Holy Fist!

Buzz!

In the distance, under the shroud of grey mist.

A grand hall over a hundred meters tall stood silently. Black spires like dense needles seemed to pierce straight into the sky. The surface of the hall was adorned with layers of Gothic patterns, resembling scales. Mysterious and complex religious motifs seemed to be telling tales of mythology and ancient events.

A wide plaza lay in front of the hall.

A massive arch stood on the plaza, its surface covered in reliefs, radiant with a magnificent platinum color. At the top, seven star-like gemstones were inlaid.

In the surrounding area, all the strange grey mist gathered here stopped short, unable to approach the Beidou Divine Hall. It was as if a mysterious force there blocked and isolated all oddities, even fear couldn't invade.

"Boom!"

In mid-air, the giant dark creature tossed out by Bai Xiao, like a meteor uncontrollably smashed heavily towards the Beidou Holy Temple.

This act quickly triggered a terrifying reaction.

"Ding ding ding…"

Unbeknownst to when, the seven stars on the white stone arch lit up in sequence. In an instant, the entire Beidou Holy Temple erupted with brilliant starlight, enveloping the surroundings like holy light.

"Boom!"

The ultra-large fearful creature plunged into the starlight.

In almost just a moment, it was directly melted into countless flying ashes. All power, all fear, were like sandcastles, easily destroyed, crushed with just a casual wave.

Below, Bai Xiao turned into a phantom, his pupils slightly narrowing.

With a thought, glazed golden light emerged all over his body, below were five dragons and ten elephants, rotating like planets around a star. The terrifying Qi-Blood swirled around him, forming a whirlpool clinging to his body's surface.

If anything went amiss next, Bai Xiao would immediately enter the Heavenly God State.

"Whoosh!"

The next second.

He charged against the fierce wind, hair flying wildly, his clothes forming wave-like creases. He forcibly rushed into the Beidou starlight, unexpectedly, the power of the Beidou Holy Temple did not crush or repel Bai Xiao. It seemed they only targeted the fearful creatures within the Fear Nightmare, possessing recognition traits.

"Swoosh!"

Bai Xiao rushed across the plaza, passed the center's white stone statue. Unsure if it was an illusion, he suddenly felt that the pure white angel with arms folded around the body, slightly curled, wings spread like a cross, moved slightly, its gaze seemed to glance at him.

Just for a fleeting moment.

Bai Xiao directly leapt over the arch, skimmed across the plaza, and arrived before a metal gate. His gaze swept over the angel relief on the exquisite manor above, he slowly extended both hands, pushing open the door. With a creak, the metal door opened again.

Inside, it seemed like platinum flames were flowing out.

In the central hall.

A towering figure, back facing Bai Xiao, heavily pulled out the cross longsword embedded in the ground. Draped in a magnificent platinum armor, shining like a mirror. Twirling terrifying star patterns spiraled around.

The dreadful aura squeezed the whole hall like mountains and seas crashing.

"Guardian of the Beidou Holy Temple? Or perhaps, one of its guardians?"

Bai Xiao moved forward slowly, recalling the situation the first time he entered the Beidou Holy Temple. Back then, looking at this guardian, he felt like an ant facing a human. But now, it seemed no longer so.

"Tap, tap, tap…"

Bai Xiao approached the guardian step by step.

Finally, he reached within a ten-meter range.

"Clang!"

Almost in an instant, the figure in platinum armor made a move. He lifted the cross longsword as transparent as crystal, violently slashing down.

The energy was fierce as fire, starlight dazzling like a sword.

"Clang!!!"

In mid-air.

A thick palm covered in glazed golden light, as if the world's toughest millstone weapon, forcibly blocked the strike. Where the sword edge and palm collided, golden-red sparks shot out, immense force quaked, two terrifying energies were mutually annihilating at high speed. In the crystal longsword, sparkling stars shattered. The glazed golden light on Bai Xiao's palm also dimmed.

"Boom!"

Both sides swung and clashed palms once more.

Then each retreated five or six steps.

The platinum-armored figure stomped heavily, standing his ground with the sword again.

On the other side, Bai Xiao slowly turned, glanced at his palm.

The whole person pondering, he walked towards the distant rectangular hall.

"Roughly equivalent to the Peak Sect Leader Level…"

"No wonder back then when I saw him, it was like an ant seeing a tree."

Bai Xiao moved extremely fast, with a gentle tap of the toe, his whole person skimmed over the hall's prayer area, then rushed straight into the side hall.

This time, the many believers gathered in the prayer area didn't even have time to react. They only felt a gust of wind, a slight float of their clothes' corners, eyes just dawned, before they could no longer detect the intruder.

First floor of the Beidou Holy Temple, side hall.

There was a stone altar here, the center had statues resembling soldiers carved from white stone. Clearly, it was the recruitment altar used by Conquest City to enlist soldiers.

Last time here, Bai Xiao activated the Totem Giant Statue Gangdra as a first-class officer. But this time, he had no intention of reactivating the Totem Giant. Because, reaching his current level of strength, Bai Xiao vaguely sensed that the Divine Ghost Six Desires Secret he once obtained in the Fear Nightmare might have issues! And not small ones! Especially after Bai Xiao entered the Ancient Loulan Secret Realm and saw the demise of the Blood God Sect.
