Chapter 588 -583: The Terror of the Five Great Spiritual Bodies

The seventh floor.

‘Thank goodness this Linglong Tower helps Martial Artists recover from their injuries. Otherwise, with my wounds, it would’ve taken months to heal.’

Chu Xinghun stretched his body. The injuries he had sustained from his battle with the Desert Giant were now completely healed. This was due to the power of the Linglong Tower; after clearing each floor, the tower would replenish a Martial Artist’s stamina and heal their wounds.

‘I wonder what’s on the eighth floor. If I can pass it…’

Ambition flickered in Chu Xinghun’s eyes. He took a deep breath and entered the eighth floor, appearing at the center of a massive wheel.

The wheel was divided into five colors, each suffused with a different type of power. From within, five human figures quickly coalesced.

“The Five Great Spiritual Bodies?”

Chu Xinghun was flabbergasted, his scalp tingling with shock. His voice was filled with disbelief.

These Five Great Spiritual Bodies did not speak. The moment they appeared, they launched an attack on Chu Xinghun.

BOOM.

Five streams of power blasted toward him simultaneously. The terrifying fluctuations made Chu Xinghun’s pupils contract.

“Damn it! Even if it’s the Five Great Spiritual Bodies, I won’t admit defeat! I am Chu Xinghun! I will never be defeated!”

Chu Xinghun roared at the sky as starlight erupted from his body. The light enveloped him, making him shine like a star.

Right from the start, the Five Great Spiritual Bodies forced him to use his strongest technique—the very same move he had used to kill the Desert Giant on the seventh floor.

BOOM.

The attack from the Five Great Spiritual Bodies descended, colliding with him in a deafening crash. The impact was like a meteor strike, unleashing an earth-shattering shockwave. Rings of sound, like a tsunami, spread out in all directions.

If an expert at the Earth Martial Realm Peak had been standing nearby, the shockwave alone would have been enough to kill them.

‘What immense power. The aftershock alone would be enough to gravely injure me.’ Outside the Linglong Tower, the crowd watched this scene, their hearts trembling.

‘What’s the result?’

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the scene. When the brilliant light faded, Chu Xinghun’s figure was revealed. He was in a wretched state, his clothes tattered and blood streaming endlessly from his wounds.

HISS.

The crowd gasped collectively.

‘With Chu Xinghun’s strength, he was seriously injured in a single move. Aren’t they a little too strong?’

The crowd was practically dumbfounded.

‘Damn it. I wouldn’t be afraid of a single Spirit Body, or even four of them. I’d be confident I could win. But with all Five Great Spiritual Bodies gathered, their power is amplified far too much.’

Inside the eighth floor, Chu Xinghun was filled with bitter unwillingness.

“I withdraw.”

In the end, he chose to withdraw before the Five Great Spiritual Bodies could launch their second attack.

Ao Lie was teleported out along with him. After activating his Bloodline Evolution Technique, he too was gravely injured by a single strike from the Five Great Spiritual Bodies. He didn’t try to force it and withdrew.

‘It seems Ao Lie’s strength is about the same as Chu Xinghun’s. Both of them only managed to withstand a single blow.’

‘The White-robed Swordsman has also endured one strike. I wonder how much longer he can last?’

At this, the crowd turned to look at the crystal showing the White-robed Swordsman. After blocking the first attack, his face was pale and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Although he was injured, he was in much better shape than Chu Xinghun and Ao Lie.

BOOM.

Soon, the second attack came. The White-robed Swordsman unleashed a full-powered slash, the dazzling Sword Aura searing the eyes of all who watched.

PFFT.

This time, the White-robed Swordsman spat out three consecutive mouthfuls of blood.

‘This is no good. If I just keep defending passively, I’m bound to lose. I have to find one to break through. As long as there’s one less Five Elements Spirit Body, the pressure will be reduced by at least half!’

At this thought, a resolute glint flashed in the White-robed Swordsman’s eyes.

AWOO!

He let out a long, fierce howl. Instantly, countless tiny strands of white Sword Qi surged from his nostrils, his mouth, and every pore on his body. This Sword Qi enveloped him completely, transforming him into a ten-zhang-long Sword Aura.

This Sword Aura seemed capable of tearing everything apart. Like a white rainbow piercing the sun, it shot toward the Fire Spirit Body with unstoppable momentum.

On the seventh floor, the White-robed Swordsman’s final strike could be called his trump card, but it wasn’t a move of true desperation.

This attack, however, was a strike that put his life on the line.

‘This White-robed Swordsman is actually that strong? Thank God I didn’t start a conflict with him back then.’

Lin Jue was stunned by the sight.

When they were entering the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower, he had even launched a sneak attack on the White-robed Swordsman with a Flying Blade. At the time, he felt that with his own strength, he had no reason to fear him.

Only now did he realize how naive he had been. If the White-robed Swordsman had truly fought him to the death, he would have been the one to die, without a doubt.

Before this Sword Aura, distance became meaningless. The White-robed Swordsman appeared in front of the Fire Spirit Body in an instant. This powerful strike easily pierced its body.

The Fire Spirit Body’s form could not withstand the blow; it began to disintegrate, crumbling inch by inch.

‘I did it.’

The White-robed Swordsman let out a breath. Just as a smile began to form on his face, the next scene made him freeze completely.

Flames billowed, and the Fire Spirit Body’s form reappeared.

‘How is that possible?’

The White-robed Swordsman’s pupils contracted. Outside, the crowd was equally incredulous.

“I withdraw.”

In the end, the White-robed Swordsman chose to withdraw. That one slash had consumed almost all of his strength.

“White-robed Swordsman, what just happened? We clearly saw you kill the Fire Spirit Body. How did it reappear?” someone asked in confusion after he came out.

“I think they’re more than just the Five Great Spiritual Bodies; they are also a kind of Five Elements Array. The five elements generate and overcome one another. Killing a single Spirit Body is useless. You have to kill all Five Great Spiritual Bodies at the same time.”

‘Killing all Five Great Spiritual Bodies at once? Isn’t that a bit too difficult?’

The few of them looked at each other in dismay. An attack like the White-robed Swordsman’s had exhausted all his strength in a single slash. To deliver five such slashes would be virtually impossible.

‘Ning Jiang and that Xuanyuan Bi’an are still inside. I wonder if they can pass.’

‘Xuanyuan Bi’an’s is still the same. You can’t see anything.’

The crystal belonging to Xuanyuan Bi’an remained completely dark, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

The crowd could only focus their attention on Ning Jiang.

Inside the eighth floor.

Under the siege of the Five Great Spiritual Bodies, even someone as strong as Ning Jiang had to be cautious. After all, the combined might of the Five Great Spiritual Bodies was a formidable lineup, powerful enough to suppress a King’s Body.

Each time the Five Great Spiritual Bodies attacked, he would slash out with his sword, neutralizing part of their attack. The remaining power would then strike his Thunder Dharma Body.

Even with the sturdiness of the Thunder Dharma Body, it became battered and covered in cracks under such an assault.

‘Looks like I have no choice but to use that one sword technique.’

Ning Jiang took a deep breath. His gaze suddenly sharpened, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit condensed into a single point. His entire demeanor changed drastically, making him seem like Yama, the master of life and death.

Sword Decides Life and Death!

SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH.

Five sword cries rang out!
