Chapter 928: Void-Breaking Tower, Seventh Floor! The Ice-and-Snow World!
That grand voice rang out not only within the Void-Breaking Tower, but the same voice echoed in the Spark World outside the tower as well.
At the same time, an identical ranking list appeared out of thin air above the Void-Breaking Tower.
In an instant, the people living near the Void-Breaking Tower all turned their gazes toward it.
"Noah Civilization? What civilization era is that?"
"As expected! The Void-Breaking Tower comes from an unknown civilization!"
"What a regret! I should have gone in this time."
"I did want to go, but unfortunately I was held up by other matters. By the time the Void-Breaking Tower opens again later, I probably won't even get a sip of the soup."
"......"
Countless voices of discussion rose up.
Some envious, some regretful — when an unknown civilization opens, the first wave of people to enter would absolutely reap astonishing harvests!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three figures appeared one after another in the sky before the Void-Breaking Tower.
They were none other than the three supreme powerhouses of the Spark World — Aemess, Lei Ding, and Es.
"Noah Civilization?"
Lei Ding first swept his gaze over the ranking list in the sky, then looked toward Aemess and asked in a low voice, "Aemess, did your Eye of Fate see any related omens before this?"
Facing Aemess, his tone was slightly more restrained, yet it still carried a faint domineering air.
As a supreme powerhouse who had lived for over two thousand years, facing Aemess, who had risen only a few decades ago, he indeed had the confidence to be overbearing.
"No. Every future related to the Void-Breaking Tower is impossible to see."
Aemess shook her head.
"Is that so? What a pity then."
Lei Ding narrowed his eyes and replied noncommittally.
Eye of Fate!
Special-system SSS-grade ability!
With these eyes, Aemess could even locate the coordinates of Blue Star within spatial turbulence.
Having led the entire Spark World back home, he did not believe Aemess would have failed to see some omens.
But everyone was a supreme powerhouse — if Aemess did not wish to speak, he had no way to force her.
As a supreme powerhouse, Aemess naturally sensed Lei Ding's suspicion toward her.
In truth, her Eye of Fate had indeed seen quite a few futures related to the Void-Breaking Tower.
But those scenes were merely one of the possible trajectories of the future, not necessarily accurate.
Moreover, this time there was also Xu Jingming, whose future she could not see clearly.
With multiple factors overlapping, even she herself did not know exactly what would happen inside the Void-Breaking Tower.
"Let's wait a while longer.
Wait until the trial ends and they come out of the Void-Breaking Tower.
Then we'll be able to learn the relevant information about this civilization."
Es said thoughtfully.
"Two or three months, or even half a year or a year — who knows how long this trial will last.
But it's fine, we have plenty of time."
Lei Ding grinned.
The three supreme-powerhouse factions.
His Lei Ding family had sent in the most powerhouses, even including a peak ninth-tier.
If any faction was most likely to obtain the opportunity of this unknown civilization, it would undoubtedly be his Lei Ding family.
Void-Breaking Tower.
When Xu Jingming entered the teleportation passage leading to the seventh floor.
It was as if piercing through a thin membrane — first a tightness, as the surrounding space kept pressing in.
Then it suddenly loosened, and the pitch-black space before his eyes restored its light.
What appeared in his line of sight was an ice-and-snow world completely different from the sixth floor!
Hard ice blocks were everywhere, and snowflakes drifted down continuously from the sky.
In the distance there were even towering blue glaciers, estimated to be at least three to four hundred meters tall.
The breath Xu Jingming and Su Qingli exhaled would each billow out into wisps of icy mist.
There were also many ability users around them who had just been teleported in like them, all curiously looking around.
"Air temperature minus 72 degrees, gravity is three times that of Blue Star.
The elements in the air are mostly ice and water — ability users of the ice and water systems will receive a massive boost here."
Eva's analysis results quickly appeared in the minds of Xu Jingming and Su Qingli.
"Three times gravity, no wonder I felt my body grow heavier the moment I came in."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
In such a harsh environment, ordinary people would be crushed to death by the triple gravity the moment they entered.
Even second-tier ability users, staying here for long, would likewise freeze to death.
"Jingming, let's go first, this isn't a place to linger."
Su Qingli, who had secretly scanned the surroundings, reminded softly.
"Alright."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Using Thunder Dragon Wings or Jade Pure Divine Thunder would immediately expose their identities.
Therefore, they did not use their abilities, merely leaving at the speed of a seventh-rank Master-level ability user.
Other ability users did the same as Xu Jingming and his group: choosing a direction, they swiftly departed.
Among them was Li Hao and his group from the Tianming Sect.
They only stopped after traveling more than twenty kilometers beyond the teleportation passage.
Unlike when they first entered the Po Xu Tower, Li Hao and Tian Yao now had two Black men and two White men beside them.
They were ninth-rank experts manipulated and brainwashed by the Kontin Beast, loyal to the Tianming Sect.
"Xu Jingming and Su Qingli must have hidden their identities—I didn't notice them on the sixth level."
"Now we split into two groups: Nawa, Kent, Nila, you three form one team."
"Jiarka, you'll accompany me and Tian Yao."
"Your primary mission is to find the passage to the next level; your secondary mission is to search for Void Stones."
Beneath the ice sheet radiating bone-chilling cold, Li Hao assigned the tasks:
"Lastly, if you spot Xu Jingming and his group, strike immediately."
"But preferably, leave them alive and bring them both to me."
As he spoke these last words, a cruel smile curled at Li Hao's lips.
Nawa, S-class ninth-rank lower tier!
Kent and Nila are both A-class ninth-rank mid-tier.
This lineup is more than enough to crush Xu Jingming and Su Qingli.
And since Ling Shuang isn't here, they can't teleport away.
As for the issue of hidden identities, it's simple enough.
If Xu Jingming or Su Qingli uses their ability, their signature lightning power will be instantly recognizable.
"Yes!" Nawa and the other two nodded simultaneously.
"Good. Then begin your operation—see who can catch Xu Jingming and his group first."
"In twenty-four hours, regroup here and consolidate information."
With a command, Li Hao's six men split into two groups and swiftly departed in different directions.
Not just the Tianming Sect—many factions chose to split up.
After all, the seventh level of the Po Xu Tower is an unexplored, unknown world.
No one knows where the passage to the next level lies.
At this moment, it's best to explore separately and then pool information.
But for Xu Jingming, it wasn't like that.
Before entering the Po Xu Tower, he had anticipated the need for exploration maps.
Therefore, he brought out all the Flowing Gold Guardians from Floating Island No. 3.
He also brought over a thousand drones.
Whirrrrrr~~~
Across the ice plain, over a thousand drones hovered in the sky, their propellers spinning wildly, emitting noise.
Triple gravity imposed little takeoff pressure on these specialized drones.
On the ground, twenty Flowing Gold Guardians, over three meters tall, stood in respectful waiting.
The holographic projection of the twin-tailed little girl Eva floated in midair, her beautiful eyes continuously streaming data.
After more than ten seconds, Eva exhaled softly and turned to Xu Jingming:
"S-class—I've assigned twenty sub-entities to the Flowing Gold Guardians."
"Each Flowing Gold Guardian carries fifty drones; if they move quickly, they should survey the entire seventh level within a day."
These twenty Flowing Gold Guardians came from Floating Island No. 3, and their base permissions were controlled by the Xinhuo Divine Temple.
But those base permissions could be rewritten before the intelligent lifeform Eva.
"Excellent." Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. "With this, we should find the seventh level's endpoint soon."
Most importantly, with these Flowing Gold Guardians, we can also locate beast clusters.
"Go."
At Eva's command, the twenty liquid-metal Flowing Gold Guardians immediately scattered in different directions.
Behind each Flowing Gold Guardian, over fifty drones followed constantly in the sky.
