Chapter 436: You Have Your Schemes, I Have My Ladder

Yu Jingnian was lucky enough not to be teleported out.He was still on the third floor, not far from the central square.He activated the Shrinking the Earth to an Inch technique, increasing his speed.Zhao Shaolong had witnessed him use the teleportation talisman and naturally reported the news to the others.Li Shaoshu frowned.Yu Jingnian had played a card first, hoping to force his way through the barrier.We must know where he is beforehand!"Where is Yu Jingnian?"Li Shaoshu wrote in the Book of All Things Replacement.His mental energy had been drained significantly, and his face paled. Fortunately, Lin Shuang had abundant resources at her disposal and immediately gave him a large portion, allowing him to use them slowly and recover gradually.Then, Yu Jingnian's coordinates flashed in Li Shaoshu's mind.He turned his head to the north, a look of disdain on his face.It didn't matter.To reach the fourth floor's main entrance, Yu Jingnian had to enter through the north gate!What a pity. How could Li An give him this opportunity?It could even change the terrain.After sealing off the five-kilometer road, he immediately ordered Fan Guanyun to block all four gates to the central square.Finally, Fan Guanyun stood outside the main gate, sealing it shut.Now.Forget Yu Jingnian.We can't even get into the central square ourselves, let's see what tricks he has!At this moment.At the front.Zhao Shaolong brandished his sword and said with a smile, "Next."There was no one in front of him.But the next second.Zhao Shaolong's smile suddenly froze.This truly is a battle of geniuses.You have your tricks, and I have my tricks.The three tribes had no space players.But they had Shura Dharma images!Ren, with himself as the center, merged with all the Shura tribe members currently present!A gigantic Dharma image appeared at the staircase.He frantically released the terrifying energy within his body, attempting to crush the walls on both sides!"Roar!"The Asura Dharma Image roared, its eyes wide open.Zhao Shaolong quickly charged forward, sword in hand.But then, above the Asura Dharma Image...The second member of the Elemental Group, Baishui Jiao Lin, raised his hand and unleashed the Ten Dharmas into One, shielding the Dharma Image!"Damn it!"Zhao Shaolong cursed inwardly, swinging his sword with all his might to block the blow!"Clang!"Zhao Shaolong took two steps back, and Lin also retreated.His expression was solemn.The Asura Dharma Image before him had fused over twenty Asura Souls. Its power far surpassed that of any other. Even Ji Qing had to retreat, not to mention the powerful assistants overhead!"Crack, crack, crack!"Under the Asura Dharma Image's unbridled power, cracks appeared in the walls on both sides!The cracks began to spread rapidly!What to do?Zhao Shaolong took a deep breath, trying to think of a solution!At that moment..."Freeze!"Frost Snow's cold voice rang out. She clapped her hands against the walls on either side.Extreme ice rose from her palms and rapidly spread forward, reinforcing the entire wall!At this moment, Zhao Shaolong completely unleashed all the strength in his body.Dao Fruit.Transcendence.King Realm.Imperial Power.Full blast!He swung the Heaven and Earth in his hands frantically.Golden sword energy cascaded like raging waves, slashing towards the Shura Dharma Image!Within the Shura Dharma Image.Ren roared, "Hold on!""Push forward a few meters!"He gritted his teeth and charged forward with all his might.Behind him, a figure over ten meters tall appeared.As he landed, his eyes were determined.A terrifying force erupted from within him.His body began to expand infinitely!He was going to unleash his true form and force his way through the wall!The divine beast roared to the heavens. A terrifying roar echoed through the long corridor!The humans were trying to force a one-on-one fight.They refused to give in and instead attempted to force their way through the impenetrable wall!Zhao Shaolong focused on harassment!Frost and snow reinforced the wall!It still didn't seem enough.No matter.Three elementalists specializing in earth in the rear received the news and immediately rushed to the front lines to reinforce the wall.The enemy pushed forward a few meters.Then they sent out a Thunder Bear, unleashing his true form to force their way through the wall!At this moment...Li Shaoshu, observing this, was filled with disdain!"Ridiculous!""There's no need to be afraid!""If they don't push forward, then we won't push back. Fan Guanyun and I will go behind the two walls at the entrance and build a few more. Let's see how they push!"Lin Shuang led the way, while Lin He hurried on, capturing the ace dad, Qin Kuang, along with Li Shaoshu and Fan Guanyun. Five people!They took Fan Guanyun directly to the back of the wall on one side of the entrance and laid a few more layers.Then, Lin He hurried on, went around to the other side, and laid more!Shura Dharma Image squeezed for a full half hour.Finally, he squeezed off one layer.Turning around, he saw another layer.Ren's face turned green!Damn it!"Retreat first!"All three tribes retreated to the second layer.Everyone looked at each other, their faces livid."If we push against the wall, they'll simply stop building and reinforce the wall we've squeezed.""Breaking the wall by force isn't an option."Ren scratched his head.There was nothing he could do!There was really no other way!He stood up and said, "Let's regroup for a bit, then fight!""We have over seventy people from our three tribes. If we can't break through the defenses of thirty people from the other tribe, we'll just crash into them!""Everyone, listen carefully. This isn't a battle for resources.""Think carefully! If we lose this battle today, how humiliating would it be!"They were all young and full of energy!With these words, the fifty-plus players erupted in fighting spirit.We must at least defeat Zhao Shaolong first!We can't let him hold them all off on his own!After the regrouping,The Shura tribe sent out Wu Lie.It would take at least a second stage to deplete Zhao Shaolong's strength.Ren had a clear plan.Wu Lie went first.Then Kui, Lin, and Zang.At most, by Zang's turn, Zhao Shaolong would be exhausted and fall.Frost and Snow followed.As usual, the second stage would go first, and then it would be his turn.Let's fight!The battle plan was finalized.The Shura Clan contestant descended the steps and faced Zhao Shaolong.Zhao Shaolong took a deep breath and then met his enemy!The fierce battle began!At the same moment!Li An had already entered the fourth floor.He stood in a boundless desert, beneath the dead earth. The wind was faint, the temperature was low, and the oxygen was scarce.He looked up, and in the distance, towering gray stone statues.Under the scorching sun, each statue was enormous, towering to the sky, each in a unique pose.At that moment...A sudden thunderclap boomed beside Li An's ears.He looked up sharply.Dark clouds suddenly gathered overhead.Then a fierce wind swept over.Li An frowned.The wind gave him a nourishing feeling.So did the rain.A spring breeze.Spring thunder.After the gate to the fourth floor opened...The sky changed. This must mean the surrounding stone statues are awakening."Alright, there's nothing I need to do now, right?" Li An said.His voice was immediately drowned out by the torrential rain.He shrugged helplessly and walked to the teleportation array.There was a formation in the central square.When he stepped onto it, the power of the Heavenly Dao Tree within him immediately manifested, activating it.He then teleported forward."The Gate of the End of Dharma isn't a gate, it's a formation..."Li An muttered to himself, frowning. "That Yu Jingnian shouldn't be able to get in anyway, right?"Suddenly, an old voice echoed in his ears.Li An turned and saw a blurry, pure white figure standing beneath the storm.It was the Heavenly Dao Tree. "The formation has been activated. Anyone I've granted power to, anyone who possesses the aura of the Heavenly Dao Tree, can enter."Li An, puzzled, asked, "So, you deliberately gave power to Yu Jingnian to trick me?""Not at all," the Heavenly Dao Tree lamented. "I've never given power to Yu Jingnian, but he carries my aura.""I see." Li An nodded."Hmm?" the Heavenly Dao Tree was curious.Li An said indifferently, "You immortals have bad intentions. You all want to harm me!""If it weren't for orders from above, I wouldn't be a farmer for a bunch of snakes like you."The Heavenly Dao Tree quickly denied it, saying, "Young Master Li, you misunderstood.""Well, I won't hide it from you.""But I'm not sure.""I never gave Yu Jingnian my power.""But I once favored someone else."Li An frowned, "Who?""Yu Xian!" The Heavenly Dao Tree turned and looked ahead. At the end of his sight, a statue lay shattered, its features completely obscured.This statue was even larger than the others.Li An murmured, "You mean, Yu Jingnian is Yu Xian?"Tian Dao Shu sighed, "I think, during his final period of madness, Yu Xian realized the tenth level of the Transcendental Art.""So, he sacrificed himself, seeking a future rebirth.""But who could have known that Yu Jingnian would encounter the Evil Immortal, his self-awareness wiped out.""At this point, we'll have to wait until they revive to understand what's really going on.""Yu Xian, Evil Immortal..." Li An nodded silently. "Then who is Lin Shuang?"Tian Dao Shu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Perhaps one of Yu Xian's... young Taoist companions?""Huh?" Li An was surprised."Yu Xian, wise and brave, with exceptional talent, a world-beater, it's not unreasonable for her to have many Taoist companions around her.""I understand, scumbag." Li An nodded seriously.Tian Dao Shu smiled awkwardly. Li An continued, "So, are there any benefits left for me here?""I've helped you so much.""There has to be some compensation, right?""No, not just me. My compatriots up there are fighting tooth and nail for you right now.""I've made it clear beforehand that if you don't offer me a good price, I won't stop you if Yu Jingnian actually comes in."
