Chapter 2188 - 2188 2178 Earthy Yellow Sphere

2188: Chapter 2178: Earthy Yellow Sphere 2188: Chapter 2178: Earthy Yellow Sphere Very quickly, the two reached the end of this layer, where everything was empty and desolate, something Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen were not quite accustomed to.

A dark blue formation was quietly rotating in the dark cave.

“Let’s go, straight to the next layer.”

After scanning the surroundings, Long Yan suggested moving on.

Everything on this level was black, so it was hard to see anything clearly.

Just as the two were about to step into the Teleportation Array, Long Yan caught sight of something in a corner and pulled Ouyang Zhen back.

Ouyang Zhen, dragged back by Long Yan, was confused and looked at him questioningly, to which the latter just pointed at the corner.

Following the direction Long Yan pointed in, Ouyang Zhen’s breath quickened.

On the side of the Stone Wall, a corner of a hidden chest was faintly visible.

Feng Tianlu had hidden the reward here, which was quite unique.

Had Long Yan not glanced there, he would not have seen it.

Of course, this was also Long Yan’s luck.

The chest was hidden at an angle that aligned with the Teleportation Array; only by standing right at the array could they catch a glimpse of the corner of the chest.

The two cautiously made their way to the Wall where the chest was located.

Ouyang Zhen felt a bit fearful, resembling the trepidation the chest monster on the First Layer had left in him, while Long Yan proceeded with caution.

Although the Teleportation Array on this layer was already active, he couldn’t be sure there wasn’t any hidden Demon or something of the sort.

As it turned out, both of them had been overthinking it.

The golden chest before them was different from the one that contained the Penglai Immortal Fruit; it looked much more luxurious.

The chest was carved with dragons and phoenixes, surrounded by a ring of golden trim.

On either side of the chest, there were just two buckle-style Chains.

Long Yan was extremely careful, worrying about damaging the treasures inside.

With a “squeak”, despite Long Yan’s gentle force, the chest, sealed here for years, detached from its original place upon being opened.

Dust fell from the lid of the chest, Long Yan hastily stepped back, avoiding any dust on his clothing.

A strong and sharp fluctuation emerged from the chest, and instantly, a storm of Spiritual Energy burst forth, rapidly spreading from the chest as the center.

Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen hurriedly dodged to one side, their curiosity piqued – what kind of thing could possess such Power?

The storm of True Qi gradually dissipated, simply a chain reaction caused by the object being sealed for many years then coming into contact with the air.

Both men peeked into the chest, eager to see what exactly it contained.

To their disappointment, there was only a small beige bead resting inside, presented on top of a silk handkerchief.

The fluctuation of Spiritual Power had already vanished.

Long Yan picked up the small bead and gently tapped its shell.

With the enhanced physique of Martial God Array Body, Long Yan actually felt a twinge of pain in his hand while tapping the bead.

Long Yan weighed it lightly; the bead wasn’t heavy, but its shell was incredibly hard.

Ouyang Zhen lost interest seeing it was just this unremarkable bead.

He had thought that such a strong disturbance would be caused by some Genius Earth Treasure.

But it turned out to be just this small bead.

Long Yan actually found it quite interesting.

He took out the Dragon Tooth and hacked at the little bead wildly, only to be shocked by the result; no matter how hard he used the Dragon Tooth, it couldn’t leave any mark on the bead, not even a white streak.

One should know that the Dragon Tooth is a Middle-Grade Artifact—thus revealing the terrifying extent of this little bead’s defensive strength.

Seeing Long Yan conducting experiments, Ouyang Zhen curiously moved closer as well.

He wondered what exactly this little bead was.

When he attempted to use his True Qi to probe its internal structure, he was astounded to find that his True Qi was obstructed.

Any True Qi that entered the little bead disappeared without a trace.

“This thing is quite strange.”

Rubbing the back of his head, Ouyang Zhen commented.

The bead didn’t seem like a Genius Earth Treasure, but it possessed such strong defensive power.

Long Yan even used Strange Fire, but nothing had any effect on the earthy yellow bead—not True Qi attacks, not physical attacks, and not even Strange Fire could cause any damage or destruction to this little thing.

At that moment, footsteps and cursing were heard coming from the distance.

Zhang Tiankun’s face emerged from the shadows, and the two hastily hid behind the stone wall.

“Damn it, Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen, when I catch you two, I’ll definitely let you know just how formidable I am.”

Cursing as he walked, Zhang Tiankun headed towards the Teleportation Array.

Behind him was a group of cultivators who dared not get too close.

Just now, a discniple from the Heaven and Earth Gang had made a joking remark about Zhang Tiankun and nearly got taken out by him.

In the end, it was only by shattering his jade token that the disciple narrowly escaped harm, leading everyone to keep their distance from him, fearing they would get involved.

Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen kept silent while hiding beside the stone wall.

It was entirely inappropriate to confront Zhang Tiankun now, as conserving their own True Qi was the most important thing inside the increasingly difficult Demon Suppressing Tower.

It was only after Zhang Tiankun and the group of disciples stepped onto the Teleportation Array that Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

They smiled at each other, thinking how Zhang Tiankun couldn’t have dreamed that the very Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen he resented had actually gone behind them.

In this way, they let Zhang Tiankun scout the path for them, saving them some effort when they descended later.

As for the earthy yellow bead, Ouyang Zhen had lost interest, even though he was curious about why the bead was so hard.

Since Long Yan had dealt with the demons along the way, he didn’t ask for the bead.

Long Yan was also interested in this special item, so he didn’t refuse and stored it Inside the Azure Dragon Ring.

After resting briefly, the two stepped into the next layer of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Just then, Feng Tianlu, Long Yan’s target, saw the earthy yellow bead that they had obtained and pondered thoughtfully.

The Penglai Immortal Fruit and Rat Fruit were items he had placed in the Demon Suppressing Tower through the Formation, but this earthy yellow bead was indeed something that Feng Tianlu had no memory of.

Feng Tianlu’s expression changed abruptly.

If he was not mistaken about this object, then it must be that thing.

With that thought, Feng Tianlu couldn’t stay put any longer.

He walked out of the cabin in the Bamboo Forest and quickly made his way towards the Demon Suppressing Tower.

As Long Yan and Ouyang Zhen set foot on the Fifth Step, they sensed a piercing killing intent in the air, yet the area was empty, without a single silhouette in sight.

With no other option, they continued to walk forward, braving the biting killing intent.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the two.
