#2754 - Disc

Fang Heng stepped into the Hall of Suppressing Demons.

The door behind him was automatically and slowly closed by the power of the magic array.

The hall was dimly lit, with only the magic runes arranged on the ground emitting a faint blue light, and there was a staircase on the right side against the wall leading to the upper level.

The upper level was the area where the magic array was arranged, so there was no need to enter.

Fang Heng was proficient in alchemy magic and could see through the structure of the magic array on the ground at a glance.

To be precise, what was laid on the ground was a multiple magic array structure, with each magic array corresponding to a special space that had been broken open.

Currently, only a small part of the area was in a triggered and usable state.

Combining his previous conversation with Hein, Fang Heng roughly judged that each teleportation channel corresponded to a separate area for imprisoning demons.

After clearing and purifying a first-order demon, the magic array channel leading to the second-order demon's sealed space would emerge.

Fang Heng secretly admired the predecessors who built the Hall of Suppressing Demons.

To be able to do this, one must cultivate both alchemy and spatial studies to a high level, and it would take a long time of careful arrangement to achieve.

"I'll just pick one at random."

Fang Heng didn't know how strong the first-order demons were, so he randomly walked onto a magic array.

"Buzz..."

The magic array emitted a faint light, gradually enveloping Fang Heng in it.

Fang Heng's eyes were shrouded in a pale yellow light.

...

Whoosh!

Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

The teleportation had just been completed, and before Fang Heng could see the surrounding situation clearly, a red two-headed monster raised a metal wolf-tooth hammer and smashed it directly at his face!

"Heh!"

Fang Heng gently tugged at the corner of his mouth.

I just like you demons' straightforward fighting style!

Fang Heng swung his fist backhand!

The punch landed first, instantly smashing the wolf-tooth hammer in the two-headed monster's hand!

"Bang!!!"

After the fist shattered the wolf-tooth hammer, it heavily landed on the two-headed monster, sending it flying!

The two-headed monster had been imprisoned in the Hall of Suppressing Demons for thousands of years, and had long lost its mind in the long wait of solitude, only madly destroying all life it could see.

It didn't expect to kick a steel plate this time, and was directly blasted away by Fang Heng's punch. While still dazed and dizzy and not recovered, it suddenly paused, and one of its heads had its crown pressed down by Fang Heng, stopping it in place.

Fang Heng coldly uttered a word.

"Divine Punishment!"

Boom!!!

The next moment, dazzling holy flames ignited, completely engulfing the two-headed monster and burning it to ashes!

[Hint: The player's current Sage advancement mission - Sealing Demons (Target Demon - Two-Headed Parasitic Demon), judged as S level, the player gains 40,000 contribution points, the player's current mission progress is improved].

Done!

Easy peasy.

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the teleportation magic array that slowly emerged in the center of the space.

Next!

...

Outside the Hall of Suppressing Demons.

Everyone looked up at the Hall of Suppressing Demons.

The guards who accompanied Fang Heng were extremely anxious.

Fang Heng was a guest of the Great Sage, and if something went wrong, he would also be in a lot of trouble.

Legion Commander Hein saw the changes in the stones outside the temple, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Then, the surrounding group of Divine Punishment Knights also whispered to each other.

The guard was a little strange and couldn't help but ask: "Legion Commander, is there any situation? Is there any twist in the trial..."

"Hmm..."

Hein hummed softly, glanced at the guard, stretched out his hand, pointed to the circular stone plate above the highest level of the Hall of Suppressing Demons, nodded and continued: "Do you see the holy fire on that disc?"

Hearing this, the guard immediately looked in the direction pointed by Legion Commander Hein.

Indeed, a huge stone disc stood outside the highest level of the tower.

Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the disc was divided into grids, with a small portion of the grids flickering with holy fire.

"This subordinate is ignorant, may I ask what this is, sir?"

"In the early days of the Great Sage's construction of the Hall of Suppressing Demons, he planned to divide the demons into 1-7 levels, with the most dangerous being the 7th-order demons, which are also the highest-level demons."

"Corresponding to the demon levels, the Hall of Suppressing Demons is also divided into seven floors. From bottom to top, the 7th-order demons are the most dangerous and have the highest strength, so they are divided into seven special spaces for imprisonment."

"Further up, 14 spaces were built to imprison 6th-order demons, and further up, 28 spaces were built to imprison 5th-order demons, and so on."

"The large wheel you see was created in the early days of the temple's establishment. The seven grids in the very center of the wheel correspond to the seven special spaces in the deepest part of the Hall of Suppressing Demons that imprison 7th-order demons."

The captain of the guards stared at the disc, carefully counted, frowned, and asked: "Sir, there are 2 grids in the innermost circle of grids flashing with holy fire, does that mean that there are currently two 7th-order demons sealed in the Hall of Suppressing Demons?"

"No, you counted it backwards."

Legion Commander Hein shook his head and corrected: "It's five."

What?

So the wheel spaces that are not flashing with holy fire mean that there are demons imprisoned?

The captain of the guards was shocked when he heard this, and then looked up.

He saw the densely packed holes on the stone wheel, and at a glance, only about one-tenth of them were lit with holy light.

Hein didn't say a word.

Originally, when the Great Sage was still around, the Hall of Suppressing Demons was more of a trial ground, providing the warriors of the Divine Realm with practical training and selection.

But since the Great Sage died, too many demons with special resurrection abilities have been imprisoned here.

Relying solely on the Divine Punishment Knights, there was simply no way to digest so many.

As time went by, more and more demons were imprisoned.

Hein reached out and pointed to the outermost circle of the stone disc, nodding and saying: "That holy fire just lit up."

The guard was stunned for a moment when he heard what Hein said, and then immediately reacted, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked: "Are you saying that Mr. Fang Heng has just passed a round of trials?"

"Yes."

Hein was calm on the surface, but in reality, a trace of waves had risen in his heart.

If he hadn't personally witnessed the lighting of the holy flame on the stone slab, he wouldn't have bothered with the guard following Fang Heng.

In fact, talking to the guard was also to calm his inner emotions.

It's been so many years.

The demons imprisoned in the Mist God Temple are extremely difficult for the Holy See to deal with, and they cannot be completely killed.

Although the ways to completely eliminate them are not limited to Divine Punishment.

But...

It is highly likely to be Divine Punishment.

In other words, what Fang Heng said is likely to be true.

That kid is very likely to have come to accept the Great Sage's advancement mission.

The other guards also thought so.

Especially after seeing a holy fire light up just five minutes after Fang Heng entered the Hall of Suppressing Demons.
