James looked at the gates in front of him. If Mia’s brother was here before, and he even sent news back home, then she must be
very familiar with this place.
He looked at Mia and asked, “Is the challenge for this round difficult?”
Mia answered, “Not too hard, not too easy.”
James looked at her with a confused look on his face.
She explained further, “For those with a strong and stable cultivation heart, this challenge is very easy. As long as your
cultivation heart is strong enough, each mirage can be easily solved. But if yours isn’t strong enough, then you will be
continuously trapped in the mirages created by the monster. I remember clearly that my brother told us that he used three years
to eradicate multilayered monsters, and managed to finally arrive at the depths of the palace where he defeated the monster.”
Upon hearing this, James asked, “Then may I know the cultivation rank of the monster?”
Mia answered, “It’s at the Quasi Ancestral Rank.”
James looked at all three of them. All of them were at the Quasi Ancestral Rank. As long as they could overcome the mirages,
defeating the monster would not be a problem for them.
“Alright, let’s go and have a look.” James wanted to see what the mirages looked like for himself, and also test whether his
cultivation heart was strong enough.
He marched towards the gates. Due to the previous explosion of black gasses, James was still rather cautious about his
movement.
Suddenly, the black palace’s gates opened even before they reached it. An infinite amount of gasses floated outwards from the
palace. novelebook.com They condensed to form a winged monster that James has never seen before, making a chill run down
his spine.
At this moment, the monster changed form, becoming another monster, and another, and another...
Mia explained from behind, saying, “This is a monster made from Demonic Energy. Within Mount Nothingness, there are infinite
amounts of Demonic Energy, so monsters of the sort are rather common. However, their power is extremely frightening. Some of
them are even Ancestral Gods and are difficult to kill.”
James looked still and hard at the monster in front of him. He could not feel any aura of life emanating from it. It must have been
a creation by a powerful figure within the depths of the mountain who used their mind to condense Demonic Energy together.
James was not worried about these monsters. For him, they constituted the purest form of Demonic Energy. He summoned the
Ten Thousand Demon Art, allowing the dark lotus within him to materialize into mystical power and forcefully absorb the monster
in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the Demonic Energy of the monster was completely absorbed by the dark lotus. The dark lotus then
returned part of that absorbed Energy to James, increasing his physical power.
Seeing this, the group of three was startled. Mia could not help but slightly tightened her eyebrows. She waited for James to
keep the dark lotus before asking, “James, what’s that thing?”
“Not much,” James explained almost nothing and marched in the direction of the palace.
Mia’s expression was stern. The Londyn family was prominent enough to know a lot about the situation of Mount Nothingness.
She had seen records in ancient scrolls.
“Legends have it that the malicious thoughts of the Lord of Nothingness materialized into a living being, of which its original form
resembles a dark lotus.novelebook.com Does this masked person have anything to do with this?”
Although she had many questions, she did not ask further. Instead, she followed James into the Palace.
Once they entered the palace, a passageway entered their vision. The passageway was three meters in height and two meters
in width. On each side of the walls, the mysterious carvings of characters could be seen.
It did not take long for the characters to materialize into living beings who attacked the group once they set foot into the
passageway.
