“The key? The Kun Wu Saber?” Zhou Shu frowned. The Kun Wu Saber was in the hands of Tushan. He wanted to find her now.
However, it was obvious that Tushan wouldn’t show up so easily after tricking him into coming here.
There was a high chance that she wanted him to help her find something again.
Just like when she was searching for the Kun Wu Saber in the Weapon Burial Mountain, she probably wouldn’t show herself unless what she was looking for appeared.
“Yes and no,” Shi Changsheng said mysteriously.
Zhou Shu didn’t understand.
“Thank heaven and earth. Thank me too,” Shi Changsheng said triumphantly.
As he spoke, his figure turned into specks of light and disappeared from the Longevity Sword.
At the same time, the Longevity Sword automatically flew into the air, emitting sword qi.
The sword qi was very different from the aura of the Longevity Sword. Just as Zhou Shu was feeling extremely puzzled, the sword qi had already landed on the top of the mountain of gold.
Buzz—
The peak of the thousand-foot mountain of gold seemed to be triggered by sword qi, and a dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky.
Zhou Shu: “…”
Is that the key you were talking about?
Imitating the aura of a connate divine weapon?
Shi Changsheng is really… knowledgeable…
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment but still didn’t do anything to the mountain of gold. He took a step forward and arrived at the top of the mountain. Without any hesitation, he stepped into the pillar of light.
He felt as though he was taking an elevator in his previous life. He felt slightly dizzy as he appeared in another world.
This world was even more dilapidated than the previous one. There were broken walls everywhere, and magma could even be seen all over.
The rocks kept falling, landing on the magma and splashing up flames.
“Little Zhou, something’s wrong.” The Longevity Sword floated beside Zhou Shu, and Shi Changsheng’s voice sounded in his ear.
“The second heaven is already in this state. I’m afraid the higher levels have been completely destroyed,” Shi Changsheng said. “Be careful. This place is about to collapse. Don’t make too much of a move, or it will accelerate the collapse of this space.”
Shi Changsheng urged, “Hurry up. There should be a lot of good stuff in the second heaven. I wonder how much is left.”
Zhou Shu was about to take action when his eyes suddenly focused.
The next moment, he flew out like lightning.
Boom!
With a sonic boom, Zhou Shu crossed dozens of kilometers.
“I told you to be gentle!” Shi Changsheng shouted in exasperation. The Longevity Sword slowly flew after him, as if it was afraid of piercing through space.
Zhou Shu ignored him and landed on a rock, just in time to catch a falling figure in his arms.
At this moment, the huge rock that the figure was just on fell into the magma below with a splash.
“Little Lu!” Zhou Shu looked down at the person in his arms and called out.
Lu Wenshuang lay in Zhou Shu’s arms, her eyes closed, her face flushed.
Seemingly due to the high temperature of the magma in the second heaven, her clothes were already drenched in sweat and sticking tightly to her body.
Zhou Shu could even feel her skin through her clothes. Her defined figure made his mouth dry.
He frowned slightly and reached out to hold her wrist. Her pulse was a little rapid, but her life shouldn’t be in danger.
“Damn you, Tushan!” Zhou Shu cursed under his breath.
If he had been a step late, Lu Wenshuang would have already fallen into the magma. Even a first-rank martial artist would definitely die if they fell into magma.
Although Tushan didn’t kill her directly, leaving her here was clearly leaving her to die!
He wondered how Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong were doing now.
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes, feeling a little anxious.
Boom!
Zhou Shu heard a loud bang. A mountain in the distance slowly collapsed, and a volcano erupted.
The entire space resembled hell on earth. Similar scenes were happening everywhere.
This scene was exactly the same as before the destruction of the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven.
However, the process here was a little slower. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the second heaven of the Heavenly Hub Armory was still barely surviving.
“Old Shi, where is the entrance to the next level?” Zhou Shu asked grimly.
“Finding the entrance won’t help. What I just did can only be used once. I can’t get to the next level without a key,” Shi Changsheng said. “There are also many good things in the second heaven. I can feel the aura of heaven and earth treasures.”
The tip of the Longevity Sword pointed in a direction, and the blade hummed.
Before Zhou Shu could say anything, the Longevity Sword had already flown out.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly but still followed.
Zhou Shu carried Lu Wenshuang and flew hundreds of kilometers away. With a whoosh, the Longevity Sword entered a pool of magma.
He focused his gaze and realized that the fiery red magma was melted from forging materials!
Gurgle—
The sound of swallowing rang out. A few breaths later, the Longevity Sword reappeared in front of Zhou Shu, and the magma had disappeared.
The body of the Longevity Sword was brighter than before. If it was in human form now, Zhou Shu even felt that he could see it burping.
“Old Shi, what happened to my fifty percent?” Zhou Shu couldn’t help saying.
The second level of the Heavenly Hub Armory erupted, and the world collapsed. This place seemed to have become a natural smelting furnace. The forging materials that were originally stored here were melted into liquid by the high temperature.
Although these forging materials were rather messy after fusing, it wasn’t a problem for Zhou Shu. They could still be used to forge.
Now that the Longevity Sword had devoured everything, he was a little unhappy.
“Next time we find something good, you can have it all.” Shi Changsheng’s voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s ear, his voice filled with satisfaction.
“Forget it, Old Shi. If this second heaven is worthless, let’s go to the next one,” Zhou Shu said. “I don’t know where Tushan threw my brother and Yang Hong. I have to find them as soon as possible.”
“You have too many burdens,” the Longevity Sword said shakily. “Is it worth it to work all day for those people?
“Being a sword is better than being human.”
“In my opinion, it’s better to be human,” Zhou Shu said. “Old Shi, where is the entrance to the next level?”
“The most important place in each heaven of the nine heavens of the Heavenly Hub Armory is the entrance to the next heaven,” Shi Changsheng said. “The second heaven has already been destroyed to this extent. We won’t be able to find it.
“And I think the next heaven might have completely collapsed.”
Zhou Shu frowned. There was a mountain of gold in the previous level that was very eye-catching. But here, the volcanic eruption had destroyed all the signs.
“Impossible. Since Tushan lured me in, it means that there must be something she wants in the next few heavens. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done this! We can definitely find the entrance!” Zhou Shu said solemnly.
“Master.” At this moment, Lu Wenshuang, who was in Zhou Shu’s arms, twisted her body and slowly opened her eyes.
“Little Lu? You’re awake?” Zhou Shu was pleasantly surprised. “How do you feel?”
“Master, I know where Lushan went.” Lu Wenshuang felt the warmth of Zhou Shu’s embrace and blushed. She whispered, “She took Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong away. She said that she wanted to use the two of them as a blood sacrifice—”
“Bastard! When I find her, I won’t let her escape again!” Zhou Shu said angrily. “Where did she go?! Let’s go save them now!”
Lu Wenshuang raised her hand and pointed in a direction.
Zhou Shu snorted and flew in this direction.
“Be gentle! If you ruin this level, not only will you not be able to save anyone, you might die!” Shi Changsheng shouted in Zhou Shu’s consciousness and staggered after him.
