Chapter 372 Temple
Chapter 372 Temple
Li Yunfei stepped into the depths of the temple, and a stale and decayed smell hit him. The temple was dark and gloomy, with only a few faint rays of light seeping in from the cracks in the wall.
He took cautious steps, and the stone slabs under his feet made a creaking sound, as if telling an ancient story. The runes on the wall flashed with strange light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, which made people feel cold.
Li Yunfei's heartbeat was particularly clear in the silence. He clenched the artifact in his hand, and the weak light of the artifact became the only comfort in the darkness. He looked around vigilantly, not missing any slight movement.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, bringing a biting cold. Li Yunfei couldn't help but shiver, and he felt a pair of invisible eyes peeping at him in the dark.
"Who is it? Come out!" he shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the empty temple.
However, only his own voice answered him, and all around him was still silent.
Li Yunfei continued to walk forward, and a narrow passage appeared in front of him. On the walls on both sides of the passage, there were horrifying pictures of demons rampaging and humans struggling in pain, which made people shudder.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and walked into the passage. The passage was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people nauseous.
"What on earth is this place?" Li Yunfei thought to himself.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound above his head. He looked up and saw a group of black bats flying towards him.
Li Yunfei quickly waved the magic weapon, and the light of the magic weapon instantly illuminated the passage, and the bats avoided it one after another under the light.
He quickened his pace and finally walked out of the passage. In front of him was a huge hall with a stone platform in the middle of the hall. On the stone platform was a book emitting black light.
Li Yunfei slowly approached the stone platform, and when his hand touched the book, a powerful force pushed him away. He fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"What kind of power is this?" Li Yunfei struggled to stand up.
At this time, a deep voice sounded in the hall: "If you want to gain power, you must pay a price."
Li Yunfei looked around but couldn't see the person who was talking.
"Who are you?" he asked loudly.
"I am the guardian here. Only by passing my test can you master the true power of the artifact." The voice sounded again.
"What test?" Li Yunfei asked.
"Your heart is filled with fear and doubt. Only by overcoming them can you gain strength," the voice said.
Li Yunfei took a deep breath and said, "I'm not afraid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless phantoms suddenly appeared in the hall, including his former enemies, his lost friends, and the scenes he feared most in his heart.
Li Yunfei's eyes became confused, as if he had returned to those painful moments.
However, the light of the artifact flickered at this time, as if reminding him.
Li Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "This is all an illusion. I will not be defeated by you!"
He closed his eyes and felt the power of the artifact with his heart. The light of the artifact gradually became stronger, illuminating the entire hall. The phantom gradually disappeared under the light.
"Very good, you have passed the first test." The guardian's voice sounded again.
Li Yunfei wiped the sweat off his face and said, "If you have any other tests, just come!"
The floor of the hall suddenly began to tremble, and cracks appeared. From the cracks, blazing flames burst out.
Li Yunfei quickly stepped back, and the flames spread instantly, surrounding him.
The scorching temperature made it difficult for him to breathe, but he still did not retreat.
Li Yunfei took a deep breath and slowly raised the artifact in his hand. He held the artifact tightly, feeling its power, hoping to use it to control the raging fire in front of him. However, the artifact trembled slightly in his hand, as if resisting his power. Li Yunfei felt frustrated, but he did not give up.
"Concentrate and believe in yourself!" Li Yunfei shouted to himself in his heart. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his inner panic and anxiety. He knew that only by staying calm could he unleash the true power of the artifact.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Yunfei's eyes became unusually firm. He stared intently at the flames in front of him, concentrating all his energy on the artifact. Following his thoughts, the artifact flashed with dazzling light, intertwining with the scorching breath of the flames.
Li Yunfei gritted his teeth and continued to release his power. The artifact gradually stabilized under his control and began to resonate with the flame. He felt a powerful energy gushing out of the artifact and rushing towards the flame.
Gradually, the flames began to weaken under his efforts. The raging fire was gradually suppressed, and the height of the flames slowly decreased. Li Yunfei saw this scene, and a trace of joy surged in his heart. But he knew that now was not the time to relax.
He continued to go all out, constantly strengthening his control over the artifact. With his persistence, the flames finally went out completely, leaving only a charred land and billowing smoke. Li Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, his body shaking a little. He felt exhausted, but also full of a sense of accomplishment.
After this tough battle, Li Yunfei realized that using the artifact requires great mental strength and concentration. To master this power, he must constantly practice and improve his abilities. He decided to train harder in the future to cope with the challenges he might encounter in the future.
"You did well. Next is the final test." said the guardian's voice.
A huge rock suddenly fell from the top of the hall and hit Li Yunfei.
Li Yunfei didn't have time to think and dodged.
Stones fell one after another, leaving him nowhere to hide.
He rushed left and right in the rain of stones, his body covered with wounds.
"I can't give up like this!" Li Yunfei roared.
Li Yunfei's body was already extremely weak, but he still gritted his teeth and threw the artifact into the air with all his strength. The artifact drew an arc in the air and shone with dazzling light, like a bright star. As the light bloomed, all the falling stones stopped instantly, as if time was frozen.
"Congratulations, you have passed all the tests." The guardian's voice sounded again, with a sense of relief and appreciation. After hearing this, Li Yunfei felt relieved and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, with a tired but satisfied smile on his face.
At this moment, the black book that had been suspended in the air opened automatically, and a powerful force gushed out of the book, flowing into Li Yunfei's body like a spring. Li Yunfei felt the nourishment of this force, and his body gradually recovered. At the same time, he also felt that his strength had been greatly improved.
He closed his eyes, feeling the power surging in his body, his heart filled with joy and gratitude. After this test, he not only gained the recognition of the artifact, but also received the power blessing of this mysterious book, making him even more powerful.
When Li Yunfei opened his eyes again, he found himself in a beautiful garden, surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants, exuding charming fragrance. The sky was as blue as a gem, and the sun shone with warm light, making people feel extremely comfortable and peaceful.
Li Yunfei took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the beauty of nature, and was filled with expectations for the future. He knew that there were more challenges waiting for him, but now he had enough confidence to face everything.
As he walked out of the temple, the sun shone on him, and he knew that he had greater strength to face future challenges.
