Chapter 1078: Passing The Challenge

The figure in green turned around and complimented, “I’m rather surprised you could make it here. Your aptitude, comprehension, combat strength, and experience is a rarity even within the ‘Mount Mengyan’ Holy Land!”

“Spirit of the tower, you’ve finally appeared!” Fang Yuan curled his lips.

This immortal puppet was naturally more powerful than Gold Ingot and could exert power at the Immortal level!

The artifact spirit of this tower was possessing this puppet.

Someone at the Golden Pill stage managed to break through the eighteenth level. If the Holy Land still existed, even Grand Unity Immortals would be alarmed.

It’s a pity it’s only an incarnation of the artifact spirit!

Fang Yuan licked his lips and did not attack rashly.

“This nineteenth level was created specifically to stop cultivators below the Immortal level. You have absolute talent to be able to reach here, and you can become a core disciple of a Grand Unity Immortal...” This artifact spirit had its limitations and explained according to the rules set in the beginning. “Unfortunately... the powerful Mount Mengyan Holy Land was eventually destroyed in the chaos of the otherworld demons...”

“Wait!” Fang Yuan waved his hand. “Don’t they say that a Holy Land has the protection of a Grand Unity Almighty and isn’t afraid of otherworldly demons?”

“That’s for normal Demonic Tribulations. Can you imagine a Godfiend that was born out of chaos? Mount Mengyan ranked third among the Holy Lands all those years ago. It had even killed several Primordial Godfiends! Were it not for us being unlucky in a battle with a Chaos Godfiend, with both sides suffering heavy damage, how could Mount Mengyan have been destroyed?” The green-clothed puppet’s voice was a bit sad.

“Chaos Godfiend?”

“These Godfiends innately have very terrifying power. One breath can destroy Immortals... Even the weaker Primordial Godfiends are comparable to Grand Unity Immortals!” the artifact spirit said slowly.

“I see!” Fang Yuan nodded. “That’s quite terrifying!”

He finally had some understanding of the levels of the otherworldly demons.

An ordinary otherworldly demon was roughly equivalent to an Immortal; a Primordial Godfiend was comparable to a Grand Unity Immortal; a Chaos Godfiend was beyond the Grand Unity Immortal realm!

“No wonder everyone is so afraid of otherworldly demons. After an ordinary otherworldly demon matures a bit, is it similar to an Immortal?”

Fang Yuan completely understood now. “That demon suppressed underneath the Holy Mountain is most likely a Primordial Godfiend? It probably isn’t a Chaos Godfiend.”

“Holy Lands aren’t afraid of normal demon disasters, but that was a large disaster that occurs once every ten thousand years! The patriarch of my Mount Mengyan had exceedingly high cultivation and managed to kill the Chaos Godfiend. But unfortunately... he was seriously injured and passed away soon after! If not, my Holy Land would have never declined!”

The artifact spirit in green did not seem to mind that it was leaking some great secret. “Do you know why I’m telling you so much?”

“No...” Fang Yuan shook his head honestly.

“This Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower was originally a primordial treasure refined by the Mount Mengyan Patriarch! It was a place specially used to select disciples. After passing the eighteenth level, you can become a core disciple of my Holy Land!

“Since you’re part of my Holy Land, you can know some of these secrets... Human, I know you’ve been searching for my main body, but it’s useless. How could a primordial treasure be so easily refined? I might have no master now, but you won’t be able to control me completely! You should be satisfied with becoming a core disciple!”

“Really?” Fang Yuan was unmoved. “Cultivation is inherently heaven-defying. Why not continue trying?”

“Haha... That’s logical!” The artifact spirit laughed. “However, under my manipulation, this immortal puppet can exert ten percent of an Immortal’s might. You will definitely lose... But I can tell you a secret. There are no rewards for the nineteenth level since the patriarch had never imagined that anyone below the Immortal realm could pass the level I guard. Disappointed?”

So the nineteenth level was designed this way. In other words, this is where the loophole in the rules is! Fang Yuan’s eyes sparkled, and he went forward.

“Stop!” The artifact spirit extended its left hand and pushed lightly.

Rumble!

The invisible air seemed to turn into a steel wall.

Not only that, but an imposing manner belonging to Immortals alone surged forward.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators would have knelt under this aura.

Transcending the tribulation to become Immortal!

In this world, the gap between an Immortal and a mortal was a heavenly chasm. It was the sublimation of the intrinsic quality of life itself!

Therefore, even the weakest Immortal could overpower anyone at the Nascent Soul stage, let alone Fang Yuan who was at Primordial Core.

“This immortal puppet is so strong!” Fang Yuan had faced many Immortals before and suddenly realized something. “The feeling this immortal puppet gives me is much more dangerous than Kun Lunzi and Immortal Myriad Soul. It’s top class even within the Immortal level... Kill!”

He could only move without hesitation, even though this imposing oppression put him at an absolute disadvantage.

He chopped with his saber, as if trying to split heaven and earth in half.

Chichi!

Hundreds of Saber Qi several meters long emerged and went for the target. Saber light appeared all around the green-clothed puppet. They penetrated its protection and violently went for the kill!

The Nomological Laws of Saber! Void Refraction! Void Penetration! Of course, there was also the fifth star of the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique!

This move was definitely Fang Yuan’s pinnacle!

“Hmm?” The green-clothed puppet was a little surprised. Its hands drew a circle like a Taiji. “Mirror!”

A huge mirror suddenly appeared, clearly reflecting the Saber Qi within.

Nine saber lights immediately appeared and collided with the incoming saber light. Space trembled, and they slowly disappeared without a trace.

“I still underestimated you. That attack was enough to rival some weaker Immortals! Impossible... This is impossible... The difference between mortal and Immortal is a Heavenly Dao! Even my master couldn’t have done this when he was at the Golden Core stage!”

Although the puppet blocked the attack, it was in a weird state.

“Haha... To cultivate is to go against heaven! What Heavenly Dao?!”

Fang Yuan laughed, but his heart was gloomy. This immortal puppet not only had Immortal-level combat power, but even the nomological laws it had comprehended were very strange.

Otherwise, given his current strength, even if he were to go against Immortal Myriad Soul, he would not falter one bit.

“Following heaven? Defying heaven?” The puppet had an extremely human-like expression of confusion.

“Go!” Fang Yuan took this opportunity to plunge into the void, ready to enter the passage to the twentieth level.

How fast was teleportation?

He reached the entrance within merely a thought. Even the puppet could not react in time!

Ping!

But the next moment, white radiance appeared from within the passage, immediately ‘bouncing’ him away. Not only that, but the Nomological Laws of Space in it were obviously one level higher, making it difficult for Fang Yuan’s teleportation to be effective.

“Tsk!” Fang Yuan frowned and disappeared.

The puppet arrived at the entrance of the passage in the next instant. “Is this the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws? They’re really mysterious! Unfortunately... the entrance to the twentieth level has a special setting. Not only is the space strengthened within it, but it’s impossible to go through without defeating me.”

This is against the rules... Fang Yuan was dumbfounded in the void.

He was currently at a state where he had high attack power but low defense, so he did not dare to appear carelessly in front of the puppet.

But without first defeating the opponent, he could not get into the passage.

The puppet would not be able to hurt him given his achievements in the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws, and they were now in a stalemate.

“What for? Why do you want to go to the twentieth level?” The puppet sighed. “The trial there is ten times stronger than mine. Only Immortal geniuses have the hope of overcoming it. You have no chance at all!”

“Really?” Fang Yuan reappeared in the next moment.

“That’s right. Admit defeat. I’ll give you generous rewards and the identity as a core disciple of Mount Mengyan... What a pity that Master is no longer around. He would have certainly liked you and taken you in as a direct disciple.” The puppet sighed.

“Sorry, but I don’t have any thoughts about admitting defeat!”

Fang Yuan looked at the saber in his hand.

Roar Roar!

The thousand-meter long shadow of a dragon appeared.

It had a red snake body and a human head with only one eye. Light and darkness followed the blinking of its eye.

The Torch Dragon!

As soon as it appeared, even the void could feel it and started trembling slightly.

“Have a taste of my saber!”

Fang Yuan slashed, and white light shot out.

This light flew to the front of the puppet. Its speed increased more than ten times!

Time ultimate technique—Accelerate!

“Mirror·Reflect!” The puppet smiled as a mirror appeared in front of it.

The exact same white light was within it.

Crack!

But the moment the white light emerged, numerous spiderweb-like cracks started appearing on the originally smooth mirror surface.

“The power of your nomological laws might be strange, but it can’t defeat my time and Illusion Realm nomological laws. How could you imitate them completely? It must have overloaded now!”

Fang Yuan roared with laughter through his spiritual will.

“You’re belittling the power of an Immortal!”

The puppet’s expression remained unchanged as Immortal Qi surged. The mirror stopped cracking, and the white light flew out.

Two white lights collided in the air and instantly became nothingness.

“Now! Torch Dragon Magical Power—Time Flying Blade!”

Fang Yuan seized this opportunity to have a green ball of light turn into a flying blade and released it!

Bang!

The ray of light landed on the mirror. Its cracks expanded before it finally exploded into powder.

The green Time Flying Blade lodged itself into the puppet’s throat and severed its head!

“Impossible!” It still sounded perplexed as its head fell off.

“Success!” Fang Yuan clenched his fists tightly. “Luckily, I’ve been keeping the power of time as my trump card! It really did the trick!”
