Test Three

"Stop!"

Just as Zhang Rongfang pulled Di Mo closer to his chest.

An invisible, cylindrical beam of light suddenly shot up from the ground beneath his feet.

The beam of light shot upwards, precisely targeting Zhang Rongfang.

The attack was originally aimed at his feet and torso, but at the crucial moment, Zhang Rongfang shifted his footing and barely avoided the target.

Poof! The beam of light grazed his nose, shot into the sky, and disappeared.

"." Zhang Rongfang took a step back and touched the tip of his nose where the beam of light had grazed.

The flesh at the tip of the nose has completely disappeared.

This beam of light is very similar in attack method to the corrupt black hands he encountered in the Sea of Forgetfulness.

Both are the same; once touched, the touched area will instantly disappear.

If the Perpetual Palace Master was indeed one of the designers of the original Gods and Buddhas Project, then all of this might make sense.

Zhang Rongfang stood still, looking towards the direction of the Perpetual Tower.

"I stopped, I stopped." He raised his hands to indicate that he had listened to advice and really hadn't done anything more.

Beneath the Perpetual Tower.

A Bald Woman wearing a black metallic bodysuit slowly walked out from the bottom door.

The woman had no eyebrows, and her eyes shone with a faint silvery-white light, giving her an inexplicable sense of ferocity.

She glanced at Di Mo, who was standing still.

"Di Mo, come here."

Di Mo remained motionless, standing still as if he hadn't heard a thing.

The woman's expression changed, and she raised her hand, reaching out to grab him.

An invisible wave instantly enveloped Di Mo, abruptly covering him.

In the blink of an eye, Di Mo vanished from his original spot and reappeared on the open ground next to the woman.

The woman stepped forward and placed her hand on Di Mo's body.

Di Mo's entire body seemed unable to withstand this force and slowly tilted and fell to the ground.

Bang.

The enormous, crystal-covered body began to shrink rapidly on the ground, returning to its original state.

Di Mo's eyes were lifeless; he had long since lost consciousness and lay quietly on the ground.

The Bald Woman withdrew her hand, her eyes flashing with a sharp, intense Silver Light.

"Dead?!"

She looked up at Zhang Rongfang, only to find that he was playing with a green rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand.

The feeling that crystal gave her was very similar to that of Di Mo.

"Mental consciousness extraction technology?" The Bald Woman's eyes calmed down.

She raised her hand.

Immediately, First Squad of Stone Statue Troop quickly surrounded Zhang Rongfang once again.

Everyone gritted their teeth and stood still, their hearts glowing with blinding halos as the Heart Burning Furnace was operating at full power.

"I was careless, stranger. Tell me why you're here!" The Bald Woman said in a deep voice as she looked at Zhang Rongfang.

Now that one of her capable subordinates has died, she can finally speak properly.

"What brings you here?" Zhang Rongfang looked around. "I just wanted to see what this world had become. I was just passing through. What a pity."

He paused.

"Unfortunately, you don't seem to be too welcoming."

"A welcome?" A slight glint of Silver Light flickered in La's eyes. "You tried to infiltrate in disguise; how should I welcome you?"

"But I was just infiltrating; I didn't intend to do anything bad," Zhang Rongfang sighed.

"Give me back Di Mo's consciousness, and I can grant you one request," he said, suppressing his anger.

The body can be rebuilt, but the spirit and consciousness are irreplaceable and must be taken back.

If she had known from the beginning that the other party possessed this technology for extracting imprisoned consciousness, she would never have easily allowed Di Mo and the others to step forward and test their skills.

But it's too late to think about it now.

The mind transfer technology that the Spirit Eye Clan mastered at its peak has been easily replicated on a stranger here.

This is simply unbelievable!

La still harbored some doubts and disbelief, but the crystal in the other party's hand was constantly emitting Di Mo's mental signals.

She had no choice but to believe it.

"Conditions." Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes. "I need all the basic data on this land. You definitely have it here, right?"

The mental crystal in his hand was not important to him; it only slightly increased his mental strength, nothing more.

But his purpose in going out this time was still to see clearly what the world had become.

So this one crystal is nothing special.

Achieving the goal is the key.

"Have."

La was slightly taken aback, then quickly nodded.

"It's inside the tower, do you dare to come in?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Zhang Rongfang gripped the crystal in his hand, took a step forward, and walked towards the Perpetual Tower.

His most important task now is to gather as much information as possible, rather than wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.

"Since you're not afraid, then come on." He put a hand on Di Mo and gave Zhang Rongfang a deep look.

With a whoosh, she and Di Mo vanished from the spot in an instant.

No footprints, no flight, no afterimage of high-speed movement—it simply vanished in an instant.

It was as if it had been deleted out of thin air.

Zhang Rongfang stamped his foot and raised an eyebrow; even in the Dark Light Vision, he could clearly see every detail.

It's not movement, it's not flight. "Is it just pure spatial teleportation?"

He felt a chill run down his spine and looked around at the other members of the Stone Statue Troop.

Wherever his gaze fell, all the gargoyle members lowered their heads and stepped back, not daring to meet his eyes.

The huge crater from the fierce battle was still there, and Di Mo, one of the two high-ranking officers in the army, was also defeated in a direct confrontation.

The rest of the people who went up there were of no use whatsoever except to deliver food.

Zhang Rongfang looked around and was surprised to find that Laf had already disappeared, probably having escaped.

Not only that, but several other tour groups that had been watching the commotion also quietly moved away, clearly afraid of being implicated and targeted.

'I am the victor, so is it because I'm afraid of incurring the wrath of the Perpetual Palace?' Zhang Rongfang understood.

He immediately took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, he covered a large distance and stood in front of the leaning tower.

Outside the Perpetual Tower, blue arcs of electricity flow continuously, and at its base is a huge round door for entry and exit.

Inside the round door was a blurry, misty interior scene.

After being atomized, even Zhang Rongfang's Dark Light Vision was unable to penetrate it and see what was inside.

"The information you requested is all here. Come in," La's voice drifted from inside.

Zhang Rongfang stood in front of the door, paused, and stared at the round gate.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips, and he took a step forward.

Call.

His toes stopped a few centimeters from the round gate, and he did not step down any further.

"It seems you're not planning on exchanging."

He looked up into the doorway. There, he could vaguely make out a human figure.

"An exchange is necessary, but only if you have the ability to walk through this door alive!"

The sound of pulling came out.

Pfft! Suddenly, before the voice could even finish speaking, the blurry, distorted shape inside the round door bulged out.

Like a raised layer of gel, it instantly bursts forth with a large number of dense, transparent spikes.

The sharp spikes, like living things, rained down on Zhang Rongfang at close range.

His bat wings shielded his face, but to no avail.

Whether it's his bat wings or his body, forged through Thousand Refinements and reinforced with Steel Skin, it's all part of his physique.

Under these spikes, they were as fragile as paper, instantly pierced and flying out from behind.

Amidst a cacophony of piercing sounds, Zhang Rongfang stood rooted to the spot, his massive body instantly riddled with holes.

"What's this!?"

His face was also pierced with dozens of finger-sized holes, and his voice became hoarse and strange.

"It's very simple." Ra's figure appeared out of thin air beside him and gently took the crystal from his hand.

"This is a transfer."

Her expression was stern as she examined the green crystal in her hand.

"What I practice is one of the highest achievements of the entire Perpetual Palace – the Martial Arts Diagram of Kong Xiang Transfer Extinction."

"No matter what methods or techniques you have, no matter how strong you are, it's all in vain under my Kong Xiang Transfer Extinction."

She looked up at Zhang Rongfang.

"So." She raised her finger and pointed it at the other person's forehead.

You shouldn't have gotten so close to me.

Puff!!

In an instant, an invisible impact struck Zhang Rongfang's head.

The impact was like an eraser, instantly shaving off half of Zhang Rongfang's head.

"It's over." La said coldly, watching the other person's body slowly fall backward.

"Annihilation."

She pressed her fingers down.

Without a sound, a large number of invisible spikes suddenly burst open inside Zhang Rongfang's body.

Wherever the spikes passed, all flesh and blood vanished into thin air.

In just one second, most of his enormous body disappeared, quickly shriveling up.

With a whoosh, all the bodies exploded, collapsed, dissolved, and turned into a pool of pure flesh and blood.

La stopped looking at the ground.

"Someone come and clean it up," she ordered, stepping into the round doorway of the tower.

Di Mo's strength is still insufficient; she needs more and stronger subordinates. Otherwise, if she has to handle everything personally, what's the point of her research? "This place looks quite nice."

Suddenly a voice rang out from behind her.

He suddenly stopped and turned his head instantly.

Unbeknownst to them, a familiar figure was standing on one side of the inside of the round gate.

Blood-red robe, white skin, red-eyed glow.

It was Zhang Rongfang, who should have just died!! "You!!?" A wave of shock washed over La. "What kind of ability is this!?"

How could someone who was clearly dead be perfectly restored to their original state? "Three Flowers Gather on Crown, Five Energies Merge to Origin at the Origin. Have you heard of it?" Zhang Rongfang's skin was once again covered with patterns, and his body rapidly expanded and grew larger.

"Even Gods and Buddhas must bow before immortals!"

"A human immortal?" Silver Light flashed in La's eyes. She took a sudden step forward, and her body disappeared instantly.

When it reappeared, it was already in the air to Zhang Rongfang's right.

Puff!!

The two men clasped hands together at the same time.

Zhang Rongfang's arm vanished into thin air.

But new arms grew on his chest, abdomen, back, and neck.

The countless arms, fists, fingers, and palms, instantly unleashed all the Talisman Art and martial arts killing moves of the Great Dao Sect.

Forces of different natures, weights, and degrees of intensity, and whose strength was unpredictable and elusive, rained down on the surface of the body.

Boom!!! La's palm struck Zhang Rongfang's torso again, creating a huge hole in it.

Zhang Rongfang's arms also landed squarely in the center of La's body.

But strangely, all his arms seemed to strike an indestructible, invisible wall.

With a deafening roar, La was thrown back several meters by the immense force, his eyes gleaming with Silver Light.

The hole in the center of Zhang Rongfang's body also healed quickly and returned to normal.

His current life force of over three thousand points allows him to possess an incredibly terrifying Life Force. Even without the replenishment of the essence of heaven and earth, he can regenerate dozens of times on his own.
