The aftershocks caused by the scale-reversing blade splitting time and space were like an invisible storm, raging on the river beach and failing to dissipate for a long time. The air was filled with a sickening sweet smell, like a mixture of rotten meat and blood, drilling straight into the nose, making people want to retch. The land under Lin Feng's feet seemed to be eroded by some evil force and suddenly became soft, just like stepping into a pile of rotten corpses. With every step he took, black mucus oozed from the soles of his feet, pulling out long, sticky threads on the soles of his shoes, making a creepy "sizzling" sound.
He was alert and raised his head slowly, only to see the vortex of the Chaos Sea expanding at an alarming speed. The blood moon that was originally hanging high in the sky was also dyed blue-gray by this strange power. The color was like the shadow of death, weighing heavily on people's hearts. Around the vortex, countless pale eyeballs floated in the air. They were like puppets pulled by invisible silk threads, turning slowly and mechanically with the rhythm of the vortex. The gaze of each eyeball seemed to carry cold malice, which made Lin Feng's back cold.
"Be careful!" A quick and frightened shout suddenly came from behind Lin Feng. He had been hovering on the edge of life and death for many years, and his instinctive reaction was far superior to that of ordinary people. He rolled sideways in an instant. At this critical moment, a black shadow whizzed past his shoulder like an arrow from a bow, and with a "bang", it hit the already dilapidated broken wall not far away.
Lin Feng looked closely and saw that it was a humanoid creature with an extremely distorted body. Its face was smooth as an egg, without any trace of facial features, as if it had been deliberately erased. Just as he was shocked, the neck of the monster suddenly split open without any warning, revealing a jagged mouthparts, just like the bloody mouth of hell. Then, a suffocating stench came over him, and the monster's internal organs grew out like crazy vines, instantly entangled a refugee who was trying to escape in a panic.
The refugee didn't even have time to scream before the shrill sound stopped. Lin Feng watched helplessly as the refugee's body was instantly shredded by the monster's internal organs, leaving only pieces of flesh on the ground and half of an arm that was still twitching unconsciously. The scene was bloody and cruel.
"The Blind!" Xuanying, the leader of the remnant of Kunlun Ruins, had come to Lin Feng's side without knowing when. His face was as pale as paper, without any blood. The ice crystal weapon in his hand was also trembling slightly, showing his extreme fear. "They are predators at the bottom of the Chaos Sea, and they use sound waves to lock their prey." Before Xuanying finished speaking, something unexpected happened.
Three more eyeless beings emerged from the slime under their feet like evil spirits crawling out of hell. Their skin, like fragile rice paper after being dampened, was peeling off piece by piece, revealing the purple muscles squirming underneath. The muscles were still dripping with slime, emitting bursts of foul odor. One of the eyeless beings suddenly let out a high-frequency scream, the sound was sharp and piercing, as if countless steel needles were piercing Lin Feng's eardrums.
Lin Feng felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, as if they would burst at any moment. At the same time, the scene before his eyes began to distort and deform, as if the whole world was being kneaded by an invisible hand. Deep in his consciousness, there seemed to be countless invisible hands tearing at him crazily, causing him to have a splitting headache and almost lose his balance.
"Use your spiritual power to protect the spiritual platform!" Seeing this, Xuan Ying hurriedly threw out an ice wall, temporarily blocking the attack of the Blind Man. He turned his head to look at Lin Feng, with a complex and incomprehensible look in his eyes. He was both afraid of Lin Feng and helpless to cooperate under the current situation. "The Reverse Scale Blade can cut off their throat bones, which is their only weakness. But." His voice was still floating in the air when it was interrupted by a crazy laugh.
Lin Feng looked up and saw the fox demon looming in the vortex. At this moment, the fox demon was surrounded by the faint light emitted by the Nine Infants' residual soul. The faint light flickered and exuded a strange aura. Behind it, followed a group of refugees with empty eyes and numb expressions. They were like puppets being controlled, mechanically following the fox demon.
"Welcome to the feast of chaos!" The fox demon's voice was extremely strange, as if it came from countless throats at the same time, echoing in this space, making people shudder. "I am the Holy Envoy of the Nine Infants, and I will guide you to become the nutrients of great existence!" After saying that, the fox demon raised his hand and waved, and the refugees seemed to have received some mysterious instructions, and they rushed towards the Blind Man without hesitation like puppets.
What was shocking was that those extremely ferocious and blind people did not attack the refugees. Instead, they opened their terrifying mouths and swallowed the living people whole. Every time they swallowed a person, the light on the fox demon's body became stronger. As the light grew stronger, its body gradually became more solid, and vaguely a solid torso was formed.
Seeing this, Lin Feng was furious and tightly grasped the Ni Lin Blade. The dragon shadow on the blade seemed to have sensed the anger of its master and roared angrily, with endless majesty and unwillingness in the roar. In the fierce battle and chaotic situation, Lin Feng keenly noticed the transparent crystal protruding from the neck of the Eyeless Man. He observed carefully and found that it actually contained the echo of human screams. Whenever the monster launched an attack, the crystal would emit a faint blue light, which was like a ghost fire, revealing a strange atmosphere.
"I'll lead them away, and you guys take the opportunity to destroy the larynx!" Lin Feng shouted to the Kunlun Ruins monks. He knew that the situation was critical and there was no room for hesitation. As soon as he said this, he turned into a black shadow, like a cannonball, and rushed into the monster group without hesitation.
The reverse scale blade slashed through the air, making a clear roar like a dragon's roar. The sound resounded through the sky, as if to dispel the endless darkness. Relying on the sharp intuition accumulated from years of fighting, Lin Feng flexibly shuttled among the group of eyeless people and cleverly avoided their sonic attacks. Every time he moved, he accurately calculated the timing and position, and the blade in his hand slashed at the throat of the eyeless people without hesitation.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
However, every time the blade hit the crystal, a transparent protective shield would appear on the crystal, like an indestructible barrier, steadily deflecting the attack. Lin Feng was anxious, he could clearly feel that as time went by, the power of the Chaos Sea was increasing. The mucus on the ground seemed to have life, and began to climb upwards, trying to drag everyone into the endless abyss.
Although the Kunlun Ruins monks led by Xuanying had many concerns about Lin Feng, they knew that they had no way out when facing the Eyeless Ones who were surging like a tide, and had to temporarily put aside their hostility towards Lin Feng. They quickly formed a sword formation, and for a moment, ice spikes and talismans intertwined into a net, flashing light on the battlefield, temporarily restraining the attacks of some of the Eyeless Ones.
But the number of the Eyeless was too great, and they kept crawling out of the vortex of the Chaos Sea, as if they could never be killed. The entire ruins of Bianjing were completely covered with black slime in a short period of time, and the air was filled with a suffocating stench that made it almost impossible to breathe.
"We can't go on like this!" Xuan Ying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth while trying to resist the attack of the Blind Man. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. In this chaotic situation, he started to make his own plans. "Lin Feng, you go and destroy the core of the vortex, and we will stay here to cover you!" He said this, but secretly winked at his disciples.
The formation of the sword array changed quietly. The sword array that seemed to resist the monsters had quietly blocked Lin Feng's retreat. On the surface, they were fighting against the Blind Man together with Lin Feng, but in fact, they were ready to attack Lin Feng at the critical moment, trying to seize the Ni Lin Blade and control the power of the Chaos Sea.
Lin Feng was so perceptive that he naturally sensed the conspiracy of Kunlun Ruins. But the situation on the battlefield was extremely critical at the moment, and he had no time to care about these things. He took a deep breath, endured the fatigue and pain in his body, and mobilized the remaining dragon power in his body. In an instant, the scale-reversing blade burst out with a dazzling green light, and the light was like the dawn, illuminating the dark battlefield.
"Break!" With a deafening roar, Lin Feng leaped up, and the whole person rushed towards the whirlpool of the Chaos Sea with an indomitable momentum like an arrow from a bow. The blade in his hand, wrapped in the force of thunder and lightning, fiercely chopped towards the whirlpool.
This attack was incredibly powerful. The space was shaking violently, as if it could not bear this powerful force, and it made a "crackling" sound. Countless pale eyeballs, under the impact of this force, exploded one after another, turning into white mist. Seeing this, the fox demon screamed unwillingly, and its newly condensed body began to disintegrate under the impact of this powerful force, and its body gradually became illusory.
However, just when Lin Feng thought the situation was about to turn around, something unexpected happened again. A huge eyeless creature, like an ancient beast awakened from the depths of chaos, suddenly rushed out from the depths of the vortex. Its body was several times larger than other eyeless creatures, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Its throat core was also much larger than other monsters. The screams sealed in the crystal almost materialized, forming a series of sound wave blades, whizzing through the air, and wherever it went, the space was cut into cracks.
Lin Feng's dragon power had been consumed greatly in the previous battle. Facing the attack of this giant eyeless creature, he was unable to resist for a while. He felt like a fallen leaf in the wind, which could be destroyed at any time. Just when he was in despair, a familiar figure, like a meteor, suddenly blocked his way.
Lin Feng looked closely and found that it was the remnant soul of Lin Wanqiu. Her red dress was still bright and dazzling, like a burning flame, and her dragon horns were flashing a faint light. Although the light was weak, it revealed an unyielding power.
"Go!" The remnant soul's voice was ethereal and firm, as if it came from the distant sky. She waved her hand and summoned a golden dragon shield, which emitted a sacred light and steadily resisted the monster's attack.
Lin Feng looked at the remnant soul in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He gritted his teeth, knowing that this was not the time to be sentimental. He no longer hesitated, turned around and rushed towards the core of the vortex with all his strength.
Behind him, Lin Wanqiu's residual soul gradually became illusory under the attack of the Eyeless One, and finally dissipated in the chaos. At this time, the monks of Kunlun Ruins suddenly changed their formation, turning the sword formation into a cage, trying to capture Lin Feng and the Ni Lin Blade. Their eyes were full of greed, as if they saw that endless power was about to be obtained.
At the edge of the Chaos Sea, the situation became increasingly critical. The ground began to crack, and huge cracks continued to expand like the mouth of a ferocious beast. Countless tentacles stretched out from the cracks. Those tentacles were thick and covered with mucus, waving in the air, as if they wanted to drag everything into the abyss. The entire ruins of Bianjing were collapsing towards the center of the vortex, making a "booming" sound, as if the end of the world was approaching.
The remaining soul of the fox demon gathered again in the chaos. Its eyes flashed with crazy light, and it shouted to the refugees: "Sacrifice! Sacrifice! The great Nine Infants will soon wake up!" Under its instigation, more refugees who had lost their minds rushed to the battlefield like moths to a flame, providing a steady stream of flesh and blood for the Eyeless One. With each person devoured, the Eyeless One's power increased, and the entire situation became more uncontrollable.
After going through many hardships and dangers, Lin Feng finally arrived at the core of the vortex. The scene here was even more bizarre and terrifying than he had imagined. A huge column made of transparent crystals pierced the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth. Inside the column, the wails of countless wronged souls were sealed. Those sounds intertwined together, forming a powerful resentment that impacted Lin Feng's consciousness.
He suppressed his fear and pain, raised the Ni Lin Blade, and prepared to launch the final attack. Just as he was about to swing the knife, he suddenly heard Xuan Ying's cold voice behind him: "Leave the knife behind, you can go." Lin Feng turned his head and saw that all the magic weapons of the Kunlun Ruins monks were aimed at him. The sword formation exuded a powerful force, enough to strangle him instantly.
"Do you think you can control the power of the Chaos Sea like this?" Lin Feng sneered, the anger in his heart burning like a raging fire. The dragon power in his body boiled again, and the power surged in his body, giving him endless courage. "Look behind you!" He shouted loudly.
Everyone turned back subconsciously, only to see countless blind people breaking through the defense line, rushing towards them like a surging tide. The fox demon was standing on the top of the whirlpool, watching this farce and laughing wildly, as if laughing at everyone's stupidity and greed.
