With the surge of this momentum, Xing Chen suddenly let out a long howl, his voice soaring into the clouds, and a terrifying Soul Power spread outwards around him.
At this moment, Xing Chen's Soul Power was already comparable to that of a strong individual just entering the Yang Spirit Realm. The Nine Revolutions Infinite Pill, when he first consumed it, unleashed powerful medicinal effects that nourished his soul and enhanced his Soul Power.
After that, every time Xing Chen advanced to a new realm, the medicinal effects of the Nine Revolutions Infinite Pill would erupt again to boost his Soul Power, until after nine times, the effects of the Nine Revolutions Infinite Pill would be considered truly exhausted.
With the foundation laid by the Nine Revolutions Infinite Pill, Xing Chen's Soul Power could theoretically be enhanced without limit; of course, this also required him to have sufficient ability to increase his Soul Power.
"The medicinal effects of the Nine Revolutions Infinite Pill are indeed powerful. Not only has it enhanced my Soul Power, but I can also faintly sense that my cultivation is on the verge of breaking through to the Half-Step Soul Realm."
Feeling the changes in his body, Xing Chen murmured to himself. At the same time, he calculated in his mind that it had been a full fourteen since he entered this massive palace.
According to Zhao Yiming and others, once they reached the fifteenth, this Golden Palace would automatically teleport them out.
Thinking of this, Xing Chen immediately realized that the time for him to leave was not far off. If he didn't take this opportunity to search for more treasures, it would truly be a disservice to himself.
With this in mind, Xing Chen was ready to head to the next palace. However, just as he turned around, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding space began to ripple slightly. Xing Chen's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly moved beside a Golden Copper Pillar.
Next, Xing Chen took out the book detailing the Five Elements Escape Technique and quickly flipped through it for information regarding the Golden Shield Technique. Although he knew it was a bit late for last-minute preparations, Xing Chen had no choice but to treat a dead horse as if it were a live one.
"Earthly Infinity, Yin-Yang Five Elements, Heaven and Earth Borrowing Method, protect my true self, Golden Escape Technique!"
Xing Chen continuously formed hand seals while silently reciting the incantation for the Golden Escape Technique. Then he lightly stomped on the ground with his foot, and his figure began to gradually fade away, merging into the massive Golden Copper Pillar.
His last-minute efforts actually succeeded.
Just as Xing Chen's figure slipped into the Bronze Pillar, a sudden burst of blinding light erupted outside, followed by the appearance of three figures in the Yellow Sand Palace.
These three were Zhao Yiming, Zhang Mengning, and Qiu Pengchi. As for Lu Yunhe, he unfortunately perished while passing through the hurricane formed by countless flying insects.
Until the end, they had not uncovered the secret of that strange table within the black tower.
"What is this place?" After an initial discomfort, Zhao Yiming and the others finally regained their senses and began to survey their surroundings. Upon realizing that they were indeed in the Yellow Sand Palace, joy appeared on their faces.
"Yellow Sand Palace? We've finally entered the palace again." Looking at the large characters spelling out "Yellow Sand Palace" ahead, Qiu Pengchi, who had complained the most along the way, showed a look of ecstasy.
"Don't celebrate too early; let's see if there are any treasures here! We don't want to be beaten to it again." Noticing the joy on Zhao Yiming and Qiu Pengchi's faces, Zhang Mengning coldly interjected.
After all, she had not forgotten the lesson from Thunderfire Palace. If they were to be left with nothing here as well, it would be a complete tragedy for them!
After hearing Zhang Mengning's words, Zhao Yiming and Qiu Pengchi also suppressed their excitement and released their Soul Power to cautiously probe the situation within the Yellow Sand Palace.
After a while, their expressions turned grim.
Just like Thunderfire Palace, everything seemed normal. They meticulously searched but found nothing. This could only mean one thing: the treasures here had already been taken by someone else; once again, they had been beaten to it.
"Damn it! Who is that bastard always getting ahead of us and taking all the treasures!"
Qiu Pengchi angrily punched the wall beside him, cursing furiously.
"I don't know who keeps taking the treasures before us, but I do know that we are about to be teleported out of here. This time, not only did we come for nothing, but more importantly, we also lost many treasures!"
Zhao Yiming's face was also filled with anger, but he deeply suppressed this anger within himself and did not explode like Qiu Pengchi.
Beside them, Zhang Mengning's expression was gloomy, but she said nothing; she only glanced at the Golden Copper Pillar where Xing Chen was hiding.
It was this glance that caused cold sweat to instantly break out on Xing Chen's forehead, almost making him jump out of the Bronze Pillar and flee.
Fortunately, Xing Chen's composure was quite good; he managed to resist the impulse at the last moment. As it turned out, his judgment was correct—Zhang Mengning did not notice him; she merely cast a glance in this direction.
"With my current strength, facing those three would definitely lead to my death. Just their powerful Soul Power could instantly kill me," Xing Chen thought while hiding behind the Bronze Pillar, secretly observing the situation outside.
Zhao Yiming and the others had all reached the peak of the Yang Spirit Realm in terms of Soul Power, while Xing Chen's Soul Power barely matched that of a first-level Yang Spirit Realm practitioner. His cultivation level was also incomparable to theirs. With this double disparity, Xing Chen had no hope of defeating them.
"Alright, enough of that. What should we do now? Should we go to the next palace or wait here to be teleported back?" Zhang Mengning said lightly as she glanced at Zhao Yiming and the others.
Although she was also angry about someone getting to the treasures first, she was stronger than Zhao Yiming and the others and did not show her anger, unlike Zhao Yiming and Qiu Pengchi, whose faces bore traces of rage.
"Let's go to the next palace. We absolutely cannot return empty-handed; we must obtain some treasures no matter what," Zhao Yiming said with a dark expression before quickly walking ahead.
Qiu Pengchi agreed most strongly with this idea and almost instantly followed behind Zhao Yiming toward the Yellow Sand Palace passage.
Zhang Mengning hesitated slightly before catching up with the two. As they entered the passage, it was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but Zhang Mengning turned back once more to look at the Bronze Pillar where Xing Chen was hiding.
"What does she mean by this? Has she discovered me?" Xing Chen felt a cold sweat break out again under her gaze. At this moment, he couldn't be sure whether Zhang Mengning had truly noticed him; after all, if she hadn't seen him, why would she keep looking in his direction?
If she had discovered him, why hadn't she come out and only glanced at him a few times?
Countless doubts arose in Xing Chen's mind, and he didn't immediately reveal himself after Zhang Mengning and the others left. The way Zhang Mengning had looked at him earlier sent a chill down his spine, so he wasn't certain if they had really gone.
With this mindset, Xing Chen stayed hidden in the Bronze Pillar for another half an hour before slowly poking his head out. He released his Soul Power to sense the surroundings and, confirming there was no danger, he cautiously stepped out.
"Ha... Damn it, that scared me! I thought I was discovered!" After emerging, Xing Chen let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest, still feeling shaken.
"Indeed, someone is here. It seems my earlier feeling was not wrong."
At that moment, a cold voice slowly reached Xing Chen's ears. The sound made his hair stand on end as he turned around in shock to see who had spoken.
"It's you? You didn't leave?" Xing Chen looked at Zhang Mengning, who had walked out from the passage behind him, surprise etched on his face as he regarded her warily.
At the same time, a sense of dread began to settle in Xing Chen's heart. The power from the Thunderfire Divine Ring had already been used for self-preservation in Thunderfire Palace; now he had no means to deal with her.
"Leave? The two fools left. Since I've discovered you, do you think I would just walk away?" A smirk appeared on Zhang Mengning's lips, revealing a hint of mockery.
Zhang Mengning's strength was definitely not inferior to Zhao Yiming's; in fact, from Xing Chen's perspective, she seemed even stronger than Zhao Yiming. If he were to fight her, there was no way he could last more than three moves against her.
"What do you want?" Xing Chen frowned deeply, his expression turning cold as the Slaying God Sword appeared in his hand.
At this moment, this Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapon was the only thing that provided him with a sense of security.
"It’s useless, don’t waste your effort. If I wanted to deal with you, even if you possessed an Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapon, it would be of no use at all," Zhang Mengning said with interest as she glanced at the Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapon in Xing Chen's hand.
The power of the Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapon is indeed strong, but it is not enough to pose a fatal threat to her, and she is not without her own trump cards.
"Whether it can threaten you or not can only be determined after trying," Xing Chen said, observing Zhang Mengning's demeanor. Knowing that this matter could not end peacefully, he did not wait for Zhang Mengning to make a move and instead struck first with a sword.
"One Sword to Slay the God!"
As Xing Chen swung his sword, a strong aura of killing intent surged forth. A Blood-colored Sword Light suddenly shot out from the Slaying God Sword towards Zhang Mengning. At the same time, without any pause, Xing Chen unleashed the Ninefold Thunder Palm towards Zhang Mengning.
A slight smile appeared on Zhang Mengning's face as she extended her fair finger and gently pointed forward.
