Chapter 361: Nine Murals
"Buzz!"
This time Zhao Chen finally took that step, first his left leg stepped into the ninety-sixth step, and he felt the barrier break through.
Half of Zhao Chen's body also broke through the invisible barrier, and half of his body was on the ninety-five steps, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Chen felt the difference between heaven and hell.
The half of the body that entered the ninety-six steps seemed to be oppressed by tens of millions of catties of boulders, which could be shattered at any time, and the green tendons on the arms appeared, which looked extremely terrifying.
Due to the imbalance of his body, Zhao Chen almost fell down the steps, but fortunately, his right foot suddenly exerted force, and he barely stood up, but he also paid a heavy price for it.
Because of the loss of strength, Zhao Chen's body entering the ninety-sixth layer was under even greater pressure, and under this pressure, half of Zhao Chen's body became blurred and no longer human.
This is still the case that Zhao Chen's body has been baptized in the primeval land and cultivated the Nine Heavens Overlord Body Technique, otherwise Zhao Chen would have become a puddle of flesh and blood by now.
Zhao Chen clenched his teeth, the green tendons on his forehead were fully displayed, and his eyes were red because of the pain, but even so, Zhao Chen still didn't make any sound.
"Zhao Chen......" Xiao Shi saw Zhao Chen fall into this situation, showing a look of worry, and said with concern.
"I ...... I'm fine, I'm about to step on it, you have to come on!" Zhao Chen didn't want to make Xiao Shi very hearted, and tried to squeeze out a smile, and said slowly.
"But ......" Xiao Shi was still a little uneasy and wanted to come over to help Zhao Chen.
Although Xiao Shi is usually a little naughty, when it comes to the critical moment, he is still very powerful and never drops the chain.
"You stop me!" Zhao Chen hurriedly stopped Xiao Shi's behavior and shouted.
"Look at it!" Zhao Chen, in order not to let Xiao Shixing, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain on his body, and took the last half step with difficulty.
Zhao Chen's right foot slowly lifted up, and he endured great pain in the process of advancing, but none of this mattered, he was now focused on the steps, completely reaching the realm of selflessness, forgetting the pain on his body, forgetting everything around him......
"Boom!"
Finally, Zhao Chen completed the last half step, and the whole person entered the ninety-sixth step, and the accompanying pressure became more and more great, this was not the feeling of tens of millions of catties of boulders pressing on his body, but the feeling that the whole body did not belong to him at all, and he couldn't move at all, and even the blood in his body seemed to be coagulated.
"It's almost the same as the coercion of the Ancient Land!" Zhao Chen was shocked and muttered.
At this time, he was still three steps away from his destination, and he really couldn't imagine what it would be like when he reached the ninety-ninth floor.
At the moment when Zhao Chen stepped in, Xiao Shi also followed, and the flesh and blood on his body were also crushed, and his state was not much better than Zhao Chen.
"I ...... I'm up too. When he came up, Xiao Shi was still full of smugness.
Zhao Chen smiled with relief: "There are still the last three layers!"
Then Zhao Chen looked at the sky, feeling that night was coming, he frowned, and said with a solemn expression: "To be on the safe side, we must enter the tower before dark." ”
"Is there a game to play at night?" Hearing this, Xiao Shi not only did not have any sense of danger, but also asked excitedly.
Zhao Chen really served Xiao Shi, when did he still think about playing games, and besides, it was not a game, it was a ghost fire, a ghost fire that made countless people frightened.
"It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!" Zhao Chen didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Shi, and put his mind on the steps.
"There is a force blocking these last three layers, even much stronger than the previous ones, do you still have to pass through like before?" This question gave Zhao Chen a headache, if he used the previous method, it was estimated that when he passed through the ninety-ninth layer, even if he didn't die, he would have to lose half his life.
What's more important is that I don't know what danger I will encounter here, how dare Zhao Chen be seriously injured and fall into a coma?
For a moment, Zhao Chen fell into deep thought, "This reminds me of a way of trial, thinking that these steps are used to test the physical strength of the trialist. ”
"There must be something subtle in this, and it must not just be a test of the strength of the flesh. "Zhao Chen has absolute confidence in his physical body, and it can be said that among the earth-level martial artists, it is definitely the highest physical strength. Even some heaven-level martial artists who didn't practice body refining couldn't compare to Zhao Chen's physical strength.
Zhao Chen had a flash of inspiration and began to observe the surrounding scenes, wanting to find clues from them.
Sure enough, just as Zhao Chen expected, there were some portraits carved on the walls of the ninety-nine floors, that is, the nine-story soul tower.
"Mural?" Zhao Chen looked at the mural as if he had discovered a new continent.
There are nine murals on the wall, and the last two of them have been destroyed, "This seems to be man-made destruction, what is the reason for the destruction? Is it because you don't want future generations to discover the secret?" Zhao Chen frowned and pondered.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen's eyes are very keen, and he can clearly see the content on the mural.
The first mural shows a group of people surrounding a woman, looking unusually respectful, as if they were worshipping.
"This woman?" Zhao Chen's face changed slightly after seeing the first one, and he always felt that the woman on the mural gave him a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember it.
It's just that the mural looks very old, how can he feel familiar with the person in the painting?
In the second mural, it can be seen that it is the first painting of a woman who comes to a statue alone, kneeling in front of the statue with a respectful expression, as if praying.
Zhao Chen took a serious look at the statues on the mural, and didn't find anything unusual, just like what they usually saw.
The third mural is the same woman, this time as if she had made some mistake, being tied up by his people and preparing to burn her.
The fourth mural, the woman finally disappears, this time it seems to tell about how people cultivated in ancient times.
"It seems that these murals are talking about ancient times. Zhao Chen probably had a guess in his heart.
The next few paintings are all about cultivation, and the most important of them mentions the divine veins and the forty-nine meridians.
Just when Zhao Chen was fascinated, the front suddenly disappeared, it turned out that he had unconsciously finished reading seven murals, and the last two had been destroyed, and he couldn't see any information.
Except for the things told in the previous three murals, Zhao Chen was a little incomprehensible, and the other Zhao Chen could understand it very well, but what made him wonder was why he had a sense of familiarity with the woman on the mural?
This made Zhao Chen puzzled, but the top priority was to complete the ninety-nine steps first, "It seems that if you want to complete the steps, you have to start with the divine veins and the forty-nine meridians." ”
