Speculating towards the worst possible outcome, Liu Yu wondered if the white light pillar might be a trap.
However, recalling that since entering the "Violet Star Heritage Estate," he had never encountered any cunning schemes, he leaned towards the belief that this was an option to exit midway rather than a trap.
From various signs, the master of this cave dwelling did not seem like the kind of person who would harbor resentment towards young cultivators on their deathbed.
The challenges encountered on this third level, though more difficult, still seemed to serve a testing nature.
After all, if there were truly heavy treasures, ordinary cultivators would not be able to withstand them.
With such thoughts, Liu Yu felt considerably more at ease and then shifted his gaze towards the bronze box within the golden light pillar.
He was actually quite looking forward to it, hoping to obtain a useful ancient treasure from within.
As before, he used the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear to retrieve the bronze box and then opened it from a distance.
"Crack!"
Confirming there was no danger, Liu Yu approached and beheld the true appearance of the item inside the box.
Inside the bronze box lay a purple cloak.
The palm-sized cloak occasionally shimmered with spiritual light, looking very extraordinary.
On its surface, there was an image of a Lightning Falcon, vibrant and lifelike.
“A cloak?”
Liu Yu's eyes sparkled as he picked up the purple cloak for inspection.
“Though the Lightning Falcon has a relatively weak physical body, its offensive capabilities rank among the top in the Spirit Demon bloodline, and its evasion speed is even quicker than that of the same level cold sky eagle.”
“This treasure is of excellent quality; it seems to be refined from the feathers of a fourth-stage Lightning Falcon, and its evasion speed must be extraordinary.”
After observing for a while and noticing the purple cloak's extraordinary qualities, a faint smile appeared on his face.
As his evasion speed was approaching four thousand miles every hour, the assistance provided by the magical treasure "Black Wind Wings" was becoming less and less significant.
After all, the base evasion speed was already high, and with no change in assistance, the help would naturally diminish.
Moreover, the materials used to refine the Black Wind Wings came from a cold sky eagle that was only in the mid-third stage, which had no further room for improvement.
The purple cloak was just in time to fill this gap.
Its quality far exceeded that of the Black Wind Wings, and it could greatly enhance his evasion speed when activated. Additionally, since it was an ancient treasure, even if it had been used by others before, Liu Yu's refining would not diminish its effectiveness.
“Not bad, not bad.”
With the purple cloak in hand, Liu Yu's mood lifted significantly.
“Purple Lightning Cloak?”
On one corner of the back of the purple cloak, Liu Yu found two small ancient characters that, if he was not mistaken, should be the name of this treasure.
He put the Purple Lightning Cloak into his storage bracelet, looking forward to its performance in the future.
Increasing his evasion speed had numerous benefits; it allowed for both offensive and defensive maneuvers, and the chances of survival against a yuan ying true monarch would be much greater.
After a brief moment of joy, Liu Yu did not forget where he was and his expression returned to calm.
He then turned his gaze towards the golden teleportation pillar.
With his strength, if the difficulty increased as it had in the previous three levels, progressing through several more layers would be no problem.
Having obtained a practical item like the “Purple Lightning Cloak,” he certainly was not willing to leave just yet.
After testing and confirming the teleportation pillar was safe, Liu Yu enveloped himself in azure spiritual light and stepped inside.
“If the difficulty keeps skyrocketing like this, while I can still cope with it easily now, I won't be able to pass through many more levels.”
