Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul-Chapter 512 - Death Begins_1

Amid the faint visibility, one could see a majestic palace floating in the moonlight.

This scene, steeped in mystery and an ancient aura, made all the disciples involuntarily swallow hard.

“Moonlight eclipses the day, Divine Palace emerges, Treasure Pagoda opens!”

The Moon Lady murmured softly, yet the sound was very clear due to the powerful force infused within it.

Then, she pointed her hands to the sky, and a True Essence shot through the Yun Xiao, entering the mysterious palace.

At that instant, a voice came from within the palace—

“Granted!”

As this voice sounded, the moonlight surrounding the Moon Blossom Pagoda gradually changed, creating an entrance-like gap, and at the same time, the pagoda’s metal doors began to open slowly.

While everyone was focused on the Moon Blossom Pagoda,

Ling Xiao’s gaze remained fixed on the sky.

Perhaps he was the only one present who could see that within the palace, vague figures flickered, but they were too far away and obstructed by layers of energy to be seen clearly.

One thing he was certain of, however, was that these beings were extremely powerful, perhaps able to kill the Moon Lady with a mere sneeze.

Not to mention the high-ranking members of the Moon Hua Sect and these disciples who were still oblivious to the world’s secrets.

“The Moon Blossom Pagoda has opened!”

The exclaims of the disciples forcibly pulled Ling Xiao back from his thoughts.

He had a vague feeling that this world might be far more complex than he had imagined.

He must continue to grow stronger!

And then explore the mysteries of the entire world!

What was the deal with that palace, and who were those people?

He needed to find out!

With these thoughts, he clenched his fists and then tried to calm his emotions, looking towards the opened doors of the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

Nothing could be seen inside but blinding light — he guessed that only upon entering could he see everything clearly.

At this moment, the Supreme Head Teacher, Elder Jin, Golden Light Heavenly Lord, Skyeye Celestial, Venerable Pure Sky, Guanghan Celestial Venerate, and many other high-ranking members of the Moon Hua Sect were watching the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony from not too far away.

What seemed like a matter concerning the fate of the disciples was, in fact, a hidden power struggle among the higher-ups.

Whichever disciple received great opportunities, their master could gain a higher status within the Moon Hua Sect!

Standing in front of the Moon Blossom Pagoda, Ling Xiao could feel a strong force pulling him in, urging him to enter quickly.

Behind that blinding light lay a world where opportunity and danger coexisted.

He didn’t care about the squabbles among the higher-ups, and actually found them laughable and ignorant.

A bunch of ants fighting endlessly for power and profit, yet unwilling to look up and see how magnificent the outside world was.

Before entering the Moon Blossom Pagoda, Chang Yueying had some words to impart to everyone.

And just at that moment.

Among the crowd, Bai Feifei and Shen Tian Lin could no longer contain their strong anticipation and glanced back at Ling Xiao standing behind them.

Bai Feifei’s eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

Shen Tian Lin, on the other hand, displayed scorn and impatience, as if eager to prove himself to his master, eager to accomplish a feat.

Tantai Lingzi, however, was smilingly watching Ling Xiao.

This woman’s thoughts were something Ling Xiao could not fathom for the time being.

Because he did not understand why she was targeting him, nor did he have the spare time to investigate.

In any case, he just needed to be careful.

All three of them were very clear in their minds that once they entered the Moon Blossom Pagoda, even the Moon Lady would no longer be able to control them, even though it was said that no one would truly die inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

However, there were plenty of ways to kill someone, as long as they could bind the soul before Ling Xiao was transported out.

Not to mention, each of the three of them held a special Secret Scroll that could disregard the laws of the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

Although the three had different thoughts, the idea that “Ling Xiao must die” was absolutely unanimous.

“All right, I have finished what I had to say.

Now, enter the Moon Blossom Pagoda in order!”

At that moment, Chang Yueying stepped to the side and spoke.

Everyone nodded and then, in order, they walked towards the unknown white light and entered into the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

The Pagoda Climbing Ceremony of the Moon Festival had officially begun!

Ling Xiao stepped into the Moon Blossom Pagoda, and at that instant, transitioned from the blinding white light into darkness, nearly everyone’s eyes suffered from varying degrees of discomfort.

But not Ling Xiao.

Upon entering the Moon Blossom Pagoda, he immediately closed his eyes, released the “True Essence Ball,” and sensed everything around him, which was even more sensitive than using his eyes.

When he felt it was about right, he slowly opened his eyes.

What appeared before him was not the ordinary floor of a pagoda; instead, they were standing on a steel cable bridge.

The length of the bridge was unknown, for the other side was not visible.

The bridge was only about two meters wide with no wooden planks, just some steel cables linked together.

Below the steel cable bridge were raging river waters, surging violently.

The very moment he opened his eyes, Ling Xiao heard several screams.

“Fifty disciples participated in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, five have been eliminated, leaving forty-five remaining!”

It was a cold, mechanical voice, almost like that of a Mechanical Puppet.

“What?

Eliminated just like that?”

The remaining disciples were equally shocked.

They hadn’t even done anything yet, and already five people were eliminated.

The Pagoda Climbing Ceremony of the Moon Festival was indeed proving to be very difficult.

“This is the first obstacle and also the easiest one.

Once you cross the steel cable bridge, the things you encounter may become progressively harder, and each person’s experience will change differently.”

The mechanical, detached voice continued.

“The Moon Blossom Pagoda will record your performances—the longer you remain inside, the higher your score.

Of course, the fortunes you encounter, your responses to danger, and so on, are also part of the evaluation standards.

However, I must emphasize once more, survival is the key task!

Survive, and you will gain more!”

No one moved while this cold mechanical voice was speaking.

Because everyone wanted to listen carefully to the rules.

But the moment that voice ceased, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind him.
