Fang Yue had beads of sweat on his forehead. His eyes were fixed on the flashing pattern of the stone platform, and his brain was running rapidly.
He found that these pictures showed that a specific sequence was required to activate the mechanism, which seemed to be related to some ancient formation.
He tried to recall information similar to the formations he had seen throughout the palace. Suddenly, he remembered some gestures and positions he had seen on the murals.
The characters in those murals pose in unique poses surrounding the source of mysterious power. Is this the key to activating the mechanism?
Fang Yue quickly moved around the stone platform according to the postures in his memory. Each of his movements accurately corresponded to the information suggested by the flashing patterns.
As his last gesture was completed, a dull roar came from the end of the stone bridge, and the mechanism began to activate.
However, at this moment, a huge crack finally appeared in the light curtain under the fierce attack of the demon clan.
A trace of excitement flashed in the Lord's eyes. He roared angrily and concentrated all his strength to strike at the crack in the light curtain. The light curtain shattered instantly.
The Lord and the demon clan rushed towards Fang Yue, but Fang Yue did not hesitate at all. He ran towards the opened passage at the end of the stone bridge.
The passage was filled with mysterious light, and ancient runes flashed on the walls, as if guiding his direction.
After entering the passage, Fang Yue found that the space here seemed to be constantly changing. Sometimes it was so narrow that only one person could pass through, and sometimes it was as spacious as a palace hall.
On one side of the passage, he found some sparkling gems, which seemed to be arranged in a certain pattern.
He stopped and looked closely at the gems and found that their color and luster were similar to the crystals he had seen in the cave before.
Fang Yue speculated that these gems may be key clues to solve the passage puzzle or lead to deeper depths.
While he was studying the gems, the Lord and the demon tribe also chased into the passage.
Seeing Fang Yue stop, the Lord sneered: "Fang Yue, you have nowhere to escape." As he said that, he directed the demon clan to outflank Fang Yue.
Fang Yue ignored the Lord's provocation, and his attention was completely focused on the gem.
He discovered that the gem had some tiny lines that combined to form a pattern he had never seen before.
He tried to touch the gems with his hands. When his fingers touched one of the gems, a ray of light shot out from the gem and hit the wall on the other side of the passage.
A circular depression appeared on the wall, with some familiar symbols carved on the edge of the depression.
Fang Yue's heart moved, and he took out some small objects with symbols that he had collected during the previous exploration. These small objects were found in different places. He always felt that they had special uses.
He put the small objects into the depression according to the corresponding relationship of the symbols. In an instant, the passage glowed brightly, and the wall began to move, revealing a new road.
This road is paved with luminous stone slabs. On the stone slabs are engraved pictures of the harmonious coexistence of humans and monsters. Every stone slab exudes a warm atmosphere.
Fang Yue stepped onto the stone road and walked towards the end of the road.
The Lord and the Monster Race temporarily stopped under the impact of the light, but they quickly caught up again.
Fang Yue knew that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, and he could not let the Lord destroy this opportunity to resolve the hatred between the two races.
At the end of the road is a huge rotunda hall. In the center of the hall is a crystal ball that exudes soft light. There seem to be two figures in the crystal ball, one is a human race and the other is a demon race. They hold Holding hands, surrounded by light representing peace and strength.
Fang Yue walked into the hall, and he could feel that the power here was closely connected with the origins of the two races.
He walked towards the crystal ball, trying to figure out its secrets.
At this time, the Lord and the demon clan also rushed into the hall. The Lord looked at the crystal ball, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up by anger: "Fang Yue, No matter what is here, you will die today.”
"Haha, just come here!"
Fang Yue sneered, the weapon in his hand glowed brightly, reflecting the soft light of the surrounding crystal balls. His eyes were firm and he stared at the Lord without fear.
The Lord shouted angrily and took the lead in attacking. With a wave of his hands, the black magic power swept towards Fang Yue like a raging wave, and the air along the way was distorted by this force.
"Go to hell!" the Lord roared.
Fang Yue flashed and quickly avoided this wave of attacks. As he moved, he shouted: "Lord, you are so blind and controlled by hatred, it is really sad!"
The Lord was irritated by Fang Yue's words, and the anger in his eyes was even worse: "What do you know? This world cannot tolerate two races. There can only be one human race and one demon race!"
He launched another attack, This time, the magic power condensed into several giant black pythons, and they rushed towards Fang Yue with their mouths wide open.
Fang Yue nimbly shuttled between the giant pythons, wielding the weapon in his hand to create arcs of silver light, cutting into pieces the approaching black giant python.
"In that case, there is no need to talk nonsense. Today we will decide the winner between you and me!"
After Fang Yue finished speaking, he rushed towards the Lord like lightning. , the weapon in his hand carries an indomitable momentum.
Seeing this, the Lord sneered, quickly formed seals with his hands, and black magic energy gathered in front of him, forming a huge shield.
Fang Yue's attack hit the shield hard, causing a burst of dazzling light and energy fluctuations.
The surrounding monsters were driven back by the impact of this force, and the air in the hall seemed to be ignited.
"Fang Yue, do you think you can break through my defense? You are too naive." The Lord mocked.
Fang Yue didn't respond. He had a sharp look in his eyes, and the power in his body was continuously injected into the weapon.
The weapon shined even brighter, and some ancient runes began to flicker.
These runes seemed to resonate with the mysterious power in the hall, and Fang Yue felt that his power was growing.
He launched another attack, this time with a desperate momentum.
The light of the runes on the weapon intertwined with the light of the crystal ball, turning into a brilliant blade of light, slashing towards the Lord's shield.
The Lord felt this powerful force, his face changed slightly, he increased his magic output and tried his best to maintain the shield.
The light blade collided with the shield, making a deafening roar, and the entire hall trembled violently.
Some monsters began to shout worriedly: "Lord!"
During the fierce collision, Fang Yue found a slight crack in the shield of the Lord.
He seized this opportunity and injected more power into the attack, trying to break through in one fell swoop.
The Lord also noticed the strangeness of the shield. He was shocked. He did not expect that Fang Yue could explode with such a powerful force.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to cast forbidden spells to strengthen the shield.
At this moment, the light of the crystal ball suddenly became brighter, and a soft power surged out and enveloped Fang Yue's weapon.
Fang Yue felt that his strength had increased again. He shouted loudly, and the light blade shook violently, breaking through the Lord's shield and slashing towards the Lord. The Lord was unable to dodge and was scratched by the light blade, and black magic power overflowed from the wound.
He looked at Fang Yue angrily: "You can actually hurt me, it's unforgivable!"
With that said, he ignored his injuries and rushed towards Fang Yue, preparing to start a close fight with Fang Yue.
Fang Yue was more prepared, and he knew that this close combat would be even more cruel.
He held the weapon tightly, his eyes full of vigilance. He knew that the Lord's ability in close combat should not be underestimated.
The Lord rushed towards Fang Yue like a black whirlwind, his claws flashed with black magic power, and every ray of magic power seemed to be able to tear apart the space.
Fang Yue dodged and cleverly avoided the Lord's first round of attacks. At the same time, he swung the weapon in his hand towards the Lord's back.
The Lord seemed to have expected it. His tail swept towards Fang Yue like a steel whip. Fang Yue hurriedly blocked with his weapon. The collision between the two made a crisp sound, and the splashing sparks illuminated the space around them.
"Fang Yue, suffer death!"
The Lord roared angrily, spraying a black poisonous mist from his mouth.
Fang Yue held his breath and quickly retreated, but part of the poisonous mist still stained his clothes and began to corrode.
Fang Yue frowned. He knew that he could not delay it any longer and had to fight quickly.
He mobilized all the power in his body, and a layer of silver light appeared around his body. This light gradually condensed into substance, forming a pair of silver armor.
Ancient runes also appeared on the armor, echoing the runes on the crystal ball and his weapons, protecting him from the erosion of the poisonous mist.
The Lord was shocked when he saw Fang Yue's changes, but his offensive did not weaken.
He used a set of fierce claw techniques, and each strike carried the power of destroying the world and attacking Fang Yue's vital points.
Fang Yue responded calmly under this storm-like attack. His movements were like flowing water, and the weapon in his hand accurately blocked every attack of the Lord.
In a fierce collision, Fang Yue saw the opportunity correctly. He suddenly inserted the weapon into the ground, and a powerful force surged out from the ground, forming stone pillars and rushing towards the Lord.
The Lord was trapped by a stone pillar and his movements were slow.
Fang Yue seized this opportunity, jumped up high, and drew a perfect arc in the air with his weapon, heading towards the Lord's head.
The Lord felt the threat of death. He struggled wildly, but the restraints of the stone pillars prevented him from evading.
"No!" The Lord roared in despair.
Fang Yue's weapon slashed down with endless power, directly cutting off the Lord's head.
The Lord's body slowly dissipated and turned into a black smoke.
Fang Yue stood there, breathing heavily. His eyes swept across the demon clan present, with majesty flashing in his eyes.
The monsters showed fear and awe, and for a moment, there was silence in the hall.
Fang Yue spoke slowly: "The Lord is dead. If any of you want to avenge him, just come forward!"
There was deathly silence in the hall. The monsters looked at each other, but no one dared to take a step forward.
They looked at Fang Yue with even more awe in their eyes. Their previous blind following of the Lord began to waver at this moment.
After a long time, a red-trained demon king clenched his fists and took a step forward. There was both anger and hesitation in his eyes: "Fang Yue, you killed the Lord, this account We can’t just let it go.”
Before the voice could finish, a stream of light shot out from Fang Yue’s hand.
This stream of light was extremely fast and arrived in front of the Scarlet Demon King in the blink of an eye.
The Chilian Demon King was shocked and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it. The stream of light flew past his cheek, leaving a deep mark on the wall behind him.
"Huh, if you want to avenge the Lord, then come. But don't think that I will show mercy. The Lord's fate is a lesson for you."
Fang Yue is cold. He said with undoubted majesty in his eyes.
The demon king stabilized his figure, and the hesitation in his eyes became even worse: "Fang Yue, although you are powerful, our demon clan is not easy to mess with. If you kill the lord, someone will come to you for the debt. Forget it."
Fang Yue looked at the Demon King with no fear in his eyes, but with a hint of disdain:
"Huh, I'm always with you. But if you insist on revenge, you will only let more monsters lose their lives in vain. Just like the Lord, they are blinded by hatred and cannot see the truth."
Demon King Gritting his teeth, there was a trace of struggle in his eyes, but he finally put down his fist and snorted: "Let's go!"
With that said, he led the demon clan slowly out of the hall.
Fang Yue looked at the demon clan’s leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
He knows that this conflict is only temporarily subsided, and the demon clan will not give up easily, but at least now, he has time to explore this mysterious hall and find the secret of the origin of the two clans.
Fang Yue turned around and once again cast his gaze on the crystal ball that exuded soft light in the center of the hall.
As he approached the crystal ball, he could clearly feel the ancient and mysterious power contained in it, as if it was telling him stories that had been dusted by time.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the crystal ball. In an instant, the light flowed in the crystal ball, and pictures appeared in the ball like a slide.
In the picture, humans and demons work together on a peaceful land. They work together to build houses and cultivate farmland, without any suspicion or hatred between each other.
In the sky, demons with beautiful wings played with human children, and laughter echoed between heaven and earth.
However, the picture gradually becomes darker, and a black fog begins to spread around the edges of the picture.
In the fog, some figures appeared vaguely. Their figures were blurry and exuded an evil aura.
These figures shuttle between the human race and the demon race, seeming to be casting some kind of spell to confuse people's hearts.
Fang Yue frowned. He tried to find more details from these pictures and identify the source of these evil figures.
Fang Yue walked slowly around the crystal ball, thinking about the connection between these pictures and the hatred between the two races.
Suddenly, he found some small words and patterns engraved on the base of the crystal ball.
He squatted down and looked at it carefully.
These words were old and obscure, a writing system he had never seen before, but the patterns were somewhat familiar, and seemed to have some similarity with the gemstone patterns he had seen in the passage before.
Fang Yue carefully observed the pattern on the base of the crystal ball, thinking secretly in his heart.
He tried to search for clues similar to these patterns in his memory, recalling the lines on the gems in the passage. Those lines seemed to be a key to unlocking the secrets here. (End of chapter)
