However, they didn’t know that shortly after they left, in the depths of the fissure’s darkness, two faint red lights slowly lit up, like lurking venomous snakes, silently watching their departing figures. Then, a low, hoarse voice, as if coming from the depths of hell, echoed in the vast chasm:

"The breath of chaos... and... the remnants of the Dragon Soul... interesting... truly... interesting..."

A force colder and eerier than the aura previously emanating from the giant tower began to spread silently like an invisible shadow. The true hunter seemed to have just awakened.

The enormous fissure resembled a hideous scar on the earth, bottomless, with jagged rocks and twisted, broken metal structures on both sides, emitting an energy more potent yet even more chaotic than that of the surface ruins.

The three carefully advanced along the edge of the fissure, each step taken with utmost caution, fearing to disturb the unknown danger lurking in the depths of darkness.

Luo Qingchen led at the front, the Black Dragon Sword in hand, his Divine Sense like invisible tendrils, vigilantly probing the surroundings. Although they had temporarily escaped the pursuit of the Mechanical Bodies, the feeling of unease in his heart had not diminished at all.

The two faint red lights that lit up earlier in the depths of the fissure, along with that low, hoarse, malicious voice, clung to him like a maggot in his bones, refusing to be shaken off.

That thing... seemed to be right within the fissure, secretly watching them.

He could sense a faint, cold aura, like a venomous snake swimming in the darkness, but he could never accurately capture its location.

Lin Wan’er followed closely behind, holding Bai Ling’er in her arms, her Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power forming a gentle protective shield, trying to isolate the young girl from the surrounding chaotic energy as much as possible. But the energy here was too chaotic and mixed, with a chilling trait that incessantly eroded her shield, significantly speeding up her spiritual power consumption. She could feel the little girl in her arms grow more restless, a slight frown forming as if sensing the malice of the outside world even in her sleep.

"I say... Senior Brother Luo, isn’t this place creeping you out?" Su Xiaowan brought up the rear, hunched and muttering in a low voice, her eyes continually darting to the dark corners on either side, "Feels like there’s something hiding in those black areas, it’s chilly... scarier than those iron lumps earlier." As she spoke, she instinctively clutched the palm-sized "Turtle Shell" hanging around her neck, as if it could provide her with some sense of security.

Luo Qingchen did not turn back but merely said in a low voice, "Stay alert, keep close to me."

The interior of the fissure was not entirely silent. Apart from the "woo woo" sound of energy turbulence, there was the occasional "crack" of falling rocks and faint "rustle" sounds like something crawling, echoing in the vast chasm, adding to the eeriness.

After walking a bit further, they reached a relatively open area. The bottom of the fissure seemed to be piled with a large number of metal remnants and stones, forming a small platform. However, just as they stepped onto this platform, a sudden change occurred!

The surrounding darkness seemed to come alive! Countless pitch-black shadows, as if formed from ink, emerged silently from crevices in the rock walls and the shadows of metal debris! These shadows lacked fixed shapes, at times becoming twisted human forms, at times turning into ferocious beast shapes; they moved soundlessly yet emitted extreme cold and malice, surging towards the three like a tide!

"Be careful!" Luo Qingchen shouted, the Black Dragon Sword bursting out with a murky chaotic glow, sweeping horizontally with one strike!

Hiss hiss! As the chaotic Sword Light swept over, several of the shadows at the forefront melted away like snow touched by sunlight, emitting piercing screeches. But more shadows continued to rush forward fearlessly; they seemed to be non-corporeal, their physical attacks greatly diminished in effect, while the cold energy could penetrate protective spiritual power, eroding the Divine Soul!

"Are they... ghosts?!" Su Xiaowan was so scared her face turned white, screaming as she flailed her arms, and threw out several Fireball Talismans and Thunderstrike Talismans.

Boom! Boom! Flames and arcs of electricity exploded among the shadows, indeed damaging them to some extent, making them thin and dim, but the effect was far less than Luo Qingchen’s chaotic power. Moreover, the shadows seemed endless, continuously spawning from the darkness.

"They’re not ghosts; they’re some sort of energy constructs, imbued with strong negative spiritual energy!" Lin Wan’er frowned deeply, instantly channeling her Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power, "Heavenly Essence·Purification!"

A pure, emerald-green halo spread out from her center! Wherever the halo passed, the shadows that came close whimpered miserably and dissipated! The Purification Power had a significant restraining effect on these negative energy entities!

However, Lin Wan’er’s complexion grew paler. The spiritual power consumed in purifying these shadows was far greater than she expected, and she also had to divert attention to protect Bai Ling’er. The little girl in her arms trembled slightly, the leaf of the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass at her brow flickering rapidly, seemingly under direct attack from that cold energy!

"Wan’er, focus on protecting Ling’er!" Seeing this, Luo Qingchen immediately adjusted his strategy. He no longer sought wide-ranging attacks, instead highly concentrating the chaotic power at his sword’s tip, "Chaos·Erode!"

He maneuvered like a specter among the shadows, the Black Dragon Sword piercing each shadow’s core with precision. The gray chaotic erosive power, like bone-devouring maggots, spread rapidly, dismantling the energy structure of the shadows from within, much more efficiently than simple slashing!

But just then, the surrounding environment suddenly changed! The previously clear vision began to distort and blur, the scene before their eyes becoming like a painting diffusing in water.

Luo Qingchen seemed to see the densely packed Starlight Guards within the Star Dome Illusion Realm, hearing the howls of the destructive light pillars.

Lin Wan’er saw a vision of Bai Ling’er barely breathing, the leaves of the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass completely withered.

And Su Xiaowan felt herself falling once more into that dark cavern, countless slimy beetles crawling all over her body...

"Illusions! It’s a spiritual attack! Guard your mind!" Luo Qingchen bit the tip of his tongue sharply, the intense pain snapping him awake, chaotic currents in his Sea of Consciousness churning, grinding the invading negative spiritual energy away.

It was that hidden figure in the dark who had acted! It could not only control these energy shadows but also launch attacks on a spiritual level!

Lin Wan’er also quickly reacted, circulating her Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power to guard her mind, simultaneously increasing her protection of Bai Ling’er, enveloping the little girl completely in emerald green light.

Su Xiaowan, however, lacked such steadfastness; she screamed in panic, blindly flailing her arms, "Bugs! So many bugs! Stay away! Go away!"

"Xiaowan! Wake up!" Luo Qingchen shouted urgently.

At the moment when Su Xiaowan’s focus slipped and her defense showed a flaw, a very solid pitch-black tentacle shot out like a venomous snake from the shadow under her feet, coiling towards the "Turtle Shell" she was holding!

The target of this thing was actually that unremarkable piece of metal!

"Ah!" Su Xiaowan was jolted awake by the cold touch, looking down and almost losing her soul as she instinctively clutched the Turtle Shell tightly.

Buzz! Just as the pitch-black tentacle was about to clasp the Turtle Shell, the "Turtle Shell" in Su Xiaowan’s arms suddenly lit up without any warning! A thick, earth-brown halo, as stable as the earth, burst out vigorously!

Hiss——! The pitch-black tentacle struck the earth-brown halo, producing a piercing sound like a branding iron meeting ice, the tentacle’s front rapidly melted away, emitting black smoke! The entity hidden in the dark seemed to have suffered a minor setback, emitting a soundless scream of anger, its spiritual fluctuation retreating like the tide.

The surrounding illusions vanished instantly, and the shadows besieging them seemed to lose command, becoming slow and disorganized.
