A series of strange laughter echoed from deep within the valley, that sound carried an extreme eeriness as if wafting out from the depths of hell, a deathly demonic tone. Lin Feng felt as though his entire body was about to freeze, hearing that voice was like being at the bottom of a boundless ice cave.
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine; he didn’t know what level of being this was, but he knew it must be terrifying beyond imagination. The more dangerous the situation became, the calmer Lin Feng grew.
At times , panic would only lead to a quicker death.
"Ah, you are quite calm."
A hoarse voice came through, it was that terrifying being, sounding somewhat surprised. Clearly, it had not expected Lin Feng to remain so composed in its presence.
But the more composed Lin Feng was, the more it piqued the interest of this being.
That concealed presence spoke again, "Do you wish to be devoured by me directly, or do you seek to obtain the ability of eternal life?"
Without any change in demeanor, Lin Feng asked, "Oh? Are you saying there’s a choice not to be devoured and to gain eternal life at the same time?"
The being snickered sinisterly, "But, you’ll have to sell your soul to me."
Lin Feng let out a cold laugh, "Do you think that’s possible?"
"Boy, in the past, others who fell here like you also said it was impossible to sell their souls to me; however, in the end, every single one of them obediently gave up their souls. Their physical bodies were consumed by me, but their souls acquired the ability of eternal life."
The being let out a bizarre laugh.
Lin Feng asked, "Where are they now?"
The being let out another strange laugh before answering, "They’ve gone to a place everyone longs for."
Lin Feng’s face was etched with a cold sneer. Previously, those divine weapons, demon weapons, had said that the terrible existence within this valley was profoundly evil and malevolent, destroying one’s body and enslaving the soul.
Perhaps those who had sold their souls to it were already devoured?
"Boy, how have you considered? If you obediently comply with me, I will not mistreat you. If you fail to appreciate my kindness, I will make you regret coming into this world."
The deep, mysterious presence spoke again, its voice teeming with a chilling murderous intent.
Lin Feng remained indifferent, "I am actually curious to see whether you can destroy my body."
"You truly have a death wish. Since that’s the case, then I shall show you just how miserable the fate of defying me can be"!
A cold voice came from the deep.
Then a beam of demonic light surged over, blasting towards Lin Feng.
"Chaos Ancient Lamp." With a thought from Lin Feng, he summoned his life-bound magical treasure; the Chaos Ancient Lamp hovered above him, and its Chaos Ancestral Qi fell downward, enveloping Lin Feng in its protection.
The demonic light fiercely struck the Chaos Ancestral Qi formed by the Chaos Ancient Lamp, and even with the connection to the lamp, Lin Feng was sent flying.
He smashed heavily against the rock wall, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered.
The attack from that dark presence was truly horrifying.
The Chaos Ancestral Qi formed by the Chaos Ancient Lamp was almost dispersed by the shock.
"What? An artifact forged from Chaos Ancestral Qi?"
The deep existence was clearly taken aback. He demanded, "Where did you get the Chaos Ancestral Qi?"
"Heh heh, let me out and I will tell you. How about this deal?" Lin Feng climbed up from the ground, grinning as he spoke.
The voice from the depths was icy cold to the extreme, "By swallowing you, this seat will naturally know. Your Chaos Ancient Lamp is a great tonic for this seat. What a bright future star, a Favored Son of Heaven, and now you will become this seat’s nourishment."
The existence from the depths made its move again, a dense swarm of Demonic Qi surged forth, drowning Lin Feng.
The initial assault was just a wisp of Demonic Qi, yet it had injured Lin Feng, almost destroying the Chaos Ancestral Qi formed by the Chaos Ancient Lamp.
Now, with this dense tide of Demonic Qi rolling in, it was clear that the deep existence intended to exterminate Lin Feng and then devour his Chaos Ancient Lamp.
Lin Feng knew that there was no way he could withstand this strike.
It was too terrifying, completely beyond what someone of his level could contend with. Even a mighty figure would likely be instantly obliterated upon arrival.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth. He attempted to stimulate the demon orb, hoping this treasure would prove effective in a critical moment, but what frustrated Lin Feng immensely was that the demon orb remained indifferent. No matter how Lin Feng summoned, he couldn’t call it forth. He then attempted to summon the "Xuanming Demon Book"; although he wasn’t clear on the hidden secrets of the Xuanming Demon Book, since it could withstand the demon orb, it must also be an existence of extreme horror.
However, Lin Feng also found it difficult to activate the Xuanming Demon Book, which was a huge pitfall that left him on the verge of tears. At this moment, the Holy Emperor Stone emitted intense fluctuations.
Lin Feng was surprised; he had not stimulated the Holy Emperor Stone.
Among the three treasures, the Holy Emperor Stone was the last consideration due to its bizarre nature. Every attempt to activate the Holy Emperor Stone would torture him to the brink of life and death, and with a slight misstep, he could lose his life.
Therefore, when it came to activating the Holy Emperor Stone, Lin Feng always held a sense of awe and was exceedingly cautious.
But what Lin Feng didn’t expect was that the Holy Emperor Stone would spontaneously emit such astonishing fluctuations.
The next moment, the Holy Emperor Stone flew out, hovering above Lin Feng.
This time the Holy Emperor Stone did not inflict any damage on Lin Feng’s body.
Perhaps it had much to do with the Holy Emperor Stone acting of its own accord.
When the endless Demonic Light surged forth, the Holy Emperor Stone emitted a blood light that reached the sky, instantly breaking through the demonic light.
Then, the Holy Emperor Stone charged into the mid-air, exuding a terrifying majesty.
"Through thousands of rebirths, and descendents of countless calamities, my undying will cannot be eroded."
A low voice emerged from the Holy Emperor Stone.
Next, within the endless blood-colored light, a blurry figure appeared.
"It’s you, Military Saint. Dammit, dammit, you still have remnants lingering in this world. I must destroy your remnants"!
Suddenly, the deep existence saw the vague figure within the blood light and roared furiously.
"Military Saint Han Feizi, one of the Human Clan’s Hundred Saints from the Ancient Era."
Lin Feng was profoundly shocked.
Ancient Times, that dazzling and splendid grand era, was when the power of the Human Clan reached its pinnacle.
That surely was the most glorious period for the Human Clan.
A hundred saints emerged concurrently, a scenario unprecedented since the creation of heaven and earth. And Military Saint Han Feizi was one of those Hundred Saints.
