Chapter 344: Five Elements Heavenly Palace!

Using the Eradicator of Realms to barely maintain a standing posture, Ling Feng panted heavily, unable to even lift a finger.

His right eye, the Heavenly Dao Eye, wept a tear of blood and was burning intensely as if it could incinerate his entire head at any moment.

It was then that Ling Feng realized that the Heavenly Dao Eye also had its limits. Overusing the divine inscription of the Heavenly Dao could cause self-harm.

"I've truly been pushed to my limits."

Ling Feng closed his right eye slightly, the piercing pain causing a throbbing ache in half of his brain.

At that moment, the scene before him changed again, and he found himself in a rather unique room.

In the next moment, the golden illusion that had appeared at the palace gate materialized before Ling Feng.

A gentle nine-colored light then entered Ling Feng's body, making him feel revitalized. His injuries healed significantly, and he even felt the faint sense of a breakthrough.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the trial of the Heart Refining Hall and become the master of this Five Elements Heavenly Palace."

The golden illusion raised its hand, revealing a delicate little tower only seven inches high. The tower had ten intricately carved layers, each one exquisitely crafted.

"Isn't it supposed to be the Five Elements Heavenly Palace? Why does it have ten layers?"

Ling Feng held the small tower in his hands. Despite its surprising craftsmanship, it seemed unremarkable.

"You will understand once you perform a blood contract."

The golden illusion continued mechanically, "The Five Elements Heavenly Palace is a top-grade sacred artifact, nearly reaching the level of a celestial artifact. It is impossible for ordinary people to refine directly. Therefore, the previous owner of this palace placed a blood recognition array on the tower. You just need to drip a drop of your essence blood on it to control this Five Elements Heavenly Palace."

"A celestial artifact!"

Ling Feng gasped. In the entire Tianbai Empire, even a fragment of a sacred artifact could fetch an astronomical price. A complete top-grade sacred artifact was something even the Tianbai imperial family likely couldn't produce!

"Here goes!"

Ling Feng couldn't contain his excitement. He pricked his finger, letting a drop of essence blood fall onto the tower while using his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

Boom!

He felt a tremor in his sea of mind as countless pieces of information flooded his brain. After sorting through it all, Ling Feng's face lit up with immense joy.

"Oh, she's about to die."

The golden illusion replied mechanically, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Uh..." Ling Feng frowned and hurriedly said, "I'm your master now, right? I order you to release her immediately!"

"As you wish, master."

The golden illusion bowed slightly and waved its hand, creating a rift in the air. A figure then fell out of the rift.

Ling Feng stepped forward to catch the falling figure, only to be met with a cold, gleaming sword light.

Ling Feng quickly sidestepped, shouting, "Miss Yue, it's me!"

"Huh? How did I get here?"

Yue Yunlan, holding a sword in her right hand, had tattered clothes stained with blood. Her pale face showed signs of exhaustion. It was clear that she had been struggling against the formidable Five Elemental Sword Guards.

Ling Feng smiled faintly, saying, "It seems I was a step ahead of you and became the master of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace."

Yue Yunlan bit her lip, sighed softly, and congratulated him. "Congratulations, Mr. Ling."

The Five Elements Heavenly Palace didn't rely solely on strength for success. It depended on combat talent and awareness. In fact, the Heart Refining Hall's trial mainly tested the challenger's use of the five elements. In this aspect, Yue Yunlan had done better than Ling Feng.

However, Ling Feng possessed an almost cheat-like ability, directly subduing the Five Elemental Sword Guards and brute-forcing his way through the trial.

"Thank you."

Ling Feng bowed to Yue Yunlan. Seeing her unsteady stance, he stepped forward to support her arm before injecting pure true qi into her body, revitalizing her.

"Thank you." Yue Yunlan gently pushed Ling Feng away, her face flushing slightly.

Ling Feng nodded and then looked at the golden illusion. "Since I passed the Heart Refining Hall's trial and obtained the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, can we leave now?"

"Yes, master!"

With a wave of its hand, the golden illusion made Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan disappear from the room. Simultaneously, the golden illusion's form dimmed. Without the Five Elements Heavenly Palace providing the power of the five elements, the array of the Heart Refining Hall would soon disappear and cease to exist.
