Crack.

The main hall, having endured the strike, suddenly revealed a crack on its surface.

As soon as the crack appeared, it spread rapidly, almost extending from the base to the roof!

And this time, the cultivators in the Turn of Opportunity Secret Pavilion also felt this strike.

The Secret Pavilion trembled violently, the ground shaking.

After the shaking subsided, the cultivators, still shaken, were astonished to find that the restrictions suppressing them had weakened significantly.

“My connection with the outside world has been largely restored.”

“Although there are still restrictions, my cultivation has risen back to the Foundation Establishment level!”

“Not only that, the artifacts I carry can also be used again.”

At this moment, the Golden Core cultivators were ecstatic!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was cornered by the fire whip, shrinking within its shell, enduring the fire whip’s lashes.

It had become even weaker.

As the palace spirit, it was closely linked to the Molten Immortal Palace. With the immortal palace suffering such a heavy blow, it couldn’t be faring well either.

However, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was overjoyed!

It discovered that it could secretly transmit messages to all the cultivators participating in the palace examination.

It quickly messaged Meng Chong, warning him of the drastic change, that Yang Chanyu was about to regain her combat strength, reaching the Foundation Establishment level, and to retreat quickly.

Meng Chong’s heart lurched, and he instinctively chose to obey.

Yang Chanyu snorted, somewhat unwilling: “He ran quite fast! Otherwise, I would have chased and killed him?”

Sun Lingtong shook his head: “Not good!”

“Something drastic must have happened outside, perhaps the beast tide has already surged into the inner circle of the immortal palace.”

“The Molten Immortal Palace is like a spent arrow, showing its decline.”

“The restrictions are gradually failing, and our advantage is actually rapidly diminishing. Let’s quickly find Ning Zhuo and rendezvous!”

Sun Lingtong was deeply worried.

His cultivation had recovered to the Foundation Establishment stage, but even with Yang Chanyu, two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators chasing Meng Chong, while they had an advantage, it wasn’t significant.

Meng Chong had deeply developed his Immortal Talent, Rushing Thunder, and could already fight above his level by relying on his talent.

“If the situation continues to worsen and Golden Core level battles can resume, then Meng Chong will be nothing to worry about.”

“Little Zhuo, ah, Little Zhuo, where are you?”

“With the restrictions weakened, can you sense me?”

On Sun Lingtong’s body, there was a Life Thread planted by Ning Zhuo.

As if hearing Sun Lingtong’s call, in a Turn of Opportunity Secret Pavilion, Ning Zhuo stopped in his tracks, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: “The restrictions have weakened?”

Ning Zhuo secretly activated the Life Thread, and suddenly, his senses amplified, detecting Sun Lingtong’s location.

“Excellent!” He immediately quickened his pace, aimed in that direction, and pushed open the door.

“Cough, cough, cough.” Zheng Danlian half-knelt on the ground, bending over, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

Three cultivators surrounded him continuously.

The surrounding mechanisms and traps had all been destroyed by the three of them, preventing Zheng Danlian from exploiting them.

Zheng Danlian had attempted to retreat, but his various methods were either seen through or neutralized.

Scholar Jun had a broad vision, Song Fu had various means, and the Purple Heaven Pavilion Golden Core True Disciple took the offensive. He displayed his innate Purple Lightning Power, and every movement carried the attack of purple lightning, causing Zheng Danlian immense suffering.

The drastic change also affected this battle group.

The cultivators all sensed the decline of the restrictions, and they had all recovered a portion of their strength, their cultivation only suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage.

“Is this a change in the mechanism of the third round of the palace examination? Or is the Molten Immortal Palace unable to hold on?”

“Perhaps the situation outside is not good.”

“Let’s finish him off quickly and decide the position of Palace Lord. Otherwise, if time drags on and the immortal palace is damaged too much, the value of the Palace Lord position will be greatly reduced.”

Scholar Jun and the other two exchanged messages.

The Purple Heaven Pavilion Golden Core True Disciple unleashed a winning blow!

The purple lightning was fierce and overbearing, bombarding forward, but was blocked by Zheng Danlian.

This surprised the three cultivators.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Zheng Danlian was still very weak, half-kneeling on the ground, but in front of him, a mechanical great snake suddenly appeared.

“Hehehe, hehehehe!” Zheng Danlian, disheveled, slowly raised his head.

His pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes, looking at the mechanical great snake with fanaticism and obsession: “Finally, I am finally with you again.”

“Night Rain Demon Soldier!” Scholar Jun and the others’ expressions suddenly changed.

Previously, during the Golden Core melee in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, it was this mechanical scythe that instantly killed a True Disciple Golden Core from the Taiqing Palace, displaying immense ferocity.

The three cultivators had not expected that Zheng Danlian, being only at the Foundation Establishment stage, could wield this mechanical scythe!

For them, with only Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, it would be difficult to activate a magical treasure. Even if they forced it, they could only unleash a tiny bit of power, which would be less effective in actual combat than using a magical artifact.

“Die, you all must die!!” Zheng Danlian shrieked, his face full of hatred and madness.

The mechanical great snake hissed, its figure suddenly disappearing from where it was.

“Be careful!” Scholar Jun quickly reminded.

But in the next moment, the mechanical great snake had appeared in front of the Purple Heaven Pavilion Golden Core True Disciple, biting his arm with one bite.

With a slight force, there was a crackling sound, and the mechanical great snake bit off the Purple Heaven Pavilion Golden Core’s arm.

The Purple Heaven Pavilion Golden Core retreated rapidly!

Blood flowed like a torrent from the severed arm’s wound!!

His face was full of horror: “Be careful, this is definitely not an ordinary Night Rain Demon Soldier!”

Zheng Danlian raised his head and laughed loudly: “Hahahaha, kill them!”

The mechanical great snake pounced towards Scholar Jun.

Scholar Jun’s face was solemn: “I’ll stop it!”

“Okay!” Song Fu directly pounced towards Zheng Danlian.

Molten Immortal Palace, Main Hall.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit continuously messaged Meng Chong, guiding him on the most correct path.

Before long, Meng Chong pushed open a door, and saw that across from the secret pavilion, the only remaining Golden Core cultivator from the Meng family also entered at the same time.

“Young Master Meng Chong! I finally found you!!” The Meng family Golden Core cultivator was overjoyed to see Meng Chong.

Meng Chong nodded at him, even more convinced that the message was correct.

“Quickly tell me, where are those two from the Void Gate?” Meng Chong asked.

The Meng family Golden Core cultivator looked bewildered: “Ah?”

Meng Chong waved his hand at him: “I’m not asking you.”

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was silent for a moment, thinking quickly.

Of course, it also wanted to weaken Ning Zhuo’s strength and eventually eliminate him. Obviously, dealing with Sun and Yang from the Void Gate in advance, if they were eliminated, it would be a great weakening for Ning Zhuo’s side.

“But, relying solely on Meng Chong and the Meng family Golden Core, facing Ning Zhuo, facing Sun and Yang, do they really have an advantage?”

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was not sure.

Although it could transmit messages in, this was already the maximum extent. The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit still could not lie, and still could not reveal information about the palace examination cultivators.

It simply continued to message Meng Chong, directing him to continue forward, planning the safest route for him.

Meng Chong, however, thought that following the message would allow him to catch up to Sun and Yang, and couldn’t help but be excited, rushing to the forefront.

“Young Master, wait for me.” The Meng family Golden Core cultivator chased closely behind Meng Chong.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit looked worried.

Because it discovered that Ning Zhuo was rapidly approaching Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu’s location.

“Terrible! Is it the Life Thread’s sensing?”

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit gritted its teeth and sent a message to Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji heard it in his ear, his expression slightly changing: “Let me choose the left door? This message is strange.”

“But never mind, I want to see what’s fishy!”

Zhu Xuanji, with his high skills and bold heart, chose to follow the message, quickened his pace, and broke through several Turn of Opportunity Secret Pavilions, encountering…

“Sun Lingtong, Yang Chanyu!” Zhu Xuanji took a deep breath and chuckled softly, “Very good, very good.”

Sun Lingtong cursed: “This luck is too bad.”

Yang Chanyu narrowed her eyes: “Lord Zhu, you are also too confident. Even if the restrictions have weakened a bit, we both have Foundation Establishment level combat power. We are two, you are one.”

As she spoke, she transmitted a message, asking Sun Lingtong: “What do you say now?”

Sun Lingtong pouted: “What can I say? Retreat first.”

“Brother Ning, next, it’s your turn to choose a door. Look, which door should we take later?” Zheng Shuanggou asked with a smile.

A battle had just ended.

Ning Jiufan and Zheng Shuanggou had jointly killed the Scarlet Flame demon beast guarding this place.

A Foundation Establishment level demon beast would have been somewhat difficult for Zheng Shuanggou and Ning Jiufan.

But as the restrictions weakened, the two cultivators suddenly recovered to the Foundation Establishment level, instantly changing the battle situation.

Ning Jiufan was currently dissecting the Scarlet Flame demon beast, carefully collecting the skin, muscles, bones, and blood, and so on. He kept a portion for himself and distributed the rest to Zheng Shuanggou.

After they met, they had joined forces to move forward.

Ning Jiufan packed the spoils of war as he said: “It doesn’t matter which door we choose. Hmm, the door directly in front of us looks quite pleasing to the eye, let’s choose that one.”

Zheng Shuanggou nodded: “Okay.”

Before he finished speaking, the door directly in front was suddenly pushed open.

Meng Chong, full of fighting spirit, rushed in, and behind him was the Meng family Golden Core cultivator, hurrying to catch up.

The two groups faced each other.

After a moment of silence, both sides immediately reacted and drew their stances.

Zheng Shuanggou and Ning Jiufan versus Meng Chong and the Meng family Golden Core!

Ning Zhuo’s speed of advancement became faster and faster.

“Something’s not right!” Under his continuous sensing, he found that Sun Lingtong’s location had not moved for a while.

Currently, with the restrictions weakened, the cultivators’ strength had recovered somewhat.

The difficulty of the Turn of Opportunity Secret Pavilion itself had significantly decreased compared to the underground.

“Boss Sun shouldn’t be trapped in place for so long. It’s highly likely that he has encountered a strong enemy!”

“I need to rendezvous with him as soon as possible.”

“Hold on, boss!”

Under the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit’s messages, two battles commenced.

And the battle that had taken place earlier was drawing to a close.

Scholar Jun was gasping for breath, covered in blood, lying on the ground, only his upper body remaining.

He stared intently at the mechanical great snake.

The mechanical great snake was swallowing.

What it was swallowing was none other than the lower half of Scholar Jun’s body!

“I didn’t expect that I would actually be defeated by a weapon!” Scholar Jun’s face was full of desolation as he shook his head.

He spoke weakly: “I surrender.”

In the next moment, a transmission circle appeared out of thin air, quickly engulfing him.

Zheng Danlian, hunched over, looked at Song Fu: “Now, only you are left.”

“Hehehe, hahaha.”

“Snake, go eat him!”

“Damn it!” Song Fu was severely injured. Seeing the mechanical great snake pounce, his expression was tense, and he pushed his palms forward, releasing a puff of mist.

The mechanical great snake crashed into the mist, pouncing at nothing.

Its entire body was covered in tough, flexible silk threads from the mist.

The mechanical great snake struggled frantically in place, breaking free from the silk threads one by one, quickly regaining its freedom.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Fu retreated in a hurry, crashing into a door and entering the next secret pavilion.

“You can’t escape! Snake, let’s chase!! Hahaha.” Zheng Danlian’s despondency vanished, his face flushed with excitement.

After being able to use his own items, he had consumed many pills, and his injuries were mostly healed.

At this point, this battle temporarily came to an end.

The relevant information was transmitted to the ears of the other cultivators—

“Zheng Danlian defeated Scholar Jun, the Purple Heaven Pavilion Golden Core True Disciple, and Song Fu. Scholar Jun and the Purple Heaven Pavilion Golden Core True Disciple are eliminated!”
