The stone lion continued to speak on its own.
“But don’t worry, as long as the King of Stars hasn’t appeared, you can escape at any time. Once the King of Stars takes his throne, you won’t be able to escape, even I, the Lion King, have to obey him. In short, before the King of Stars appears, the hall behind each corridor is safe, and from the first corridor to the fifth, you can’t kill each other, whoever does will die! From the sixth corridor onwards, you can kill as much as you like, the more the better!”
“Also, once you enter this door, you can’t use any treasures that don’t belong to your own power. Of course, ordinary weapons or ink and brush can be used. If it’s something given to you by your elders, you can’t use it at all! Unless, of course, your elders are stronger than the Demon Ancestor, then ignore what I said.”
The stone lion paused for a moment, and no one dared to speak up. It nodded in satisfaction.
“I will give you a piece of ice stone. After using it, you will return here. However, because the Demon Ancestor has gone somewhere to enjoy himself, the power of these ice stones is not as great as before. Remember, after each corridor, you will receive the power of the stars that best fits you! Alright, go in, remember to act according to your abilities, if you’re not strong enough, you might die. Ah, I’m just too kind!”
After the stone lion finished speaking, it opened its mouth and spat out specks of starlight, which turned into ice stones and fell in front of everyone.
Everyone took the ice stones, their minds filled with thoughts of the most compatible star power.
Still, no one dared to speak, all of them obediently watching the stone lion.
The stone lion looked left and right, let out a few light sighs before closing its eyes and lying down to continue sleeping.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Fanming excitedly said, “Did you hear that? There are rewards for passing through the corridors. No wonder the Presented Scholars of the past, even if they didn’t become the King of Stars, their final strength would greatly increase. It must be because they received the power of the God of Literature here. Fang Yun, we’re all benefiting from you. Originally, our chances of becoming a Great Scholar were just average, but now that we’ve entered the Comet Corridor, our chances are much higher than before!”
Everyone was eager to try, wishing they could rush over immediately.
The flaming Hawk Flame slightly lowered its body, its claws curved, and then it forcefully pushed off the ground. Like an arrow leaving the bow, it flew into the foggy door, and the rest of the Demon Barbarians immediately followed, rushing in one after another.
Fang Yun and the other Presented Scholars did not immediately move forward, but instead took out spare ink, brushes, paper, and inkstones from their Swallowed Lake Pearls or Drinking Pearls of the River. They had considered all kinds of situations in front of the Holy Land and were not at all flustered.
After everyone was ready, they quickly moved forward. After only a few steps, an extremely tall Dragon Barbarian blocked the way of all the Presented Scholars. This Dragon Barbarian was twice as tall as a person, and the heads of all the Presented Scholars only reached the abdomen of this Dragon Barbarian. He was like a small mountain.
Ordinary Dragon Barbarians only barely have the head shape of the Dragon Clan, let alone being a Flood Dragon, they can’t even be considered pseudo-dragons. But the head of this Dragon Barbarian not only closely resembled a real dragon, but it was also a pale gold color, and there were even some small dragon scales on the chin area.
The sound of a beating drum came from the heart of this Dragon Barbarian, and under his skin, blood-colored dragon patterns were constantly moving. He exuded a vast and mysterious aura, he was simply a humanoid real dragon, and everyone present felt a sense of crisis as if they were being stared at by a natural enemy.
An invisible force of blood and energy emanated from the Dragon Barbarian’s body, and every human felt that their literary palace, the courage to write, and all their talents were being suppressed. If they were to write a War Poetry at this time, its power would be reduced by at least 20%.
A large group of Barbarians followed behind this Dragon Barbarian, including the Wolf Savage Prince.
“Who is Fang Yun?” The Dragon Barbarian lowered his head, looking down at everyone with cold and contemptuous eyes.
Fang Yun looked into the Dragon Barbarian’s golden eyes with black pupils. “Are you Longling?”
Longling crossed his arms over his chest, coldly staring at Fang Yun, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He said in an unquestionable tone, “Kneel! Be my slave. Or die in the corridor!”
Anger appeared on Fang Yun’s face, but he didn’t look at Longling, instead, he looked at the Wolf Savage Prince. “Back at the Moon God Temple, I said you were the stupidest beast, but now I know. You’re only the second stupidest!”
The Wolf Savage Prince immediately shouted, “Longling, he’s insulting you!”
Longling’s chest heaved, a faint blood light appeared in his eyes. “Lowly human slave, I’ve raised thousands of human slaves, and no one has ever dared to insult me like this! Even if you kneel and beg for mercy now, it’s too late. I will break your legs, tear open your chest, twist your neck, eat your brain, and use your skull as a urinal!”
Fang Yun’s eyes seemed to burst into blazing flames, he retorted, “Indeed, you’re a beast that eats raw meat and drinks blood. Go look in the mirror, with a barbarian body and a dragon head, a wolf’s heart and a dog’s lungs, you’re simply the most mixed breed among mixed breeds! Since we can’t fight privately in the first five corridors, I will teach you what is slow slicing, what is waist chopping, what is dismemberment by five horses outside the sixth corridor!”
“Boom…”
Longling suddenly burst out with a surging blood and energy, the blood and energy burned like blood-colored flames around him, a fierce aura forced all the surrounding Demon Barbarians to retreat.
“Human slave, you dare to call me a mixed breed? You’re dead! I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs, I will kill your entire family, exterminate your whole clan!” Longling’s blood and energy churned within his body, making his body swell by a whole circle.
Fang Yun snorted coldly and walked towards the fog door. “Even a mixed breed dares to insult the human race, it seems we didn’t kill enough Blood Demon Barbarians before. From today onwards, I will kill slowly, kill until there is no one in the Myriad Realms who dares to enslave the human race! No Demon Barbarian dares to say the words ‘human slave’! Starting from the Comet Corridor, starting with you!”Longling’s teeth were grinding, ready to lose control at any moment.
The Wolf Savage Saint glared with bloodshot eyes, cursing, “Fang Yun, you despicable human, you’re doomed! I will swallow my pride and unite all the Demon Barbarians to kill you! Remember, the Sixth Corridor will be your grave! No matter how strong you are, you can’t be a match for all of us Demon Barbarians! If you don’t die, I, Wolf Li, will be a slave for all eternity!”
Fang Yun didn’t even glance at Wolf Li. He strode forward, saying as he walked, “So what if all the Demon Barbarians unite? So what if I die? In this starry sky, if I die, I will rest my head on the stars and my feet on a realm! If I perish, a thousand barbarians will be my coffin, and ten thousand demons will be my tomb!”
“Arrogant slave! I’ll be waiting for you in the Sixth Corridor!” Longling said, before rushing into the fog gate.
The Wolf Savage Saint followed closely, turning back to look at Fang Yun before entering the fog gate, he sneered, “You took my Moon Phase God Stone, I will make you pay with your life! Even if one Longling can’t kill you, there will be more Saints who will. Here, this Comet Corridor, will be your grave!”
Numerous Blood Barbarians cursed at Fang Yun as they disappeared into the fog gate.
A wolf demon showed a cruel smile, glanced at Fang Yun, and leaped into the fog gate.
A white-haired ape demon sighed, whispering, “Ah, I wanted to find a chance to thank you for helping us enter the Demon Ancestor’s gate, but you offended Longling. There’s nothing I can do to help you.”
A star demon barbarian shouted, “Your Majesty Moon Emperor, you must have a share of star blood. We star demon barbarians will never kill you. As for those blood demon barbarians, kill as many as you can, don’t worry about us.”
“If you’re at a disadvantage, we’ll just watch the fun. If you’re winning, we’ll definitely sneak in and kill a few blood demon barbarians!”
“You can’t lose to the blood demon barbarians, Moon Emperor!”
Many of the star demon barbarians born in the Demon Ancestor’s gate showed a tendency to side with Fang Yun.
“I’m going in.” Fang Yun said, stepping into the fog gate.
Niu Shan and the other four demon barbarian generals followed closely.
Li Fanming angrily said, “The demon barbarians are too bullying. Even if I die, I will go to the Sixth Corridor to help you!” After saying that, he entered the fog gate carrying the big rabbit.
“I must go. How can I let Fang Yun fight alone!” Han Shoulu stood up from his wheelchair.
Yan Yukong laughed freely, “I want to see how strong the best Saints of the demon barbarians are. At that time, they can’t use the power granted by the Barbarian Saint, and we can’t use the Treasures of Literature. It will be a fair death battle. See you in the Sixth Corridor.” After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and walked towards the fog gate.
“Ah, I won’t go to the First Corridor first. I’ll try to make a mechanical beast that can help Fang Yun. Once I enter the First Corridor, I can’t use anything.” Ma Xiong said.
Kong Delun sighed lightly, “Fang Yun, what can I say about you? You had to offend Longling, a violent thug. The demon barbarians are mostly madmen. Even if the Wolf Savage Saint instigates, if you ignore Longling, he won’t specifically target you. Now it’s a headache. I don’t want to compete for the King of Stars in the Seventh Corridor. I know my limits, but I have to pass the Sixth Corridor. This is troublesome.”
Weng Ming from the Valley Nation immediately laughed, “It’s simple, we just avoid Fang Yun at that time. There’s no need to help him in the Holy Land.”
Kong Delun showed a puzzled look, looked at Weng Ming, and asked, “If we encounter Fang Yun and the demon barbarians fighting to the death in the Sixth Corridor, won’t you help Fang Yun?”
“Of course, why should I die for Fang Yun?”
“Oh? Then stay away from me, as far as you can! If you dare to step into the City of Confucius, I’ll break your legs!” Kong Delun glanced at Weng Ming coldly and entered the fog gate.
The rest of the Presented Scholars who had been saved by Fang Yun looked at Weng Ming with contempt and entered the fog gate one after another.
Weng Ming stood there in a daze, not expecting Kong Delun to turn his face so quickly.
After most of the demon barbarians had entered the fog gate, Xun Ye said to Weng Ming, “Brother Weng, we are truly in the same boat. If Fang Yun survives the Comet Corridor, our future is worrisome.”
Weng Ming nodded silently and stepped into the fog gate.
As Fang Yun stepped through the fog gate, a bone-chilling coldness attacked him, piercing through his clothes and into his marrow.
Fang Yun subconsciously hugged his arms and looked around in confusion. This body had undergone five Heavenly Qi Descents, and had experienced both the God of Literature’s Movement and the God of Literature’s Illumination. Even if thrown into the far north, it would only feel cool, not cold, let alone having consumed three Dragon Pearls. Yet, this body was unable to resist the cold here.
A gust of cold wind blew, and 99% of the demon barbarians shivered slightly, hissing in their mouths. Some demon barbarians had to release their blood and Qi, while the human Presented Scholars had to release the power of The Courage to Write.
Only the strongest demon barbarians resisted the cold wind with their bodies. (To be continued.)
