Chapter 1466: Chapter 875: The Deal, Black Great Tomb (Part 3)
Those shadowy figures were of various shapes, some resembling humans, some like beasts, and some were indescribable.
They were entirely made of black Demon Flames, exuding a violent aura, devoid of any intelligence, with only a pure desire for slaughter in their eyes.
"It’s the Demon Fire Monsters!" A voice from one of the black-robed figures exclaimed in shock, "So many!"
Lu Qing cast his gaze swiftly.
This batch of monsters numbered at least thirty heads.
Upon discovering the group, they immediately charged forward frantically with astonishing speed.
Qiu Ruofeng snorted coldly and waved his hand.
A beam of dark light flew from his sleeve, instantly piercing several monsters at the front.
Those monsters let out a piercing howl, their bodies exploding, turning into countless sparks that dissipated into darkness.
Leaving nothing behind.
The other black-robed figures also began to take action.
Clearly experienced, they had spent a long time in this Demon Abyss and knew how to deal with these monsters.
Various magical treasures flew out, engaging the monsters in battle, quickly slaying more than half.
Lu Qing still didn’t make a move.
He quietly observed those monsters, watching their every move.
Despite their ferocity, these monsters attacked in extremely simplistic ways, knowing only to charge recklessly without any hint of technique.
It seemed they lacked any intelligence, acting purely on instinct for slaughter.
Moreover, once killed, they completely vanished, leaving no trace behind.
As if they never existed.
"Where do these things come from?" Lu Qing asked.
Qiu Ruofeng replied while slaying monsters, "No one knows. Some say they form from the condensing of Demonic Qi. Some say fallen cultivators here were transformed after being eroded by Demonic Qi.
But no one can say for sure. Anyway, these Demon Abysses are full of them, never-ending.
At first, there were even many around the outskirts, but we cleared them out."
Lu Qing nodded, not asking further questions.
Soon, these thirty monsters were entirely eliminated.
The group pressed forward.
But after walking for a while, another batch of monsters appeared.
This time, the number was larger, totalling about a hundred, surrounding them from all directions and attacking wildly.
The group took action again.
These monsters seemed even fiercer, rushing forward without any sense of fear.
Several broke through the defense, rushing in front of a black-robed man, opening their mouths to bite.
The black-robed man shouted angrily, his magical treasure shining brightly, shattering those monsters, yet a few strands of Demon Flame clung to him, sizzling and burning.
The black-robed man’s expression changed, hurriedly using mana to expel those strands of Demon Flame from his body.
With this delay, even more monsters surged forward.
Lu Qing still did not act.
He just observed.
He noticed that these monsters, though numerous, were attacking very diversely.
They seemed not specifically targeting anyone, attacking anyone they saw without any order.
Moreover, no matter how many were killed, they never retreated.
In this endless darkness, it felt as if countless monsters were waiting for prey.
"Speed up!" Qiu Ruofeng shouted, "Don’t engage in prolonged combat!"
As they slaughtered monsters, they pushed forward.
The journey ahead became exceptionally difficult.
Those Demon Fire Monsters seemed endless, unable to be fully killed.
Sometimes just a dozen, sometimes hundreds, wave after wave left them weary and struggling.
The black-robed figures started to show injuries.
Though not severe, they accumulated and significantly reduced their vigor.
Qiu Ruofeng’s expression grew increasingly grave.
"Something feels off," he murmured, "Today’s monsters are far more numerous than usual, as if something is driving them."
A black-robed man said, "Could it be the Black and White Temple acting on something?"
Qiu Ruofeng shook his head, "Not sure. Regardless, we need to speed up. Continuing like this will exhaust us before reaching the destination."
The group gritted their teeth and hurried forward.
Lu Qing remained inactive.
He kept watching, sensing.
He could feel that, though these monsters were ferocious, they lacked any intelligence, acting solely on instinct.
Their emergence seemed to follow some pattern, not entirely random.
But he needed more time to observe what pattern specifically.
After flying for an unknown duration, the darkness ahead began to change.
The once thick, impenetrable darkness started thinning.
The surrounding Demonic Qi concentration gradually decreased.
The endlessly swarming Demon Fire Monsters began reducing in number, finally disappearing entirely.
The group sighed in relief, pausing to recuperate.
"Finally out," one black-robed man said with lingering fear, "We encountered at least a thousand monsters along the way."
"If it weren’t for Mr. Lu accompanying us, we probably wouldn’t have made it this far," another black-robed man said, looking at Lu Qing with more gratitude.
Qiu Ruofeng also glanced at Lu Qing, a look of doubt in his eyes.
He noticed that throughout the journey, Lu Qing hadn’t acted, simply following them silently.
Yet strangely, the monsters seemed to intentionally or unintentionally avoid him, not a single one attacking him directly.
"Mr. Lu is truly extraordinary," Qiu Ruofeng remarked, "Even monsters dare not approach."
Lu Qing smiled faintly, not explaining.
After resting briefly, the group moved ahead.
The darkness ahead grew increasingly sparse until eventually, a dim, eerie glow appeared.
That light was faint and strange, standing out in the endless darkness.
The group accelerated toward the light.
Finally, crossing the last layer of darkness, the sight before them involuntarily brought them to a halt.
Ahead was a vast mountain range.
The mountains were entirely black, stretching across the darkness without visible end.
The mountains lacked any vegetation, only bizarre rocks and omnipresent black Demon Flames.
The Demon Flames burned in the mountain, reflecting the entire scene as a phantom realm.
In the depths of the mountains, a massive structure was faintly visible.
The building half-disappeared in the Demon Flames, completely black, emanating an ancient and vast aura.
Its shape resembled a palace, or perhaps a tomb, indistinct to the eyes.
"We’re here," Qiu Ruofeng said, staring at the building with excitement in his voice, "That is the site of the Fallen Mysterious Transformation Great Power."
Lu Qing calmly gazed at the building, his eyes deep.
He could sense that the structure concealed an incredibly powerful aura.
An aura ancient and eternal, existing through endless ages, yet imposing an inexplicable pressure.
"Let’s go," he said nonchalantly, leading the flight towards the mountains.
The group quickly followed.
