Chapter 700: Chapter 701: Daring to Intrude into My Territory!


    “Between the two of us, who’s the boss?”<div>


    Li Xiaobai asked with a smile.


    “Is that even a question? Of course, it’s you. I’m in awe of the boss’s mighty strength. From the first nce, I felt a sense of kinship. From now on, you’re my dear big brother!”


    ‘Poor’ said through gritted teeth, forcibly squeezing out a trace of a smile that looked uglier than crying.


    “Who owns the thirdyer?”


    “It’s yours, boss!”


    “Whose treasures are on the thirdyer?”<div>


    “Yours, boss!”


    “And who do you belong to?”


    “Of course, I’m yours too! Everything is yours, boss!”


    A few minutester.


    ‘Poor’ copsed on the ground, his eyes empty, his face expressionless, and his body drained of energy, as if he had aged ten years all at once.


    The entire thirdyer suddenly dimmed, the radiance and treasures from dozens of dwellings swept clean, everyst Luminous Pearl taken by Li Xiaobai. His living environment had instantly be just like the secondyer.


    Decades of savings and hard work, all dressed up for someone else overnight. At this moment, ‘Poor’ felt a profound sense of despair.


    His wealth was the driving force behind his diligent cultivation and even his survival. Now that everything was taken, it made him feel like his life had lost its luster, and the path ahead was shrouded in confusion.


    “I didn’t expect you to have so many treasures. Not bad at all. Don’t ck offter; keep looking for treasures. I’ll take a turn on the fourthyer.”


    Li Xiaobai looked at ‘Poor’ sitting dazedly on the floor and sighed inwardly. The blow was too big; the kid had gone stupid, and it seemed that he wouldn’t be able to extract any information about the fourthyer for a while.


    After giving him a faint instruction, he walked through the luminous membrane of the thirdyer, stepping onto the stairs to the fourthyer.


    ‘Poor’ watched, dumbfounded. Such ease in crossing the barrier—as if it were non-existent in front of him. Was this guy even human?<div>


    But his eyes soon darkened even more.


    The fourthyer was ‘Ferocious”s territory, and that creature was much fiercer than him. This pretty boy would definitely be chewed up so thoroughly that not even the scraps would be left!


    Having lived on the thirdyer for years, he understood well the natives of the fourth. That one was a big eater—the prison warden Yang Tian often sent it food. He had seen that thing devouring Demonic Beast carcasses on the fourthyer through the barrier more than once, an utterly brutal sight!


    “Heh, even if you can beat me, so what? The higher you go in the Celestial Prison, the more dangerous it bes. You’re so arrogantly delusional, you’re bound to meet a dead end eventually!”


    “Wait, all of my treasures are on that kid. If he dies on a higher floor, won’t I lose the chance to reim them for the rest of my life?”


    “Damn it, this is such a screwed-up situation!”


    With that thought, ‘Ferocious”s face grew even more troubled. Whether the other was dead or alive, it seemed he had no chance to get back his treasures!


    …


    The fourthyer.


    “`


    [Attribute Points +30000…]


    [Attribute Points +30000…]<div>


    Li Xiaobai stepped out of the barrier, and the System Attribute Points panel increased again, reaching as many as thirty thousand.


    At that time, the overflowing defensive power also reached more than two million. In fact, there were two other options to upgrade in the System Attribute Points: attack and speed, but he didn’t do so.


    Firstly, to raise these two attributes to the same level as the defensive power would require a simrly enormous amount of Attribute Points, which would inadvertently slow down the pace of his power enhancement. And merely adding a small amount to these attributes would be of little effect against real powerhouses, making it an unrewarding effort.


    That is to say, if he chose to enhance a secondary attribute and wanted it to be effective, he had to raise it to the realm of a Half-step Human Immortal as well; otherwise, it would be of no use against Great Crossing Realm Cultivators.


    And he had spent months just to raise his defensive power to this level. Now that the Immortal Spirit Qi was about to be activated, and he was about to step into the Upper Realm topete with stronger entities, naturally, he could no longer afford to waste more time.


    On the other hand, attack methods and speed were already provided to him in another form: skills and the marketce.


    Various shy skills not only had huge power but the effects were surprisingly good. Imagine, with a simple skill, he could y an enemy; why should he bother upgrading his attack then?


    As for speed, there was even less to worry about. The mounts in the marketce, whether for flying or burrowing, were plentiful, and he could even redeem Gundam Sentinel models, which were far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Therefore, he nned to save up the Attribute Points he had obtained for now, as the next phase of defensive power was sure to require an astronomical amount. When the time came, these early saved Attribute Points could at least fill some gaps.


    Li Xiaobai nced slightly at the Attribute Points panel before him, a hint of a smile outlined on his lips. The Celestial Prison was indeed an excellent ce for leveling up, and he still had to stay here for about a month less.


    He was confident that he could save up a substantial amount of Attribute Points.


    Having left the steps, he officially entered the fourth level. He was greeted with a pungent smell of blood, the thick stench of rotting corpses mixed with some indescribable odd scents, which made Li Xiaobai frown.<div>


    The lighting in this level wasn’t too dim, and that made things even clearer for him. The ground was littered with visceral organs everywhere, the walls smeared with bits of flesh and streaks of blood-stained w marks.


    If the third level was arge treasure trove, then this one must be arge dissection scene.


    It was just unclear whether the ughtered creatures were Demonic Beasts or people.


    Judging from the bloodstains that hadn’tpletely dried up, the dissection must have taken ce not long ago.


    Li Xiaobai regretted not having asked ‘Poor’ for more details beforeing up here, now that he had found thisyer to be so eerily styled.


    But what’s done is done; he wasn’t afraid, just feeling a bit ufortable with such an environment.


    Walking slowly inside, his feet stepped on the crushed flesh, through the blood that had a somewhat sticky feel to it.


    As he walked, he plucked the Luminous Pearls hanging on the walls and put them into his Space Ring. Wherever he passed, the light dimmed considerably.


    “Smack, smack!”


    Suddenly, Li Xiaobai heard a rustling sound, likely that of a creature feeding.


    Drawing closer, he saw a lump of flesh. Judging from the skull, it was a seal’s corpse. Something spherical was writhing and eating inside its abdomen; the sounds he had heard were from its smacking.


    Seemingly aware of Li Xiaobai’s approach, the spherical thing stopped moving, and the smacking noise disappeared instantly.<div>


    Then, to Li Xiaobai’s surprise, a small girl with a delicate figure crawled out of the seal’s cavity. She seemed to be about seven or eight years old, her face full of innocence. Had she been born in an ordinary family, she would have been a sweet child, but the fresh blood on her lips hinted that her identity was not so simple.


    Blood dripped continuously from her twin topknots, and her eyes filled with malice looked at Li Xiaobai. In a childish voice, she scolded, “Who are you, daring to intrude into baby’s territory!”
