Chapter 684: Chapter 672: Ancient Fierce Object

Besides Luo Qingming, under the doubtful gazes of the Chu Family, 2,600 Yin Corpses slowly sank into the black fog below. At the moment the Yin Corpses entered the black fog, Shi Feng suddenly sensed something through the Yin Corpse Group and his figure instantly moved, hurtling rapidly into the rolling black fog!

Within the rolling black fog, the densely packed Yin Corpses paused their descent momentarily. Shi Feng, falling downward, came to a stop beside Di Sha, his gaze fixed on what was in Di Sha’s right hand.

At that moment, in Di Sha’s hand, was a palm-sized creature roughly shaped like a fish, utterly black, and its body was covered with eyes. This disgusting creature was as if staring angrily with all its eyes.

It suddenly opened its single mouth at the top, about the size of a fist, revealing two rows of jagged, sharp teeth, resembling broken glass pieces, incomplete and fierce. In Di Sha’s grasp, it struggled to break free, emitting a piercing and unpleasant screech.

"This is a Soul Devouring Worm!" Shi Feng speculated, recalling a record from an ancient tome.

The Soul Devouring Worm, a mysterious creature from the Ancient Period, pitch-black and filled with eyes, fed on Souls of Living Beings and inherently possessed a mysterious Soul Attack Technique!

"It must be this beast! When I previously sent my Soul Thought into this black fog to investigate, I was attacked. It seemed to be this beast’s doing!" Shi Feng observed the Soul Devouring Worm and said.

Then, with a thought, Shi Feng sent a sliver of Soul Thought towards the Soul Devouring Worm in Di Sha’s hand!

At that moment, Shi Feng suddenly felt a mysterious Soul Fluctuation emanate from the eyes of the Soul Devouring Worm, assaulting the sliver of his Soul Thought as though it intended to viciously bite it!

"Indeed, it’s this beast!" Shi Feng said, and promptly retracted the Soul Thought.

Then, Shi Feng said to Di Sha, "Crush this beast to death!"

As soon as Shi Feng’s words fell, Di Sha exerted his strength mightily. With a loud "Bang," the Soul Devouring Worm was crushed by Di Sha, and a stream of green viscous liquid sprayed out.

In that instant, Shi Feng’s Soul Power operated, and he immediately captured the soul of the Soul Devouring Worm!

The ancient tome recorded that this kind of creature fed on the Souls of Living Beings, yet they were also a great tonic for Souls of Living Beings! Consuming its soul could nourish one’s own soul!

After Shi Feng devoured the soul of the Soul Devouring Worm, it felt like a spring of spiritual water had been sprinkled upon his soul. A sense of clarity and comfort pervaded his body, and his Soul Power, which had been difficult to enhance, was instantly sublimated!

"Indeed, not bad! There should be more of these creatures within this black fog!" Feeling the change in his own soul, Shi Feng nodded satisfactorily.

With another thought, the densely packed Yin Corpse Group began to whirl and Shi Feng, like a fisherman casting a wide net, set out to capture more Soul Devouring Worms.

Soul Devouring Worms possessed a mysterious Soul Technique that could attack the souls of living beings. However, they had virtually no other offensive power. To these Yin Corpses, lacking souls, they were the natural nemesis of the Soul Devouring Worms. The enigmatic Soul Technique of the worms was completely ineffective against them.

Shi Feng ordered most of the Yin Corpses to capture the Soul Devouring Worms and directed a few to continue exploring beneath the veil of black fog. As he himself slowly descended, a flash of blood-colored light enveloped him, clothing him in the Blood-colored Battle Armor.

The extent of this unknown black fog and the depths it reached were uncertain, as was what might lie below. Shi Feng dared not take it lightly. After all, Luo Qingchuan, along with the Luo Family’s Great Elder and dozens of the family’s experts, had all entered this fog and then completely vanished.

No sooner had he entered with his group of Yin Corpses than he encountered the Soul Devouring Worms from the Ancient Period. Who could tell what other powerful ancient beings he might encounter next?

It wasn’t long before six Yin Corpses, led by Di Sha, flew toward Shi Feng, each holding one of the ancient, enigmatic Soul Devouring Worms.

As they neared Shi Feng, a succession of "boom boom boom boom" explosive sounds rang out, with seven Soul Devouring Worms crushed to pieces by the seven Yin Corpses in the blink of an eye.

Shi Feng then once again circulated his Soul Power to devour the souls of these seven Soul Devouring Worms. The clear, refreshing sensation once again suffused his entire body. Shi Feng’s soul was once again a step closer to sublime refinement!

At this moment, Shi Feng could sense that he had reached the Two-star Saint Level of Soul Power. With the accumulation of the souls of the Martial Artists he had vanquished earlier, plus the souls of the eight Soul Devouring Worms he had just consumed, his Soul Power was on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Di Sha, descend further to explore, the rest of the six Yin Corpses, continue to capture the Soul Devouring Worms!" At the thought of Shi Feng, another command was issued to the surrounding Yin Corpses. He felt that it was safer to have Di Sha take the lead into the deeper black fog world, but he did not want to stop the capture of the worms.

Under Shi Feng’s command, six Fifth-stage Emperor-level Yin Corpses flew out in six different directions while Di Sha positioned himself beneath Shi Feng, slowly descending.

"Yaaah!" Just then, a strange and shrill screech came from below. Upon hearing that bizarre sound, Shi Feng and Di Sha’s figures suddenly moved, chasing the source of the noise as they dropped rapidly downward.

Before long, Shi Feng saw a creature as pale as death and as large as a small hill, shaped like a serpent yet with long legs like a centipede, appearing below with its mouth open, revealing two rows of sharp, fearsome fangs, exuding a violent and terrifying presence.

A dense, ancient aura surged toward Shi Feng and Di Sha.

"An Eighth-stage Saint-level Ancient Fierce Object!" Shi Feng said upon seeing the pale creature.

"Go smash it!" he then ordered Di Sha.

Upon hearing Shi Feng’s command, Di Sha, with his body inverted, head down and feet up, charged downward. Immediately after, he threw a punch at the head of the pale ancient creature, blowing it to pieces with a single blow!

Even an Eighth-stage Saint-level creature, no matter how formidable an ancient evil it was, had no power to resist against Di Sha!

Shi Feng quickly devoured the Power of Death, Soul Power, and blood of the ancient evil creature. The mountainous ancient beast quickly shriveled into an enormous mummified corpse, falling into even denser and more majestic black fog below.

Looking downward, Shi Feng’s expression grew more solemn as he murmured, "What secrets lie within this Undying Mountain, this secret land, this black fog? How can these ancient beings, which should be extinct, still exist here? And what might I encounter if I descend further?"
