Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue knew that in the depths of this ancient mine full of unknowns and dangers, every battle was a test for himself, and every breakthrough brought him one step closer to his goal. At this moment, although he had successfully eliminated those ghostly figures, he did not dare to slack off, because what was waiting for him ahead was still heavy fog and endless challenges.

He took a short break, adjusted his disordered breath, and continued to explore the hall. His eyes fell on the runes that flashed with blue light again, and Fang Yue's heart moved, thinking that perhaps these runes still hid more secrets about this place or the "Shadow Illusionary Yuan Jue".

So, he walked slowly along the wall, carefully examining each rune, trying to find more clues. When he walked to the other side of the hall, he found that the arrangement of runes was slightly different from that of other places. The runes here seemed to form a small array pattern.

Fang Yue squatted down and looked closely. With his previous research on formations and his keen perception, he realized that this formation seemed to be related to the power of space. He was secretly happy. If he could break this formation, he might be able to open a passage to a deeper place, or obtain some precious treasures to help him explore the source of darkness.

He began to try to follow his understanding of the formation, carefully injecting a trace of vitality into the formation and observing its reaction. At first, the formation did not move, but Fang Yue was not discouraged. He calmed down and carefully recalled the methods of breaking similar formations that he had seen in ancient books, and adjusted the method and strength of injecting vitality again.

After many attempts, suddenly, a faint space ripple spread from the center of the formation, and then the formation glowed brightly, illuminating the entire hall in a dark blue. Fang Yue's heart trembled, knowing that he had touched the key to the formation, and he quickly stepped back, watching the changes in the formation vigilantly.

A dark vortex slowly appeared in the center of the formation, as if it was the entrance to another mysterious space. Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, after all, there might be greater dangers hidden in this unknown space, but when he thought that the source of darkness might be not far ahead, he gritted his teeth, grasped his sword tightly, and resolutely stepped into the dark vortex.

A wave of dizziness came over Fang Yue, and he felt as if he was in a chaos, his body floating uncontrollably in the void. After an unknown amount of time, the dizziness gradually disappeared, and he found himself on the ground, in a strange space.

The sky here was a deep purple-red, as if stained with blood. The ground was paved with a kind of black rock that exuded a cold luster. From time to time, some strange lights flashed on the rocks, as if telling the mysterious past of this space.

Fang Yue looked around and found an ancient tower not far away. The tower was soaring into the sky, exuding a vicissitudes and mysterious atmosphere. He was curious and decided to go to the tower to find out.

On the way to the tower, Fang Yue felt that the air around him seemed to become more and more dignified, and there was a faint repressive force restraining his movements. He circulated his internal energy, trying to break through this restraint, but found that this force was extremely strong. With his current strength, he could only slightly alleviate the slowness of his movements.

After finally reaching the foot of the tower, Fang Yue looked up and saw that the door of the tower was closed. The door was engraved with various complex runes and patterns. These runes and patterns exuded an ancient and majestic atmosphere that made people dare not touch it easily.

Fang Yue reached out his hand and gently touched the door. Instantly, a powerful force came from the door, which shook him back a few steps. He steadied himself and knew that in order to enter the tower, he had to first unlock the secret of the rune on the door.

So, he began to study the runes on the door carefully. He found that these runes were similar to those he had seen in the hall before, but more complex and profound. Relying on his own understanding and experience in studying runes, Fang Yue tried to interpret these runes in different ways.

After much contemplation and many attempts, he finally discovered the pattern of the runes. According to this pattern, Fang Yue slowly circulated the energy in his body and injected it into the runes on the door in a specific order.

As the last bit of vitality was injected, the door slowly opened with a dull creaking sound. A stale breath came to his face. Fang Yue frowned slightly, gripped his sword tightly, and walked into the tower carefully.

The interior of the tower was very dark, with only a few oil lamps emitting faint light swaying on the wall, barely illuminating a small area around. Fang Yue walked slowly up the stairs, and with every step he took, he could hear the creaking of the wooden boards under his feet, which seemed particularly loud in this silent tower.

When he reached the second floor, Fang Yue heard a low murmur, as if someone was whispering something in his ear, but he couldn't hear the specific content. His heart tightened, he stopped, listened attentively, and at the same time vigilantly observed the movements around him.

Suddenly, several ghost-like monsters jumped out from the darkness, emitting a faint glow all over their bodies, with strange red light flashing in their eyes. They pounced towards Fang Yue with their fangs and claws bared.

Fang Yue reacted quickly, and used the concealment technique in "Phantom Shadow" to hide himself in the shadows, trying to avoid the ghost monsters' attacks. The ghost monsters pounced on nothing, and they hovered in place for a while, seeming a little confused, and then began to search for Fang Yue's traces.

Fang Yue seized the opportunity and flashed out from the shadows like lightning. The long sword in his hand, wrapped in the vigorous vitality of the shadow power, stabbed fiercely at one of the ghost monsters. The speed of this sword was extremely fast, bringing a whistling sound, and a strange light flashed on the sword.

The ghost monster was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the sword. It let out a shrill scream and disappeared instantly. Seeing this, the other ghost monsters rushed towards Fang Yue one after another. Their attacks became more frantic, as if they were enraged.

Fang Yue was not afraid at all. He used the concealment and attacking skills of "Phantom Shadow" to move freely among the ghost monsters. He kept swinging the sword in his hand. Each sword was filled with the faint light of shadow power and accurately stabbed the ghost monsters' vital parts.

After a fierce battle, Fang Yue finally wiped out all the ghost monsters. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to walk up the stairs.

As the floors rose, Fang felt the pressure around him getting stronger and stronger, and the energy fluctuations in the air became stronger and stronger. When he reached the fifth floor, the scene in front of him made him gasp.

There was a huge crystal ball in the center of the lobby on the fifth floor. It seemed that a powerful force was sealed inside the crystal ball. The force was constantly surging inside the crystal ball, emitting a dazzling light. The crystal ball was surrounded by circles of complex rune chains, which seemed to be restraining the power inside the crystal ball to prevent it from leaking out.

As Fang Yue approached the crystal ball, he could feel the powerful force constantly attacking his mind, trying to make him lose his mind. He quickly circulated his internal energy to form a protective film on his body surface to resist the invasion of this force.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from the crystal ball: "Outsider, how dare you break in here and disturb my deep sleep. You know, the power sealed in this crystal ball is part of the source of darkness. If you want to obtain it, you must pass my test."

Fang Yue was shocked. He had never expected that the crystal ball contained a power related to the source of darkness. He clenched his sword and said loudly, "I don't care what the test is. In order to find the source of darkness, I am willing to accept any challenge."

"Okay, if that's the case, let's start." The voice sounded again.

Then, the rune chains around the crystal ball began to loosen slowly, and the power within the crystal ball began to surge more and more uncontrollably.

Suddenly, black lightning surged out from the crystal ball and pounced towards Fang Yue like a snake.

Fang Yue did not dare to be negligent at all. He performed a set of defensive sword techniques, and the long sword in his hand danced quickly, forming a sword curtain in front of him.

At the same time, he mobilized the shadow power in his body and integrated it into the sword curtain to enhance the sword curtain's defensive capabilities.

The black lightning struck the sword curtain, making a crackling sound and splashing pieces of black light fragments.

Although the sword curtain temporarily blocked the attack of the black lightning, Fang Yue could also feel that this force was extremely powerful and his vitality was constantly being consumed. He knew that he could not continue to passively defend like this, and he had to take the initiative to break the current deadlock.

So, Fang Yue seized the opportunity, and in the gap between a black lightning attack, he flashed and rushed out from behind the sword curtain like a ghost.

The long sword in his hand, carrying a powerful energy fused with the power of shadow, walked towards the crystal ball, trying to find the source of the black lightning and destroy it.

When he approached the crystal ball, he found several nodes on the surface of the crystal ball that were flashing with strange light. These nodes seemed to be the key to controlling the black lightning.

Fang Yue's mind moved, he seized the opportunity, gathered all the remaining energy in his body onto the sword, and at the same time mobilized the surrounding shadow power to merge with it, and performed a powerful sword skill from the "Shadow Fantasy Yuan Jue" - "Shadow Split Sky Slash".

I saw a ray of sword energy with a faint glow slashing towards the nodes on the surface of the crystal ball like a rainbow piercing the sun. Wherever the sword energy passed, the space seemed to be torn into black cracks.

The nodes on the surface of the crystal ball were attacked, emitting a dazzling light, and the attack of the black lightning also weakened a little.

Fang Yue did not relax at all. He took advantage of the momentum and continued to display a set of fierce sword skills, constantly attacking the nodes on the surface of the crystal ball.

Under his continuous attacks, cracks began to appear at the nodes on the surface of the crystal ball and gradually spread.

As the nodes were damaged, the power in the crystal ball became increasingly difficult to control and began to leak out crazily.

Fang Yue felt a powerful force coming towards him, he quickly took a few steps back and at the same time used the concealment technique from "Shadow Illusion Art" to hide his body in the shadows to avoid the impact of this powerful force.

In the shadows, Fang Yue watched the changes in the crystal ball closely.

As the power in the crystal ball continued to leak out, cracks began to appear in the crystal ball itself, and they became larger and larger.

Finally, with a dazzling light and a huge roar, the crystal ball was completely shattered, and the power related to the source of darkness sealed inside was released.

Fang Yue flashed out from the shadows, and he could feel the power gathering towards him.

He quickly circulated the vital energy in his body, trying to guide this power into his own body, using this power to increase his strength so that he could better explore the source of darkness.

However, this force was extremely powerful and unruly, and Fang Yue encountered great difficulties in guiding it to merge into his body.

He only felt the blood and energy in his body surging up, and his meridians seemed to be bursting, causing him unbearable pain.

But Fang Yue did not give up. He gritted his teeth and relied on his strong will and skillful use of the "Shadow Illusion Yuan Jue" to constantly adjust the way his Yuan Qi circulated, trying to tame this power.

After a lot of hard work, finally, the power was gradually tamed by Fang Yue and began to slowly merge into his body.

As this power was integrated, Fang Yue felt that his strength was constantly improving and his body became more resilient.

He stood up, his eyes full of determination.

Although he had just experienced a difficult challenge, he knew that he was one step closer to the source of darkness.

Fang Yue adjusted his breath and continued walking towards the higher floors of the tower.

When he reached the eighth floor, he could faintly hear a low conversation.

His heart trembled, he slowed down his pace, and approached the source of the sound cautiously.

At the door of a room, Fang Yue stopped and peeked inside through the crack in the door.

There were two figures in the room, one was a mysterious man in a black robe, and the other was a powerful demon with a weird appearance.

The mysterious man in black robe said slowly: "We must ensure that this plan is foolproof. Use the power of the source of darkness to open the channel connecting the human and demon worlds, and then release the evil power in it to plunge the two worlds into chaos. By then, we can reap the benefits and control the entire situation."

The powerful demon clan laughed sharply: "Haha, this plan is really brilliant. Those stupid humans and demon clans, they are the only protagonists in this world, but they don't know that they are about to face a catastrophe."

Fang Yue was shocked. He didn't expect to hear such a huge conspiracy against both humans and demons here.

He knew very well that this matter was of great importance. If they were allowed to carry out their plan, both the human and demon worlds would be devastated.

Fang Yue knew very well that he could not act rashly at this moment, so as not to alert the two conspirators and allow them to be prepared in advance.

He suppressed his anger and quietly left through the crack of the door, his footsteps so light that not a single sound was made. (End of this chapter)
