"Kid, do you think I can't see through your little tricks? I have survived in this Mural World for over Ten Thousand Years; what kind of people haven't I seen? Humans, the more you tell them not to go somewhere, the more their curiosity drives them to explore..."
Within the Mural World, the master of Echo sensed the aura dissipating from one of the focal points of Titan's Abyss and murmured with some satisfaction:
"I don't want to be trapped in this place forever. Although my strength is great, no one knows that the seal of this grand formation confines the Ancient Demon God while also shackling me!"
"If I want to get out, I must destroy the foundation of this grand formation—the focal point. Although this might lead to the emergence of the Ancient Demon God, after Ten Thousand Years of erosion, they are likely close to death. I can't worry about that anymore. Little one, it's up to you now!"
It turns out that all along, this Haotian Shura True Monarch's Avatar had been using Ye Feng! Ye Feng might not imagine that before this, he had confused many people, but none like Ye Feng could easily destroy a focal point.
However, this was just the beginning!
"In the next three challenges, if you can also be so lucky as to resolve the dangers, then the main seal at the center of the Underground Palace will be in jeopardy. Master, oh master, I've guarded this Underground Palace for so many years; it's time for me to be free!"
Finally, Echo's somewhat sinister tone echoed within the Mural World, with an insidious plot seeping through. At the same time, as a crucial part of this conspiracy, Ye Feng began his new trial!
...
"Young friend Feng, how does Old Man feel? You seem even more familiar with this Underground Palace than Old Man. You've navigated through here repeatedly and have grasped information that took us at Blue Stream Villa decades to obtain!" Lan Yuanfeng said with a hint of amazement in his voice.
Ye Feng maintained a calm expression but smiled inwardly. He still feigned mystery and replied, "Lan Manor Master, I believe we all have our own secrets; there's no need to expose them, is there?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Yuanfeng showed an awkward expression and chuckled lightly before falling silent. By this time, they had already passed through the intricate pathways of the Underground Palace. What lay before them was nothing but dimness and walls made of exceptionally hard soil...
The Underground Palace constructed from multi-faceted walls resembled an impenetrable fortress. Within this fortress, finding an accurate point was undoubtedly very difficult! Ye Feng pondered as a map flashed in his mind, silently guiding him toward the correct direction!
"We are now at the Southeast focal point. After walking for so long, I think we should be close to the next focal point!" Ye Feng felt certain in his heart! The dangerous areas marked on his Underground Map were just ahead!
Lan Yuanfeng listened and had no doubts; he began to prepare defensively. The aura of Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm faintly emanated from him as his entire body was enveloped in a layer of pure white light barrier! It looked quite sacred!
Ye Feng was also keeping an eye out, cautiously observing his surroundings. Previously, they had been too careless and had fallen victim to the deadly dreamscape of the Soul Guiding Banner. Learning from past mistakes, he was now approaching the second seal point of the Ancient Divine Artifact. Even with the map guiding him, he still felt a sense of unease.
The atmosphere was inexplicably eerie as they walked, and soon they arrived at another corner. However, this corner turned out to be a dead end! It was neither too big nor too small, just enough to accommodate two people side by side.
"Is this it?" Lan Yuanfeng was the first to express his surprise. This dead end did not look like any formation, let alone a place where an Ancient Divine Artifact could exist!
Ye Feng frowned; the dangerous area marked on the map was indeed here! He couldn't afford to take a detour, but the scene before him was certainly perplexing.
"Perhaps it's not that simple!" The authenticity of the Underground Map had already been confirmed beyond doubt earlier. Ye Feng had no hesitation about this; since the map indicated this location, there must be something unusual about this dead end!
"Lan Manor Master, please watch my back. I'll go in and investigate; there might be some mechanisms!" Ye Feng decided to delve deeper to see if there was anything amiss. A quick exploration of the narrow alley would reveal everything!
Lan Yuanfeng nodded gravely. This was a matter of life and death, and there could be no jokes about it. However, he was quite curious about where this young man's confidence came from to take such a needless risk. Could it be that some divine being was truly aiding him?
As he pondered this, Ye Feng had already taken his first step into the dead end, followed by several more steps—he moved cautiously, keenly aware of his surroundings! The map in his mind only indicated that this place was dangerous but did not specify where the danger lay! Even if there were traps, they needed to be spotted with the naked eye! Yet this challenge did not faze Ye Feng! He quietly released his enhanced Divine Consciousness, covering the entire dead end without missing a corner.
Soon enough, he discovered something unusual! It seemed that beneath this dead end was hollow! Could it be?
Ye Feng thought of a possibility! His eyes lit up with excitement as he turned to alert Lan Yuanfeng! However, just as he turned around, a chill ran down his spine! His gaze shrank in shock as uncontrollable terror flooded his eyes—he was nearly speechless with fear!
Lan Yuanfeng remained outside the dead end, unknowingly fulfilling his duty to protect Ye Feng's back. However, seeing the look in Ye Feng's eyes felt completely off—as if something terrible had happened!
"Young friend Feng, have you discovered something?" Lan Yuanfeng asked tentatively. Yet for some reason, he felt an unsettling chill creeping up his back!
Almost instinctively, he turned around to check because Ye Feng's gaze seemed to have passed right over him!
But in that instant, Ye Feng finally snapped out of his silent terror and shouted loudly: "Watch out!!"
As soon as the words fell, Lan Yuanfeng was suddenly startled! Realizing that something must have happened behind him, he instantly elevated his cultivation level, unleashing an endless aura of power! The aura spread out, forming a powerful field that wreaked havoc around him, creating a rebound attack!
At the same time, he turned around! Like Ye Feng, he too was engulfed in an unprecedented fear!
A massive shadow had appeared behind him at some unknown point! The terrifying shadow was not only due to its transparent body but more importantly, with Lan Yuanfeng's strong perception at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm, he surprisingly sensed nothing!
"Beast! Don't even think about ambushing Old Man!" Lan Yuanfeng felt a chill in his heart but anger surged within him! He roared in fury and struck out with a powerful palm!
However, the shadow seemed indifferent to Lan Yuanfeng's attack; it simply stood there behind him without doing anything! The powerful palm wind quickly penetrated its body!
"How is this possible!" An astonished voice burst from Lan Yuanfeng's mouth! He widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at his palm strike that could easily kill any mid-level Gangwu Realm expert, yet it caused no harm to the shadow whatsoever!
The shadow merely rippled! The palm wind struck the wall behind it, producing a terrifying sound!
"Boom!" The violent noise caused a small tremor in the area! The narrow alley shook violently! Ye Feng also gathered his thoughts from his daze and, disregarding what kind of monster the shadow was, drew out the Golden Dragon Sword to attack!
"Light-Splitting Void Sword Technique!" As soon as he made his move, it was his most powerful sword technique! The sword rang like a true dragon's roar, gathering all its might into one strike that shot out rapidly!
With a whoosh followed by a loud crash, the sword light also penetrated the shadow, causing it to ripple again! But Ye Feng expressed the same astonishment as Lan Yuanfeng!
"Not affected by physical attacks! Damn it! What on earth is this thing!" Cursing inwardly and associating that terrifying shadow creature with something like a Phantom Demon, he shouted, "Lan Manor Master, quickly come to me!"
He realized why the shadow could act so recklessly! Encountering such an elusive entity in this Underground Palace made defense the best choice!
Unfortunately, Ye Feng's call came a bit late! Just as Lan Yuanfeng intended to escape, their previous attacks caused the ground to tremble slightly! Unintentionally, they triggered a hidden mechanism in the narrow alley!
"Thud thud thud!" The entire ground of the alley began to collapse downward! Initially slow, it quickly accelerated at an alarming rate! Affected by the immense force of gravity, Ye Feng had no way to mobilize his Spirit Essence in time to fly away!
As they fell into what seemed like an endless abyss, in his last glance, he saw that massive shadow move! It lunged forward and enveloped Lan Yuanfeng, who was trying to retreat into the alley for safety!
With the powerful strength of the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm, Lan Yuanfeng suddenly fell silent! His entire being seemed to be crushed, as if his soul had left his body! A fleeting expression of horror, fear, and despair crossed his face. In the end, Ye Feng could no longer speculate whether he could survive; he was violently impacted by the collapse of the ground!
"Buzz!" The immense force of the impact caused Ye Feng's whole body to tremble! Every nerve and muscle felt as if it were being crushed by an overwhelming power! His pupils suddenly filled with blood! Finally, unable to withstand the severe injury, he spat out blood!
"Pfft!" The acrid blood surged from his chest to his throat, and upon contacting the air, Ye Feng, who nearly fainted, managed to maintain a final shred of consciousness with the help of his powerful Divine Soul Power! Then, dragging his heavy body, he struggled to observe the situation before him...
What came into view was a scene of a dead-end collapsing completely; it was a dark expanse where he had no idea what lurked around him. The environment was eerily quiet, and Ye Feng could see nothing. Subconsciously, he looked up and discovered that above him was also an endless dark void!
From what he could see, he had fallen at least a hundred feet! To remain intact after such a height was already a miracle!
At that moment, the long-awaited voice of Xuan Lao echoed once more in his mind!
"Idiot! Wake up! Be careful not to let that thing catch up to you! Hurry and get out of here!" Hearing the urgency and fear in Xuan Lao's tone, Ye Feng began to adjust his Vital Energy to stabilize his chaotic body while quickly stepping out of the dead-end and into the vast darkness!
In this endless darkness, Ye Feng finally felt somewhat at ease, but the fear of that shadow left him feeling lost. He couldn't help but ask, "Xuan Lao, do you know what that thing is?"
Actually, he wanted to ask whether Lan Yuanfeng, entangled by that thing, could survive. However, he swallowed that question down; compared to that, it seemed more important to focus on his current situation!
