Chapter 562 Independent Space?
Lin Batian quickly walked to the position where Fang Yu had been standing.
This was just a flat area, no different from any other part of the mountaintop.
Lin Batian looked up at the sky, which was covered with a layer of white clouds.
He stomped his foot on the ground, but found nothing unusual.
If there were any restrictions or formations here, with Lin Batian’s sensing ability, it would be impossible for him not to detect them.
But Fang Yu’s disappearance proved that something abnormal must exist here, only that he couldn’t discover it.
“Pulled into the Ancient Demon Tower? Interesting.” Lin Batian paced slowly, deep in thought.
It had been a long time since he had encountered such a puzzling situation.
Moreover, he was now just a strand of consciousness left by his true self years ago, without any magical artifacts, only a trace of mysterious energy. He couldn’t use artifacts to explore the surrounding anomalies.
“Let’s wait, he should be back soon.” Lin Batian wasn’t worried about Fang Yu’s safety at all.
…
At this moment, Fang Yu found himself in a dim space.
Before him was a narrow path with dark walls on both sides.
At the end of the path, two torches hung on the walls, emitting a yellowish light.
“Is this… the interior of the Ancient Demon Tower?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the path ahead.
Just now, he had been standing at the center point of the ancient tower’s location as seen through the Dayan Lamp, when suddenly he felt his body lighten and the surrounding space distort to some degree, after which he arrived at this place.
The force that brought him here seemed to be some kind of law-based power.
“Could the Ancient Demon Tower be an independent small world? Not existing in the outside space?” Fang Yu wondered.
After pondering for a while without reaching any conclusion, he realized there was no other path in this space except forward.
So, Fang Yu began walking.
As he walked toward the end of the path, Fang Yu observed the walls on both sides.
There was nothing on the walls, just pitch black, not even looking like stone material.
After walking for a while, Fang Yu stopped, reached out his hand, wanting to touch the wall to feel its texture.
But as his hand touched the wall, it passed right through!
The wall’s texture wasn’t as hard as Fang Yu had guessed, but strangely soft.
At the same time, an extreme cold sensation traveled from Fang Yu’s fingers, spreading through his meridians and blood vessels like a virus, covering his entire body!
For anyone else, being penetrated by such extreme cold, if not instantly killed, they would at least be frozen stiff on the ground!
But inside Fang Yu’s body, the true energy flowing through his meridians quickly released warm energy in self-defense, dispelling that extreme cold.
At the same time, the small golden dragon that had been coiling in his dantian seemed to sense this coldness too, suddenly coiling faster, making Fang Yu feel his dantian becoming a bit overheated.
The result of all this internal activity was that Fang Yu, like nothing had happened, withdrew his finger and continued walking forward.
After walking another stretch, Fang Yu stopped again, frowning.
When he first started walking forward, he could clearly feel the distance to the two torches ahead decreasing.
But after he stopped once and continued walking, the distance never changed again!
He had been walking for about thirty seconds, but was actually treading in place!
“Welcome to my world.”
At this moment, a deep voice came from all directions, entering Fang Yu’s ears.
This voice carried an extremely strong penetrating power, like a sharp blade pouring into one’s body.
If one’s physical body wasn’t strong enough, this voice alone could shatter internal organs.
“Who are you?” Fang Yu asked.
“I am the master of this place,” the other answered.
“You took my artifact, didn’t you?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“You mean that lamp?” the other asked, his tone deepening.
“Yes, you should return it to me,” Fang Yu said. “It’s not good to take other people’s things.”
While talking with this voice, Fang Yu released his divine sense, trying to locate the source of the voice.
But he found that his divine sense couldn’t be released at all, as if blocked by some force, locked within his body!
“No need to struggle,” the voice said. “Since you’ve entered my world, there’s no possibility of leaving.”
“Just like those greedy cultivators, become food in my stomach!”
As the voice fell, the walls on both sides began to merge toward the center.
Fang Yu remained calm, slightly expanding the true energy within his body, a faint golden light appearing on his body.
The moment the walls touched Fang Yu’s body, they made a ‘sizzling’ sound.
Like water being added to a hot iron pot, the walls on both sides evaporated into white mist, unable to erode Fang Yu’s body in the slightest.
“I want that lamp back,” Fang Yu said.
From what he could see so far, he was certain that the place found by the Dayan Lamp had nothing to do with the Purple Flame Palace.
Looking at it from another angle, this place was found through the aura on Xiao Chen’s body… which meant that the existence here must have something in common with Xiao Chen.
What was the most obvious aura on Xiao Chen?
The reconstructed soul, and the flesh that could spiritualize… a Source Devourer!?
Could the existence here also be a Source Devourer?
This possibility was very high.
“Sizzle…”
The walls on both sides were still closing in, but they still couldn’t erode Fang Yu’s body.
At this moment, Fang Yu was like a stone between two pieces of cotton, impossible to compress in the slightest!
“Most people would die here, but you’re obviously a bit stronger than them, not bad,” the voice appeared again.
“You’re not the person I’m looking for. Return that lamp to me, and I’ll leave immediately, we won’t interfere with each other,” Fang Yu frowned and said. “I don’t have time to waste here with you.”
“I told you, once you enter this place, there’s no possibility of leaving,” the voice said coldly. “As for that lamp, after you die it will have no owner, so naturally it belongs to me.”
“You mean you want to kill me and take my possessions?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
The other didn’t speak again.
The next second, Fang Yu felt his body lighten, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The sides were no longer dark walls, but desolate mountains and wilderness.
A bright moon hung in the sky, and with no clouds, the moonlight reflected on the ground, providing adequate light.
It was very quiet around, with no other living beings visible.
“I heard you cultivators call this place the Ancient Demon Tower?” the voice appeared again. “Who came up with this name? I like it very much.”
“Now, I’ll let some ancient demon beasts play with you.”
As the voice fell, dozens of flashing points suddenly appeared behind the hill in front of Fang Yu.
These flashing points were not other things, but the glowing eyes of demon beasts!
Not just in front, but also to the left, right, and behind, many eyes appeared!
Demon beasts! A large group of demon beasts! At least a hundred, surrounding Fang Yu in the middle!
“Huff…”
This group of demon beasts emitted low breathing sounds, their limbs seemingly pawing at the ground, making rustling sounds.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, observing the group of demon beasts in front.
In the moonlight, Fang Yu quickly saw what these demon beasts were.
They resembled lions in shape, but the joints of their limbs gleamed with silver light, and their claws were sharp and slender.
Seventh-rank demon beasts, Steel Bone Lions!
Fang Yu hadn’t seen this breed of demon beast for many years, but now he saw so many at once, likely an entire group.
“Thump thump thump…”
As Fang Yu was thinking, a pair of huge eyes appeared behind the hill in front.
A Steel Bone Lion as large as an elephant walked out from behind the hill, stood at the forefront, and stared directly at Fang Yu.
Its eyes were also filled with bloodthirsty aura.
This was a lion king! An eighth-rank demon beast!
“Where did so many Steel Bone Lions come from?” Fang Yu frowned, thinking.
“Roar…”
At this moment, the Steel Bone Lion king in front raised its head, opened its bloody mouth, revealing its ferocious fangs, and let out a long roar.
As soon as this roar sounded, the hundred or so Steel Bone Lions around immediately pounced toward Fang Yu at their fastest speed!
“Boring.”
Fang Yu stood in place, the true energy in his body suddenly exploding!
An overwhelming momentum raised shocking waves of energy, spreading in all directions!
“Boom…”
This group of Steel Bone Lions, whose skeletons were harder than steel, were instantly swept away by this wave of energy!
