Chapter 562: Independent Space?
rab her.Yu Yueyue screamed in fright and hurried back to the private room."What's wrong" Li Bingyan asked, taken aback.Yu Yueyue ran back to Fang Yu's side, her face pale, and said, "I encountered..."...Lin Batian strode to where Fang Yu had been standing.
This is just a flat piece of land, no different from anywhere else on the mountaintop.
Lin Baitian looked up at the sky, where a layer of white clouds drifted.
He stomped his foot on the ground again, but found nothing.
If there were any restrictions or formations here, Lin Batian's sensing ability would be impossible to miss them.
But Fang Yu's disappearance further confirmed that there was definitely something abnormal here, it's just that he couldn't find it.
"Pulled into the ancient demon tower That's interesting." Lin Batian strolled leisurely, deep in thought.
He hadn't encountered such a baffling situation in a long time.
And now, he is merely a trace of the original's will, possessing no artifacts. Only a wisp of ethereal energy remains, and he is unable to probe for anomalies using any magical implements.
"Just wait, he should be back soon." Lin Baitai wasn't worried about Fang Yu's safety at all.
……
At this time, Fang Yu found himself in a dark space.
Before him lay a narrow path, flanked by walls as black as night.
At the end of the path, two torches hung on the walls on either side, casting a dim light.
"Here...is this the inside of the Ancient Demon Tower" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the path ahead.
Just now, he stood at the center of where the ancient pagoda was seen through the Great Yan Lantern. Suddenly, he felt his body lighten and the space around him distort to some extent, and then he came to this place right now.
The power that brought him to this place, it seemed like some kind of law, a force of nature.
"Could the Ancient Demon Tower be an independent small world Does it not exist in the space outside" Fang Yu thought to himself.
After some thought, I came up with nothing.
There is no other way in this space, only forward.
Then, Fang Yu took a step.
As Fang Yu walked toward the end of the narrow path, he observed the walls on either side.
The wall was completely bare, a pitch-black void that didn't even seem to be made of stone.
After walking for a while, Fang Yu stopped and reached out his hand to touch the wall, wanting to feel its texture.
But the moment his hand touched the wall, it just went right through!
The material of the wall was not as hard as Fang Yu had guessed, but rather unnaturally soft.
At the same time, a wave of extreme cold traveled along Fang Yu's fingers, spreading through his meridians and blood vessels like a virus, covering his entire body!
If someone else were to be struck by such a frigid blast, they would surely perish instantly. At the very least, they would be frozen solid on the spot!
But Fang Yu's body, the true qi flowing within his meridians, quickly released a warm breath as if defending itself against the extreme cold in his torso.
At the same time, the little golden dragon circling in Fang Yu's dantian seemed to sense this chill. Its circling speed suddenly increased, so much so that Fang Yu felt his dantian getting a little too hot.
The results of all the commotion inside his body were that Fang Yu, like nothing had happened, retracted his finger and continued walking forward.
After walking for a while, Fang Yu stopped again, his brows furrowed.
As he started walking forward, he could clearly feel the distance to the two torches ahead was closing.
After stopping once before, he kept walking forward, and the distance remained unchanged!
He walked for about thirty seconds, just pacing in place!
"Welcome to my world."
At this moment, a deep voice echoed from all directions, pouring into Fang Yu's ears.
This voice possessed an extremely penetrating force, piercing through people like a blade.
If one's physical body is not strong enough, this voice alone could shatter one's internal organs.
"Who is it" Fang Yu asked.
"I am the master here," he replied.
"Did he take my artifact" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked again.
"Who's talking about the lamp" the other person asked, their tone turning serious.
"Yes, I have to get it back." Fang Yu said, "It's not right to steal from others."
Fang Yu conversed with the voice while releasing his divine sense, trying to pinpoint its origin.
But he discovered that his divine sense couldn't be released at all, as if some force was blocking it, tightly locked within him!
"There is no need to struggle," the voice said. "Since you have entered my world, there is no possibility of leaving."
"Just like those greedy cultivators, become my meal!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the walls on either side began to converge towards the center.
Fang Yu's face remained unchanged, a slight expansion of true qi within his body. A faint golden glow emanated from him.
The walls on both sides, the instant they touched Fang Yu's body, emitted a 'crackling' sound.
Just like suddenly adding water to a burning hot iron pan, the walls around him steamed with white vapor. Yet, none of it could touch Fang Yu in the slightest.
"I want to take back that lamp," Fang Yu said.
As it stands, he's determined that the location found by the Dayan Lamp has nothing to do with the Ziyan Palace.
And from another perspective, this place was found through Xiao Chen's aura... That means the existence here must have something in common with Xiao Chen.
What is the most obvious aura about Xiao Chen
Reforged spirit, and a body capable of spiritualization... A Devourer of Sources!
Could it be that the presence here is also a Source Devourer
This is very possible.
"Crackle..."
The walls on either side continued to close in, but they were never able to encroach upon Fang Yu's body.
At this moment, Fang Yu was like a stone wedged between two lumps of cotton, utterly unyielding!
"Most people will die here, but apparently I'm a little stronger than them, aren't I" That voice came again.
"You're not who I'm looking for. Give me back the lantern, and I'll leave immediately. Let's just avoid each other." Fang Yu frowned. "I don't have time to waste here."
"I said it before, once you enter here, there's no way out," that voice stated coldly, "As for the lamp, after death it belongs to no one, naturally, it belongs to me."
"Do you mean murder and robbery" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
The other party did not speak again.
The next second, Fang Yu felt his body lighten, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The walls on both sides were no longer dark and gloomy, but desolate fields.
A bright moon hung in the sky. Without any clouds to obscure it, its light shone brightly on the ground.
The surroundings were eerily silent, with no sign of any other life.
"I heard these cultivators call this place the Ancient Demon Tower" The voice appeared again, "Who came up with that name I quite like it."
"Now, I'll have some ancient monsters come and play with us."
As soon as his voice fell, dozens of flashes of light suddenly appeared behind the slope in front of Fang Yu.
These flashes of light, were nothing other than the glowing eyes of the demons!
Not only ahead, but also on the left, right, and behind, there are many eyes!
"Cough..."
This group of beasts let out low, raspy breaths, their limbs seeming to claw at the ground, making a scraping sound.
Fāng Yǔ narrowed his eyes, observing the group of monsters before him.
Under the moonlight's glow, Fang Yu quickly made out what kind of monster this group was.
It resembles a lion in appearance, but its joints shimmer with silver, and its claws are sharp and slender.
Seventh-order monster, Steelbone Lion!
This kind of monster, Fang Yu hadn't seen it for many years, but now he saw so many at once, it was very likely a whole species.
Boom boom boom...
A steel-boned lion, as large as an elephant, emerged from behind the hillside and stood at the front, staring directly at Fang Yu.
In its twin eyes, a bloodthirsty aura burned just as brightly.
This is a Lion King! An eighth-order monster!
"Where did you get so many steel-bone lions" Fang Yu frowned, thought to himself.
"Roar..."
At this moment, the steel-bone lion king ahead raised its head, opened its bloody maw, revealing its menacing fangs, and let out a long, mournful roar.
As soon as the roar sounded, hundreds of steel-boned lions around immediately rushed towards Fang Yu at the fastest speed!
"Boring."
Fang Yu stood in place, his true qi erupting suddenly!
The overwhelming might surged forth, creating colossal waves that rippled outwards in every direction!
"Boom..."
This group of steel-boned lions, whose bones were harder than steel, were instantly swept away by the wave of energy, their bodies shattering into pieces!at, how will the Hai Clan Dynasty respond Whether it's a head-on resistance, evading conflict, or transferring hatred and frantically swarming the surface to slaughter humans... none of these options...
