In the pitch black space, the Goblin Beast did not stay still for long. After a few seconds, it moved once again, charging straight towards Chu Mubai.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of wind ripping apart could be heard, and Chu Mubai immediately sensed the approaching danger as the Flowing Shadow Bone Step activated.

"Bam!"

The sound of the collision echoed like thunder as it fell. Chu Mubai felt a violent impact on his back, as though it was being torn apart. Fortunately, he had released the power of his steel arms, and his entire body was as hard and solid as steel.

Just as his body was about to explode and fly out, he turned around and his left hand directly grabbed onto a hard object in front of him. Then, he shouted loudly and violently swung his right fist, which was already raised high into the air, and heavily smashed it onto the demonic beast's body.

"Boom!"

A strength of 100,000 Jin was released in an instant. It was as though a towering mountain was crashing down, instantly smashing the body of the demonic beast into pieces. Fresh blood splattered in all directions.

"Is it over?"

Chu Mubai had only felt fresh blood splattering everywhere, but he didn't know what exactly was happening in the darkness.

Of course, there was no answer to the question, but the pitch black space was like a deep whirlpool, constantly spinning and trembling, until Chu Mubai felt himself being drawn into the spatial whirlpool, and he felt a heavy sense of suffocation.

Dozens of seconds later, when he was once again able to breathe, he opened his eyes and was surprised to find that he had somehow entered another space.

This also meant that he had successfully passed the second trial and arrived at the third floor!

The third floor of the Star Summoning Tower was a scorched wasteland. The burning hot question was whether or not there were rising flames in the surroundings. The meteor crashed down from the sky, dragging a long tail of flames behind it.

Everything here was very similar to the apocalyptic scene in the beginning.

"Just where is this place? Everything seems so real, and this test, just what is it? "

Chu Mubai frowned, he was quiet for a few seconds, then he sighed.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook. Waves of tearing wind came forth as the surrounding sand and rocks were sent flying into the air. The destructive aura from the wind assaulted his face.

As if he had fallen into some kind of power, Chu Mubai felt his consciousness become blurry bit by bit. He had even forgotten many things, many promises, and all those things … Thirty thousand years later!

His eyes were filled with confusion as he continued walking forwards. He had no goal in mind, and there was no end in sight … That was the fear in his heart, the thing that he had always suppressed in his heart. It was also the only thing that he did not dare to face since thirty thousand years ago.

On that side, the Shen Wu Dynasty's destiny had collapsed. That day, the end of the world had actually been inextricably linked to him.

If he had not shown off his strength, how could the luck of the empire have collapsed?

He brought honor to the Shen Wu Dynasty, but also destruction.

The destruction of the empire, the deaths of countless people, his friends, his family, and even his loved ones … all of this was because of him. All of this had been caused by his own death.

This was something he didn't dare face the most, but it was something that was hidden deep within his heart.

At this moment, everything that happened in this scorched earth wilderness made him think of the destruction of the Shen Wu Dynasty, to the point where he accidentally lost himself and fell into a trap on the third floor.

Outside the Star Summoning Tower, the Martial Sect Disciple and Martial Ancestor Realm Elders were all quietly observing the situation within the Martial Arts Tower.

Although they could not clearly see what happened to the people inside, they could clearly determine how many people had entered the golden curtain.

Currently, there were still 10 people on the first floor of the Star Summoning Tower, and 11 people on the second floor. Only one person had entered the third floor!

This person was Chu Mubai, but the spectators did not know, and they were all cheering for the first person, excited about him. From all the tests, the first to enter the third floor had a very determined heart, so it was easy to achieve something in the martial way.

Everyone began to talk about who the first person to enter the first floor was!

"Among the twenty-two people who participated in the Star Summoning Tower's assessment, the most talented one should be the First Prince of the fifth-grade empire, Sun Quan. I heard that he is now a martial artist of Xiantian eighth stage and is only one step away from the ninth stage. Moreover, he seems to have awakened the power of the Astral Souls!"

Amongst the surrounding Martial Sect Disciple, one of them quietly discussed.

All of the previous disciples of the Martial Ancestor Realm had been chosen by the sect, so it was common for many people to know about their information.

However, people like Chu Mubai who came from the The Eighth Dynasty were rarely selected, so in everyone's eyes, he was just a commoner.

Furthermore, he is not someone that an ordinary rich family can compare to. He has participated in the bloody battle to exterminate the demonic path, and has truly survived from the battlefield. I heard that at such a young age, he is already a general of the Ancient Sha Nation, and cannot be underestimated.

Another disciple said as his mouth twitched.

Obviously, everyone had different opinions, which was enough to say that among the 24 people that were chosen with Chu Mubai, none of them had a simple identity, other than him.

Because of this, no one chose to guess at Chu Mubai. In the eyes of everyone, he was definitely one of the ten people who were still trapped on the first floor.

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, there were already people who were forced to leave because they were unable to pass the test.

After just an hour had passed, the three participants had already crushed the jade and left.

At this moment, there were a total of four people on the third floor!

Chu Mubai's eyes were still filled with confusion as he continued walking forward. But this time, other than a little confusion, there was also a struggle within his pupils!

It was as if he had discovered something. Thus, he wanted to break free from the shackles binding his heart and escape from this bewilderment.

"Just what kind of power is this? It's not an illusion technique, it's more like … It was a type of magic treasure that could penetrate the soul and enter one's bone marrow. Once it sank deep within, it would be very difficult to extricate itself! Now, although I had already awakened from this confusion, I was unable to control my body. "Damn it!"

Chu Mubai's soul was unceasingly cursing him, but his body was still unceasingly walking forward, with no intentions of stopping at all.

Although the place in front of him was still a scorched earth wasteland, Chu Mubai could clearly feel that something was wrong!

He was sure that not too far away, there would be a true crisis. He had to think of a way to stop this power.

"That's right, the Heart Cleansing Curse can definitely do it!"

Chu Mubai suddenly thought of the chant that he had cultivated for thirty thousand years and could not help but mutter to himself in excitement.

"The Heart Cleansing Curse was obtained from my training with Master Jingyi. Thirty thousand years ago, he was the first great monk to reach the Dao. When he bestowed this Heart Cleansing Curse to me, he also explicitly said that this Heart Cleansing Curse can solve all the troubles in the world, allowing you to forget and forget everything."

After a moment of thought, Chu Mubai did not hesitate any longer and immediately began reciting the chants in his heart and cultivating the Heart Cleansing Art.

Because he couldn't control his own body, he could only rely on his soul to cultivate.

Thankfully, the cultivation of mental cultivation methods did not require a physical body, only a spiritual mind.

However, the Pure Heart Curse was even more difficult to cultivate than he had imagined. This was because what was written was all in the Sanskrit language, and he was completely unable to understand it.

Fortunately, Master Jing Yi had written a few simple annotations. These annotations were from thirty thousand years ago, so Chu Mubai was able to understand them.

Although Master Jing Yi had only marked the first few pages, the current situation was urgent. To Chu Mubai, these few pages were more than enough!

However, when he was attempting to break through the soul shackles while cultivating the Heart Cleansing Curse, he was shocked to discover that all of this was completely different from what he had imagined!

The so-called scorched earth wasteland was just a cover, and was only there to let you struggle. In reality, the real Star Summoning Tower's third floor was a test for the soul.

This was the so-called evil!

In the heart of martial arts, courage, talent, and the heart of power were important, but the difference between good and evil was crucial.

A person with an evil heart had an unfavorable view towards the mainland, the empires and the Martial Ancestors. If they were to gradually grow up under the tutelage of the Martial Ancestors, wouldn't it be like nurturing a tiger and causing trouble?

Therefore, when he was selecting his disciples, he already needed to know whether his heart of martial arts was right or wrong, especially with regards to people like Chu Mubai who could be selected by the elders as their direct disciple, he should pay extra attention.

The formation here was directly used to bind the soul. It was able to delve into one's inner thoughts through all things around them, such as air, sparks, and scorched earth.

Chu Mubai appeared here without any precautions, so naturally, he wouldn't be able to discover the secret hidden deep within his heart.

Thus, the place that he appeared in was the apocalypse. The continent that was about to be destroyed.

However, he was constantly moving forward, so he didn't know for the moment why.

Could it be that I couldn't be sure whether my thoughts were right or evil?

However, after releasing the Heart Cleansing Curse, he had truly reacted and was able to control his own body.

However, there was one thing that made him especially surprised. It was also very depressing and helpless.

That was the third floor of the Star Summoning Tower. Not only was it a test of one's heart of martial arts, but it was also a test of one's true strength.

This place, as the final test for disciples that had been invited, was indeed not simple.

Chu Mubai had successfully passed the test for the heart of martial arts through the Heart Cleansing Curse. The next thing to appear was the true danger mentioned by the examiners!

A martial artist, puppet, demon beast, these were all fatal dangers!
