Hearing Yueyao's words, Xiao Fan nodded, then looked around. The passages ahead were interconnected, and he was unsure how to choose. So he naturally handed the task over to the others.
"The divine throne is located at the very center of the temple. We simply need to head towards the core. However, the temple is protected by array formations and its suppressive power makes it easy for even a Dou Sheng-level expert to be suppressed and gradually move away from the center..."
Before the Moon Goddess could finish speaking, a blue light appeared in Yue Yao's hand, followed by an ice-blue spear exuding a terrifying aura that suddenly appeared in her hand.
"An Imperial Artifact! That's right, now that the Holy Maiden has the Moon Goddess Imperial Artifact, things will be much easier..."
Just as Yueyao was about to speak, she sensed the aura of the Emperor's Artifact, and the space around them began to tremble. Then, beams of golden light emerged from the void and enveloped the Emperor's Artifact in Yueyao's hand.
"what happened!"
The women were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. Only Xiao Fan remained vigilant, keeping a watchful eye on everything in the shadows. So, the moment he sensed the movement, a jet-black flame enveloped Yue Yao.
Before the golden light enveloped them, they preemptively used chaotic fire to isolate and protect "Yueyao" and the ice-blue spear.
With the Chaos Fire providing cover, the golden light dissipated in pieces. However, Xiao Fan sensed that the previously suppressed emotions within this secret realm seemed to have lessened somewhat...
"Hehe, it seems you don't know much about the temple either."
Xiao Fan smiled at the group; he was all too familiar with the aura emanating from the golden light.
There are still eight words in his mind that are constantly expanding the strength of his soul power!
This aura is clearly of the same origin and lineage as the Dou Di aura that Xiao Fan had previously sensed within the mural world of the Spirit Clan's ancestral land!
However, this golden energy seemed to have dissipated for too long, which is why Xiao Fan was able to suppress it. But this was also because of the Chaos Fire in his hand; otherwise, it would have been different.
Even ordinary strong individuals would be completely powerless to resist these golden energies.
However, Xiao Fan keenly noticed that the moment these golden energies appeared, the Moon Goddess mark on Yue Yao's forehead emitted a few points of light, enveloping her in them.
Or rather, the moon goddess marks on their foreheads had been attracting a lot of silver moonlight ever since they entered the temple. They were automatically triggered when they sensed this golden energy, but their reaction was not as quick as Xiao Fan's.
"Buzz!"
The ice-blue spear in Yueyao's hand seemed to sense the change that had just occurred, and suddenly unleashed a sharp aura, a violent and fierce killing intent pointing directly into the depths of the temple.
"It should be this direction. How strange, there are so many changes in this temple compared to before..."
With the imperial artifact guiding their way, everyone's purpose became very clear.
Along the way, however, one sees only desolate scenes, appearing very cold and lonely, completely lacking the splendor and majesty that a temple should have.
A sense of gloom inevitably settled over everyone's hearts.
"What, are there any trials from before that haven't appeared yet?"
Xiao Fan listened to what one of the Moon Goddess Envoys said and asked a question.
Hearing Xiao Fan's question, the other party hesitated for a moment before speaking, "In previous trials, we would fall into a series of illusions, each containing the past of several generations of Holy Maidens..."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Xiao Fan suddenly recalled the illusion of the fifteenth Holy Maiden Ding You that he had experienced before during the war between the Spirit Clan and the Devouring Spirit Clan!
Chapter 404 Illusory Image in the Mirror
Chapter Outline:
With the help of illusions within the Moon Goddess's Palace, the phantom of the Yang God appears.
The words of the Moon God made the atmosphere in the room become strange.
Although Xiao Fan did not know how this trial had been conducted in the past, he understood the method of the trial from just a few words from the Moon Goddess Envoy.
Since the test involves experiencing the illusions of past Holy Maidens of the Spirit Clan, Xiao Fan couldn't help but think of the illusions he had experienced during the time of Ding You, the eleventh Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan.
At that time, the other ancient races were declaring war on the Devouring Spirit Clan.
Xiao Fan was also a guard who was with Ding You when he experienced that brief moment.
The powerful members of the Devouring Spirit Clan even infiltrated the Holy City of the Spirit Clan, which also shows the ferocity and cruelty of the war during that period.
However, this trial, as it stands now, has clearly undergone changes.
"The trials we faced began the moment we stepped into the Moon Goddess's Palace."
Just then, Yueyao suddenly stepped forward and stood beside Xiao Fan and the others. She slowly spoke, and the gazes of the other three Moon God Envoys also focused on Yueyao, becoming wary of their surroundings.
"After passing through the passage guarded by the Eight-Faced Celestial Venerable, we should have already entered the illusionary realm where the Holy Maidens of past generations resided. However, for some reason, this did not happen during this trial, and..."
"Yueyao" paused, raised the crescent moon mark that had just opened the palace gate, and a hint of surprise and doubt appeared on her pretty face as she spoke:
"This crescent moon mark is constantly reminding me not to go any deeper..."
"Yueyao" spoke softly, and Xiao Fan and the others' gazes fell on the Moonlit Mark in Yueyao's hand, while the other three wore expressions of confusion.
Only Xiao Fan felt a hint of surprise. This Crescent Moon Mark could actually sense even this...?
"only........."
"Yueyao" suddenly spoke again, raising the Moon Goddess Spear in her other hand. A faint fluorescent light emanated from the ice-blue spear, enveloping her in a thin halo.
"The imperial weapon exuded a powerful fighting spirit, both tragic and inspiring, as if... even if it meant being shattered to pieces, it was willing to fight..."
Upon hearing Yueyao's words, the expressions of the other three Moon Goddesses changed completely.
They were not afraid of death.
However, this trial was far beyond their expectations. All the resources, training methods, and experience that the clan had poured into them before they entered seemed to be useless.
Especially when listening to the aura emanating from the imperial artifact in Yueyao's mouth.
These are the weapons of the Moon Goddess, so why are they all emitting such a resolute will?
Of the five, only Xiao Fan understood that they might be facing one of the unknown Spirit Race's two gods.
“Let’s go. No matter what, you won’t back down now.”
Xiao Fan spoke first, knowing that no matter what lay ahead, Yueyao and the others would not back down. Moreover, this suddenly triggered mission did not allow him to retreat!
Xiao Fan took the lead, walking ahead of the crowd, releasing his aura as a one-star Dou Sheng without any concealment, and strode towards the depths of the palace.
Yueyao looked at Xiao Fan's dashing figure ahead with a hint of surprise on her face, but said nothing. The other three Moon Goddesses followed her and walked with Xiao Fan into the depths of the Trial Palace.
"It doesn't look like it's been uninhabited for a long time at all; on the contrary, it's quite well maintained."
As Xiao Fan walked through the hall, looking at the spotless interior, he showed no fear on his face. Instead, he examined the furnishings with great interest.
"Of course."
"Yueyao" walked side by side with Xiao Fan, looking around at the well-organized furnishings, a playful curiosity on her face, and said:
"According to clan records, the Moon Goddess loves all beautiful things, but her favorite color is blue, so even the decorations in her palace are predominantly blue..."
"I see it."
Xiao Fan looked at the potted plants, beaded curtains, and rockeries around him, which emitted a faint blue light, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.
"laugh!"
However, when Xiao Fan's gaze swept over a blue mirror, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and then a thunderous sound rang out within the palace.
"boom!"
Xiao Fan punched a dressing mirror with a blue frame, and ripples spread out from the mirror, but Xiao Fan's punch did not damage the dressing mirror in the slightest.
"Ok?"
Xiao Fan was certain that he hadn't misread anything. In addition, after entering the palace, he had a faint feeling of being spied on, which made him very clear that there was definitely something wrong here!
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Xiao Fan looked at the mirror surface rippling with blue waves, gathered his fighting spirit in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he threw another punch, striking the mirror once more.
The other three Moon Goddesses looked around, and "Yue Yao" had a flicker of emotion in her eyes as she surveyed her surroundings.
The mirror surface rippled under Xiao Fan's attacks, but Xiao Fan did not stop attacking.
Punches pounded on the dressing mirror again and again, and finally, cracks began to spread across the surface of the mirror.
"Click...click..."
As cracks appeared in the mirror, Xiao Fan felt a powerful energy suddenly surge from the mirror and bombard him.
"Can't hide anymore...?"
Xiao Fan sneered, his fighting spirit enveloping his fist, and this time, the mirror shattered completely.
"boom!"
This time, however, as the mirror shattered, a phantom blue fist emerged from the mirror and collided with Xiao Fan's punch.
The powerful force rebounded from Xiao Fan's fist, and this terrifying force caused a look of surprise to appear on Xiao Fan's face.
In terms of physical strength alone, he had already surpassed other experts of the same realm when he was at the Dou Zun realm, not to mention that his current strength has already entered the ranks of one-star Dou Sheng.
However, during his attack just now, he could sense the illusory figure with an inexplicable aura opposite him.
The opponent's strength level is definitely still at the Dou Zun level, and has not yet broken through to Dou Sheng, but when faced with my attack, they are almost evenly matched!
This surprised even Xiao Fan a little about the other party's strength.
Little did they know, the illusory blue figure in the mirror was even more shocked!
Feeling the terrifying force from the fist, he forced a strange expression onto his face, sensing Xiao Fan's aura as a one-star Dou Sheng, and cursed inwardly.
When were those who had advanced to the rank of Dou Sheng allowed to enter the temple?
Moreover, when did the Moon Goddess Envoy have a male? Could it be that something has happened to the Spirit Race in recent years?
