Holy Fist!

After a brief discussion, Canaan left.

But unexpectedly, only a few seconds later, Yao Qing appeared again.

"Bai Xiao, the Mother of Masks seems to have had some movement just now."

"I don't know how to describe it, but it seemed to resonate and connect with some distant presence, vibrating violently for a while. Then it calmed down, but it's clear that the mask is somewhat different from before..."

Yao Qing handed over the Mother of Masks.

The entire mask seemed as if it was forged from ancient Mithril, its surface covered with a pitted black shell, as if it bore countless wounds carved by time. Its contours were twisted and bizarre, with a high and protruding forehead inscribed with eerie patterns, like ancient evil spells. A row of fangs emerged, irregular and prominent.

It looked no different from usual.

However.

When Bai Xiao donned the mask on his face, he felt an extremely intense and chilling sinister coldness, icy to the core. It was as if cursed by an abyss, with a crack opening, spewing endless Black Qi.

It was some sort of unknown evil and cursed power.

He removed the mask.

Bai Xiao distinctly noticed, at the brow mark of the black mask, the originally formidable bird-shaped outline symbolizing his control started to fade away. It was as if some internal force persistently impacted the mark.

Ten minutes later.

He gave up further investigating the mutation of the Mother of Masks.

He directly used the Demon Bird Secret Book to forcibly refine the Mother of Masks once more.

Making the mark at his brow even more intense and solid.

"Could it be that other Mothers of Masks have appeared in the world?"

Bai Xiao slowly put away the mask.

...

Time passed little by little, and it was precisely ten at night.

In the villa of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall.

Bai Xiao lay quietly on the spacious bed, surrounded by a vague drowsiness, as if invisible air currents enveloped his entire body. On the back of his hand, the black Skull Mark flickered gently, with mysterious power surging.

At a certain moment, the world spun around, and all returned to nothingness.

In the next second.

Bai Xiao found himself in the Fear Nightmare, within Conquest City.

He slowly opened his eyes, his strong and tall figure standing still on the grayish-white street, like a solemn statue. The composed sensation he felt, was something Bai Xiao had never experienced in his many entries into the Fear Nightmare before.

He looked around.

Again, thick mists rose all around.

Just like that day, a vast swarm of fearful creatures surged into Conquest City.

In his vision, the white mists rolled like living objects, rapidly spreading in a peculiar manner. The dense fog was like flowing liquid, and one felt as if they could float within.

"Beidou Holy Temple, Secret Technique Hall, Qi Hole Map..."

A purpose arose in Bai Xiao's heart for this entry into the Fear Nightmare.

He sought to find a way to enhance the Dragon Elephant Scripture, focusing mainly on two aspects. One was to use Dragon Heart Elephant Intent to fortify, constantly devouring Secret Martial of the Dragon Elephant type, to increase the number of Heavenly Glazed Holy Dragons and Earth Glaze Elephant Gods. The other was to increase the Three Qi Points to thirty, or even three hundred. After using the Heavenly Glazed Holy Dragon and Earth Glaze Elephant God, they could quickly replenish.

Enabling Bai Xiao's peak strike to be used repeatedly!

Moreover, he sought the Qi Hole Map for another reason, to greatly temper his solid-state Courage. For a sect leader in the Late Stage of Transformation Realm to ascend to the Peak, they need to comprehend Martial Arts Will and to temper their own Courage to the extreme. Generally speaking, comprehending Martial Arts Will is more difficult than tempering Courage. But Bai Xiao, with the existence of the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform, found comprehending Martial Arts Will faster and easier than tempering Courage.

Therefore, another effect of the Qi Holes, tempering Courage,

naturally caught Bai Xiao's attention.

"Swoosh..."

Standing on the grayish-white street, he pondered for a moment and then turned slowly.

After recognizing the general direction.

Bai Xiao began to move, heading all the way toward the Beidou Holy Temple.

Ten minutes passed.

On the outskirts of the Beidou Holy Temple.

After repeatedly losing his way in the thick fog, a human figure finally found the correct direction. With a wave of one arm, Bai Xiao seemed like a raptor flapping its wings, as a gust of wind swept through. Everything on this street, whether bizarre beings or fearful creatures, was instantly torn into pieces.

Like fragile cookies, they were utterly vulnerable.

Bai Xiao slightly turned around, an invisible stream of air swept over the road like a brush, clearing all the ashes, leaving it inexplicably clean and tidy.

"Rumble..."

Not far away, within the fog, there emerged enormous silhouettes, towering like skyscrapers, moving through Conquest City. Each step they took caused a tremor akin to an earthquake. Various bizarre forms exceeded the limits of human imagination, and the terrifying aura they emitted was equally powerful. Many individuals evidently rivaled or even surpassed the Dragon Scale Knights.

They passed through one after another, excessively arrogant, traversing the ground effortlessly. Their powerful bodies crushed walls and buildings as they advanced straight towards the Holy Temple.

These gigantic fearful creatures, driven by an unknown obsession, seemed to continually repeat this action, attempting to assault and invade the Beidou Holy Temple.

"Rumble..."

Behind the gray and white street where Bai Xiao stood.

There was another towering presence as massive as a building, slowly making its way in from outside the city walls, its body shrouded in terrifying black smoke that danced violently like a fire snake. On top of the city walls, immensely powerful bows and crossbows continuously fired, exploding like missiles, blooming into golden-red expanding flames. Yet it only made the towering figure sway slightly.

It then continued to advance as if nothing had happened.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound came closer and became louder.

A gigantic fearful creature stomped heavily, crushing a significant portion of the street. As it took another step, crossing a distance of over ten meters, it was about to unintentionally crush the small figure below like an ant.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the gigantic fearful creature's massive body trembled slightly.

Its enormous body, high at the front and low at the back, couldn't seem to bring down that foot. Instinctively, the gigantic fearful creature tried to retract its right foot.

But a terrifyingly immense force annihilated its resistance. With a rumble, its colossal body was directly lifted into the air.

An immense and formidable aura forcefully locked the gigantic fearful creature, rendering it unable to escape no matter how much it struggled or exerted itself.

"Boom!"

The next second.

The building-sized gigantic fearful creature began to move forward again.

Only, it itself remained motionless.

It was a small humanoid figure below moving forward instead.

Bai Xiao raised one hand as if carrying a towering pagoda. He remained silent, heading directly towards the Beidou Holy Temple.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Heavy footsteps echoed along the path.

Just a hundred meters from the Beidou Holy Temple, numerous shadows transformed from gigantic fearful creatures gathered here, resembling dark giants coveting the light. Extremely thick fear aura enveloped all directions.

It was like a black hole suffocating everyone.

Yet, at this moment.

A silhouette emerged as if a heavenly king descended, coming all the way while carrying a "tower"!

Bai Xiao raised the gigantic fearful creature with one arm, expressionless, like a cold and silent God of Slaughter, cutting through the darkness.

In front, several towering and terrifying giant silhouettes looked over.

"Get out of the way, don't block the path."

With a wave of his hand, the gigantic fearful creature in his grasp transformed into a massive weapon, sweeping left and right with the Dragon Elephant's mighty power. The smallest towering silhouettes, each as big as houses, were directly struck and sent flying, crashing through an entire residential area like cannonballs before stopping.

Bai Xiao tapped his feet, his entire body shooting towards the Beidou Holy Temple like an arrow from a bowstring, without hesitation. He leaned back, his spine and arm bent like a full moon, directly throwing the gigantic fearful creature like a javelin. The impact of the scene was akin to moving mountains barehanded.

The smaller figure effortlessly threw something a hundred times its size, the terrifying acceleration comparable to a rocket.

"Rumble!"

The gigantic fearful creature flew directly at the towering Beidou Holy Temple.

"Swish!"

Amidst the enormous shadow.

A tiny figure darted forth like lightning, following closely behind.

"I want to see what mysterious aspects lie within this Beidou Holy Temple? That makes these fearful creatures relentlessly attack..."

"Even in death, they have such an obsession!"
