Chapter 337: Yuan Yan Palace
Chapter 337: Yuan Yan Palace
"Old Peng?"
Just as the Great Peng Sovereign's life ended, the Great Ape Sovereign on the ground roared, and a layer of earthy yellow light enveloped its furry fist.
Bang!
Lin Qianzhu barely managed to unleash his 'Half Law Palm', which he had gained insight into, but was then punched and sent flying, creating a deep pit several meters deep on a nearby hill. Blood flowed from his nose and mouth, "So...so strong! This Great Ape Sovereign not only has an incredibly powerful physique, but each punch also carries the weight of mountains. It's definitely a strong practitioner of the Earth Law at the beginner level, and its understanding of the law even surpasses mine."
At that moment, he also saw the body of the Great Peng Sovereign falling from mid-air, and a smile appeared on his face, "Great...even if I die, I can still take down a Beast Emperor, it's not too bad a deal!"
Boom!
A shadow appeared, it was the Great Ape Sovereign!
Its eyes were bloodshot, and as it stomped its big foot, it roared, "Die!"
Just as Lin Qianzhu closed his eyes, accepting his fate, he was suddenly enveloped in a ball of earthy yellow light.
A copper-armored man appeared before him and punched out as well! This punch didn't have the same grandeur as the Great Ape Sovereign's, it looked ordinary, but when it struck the Great Ape Sovereign's foot, a tremor followed.
The Great Ape Sovereign's body instantly flew backward, and even in mid-air, its bones began to shatter. By the time it hit the ground, it had turned into a pile of muddy flesh.
"You...Senior...no, that's not right..."
Lin Qianzhu, who had narrowly escaped death, widened his eyes, finally confirming that the copper-armored man had no trace of life in him, he was just a puppet!
"The master ordered me to hold the line, and since I saw you were about to die, I took action."
Puppet Number 1 spoke indifferently.
'The President actually has such a powerful puppet? One punch was enough to kill the Great Ape Sovereign?'
Lin Qianzhu's heart stirred with countless waves of shock: 'And his strength is so formidable, capable of single-handedly killing a Beast Emperor...it seems that everything he did before was just a joke? The President's every move must have a deeper meaning!'
As Fang Xing landed, Lin Qianzhu had already completely calmed down and followed respectfully behind him, "President...there should be three Beast Emperors here, now that two of them are dead, the last one, the Great Serpent Sovereign, hasn't shown itself yet. It's always been very mysterious..."
"Let's go, let's take a look at the core of the borderland."
Fang Xing, accompanied by the copper-armored puppet, felt that his strength was sufficient to suppress an entire planet, so he had no inhibitions.
"Master...this was found inside the Great Ape."
The copper-armored puppet handed over a stone shard, which looked ordinary, so ordinary that even Fang Xing almost overlooked it.
"What is this?"
Fang Xing's thoughts stirred, and with a flick of his spear, he extracted a similar stone shard from the body of the Great Peng Sovereign.
"It seems to be some kind of token, but my power can't destroy it."
The copper-armored puppet said.
"Even you can't destroy it?"
Fang Xing nodded, put away the stone shard, and accompanied Lin Qianzhu to the deepest part of Shen Nong Ridge.
Here, the sky was always overcast, and the void seemed like a mirror, vaguely reflecting the broken world on the other side.
"The core of the borderland!"
Lin Qianzhu's heart was filled with excitement, "As long as this place is destroyed, the Shen Nong Ridge area will no longer be plagued by beast disasters."
"What's that?"
Fang Xing had excellent eyesight, and he saw a pitch-black palace in the broken world.
The palace was vast and majestic...it seemed to be over three hundred kilometers long!
"Even Little Gray spoke vaguely about the borderland, there must be a big secret here."
He tapped his Fire Cloud Spear, and a thousands-of-meters-long crimson spear light shot out, piercing into the core of the borderland.
Crash!
That astonishing strike was instantly shredded by the void, leaving no trace behind.
"This..."
Lin Qianzhu was stunned by this sight.
Just then, Fang Xing felt a disturbance in his storage ring.
He flipped his hand, and two stone shards appeared.
On the stone shards, mottled light converged.
A majestic voice sounded directly in Fang Xing's ear: 【Holder of the token, do you wish to enter the 'Yuan Yan Palace'?】
"It seems to be another secret realm."
Fang Xing casually threw one of the stone shards to Lin Qianzhu, "You try it first."
"Yes!"
Lin Qianzhu gritted his teeth, "I'll go!"
In the next moment, a flash of silver light, and his figure disappeared.
"So strong."
Fang Xing had already released his perception, but with his understanding of the Law of Fire, he couldn't sense how Lin Qianzhu had disappeared.
"Wait a bit...wait until the end of the descent period is almost over, then enter and take a look. If Lin Qianzhu can come out within this time, that would be best."
He sat down cross-legged and began to wait silently.
Perhaps, the missing Great Serpent Sovereign was in this Yuan Yan Palace!
One day passed...
Two days passed...
On the third day.
"It's almost time."
Fang Xing hadn't seen the Great Serpent Sovereign or Lin Qianzhu, and with the time for his return approaching, he finally stopped hesitating.
"Proceed!"
His intent seeped into the stone shard, and with a flash of light, his figure vanished.
...
In a certain place.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing's gaze focused, and he saw clusters of flames appearing out of thin air.
Roar!
Then, from the flames, beast after beast emerged, their bodies seemingly composed entirely of fire, and each roar shook the void.
"Beast King?"
"So many?"
The next moment, hundreds of Flame Beasts surrounded him.
Fang Xing's movements were as swift as lightning, his body leaping like flames.
As he maneuvered, the Flame Cloud Spear in his hand shot out like a dragon, transforming into clusters of crimson fire clouds that engulfed the beasts.
Facing this siege, he utilized his agility to the extreme, ensuring no enemies were behind him, and swiftly dealt with those in front.
Pfft!
After more than ten minutes, Fang Xing swept the spear horizontally, turning the last Flame Beast into ashes.
Boom!
Just as the last beast was eliminated, Fang Xing suddenly felt an overwhelming force of nature descend upon him, rendering him immobile.
"Good, very good!"
A beam of light descended, transforming into the figure of an elder with curved black horns on his head. He was born with double pupils, and as he looked at Fang Xing, his expression carried a hint of regret. "What a pity... You are a human, not a Nightmare Beast, and can only become a Honorary Disciple of the Yuan Yan Palace..."
"What do you mean?"
Fang Xing's face showed confusion.
"My master, known as the 'Yuan Yan Palace Lord,' is an incredibly powerful being... As the spirit of the Yuan Yan Palace, I have always followed my master's will, selecting disciples for him... Your talent, comprehension, and age... You fully qualify to become my master's personal disciple. However, my master only accepts those of the same race... You and that human who is still in the trial cannot even become Inner Sect Disciples, only Honorary Disciples."
"Another heritage?"
Fang Xing struggled to maintain his composure. There were so many cosmic heritages on Daxia Planet.
"Haha... Doesn't that top-tier cosmic spaceship you're wearing also contain a heritage?"
The Black Horned Elder's gaze seemed to pierce through everything, and he coldly laughed, "It's just a Star Lord Realm heritage. Apart from the spaceship being decent, everything else is worthless... My master, the Yuan Yan Palace Lord, is a Law Sovereign Realm powerhouse!"
"Damn it!" Inside the Great Heavy Mansion, Little Gray's eyes were bloodshot, but he was helpless.
The fact that he hadn't noticed the other party earlier, yet they easily detected him, proved the gap in their levels.
"What merits does this Daxia Planet have? To have the heritage of a Law Sovereign Realm?"
Fang Xing sighed.
"Haha... You're overestimating yourself. After my master's fall, his Inner World collapsed, affecting several galaxies and countless planets... As long as you reach the core of the Borderland and obtain the token, you can be led to the Yuan Yan Palace for a trial, similar to the heritage points on your planet. There are over ten thousand such places in the nearby galaxies..."
The Black Horned Elder couldn't help but laugh.
"An Inner World collapse affecting several galaxies? And he could cultivate a world within his body?"
Fang Xing felt suffocated.
He had long known that the Daxia World's power and level seemed to far surpass the main universe.
Now it seemed, it was indeed so! After all, in the main universe, there was only one confirmed Law Sovereign Realm being, the Creator, who was still in a slumber.
But in the Daxia World, there were numerous Law Sovereign Realm powerhouses, and even higher Dao Sovereign Realm existences!
'This Black Horned Spirit is extraordinary, even the Great Heavy Mansion doesn't seem to impress him...'
Although, for Fang Xing, the Great Heavy Mansion was already an unimaginable top-tier cosmic spaceship.
"Wait... So, the Beast Calamity is because your master's Inner World collapsed?"
Fang Xing suddenly thought of a problem.
No wonder Little Gray had been so secretive about the Borderland and considered it a cosmic wonder.
Turns out, it was related to the death of a Law Sovereign Realm powerhouse!
"That's right. My master's Inner World was a universe in itself, and the main continent alone had a diameter of over ninety billion kilometers."
The Black Horned Elder boasted, "After his fall, the Inner World collapsed, creating spatial convergence with countless galaxies and planets... Even a wisp of my master's breath can bless a planet, giving birth to countless Beast Clans... This is the blessing of evolution."
Fang Xing was speechless.
'A continent with a diameter of ninety billion kilometers, that's almost the size of a solar system!'
'And as expected, the thinking of these powerful beings from different races is different. They discriminate against humans... Well, they are not of our kind...'
'But to drag countless planets into the Beast Calamity and consider it a blessing... That's going too far. If I could, I'd give you a good beating.'
'Indeed, while heritages are good, they are also full of danger... It might even be a dead end!'
Fang Xing sighed silently in his heart.
Fortunately, this time, the Yuan Yan Palace Lord from the heritage only discriminated against humans. If it were someone who hated humans, they might have directly killed the human experts who entered the Yuan Yan Palace.
'Wait... If Li Ying dies, will I automatically return, or will I lose this consciousness too?'
A strange question popped into Fang Xing's mind.
The content of the Ten Thousand Hearts Secret Manual he had read earlier, regarding the relationship between the heart, mind, and soul, resurfaced.
'According to the manual, psychic power is the outermost layer of the soul, willpower is the middle layer, and the true spirit resides in the deepest part of the soul...'
'So, I might be a true spirit that has crossed over? As long as this spirit doesn't have a way to destroy my true spirit, they probably can't truly eliminate me.'
'Wait, they don't seem to want to eliminate me either, they just asked if I wanted to be a Honorary Disciple...'
