Holy Fist!

Compared to the Three Qi Points, these Qi Hole Maps have noticeably more Qi nodes, spread throughout the body like stars in the sky. He had just carefully examined them, removing any overlaps, and Bai Xiao could obtain at least a hundred new Qi holes, far surpassing the initial Three Qi Points.

"Once in the Ancient Loulan Secret Realm, I tested the effects of the Three Qi Points; they could roughly restore half of an Earth Glaze Elephant God. In other words, a complete Earth Glaze Elephant God would likely need six Qi holes to restore. Now I have ten Earth Glaze Elephant Gods, and sixty Qi holes would fully restore them all..."

"As for the Heavenly Glazed Holy Dragon, it should require even more Qi holes to fill."

"I wonder if these Qi Hole Maps are enough to refresh the five dragons and ten elephants of my Dragon Elephant Scripture once more..." His gaze flickered slightly as he pondered to himself.

Beidou Holy Temple, second floor, Secret Technique Hall.

Bai Xiao stayed here for over half an hour; he not only obtained the desired Qi Hole Maps but also learned the general situation of the Beidou Holy Temple from the disciple of the Hall Master. A few minutes later, Bai Xiao took his spoils and continued towards higher levels of the Beidou Holy Temple. Now, compared to when he first broke into the temple, he had greatly transformed. Some so-called dangers could no longer pose a threat to Bai Xiao; he wanted to rush to the top of the Beidou Holy Temple to see.

The Beidou Seven Halls there were the most dangerous and precious places.

One minute later.

"Whoosh!"

Beidou Holy Temple, white stone staircase.

Bai Xiao was charging through at an unimaginable speed, like a rocket.

Even though the Beidou Holy Temple was heavily guarded and fraught with danger—every certain level had extremely formidable beings defending it—he had two Forbidden Secret Martial techniques empowering him, five dragons and ten elephants covering his entire body, Qi transforming, Kunpeng soaring. Any Guardian blocking Bai Xiao's path was swept aside.

Thus, he progressed all the way, forcefully fighting his way to the top ninth floor of the Beidou Holy Temple. He was two layers away from the legendary Beidou Seven Halls.

"Tap."

Top of the Beidou Holy Temple, ninth floor.

A tall and muscular figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Bai Xiao was enveloped in a platinum-colored Qi, emanating a domineering and fierce aura. His iron fist hanging by his side was stained with black-red blood.

He stepped forward, looking at the figure holding a giant axe.

The figure was three meters tall, armored from head to toe; it was like a tank in heavy armor. The armor was pitch black, with hard and fierce contours, and on the surface, a coiling dragon seemed to spiral to the position of the right arm. On the right shoulder, it formed an intricate dragon head, its black scales slightly reflecting light.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

As if sensing someone intruding into the Beidou Holy Temple.

The tall figure slowly turned its head, raising the giant axe in its hand.

The axe blade was extraordinarily exaggerated, neither wholly metal nor wood; its heavy presence seemed capable of splitting a mountain, possessing the power to break open a peak.

Bai Xiao's gaze calmly looked over.

His sight briefly fixated on the right shoulder of the figure holding the giant axe.

There was a dazzling sun symbol.

Just moments ago, he had rampaged his way up, never encountering a Guardian with a sun symbol, only those with moon symbols, ranging from one to five. Some of them already had the strength comparable to top-tier Transformation Realm.

And now, this person bore a qualitatively different sun symbol.

Perhaps...

"Boom!"

"Clang!"

In the center of the hall, two formidable figures clashed heavily as if teleporting. The menacing claws wrapped in golden light and the heavy, edge-less black giant axe smashed violently against one another. Instantly, a colossal visible white shockwave swept out, interspersed with sparkling, blazing light.

The giant axe figure's body expanded further, terrifying muscles bulging, stretching the surface armor to reveal more gaps. From each gap, endless azure starlight drifted out, burning fiercely like flames.

"Power type?"

Facing the terrifying surge of power from the giant axe, Bai Xiao's expression did not change in the slightest; he slowly extended his right hand forward.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack..."

In an instant, the Kunpeng silhouette emerged.

Under the transformation of speed, the exaggerated power beyond imagination surged forth all at once. It was like a dam breaching, torrents overwhelming downstream.

"Boom!!!"

On the heavy giant axe, countless cracks spread, growing like the roots of a tree branch. A roar like that of a Furious Dragon swept through the entire hall.

"Whoosh!"

The ninth-floor Guardian, despite being as massive as a tank, was unable to resist being flung backward uncontrollably. The weapon in its hand continued to disintegrate midair, shattering into countless tiny black fragments, falling to the ground.

"Tap!"

Bai Xiao didn't linger, launching himself to the eighth floor after striking the opponent down. He had a vague premonition that his time in the Fear Nightmare would be short, needing to seize every moment.

...

At the top of the Beidou Holy Temple, eighth floor.

Bai Xiao unexpectedly found this place devoid of Guardians, just a scene like a religious mural. It was as if a medieval painter had set up a gallery, leaving various mythological depictions on the walls.

He frowned slightly, inexplicably feeling a sense of familiarity.

As he walked in.

Bai Xiao's gaze swept across the wall, which depicted humans from the era of primitive agriculture, each standing around a bonfire, facing outwards, kneeling in prayer. And beyond the flames' glow, in the dense forests, seemed to be a pitch-black silhouette. It was unclear whether it was a Demon or a God, but only part of the body covering the sky could be seen.
