Chapter 331 The former king (please subscribe with monthly tickets)
Looking at the stone door in front of him, Wang Xuan stretched out his right hand, and two metal tentacles extended over to resist the stone door.
With a gentle push, the stone door was slowly pushed open.
At the same moment, in the east of the fourth layer of the world, surrounded by mountains, is the highest point of the Nine-Dian Giant City.
Among the nine palaces, the highest ones are the temple and the king's palace among the nine palaces. Behind the two palaces is a stone cliff, 10,000 meters above the sea, surrounded by clouds and mist.
Behind the stone cliff, there is a white palace among the mountains. These palaces do not look tall and majestic, and they are not as conspicuous as the Nine Palaces, but they cover a large area. From a distance, you can see people patrolling and guarding outside.
There are also some rare and exotic animals among them, making it a bit mysterious.
At this moment, Yingtian, the master of Yan Palace, was in one of the halls that looked clean and tidy.
Ning Chuan followed him with a respectful look on his face.
Even when facing the masters of several halls, Ning Chuan has never had such an expression, but at this moment, let alone him, even Yingtian's face that originally looked majestic, the majesty is gone at this moment, and what appears is a kind of respect.
In addition to Yingtian, Long Hao from the Dragon Palace, Yue Yehua from the Yaksha Palace and Yansong from the Temple are all there.
Behind them are one or two important and loyal subordinates.
It can be said that almost all the core members of the four temples belonging to the human forces are here, except for the temple master.
In front of them, there were several white crystals placed on a special instrument. This instrument was like a large mirror. The white crystals glowed on it, were refracted by the large mirror, rose into the sky, and passed by.
Light and shadow are refracted and intertwined, showing the presence and absence of light and shadow.
The light and shadow are very blurry, and you can only vaguely see a figure moving in it. This figure is also very blurry, and you can't see clearly. You can only vaguely make out that there seem to be two wings behind the figure, and two wings on the outside of its arms.
.
Around the figure, it looks like a corridor.
If Wang Xuan were present, he would immediately recognize that the figure moving in the light and shadow is suspected to be himself.
Just when he broke through the passage, he activated the power of the ghost car, first showing the two ghost wings on his back, and then the two ghost wings on the outside of his arms.
"A few worlds apart, his condition can be revealed with just a breath. He is indeed a legendary treasure." Yingtian looked at the interweaving of light and shadow in front of him. Although the figures in the light and shadow were very blurry, he could only watch while watching.
I guessed the actions of the figure inside, but I still felt shocked.
After all, this is the fourth level of the world, and Wang Xuan can manifest it in the northern area of the first level of the world. In Yingtian's view, this is a method that only gods and ghosts can have.
On the other side of the light and shadow, three old men sat.
None of them wore armor, but rather loose cotton robes.
These three old men were about sixty or seventy years old. They seemed to be in good spirits and had serious faces.
The one sitting in the middle looks the oldest, at least seventy or eighty years old, with white hair like silver.
Even several palace masters can only stand, which shows that the status of these three old men is high, even higher than that of several palace masters.
"As expected of the person chosen by the Book of Titans, the challenge he faced when entering the North District was the same as that of Bai Xue."
The white-haired old man in the middle of the three old men had a faint smile on his face.
"I hope he won't disappoint me."
Yingtian said respectfully: "I believe Wang Xuan will not disappoint Mr. Li, but if he encounters the same situation as Bai Xue and gains the same results, I'm afraid he will not be Bai Xue's opponent in more than two months."
Having said this, there was a look of disappointment on his face.
Originally they hoped that Wang Xuan would get more opportunities and adventures than Bai Xue when he entered the first-floor north area, so that he would have a chance to defeat Bai Xue, but now it seems that the challenges he experienced in the first-floor north area were the same as Bai Xue's before.
That meant that his chances were the same as Bai Xue's, but Bai Xue had the upper hand and entered the ultimate form half a year earlier than him. So more than two months later, he would not be able to defeat Bai Xue.
You must know that Wang Xuan is entering the North District to practice at this moment, and Bai Xue is afraid that he has already entered a higher level in the Hell Tower.
layer, looking for more opportunities.
Long Hao, Yue Yehua and others had the same idea as Yingtian, and they all felt a little disappointed.
"If Bai Xue wins, then their side will be even more powerful. If I had known this, it would be better to replace the contractor with someone more confident." Yue Yehua suddenly spoke, with a somewhat cold tone in his tone.
Everyone understands what it means to replace the contractor of the Book of Titans.
The contract in the Book of Titans cannot be canceled under normal circumstances unless the contractor dies.
Ning Chuan heard this and felt a chill down his spine. He understood that Yue Yehua thought that Wang Xuan had no chance of defeating Bai Xue, and had the idea of killing Wang Xuan and letting a stronger person master the Book of Titans.
The white-haired old man known as Mr. Li glared at Yue Yehua and said, "The Book of Giant Gods chose him, regardless of victory or defeat, there is a reason..."
"Yes." Yue Yehua lowered his head, but although he agreed with Mr. Li's words on the surface, the look in his eyes meant that he disagreed, but it was difficult to contradict him in person.
Mr. Li paused for a moment, then continued: "Everyone who has grown to the ultimate form will basically enter the northern area of the first floor to take advantage of opportunities. However, the situations encountered by everyone are mostly different, and the rewards are also different.
Both Bai Xue and Wang Xuan were chosen by the Book of Titans. Needless to say, their fate must be profound and difficult for ordinary people to access. It is understandable that they encountered exactly the same situation. They can probably encounter them in the North District on this floor.
The best opportunity is when they are in this situation."
"So it is impossible for Wang Xuan to encounter a better opportunity than Bai Xue in the North District."
Yingtian and others nodded one after another, feeling that Mr. Li's analysis was right.
Another old man sitting on the left side of Mr. Li said: "When Bai Xue entered the North District that day, we also secretly observed her. She also broke through the passage and entered the King's Hall. At present, it seems that except him and Bai Xue, no one is there.
You can enter the King's Hall in the north area on the first floor. This is the most difficult challenge in the north area. Of course, if you have a deep blessing, this is also the best opportunity. What kind of achievements you can achieve next depends on your luck.
Already."
Mr. Li nodded slightly and said, "Baixue had to endure a hundred moves at that time, and he was just a little bit close to succeeding, but I don't know how many moves he could survive."
During their conversation, Wang Xuan, who was in the north area on the first floor, had already pushed open the stone door.
He didn't know that these people in the Nine Palaces Giant City had such powerful means that they could capture his image from several worlds away using some special treasure.
Although the image was very blurry and could only be guessed while looking at it, it was already horrifying. It was even stronger than his magical instincts, and he could not perceive this kind of peeping from several worlds away.
Pushing open the stone door, Wang Xuan did not walk in immediately, but looked inside.
Inside the stone gate is a very majestic hall. From a first glance, the depth of this hall is at least more than two hundred meters, the width is also more than two hundred meters, and the height above it is more than fifty meters. However, Wang Xuan has seen too many magnificent buildings these days.
And strange things, it is not unusual to see such a big hall.
At the end of this magnificent hall, there is a bronze throne, and there is a person sitting on the throne.
Wang Xuan was slightly shocked when he saw it, but soon discovered that the person sitting on the throne was a skeleton that had long since decayed.
The bronze throne is stained with rust, and you can feel the ancient atmosphere of decay from a distance.
In addition to the dead bones sitting on the bronze throne at the end, there are ten giant bronze doors around the hall.
These bronze doors are ten meters high and four meters wide. Their surfaces are covered with patina. The ten bronze doors have numbers from one to ten engraved on them from left to right.
"There must be something hidden behind these ten bronze doors, but what are the bones on the bronze throne..."
With curiosity and pondering, Wang Xuan walked in.
As soon as I stepped in, a message appeared in my mind.
"Go through the passage, complete the first step of the challenge, and enter the King's Hall. The former king has fallen. No matter how great the king is, he cannot withstand the passage of time..."
Sensing the information, Wang Xuan understood that the skeleton on the bronze throne at the end of the hall was the former king, but he fell long ago, and even his body turned into dry bones.
"Every successor who enters the King's Hall is qualified to accept the King's assessment. Only by passing the assessment will he be qualified to leave his name in the King's Book..."
Wang Xuan sensed the information that appeared in his mind and walked towards the bronze throne at the end of the hall. He already understood in his heart that this level should be to accept the assessment of the former king, but he didn't know the specific assessment method.
As he approached, light began to appear inside the skeleton sitting on the bronze throne. The light rose, and soon a light and shadow appeared inside and stepped out.
It was a blur of human-shaped light and shadow, and it could only be vaguely seen that it seemed to be a human being, wearing a crown on its head and holding a sword in its right hand. It began to step towards Wang Xuan.
"Although the king has fallen, the power left behind still has the ultimate power. Defeat the remnant soul of the king and leave his name..."
A piece of information appeared in his mind again. Wang Xuan no longer hesitated and immediately stepped forward to meet him. Four metal tentacles wrapped around his hands and legs, and he began to enter the half-beast state.
The humanoid light and shadow in front of me is the remnant soul of the former king, and the remaining power is only equivalent to the ultimate level. They are both the ultimate, so why should I be afraid?
"As long as you defeat him, can you leave your name in the Book of Kings?"
With a thought, Wang Xuan's arms turned into monster arms, his legs entered the state of monster legs, and the six ghost wings on his body spread out. Although the opponent only had a remnant soul, since he was a former king, he naturally did not dare to be careless.
In an instant, he activated the power of the monster, the ghost car and the blue crystal scales in his body, pushing all three powers to the limit. Coupled with the newly realized power of the "violent beast", he let out a low roar and stepped forward.
Enter the "violent" state.
The power of the monsters in his body suddenly doubled again, and his physical energy loss accelerated. Wang Xuan almost jumped into the air, put his hands together, and a blue light was like electricity. Six ghost wings were close to him, and they were approaching in the air.
The human-shaped light and shadow struck down.
The humanoid light and shadow stopped. The remnant soul of the king seemed to be conscious. He was looking up at Wang Xuan. The lightsaber in his right hand suddenly waved upward.
A rainbow of light burst out from the lightsaber, and it collided with Wang Xuan's giant arm of the monster that was blasted down. There was a loud bang. Wang Xuan suddenly felt the impact of the rainbow, with unimaginable terrifying power erupting from it. He
The violent state entered by gathering three kinds of power and accelerating the burning of physical energy turned out to be unbearable.
Amidst the terrifying loud noise, Wang Xuan flew backwards in the air. He felt as if his giant arms of monsters were being cut by thousands of sharp blades. The pain was heart-piercing, and the terrifying force oppressed his chest. His throat felt sweet, and he couldn't help but spurt out a stream of blood.
It flew more than a hundred meters in the air and hit the ground hard, making a loud shaking sound. Wang Xuan groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood again. He was extremely shocked, fearing that the light and shadow would strike again, and he was busy using all his strength to stick to it.
Turning over on the ground, he wanted to take out the teleportation crystal, but suddenly found that the humanoid light and shadow disappeared after a strike. The skeleton on the bronze throne in the distance was still sitting motionless on the throne. It seemed that the sword just now was like an illusion?
"what happened?"
Wang Xuan was a little surprised and confused. Fortunately, the powerful healing power of his body was taking effect. The injuries he had just suffered were healing at an alarming speed. A pair of giant arms of monsters were cut by the terrifying sword energy light rainbow in a split second. Each of them had a large number of wounds.
The wounds were deep enough to show the bones.
A message suddenly appeared in my mind.
"First challenge, failed..."
"Close to the throne and you can challenge for the second time..."
Feeling the information, Wang Xuan understood that here, he could challenge repeatedly. As long as he failed, the humanoid light and shadow would disappear automatically and would not kill them all, which meant that his life was not in real danger.
After knowing the true situation and feeling a little relieved, he first took out a bottle of healing water and drank it. After his injuries were completely recovered, he slowly stood up from the ground.
"As long as you approach the throne above, you should be able to inspire the human-shaped light and shadow for a second challenge, but is this really just the ultimate level of power? My monsters and ghost cars should have grown to the ultimate level, and they are still ten
One of the great first-generation beasts, plus blue crystal scales of unknown origin, these three powers combined, can't even block a move?"
Wang Xuannan
Believe it or not, he originally thought that his current strength should be comparable to Bai Xue's. Even if he lost, he could at least fight. However, the attack by the humanoid light and shadow just now made him doubt his life.
"Maybe this is the so-called king..."
In the end, Wang Xuan could only sigh. If the other party really belonged to the same ultimate level and exerted such power, he would have nothing to say except sighing and admiration.
At this moment, in the deepest part of the nine-hall city of the fourth-level world, in a hall, four hall masters including Yingtian, Long Hao, Yue Yehua, and three elders including Mr. Li were all paying attention to the light and shadow in the middle.
The light and shadow cannot be seen clearly, and the movement of Wang Xuan's human shadow can only be seen very vaguely.
When they saw the humanoid shadow come into contact with another even more blurry and almost indiscernible humanoid shadow, and then suddenly fly away, everyone sighed softly.
Yue Yehua couldn't help but whisper, "I can't block even one move. That's a bit far behind. The snow demon performed better than him that day. It seems there's nothing to look forward to."
Yingtian and Long Hao also had solemn expressions on their faces, unable to hide the disappointment in their eyes.
Ning Chuan, standing behind Ying Tian, sighed secretly.
He really liked Wang Xuan, but it was a pity that the Book of Titans chose him, and he was destined to walk an extremely difficult road.
Wang Xuan's performance is far beyond that of his peers, but if you want to become the Lord of the Nine Halls and truly master the Book of the Giants, it is not just that simple. You need to be better than everyone else of the same era.
.
Such a person is no longer one among ten thousand or one among hundreds of millions, but truly the only one among billions.
"This is just the beginning. Let's see. He should start his second challenge." Mr. Li, who was sitting in the center, waved his hand to signal everyone not to be anxious.
The light and shadow showed that the human figure representing Wang Xuan had stood up again and walked towards the depths of the hall.
***
Wang Xuan stood up and approached the depths of the hall again.
"No matter what, I have to try again. I was careless just now. I don't believe I can't even block a move."
Regaining his strength, Wang Xuan took a deep breath, and his physical injuries were completely recovered. This time, he entered the violent beast state in advance, accelerating the burning of the body in the hope of stimulating a more powerful monster power, and combined with the blue crystal scales and ghost car
Power.
The figure flickered, and suddenly entered the "Ghost Car Night Walk", and then activated the "Ghost Car Bloodline", the six ghost wings on the body opened together and began to decompose.
He decided to use his violent state to cooperate with Kigurashi's most powerful Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, coupled with "Kimigurashi's Night Walk", I don't believe he can't even block this humanoid light and shadow move.
One or two hundred steel feathers appeared, volleyed upwards, and instantly gathered to form a five-meter-long giant blade.
With a low roar coming from his mouth, Wang Xuan stepped into the air, raised his hands up, and grasped the handle of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The low roar turned into a long roar, accelerating the violent state stimulated by burning physical energy. In conjunction with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Wang Xuan felt
This sword has reached the limit of what he can explode, and the power of this sword is simply earth-shattering.
Almost the moment he approached the bronze throne, the skeleton sitting above him reacted again, radiance aroused in his body, the brilliance shot out, and a human-shaped light and shadow walked out of it.
The light and shadow of this human figure seemed to have no weight and could float naturally. Wang Xuan's so-called "ghost car traveling at night" was directly ignored by it. It was still the same as before, he just raised his right hand and swung a sword.
Wang Xuan's Demon Slayer: Demon Slayer's Blade shot out a divine light. When the divine light went downwards, a shrill scream sounded in the air, colliding with the sword swung out by the human-shaped light and shadow.
This time, an even more powerful force erupted. After the earth-shaking loud noise, the rainbow light of the sword energy swung up by the human-shaped light and shadow was suppressed and sank slightly, and Wang Xuan's body once again flew into the air and flew backwards.
The Kimetsu no Yaiba held tightly in his hand made a crackling sound, and a large number of spider web-like cracks immediately appeared on the surface.
This time, he flew a full seventy or eighty meters upside down. Wang Xuan's legs went weak after landing, and he suddenly realized that the human figure in front of him was approaching at the same time, and the lightsaber slashed down in the air.
It was so fast that Wang Xuan could hardly react and instinctively raised the Demon Slayer in his hand to block it.
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, which originally had a large number of spider-like cracks, instantly shattered and exploded.
He felt the pressure of terrifying power on his chest. Although the ice dragon shield automatically activated by the ice dragon suit had strong defense, it exploded instantly when faced with the pressure of the rainbow.
Wang Xuan knew something was wrong, so he fell down and tried to roll on the ground, but found that the rainbow of light suddenly disappeared automatically.
A piece of information immediately appeared in my mind.
"Second challenge, failed..."
"Close to the throne and you can challenge for the third time..."
