Chapter 504: The Black Demon Temple
"Oh? What is it?"
Quilan's eyebrows rose, displaying an air of defiance.
"I want a coordinate. That person once fell into the Nightmare Palace."
Fang Xing snapped his fingers, and a phantom image appeared, none other than Li Ying's sidekick, Lin Qianzhu.
Back then, this sidekick had accompanied him into the Nightmare Palace, and he had no idea if he was still alive or not.
"Hmm?"
Quilan paused briefly, seemingly communicating with the spirit of the Nightmare Palace's artifact. He then shook his head, "This person has passed the test and is considered a registered disciple of my master. I cannot reveal his information..."
Fang Xing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I won't do anything harmful to him."
"I believe that too, but attracting the attention of a powerful being with a mere ant is not a good thing," Quilan said.
Without waiting for Fang Xing to respond, he suddenly disappeared into the Nightmare Palace.
"Tsk tsk... He's quite a principled fellow."
Fang Xing commented.
For other cosmic wanderers, gaining the favor of a powerful being with a cosmic coordinate would undoubtedly be a profitable venture.
But Quilan had refused, clearly harboring the intention to protect the lineage of the Daxia planet.
Of course, it wasn't out of kindness towards humans but rather a sense of duty to safeguard the Nightmare Palace lineage.
Sacrificing a registered disciple to gain the favor of a powerful being was not something he would do.
Compared to those who casually killed their subordinates for a small gain, his integrity was indeed much higher.
"Forget it, if he doesn't want to say, he doesn't have to. There will be opportunities in the future."
Fang Xing shook his head and disappeared into the universe.
...
Inside the Nightmare Palace.
Streams of light converged, transforming into the artifact spirit of the Black Horned Elder, Quilan, "Quilan... Your intention to protect the Palace Master's disciple is commendable, but in the grand scheme of the universe, it might be a bit of a loss... That person is very strong! I even suspect he can rival those in the Lawmaster Realm..."
"Black Elder."
Quilan showed great respect towards the Black Horned Elder, "Since I've become the new master of the Nightmare Palace, I must shoulder certain responsibilities. Even if it means gaining a formidable enemy, so be it. He will be my sharpening stone, and one day, I will defeat him."
"Indeed, to become strong, this unwavering determination is the most fundamental."
The Black Horned Elder nodded in satisfaction and then scratched his head, "That person gives me a strange feeling... He seems very familiar with the Nightmare Palace, but I'm certain I've never met him..."
He casually grabbed a stone tablet, "Everyone who enters the Nightmare Palace will leave their soul essence on this tablet. There's no trace of this person... But the one he's looking for, Lin Qianzhu, became a registered disciple after passing the test and chose a fire-attribute inheritance before leaving... As for the coordinates, they are in the Ophiuchus Star System."
"For a powerful being to be so concerned about him, there might be some secrets on his planet. It's worth checking out after the Black Demon Temple event."
Quilan said, "I need to start preparing. Black Elder, could you look after that little guy for me?"
"Rest assured, as a Nightmare Beast, I will give it the best nurturing."
The Black Horned Elder looked at the young cub, and a rare warmth appeared on his face...
...
"The Black Demon Temple... It's truly mysterious..."
Meanwhile, on a regular Sea Clan planet.
Fang Xing, holding the Web Scale, was browsing through the introduction of the 'Black Demon Temple Secret Realm'.
Since it was public information, there were no secrets, and knowing the basics was already a good outcome.
"The Black Demon Temple is like a cosmic wonder, appearing at regular intervals and distributing 'Black Magic Tokens'..."
"Those who hold a 'Black Magic Token' will have their consciousness enter the true 'Black Demon Temple' when it opens... So, it's a virtual space?"
"Precisely because of that, the best part of the Black Demon Temple is the various inheritances... But there are also cases of bringing out physical items."
"Just from this, we can deduce that the Black Demon Temple is not just a 14th-stage Domain Lord-level relic, but there's a possibility of it being a remnant from the 15th-stage Eternal Realm."
At this moment, within Fang Xing's body, a rumble echoed. In the Star Palace, the neutron star suddenly moved, and all around, the cosmic energy crystals had turned into dense fog.
"With enough cosmic energy absorbed, I can now break through and become a Celestial Immortal Lawmaster of the 13th stage with a single thought..."
"But if I do that, I'll definitely miss out on the opportunity of the Black Demon Temple. It's better to wait until after the Black Demon Temple event to break through."
Fang Xing smiled slightly and suppressed this restlessness, continuing to enjoy his leisure.
...
Months later.
As Fang Xing was biting into a meat slab taller than himself, he paused, "Finally... Is it here?"
He instantly teleported to a floating meteor in outer space.
Here, he had already prepared a secluded area for seclusion, with various defensive arrays fully activated.
At this moment, Fang Xing sat cross-legged, holding the Black Magic Token in both hands.
Hum! In the next instant, an unknown suction force appeared.
A strand of his consciousness passed through the Black Magic Token, arriving at a secret realm in the universe.
...
"Is this place... virtual or real?"
In the void, a body suddenly came into existence.
Fang Xing clenched his fist and then smirked, "It's been a long time since I've felt such a weak body... Guardian Star Rank's cosmic energy?"
The satellite-level one was pretty average. It seems that within the Black Demon Temple, everyone's physical qualities are similar, and they can only rely on their combat experience and understanding of the laws..."
This was terrible news for those who relied solely on their powerful physical strength, like the former Black Dragon clone. He would probably be at a disadvantage here.
But for Fang Xing, who had thoroughly comprehended the True Self Law and had profound insights into other laws, this was not a problem. Instead, it was a significant advantage.
He looked up and saw a palace that was profoundly dark and enigmatic.
The palace gate alone was hundreds of miles high.
"The Black Demon Temple..."
Fang Xing looked around and noticed that there were no other people nearby, indicating that there were multiple entrances to the palace.
He flew straight into the palace and immediately felt the world spinning. He had arrived in an unfamiliar space.
[Trial participants must pass through the three halls of the Black Demon Temple to obtain Black Magic Points as a reward!]
[The more halls you pass, the higher the Black Magic Points, and the better the rewards you can exchange!]
In an instant, a message appeared in Fang Xing's sea of consciousness.
'So this is what the Black Demon Temple is like?'
The correct version is available on 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar first release of this novel.
Fang Xing's heart stirred.
The experiences in the Black Demon Temple were not available on the Sea Clan's network, probably because they involved confidential information and were hidden.
At this moment, he looked ahead and saw a puppet covered in black scales.
It barely resembled a human form, with blood-red eyes, and was wielding two large hammers.
As it attacked, the two hammers seemed to possess a mysterious power, emitting an astonishing gravitational force that compelled Fang Xing to fall under the hammers and be crushed into mud.
"A battle strength of the ninth level of the Planetary Stage."
Fang Xing nodded and glanced at it.
The black-scaled human-shaped puppet suddenly paused, and from the two hammers, it began to gradually fade into nothingness.
Finally, its entire body turned into nothingness, like a fleeting illusion.
"The fifth level of the Illusory Law has already provided extraordinary empowerment."
Fang Xing nodded and proceeded to the second palace.
Inside the palace, there was another black-scaled human-shaped puppet with two heads and four arms. As it swung its giant hammers, it created four black light screens, giving Fang Xing the feeling that he couldn't dodge its attacks.
"A battle strength of the tenth level of the Stellar Stage."
Fang Xing nodded and, as usual, with just a glance, caused the puppet to freeze and dissipate...
He then entered the third palace and encountered a three-headed, six-armed puppet, as expected, with a battle strength of the eleventh level of the Red Giant Stage.
The six hammers in its hands kept expanding, and its surface was covered in crimson lava patterns.
However, Fang Xing turned it into an illusion with just a glance.
[Successfully pass through the first three halls and receive 100 Black Magic Points!]
A new message appeared.
Fang Xing chuckled and proceeded to the fourth palace.
"Die!"
The puppet in this palace also had three heads and six arms, but its eyes were lively and expressive.
Boom!
As it swung its war hammer, its body became as indestructible as a neutron star. Even with Fang Xing's illusory power, he could barely withstand the attack, leaving him weakened.
"Indeed, the fourth palace is far more challenging than the previous three."
Fang Xing raised his hand and pointed, causing silver-white patterns to appear and transform into a silver-white arc of light that swept across the puppet's neck.
In an instant, the puppet's neutron star-like body was sliced at the neck, and its massive head fell off.
[Successfully pass through the fourth palace and receive 1000 Black Magic Points!]
A new message appeared, causing Fang Xing to nod in agreement: "Those who can pass through the fourth palace must have an elite-level understanding of the laws among neutron star-level beings."
He entered the fifth palace and encountered the guardian puppet.
This puppet had only one head and two arms, but its entire body exuded a sense of solemnity.
When Fang Xing saw it, he felt like he was seeing his own Black Dragon clone.
"A Black Hole-level physical cultivation?"
Fang Xing sighed and watched as the puppet swung its fist, unleashing a powerful punch.
Boom!
With this punch, space-time distorted, carrying a hint of space-time fusion. Wherever it passed, space became chaotic.
Within the chaos, an indestructible sun-like body appeared! By thoroughly comprehending the True Self Law, one could not only make oneself and illusions real but also withstand external harm. As long as one firmly believed in oneself as real, external harm could be perceived as illusory.
In the illusion, only the true self exists! This is the principle of 'Beyond myself, nothing else matters'! Fang Xing formed a palm with both hands and slowly pushed forward with the Great Sun Buddha Palm.
Under the indescribable radiance of the Great Sun, the black puppet's Black Hole-level body quickly melted away...
[Successfully pass through the fifth palace and receive 10,000 Black Magic Points!]
As expected, a prompt appeared, but Fang Xing's expression turned solemn: "The fifth palace is Black Hole-level, and the guardian of the sixth palace is probably a Supreme Master Powerhouse. I wonder which level of Celestial Immortal they are equivalent to?"
He entered the sixth palace and immediately felt an intense heat.
It was a flame that seemed to burn everything, and a black war god emerged from within the flames.
"The fourth level of the Celestial Immortal Stage..."
Fang Xing exhaled: "My weak body probably can't compete..."
