howl clearly entered the ears of the Erging Cloud Sect disciple and the North Nether Sect disciple, causing both to tremble and their expressions to drastically change as they hastily moved to escape.
Alas, they were still too slow.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The whip, swift as a red venomous snake, pierced through the bodies of the North Nether Sect disciple and the Erging Cloud Sect disciple in quick succession, killing them in the blink of an eye.
Before they could even increase their speed to flee, in just a mont, they were killed by the whip in Winnie Roro’s hands.
Boom! Boom!
As the two bodies hit the ground, the red whip dancing in Winnie Roro’s hands, like a spirited red serpent, vanished into thin air.
Simultaneously, the rampaging flas that soared to the sky on her body also extinguished, and the one thousand and one ancient Horned Dragon phantoms above her in the void gradually dissipated into nothingness.
If the North Nether Sect disciple and the Erging Cloud Sect disciple on the Netherworld Path could see this scene, they would definitely regret their hasty retreat when facing Winnie Roro.
If they had known that Winnie Roro’s full effort was only comparable to the power of a little over one thousand ancient Horned Dragons, they would have never fled!
The reason they ran was that they thought Winnie Roro had also broken through to the ’Transforming Void Realm’ while comprehending the ’ninth high-tier Fire Realm.’
If they had known that Winnie Roro was rely a ’fourth-tier martial artist of the Cave Void Realm,’ they would never have been scared into fleeing by her ’ninth high-tier Fire Realm.’
Winnie Roro, ard with the power of over one thousand ancient Horned Dragons, was indeed a bit stronger than them, but they were willing to fight it out!
Only because the gap between Winnie Roro and them was not significant, they could see hope.
The reason they chose to ’escape’ was because they believed there was ’no hope.’
"It seems my ’Fire Realm’ can still be quite intimidating,"
Winnie Roro glanced at the two corpses lying on the ground, murmuring softly. Her beautiful face was neither pleased nor angry, showing no emotions.
If those two had fought her head-on, she would have had to expend effort to kill them in the end.
But after they saw her invoke and display the ’ninth high-tier Fire Realm,’ they lost all will to fight, only thinking of fleeing in disgrace, which allowed her to swiftly give chase and easily kill them.
It can be said that their quick deaths were entirely due to their cowardice.
"Huh."
Soon, Winnie Roro seed to discover sothing, exclaiming softly.
The next mont, she saw.
The blood flowing out of the two lifeless bodies on the ground and forming a small stream appeared to activate sothing, causing the surrounding area to suddenly rise with the essence of ’Inscription arrays.’
Blood sacrifice!
Thinking of the Martial Emperor’s ssage, Winnie Roro didn’t need to guess to know what had happened.
Rumble! Rumble!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
...
Then, once again, the sound of rumbling thunder reached Winnie Roro’s ears, emanating from above her.
Attracted by the noise, Winnie Roro gently raised her head and saw the ceiling above her gradually moving and opening, carving out a ’path’ for her to the fourth level of the Martial Emperor’s palace, welcoming her ascent.
"Where is the golden key?"
Winnie Roro did not let the surprising scene before her cloud her judgnt. Her thoughts quickly shifted to the ’rewards’ left by the Martial Emperor on the third level of his palace.
According to the Qingfeng Martial Emperor, the reward for the third layer is the "silver key".
As for the use of the "silver key", she had no idea.
Of course, although she did not know the use of the "silver key", she could vaguely guess its extraordinary significance.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been placed by the Qingfeng Martial Emperor in the third layer of the Qingfeng Hall as a "reward" for passing the trial.
However, now that the "gate" to the fourth layer of the Qingfeng Hall had been opened, the third layer’s reward, the "silver key", still hadn’t appeared, causing her to grow impatient.
Boom!
Just then, Winnie Roro heard a faint sound near her ear.
Following that, she saw a green brick on the ground not far away, which began to tremble violently after being illuminated by the light from the fourth layer of the Qingfeng Hall, and then slowly rose.
Whoosh!
Winnie Roro reached out and took the green brick.
An ancient-looking small box appeared before her eyes.
Click!
She picked up the small box, opened it directly, and the contents inside caught Winnie Roro’s eye, putting a bright smile on her face.
Inside the box she opened lay a crescent-shaped key, resting quietly.
"It looks exactly the sa, just a different color."
At the sa ti, Winnie Roro took out another crescent-shaped key, this one completely "copper color", forming a stark contrast with the silver key inside the box.
"The fourth layer!"
After obtaining the silver key, Winnie Roro did not linger on the third layer of the Qingfeng Hall any longer. She rose into the air and landed steadily on the fourth layer of the Qingfeng Hall.
As Winnie Roro ascended to the fourth layer of the Qingfeng Hall, many others, like her, had also passed the third layer’s test and opened the "gate" to the fourth layer.
"So this is the ’silver key’? It’s exactly the sa as that ’copper key’!"
Looking at the silver crescent-shaped key in his hand, Rey Jones’ eyes brightened.
It wasn’t just Rey Jones; many others had also received their own "silver key" and successfully reached the "fourth layer" of the Qingfeng Hall.
The location of each person was different.
But as they all moved upwards, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
In the first layer of the Qingfeng Hall, it was a one-in-four chance, with only one person out of four being able to ascend to the second layer of the Qingfeng Hall.
In the second layer of the Qingfeng Hall, it was a one-in-three chance.
In the third layer of the Qingfeng Hall, it was a one-in-three chance.
Thus, out of the group that entered the Qingfeng Hall, only one in every eight people could successfully reach the "fourth layer"!
Those who reached the fourth layer had subsequently eliminated seven others.
"What’s in the fourth layer?"
After receiving the "silver key", Wyatt Barnes left the third layer of the Qingfeng Hall, where two bodies lay, and successfully ascended to the "fourth layer".
The experience of the third layer, to this day, still seed strange to him.
Simply because the test he faced in the third layer of the Qingfeng Hall was much simpler than the one he faced in the second layer.
The strongest "puppet" he encountered in the third layer exerted all its might, but its strength was rely comparable to the strength of "a thousand ancient horned dragons"!
This was significantly weaker than the "giant wooden figures" he had encountered in the second layer of the Qingfeng Hall.
"Perhaps, the reason why the third layer’s test was simpler than the second was because afterwards, it was necessary to kill two other young warriors... to perform a ’blood sacrifice’ with their lives, opening the "gate" to this fourth layer."
The more Wyatt Barnes thought about it, the more certain he beca.
"Congratulations, young man... As long as you can pass the test of the fourth layer of the Qingfeng Hall, you will be able to obtain the "golden key" and another kind of reward!"
The voice of the Qingfeng Martial Emperor once again reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears through the "Sound Gathering Formation".
"So there really is a ’golden key’! If I can get it, it ans I’ve gathered the gold, silver, and copper keys. Could these three keys be used to unlock sothing?"
Muttering to himself, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but speculate in his mind.
Soon, the test of the fourth layer of the Qingfeng Hall began.
This layer’s test was no longer about dealing with "statues", "wooden figures", or "puppets", but rather clashing head-on with the endless "natural forces" within the corridor passage.
The natural forces included "wind", "fire", "water", "thunder", and "earth force".
Now, these forces, released by an array of attacking "Inscriptions", swept out to obstruct Wyatt Barnes’ progress, not allowing him to pass through easily.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Wyatt Barnes charged forward, with his Origin Force surging, and his four types of "realm" following him like a shadow; his hand movents never stopped from beginning to end.
His punches and palms swept out, repelling the "natural forces" that seed to have turned into ferocious floodwater beasts!
These "natural forces", at their strongest, were only extended from the "nine layers of realm fragnts" within the Inscription array, containing the strength of a thousand ancient horned dragons.
Originally, such forces wouldn’t have posed much of a challenge to Wyatt Barnes.
However, the problem was that these "natural forces" virtually filled the corridor passage Wyatt Barnes needed to traverse. Although it was only a matter of ti before he passed through, it was undoubtedly a ti-consuming process.
