C24 cave
Ever since he entered the underground cave, he had killed hundreds of lizard monsters. He had no idea how long he had walked, but he still hadn't found anything that could suppress the Yellow Springs Stone.
"The corpse aura seems to be weakening!" Wei Qitian looked to the left and his sharp senses sensed the change.
"From the looks of it, it is very likely that the object is in my left hand. There's no time to lose, let's go take a look first!"
After he finished speaking, Wei Qitian immediately flew towards that place. The more he went about his assault, the thinner the corpse energy became, and in the end, he could not even feel a trace of it.
"Is this the place?" Wei Qitian looked around and only saw an endless desolation. Beneath his feet was a scarlet red soil, and above his head was the ground. There was nothing else, not even a large rock.
Wei Qitian continued to walk forward, but he immediately felt the faint corpse Qi, which meant that his previous resting place was the correct place to go.
Returning to his original spot, Wei Qitian shifted his gaze below his feet. There was only one direction he had not explored before.
His expression turned serious and he quickly gathered all the strength in his body. He pierced through his right arm with force. With faint blue lightning mixed in, he heavily struck the ground.
Lightning flashed and dust surged. Huge cracks spread out from the fist in all directions, like a spider's web. In an instant, it covered the end of one's line of sight.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the entire ground started to cave in, before Wei Qitian could even stand steadily, his body started to uncontrollably fall down.
His eyes and hands were quick, and he reacted in an instant. His legs stomped rapidly in the air, constantly relying on other crushed stones to deflect the force, and finally fell into an unknown space.
"It's actually a cave in a cave, it's really amazing!" Wei Qitian said, suddenly coming to this pitch-black space, not only did he not feel alarmed, he was even a bit excited.
"Fire!" As he spoke, the spirit tattoos on his body flashed as a fiery red line illuminated the darkness nearby.
Once there was light, Wei Qitian's body suddenly trembled, he saw a lot of things.
Beneath his feet was a black soil that was almost no different from the outside world. However, the temperature of this soil gave him a great shock. He was sure that if he placed a piece of paper on the ground, it would definitely spontaneously combust.
Not only that, he also felt the aura of life, because at this moment, countless gazes were focused on him at the same time.
Facing the flames, Wei Qitian saw many bright spots of light in the distance. They were densely packed and flickering with cold light, making people shudder in fear.
This light dot was none other than the eyes of the mysterious being. They stared at Wei Qitian without blinking, as if they had come with ill intent.
"Let me see your real faces!"
Wei Qitian said. The fire spirit patterns flickered intensely, and emitted an even brighter light, breaking through the darkness and widening his vision.
At this moment, he saw countless giant bats hanging upside down. Each bat had a pair of sinister fangs, and their entire bodies were blood-red, like demons that sucked blood.
"Tsk tsk ?"
Immediately after, the bats released sinister laughter, and rushed down towards Wei Qitian.
"apocalypse!"
Without saying a word, Wei Qitian slashed horizontally at the sky with his right hand, and a ray of electricity flew out from his palm and rushed into the group of bats.
Shocking rays of electricity flickered resplendently. They were like electric dragons as they shuttled back and forth in the air. Wherever they passed by, the bats that were hit would all powerlessly fall down to the ground and turn into fine powder.
However, even so, they were still unable to stop the majestic army of bats. They continued to rush over from afar, like a black tide, wave after wave, as if there was no end to it.
"Tsk tsk ?"
There was a group of bats that did not attack Wei Qitian, but only flew around him. Not long later, the light around Wei Qitian became much dimmer, causing his vision to become blurry.
"These strange looking bats can actually swallow light!" Wei Qitian's heart trembled, he was extremely surprised, he had never seen a living being that ate light.
Very quickly, darkness shrouded his entire body once more. Due to overdrawing the fire spirit imprint, it had already been extinguished, and was unable to emit any light.
Wei Qitian did not panic. Instead, he took a deep breath and the air in the cave suddenly rose up, transforming into sharp weapons that intersected in the air and killed everything.
"Destroy!"
Wei Qitian's gaze was cold and harsh. He clasped his hands together, and the sharp ripples in the air suddenly reached their peak, as if heavenly swords had slashed horizontally, as if they wanted to tear this entire space into two.
"Dong Dong Dong ?"
Muffled sounds entered Wei Qitian's ears one after another. This was the sound of bats dropping to the ground. In that instant just now, the group of bats had suffered heavy injuries.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wei Qitian immediately used a movement technique and flew towards a direction. In this darkness, even without his eyesight, his movement technique was still nimble, allowing him to rely on his hearing to freely travel through the cave.
Suddenly, a bright light filled the area ahead, and a bright path slowly opened up. It looked like a heavenly road, beautiful to the point of making one yearn for it.
"Could it be that the thing I'm looking for is right there?" Wei Qitian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran in that direction. Before he even got close, he could already feel a fatal heat attacking him, which actually made his protective spirit energy unable to withstand it.
"What's that?" He gritted his teeth and continued to sweat profusely. After stopping in his tracks, he saw a group of butterflies flying towards him at an extremely fast speed.
These butterflies were colourful, and their beauty far surpassed that of other butterflies. However, Wei Qitian knew that the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it would be.
As the butterfly approached, the fiery hot feeling became even more intense, and even the clothes on Wei Qitian's body seemed to be on fire. Fortunately, he had activated the frost spirit pattern in time, which prevented this scene from happening.
Wei Qitian took a probing step forward, and the moment his feet landed on the ground, something surged out from underground and sprinkled down, turning into bright powder in the air and pasted onto Wei Qitian's body.
Wei Qitian was shocked, but he immediately calmed down. After sensing it for a bit, he realized that although the powder was very fragrant, it was not poisonous and there was no danger involved.
Just as this thought was raised in his mind, the butterflies suddenly went berserk, like a pack of wild wolves that had smelled the smell of blood. They exuded a fatal heat, and without a care for anything else, surrounded him.
"Flowing Cloud Flower Rain!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Qitian decisively used his third sword and escaped through the gaps between the butterflies, avoiding the terrifying attack. The high temperature on the butterfly's body was something even he felt a little fear towards.
However, it was not the end, the butterflies were like possessed, they chased after Wei Qitian relentlessly, as though they had deep enmity with him, and wanted to burn it to ashes.
As Wei Qitian escaped, he dodged and dodged. He suddenly realized that the powder just now was probably a special kind of pollen, and the Flaming Butterfly s were aiming for the pollen on his body.
Even so, Wei Qitian could not allow the butterflies to touch his body, if not, even with his steel body, they would not be light.
"It's still endless!" The Flaming Butterfly's speed was extremely fast. In the darkness, Wei Qitian did not have the ability to shake them off;
Just as he finished speaking, qi of all things s surged out of the Divine Vault in a steady stream. They were mighty and concentrated on his fist.
With a boom, Wei Qitian punched towards the sky. Numerous terrifying shock waves rippled out like a ripple, the largest in the space, producing a huge destructive force.
Those butterflies were hit by the shockwave and instantly shattered into pieces, appearing extremely weak. Their brightly colored wings quickly withered like flowers, and then disappeared after they were beautiful.
However, what surprised Wei Qitian was that after the Flaming Butterfly wilted, it actually left behind a small ball of flame in the air. This flame was very different from normal flames, it gave off a dark red color, like fresh blood that made people's heart palpitate.
These flames seemed to hold an unerasable hatred for Wei Qitian as they densely gathered towards him, sealing off the space and making it impossible for him to even dodge.
"The situation doesn't seem good ?" Wei Qitian's expression changed slightly. He could feel a thick sense of danger from the blood-red flames.
At this time, his mind slightly sunk as he mobilized a huge amount of qi of all things. In one breath, he injected the qi of all things into the frost spirit pattern, causing it to emit a serene and deep cold aura.
"Sunset Snow Mountain!"
Wei Qitian's body trembled, and numerous huge ice pillars spread out with him as the center of the world. In the blink of an eye, this entire place had turned into a world of ice, covered in silver, and shrouded in dense, cold energy.
"There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Wei Qitian thought in his heart, but in the next moment, the sense of danger in his heart grew even stronger!
The crimson flames gathered together and turned into eight spikes, piercing towards the center from eight different directions.
The scorching heat rose like the setting sun, erupting into a terrifyingly high temperature. In an instant, those icicles began to burn before they could melt.
Before he could even react, eight sharp murderous auras pierced through the ice pillar and arrived in front of him at an unbelievable speed. In this speed, even he did not have the chance to dodge.
"Phew ?"
The moment the flames touched him, they would stick onto Wei Qitian's body like maggots attached to bones. In an instant, all of the clothes on his body turned into ashes, and the qi of all things s protecting his body evaporated at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, becoming extremely weak.
"Hiss ?" "Ahhh!"
