The Infinite Mystery

"What exactly was that woman just now?" Qin Feng thought for a while about the ghostly woman and asked.

The little girl replied: "She was also like me at first, however, as time passed, she transformed into a strange thing which you saw earlier. She can now create illusion and kill people before absorbing their soul energy, strengthening her own soul."

After hearing the little girl's explanation, Qin Feng even felt a cold in his bones. He didn't expect to encounter something like this after coming to this place.

"Big Brother, you don't have to be too scared. Now that her illusion is broken by you, she won't come again." The little girl comforted Qin Feng.

Qin Feng nodded and then carefully looked at the surrounding terrain. There was a cliff behind and a valley in front. But Qin Feng clearly remembered that this was not the valley he had just entered.

Qin Feng took a careful step forward and the scenery suddenly changed. The surrounding environment changed once again. Qin Feng's heartbeat suddenly speeded up, as he suddenly understood that there is an ancient formation laid here that changes the surrounding after a condition is fulfilled. As for what those conditions are, Qin Feng currently didn't know.

Now, when he Looked behind, he could still see a cliff just like before. However, the scenery in front of him has changed. It means that the cliff is real. If he is to fall down the cliff, who knows what will happen.

Qin Feng sighed. Since he could do nothing about the ancient formation, he could only move forward and not back.

Currently, there was a swamp in front of Qin Feng. The black water in the swamp was endless, revealing endless vitality for some reason.

Qin Feng again took a step forward, but this time there was no space conversion. He just took a step forward and that's all. Qin Feng continued to go forward. In the swamp, there were some connected lands. Qin Feng walked over there.

Now Qin Feng couldn't use his spirit energy or his spiritual sense, causing him unable to scan the surroundings. Fortunately, the little girl was still following behind him for some reason. Qin Feng neither asked the reason nor did he tell her not to follow him, for her help could be needed at any moment.

As he was walking forward, on the road ahead, a skeleton suddenly appeared lying on the ground while holding a sword in its hand.

The long sword was exuding a dignified that made it look like a holy weapon. And the bones of the skeleton were also swollen like jade. Obviously, this person must be very strong before death.

Arriving in front of the skeleton, Qin Feng extended his hand and took the sword from the skeleton's hand. He had just taken the sword, and suddenly the black water in the swamp swooped on Qin Feng as if it had come alive and wanted to swallow him.

Qin Feng was on guard at all times. Grabbing the long sword, he immediately retreated. And when he retreated, Qin Feng noticed a strange creature swimming in the black water.

It looks like a monkey with long hands and long feet and is completely black. It was completely hidden in the black water. If Qin Feng's eyesight was not sharp, he wouldn't have been able to see it.

It was only over three feet tall, but the black water seems to listen to its call and was wrapping around it, as if protecting the strange monkey from Qin Feng or any other outer force.

The monkey once again attacked with the black water, swooping the water over like a wave, wanting to drown Qin Feng.

Before the black water arrived, a foul breath came, making Qin Feng almost vomit. At the same time, he felt slightly dizzy in his head. Obviously, the black water was very weird and had already affected his body greatly.

"Shua!"

Qin Feng slashed with the long sword that he snatched from the skeleton. Although he could not use spirit energy, his body's strength was still very powerful. The water waves that were also dozens of feet long were cut by a sword slash as a gap appeared. Qin Feng didn't want to give that strange creature any chance to attack again. Without letting the water touch his body, Qin Feng jumped and passed through the gap appearing because of the cut made by Qin Feng's sword.

"Shua!"

Qin Feng once again slashed but this time, he aimed at the strange creature, causing it to let out a painful screech before half of its body was shattered, turning into the black water and falling into the swamp again. Maybe, the creature was scared and knew it was no match for Qin Feng, it quickly turned around and escaped into the black water like a swimming fish.

As it receded, those riotous black waters followed and returned to the swamp, restoring peace in the surroundings once again.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. His attack was able to shatter the strange creature's body not only because of his physical strength but also because of the sword in his hand. Qin Feng could feel the sword's strength. This sword was at least a Low Levelled Immortal Level Sword that is almost impossible to find in the current Profound Spirit Continent. As for how did it appear here, the history of the Profound Spirit Continent is too long. It was still there in his previous life. It was this Profound Spirit Continent that gave birth to the strange material which chose Qin Feng as its master and transformed into the Star Sword on its own.

So, it was not really strange for an Immortal Level weapon to appear. The strange thing was the appearance of the Immortal Sword and skeleton at this place which leads to the core of the world.

If he did not encounter this Immortal sword, he also would have been corroded by the black water, leaving only a pile of skeletons just like the master of this sword. Maybe, that person was not on his guard or he underestimated the black water greatly, resulting in his current state.

Well, it is not like he couldn't use the Star Sword which was currently floating in the sky of Mysterious Space of the Infinity Symbol, it is just that Qin Feng doesn't want to use the Star Sword right now. He wanted to see how far he could go without using Star Sword.

After the black water receded into the swamp once again, the ground suddenly began to melt slowly. Those places on the ground which were touched by the black water started melting. Qin Feng felt goosebumps all over his body just by seeing this scene.

Fortunately, the land in the swamp was not limited, there was still a path for him to walk forward.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng looked around for the little girl, only to find out that the little girl has disappeared at some unknown time.

Shaking his head, Qin Feng carried the Immortal Sword and walked forward cautiously. When he reached a narrow path, the black water in the swamp around him suddenly became violent once again. At the same time, hundreds of those strange creatures emerged their heads from deep into the swamp and swooped waves of black water at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was startled for a moment and immediately understood that things are not that simple. The escaped individual must have summoned all of his companions, wanting to take revenge for what Qin Feng has done to it.

They are a kind of creatures that have not been seen yet in the outside world. They are scary only because of living in black water and having the ability to control black water. With his previous attack, Qin Feng had already determined that these creatures' own defense is extremely low.

Although Qin Feng has lost his Spirit Energy and Spiritual Sense, it doesn't mean he is helpless. His Sword Intent was still there, at the same time, he could still release his Martial Spirit. With these cards up his sleeve, Qin Feng was not really afraid of these creatures.

Qin Feng immediately erupted with sharp Sword Intent, causing the Immortal Sword in his hand to shimmer with brilliant light, and the next instant, an invisible sharp sword wave swept in all directions.

The sharp sword waves collided with the black water waves, defaulting them immediately. But the sword wave didn't stop. The strange creatures wrapped in the black water were immediately crushed by the horrible sword waves.

Immediately after those strange creatures were killed by Qin Feng, Qin Feng felt a strange energy drilling inside his body. This strange energy was quickly absorbed by him.

"Boom"

A muffled sound came out from his body and Qin Feng suddenly felt the seal on his cultivation opening slightly, causing immense spirit energy to suddenly appear. But it was at that moment that the seal closed once again.

"Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm!"
