Chu Liuyue looked at Tuanzi
"Tuanzi, are we stopping? This is already the sixth floor."
To go any higher, it was clearly a realm only a Tier 7 martial artist could ascend to!
Tuanzi blinked its eyes and looked up again, seemingly wondering why Chu Liuyue was asking such a question.
There was nothing here; of course, they had to keep going up!
Chu Liuyue held her breath and focused her mind. After a moment, she finally said
"Fine. If you can pass through, I will follow you!"
Only then did Tuanzi happily wag its tail, turning around to head toward the seventh floor.
Chu Liuyue looked down at the spiral staircase that seemed to have no end.
Suddenly, her gaze froze as she looked at her feet.
There, unexpectedly, was a single, dried drop of blood.
Because it was dark red and located near the edge, she hadn't noticed it when she was coming up from below.
This was the sixth floor; what kind of person could come here and leave a bloodstain?
She leaned down to take a closer look, her brow furrowing slightly.
According to her experience, this drop of blood seemed to have been left not long ago—it was very likely from within the last two days.
Who could it be?
Chu Liuyue reached out, lightly wiped the bloodstain, and held it up to her eyes to examine it closely.
A somewhat familiar aura wafted toward her.
She froze.
This... this seemed to be...
She immediately looked around the area surrounding the bloodstain. After searching carefully, she finally spotted a cyan feather in an inconspicuous corner.
With just one glance, she recognized it immediately—it was a feather from the Red Demon!
The Red Demon had been here!?
A flash of shock crossed Chu Liuyue's heart. Then, she suddenly remembered that when she had seen the Red Demon before, there was blood beneath its wings; it seemed to have been injured...
At the time, she had been so immersed in the shock of the Red Demon actually recognizing her that she hadn't paid attention to it.
Thinking back now, it was indeed strange.
As a Tier 7 magical beast, the Red Demon possessed formidable strength. For someone to be able to wound it meant the opponent was not easy to deal with.
The key was, logically speaking, such an existence shouldn't even exist in the Kingdom of Yaochen!
It seemed the Red Demon had broken into the Nine Nether Tower and had been injured here!?
Standing here, Chu Liuyue couldn't help but think of that incredibly ferocious magical beast!
Seeing that Chu Liuyue hadn't followed, Tuanzi chased back to her.
When it saw the cyan feather in Chu Liuyue's hand, a flash of mockery and disdain quickly swept through its eyes.
As expected, useless—actually getting injured here!
Chu Liuyue glanced at it
"Tuanzi, the Red Demon was injured here. Are you sure you still want to continue?"
Even the Red Demon had suffered a setback; Tuanzi and she might not necessarily be a match for the opponent.
Hearing this, Tuanzi's face immediately crumpled into a frown.
How could that Azure Sparrow be compared to it!?
Seeing how stubborn it was, Chu Liuyue couldn't help but sigh and said quite honestly
"If we run into trouble later, I won't be able to help you."
She might even become a burden.
Huffing in anger, Tuanzi stepped forward, snatched the cyan feather away, threw it aside, and hugged Chu Liuyue's arm to continue upward.
It had truly made up its mind.
Feeling helpless, Chu Liuyue could only quietly take out the Glazed Realm, prepared to deal with any sudden situation at any time.
The person and the beast continued toward the seventh floor.
Chu Liuyue could already feel as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on her body; every step she took was incredibly heavy.
If it weren't for Tuanzi, she feared she would have been unable to continue long ago.
Finally, the two arrived before the barrier of the seventh floor!
Unlike the transparent barriers from before, the one before them was a bright, brilliant silver!
The light flowed and shifted, looking like a magnificent galaxy!
But Chu Liuyue was in no mood to admire it.
She stood stiffly before the barrier, her blood seemingly freezing in her veins, with only her heart thumping wildly like a drum!
She took a deep breath, then slowly reached out her hand to probe forward.
Tuanzi sat upon the back of her hand, its round eyes wide open, looking at the shimmering silver barrier ahead with excitement and anticipation.
Chu Liuyue clearly saw her fingers slowly sinking into the silver barrier!
The silver barrier felt as solid as a physical object; Chu Liuyue could feel the powerful resistance with absolute clarity!
It felt as if she were probing into a quagmire!
Very quickly, Chu Liuyue felt as if a force was frantically dragging at her, trying to pull her inside!
Her heart jolted, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand back!
However, that force grew rapidly in response, swallowing more of her hand!
Soon, the flowing light had almost pulled her entire hand into it!
Even Tuanzi's body was halfway submerged!
At that exact moment, a mass of black Karmic Fire suddenly surged out from within the barrier!
A searing pain suddenly struck!
Chu Liuyue immediately tried to retreat!
But by now, she was trapped firmly within the silver barrier! She could not move!
In an instant, the black Karmic Fire spread around Chu Liuyue, surrounding her!
Chu Liuyue immediately threw out the Glazed Realm!
However, she quickly discovered that the Glazed Realm was of no use.
Because one of her hands was submerged in the silver barrier, the Glazed Realm could not pass through the barrier, let alone provide her with complete protection.
Left with no choice, she had to put the Glazed Realm away and instead begin thinking of other ways.
The scorching flames made her feel as if her entire being was about to burn up!
She could even smell the scent of something burning!
Yet, at that moment, Tuanzi's body had been completely swallowed by the flowing light!
Chu Liuyue found that the hand submerged in the barrier had gone completely numb, losing all sensation.
Because of this, in this instant, she also lost her perception of Tuanzi.
"Tuanzi!?"
Chu Liuyue raised her voice and called out.
But Tuanzi gave no response!
By now, the black Karmic Fire had completely spread across the entire barrier!
Standing there, Chu Liuyue felt as if she were in hell!
Just as she was filled with extreme anxiety, she suddenly heard a crisp sound!
*Crack!*
Her heart jumped, and she immediately focused her gaze!
She saw that the black Karmic Fire before her suddenly acted as if it had encountered something terrifying, rapidly retreating from the center toward the sides!
On the shimmering, flowing light barrier that had been revealed, a crack had actually appeared!
Chu Liuyue's brow tightened, and in the next moment, she saw the crack expand further!
*Crash!*
The barrier shattered!
A tiny paw suddenly poked out from within!
It was Tuanzi!
Chu Liuyue's heart eased.
Then, she saw Tuanzi grab the edge of the shattered barrier and pry it violently!
*Crack!*
A piece of the iridescent barrier was actually broken off by it, just like a piece of shattered ice!
Chu Liuyue suddenly had a premonition.
Sure enough, in the next moment, she heard the incredibly crisp sound of something being bitten!
*Crunch!*
*Crunch, crunch, crunch!*
*Gulp—*
Through the hole in the middle, Chu Liuyue clearly saw Tuanzi stuffing the last piece of the barrier into its mouth, chewing and swallowing it down!
