The Ball of Great Light, which had circled three times before flying out, was now completely amethyst in color, and the terrifying snake lightning even had a dazzling white glow, along with a touch of violent bloodthirst.

The moment the one-meter diameter Ball of Great Light flew out, Sima Xian coughed up blood, and with a series of clanging explosions, his close-fitting Crimson Dragon Armor shattered inch by inch, revealing his scarred upper body.

“Boom.”

The Earth Warrior, who was retreating, was directly hit by the Ball of Great Light, which contained all of Sima Xian’s strength and belief. His pair of giant hammers shattered instantly, and the next moment, the Ball of Great Light was directly branded onto his chest.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—” Twelve roars exploded, like magic cannons firing alternately.

In these twelve explosions, the Earth Warrior’s body trembled violently. With each explosion, the cracks on his body spread further and became finer.

When the last roar sounded, the Earth Warrior’s body had completely collapsed. Even the cry of worship to his master did not sound, and a yellow light shot out, merging into the Eternal Melody at Caier’s chest.

“Sima—”

Just as the Earth Warrior collapsed, Sima Xian also collapsed in front of Caier like a toppling mountain. The crisscrossing wounds on his upper body burst with blood, and as the Berserk state ended, he had turned into a bloody mess.

Two golden lights fell on Sima Xian almost simultaneously, the Holy Light Guardians of Duan Yi and Zhang Fangfang. After each releasing an instant magic spell, they immediately began chanting more powerful healing magic.

Han Yu came to Sima Xian’s side and activated his Light’s Protection Spiritual Stove to help everyone recover their spiritual power. Lin Xin even stepped forward, held Sima Xian’s collapsing body, stuffed several pills into his mouth, and checked his injuries.

Leaning in Lin Xin’s arms, Sima Xian’s chest rose and fell violently, and blood kept gushing from his mouth, nose, and ears. However, his blood-stained face had a hint of a smile.

“I… succeeded… Deputy Head… what you’ll… face next… might be… a Wind-type expert… with a domain… you’ll… fight better. Just now… this one… with brute… force… just give it to… us… old men… Must… resurrect the head…”

Sima Xian finished these words in a fragmented manner, and his body trembled again. Fortunately, Zhang Fangfang and Duan Yi’s high-level healing magic were completed one after another and fell on him at the same time, healing his injuries.

The surface wounds were easy to heal, but the internal wounds were not so easy to heal.

Caier knelt on one knee beside Sima, clenching her lips tightly, not letting her tears fall. She was now the leader of the team, and she had to be strong.

“Sima, thank you.”

Sima Xian trembled all over, gradually falling into calmness under the healing magic, but his life aura became weaker and weaker.

Wang Yuanyuan grabbed Lin Xin’s shoulder and asked anxiously, “How is he?”

Lin Xin gritted his teeth and did not answer Wang Yuanyuan’s question. Instead, he took out a few more pills and stuffed them into Sima Xian’s mouth. At this time, Sima Xian had fallen into a coma and could not swallow actively. Lin Xin even used mouth-to-mouth contact to help him get the pills in.

With the amplification of Han Yu’s Light’s Protection Spiritual Stove, Duan Yi and Zhang Fangfang were using healing magic almost non-stop. After a full half hour, Lin Xin’s face finally relaxed a little.

“How is he?” Wang Yuanyuan asked anxiously.

Lin Xin gasped and said, “Baldy has a big life, and he finally got his life back. His Spiritual Stove backlash, Berserk backlash, and the backlash caused by using the sacrifice skill were mostly borne by that epic-level Crimson Dragon Armor. Otherwise, could an epic-level equipment be broken like that? Even so, it almost cost him his life. His internal organs had collapsed and failed before. My medicine and Zhang Ge and the others’ treatment forcibly saved his life. This guy is tough, and his injuries have stabilized, at least he won’t die.”

“Pah, pah… Damn it, big loss. How could I kiss this guy’s thick lips. What a loss.”

The tense atmosphere finally relaxed a bit in Lin Xin’s last sentence. Except for Caier, everyone else showed a smile on their faces. If it were normal, they would have laughed out loud. But now, their hearts were heavy.

This was only half of the fifth floor’s test. They had already lost Chen Ying’er and Sima Xian one after another. The following tests would only be more difficult. Could they finally reach the seventh floor of this Eternal Tower?

Although Sima Xian defeated the Earth Warrior with his own strength, after using the Joint Spiritual Boost Pill, everyone fell into weakness. Although after Lin Xin’s continuous improvement and the addition of many rare materials, the backlash of the Joint Spiritual Boost Pill was much weaker than before, it was still difficult to fight continuously. Even with the recovery of Light’s Protection, it was impossible to get them to their best state.

Although Caier was anxious, it was obviously impossible to continue forward. Continuing forward, they would still face powerful opponents with domains, and with the current state of the team, only the Joint Spiritual Boost Pill had a chance.

“Everyone rest in place, and we will continue to move forward after the weakness is eliminated.” After saying this, Caier carefully untied Long Haochen from her back and laid him flat on the ground.

Looking at his bloodless, pale face, Caier’s body couldn’t help but tremble. Raising her hand, she gently stroked his face, and tears couldn’t help but well up again.

Fool, fool, no matter what the cost, I will definitely save you.

This rest time was obviously much longer than the last time. With the efforts of Lin Xin, Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu, and Duan Yi, Sima Xian’s physical condition finally stabilized. At least there would be no danger to his life.

At this time, the effect of the Anaconda Tempering Pill was revealed. Compared with practitioners of the same level, their powerful external spiritual power allowed them to resist the side effects of the Joint Spiritual Boost Pill much more strongly than ordinary practitioners. This point could be clearly seen from Duan Yi’s contrast.

About eight hours later, Caier and others had recovered one after another, but Duan Yi’s weak state continued. In this state, he could not take the Joint Spiritual Boost Pill again. Therefore, even at his insistence, Caier decided to let him stay and take care of Sima Xian.

“Everyone prepare the Joint Spiritual Boost Pill.” Caier said in a deep voice, “Lin Xin, are there any spare Joint Spiritual Boost Pills?”

Lin Xin nodded and said, “I have one set here. Adding everyone’s, we can support two more battles.”

Caier frowned slightly and nodded slowly. In less than a day, they had passed the tests of the third and fourth floors of the Eternal Tower, and half of the fifth floor. However, this Eternal Tower had seven floors! Only on this fifth floor, they had to face powerful Saint Guards with domains, so what would the tests of the sixth and seventh floors be like?

At this time, everyone’s expression was very serious. Although they were reluctant to think about it, they all vaguely felt that with their current strength, it would be extremely difficult to finally reach the seventh floor of the Eternal Tower. But no one was willing to say this fact, and even less willing to believe it. No matter what, they would do their best to buy time and opportunity for Long Haochen’s resurrection. This Eternal Tower was their only chance!

Caier took a deep breath and said, “One level at a time. Next, we should face a Wind-type mage with a domain. The attack speed of a Wind-type mage must be extremely fast. We don’t know what his domain is like. Later, I will be the main attacker, and everyone will use the Joint Spiritual Boost to amplify me. We must defeat him in the shortest possible time, and not let his attack power fully develop.”

As she spoke, she had already put Long Haochen back on her back and tied him tightly with chains.

“Caier.” Wang Yuanyuan suddenly called her.

“Huh?” Caier looked at her with some doubts.

Wang Yuanyuan stared at her face with burning eyes, “Let me do it.”

“No.” Caier rejected her proposal almost without thinking. Sima Xian had already拼命 with his life before, and almost died in battle. As the temporary head, how could she let other partners take risks? What’s more, she was the strongest in the team.

Wang Yuanyuan grabbed Caier’s shoulders with both hands, blocking her in front, “Caier, listen to me. We are a collective, and resurrecting the head is not just your business. Ying’er and Sima have already made their best efforts. Let me be next. I have the confidence to succeed. The Space-type is inherently restrained by the Wind-type. Moreover, each of us has our own trump card. I have a certain amount of confidence.”

Caier still shook her head, “Yuanyuan, I know your good intentions, but my confidence will be greater.”

Wang Yuanyuan suddenly said excitedly, “I know your confidence is greater than mine, but are you confident that you can retreat completely while defeating the opponent? You don’t. With your current cultivation, if you want to defeat a mage with a domain, you must use Death God’s Seven Absolutes, and you have already used it once in twelve hours. Using it again will definitely cause a strong backlash to you. Don’t forget, we are not facing the final level now, and there are still the sixth and seventh levels behind. Your strength is the strongest, but you must leave this strength as much as possible for later.”
