Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Great Ups and Downs

"What’s going on!" Shi Feng’s bloodstained face moved, and although no expression could be discerned at the moment, his voice was filled with shock and incomprehension.

He had been about to activate the Blood-colored Stone Stele in the palm of his left hand, but he discovered that his body had suddenly stopped obeying him, as if he had lost control over it altogether.

The violent dark lightning, bursting with immense power, was rapidly converging towards him. Each streak of ferocious lightning brought a torrent of powerful energy that, when it finally gathered on him, left Shi Feng in no doubt; even with the Blood-colored Battle Armor, he would be completely annihilated, turned to ashes and dust!

"What is going on here!" he roared furiously. To encounter such an unknown anomaly at this critical moment was maddening.

Then, the somber voice of the Black Demon Eye sounded again, "Insect! Have you given up resisting? Even if you resist, it is futile. Dying like this is somewhat peaceful."

"To die this way, I’m not willing!" It was rare for him to be reborn, rare for him to have gotten this far. Not having yet unleashed the powerful capabilities of the Blood-colored Stone Stele, Shi Feng was truly unwilling to die in this situation.

Dozens of black lightning bolts encircling Shi Feng seemed about to converge on him when suddenly, he saw the impending black lightning bolts abruptly stop.

"What’s happened? This! This!"

"What’s going on now?"

Shi Feng and the Black Demon Eye’s surprised voices rang out simultaneously. On Shi Feng’s blood-streaked face, a look mixed with resentment, anger, and the freshly emerged surprise could faintly be seen.

Following that, Shi Feng saw a fist-sized golden light burst out from his chest, stopping in front of it. Immediately afterward, beams of golden light shot out from the Source of All Things.

"Son of a bitch! So it was you causing trouble!" Seeing the golden light, Shi Feng immediately understood what had just happened—it was the Source of All Things! Only then did Shi Feng realize that the Sacred Flame within him had fallen into a dormant state.

"My power! How has my power disappeared! Why can’t I move!" Under the golden radiance of the Source of All Things, the seemingly violent and fierce black lightning bolts disappeared instantly, while a golden light beam from the Source of All Things shot into the black demon fog and struck the Black Demon Eye.

Under the illumination of the golden light beam, the Black Demon Eye, like Shi Feng, lost its ability to move. The dense black demon fog and the immense power vanished in an instant, leaving only a sinister black eye within the golden light beam.

Then, Shi Feng saw the golden light beam enveloping the Black Demon Eye roll back towards him, bringing the eye along.

"This... this thing... I remember now! I remember! The Source of All Things! This is the Source of All Things! Boy, how do you possess the Source of All Things!" shouted the Black Demon Eye, engulfed by the golden light beam. "The Source of All Things, what are you trying to do to me! How dare you!"

"This thing, it can’t be planning to!" Shi Feng had already guessed the intention of the Source of All Things because on his bloodied face, the third Evil Eye, the Corrosive Evil Eye, uncontrollably flared open!

"Ah!" from the Black Demon Eye, there came one last piercing scream. Suddenly, the Priest Hall of the Snake-man Race became completely silent, the ground stopped shaking, and the hall ceased trembling. The Black Demon Eye, drawn by the Source of All Things, flew to Shi Feng’s face in an instant.

A golden Light Pillar also shone on Shi Feng’s bloodied forehead at the same time, and the Black Demon Eye, along with the golden light, flew towards Shi Feng’s third eye, into the Corrosive Evil Eye.

"Ah!" A surge of intense pain immediately came from Shi Feng’s third eye. It felt as though his own eye was being crushed alive.

"Son of a bitch! You’re messing up again!" Amidst the intense pain, Shi Feng cursed at the Source of All Things. However, this time he was somewhat thankful for this "son of a bitch’s" intervention, as his life was finally spared even without the Blood-colored Stone Stele being activated! The Blood-colored Stone Stele, as well as the Small Sacred Land he had painstakingly established, was also preserved.

"Ah! Son of a bitch, be gentle!" At this moment, Shi Feng again felt as if a force was stirring within the socket of his third eye. The pain immediately intensified, and his bloody face became even more ferocious and frightening.

Fortunately, Shi Feng’s pain tolerance was exceptionally strong, far exceeding that of ordinary people, and he gritted his teeth and endured.

After enduring the severe pain for half an hour, Shi Feng finally noticed that the intense pain in his third eye began to slowly subside. Soon after, one by one, the golden Light Pillars from the Source of All Things reflected back towards the Source of All Things itself, including the golden Light Pillar that had been shining on Shi Feng’s forehead.

Afterward, the Source of All Things surged towards Shi Feng’s chest with a shock, once again entering Shi Feng’s body.

As the Source of All Things disappeared, Shi Feng found that he regained control of his body and his third eye unconsciously closed slowly.

"Boy, what did you just do to me? It’s that feeling again! This is the second time!" At that time, within Shi Feng’s body, the voice of Sacred Flame arose angrily once again, having awoken alongside the return of the Source of All Things to Shi Feng’s body.

Then, Sacred Flame continued angrily, "What about that Demon Eye? Just like last time, I fell into unconsciousness, and when I woke up, the Corrosive Evil Eye had disappeared too? Could it be..."

"That’s right, it has been tamed by me!" Shi Feng silently nodded and said, then with a thought, the third eye on his forehead opened again. Now, his third eye had turned a deep black color, yet the eyeball still showed a grey hue—an aberration from the fusion of the Black Demon Eye and the Corrosive Evil Eye.

"Boy, what secrets do you hold inside you! You must confess, otherwise having that secret makes me feel very uneasy!" the Sacred Flame responded, sensing the transformation in Shi Feng’s third eye and clamoring.

"It’s alright, everyone has some secrets, there’s no need to blurt them out. Besides, my Dantian is shattered, you and I are one; during this period, we have grown together, and I have seen your extraordinary abilities. I can’t do without you, how could I harm you?" Shi Feng said.

"Hmph! Despicable, sneaky, and cunning Human Clan, I’d be a fool to trust you!" Sacred Flame said coldly, then continued, "Initially, I fell into this state because I believed your lies!"

Then, Shi Feng no longer spoke with Sacred Flame. Although there were not many serious injuries, his face was marred, and his hair was all burned black, a devastating blow for any handsome man.

Immediately, Shi Feng formed Sealing gestures with both hands and uttered in a low voice, "Eternal Endurance, Nine Nether Longevity!"
