Hall of Illusory Fire God: The Mysterious Stone Stele

Black Sun Ancestor piloted Star Brilliance rapidly towards the Black Prison Starfield, but the far southern chaotic region was far from the Black Prison, and it would be impossible for Black Sun Ancestor to arrive in less than ten days.

But how could Zhang Xingfeng know that the Black Sun Ancestor was already on his way? Perhaps even if he did know, Zhang Xingfeng wouldn't be worried.

The battle ended, and by the time Xiao Lin and his army arrived, there were no enemies left on the entire Black Prison Star. Of course, Zhang Xingfeng was the one who caused all of this. In the following two days, Xiao Lin immediately gathered all the planetary forces in the Black Prison Star Region, and thus, Xiao Lin finally unified the Black Prison Star Region.

At this moment, a victory celebration banquet was being held in the leader's mansion.

"Senior brother, you've gone too far. It's one thing to kill the Demon Emperor, but why kill all sixteen Demon Emperor as well, leaving none of us alive? Doesn't that make us lose face?" Xiao Lin said to Zhang Xingfeng, holding a wine cup.

Xiao Lin sat in the seat of honor, while Zhang Xingfeng sat in the seat of honor on the left.

Zhang Xingfeng also raised his glass, saying helplessly, "You can't blame me for this. It's because your Great Teleportation speed is too slow. Besides, how was I supposed to know that those Demon Emperors were so weak? You know how fast I am, your senior brother. How long do you think it would take to deliver sixteen simple punches? Most importantly—I was already very slow at that time!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile, but in reality, he was very happy because when he used his fists to eliminate the sixteen Demon Emperor, he vaguely discovered the development direction of the fifth strike of Zero Point Split Strike.

Physical attack - Zero Point Split Strike! It was created by Zhang Xingfeng himself, but to this day, Zhang Xingfeng has only created Microwave Vibration Inch Force Thousand Strikes Dimensional Slash Empty Hundred Split!

Regarding physical attacks, Mortal World artists are definitely stronger than experts from the immortal and demonic realms. Experts from the immortal and demonic realms rely on immortal artifacts Devil Artifact, divine artifacts, restrictions, and Method Formula!

Zhang Xingfeng has yet to discover any physical attacks, and even Pangu, who cultivated the Six Revolutions Profound Body, never researched techniques that relied on physical combat. This is because Pangu grew up in the environments of the Immortal and Demon Realms, while Zhang Xingfeng was nurtured by the environment of the Mortal World, making him very skilled in close-quarters combat. However, since leaving the Mortal World, Zhang Xingfeng has never made any breakthroughs, even after engaging in physical combat.

Zhang Xingfeng had always wanted to create a fifth move of "Zero Point Split Strike". Today, Zhang Xingfeng finally had a clue, and although he hadn't fully grasped it, Zhang Xingfeng was now confident.

"If the fifth move were created, I could probably kill a Demon Lord in the early stages with physical attacks right now!" Zhang Xingfeng sighed inwardly. The Zero Point Split Strike four moves were each more than ten times stronger than the last. Currently, the Empty Hundred Split was already enough to deal with a late-stage Demon Emperor. If the fifth move were unleashed, Zhang Xingfeng's attack power would be clearly visible!

"Haha, Master's body was so powerful back then, yet he only used it for defense, not to fully utilize its strength for attack! He only used one-tenth of the Six Revolutions Profound Body's power. I believe that with the Six Revolutions Profound Body's attack power, it would probably be comparable to Saint Artifact. Sigh... When will I reach the Immortal Undying Body realm? If I reach that realm, my physical attacks will probably be much stronger!" Zhang Xingfeng shook his head and sighed. Of course, the Immortal Undying Body has much greater power and speed than the Skyfire Body; the effects of the same physical attack are worlds apart!

"Senior brother, why are you sighing so much?" Xiao Lin stepped down from his seat and walked to Zhang Xingfeng's side, saying. By this time, people in the hall were casually chatting, drinking, and playing drinking games...

Zhang Xingfeng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things. By the way, I've already got the immortal crystal, and your sister-in-law and I are leaving soon."

Xiao Lin immediately said, "No, no, how can this be? We brothers have only been together for a short time, how can we separate now? Right now, Sister- Yu Yan Hong Xiao and the others, how can you bear to separate them so soon?"

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at Yu Yan Hong Xiao A Yu, and A Yu, who were chatting happily in the distance, and smiled. He then looked at Xiao Lin and said helplessly, "Alright, let's rest here for a few more days!"

"But what have I been doing here these past few days? If I were to cultivate, a few days wouldn't be worthwhile." Zhang Xingfeng had long wanted to cultivate properly. He planned to go into seclusion when he returned this time, to fully absorb and integrate the insights he had gained over the past few days. However, a few days was too short and not enough.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng's eyes lit up, and he said to Xiao Lin beside him, "Wasn't there a mysterious stone tablet in the Tianluan Star? It was formed entirely of the Jianyu Essence, ten meters high, three meters wide, and half a meter thick. It is said to be very mysterious. I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin frowned and said, "Mysterious stone tablet... Hmm... Senior brother, I advise you not to go."

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at Xiao Lin, smiled, and said, "Is it because the Supreme Elder of the Asura Gate once tried to take this stone tablet, but ultimately failed and died soon after?"

Xiao Lin smiled wryly, "It seems you already know, Senior Brother. I've been overthinking things. But I still have to say, don't touch this stone tablet. Legend has it that it's the foundation of the Tianluan Star. If that tablet is gone, the Tianluan Star will be finished. Of course, I don't care about the Tianluan Star, haha... Now I'm the ruler of the Black Prison Star Region!" Xiao Lin laughed smugly, Xiao Lin said seriously, "It's just that this stone tablet is too mysterious. There have been quite a few experts who died on this stone tablet throughout history, but none of them are as famous as the Supreme Elder of the Asura Gate, which is why the deaths of other experts are not well-known."

Zhang Xingfeng was startled and said, "A lot of experts died up there?"

Xiao Lin nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xingfeng frowned. He was very curious about the stone tablet, but he wasn't reckless. Since many experts had died on this stone tablet in history, it meant that the stone tablet itself really had mysterious power.

"No, I don't believe that the three leaders of the Tianluan Sect didn't carefully examine the stone tablet. Why didn't they feel any discomfort?" Zhang Xingfeng certainly didn't believe it. The three Demon Emperors of the Tianluan Sect all had tens of millions of years of cultivation history. How could Zhang Xingfeng believe that none of them had observed the mysterious stone tablet in all those years?

Xiao Lin exclaimed admiringly, "As expected of Senior Brother, amazing! Indeed, if you don't pull up this stone tablet, you won't suffer any attacks. But once you try to pull it up, it will launch that mysterious attack. Throughout history, no expert who has tried to pull up the stone tablet has survived. Most die on the spot, only experts at the Demon Lord level can hold out for a few more days, but the result is always the same—annihilation, never to be reborn!"

Zhang Xingfeng felt a tremor in his heart upon hearing this, but for some reason, he became even more curious about the mysterious stone tablet.

The next day, Zhang Xingfeng left Yu Yan and Hong Xiao with the others, while he headed towards the Tianluan Star to carefully observe the mysterious stone tablet.

Outside the original Tianluan Sect's gate stands a stone tablet with countless years of history, seemingly existing since time immemorial. The tablet is ten meters high, three meters wide, and half a meter thick. After countless years of wind and rain, the tablet is covered with the marks of time.

Zhang Xingfeng casually cast a restriction, preventing anyone within a ten-meter radius of the stone tablet from approaching. Perhaps worried about the power of this mysterious stone tablet, Zhang Xingfeng couldn't rest easy and set up numerous restrictions around it to prevent those outside from being affected.

Flames flashed across Zhang Xingfeng's body, and the Heavenly Fire Armor immediately appeared.

"Even a Demon Lord-level expert is dead, I'd like to see what makes you so mysterious!" Zhang Xingfeng stepped forward, extended his right hand, and gently touched the stone tablet. Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng felt as if his fingers had been struck by lightning, and his whole body went numb.

"That's strange. My Skyfire Body has already reached the deep purple realm. If I break through again, I'll be close to reaching the Immortal Undying Body realm. Even if it's heavenly lightning, unless it's too strong, my body won't feel any numbness. But just now, I only touched it lightly, and I actually felt a numbness." Zhang Xingfeng immediately became cautious about this mysterious stone tablet.

"But didn't they say that nothing would happen if we didn't remove the stone tablet? If I don't remove it and take a closer look, there shouldn't be any problems." Zhang Xingfeng cautiously moved forward, his hands instantly touching the stone tablet. A look of confusion appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face, but this time he didn't feel any numbness.

Zhang Xingfeng's hands shimmered with light. Limitless Power surged, quickly cleaning the surface of the mysterious stone tablet completely.

"The Jianyu Essence is indeed the Jianyu Essence. It is indeed an extremely hard material. After so many years, the Jianyu Essence has not changed at all and still has a faint golden light shimmering." Zhang Xingfeng sighed, but his eyes carefully observed the mysterious stone tablet.

"Huh, what's this?" Zhang Xingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, instantly locking onto a faint, almost invisible stripe.

Zhang Xingfeng closed his eyes, his Divine Sense instantly locking onto the entire Jianyu Essence, wanting to analyze it carefully, since Divine Sense was more reliable than eyesight.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the stone tablet before him, muttering, "How is this possible? How is this possible?" It took Zhang Xingfeng a while to recover from the shock.

What exactly caused Zhang Xingfeng to be so shocked just now?

What exactly did Zhang Xingfeng's Divine Sense discover? Even if he discovered something truly wondrous, Zhang Xingfeng wouldn't be surprised, given how bizarre the mysterious stone tablet itself was. But the truth was, Zhang Xingfeng discovered nothing. His Divine Sense only detected the Jianyu Essence Zhang Xingfeng; nothing else, not even the stripes!

The eyes detected the stripes, but the Divine Sense did not!

How could this be? Isn't Divine Sense more reliable and powerful than the eyes? How could such a thing be discovered? This completely overturned Zhang Xingfeng's understanding.

Looking at the stone tablet before him, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly realized something. "This stone tablet was probably not erected by people of this realm. Perhaps it was erected by a god or a celestial being. If that's the case, then things are not as simple as I initially thought. This stone tablet is not something that can be easily manipulated. Should we continue to observe it?" Zhang Xingfeng began to waver.

Zhang Xingfeng couldn't detect the stripes with his Divine Sense, but he could with his eyes, which made him start to worry...

Should we continue?

Zhang Xingfeng was torn by intense internal conflict; the decision seemed incredibly difficult at that moment. Suddenly Zhang Xingfeng thought of Yu Yan, and of his brothers...

"Damn it, I'm not looking anymore. Better safe than sorry. If I fall for this stone tablet, won't I regret it to death? What will happen to Yu Yan and the others? Curiosity can kill a cat!" Zhang Xingfeng made a resolute decision.

Zhang Xingfeng glanced longingly at the stripes, then prepared to turn and leave.

Suddenly!

The stripe transformed into a bolt of lightning, a purple bolt of lightning. The lightning was incredibly fast, so fast that Zhang Xingfeng had no time to react. The purple lightning instantly enveloped Zhang Xingfeng completely, and the mysterious stone tablet immediately began to flicker with purple light...

"Damn it, I didn't pull down that stone tablet, so why am I being targeted?" These were Zhang Xingfeng's last thoughts, which were then quickly replaced by chaos...

Nine purple stripes suddenly appeared on the stone tablet, each with a mysterious trajectory winding around it and flashing incessantly, each one more enigmatic than the last...

Three of the nine purple stripes on the mysterious stone tablet had already emitted purple lightning, completely enveloping Zhang Xingfeng like a silkworm cocoon.

Suddenly, in addition to the three purple stripes, another purple stripe shot out purple lightning that rushed into the purple lightning cocoon. This fourth purple stripe's lightning seemed to form mysterious symbols, incomprehensible runes that rushed into the lightning cocoon one by one...

At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly found himself in a chaotic world.

Suddenly, three beams of light shot towards him. Zhang Xingfeng was horrified to find himself unable to move or make a sound, only able to watch the three purple beams approach. Abruptly, when the three beams of light were about a body length away from Zhang Xingfeng, they stopped abruptly.

A purple light suddenly flashed, abruptly enveloping Zhang Xingfeng merging into his body.

Zhang Xingfeng was surprised to find that he felt no discomfort at all, but then a shiver from the depths of his soul made Zhang Xingfeng tremble all over, as if a mark had been made on the deepest part of Zhang Xingfeng soul.

Lin

Zhang Xingfeng clearly sensed this mark. An incomparably powerful force seemed to emanate from it, causing Zhang Xingfeng to tremble uncontrollably... like an ant encountering Long Yi with fear. This was a difference in level, a difference in the level of life...
