Chapter 1214 Despair and Dawn
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The deafening sound of energy collisions was wildly stirring, continuously echoing in the hall shrouded in darkness and blood.
Lei Xiao was seen with purple light flashing all over his body, swinging Rolandel with all his might to resist his opponent's unscrupulous bombardment.
Directly opposite Lei Xiao, the giant scythe swung by the mysterious entity emitted dark and blood-red energy waves that were overwhelming and continuously shot towards Lei Xiao.
Those dozens of meters long, cold blood-dark energy waves emitting violence and rage formed a sharp contrast with Lei Xiao's constantly shaking upright body.
The latter is like a small boat floating in the bloody storm, which may capsize at any time and face a catastrophic disaster.
Although with the help of the Pelican Princess, Lei Xiao was able to barely resolve the opponent's deadly and fierce attack, but that was all.
Every time he swung his sword to block, Lei Xiao felt as if a mountain was crushing his head. Not only was his palm almost numb from the shock, but the energy in his body was also being consumed at a very fast rate.
Although the tree trunk inlaid with the last three [God's Stones] was not far away, for Lei Xiao, this close distance seemed so far away.
What's more crucial is that with the continuous and crazy absorption, the strength of the mysterious existence is still rising. Even if they try their best to destroy the forbidden tree, they will never be the opponent's opponent.
In other words, as the mysterious existence becomes stronger and stronger, and we are unable to defeat it, we have already lost the last glimmer of hope for victory.
No, the entire human world, including his own territory, subordinates, and lords of other alien worlds, will be completely shrouded in an indispellable black fog, and in the end only death and corpses will be left.
For a moment, an extreme feeling of powerlessness rose from the bottom of Lei Xiao's heart, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss with no bottom to be seen.
Lei Xiao could clearly feel that even Fei'er, who had always been full of fighting spirit, was also extremely depressed and was just trying her best to help him resist the attack.
But both Lei Xiao and Fei'er understood clearly that if the situation continued, we would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"Now that we have come this far, is this the end of it?"
A hint of hesitation first appeared in Lei Xiao's eyes, but he soon became firm again.
He first struggled to resist a new wave of dark energy, and then said with high spirits: "I have said it before, as long as I am still standing here, hope will never be extinguished."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao concentrated his mind again, clenched his teeth to resist the opponent's attack, and said to Fei'er in his heart: "Your Highness Princess Pelican, this was once your palace, but now it is used as a hotbed of destruction and death by the son chosen by the evil god. You won't just give up like this, right?"
"You know, this is your home ground!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's voice, Fei'er was silent for a moment, and then said in Lei Xiao's heart: "Young man, you are right."
"I am a member of the royal family of the Silver Fire Kingdom. I was once the protector of the human world and a chosen child favored by the gods. How could I be discouraged by a conceited evil god's chosen child? This is simply a fantasy!"
Fei'er's voice became more and more excited, and then she said to Lei Xiao a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, young man, I lost my composure just now, and I almost fell into the abyss of despair and couldn't extricate myself."
"It's okay. This is just human nature. Your Highness, don't worry about it."
Lei Xiao's voice revealed a bit of solemnity, and he said seriously: "Let us continue to fight side by side."
"I see. Let's start by neutralizing the opponent's attack!"
As Phil's voice of boiling fighting spirit fell, Rolandel in Lei Xiao's hand suddenly emitted a bright purple light and went straight to meet the opponent's bloody dark energy wave.
This time, Lei Xiao not only successfully resolved the opponent's attack, but also stood against the current, completely stabilizing his body, no longer shaking in the storm like before.
"Small ants are really tenacious."
The mysterious being immediately sensed Lei Xiao's change, and a hint of mockery surged across his distorted face, and he said with murderous intent, "Then I'll see how long you can hold out!"
After saying that, the mysterious being swung a hundred-meter-long sickle, and this time rushed straight towards Lei Xiao.
boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang that shook the earth, Lei Xiao retreated dozens of steps in the violent energy gale before he managed to stabilize his body.
You know, with the assistance of Fei'er, the chosen son of God, and Lei Xiao, who can already use the power of God and successfully step into the fifth level, his overall combat power is even better than the combined strength of the three Bing brothers.
After all, the opponent possesses the power of anti-magic, which makes the old alchemist Joniel almost useless.
But even so, Lei Xiao still clearly understood that facing a mysterious existence whose strength had reached the half-step seventh level and was even rising, a head-on confrontation was by no means a wise choice.
Because this is not just a simple fight against a mysterious existence, the energy of the entire human world is also being sucked away.
Lei Xiao had just stood firm when the mysterious existence followed him like a shadow. The black light of his sickle flashed again and he launched a powerful attack.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
There was another series of earth-shaking energy collisions. Facing the increasingly powerful mysterious existence, Lei Xiao was in a mess and began to retreat again. He was in an extremely passive state.
"Young man, if you keep going at this pace, it won't be long before the other party truly reaches the seventh level!"
Fei'er's extremely solemn voice sounded, but it also revealed a hint of powerlessness.
"Your Highness Princess Pelican, I've already said it before, this is your home court!"
Under the opponent's reckless and fierce attack, although his palm was completely numb, Lei Xiao still gritted his teeth and said to Fei'er in his heart: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess was able to hide the staff in the throne without being discovered by the opponent, then perhaps the turning point is still in your hands!"
"On my body?"
Fei'er was obviously stunned, and said in a somewhat bewildered tone: "I'm sorry, young man, I seem to have slept for too long, and I can't remember many things."
"Your Highness, just keep your eyes on the inside and outside of this palace!"
As the mysterious being's attack became more and more frantic, blood oozed from Lei Xiao's mouth, but he was still trying to find the last ray of light to break the darkness, and continued to prompt: "Is there any magic mechanism or similar high-level trap that can help here?"
"I'm sorry, young man. I checked when you signed the contract just now. Although my palace was indeed equipped with magical traps set by demigods, they have all been ineffective long ago."
Feeling the turmoil in Lei Xiao's body, Fei'er's voice once again revealed a hint of nervousness, and responded: "I really can't think of any other means to resist the opponent..."
Before Fei'er could finish her words, Lei Xiao was obviously still unwilling to give up. His dark eyes lit up, and he obviously remembered something, and blurted out: "Oh, and there is also the Temple of Dawn!"
The Temple of Dawn that Lei Xiao mentioned was naturally the miraculous building of the Temple of Light that old Lorenz had mentioned before.
It was precisely because of this miraculous building that those fallen rebels were able to stand up again, causing great trouble to us.
According to old Lorenz's description, the Temple of Dawn is also deep in this hall.
From this, it is not difficult to see that since this was once the palace of the Pelican Princess, it was also regarded by the Temple of Light as the most confidential and mysterious main hall.
Then, it is very likely that the Temple of Dawn was once a part of this palace and has remained to this day.
Or maybe, it was because the founder of the Temple of Light accidentally discovered this miraculous building that he relied on the miraculous building to make this place the main hall of the Temple of Light.
In any case, this undoubtedly proves one thing, that is, Pelican Princess Fei'er is the real owner of the Temple of Dawn!
If this is true, you know, this is a miracle building left over from the blank era, and it might be the key to turning the tide of the war!
"Temple of Dawn?"
However, Fei'er obviously did not understand what Lei Xiao meant, and said puzzledly: "But I have never heard of the Temple of Dawn."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao's heart sank immediately, and the hope that had just been ignited was about to be shattered again.
But after thinking about it, Lei Xiao immediately reacted.
By the way, the Temple of Dawn is just the name of the Temple of Light. Perhaps the miracle building was not originally called this name!
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and blurted out: "Princess, think about your miracle building!"
"Miracle building?"
Fei'er paused for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "Oh, right, there is indeed a miraculous building standing in my palace!"
"That was the coming-of-age gift my father gave me. Two demigod-level warriors from the Silver Fire Kingdom participated in its construction!"
As she spoke, Fei'er's voice became more excited, and she said to Lei Xiao: "Young man, thank you for your reminder. That miraculous building is called the Tower of Dawn. As long as we enter there, we can grasp the dawn of hope again!"
"What are you waiting for?"
Lei Xiao didn't have time to ask about the specific function of the miracle building. He frowned and asked, "How should we get there?"
"Just behind the giant tree trunk, there is a hidden door leading directly to the courtyard where the Tower of Dawn is located!"
Fei'er responded with a high-pitched voice.
"Got it, we'll be there soon!"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then his body shook. Countless phantoms suddenly emerged, trying to block the sight of the mysterious existence again.
"Ant, I am only half a step away from becoming a demigod, so stop showing off these little tricks!"
The mysterious being snorted coldly, and a blood-red storm suddenly surged around his body.
Wherever the storm filled with murderous energy swept, all the phantoms of Lei Xiao just appeared and then disappeared, leaving only Lei Xiao's real body rushing towards the side and rear of the dark red tree trunk.
"How dare you leave your back to me? You are courting death!"
The mysterious being sneered, and murderous intent was immediately revealed in his turbid eyes. In just a moment, he had arrived behind Lei Xiao, and the giant sickle slashed straight at the latter's neck.
As the scythe whizzed past, crushing space, the mysterious being was surprised to find.
The extremely sharp dark blade actually passed through the thick energy barrier covering Lei Xiao's body, as if it was cutting through the air.
That's exactly what happened.
The moment the giant sickle filled with murderous energy touched "Lei Xiao", the figure of "Lei Xiao" instantly changed from real to illusory, and soon completely dissipated into the air.
“Is this also an illusion?”
The mysterious being's eyes suddenly shrank, and its vast perception instantly opened up, allowing it to make further discoveries.
The real Lei Xiao had already opened the secret passage at the rear side of the hall, quickly slipped in, and disappeared at the entrance of the passage.
"Asshole, no matter what tricks you play, you can't escape my giant scythe!"
The turbid eyeballs of the mysterious being flashed a dark red, and then turned into a black light, chasing after it closely.
At the same time, Lei Xiao was speeding through a secret passage that was like a maze, following Fei'er's instructions.
Just now, the reason why Lei Xiao was able to hide from the eyes of the mysterious existence was that while he used the Mirage Body Technique to run fast, he also used a sixth-level phantom scroll to create an illusion that was completely consistent with his own energy fluctuations. Only then was he able to successfully enter the passage under double cover.
At the same time, the sixth-level phantom scroll that was upgraded from the fifth-level phantom scroll in Catherine's hand was also the last sixth-level scroll in Lei Xiao's body.
"Your Highness, how long will it take to reach the Miracle Building?"
Feeling the mysterious existence approaching rapidly from behind, Lei Xiao, who was speeding in the narrow passage, frowned and asked in his heart.
"Young man, just call me Wu Fei'er. We have been together through life and death for many times. Why should we be so distant with each other?"
Fei'er's voice immediately rang out, responding: "The exit is just ahead!"
As Fei'er finished speaking, Lei Xiao's vision suddenly became clear.
This is a rather large underground space, also densely covered with dark red branches and blooming strange flowers, and a fishy smell is overwhelming.
In the middle of the underground space, there is the shadow of a large building. Although it faintly exudes the splendor of a miracle building, it is shrouded in thick black fog.
Looking carefully, Lei Xiao felt strange that the large building was not the tower as Fei'er described, but more like a temple.
"Right there! That's the spire of the Tower of Dawn. The tower itself should still be hidden underground!"
Fei'er's voice revealed a bit of urgency, and she said to Lei Xiao: "As long as we get in there, we will be one step closer to our hope!"
"understood."
Looking at the miraculous building shrouded in black mist, Lei Xiao flew straight away without hesitation.
Accompanied by a gust of wind sweeping over, Lei Xiao soon arrived near the miracle building.
However, what he did not expect was that an absolute defense barrier flashing with a dark red glow suddenly emerged and blocked the way forward.
The mysterious presence holding a giant sickle was already following Lei Xiao closely.
