Chapter 176: Pseudo-Divine Artifact!
The longevity monument looked just like a tombstone. It was a given that some methods had to be used to turn it into a door.
“This is a method of acknowledgment. We only need to use the simplest method,” Gandulf said.
“The simplest method?” Lin Ming frowned.
“Yes, attack this tombstone,” Gandulf nodded and said.
“Okay.”
Lin Ming condensed fire power and directly threw it at the tombstone.
However, the tombstone was still unmoving. Lin Ming’s attack didn’t cause the slightest bit of damage to it.
Lin Ming smiled instead. It seemed that what Gandulf said was true.
“Fiery Phoenix Spell!” Lin Ming said coldly. In that instant, more than ten Fiery Phoenix Spells appeared behind him!
Although Lin Ming’s fire magic was only at tier-7, his control over it and the damage he could cause were extremely powerful.
“Explode!” Lin Ming snorted.
With this, as if it had been hit by a meteorite, the ground where Lin Ming was standing began to tremble crazily.
“Boom!”
The sound of the explosion caused the surrounding magical beasts to tremble uncontrollably.
Lin Ming looked at the tombstone.
“There are some changes.” Lin Ming said as he observed a crack that appeared in the middle of the tombstone.
This crack did not appear because the tombstone could not withstand the attack.
Instead, the crack appeared because the tombstone acknowledged Lin Ming’s power. The crack was like a door crack.
As this crack appeared, Lin Ming could feel the mysterious power within.
This also gave Lin Ming some motivation.
“Explode!” Lin Ming said once more, and the crack became bigger.
“Tsk tsk, it really works.”
This crack was now as wide as a palm.
A crack at this width was enough for Lin Ming to feel the ancient aura within.
“Fiery Phoenix Spell!”
Lin Ming attacked again, but this time, the tombstone didn’t move at all.
No matter how many attacks it launched, the tombstone did not budge.
“It seems that there is a threshold for every crack.” Lin Ming couldn’t help but say.
“Dark Strike!” Lin Ming used Dark Strike this time.
This was a tier 9 dark magic attack.
However, the attack caused no changes to the tombstone at all.
“Master, this tombstone can only be opened with fire magic,” Gandulf spoke again.
“Yes, I can see that,” Lin Ming nodded.
This made Lin Ming even more convinced that a mutated seed of flame was hidden here.
Otherwise, why was it that the door could only be opened with fire magic?
If it was an ordinary fortuitous encounter, there would not be such a restriction.
“Black Fire!” Lin Ming no longer concealed his strength and directly released Black Fire!
“Crack, crack!”
Even from a distance, one could hear the sound of the explosions that came from the destructive power of the Black Fire explosion.
“Open!” Lin Ming said coldly.
As the Black Fire continuously bombarded the tombstone, it directly turned into a door.
Without any hesitation, Lin Ming entered the door.
The tier 10 magical beast behind him was trapped by the nine-headed worm in the triple-layered dream.
“Master, this is the space of this spiritual weapon,” Gandulf said.
“The space of the spiritual weapon? Wasn’t it said that there can be no living things in spiritual weapons?” Lin Ming frowned and asked.
“Could it be that this is a divine artifact?”
Ordinary spiritual weapons shouldn’t be able to ignore the magic of the other elements.
Not to mention that the tombstone was so intelligent.
“Master, this is a pseudo-divine artifact. It has powerful defensive ability as well as its own space,” Gandulf said.
“A pseudo-divine artifact?”
Lin Ming frowned. He didn’t expect that there such a thing would exist.
“Master, although the space of a pseudo-divine artifact can’t compare to a true divine artifact, its defensive ability far surpasses that of a spiritual treasure,” Gandulf explained.
“I can see that.”
Although this space couldn’t compare to a secret realm, it was still extremely huge.
Lin Ming moved forward. As he did so, the surrounding scenery changed.
“Please accept the first trial!” An ancient voice appeared, and a groove appeared in front of Lin Ming.
“Please place your palm in the groove!” The voice continued.
“Okay,” Lin Ming nodded and placed his palm in the groove.
“Please exert power into the groove. The first trial begins.” The voice instructed Lin Ming as such.
“Hum!”
Lin Ming injected his fire power into the groove.
“Two types of fire power have been detected in the trial-taker’s body. The fire power is extremely dense! The trial-taker possesses fire-element magic power that is extremely powerful. The trial-taker has passed the first trial!”
Lin Ming had just placed his palm into the groove before passing the trial in a few seconds.
Lin Ming removed his palm from the groove and the surrounding sceneries changed once again.
“Trial-taker, please proceed to the second trial and accept the baptism of fire!” The ancient voice appeared, and a place where flames were gathered appeared in front of Lin Ming.
Lin Ming did not even think twice before directly entering the flames.
“Hm.”
Lin Ming felt the power of the flames.
“There is a mutated flame power.” Lin Ming said as he felt the power.
“Ah!”
Even if Lin Ming had powerful strength and was a fire mage, but this flame made him feel pain.
Lin Ming had always been into body forging, thus this level of pain was still bearable to him.
However, this was just the beginning.
Not long after, cracks appeared on the surface of Lin Ming’s body.
“Ah!”
Lin Ming looked at his skin. At this moment, it was falling off piece by piece.
Lin Ming’s hair was also being burned by this power.
As Lin Ming’s skin fell off, Lin Ming’s flesh and blood began to scorch.
All this was even after taking into consideration that Lin Ming’s physical body was strong.
If it was any other mage, they would have turned into a pile of ashes the moment they entered the flames.
“The flames are burning my energy and blood!”
Lin Ming frowned.
“Come!”
The power of energy and blood was what Lin Ming had the most!
At least under this kind of flame, Lin Ming could still satisfy the flames’ need to burn his energy and blood with his power of energy and blood.
If it were not for the endless power of energy and blood in Lin Ming’s body, his flesh and blood would have been completely burned by now.
“Crack! Crack!”
Lin Ming calmed himself down as the sounds of his flesh and blood being burnt came to his ears.
“You want to burn me clean?” Lin Ming snorted coldly. The power of energy and blood in Lin Ming’s body exploded.
The skin on Lin Ming’s body grew crazily again.
“Hmph!” The ancient voice sounded.
The owner of the ancient voice seemed to have been provoked. The flames surrounding Lin Ming’s body ignited and exploded again, and Lin Ming was once again in danger.
