Chapter 232: Sacrificial Tower

When the Seventh Battlefield was first opened, some strongmen of the four great Peak Clans swept across many regions, establishing the battlefield. The native peoples of Yan Ji Da Lu fled in panic, daring not to resist the four Peak Clans; they could not escape in time, only a portion managed to flee while many more were slaughtered.

The most famous thing on Yan Ji Da Lu is the sacrificial towers; they are the natives' survival bases, where many of their treasures are stored in individual towers, which they then carry away in a swift escape.

Back then some sacrificial towers were seized outright by the four Peak Clans, yet others remain hidden somewhere on Yan Ji Da Lu.

You Huang Wang's expression was solemn as he nodded.

"Fine! Let's go see together," Xiao Yu said gravely to You Huang Wang, "But we're truly good friends, so you wouldn't give such a heavy gift, would you?"

"You are right; even friends wouldn't bestow such wealth," You Huang Wang transmitted, "I invite you because I value your power and your flight‑evasion skill, San Yan, and if a Space Seal occurs, we rely on your flight to escape. After sparring with you so often, your flight ability is truly exceptional."

"Ha ha!" Xiao Yu smiled faintly.

"I'll tell you the details..." You Huang Wang recounted how he discovered the sacrificial tower.

Some time ago, You Huang Wang fought an Alien Tribe Seal King enemy; during the battle the underground collapsed and space fractured, unintentionally revealing a sacrificial tower.

The sacrificial tower is unfathomably mysterious— even a Universe Venerable cannot destroy or probe it; it serves as the fleeing natives' survival base on Yan Ji Da Lu and cannot be forcibly drawn into the World Ring.

"San Yan Wang, You Huang Wang, what good business brings you to me?" Long Zhan Wang transmitted.

"Fine," You Huang Wang said excitedly, "I excel at Instant Teleport, Tiger Thorn King you excel at Space Seal and heavy assault, San Yan excels at Space Suppression, Instant Teleport and flight; with our three combined, and each of us having auxiliary plant life, we can surely seize the treasure."

Long Zhan Wang and Xiao Yu exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

You Huang Wang and that Alien Tribe Seal King each collected some entry seal sigils for the sacrificial tower— six sigils in total, three each.

Then You Huang Wang retold the story of the sacrificial tower.

Xiao Yu's spirit merged with the seal sigil, which directly fused into Luo Feng's skin.

"This is a seal sigil," You Huang Wang flipped his hand, producing two triangular, crystal‑clear, semi‑transparent stones etched with intricate Secret Patterns, "When merged with a spiritual imprint, it acknowledges its master."

"These patterns contain the Space Law and the Water Law— such wondrous law patterns," Long Zhan Wang said after taking the sigil, observing it closely and unable to restrain his admiration.

In another distant region of Yan Ji Da Lu, Long Zhan Wang and his contingent were stationed inside a cavern within a mountainside.

"Only those possessing a seal sigil can enter the sacrificial tower,"

You Huang Wang transmitted Long Zhan Wang's coordinates to Xiao Yu, then Instant Teleported there himself.

"The treasure will be divided 2‑1‑1, how does that sound?" You Huang Wang said, looking at the two, "Our three together will seize the interior loot; I take two, you each take one."

"Naturally a great thing," You Huang Wang transmitted.

"Go!"

With three seal sigils, You Huang Wang not only invited Xiao Yu but also prepared to invite Long Zhan Wang.

According to the coordinates, Long Zhan Wang was 300 billion kilometers from Xiao Yu; Xiao Yu communicated with the spatial Origin, performing several consecutive Instant Teleports.

……

In a certain grand hall, You Huang Wang and Xiao Yu appeared one after another.

"Let's go, we'll summon Long Zhan Wang," You Huang Wang said.

"Alright, let's go," Xiao Yu replied.

Long Zhan Wang slammed the table, "With an opportunity like this, how could we not fight for it? Even venturing into extremely dangerous Universe Secret Realms, repeatedly risking life and death, we probably wouldn't obtain treasure of this caliber."

"Go, we set out,"

Whoosh!

The three Human Camp strongmen vanished from the cavern in an instant, arriving deep underground tens of trillions of kilometers away.

Deep underground.

Xiao Yu felt space shift and, in the blink of an eye, found himself in the dark underground.

Ahead, a massive structure rose from the soil and rock; obscured by earth, only a few hundred meters could be seen—a circular portal door on a huge edifice, completely shut.

"Mist, scan the sacrificial tower," Xiao Yu ordered.

"No sacrificial tower detected; only soil and rock within a 20‑kilometer radius," Mist replied.

Who would have thought the sacrificial tower was so peculiar that even micro‑scanners couldn't detect it? The World Force seeped through, yet found nothing.

"It's right before me, yet my divine‑power scan can't locate it," Long Zhan Wang boomed, amazed.

"That is the tower's wonder,"

Before reaching the tower, even a Universe Venerable cannot find it. Without a seal sigil, not even an ordinary Universe Venerable can enter.

"Huh, these corpses," Xiao Yu looked at the several bodies ahead, exuding the pressure of Immortal Divine Spirits, uncorrupted after billions of years.

"The pressure is strong; this Immortal corpse clearly has extremely concentrated divine power, likely Seal King Level," Long Zhan Wang observed.

Xiao Yu also examined carefully.

The corpses' faces were calm, showing no hint of distress; they died without apparent suffering.

It was probably when Universe Venerables used soul attacks to sweep across Yan Ji Da Lu, wiping out all life on the continent.

"We'll wait here for that Alien Tribe," You Huang Wang said.

Xiao Yu nodded.

In just a moment, three figures appeared ahead.

"You Huang Wang, you appeared quickly!" the middle figure, nearly three meters tall, cloaked in black scales, with a elongated skull and snake‑like eyes, said, "Is this the aide you summoned?"

"The one with dragon scales must be Long Zhan Wang,"

"The one in golden armor and silver wings, I've never seen before,"

"Let me introduce them first,"

You Huang Wang introduced, "I am You Huang Wang."

"I am Long Zhan Wang," Long Zhan Wang declared boldly.

"Call me San Yan Wang!" Although Xiao Yu has not formally received the Seal King title, his name already circulates across Yan Ji Da Lu.

The three opponents opposite were instantly recognized by Xiao Yu as all belonging to the Mechanical Race, with one being a Mechanical being.

"My nickname is Ice Blade," the three‑meter‑tall Qi Chang Tribe strongman sneered.

"Liuli King." A 1.6‑meter‑tall member of the Rugged Tribe.

"Zijin King." A three‑meter‑tall silver‑armored Mechanical Race person stared at Xiao Yu twice.

"We can say we know each other now," Bing Ren said with a harsh laugh, "Let's go in together."

"Go." You Huang Wang also said.

……

In the Yulan World, within a Mechanical Temple.

The Zijin King, who was introducing himself before the sacrificial tower, suddenly descended and immediately performed a respectful bow.

"Master, the three‑eyed ones have already appeared; we must enter the sacrificial tower with them immediately."

"Three‑eyed ones? They've finally appeared!" the Mechanical Race elder said, "Alright, I'll rush over right away. You keep them steady."

"Understood." The Zijin King vanished immediately.

The Mechanical Race elder had no interest in the newly appeared sacrificial tower; he knew that if he trespassed into the Seventh Battlefield, the punishment would be severe, possibly death.

Even though death could still be reversed by a top‑tier Mechanical Race, the treasures he carried would still be lost.

In the Primordial Universe, within the Mechanical Race's Domain, a massive planet floated a vast ancient hall.

A Mechanical Race elder placed most of his treasures into the World Ring, sealing them in a treasury, and vanished into thin air carrying only a Heavy Treasure weapon.
