Everlasting Chapter 686 Cavern (1/2)

Chen Feng's Immortal-binding Rope was already a grade 3 Sacred artefact. Golden light flashed as it easily tied up the black silhouette. No sign of corrosion could be seen on the rope.

“Come, let's see what this is.” Chen Feng beckoned to pull the Immortal-binding Rope over. However, the black silhouette suddenly exploded with a boom before disappearing and energy streams flowed out to fuse with the surrounding malevolent energy.

“Eh, it disappeared? Just what is it?” Jian Xiaotian had also fired out several sword beams at it earlier, but his attacks missed.

“I don't know either.” Chen Feng channelled his eye power. However, with the exception of the malevolent energy streams hovering in the air, he was incapable of seeing anything else.

“How strange!”

His eyes swept the place again and again and his vision of the s.p.a.ce there took on a layered quality. He became capable of seeing the flow of spiritual and malevolent energy streams and the rate of their flow.

A clump of malevolent energy was rapidly condensing and it quickly formed yet another black silhouette. This time, the black silhouette directly charged towards Chen Feng. Its movement speed surpa.s.sed that of the previous one, creating rumbling sounds in its wake.

Kacha!

Chen Feng waved his hand and a sphere of lightning slammed against the black silhouette.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Like a volcanic eruption, lightning powers spread out and the black silhouette dispersed. Next, a round bead fell into Chen Feng's hand.

“It must be something formed through the condensation of the malevolent energy. Because malevolent energy is of the yin-type, it fears lightning powers the most. However, what is this bead?” Chen Feng said, a.s.sessing the round bead in his hand.

“Could it be a Form a.s.sembly Bead formed by the malevolent energy?”

“Possible. This bead contains very pure malevolent and death energies. Additionally, there are also some complex magic arrays inside. It seems like these magic arrays are naturally-occurring arrays. They have some research value.”

“a.s.sembling the surrounding malevolent energy to take form and attack. How wondrous! I have only heard of it in the past. This is my first time seeing it.”

“This is probably not the only one.” Chen Feng's eyes kept sweeping the area.

“I'll go collect the spiritual herbs first.” Jian Xiaotian's figure dashed forward to appear before a one-chi-tall spiritual gra.s.s. Next, he extended a hand to pluck it up.

The spiritual herb shone with a silvery-white l.u.s.tre and it sported a total of 13 leaves. Every leaf was seemingly moulded from steel, its splendour put on full display.

That was the Spiritual Astroyang Gra.s.s. This spiritual herb could be found in the outside world as well. However, as this gra.s.s was growing within a place filled with malevolent energy, it had undergone some changes.

As Jian Xiaotian was in the process of collecting the spiritual herb, the malevolent energy around converged once more and three black silhouettes pounced upon Jian Xiaotian.

“I've been waiting for you! Skywheel Shattersword!” Jian Xiaotian fired out the move that he had been preparing and sword beam after sword beam sprayed out like a volcanic eruption. Like an exploding meteor, the move instantly engulfed the three black silhouettes.

At the same time, Chen Feng finally noticed the small, grey-coloured beads floating in the air. The round beads – formed by the malevolent energy streams – had fused with the surrounding malevolent energy streams. Moreover, there were also the spatial fluctuations there. Due to all those factors, Chen Feng had actually failed to notice them with his Magic Eyes of Darkness earlier.

The moment the beads appeared, the surrounding streams of malevolent energy converged. Instantly, the surrounding s.p.a.ce became empty as all of the malevolent and death energies disappeared completely.

Next, over 100 black silhouettes appeared inside the cavern. Several of them were constantly twisting and roiling about. They were showing signs of attaining solid form.

“There are so many!” Chen Feng was somewhat shocked.

Next, the black silhouettes attacked Chen Feng and Jian Xiaotian, seemingly enveloping the entire cavern. Despite their disorderly actions, the black silhouettes were actually capable of formidable physical attacks. At the same time, they could also unleash attacks using death energy. The death energy spread out through peculiar energy waves, capable of entering a cultivator's sea of wisdom to erode one's soul and transform one into a mindless monster.

“Heavengulping Absorption Technique!”

Chen Feng stretched his right hand out and a rapidly rotating vortex appeared on his palm. Next, strands of death energy were pulled into Chen Feng's palm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, the beads exploded, the malevolent energy contained within them dissipating in a flash. As for the death energy, they could not endanger Chen Feng. Rather, Chen Feng stored the death energy within his Death acupoint.

Shua!

The Death Sword swung out and one bead after another exploded.   The Death Sword roared, seemingly having caught a whiff of something delicious. Next, it sent out a formidable suction force to suck in the surrounding death energy.

For Chen Feng, dealing with the black silhouettes was very easy. However, it was a different matter for Jian Xiaotian. Three black silhouettes surrounded Jian Xiaotian and they kept launching attacks at him.

Formidable attacks mixed with peculiar attacks using the death energy made it hard for Jian Xiaotian to defend himself.

However, Jian Xiaotian made use of his Absolute Combat Const.i.tution, powerful blood energy, formidable fleshly body and condensed soul to fight back. Although he was somewhat fl.u.s.tered by the attacks, he was not grievously wounded.

“Thunderclap Bead!” Jian Xiaotian was finally incapable of holding on. Swinging his hand, he sent a bead out. The bead exploded and three black silhouettes that were struck by the explosion of lightning instantly dispersed.

As expected, this is not a place for the average cultivator. There are probably only a few like me, a cultivator at level 7 of the Sky Human stage. Logically speaking, entering this place is just suicide for someone like me. Thankfully, I have some magic treasures granted to me by my master. That is how I managed to endure this long. Having reached that line of thought, Jian Xiaotian then turned to look at Chen Feng, who was having an easy time against the black silhouettes.

Of course, monstrous characters like Brother Chen are very rare.

At the very least, Jian Xiaotian had never seen anyone more monstrous than Chen Feng. Although Chen Feng would often resort to using his magic treasures when facing formidable opponents, a cultivator's magic treasures were considered part of the cultivator's strength in the world of cultivation.

In truth, seeing that would not cause other cultivators to despise Chen Feng. Rather, they would feel highly envious of him.

“Finally, we managed to finish off these ghost-like creatures. Hopefully, that is the last of them,” Jian Xiaotian said, extending his hand to pull out a Spiritual Astroyang Gra.s.s.
