I started by enhancing cancer cells and uniquely obtained the Godhood Sequence.

"Who did they beat?"

Bai Ye asked earnestly.

Luo Lianzhi then began to introduce Bai Ye to the latest developments regarding the furnace.

After more than a decade of investigation, they finally determined the number of challenge slabs in the area to be a total of seventy-two.

The order of challenges has also been figured out: starting from the center point deep inside the furnace, shifting to the left and right sides, the challenge numbers are arranged sequentially from high to low.

In addition, they also found out the names of some of the people who were challenging the stone slabs.

For example, the Shadow Knight numbered 66 that Bai Ye initially challenged was named Simonley.

Bai Ye gasped and said:

"I'm only ranked 66, and it's already this hard?"

Luo Lianzhi said with a smile:

"Not all numbered stone tablets are that hard to obtain. According to our tests, the number of the stone tablet is related to its strength."

"But actually, the difference between some of the lower-ranked numbers is not that big; the strength depends more on the class's ability to counter the opponent's strength."

"For example, the Shadow Knight Simonley that you challenged earlier, he is a knight who is good at breaking formations, which is a complete counter to you, which is why you found it so difficult to fight."

"If it were a mage, you wouldn't have lost so badly."

After hearing her explanation, Bai Ye finally understood the logic behind it.

The Stone Slab Challenge is very much about class counters. Although White Night's Long River Sword Formation is strong, formations are indeed countered by Knight's Charge.

Ranged mages like Luo Lianzhi and You Na are countered by assassins.

In short, you need to explore slowly among the seventy-two stone slabs to choose the right one to challenge.

Bai Ye asked curiously, "Then, Lord Shining Knight, and Sister Mia, did they defeat those stone tablets?"

Luo Lianzhi pointed to the stone slab over there and said:

"Oh, those three."

"Brother Shining Knight defeated the Shadow Winged Man, number 70, Sel."

"Mia is amazing! She beat Ando (rank 63) and Anluo (rank 52), and is now challenging Asmodeus (rank 32)!"

Bai Ye was somewhat surprised that they had already gotten so far ahead.

Luo Lianzhi continued, "The others have also found their targets. Brother, I advise you not to focus on that shadow knight, find someone else."

"For example, the 58th ranked Yami should be easier to fight than the Shadow Knight."

Bai Ye nodded, digesting the information the other party had shared.

Finally, Luo Lianzhi asked curiously:

"Brother, what realm did you break through to during your seclusion this time?"

If she remembered correctly, the other party had regained consciousness once before, and his strength had already broken through to the middle stage of the Domain.

I just don't know what level they've broken through to this time.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Still at the mid-level of the Domain Realm."

Just as Luo Lianzhi was about to ask what level of domain he was, Bai Ye had already stood up, patting his slightly wrinkled white robes.

Fortunately, the white robe was also an epic-level piece of equipment; otherwise, he would have had to go completely naked during his seclusion.

Bai Ye rode his flying sword toward the stone slabs, directly choosing the 58th stone slab that Luo Lianzhi had just mentioned.

Luo Lianzhi hadn't expected Bai Ye to be so decisive.

A few minutes later, he stepped onto a ring.

The same bluestone slabs, the same wandering, writhing black shadows all around.

He stood on the stone slab, and a dark shadow appeared opposite him.

This time, however, it wasn't a knight, but a delicate figure enveloped in endless flames.

Compared to the previous hundred-foot knight, this black figure was only a little over 2 meters tall, which was already considered quite "short".

However, the flames enveloping the opponent were scorching and intense, soaring into the sky, with the flames reaching hundreds of feet high, making it appear equally imposing.

He landed on the arena like a feather, and in the deep shadows, there seemed to be a pair of all-seeing pupils that looked down on Bai Ye.

Almost instantly, the latter's alarm went off, and the oppressive feeling it brought him was no less than that of the shadow knight from more than ten years ago.

A moment later, the fiery shadow actually spoke, its voice like that of hell:

"The flames you see are not ordinary fires for burning wood; they scorch memories, obsessions, and the most vulnerable cracks deep within the soul. Want to test its temperature, mortal?"

It can still talk?

Bai Ye was taken aback. He had thought these dark figures on the stone slabs were lifeless energy entities, but he never expected that their tone of voice would be so wise and profound.

Could these dark figures really be some kind of special life form?

As he pondered, the fiery shadow opposite him did not launch an attack, which was completely different from the previous shadow knight.

The fiery shadow did not rush to attack, but gave him enough time.

Only after Bai Ye had composed himself did he say, "Please enlighten me!"

The fiery shadow nodded slightly, and then, as if coming to life, the flames surged forth—

"Hell - Explosion!"

"Bang bang bang..."

The flames exploded and rushed towards him, like a series of firecrackers, creating a huge explosion.

"Heavenly Sea Sword Formation!"

Bai Ye shouted loudly, and his long sword shot out, drawing down a river from the sky.

The rivers flowed mightily and endlessly, then suddenly expanded, as if they had merged into the sea, forming an endless ocean in the sky, pouring down like a tsunami.

In an instant, the vast expanse of sky, spanning thousands of feet, was completely obscured by the azure sea.

It poured down—

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The flames from the explosion were extinguished by a falling object from the sky.

From a distance, it looked as if a torrential downpour had extinguished a wildfire on the ground.

However, only Luo Lianzhi, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that the confrontation between the two was not as simple as putting out a fire with water.

Aside from the attribute advantage, the "intention" contained in both skills is simply too amazing.

"Could it be that Brother has already advanced to the high-level Domain? This strength doesn't seem like that of a mid-level Domain cultivator?"

Luo Lianzhi asked in surprise.

Luo Lianzhi, who has already advanced to the 5th level of the Domain, is definitely not weak. Coupled with her excellent aptitude, she would definitely rank among the top even among the many mid-level Domain players in the Eternal Kingdom.

Her eyesight is definitely not weak. Based on her current judgment, she can tell from this exchange of skills that the two sides have definitely reached the high-level domain.

This is already comparable to the strength of many high-ranking races.

"Go for it, bro!"

Luo Lianzhi shouted from outside the arena.

However, not only could no attack be launched on the stage, but not even a sound could be heard.

The two sides didn't exchange many moves; one side merely provoked Tenkai to launch an attack, while the other side unleashed flames.

But its sheer scale was overwhelming, like a natural disaster, leaving people in awe.

About half a day later, Bai Ye's domain technique suddenly stopped. He retrieved the legendary item [Endless Sea], then bowed respectfully.

"I concede defeat!"

He admitted defeat.

But the opponent's fiery shadow actually stopped, extinguished the flames, nodded, and then dissipated into the air.

The stone slab, numbered fifty-something, returned to its tranquility once more.

Bai Ye gracefully descended from the arena, her eyes showing no trace of defeat, but rather gleaming with starlight, utterly composed.

"I'm about to be promoted! Cousin, help me set up an array so it doesn't affect anyone else."

After saying that, without waiting for Luo Lianzhi's reply, he found a corner, sat cross-legged again, and began his seclusion...
