Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After subduing Fenglei Nuyan, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er did not stop. Following the guidance of the jade pendant, they came to a strange fantasy place.

The place was filled with colorful mist, making people feel like they were in the clouds, unable to tell east from west, south from north. The air was filled with strange energy fluctuations, faintly revealing mystery and danger.

"Brother Xiao, this place is so strange, I feel a little uneasy." Lin Wan'er frowned slightly and leaned close to Xiao Muchen. There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

Xiao Muchen held the Star Sword in his hand and said with a firm look: "Wan'er, don't be afraid. I am here to protect you." His eyes were firm, as if they could penetrate the thick fog.

They moved forward cautiously. The ground beneath their feet was sometimes soft as cotton, making it difficult for them to move forward; sometimes it was hard as iron, freezing cold.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, mixed with countless sharp ice blades. The ice blades whistled in the wind, flashing cold light, like a group of deadly darts.

Xiao Muchen was quick-witted and swift-handed, wielding the Star Sword like a gust of wind, instantly forming an impenetrable sword curtain. The sword body collided with the ice blade, making a crisp sound, splashing tiny bits of ice. Every collision aroused a wave of energy fluctuations. Xiao Muchen's arm was slightly numb, but his eyes remained firm, his teeth clenched, and the sword in his hand swung faster and faster, blocking wave after wave of ice blades.

Lin Wan'er also quickly cast a spell, and as her hands danced, rays of light flew out from her hands. The rays of light gathered together to create a shining protective barrier for Xiao Muchen. This barrier was like a transparent shield, emitting a soft light, tightly wrapping Xiao Muchen in it and reducing the impact of the ice blade.

"This illusion is really weird, there is such an attack." Xiao Muchen said in a deep voice. His forehead was covered with sweat, but there was no fear in his eyes.

As they continued to go deeper, the surrounding scene began to change. One moment, there was a blazing sea of fire, with rolling heat waves, as if it was going to burn everything to ashes; the next moment, there was a bottomless swamp, emitting a foul smell that made people shudder.

In the sea of fire, a huge fire beast burst out from the flames. It was as big as a mountain, with flames burning all over its body, and every breath it took spewed out hot flames. The fire beast pounced on them with its fangs and claws bared, and wherever it passed, the flames burned more fiercely.

Xiao Muchen shouted, "Come on!" The fighting spirit on the Star Sword surged, shining brightly, and he faced the flaming beast. His figure shuttled through the flames like a flash of lightning. The sword collided with the claws of the beast, making a loud noise and sparks flying.

However, the fire beast was so powerful that Xiao Muchen's attack only caused a few sparks and did not cause much damage to it. The fire beast roared and pounced again, spewing a huge column of flames from its mouth.

"Try the newly acquired strange fire!" Lin Wan'er reminded anxiously.

Xiao Muchen's mind moved, and he mobilized the power of Wind, Thunder and Fury. In an instant, his Star Sword was wrapped in purple flames, and lightning flashed in the flames, crackling. The purple flames and the surrounding sea of fire reflected each other, appearing even more mysterious and powerful.

Xiao Muchen swung his sword at the flame beast, and the powerful force of the strange fire instantly made the flame beast feel threatened. The purple flame carried a blazing high temperature and violent lightning power, and wherever it went, the flame of the flame beast was suppressed. Blackened marks appeared on the flame beast's body. It roared angrily and spewed out even hotter flames to try to resist, but it seemed pale and powerless in front of the wind and thunder.

Xiao Muchen took the opportunity to change the momentum of his sword, and stabbed it straight into the beast's eyes as nimbly as a swimming dragon. The flame beast hurriedly turned its head to avoid it, but Xiao Muchen was faster, and the sword brushed the beast's cheek, leaving a deep scar.

Lin Wan'er continued to cast spells, the staff in her hand flashed, and brilliant spell lights shot towards the flame beast, interfering with its movements. Some spell lights turned into ice arrows, shooting at the beast's legs; some spell lights turned into whirlwinds, trying to blow the beast down.

With the close cooperation between Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er, the flame beast gradually fell into a disadvantage. Its movements became slower and its attacks were no longer as fierce. Xiao Muchen seized the opportunity and stabbed the flame beast's eyes with the violent force of the Wind, Thunder and Fury.

"Ouch!" The fire beast roared in pain, and its huge body began to shake. Xiao Muchen exerted force again, and the sword stirred inside the beast, destroying its internal structure. Finally, the beast fell to the ground with a bang, and turned into a ball of fire and dissipated.

However, before they could catch their breath, the surrounding scenery changed again and they came to a land of ice and snow.

A giant eagle like an ice sculpture descended from the sky, flapping its wings, bringing gusts of cold wind and ice spikes. The ice spikes shot at them like a rain of arrows, densely packed, leaving them nowhere to escape. Xiao Muchen quickly waved the Star Sword, blocking the ice spikes one after another. The sword body collided with the ice spikes, making a tinkling sound, and ice chips flew everywhere.

Xiao Muchen once again used the Wind and Thunder Flame, and the high temperature of the strange fire instantly melted the surrounding ice and snow, turning them into steam. The attack rhythm of the ice sculpture giant eagle was disrupted, and Xiao Muchen took the opportunity to fly up and point his sword at the giant eagle.

The giant eagle screamed, and its claws were like hooks, grabbing Xiao Muchen. Xiao Muchen dodged sideways and swung his sword at the giant eagle's claws. The giant eagle nimbly dodged, flapped its wings, and a gust of wind blew Xiao Muchen back. Xiao Muchen adjusted his body shape in the air and landed steadily.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er waved her staff, and a beam of ice-blue light shot towards the giant eagle's eyes, temporarily restraining it. The giant eagle's eyes were hit by the light, temporarily blinding it, and it flapped its wings randomly in the air.

Xiao Muchen seized the opportunity and rushed forward again, engaging in a fierce close combat with the giant ice eagle. His sword left a series of sword marks on the giant eagle, and the giant eagle's attack also put him in danger. The giant eagle's claws scratched his shoulder, and blood stained his clothes red; the giant eagle's wings flapped on his back, causing him to feel a sharp pain.

"Wan'er, help me!" Xiao Muchen shouted.

Lin Wan'er understood, and muttered something to herself. The staff in her hand shone brightly, and a powerful magic light shot towards the ice-carved giant eagle like a meteor. The magic light hit the giant eagle's back, causing it to stagnate.

With the tacit cooperation of the two, Xiao Muchen finally found the weakness of the giant eagle and stabbed it into its neck with a sword. The ice sculpture giant eagle screamed, fell from the sky, and turned into a pile of ice.

"This strange fire is really powerful!" Xiao Muchen panted and said. His face was full of fatigue, but his eyes were full of the joy of victory.

At this moment, the surrounding scene changed again, and they came to an ancient palace.

The palace gate was closed, with mysterious runes engraved on it. The runes flashed with strange light, as if telling ancient secrets.

Xiao Muchen walked forward and tried to push the door open, but found that the door did not move at all. He used all his strength, but the door still did not respond.

"There must be something mysterious about this door." Lin Wan'er said. She walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the door.

Xiao Muchen carefully observed the runes on the door, and suddenly, he found that the arrangement of the runes seemed to have a certain pattern. Some of these runes were large, some were small, some were bright, and some were dim. They seemed to be chaotic, but in fact, they contained mysteries.

He injected his fighting spirit into the runes according to the rules, and the door slowly opened. An ancient and mysterious aura gushed out from the door, making people feel an invisible pressure.

Inside the door, there was a dazzling light that made it impossible to look directly at it. Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er had no choice but to close their eyes and wait for the light to fade.

When the light faded, they saw various precious treasures and secret books placed in the palace. There were weapons that exuded a powerful aura, secret books that contained deep fighting spirit, and various precious gems and medicinal materials.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er were about to go forward to check when suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.

"This is my territory, anyone who trespasses will die!" The figure exuded a powerful aura, which made people shudder. The figure was shrouded in a layer of mist, and his face could not be seen clearly, but from the aura emanating from him, one could feel how powerful he was.

Xiao Muchen was not afraid at all and said, "Why are you so domineering? These treasures belong to those who are destined to get them." His voice was firm and he held the Star Sword tightly in his hand.

"Hmph, then let's see if you have the ability!" The figure said, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Xiao Muchen in an instant, raised his hand and slapped him. The palm wind was sharp and carried a powerful force.

Xiao Muchen raised his sword to meet the attack, and with a "bang", Xiao Muchen was knocked back several steps. His arms felt numb, and the blood in his chest surged.

Lin Wan'er waved her staff, and a spell attacked the figure. The figure dodged sideways, swung back, and a powerful force rushed towards Lin Wan'er.

Xiao Muchen flew in front of Lin Wan'er and took the blow head-on. His body was blown away by the force and hit hard against the wall of the palace.

"Senior Brother Xiao!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed.

Xiao Muchen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, let's go together!" He got up from the ground and once again used the Wind and Thunder Fury Sword. The Star Sword, with the power of the strange fire, started a fierce confrontation with the figure.

It turns out that this illusion is created based on the strength of the person undergoing the trial. Although Xiao Muchen has reached the middle stage of Dou Zong, the strength of the enemy in this illusion will be adjusted accordingly to achieve the purpose of trial and training. So even if Xiao Muchen is strong, he cannot easily win against the enemy in the illusion.

After a fierce battle, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er gradually found the weakness of the figure. The two of them cooperated tacitly, Xiao Muchen stabbed the weakness of the figure with a sword, and Lin Wan'er used magic to cover it. In the end, the figure gradually dissipated under their attack.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er sat on the ground exhausted, breathing heavily, but their eyes were full of joy because they successfully passed the test.
