Chapter 498: News

Fang Xing's body, after all, was only Eighth Realm satellite-level.

Being able to support it until now was completely an extraordinary performance.

If the main body were here, perhaps he could win against this pitch-black puppet in the flames.

But this body could only be said to have reached its limit.

"I admit defeat."

With a thought, he was directly teleported away.

'Heavenly Immortal First Level to Ninth Level, equivalent to the early to peak stages of the Dharma Lord realm, all within the scope of the Thirteenth Realm.'

'Only a Heavenly Immortal Overlord can barely be considered to possess Fourteenth Realm combat power!'

'I don't know if I can climb to the realm of a Heavenly Immortal Overlord after breaking through?'

With a bit of thought, Fang Xing's eyes lit up.

What he saw was a huge square.

At the end of the square, there was a pitch-black cliff, the cliff face smooth as a mirror, and there were lines of cosmic characters on it:

【Cultivation technique category, treasure category, other category...】

【Exchange requires Black Demon Points; everyone has three opportunities to challenge others, but if the challenged person refuses to challenge three times in a row, or loses once, the Black Demon Points are cleared, and they will be directly teleported out of the Black Demon Palace.】

"This is... can you seize the opponent's Black Demon Points through duels?"

Fang Xing swept around and found that there were quite a few figures in the square.

Occasionally, two people met eyes, and then they disappeared at the same time.

Not long after, only one person returned to the square, their aura fluctuations appearing extremely violent, clearly having just experienced a tragic battle.

"Stranger?"

While thinking, a figure walked over.

It had a human torso but a head of an octopus, and its aura was also at the satellite level.

This is the fixed template of the Black Demon Palace.

"Yes, do you want to challenge me?"

Fang Xing responded with a smile.

"No, strangers have the possibility of overturning, we 'Star Fish Race' never gamble."

The octopus head turned and left, still secretly surprised in his heart: 'This person, the feeling is not simple...'

Fang Xing walked forward all the way, arriving under the pitch-black cliff.

Once here, one could exchange for cultivation techniques, legacies, and even treasures with one thought!

'I have 11100 Black Demon Points now; I wonder if I can exchange for a better space-time Great Dao legacy?'

Fang Xing thought silently.

If it is a relic left by a Fourteenth Realm Dao Lord existence, then there is probably none, unless the other party also happens to walk the space-time Great Dao.

But if it is left by a Fifteenth Realm Eternal existence, it is hard to say.

He communicated his consciousness with the cliff and immediately started searching for space-time keywords.

Soon, the results appeared:

"《Space-Time Road》, 《Mo Yun Notes》, 《Space-Time Lotus》?"

"There are three legacies involving the space-time Great Dao, three Dao Lord realm legacies? If the owner of this Black Demon Palace is not a space-time Dao Lord, then he must be a higher-level Eternal existence, or even the legendary 'Transcender'?"

Fang Xing was shocked first, then determined that the Great Xia universe was obviously of a high level!

At least, it would not be inferior to the Qingyuan Great World!

"Among them, 《Space-Time Road》 requires 20000 Black Demon Points, 《Mo Yun Notes》 15000, but 《Space-Time Lotus》 is the lowest, only requiring 10000 Black Demon Points..."

Fang Xing fell into deep thought; clearly, wanting to obtain a complete Dao Lord realm legacy, the difficulty was very high!

However, these legacies can be sold separately; as long as you only want the first half, or even the first level, the price is quite cheap.

"Even for a Dao Lord level legacy, the first level only requires about 100 points; it is not bad to buy them all to comprehend them... and then make a decision."

Fang Xing made a decision, immediately exchanged for the first level of the three major legacies, and started to comprehend them silently.

"Space-Time Road, it is indeed profound and obscure... and it fully expounds the space-time Great Dao; the first level is already quite difficult, requiring full comprehension of the

"Mo Yun's notes focus primarily on various secret arts, expounding on the Great Dao of Time and Space."

"The final 'Time-Space Lotus'? Huh? It starts directly from the fusion of time and space, emphasizing 'my heart is like a lotus seed,' transforming the power of time-space fusion into a lotus seed within the heart. Each petal the lotus blooms represents a deeper level of comprehension... When the Time-Space Lotus fully blooms, it signifies the complete realization of the Great Dao of Time and Space, and one can ascend to the Dao Master Realm."

Fang Xing compared them and knew that although "The Path of Time and Space" was the best, "Time-Space Lotus" was the most suitable for him, because he had walked the path of time-space fusion from the very beginning.

Utilizing the power of a black hole to distort a trace of the laws of time and space, then transforming it into a lotus seed, could indeed be a seamless transition.

While he was thinking, Fang Xing suddenly shuddered.

【Someone has initiated a challenge against you. Will you accept?】

He opened his eyes and saw Kui Lan.

【Yes!】

Fang Xing responded with his consciousness, and immediately disappeared with Kui Lan, arriving within a hidden space.

"Come... I want to know, under the same physical conditions, just how large the gap between you and me really is!"

Kui Lan roared, and behind him appeared the phantom of a horned Yuan Nightmare Beast: "Secret Art: Thousand-Fold Claws!"

Claw shadows surged forth like a waterfall.

Fang Xing's figure became illusory, seemingly wandering through the void, moving with ease amidst these claw shadows: "You challenge me, are you not afraid that your Black Demon Points will be emptied and you will be immediately teleported out of the secret realm?" Through his previous insights, Fang Xing knew they had a period of free time, during which they could duel, cultivate, or exchange for inheritances to their heart's content, and continue challenging after becoming stronger.

"I have long had my inheritance, and my path is set. This time, I am just exchanging for some treasures. My Black Demon Points have already been consumed down to only 1 point left; if I lose, I lose..."

Kui Lan laughed loudly.

Fang Xing understood; this could also be considered a small trick. Once one's own Black Demon Points are mostly used up and one is no longer afraid of failure, one goes to challenge frantically.

Who knows... maybe you'll win!

It is just a pity that this Kui Lan's brain is not clear; clearly possessing Black Hole-level combat power, he actually came to challenge him.

If he went to challenge those powerful Neutron Star-level existences, he might have been able to accumulate a stash of Black Demon Points.

"Since that is the case..."

Fang Xing extended a palm, as if covering the sky, erasing the sky-filling claw shadows without a trace; it was precisely the "Sky-Covering Hand"!

After the Sky-Covering Hand, naturally came the "Five-Finger Mountain"!

Boom—!

Under the frantic crushing of the five great mountains, although Kui Lan tried his best to shatter four, he was ultimately crushed by the fifth great mountain, dying in a very distinctive way.

"Being injured in the Black Demon Palace, the injuries will be transmitted to the true body... and it is even possible to die!"

For example, by using will-based attacks to completely extinguish the opponent's soul!

In this way, even if the opponent's true body is still alive, it will only become a vegetable!

However, this Kui Lan was not bad by nature; Fang Xing, of course, would not deal such a heavy blow.

【You have defeated your opponent and gained 1 Black Demon Point.】

The Black Demon Palace's notification arrived, leaving Fang Xing speechless.

These inheritors who are clearer on the intelligence of the Black Demon Palace really have utilized all the rules to the extreme, and are especially good at finding loopholes.

"Perhaps the Black Demon Palace has no artifact spirit, or simply does not care about this?"

Fang Xing arrived back at the plaza and discovered that the people around him were looking at him with awe.

Clearly, this was the aftereffect of defeating Kui Lan.

Although Kui Lan had not revealed his identity, the previous few battles all indicated that he was a ruthless character, suspected to be a Black Hole-level existence.

But such an existence had lost to Fang Xing; does that not mean Fang Xing is even more troublesome?

"In this situation, no one will come to challenge me... should I take the initiative?"

Fang Xing pondered for a while and found that there was not much benefit.

After all, he did not know who still had a large stash of Black Demon Points, and the opportunities to challenge were limited.

"However, this time, I obtained this opportunity by chance anyway, and just came to take a look... being able to obtain the Dao Master-level Great Dao of Time and Space inheritance is already enough."

Fang Xing arrived before the cliff and pressed his palm against it.

In an instant, 10,000 Black Demon Points were deducted.

At the same time, he felt an additional "Time-Space Lotus Seed" in his sea of consciousness, and every carving on it was filled with a portion of the inheritance.

Combined completely, it was the complete "Time-Space Lotus" inheritance.

"Sure enough, starting with the path of time-space fusion, this inheritance is extremely suitable for me, or rather... for my immortal cultivation avatar."

Fang Xing sighed inwardly: "There are still some Black Demon Points left; I can exchange for some small trinkets and secret arts..."

Just as Fang Xing was pondering, another figure walked over.

The other party had long, blood-red, waterfall-like hair, and his appearance was slightly feminine: "Respected powerhouse, I am 'Babel' of the Blood Prison Civilization. I wonder if I might have the honor of hearing your name?"

"I am... Fang Yun of the Deep Sea Civilization."

Fang Xing casually gave a fake name: "Why? Do you want to challenge me?"

"No, no, no..." Babel immediately waved his hands: "I am not a Black Hole-level existence, nor am I that madman from before... So, Your Excellency is a powerhouse of the Sea Race from the Deep Sea Civilization?"

He secretly transmitted his voice: "Mr. Fang Yun... if you are willing to clear one person out of the Black Demon Palace, or even cause his soul to be damaged... I am willing to pay a strange object, or 200 billion Source Coins..."

"Sure enough, those who obtain the Black Demon Order belong to different factions, and it is quite possible they have grudges... even mutual sabotage has become the norm."

Fang Xing's heart stirred, but a playful look appeared on his face, and he also replied via voice transmission: "Do you think I will help you?"

"Trying it out doesn't do any harm, does it?"

Babel laughed: "Besides... even if Mr. Fang Yun is unwilling, at least I have gotten to know Your Excellency."

"A slick guy, but a Neutron Star-level powerhouse from the Blood Prison Civilization, huh?"

Fang Xing's heart stirred.

That "Blood Origin Mountain Master" also belonged to the Blood Prison Civilization.

"Is there anything happening in the Blood Prison Civilization recently?"

He spoke, chatting casually for a few sentences.

"Naturally, in three years' time, it will be the 100,000th birthday of our great 'Blood Prison God Emperor'... Our civilization is preparing to hold a super-large celebration, and many big shots will attend."

Babel seemed to introduce it with honor: "If Your Excellency comes to celebrate by then, you will certainly be treated as a guest of honor."

"Oh? The Blood Prison God Emperor's birthday?"

Fang Xing was lost in thought.

Civilizations in the universe are strange and varied; slavery exists, and imperial systems are even less surprising.

After all, the Great Xia universe is a world where great power belongs to oneself!

"This celebration, however, seems like a good opportunity to make a move..."
