Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

After an unknown amount of time, he fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp pain came, causing him to groan. He struggled to get up and found himself in an even more gloomy cave.

The cave was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the ground was littered with white bones. The walls were engraved with strange runes, flashing a faint red light, as if it was the entrance to hell.

"Where...is this place?" Lu Yuan muttered to himself, with an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and a rustling sound came from deep in the cave. Lu Yuan clenched his fists vigilantly. Although his true energy could not be used, the strange energy in his body still existed.

"Who's there?" Lu Yuan shouted sternly.

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and a huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was a spider that was even bigger than the giant scorpion before, with a pitch-black body and eight scarlet eyes flashing with greed.

"Hiss..." The giant spider let out a hiss, and its sharp legs rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

Lu Yuan's heart sank. The aura of this giant spider was several times stronger than the giant scorpion before. It might be difficult to deal with.

"Boy, you are very good. You can actually pass the first level of the trial." A cold voice suddenly sounded in the cave.

Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure in a black robe slowly walking out of the shadows. The black robe covered his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that exuded a chilling chill.

"Who are you?" Lu Yuan asked.

"I am the guardian of this trial ground." The man in black robe said, "I am very satisfied with your performance, but the next test will be even more cruel."

"A test?" Lu Yuan sneered, "I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

"You will see." After the man in black robe said this, his figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

"Hiss..." The giant spider hissed again and pounced towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not dare to be careless. He mobilized the strange energy in his body and rushed towards the giant spider.

A fierce battle began. The giant spider's legs were extremely sharp, and every attack was accompanied by a sharp gust of wind. Although Lu Yuan was powerful, he was not as fast as the giant spider, and was almost stabbed by the spider's legs several times.

"Damn it!" Lu Yuan cursed inwardly. He found that although this strange energy was powerful, it was difficult to sustain and was consumed very quickly.

The giant spider seemed to have noticed this and attacked even more fiercely. Lu Yuan gradually felt powerless and had several more wounds on his body.

"This won't work." Lu Yuan was anxious. He had to find a solution as soon as possible.

He suddenly remembered what Ku Gu said, "The Immortal Lotus has given you great power, but you haven't discovered it yet."

"The power of the fairy lotus..." Lu Yuan murmured to himself. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body.

He discovered that in addition to the violent energy, there was a more refined and gentle power hidden in his body. This power was like a trickle of water, nourishing his body and repairing his injuries.

"Is this the power of the fairy lotus?" Lu Yuan was delighted. He tried to guide this power and integrate it into the violent energy.

The miracle happened!
The two energies merged together to form a stronger and more stable force. Lu Yuan felt that his strength increased several times in an instant, and his speed became more agile.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in them.

"Roar!" The giant spider pounced again, and its sharp legs pierced his chest.

Lu Yuan didn't dodge or evade, and punched out.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the giant spider's legs were broken by his punch, and green blood gushed out.

The giant spider let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground. Lu Yuan stood beside the giant spider's body, panting, his heart filled with shock. He finally mastered the power of the fairy lotus!

Just then, a sinister laugh came from deep within the cave.

“Hahaha… kid, you really didn’t let me down.” The black-robed man appeared again, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Next, is the real test.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the walls of the cave suddenly began to vibrate, and countless runes lit up, emitting a dazzling light.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuan was shocked, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Suddenly, the ground cracked and a huge black hole appeared under Lu Yuan's feet.

"No..." Lu Yuan exclaimed, and fell into the black hole...

What is waiting for him in the depths of the black hole?
The black hole swallowed up Lu Yuan, and endless darkness enveloped him. The feeling of weightlessness as he fell made his stomach churn, as if it was about to be torn apart. He desperately mobilized the power of the fairy lotus in his body, trying to stabilize his body, but found that this power was like a drop in the ocean in this strange black hole, and had no effect.

"Damn it!" Lu Yuan cursed inwardly. Was he going to die in such an unclear way? He was unwilling to accept this. He had not yet figured out his life experience, had not yet found out the truth about his parents' disappearance, and had not yet completed the instructions of the dried bones.

Just when he was almost in despair, the downward trend suddenly stopped. He felt as if he was being held up by an invisible hand and slowly fell to the ground.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Lu Yuan fell heavily to the ground, grimacing in pain. He struggled to get up and looked around.

This is a vast space. In the dim light, you can see countless huge stone pillars standing around, like an ancient forest. The air is filled with a nauseating smell of decay.

"What is this place?" Lu Yuan was puzzled. He tried to mobilize the power of the fairy lotus and found that this place could be used normally.

"Boy, welcome to my territory." A gloomy voice came from all directions, making people shudder.

Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the voice, but couldn't see anyone.

"Playing tricks!" Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "Come out if you have the guts!"

“Hehehe…” The sinister laughter sounded again, “You are very courageous. I like it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow slowly walked out from behind a stone pillar.

It was the man in black robe.

"Who are you?" Lu Yuan asked, his tone full of vigilance.

"I am the guardian of this trial ground and also your guide." The man in black robe said, his voice hoarse, like the friction of metal. "You have passed the first test. Next, there are more difficult challenges waiting for you."

"Challenge?" Lu Yuan sneered, "Am I afraid of you?"

“Haha…” The man in black robe chuckled, “You will soon find out whether I have the qualifications to scare you.”

He raised his right hand and waved it gently.

The surrounding stone pillars suddenly began to shake, and the ground began to tremble violently.

"Rumble..."

There was a loud noise, the ground cracked, and countless monsters crawled out of the cracks. (End of this chapter)
