Chapter 354 A Big Problem Has Occurred Inside the Star Tower

At this moment.

Holding the Moon Essence Pearl in his hand.

Lu Chuan could clearly sense that it contained a more ancient and vast primordial power than before.

This force.

It seemed to come from the depths of the real starry sky.

"This well..."

"Could it be connected to some real starry sky?"

"Or perhaps, the essence of ancient stars was once sealed within this place?"

Lu Chuan muttered to himself.

Countless guesses popped into his mind, each one shaking him to his core.

He's a man of action.

Do what you want to do.

He immediately took the Moon Essence Pearl in his hand, leaped into the dry well.

puff.

Both feet landed on the ground.

It made a muffled sound.

The bottom of the well was hard and cold.

There seemed to be nothing but darkness.

This was completely different from what he had expected.

This is just an ordinary, dry well bottom, nothing unusual about it.

Lu Chuan frowned.

Undeterred.

He frantically poured his true essence into the Moon Essence Pearl in his palm.

hum!

The Moon Essence Pearl emitted a soft light.

It illuminated the entire dark bottom of the well as brightly as day.

However, the well wall is still the same well wall, and the well bottom is still the same well bottom.

Nothing happened.

"No response?"

Lu Chuan didn't believe in superstition.

He then released his divine sense, probing every stone and every crevice at the bottom of the well, inch by inch.

The result remained the same.

This is just an ordinary dry well.

It was as if the sight of a sky full of stars was just his illusion.

That's strange.

Lu Chuan stood at the bottom of the well, lost in thought.

He couldn't understand how the Moon Essence Pearl's mutation could be explained if this place was just an ordinary dry well.

Where did the absorbed stellar power come from?

But there's no progress yet.

He had no choice but to give up.

With a powerful leap, he jumped out of the well and returned to the backyard.

Look down at the Moon Essence Pearl.

After a moment's thought, I decided to swallow it back into my stomach and let it rest.

This thing is absolutely a treasure.

And it's an incredibly precious treasure.

It's understandable, since the Heavenly Wolf Demon Lord was willing to annihilate the Silver Moon Wolf Clan to obtain it.

Then he searched the abandoned palace carefully again.

From the front hall to the back courtyard.

He searched every room and every corner.

But apart from those easily broken pieces of copper and iron, there were no other valuable discoveries.

"Forget it, we shouldn't stay here any longer."

He decided to leave.

The palace is eerie in every way.

Since we can't find anything, it's best to leave first.

But he had only walked a short distance out of the abandoned building.

There was no sound behind me, yet a strange feeling arose in my heart.

He instinctively turned around to look.

But that one glance made Lu Chuan freeze on the spot, his eyes wide open.

Behind them, the ancient, desolate, abandoned building vanished into thin air.

Yes.

Disappeared.

Silent and unnoticed, as if it had never existed.

All that remained was an empty plain, without even a single brick or tile.

"What... what's going on?"

Lu Chuan immediately transformed into a blur and shot back.

Stand where the building was just now.

They searched back and forth, scanning the ground with their divine sense again and again, but they couldn't find any trace of the building.

"This is too strange. What exactly is this Star Tower?"

A storm raged in Lu Chuan's heart, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

He feels this more and more now.

This Star Tower is terrifyingly mysterious.

Inside, there are not only traces of time, eerie palaces, but also a dry well that can absorb the power of stars.

all of these.

All of this was far beyond his comprehension.

Could this be an imperial weapon?

He stood there stunned for a long time before he slowly composed himself and calmed down.

Things I can't understand.

Don't think about it for now.

The most urgent task is to figure out the situation inside the tower and then find a way out.

He immediately picked a random direction and continued walking.

This gray, misty plain seemed to have no end, and Lu Chuan had no idea how long he had been walking.

suddenly.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Not far ahead, a corpse was lying on the ground.

That's right.

It's a corpse.

His pupils contracted.

He immediately became alert, gripped the evil halberd, and strode forward.

Take a closer look.

He was shocked again.

It was the body of a young woman, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit; she was probably a contestant in the Hundred Cities Championship.

But her death was extremely tragic; her skin was shriveled, as if all her blood and moisture had been drained, turning her into a veritable mummy.

Judging from the faint traces of life remaining on her body and the marks around her, she had been dead for no more than two days.

"How come there's a corpse here?"

His heart sank.

What shocked him even more was...

He was all too familiar with this method of death, where a person is sucked dry and turned into a dried-up corpse.

A name instantly popped into his mind.

Su Yan!

Back then, it was in the southern part of the city.

Su Yan, who cultivated the demonic art "Immortal Spirit Dao Canon," used this cruel method to harm people.

But then Su Yan disappeared.

Lu Chuan gradually forgot about it.

But how is that possible?

How did Su Yan end up in the Star Tower?

The Star Tower is a treasure of the Federation, and only the top ten teams in the national finals of the Hundred Cities Championship are qualified to enter it.

What qualifications does Su Yan have to participate in the national competition?

They even made it into the top ten?

"But if it wasn't him, then who could it be?"

Lu Chuan frowned.

There probably aren't many people who cultivate demonic arts like the "Immortal Spirit Dao Canon".

Except for Su Yan.

Who else could it be?

Sudden.

Lu Chuan then thought of another person.

Willows swaying in the wind!

With Liu Fuyao's talent and the "Fuyao Heart Sutra" that I passed down to her, Liu Fuyao should be able to achieve good results in the national competition.

In other words, Liu Fuyao is very likely inside the Star Tower right now. In an instant.

An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.

"Oh no, something's wrong inside the Star Tower!"

Lu Chuan's expression changed completely.

Now, apart from him, this unexpected intruder.

The others inside the tower should be the top ten in this national competition.

This is the female corpse.

It is very likely that it is one of them.

If the hunter is really Su Yan, then isn't Liu Fuyao in extreme danger right now?

Thinking about this.

Lu Chuan could no longer remain calm.

Anxiety gripped him, and he could no longer concern himself with exploring the secrets of the Star Tower.

boom.

His true energy erupted.

In an instant, Lu Chuan transformed into a streak of light and shot out.

……

Inside the Star Tower.

Another area.

This is a red lava field.

The molten lava flowed slowly through the massive rift, bubbling with moisture.

We haven't gotten close yet.

You can feel waves of scorching heat.

It was at this time.

With a whoosh.

A burly, muscular young man, shirtless, struggled to climb up the edge of one of the lava rifts.

The young man's name was Zhao Wuji.

He was the eighth-place finisher in the national competition of the Hundred Cities Tournament.

It was a long and difficult journey to get up here.

Zhao Wuji plopped down on the ground.

While panting heavily, he couldn't hide his ecstatic joy.
