CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 541 THEY REALLY AREN’T HUMAN!

The moment it darkened before his eyes, he found himself in a long passageway.

Along the passage, numerous eternal oil lamps were lit, illuminating the path ahead.

"What a powerful Buddhistic sound!"

Upon entering, the overwhelming Buddhistic sound surged towards him like a tidal wave.

The next moment, Yang Yan’s body was squeezed out of the void by the sound.

The Buddhistic sound was immense, more than ten times stronger than outside.

The terrifying force undulated in all directions at every moment, wavering over Yang Yan, attempting to crush him.

"*If I weren’t the Emperor Body, I’d have been suppressed by the Buddhistic sound here*," Yang Yan said as he glanced back.

Behind him was a closed door, with many scraps of flesh and blood behind it.

He didn’t need to get closer to know what those things were.

The corpses of people or demon beasts!

Those who sneaked into the eighteen-layer relic tower, whether people or demon beasts, were killed by the Buddhistic sound.

After enduring the waves of the Buddhistic sound, they were smashed into meat scraps!

Don’t even mention a complete corpse; not even a piece of whole bone was left.

Rip!

A tearing sound resounded, and a tear appeared in Yang Yan’s clothes.

Quickly, his clothes kept tearing, creating countless slits.

"Useless clothes!"

Yang Yan didn’t stay and didn’t care about the torn clothes.

He stepped forward, walking inside.

The deeper he went, the deeper the feeling became!

Besides the shock of the Buddhistic sound, layers of pressure descended from the sky!

Continuously falling, pressing heavily upon him!

"*Sun Lingming, the Unicorn Pegasus, they have suffered!*" Yang Yan thought to himself.

*He completely understood now why the Unicorn Pegasus couldn’t endure and joined the Buddhist Sect!*

"Only a person of great perseverance could withstand this!"

He marched step by step, quickening his pace significantly!

Whether it was the soaring Buddhistic sound or the oppressive force,

For his Emperor Body, it was nothing, unable to stop his advancing steps!

It didn’t even slightly affect his advancing speed!

"I must rescue Sun Lingming quickly!"

*Understanding the threat that the other faced,*

as the master, it was natural to rescue him early to relieve his pain!

After passing through the dim passage, his vision darkened.

A massive demon beast, resembling a cow in shape, stood before him.

Restrained by chains, it bared its teeth and lifted its double horns, charging toward him!

"Monk, die!" the cow-like demon beast roared.

A bloody breath spewed from its open mouth.

Yang Yan remained still!

"Calm down, take a good look!

I am not a monk!

You’ve got the wrong person if you want revenge!" he said lightly.

Bam!

The demon beast rushing toward him crashed to the ground!

It wasn’t he who made the move, but the chains binding it had stopped it, pulling it down onto the ground.

"No, not a bald head!" the cow-like beast mumbled after seeing Yang Yan’s appearance.

After seeing clearly, its body suddenly relaxed, lying on the ground, breathing heavily.

Yang Yan had noticed the chains binding it from the start, hence he didn’t act.

If he had acted, this demon beast would have been dead!

Even now, even if he didn’t make a move, this beast was already not going to last!

The Buddhistic sound and the terrible pressure within the eighteen-layer relic tower.

The overlapping torment of both had long made the beast unbearable!

"Who are you? What are you here for?" the beast asked, lifting its eyes with difficulty.

"I came in to save a servant, it’s at the top!

No time to talk!

I’m going!"

Yang Yan moved his steps toward the stairs.

"The top? Is it that monkey?"

The cow-like beast knew Sun Lingming.

"Yes, it’s him!

Do you know him?

Was it because when he came in, you saw him?" Yang Yan spoke as he walked, without looking back.

"I hadn’t met him; he came before I arrived.

But since I came, every time the monks entered and left, they would say that stubborn monkey was too defiant!

Didn’t want to yield, needed to be harshly tortured to break!"

The cow-like beast’s eyes were profound.

"He’s a tough one!

Staying at the top and enduring for so long!

Any other demon beast wouldn’t have lasted so long!"

It didn’t stop, continuing.

"Moreover, if he hadn’t stayed at the eighteenth layer all this time, maybe I would have been up there, in his place.

Luckily, he never chose to join the Buddhist Sect, so I managed to survive!

Holding on at the bottom level, without pledging to the Buddhist Sect!

Becoming a dog!"

The cow-like beast stared at Yang Yan’s retreating figure.

"Is he really your servant?"

"Yes!"

"That monkey would rather endure such terrible pain than pledge to the Buddhist Sect.

Lower his head to the Buddhist Sect!

Yet he was willing to acknowledge you as his master, clearly you are remarkable!

Moreover, this eighteen-layer relic tower, except for the abbot and a few old monks,

everyone else can enter, but can’t leave.

You wish to save him, coming at the risk of your life, certainly a righteous person!" the cow-like beast observed Yang Yan’s retreating figure.

"I am called Xuan Niu, if you can save that monkey.

And then help me out as well, I will willingly accept you as my master!

If I violate it, may I die horribly!

Heavenly Dao as witness!"

It swore the Heavenly Dao Oath!

"Alright, if he is truly up there, I will rescue him.

On my way down, I will save you too!" Yang Yan’s voice grew fainter.

He reached the second level!

The second level’s suppressive force was three times stronger than the first!

And in the middle of the second level, another bound demon beast.

It was a wolf with long silver hair, its eyes glowing blue!

At this moment, it was baring its teeth, glaring intensely at him!

"I am not a monk!"

Yang Yan said, passing by, heading up the stairs.

The wolf only stared at him, not moving.

Yang Yan already noticed the wolf’s issue.

It was injured!

And it was severe!

Combining the Buddhistic sound and the suppressive force, standing was difficult now.

It naturally had no energy or strength to attack him!

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

He stepped up to the third layer, in the middle of which was another imprisoned demon beast.

Beside it stood a golden stone person!

The golden stone person held a long whip, harshly whipping the bound demon beast!

The demon beast was being beaten, its hide and flesh torn, its breath weakened.

"Help, save me!" it begged Yang Yan.

Yang Yan swept his gaze over; his purpose here was solely Sun Lingming!

*He was the most important!*

Other things would be considered after it was over.

The fourth layer, the fifth layer, the sixth layer, the seventh layer, the eighth layer, the ninth layer, the tenth layer, the eleventh layer!

Yang Yan moved upward, seeing each layer imprisoning a demon beast.

Apart from being suppressed by the Buddhistic sound and pressure, they endured various injuries!

There was whipping, beating, slicing, axe chopping, and so on!

"These monks are truly inhuman!"

Yang Yan’s gaze grew colder as he arrived at the twelfth layer, where the beast was the strongest he had seen along the way.

Its power matched that of an Early Stage King!

However, with such cultivation, the beast still found living unbearable.

"Help me!" it weakly called to Yang Yan.

Yang Yan walked past it, reaching the thirteenth layer!

Here, instead of a beast, a person was imprisoned!

A person with the Pipa Bone pierced through, hair disheveled, and a scraggly beard!

He was being burned by a golden stone person,

his state of life or death unknown!

The fourteenth layer, the fifteenth layer, the sixteenth layer, the seventeenth layer, the eighteenth layer!

Yang Yan stepped onto the top floor of the eighteen-layer relic tower, the nearest place to the relic at the tower’s top!

Likewise, this was where Sun Lingming was imprisoned!

Just as he stepped up, he saw a scene that filled him with rage!
