Chapter 4874

Kai led Li Chunfeng and Shen Zhiyan out from the third floor!

Noticing that only a few cultivators followed him—and that Ning Zhi and Su Yuqi were not among them—he speculated that they had already advanced to the fourth floor.

Without hesitation, Kai glanced at the fourth floor of the ladder and climbed up resolutely!

Li Chunfeng and Shen Zhiyan followed closely behind—after all, they were now his servants.

Although the guardian of the fourth floor was not easy to deal with, Kai was determined to try.

He couldn’t afford to be stuck on the fourth floor, unable to ascend!

Just as he stepped onto the fourth floor, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Kai, you’ve reached the fourth floor too?”

Kai was startled. “Yun Li? Didn’t you leave?”

“I did, but I can come back anytime. As long as the ladder remains, I can enter the fourth floor whenever I want.”

“But something’s different this time. The fourth floor has changed again!”

“Look at the hall ahead—that’s where the guardian is. There’s nothing else around it, as if this entire floor consists of only that hall!”

“Before I left, this was still a complete world. But now, it’s as if everything else has disappeared!” Yun Li said, pointing toward the distant hall.

Kai looked over, his face full of surprise. He had no idea why things had changed.

Each floor was its own world, where cultivators had to seek out and challenge the guardians. They could also obtain resources within these worlds.

But now, they were transported directly to the guardian’s location upon arrival, with the surrounding world seemingly erased!

Without the usual resources, it appeared that entering this floor meant only one thing—battle. There was no opportunity for cultivation.

“Whatever the case, let’s go take a look!”
After finishing his sentence, Kai strode toward the hall.

“Be careful. Very few people make it past the guardian of the fourth floor!” Yun Li warned.

Kai nodded.

As they approached the hall, they noticed that it was shrouded in darkness, resembling the underworld and exuding an eerie aura.

A chilling wind howled around them, sending a bone-piercing cold through the air. Overhead, a mass of black clouds loomed above the hall, crackling with constant flashes of lightning.

From within the hall, the sounds of battle echoed. Someone was already engaged in a challenge!

Then suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream rang out.

A tall monk was hurled from the hall, his body disintegrating into dust mid-air—both his body and soul completely annihilated!

Seeing this, Kai’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected the fourth-floor guardian to be so ruthless. A challenge was one thing, but if someone failed, they should at most be injured. Why resort to such absolute destruction?

Yun Li’s face paled as he swallowed hard. “Kai, I think we should leave. This guardian seems… a little too temperamental!”

Li Chunfeng and Shen Zhiyan also looked uneasy.

They had been imprisoned here, but they bore no deep grudges against the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm. Typically, guardians would only injure challengers or hold back before delivering a final blow.

Never had they seen such brutal, merciless slaughter.

But this fourth-floor guardian showed no restraint—obliterating bodies and souls alike!

“Since we’re already here, we might as well take a look,” Kai said calmly. “We don’t have to challenge him.”

“He wouldn’t kill us just for watching… right?”

With that, he stepped inside!
