Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 177 The Corpse of Zhan Shanfeng

Shayuan!

The gray land was filled with deathly silence, and the sky was even more obscure and unclear.

A white palace stands in the distance.

That is the imperial mausoleum.

The imperial mausoleum is very eye-catching, entirely constructed of white jade, so smooth that it reflects the sky.

Originally, a white tomb would appear very magnificent, noble, holy and serene.

But this white was more like the eerie white of a funeral, exuding gloom everywhere, and the smooth jade could not wash away this sense of death.

And the one who lives inside is none other than the ancient king known as the most brilliant strategist!
Mo Fan and the others climbed the white stone steps...

Upon arriving at the main gate of the tomb, we saw a strange large bronze mirror!
Fang Gu and Su Xiaoluo revealed the origin of the large bronze mirror.

This is the Evil Eye Bronze Mirror, which can project images of the imperial tombs onto the outside world through the Kun Well in the dangerous village.

Without delay, the five people quickly stepped into the white tomb.

After walking through a long gallery, I saw what appeared to be lithographs from the ancient Wang's personal collection hanging on both sides.

Lithographs contain a kind of spiritual trap. Once you fall into the trap of a particular painting, it's like being trapped in an illusion or dream, from which you can hardly extricate yourself.

Fortunately, the ancient precepts of Weiju Village mentioned this, and Su Xiaoluo happened to know it. She informed everyone, so they were not affected by the mental illusion.

After passing through the gallery, a vast and spacious front palace appeared before them. The entire front palace was built of pale white stone and jade, and the floor was so smooth that one could see their own reflection...

The pillars stood tall, each requiring four or five people to encircle, and were covered with densely packed runes that Mo Fan couldn't understand at all.

The former palace seemed to be empty, devoid of anything.

There was only one stone platform in the very center, on which sat a crystal-clear enchanting lotus, which emitted a captivating fragrance when approached.

"Eternal Lotus!"

“This demonic lotus is the immortal lotus. Ancient teachings say that the bridge leading to the altar will only appear when the immortal lotus dies,” Fang Gu said.

Zhang Xiaohou was very direct, casting spells one after another in an attempt to crush it, but the Immortal Lotus would regenerate on its own, making it completely useless.

Mo Fan noticed that the little mudfish on the Sacred Totem pendant began to tremble.

See this.

Mo Fan held the Eternal Lotus firmly in his hand. He pondered for a while, and considering that the Little Mudfish Pendant was somewhat special and he didn't want others to see it, he simply walked to a dead corner of the front hall.

The little mudfish has its own absorption ability. When the demon lotus is placed there, the entire demon lotus shrinks into an incomparably bright beam of soul light and is gradually absorbed into the little mudfish pendant.

After eating the demonic lotus, the little mudfish finally stopped trembling.

But the light almost illuminated the entire former palace, making the pale palace suddenly much brighter...

Before long, the Immortal Lotus showed signs of withering!
Meanwhile, the little mudfish pendant, which had absorbed the energy of the Immortal Lotus, began to recover on its own, regaining some of its power.

Simultaneously.

It then fed back a strange power to Mo Fan, who immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and channeled the demonic lotus power sent by the little mudfish into his fire-type nebula.

It felt as if blood was about to gush from his surging veins. Mo Fan's entire body turned a deep crimson, and with the flames burning all over him, he was on the verge of a volcanic eruption.

"Ooooooooooooo!!!!"

With a roar, a fiery phoenix formed from crimson flames and flew out from Mo Fan's body, soaring to the top of the front hall and creating a breathtaking cloud of fire!

Ultimately, he successfully broke through to the higher level.

The Immortal Lotus withered completely.

A bridge leading to the altar appears.

Next, after crossing the bridge, you will see the king on the ancient altar.

The arch bridge is not the kind of small bridge over a stream, but a magnificent and imposing flying arch bridge. Its gray-white bridge body is like a dragon soaring and disappearing into the deeper darkness.

There are ten arch bridges in total, and you can't see the end of them when you look at them... Of the ten bridges, nine are deadly and one is alive!
Only one of them leads to the altar throne; the other nine are all dead zones!

finally.

Fang Gu chose a single path to enter it.

Mo Fan and his companions, however, chose to live and die together, and entered the cave together.

……

The sky outside was gradually darkening.

Rain once again blanketed the ancient capital.

A corner of the battlefield.

Lu Huan flew into the rain-streaked sky and began to fight the enormous, pale white Skeleton Lord.

Lu Huan primarily used super-level magic, but he also effortlessly incorporated high-level magic into his spells.

White waves rolled across the sky, emitting a roar that could be heard throughout the inner city.

Like a sea surging between the sky and the earth, its turbulence and magnificence are breathtaking, comparable to a tsunami that sweeps across a beach several kilometers long!

They blocked the Lord of the Underworld.

Because he foresaw in advance that the Abyss of Fiends would descend upon the ancient capital, Lu Huan was not swept away and perished as he was in the original story.

……

Another corner of the battlefield.

"Ku~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

The corpse of the mountain stared at Fang Yu, whose body emanated several different flame auras.

Normally, the Corpse of the Mountain would never pay attention to the aura of other creatures. Under its overwhelming Corpse King's pressure, the aura of any life was insignificant. But at this moment, it could sense a dangerous energy lurking within this tiny body...

The corpse on the mountain peak's gaze sharpened, and suddenly its crimson eyes emitted two beams of blood-red death light!
The death ray shot straight towards where Fang Yu was...

Suddenly, the totem snake flew across and surrounded Fang Yu. In an instant, the two became blurry, like shadows in water fading away under a ripple.

The totem serpent rode the mist and soared into the sky, unleashing its innate demonic magic. Countless ancient rocks coalesced into a massive celestial monument, which crashed down with unerring accuracy onto the mountain corpse.

Fang Yu, standing atop the totem serpent's head, also joined the serpent's attack.

"Scorching Sun!"

Fang Yu shouted.

In an instant, the blazing sun slanted across the vast sky, leaving a long trail of fire in the dark and indistinct clouds!
It was a small celestial body that created flames from friction with the air, which crashed onto the corpse on the mountain peak.

It was struck by two powerful attacks.

The colossal body of the mountain peak retreated several steps, covering a distance of several hundred meters.

This time, the mountain corpse was severely injured; its collarbone was blasted open and burned, and its entire body was covered with burn marks.

"Huh~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

The mountain corpse was utterly enraged. It immediately raised one of its arms, swung it through the dense clouds, and unleashed a devastating torrent of force that crashed down!

"Boom!"

The inner city trembled violently. The mountain corpse's arm was the divine hammer that had fallen from the heavens. This fall caused the earth to shake violently, and an entire block could be seen instantly turning into dust, whether it was the buildings or the cement-paved streets...

This entire block was at least a kilometer long and wide; to raze it to the ground and reduce it to nothingness with a single effort—the power behind it is truly astonishing!
In the dust-covered neighborhood, a deep pit remained, but the Totem Serpent and Fang Yu slowly propped themselves up and climbed up as if nothing had happened.

As if enraged, three-colored flames danced wildly around Fang Yu.

Fang Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his pupils, which had gradually turned into three colors, met the towering mountain corpse's gaze once more.

"Rumble rumble rumble~~~~~~~~~~~!!"

Above the higher sky, a vast expanse of tricolored flames fell without warning, tearing a huge rift between heaven and earth, connecting the sky above and striking the earth below!
The three-colored, towering flames landed precisely on Fang Yu. Rather than falling, it would be more accurate to say that the towering flames were poured onto the body of the possessing totem-like, malevolent spirit!
