I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

The deep passage was like the throat of a giant beast, swallowing all light. Lei Yi took a deep breath and stepped inside. Behind him, the stone door slammed shut, blocking out all sound from the outside world.

The passage was not long, and after a while, Lei Yi arrived at an open underground space.

The place was brightly lit, yet deserted. In the center of the hall, a massive circular formation floated, countless intricate runes flowing within it, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Is this the second trial?" Lei Yi looked at the formation in front of him and felt secretly alert.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Lei Yi. It was the pale-faced Young Master Yan Yang.

"You've also passed the first level?" Young Master Yan Yang's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Lei Yi, and then he snorted coldly, "However, this second level is not so easy to pass. This is a formation passed down from ancient times. If you know what's good for you, just quit obediently to avoid wasting your time."

Lei Yi ignored Young Master Yan Yang's provocation. He walked straight to the formation and carefully observed every detail of it.

The runes within the formation were incredibly complex. Although Lei Yi had some knowledge of formations, he was still completely bewildered by such a complex formation. He tried to use his spiritual power to touch the formation, but found that there was an invisible barrier on the surface of the formation, blocking him out.

Young Master Yan Yang saw Lei Yi's actions and a mocking smile appeared on his face. He took out a jade slip from his bosom, placed it between his eyebrows, and began to study it carefully.

Time passed minute by minute, Lei Yi and Young Master Yan Yang were concentrating on studying the formation, but they still couldn't find a way to break it.

"Damn it, what on earth is going on with this formation?" Young Master Yan Yang couldn't help but curse. He studied it for a long time but had no clue, and he became more and more anxious.

Lei Yi frowned as he carefully observed the shape and arrangement of each rune in the formation, as well as the trajectory of the flow between them, trying to find some patterns from it.

Suddenly, Lei Yi's eyes fell on an inconspicuous corner at the edge of the formation. There were several runes there that were slightly different from the other runes. Their colors were darker and their arrangement was a bit strange.

"That's..." Lei Yi's heart stirred, and a bold guess came to his mind. He slowly stretched out his hand and approached the runes...

Lei Yi's fingertips gently touched the dim runes, and a strange energy wave instantly spread throughout the formation. The runes, which had been flowing regularly, seemed to be disturbed, and began to flicker, and the energy in the center of the formation also fluctuated.

"What are you doing!" Young Master Yan Yang, who had been keeping an eye on Lei Yi, was horrified when he saw this and shouted, "Are you crazy? If you destroy the formation, you and I will both die here!"

Lei Yi ignored Young Master Yan Yang's roar. He concentrated on sensing the energy fluctuations from his fingertips, his mind constantly deducing various possibilities. These rune combinations were completely different from any array formation he knew, even unheard of.

"Could it be..." Lei Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a bold guess came to his mind.

Outside the formation, Dongfang Liuli was anxiously waiting. The entrance to the passage was blocked, preventing her from seeing what was going on inside. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping Lei Yi would be safe.

"Miss Liuli, don't worry too much," the guarding Spirit Wind Envoy noticed Dongfang Liuli's anxiety and consoled her. "This second level tests the inheritor's comprehension. As long as one can grasp the mysteries of the formation, they will naturally pass. Young Master Lei is very talented, and I believe he will pass it smoothly."

Dongfang Liuli forced a smile, but her worry didn't diminish in the slightest. She knew Lei Yi. Although he appeared cynical on the surface, he was actually a meticulous thinker, possessing a perseverance and determination unmatched by ordinary people. If he chose to try, he must be confident.

At this moment, within the formation, Lei Yi was completely immersed in his own world. He ignored Young Master Yan Yang's shouting and cursing, and forgot the passage of time. His eyes were only focused on those few strange runes.

"I see..." Lei Yi's lips curled up slightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He had finally found the key. These seemingly insignificant rune combinations weren't a flaw in the formation, but more like... a key.

Lei Yi took a deep breath, his eyes becoming resolute. He began to mobilize his spiritual energy according to his own ideas, carefully guiding the energy flow in the formation, trying to touch the "key".

Young Master Yan Yang watched Lei Yi's series of bizarre actions, his face filled with mockery and disdain. "You overestimate your own abilities! I think you've gone completely mad!" However, the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, staring at everything happening before his eyes in disbelief...

Lei Yi ignored Young Master Yan Yang's taunts. He concentrated on controlling the spiritual energy within his body, injecting strands of pure energy into the formation. He surmised that these runes didn't need to be deciphered, but rather activated. Like a lock, instead of searching for a tool to unlock it, it's better to simply find the key and gently twist it.

As Lei Yi moved, the energy fluctuations within the formation grew more intense, and the previously dim runes began to gleam with dazzling light. These lights intertwined, gradually forming a strange pattern, and a powerful energy wave spread from the center of the pattern.

"What is he doing? Has he found a solution?" The mocking look on Young Master Yan Yang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression. Although he was reluctant to admit it, everything before him forced him to believe that Lei Yi seemed to have found a way to solve this difficult problem.

"Impossible! How could this kid find the solution before me!" Young Master Yan Yang roared in his heart. He was unwilling to lose to Lei Yi like this, and even more unwilling to lose the opportunity to inherit this inheritance.

He rushed forward, trying to stop Lei Yi's actions, but at this moment, the light in the formation suddenly surged, forming a huge energy vortex that enveloped both him and Lei Yi.

"Ah!" Young Master Yan Yang screamed, flung back by the powerful energy wave and falling heavily to the ground. Lei Yi, however, remained motionless. The energy waves around him seemed to have no effect on him. Instead, they were guided by his aura and slowly merged into his body.

"It's done!" Lei Yi's eyes flashed with brilliance. He quickly formed seals with his hands and injected the last bit of spiritual power into the formation.

"Buzz!"

With a roar, the formation's light shone brightly, then quickly dissipated, revealing the previously empty hall. Lei Yi appeared in the center of the hall, and behind him, the passage leading to the next level had opened.

"This...how is this possible..." Young Master Yan Yang struggled to get up from the ground, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Lei Yi ignored Young Master Yan Yang's shock. He walked towards the passage with a confident smile on his face.

"Wait!" Young Master Yan Yang suddenly roared, his eyes flashing with madness, "I haven't lost yet! So what if you pass? As long as I kill you, I can still..."

Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed. He looked down at his chest and saw a deep wound that had appeared there at some point, with blood gushing out.

"you……"

"You..." Young Master Yan Yang's eyes widened in disbelief, his voice trailing off. He looked down at the deep wound on his chest, blood staining his clothes and blurring his vision. To his death, he never understood how Lei Yi had managed to injure him so severely without a scratch.

Lei Yi ignored Young Master Yan Yang's disbelief. He withdrew his hand indifferently, turned around, and stepped into the passage behind him. The passage slowly closed behind him, isolating Young Master Yan Yang's desperate cries and the lingering light of the formation.

"Congratulations, you have successfully cracked the 'Xuan Ji' formation." An old voice sounded in Lei Yi's ears. At the same time, an old man in a green robe appeared in front of him out of thin air. It was the Lingfeng Messenger he had seen outside the inheritance land before.

"Thank you, Senior." Lei Yi bowed, his expression neither humble nor arrogant. He knew this was only part of the trial; the real challenge was yet to come.

"No need for formalities. Your ability to decipher the 'Mysterious' formation is proof of your talent and understanding." The Spirit Wind Messenger stroked his beard, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. "Next, you will face even more severe tests. I hope you can maintain your original aspirations and forge ahead courageously."

"I will do my best." Lei Yi answered firmly.

The Spirit Wind Messenger nodded, his figure gradually faded and disappeared on the spot.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Liuli, anxiously waiting outside the inheritance site, suddenly sensed a powerful energy surge emanating from deep within the site. Delighted, she knew the surge came from Lei Yi, indicating he had successfully cracked the formation.

"Lei Yi, you really didn't let me down!" Dongfang Liuli murmured to herself, her eyes full of pride and satisfaction.

However, her joy did not last long, because she felt that the energy fluctuations coming from the depths of the inheritance land were becoming more and more intense, and were accompanied by a heart-pounding pressure.

"This is..." Dongfang Liuli's face changed slightly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, "Could something have happened in the inheritance land?"

She didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately flew towards the depths of the inheritance site, trying to find out what had happened.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the inheritance land, Lei Yi was sitting cross-legged, his body enveloped by a dazzling light. This light came from the core power of the inheritance land, and it was also the inherited power that the powerful people of all generations had dreamed of.

"Come on!" Lei Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, "Let me see how powerful this inherited power is!"

He opened his arms, actively welcoming the baptism of the power of inheritance. An invisible wave of energy spread out from him, and the entire inheritance land began to vibrate violently...

"Not good!" Dongfang Liuli, who had just arrived, felt the devastating energy fluctuations and his face changed drastically. "This power is beyond what Lei Yi can bear!"

She wanted to step forward to stop him, but was bounced back by an invisible force and could not get close to Lei Yi at all.

"Lei Yi, you must hold on!" Dongfang Liuli could only pray in her heart, hoping that Lei Yi would be safe.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly rang out from the depths of the inheritance land. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds...
