The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

330. Is He Trapped in the Illusory Magic?

Translator: 飞弹

There were three pieces of key highlights of collections in the God Demon Tower, one of which was the Phantom Tower, a top magical weapon of divine quality.

The higher the grade was, the more powerful the so-called “magical weapon of divine quality” would be. And some of them would even create spiritual intelligence. The magical weapon with spiritual intelligence was also called spiritual weapon.

Phantom Tower was just a spiritual weapon and had a high spiritual intelligence. The reason why it was one of key highlights of collections was its ability of bewildering living creatures, that is, illusory magic. This kind of magic was different from ordinary ones. It was very advanced. Once trapped in the illusory magic, it was impossible to forcefully destroy it. Besides, the scenes created by it were so authentic that one couldn’t realize that he was trapped in the illusory magic, because the Phantom Tower would tamper with his memories.

However, this wasn’t the most terrible part of the Phantom Tower.

The scariest part of the Phantom Tower was that it could authentically reflect the projection of what one was most afraid of or his desire in the heart, which were the so-called “private demons”. Every participant must overcome their own private demons to walk out of the Phantom Tower. If they failed, they could only stay in the Phantom Tower and wait for the rescue of the elders.

The second round of the test would last for four hours. If they couldn’t go out of the Phantom Tower after four hours, then it would be judged that they had failed and the losers could only be eliminated bleakly.

After the rules of the competition were announced, the Third Elder took out the Phantom Tower.

The small Phantom Tower flew from the hand of the Third Elder to Ring No.1 of the Guardian Square and landed in the center of the ring. Amidst the exclamations of surprise of the crowd, the Phantom Tower became bigger and bigger, and it didn’t stop expanding until the base of the tower covered the entire ring. At this moment, the Phantom Tower was already 21 meters in height, which became a veritable high tower.

“Amazing, this tower is really fun. It can actually enlarge or shorten. I’ve never heard of any magical weapons of divine quality with this ability before.”

Feng Xi raised his head and looked at the Phantom Tower as if it rose above the clouds. He exclaimed in amazement, and at the same time, there was a hint of envy and excitement in his exclamation. If he had one too, he would be able to take it out as an inn when he went to some remote places in the future. And if he encountered an enemy, he just needed to throw it out and squashed the enemy. It was really convenient!

“No matter how fun it is, it’s not yours,” Lord Carendra glanced at him with an impassive countenance.

Feng Xi pretended not to hear it and watched the Phantom Tower while drooling, almost salivating.

“All the contestants, listen. Line up in ascending order of your scores and then start to enter the tower!” The Third Elder’s voice rang again and the contestants who were whispering fell silent. Then they followed his words and lined up voluntarily while the ones whose scores were the same stood abreast.

When everyone joined the line, the ten small doors of the Phantom Tower finally opened. Through the door, they saw a vast expanse of whiteness inside.

Feng Xi had the highest score, so he was the last one to enter the tower. However, what surprised him was that the second place was not someone he knew, but the captain Dark Horse of this competition. His score was just one point higher than that of Mo Feihan.

Dark Horse’s shape was unusually tall and he had a pair of bright piercing eyes, but his rugged facial features were also a little handsome. His hair was as black as ink and his eyes were as deep as dark holes. The excessive dark color made Feng Xi feel strange, but he couldn’t tell anything strange with him.

Just as he was filling his head with nonsense, Dark Horse suddenly turned his head and glanced down at him, the corner of his mouth seeming to twitch.

Feng Xi did not know what he meant, but when he saw the curve of Dark Horse’s mouth corner twitching, Feng Xi found that he seemed to be ridiculed…

It didn’t give him time to think about it. Finally, it was his turn to enter the tower.

Feng Xi was about to enter the tower when the old man guarding beside the door suddenly stopped him and handed him something, “This is a crystal jade slip. If you fail and are still conscious, you can crumb it. Someone will send you out by then.”

“Understood,” Feng Xi thought for a moment and took the jade slip. Although he didn’t think he would fail, it would be a waste if he didn’t take it!

The old man thought that he would hesitate at least, because a person who was confident in himself would not think that he would use this kind of thing. Many people have rejected the jade slips that he gave them earlier. In his opinion, the young boy may not be the strongest among all the contestants, but he knew that the young boy would definitely pass the test, so he should also have this confidence!

But judging from this action of taking the crystal jade slip without hesitation, it seemed that he wasn’t very confident in himself.

But how could the old man guess what Feng Xi was thinking? If he knew, he would definitely be shocked by it.

After taking the jade slip, Feng Xi walked into the Phantom Tower. He walked through the front door of the tower, which was the biggest one. As soon as he stepped in, the door was slowly shut behind him. The white light in front of him gradually faded and was replaced by a golden light. Feng Xi couldn’t help but block it with his hand. After he adapted to the golden light that suddenly appeared, he opened his eyes. Then he was almost struck blind by the glorious scene.

Feng Xi couldn’t help feeling strange. Was he inside the Phantom Tower now?

“Ah? Is this the illusory magic?” Feng Xi tilted his head and thought for long before finally coming to this conclusion.

But couldn’t the person snared in illusory magic realize that he was trapped in it? However, now he clearly knew that he was in the Phantom Tower and he seemed to be on the first floor of the tower. Nonetheless, what surprised him the most was that the first floor of the Phantom Tower was built of gold. Everything was glittering. No wonder the light was so dazzling.

However…

Feng Xi remembered the information about the Phantom Tower that Lord Carendra had told him. It was said that the desires in people’s hearts could be projected by the Phantom Tower. So, was his desire to build a glorious hall?

However, Feng Xi looked at it in disgust and felt that it was really too vulgar. If he really lived in such a place every day, he dared to guarantee that he would be stuck blinded by it in two days. There was no way he would have such a disgusting interest. What was the projection of one’s desire in the heart? Actually it was just a lie!

However, since it was the first floor of the Phantom Tower, there should be a staircase up to the second floor.

Feng Xi took a turn around the glorious hall and finally found that in an inconspicuous corner, there was a similarly glittering staircase. If he didn’t see the entrance to the second floor, he would have thought this staircase was actually used as a decoration. The interest was really shit! He didn’t know which idiot had designed it. After complaining for a while, he just climbed up the stairs.

The hall of the second floor finally didn’t have the bad taste as that of the first floor. The decorations were simple and classic compared to the first floor.

Feng Xi circled around and felt there were only a set of furniture, flooring, windows, chairs and cups which were all made of wood. Although they looked normal, he didn’t feel it normal. Feng Xi pulled a chair and sat down for a while and suddenly found that the spiritual force running in the vein seemed to have quickened a little.

This unexpected discovery prompted Feng Xi to experiment on other pieces of furniture several times. Without exception, he found that these things actually had the function of assisting in practicing. The depression in the heart of Feng Xi, who was ecstatic now, was immediately dissolved and he packed everything that could be moved into the ring.

Soon, Feng Xi found the stairs to the third floor in another inconspicuous corner.

This Phantom Tower was very strange. When Feng Xi reached the sixth floor, he came to this conclusion, but he was very happy because from the second floor, he found a lot of treasures on each floor. For example, the third floor was actually an arsenal of magical weapons, and the fourth floor was filled with books recording a variety of Profound Arts and martial methods, while the fifth floor was pervaded by precious plants and minerals.

After collecting a lot of things, he stepped onto the sixth floor with great hope.

However, this time, it was somewhat beyond his expectation. There was nothing on the sixth floor and there was no light at all. It was pitch-dark in the hall and he couldn’t see a thing.

Feng Xi took out an luminous pearl from his ring. When he slowly shined the pearl around, a bloody ghost face suddenly appeared in front of him. Feng Xi was shocked and the luminous pearl in his hand was almost thrown away.

However, he also had gone to the Ghost World and the Underworld before, especially the Ghost World, where the ghosts were more terrible than this, so he calmed down immediately after he was scared. Then he summoned the Azure Beast without hesitation.

As soon as the Azure Beast appeared, the surrounding ghosts felt the aura emanating from it and immediately retreated in horror. There were even many evil Black Souls and Red Souls among them. When the Azure Beast saw them, it immediately swallowed them into the stomach. There were many ghosts on the sixth floor, so its belly was puffed up before it could swallow half of the ghosts.

Feng Xi saw that the ghosts were hiding in the corner and didn’t dare to act recklessly. He ignored them and led the Azure Beast to the seventh floor, which was the last floor of the Phantom Tower.

The seventh floor was bright and the most normal.

What was abnormal was that there was a pool in the middle. There was a child lying on the side of the pool. The child had his back facing Feng Xi and did not see him coming up. He was mumbling something as he stared at the pool with a serious expression, occasionally nodding in admiration, sometimes in disappointment.

Feng Xi wanted to see what he was doing and walked over.

At this moment, the child suddenly raised his head and his gaze met Feng Xi’s for a moment, raising the temperature of the seventh floor.
