Chapter 718: Chapter 706: The Strange Yang Xin

"Ancient World! Ancient Creatures! Who knows what else exists in this world!"

After slaying the Ancient Rat Monster, Shi Feng had paused in mid-air, gazing toward the distance.

"I wonder if there are any Secrets of Becoming a God here," Shi Feng murmured again.

In the Tianheng Continent, it had been countless years since a Divine Spirit had appeared. Gods only existed in ancient legends, and the Secret of Becoming a God was boundless and vague.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just then, the ground shook violently again, and following that, huge cracks continuously opened up on the vast land. Then, one by one, enormous heads of Ancient Rat Monsters burst out of the ground, followed by a dense throng of them!

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" The entire area was filled with their shrill, piercing cries, creating utter chaos.

"This... this... so many monsters!" Yue Shaochong exclaimed upon seeing a dense crowd of eerie rat monsters covering the vast land.

Rat-kind are naturally prolific, but he hadn’t expected there to be so many bred here—uncountable numbers!

"Let’s go!" Shi Feng shouted to Yue Shaochong. The number of these monsters was overwhelming. Dealing with them would cost too much time and energy!

However, just as Shi Feng’s shout ended, huge Black Rat Monsters from the ground soared towards him and Yue Shaochong, opening their mouths wide to reveal ferocious, ghastly rat faces.

"Burn!" Shi Feng bellowed, and crimson flames burst from his body, sweeping in all directions, igniting a vast Blood-colored Sea of Fire in mid-air.

Subsequently, the densely packed rat monsters that were flying towards them were quickly devoured by the crimson waves of fire, and their high-pitched, piercing screams echoed through.

Yue Shaochong was in a strange zone, surrounded by fiery flames, yet where he stood at the center, there was only emptiness without any flame touching him.

Looking at the vast sea of fire, swallowing rat monsters, and then looking at Shi Feng who had turned into a Blood-colored Fire Man, he couldn’t help but exclaim from deep within his heart, "How... how powerful!"

At that moment, while Yue Shaochong was still caught up in his exclamation, Shi Feng immediately reached out his hand, grabbed Yue Shaochong’s arm, and with them engulfed by the Blood-colored Sea of Fire, they swiftly flew forward.

As Shi Feng, carrying a large area of Blood-colored Blood Flame, passed, Black Rat Monsters still leapt up from the ground below. However, like moths to a flame, they plunged into the Blood-colored Sea of Fire, emitting shrill, piercing screams, then silenced.

These Ancient Black Rat Monsters were indeed too numerous, but fortunately, they were not of high level—only at the Fifth-stage Imperial Level!

After consuming most of the energy within his body, Shi Feng finally flew out from that land, retracted the surrounding Blood-colored Sea of Fire, and arrived above a green forest!

Just after reaching the forest’s airspace, Shi Feng sensed countless presences of living beings below in the forest, ancient energies transmitting towards him.

It seemed this world had survived the long ages, breeding countless ancient monster beasts that had become extinct in the outside world!

However, sensing the presences of those Ancient Monster Beasts now, there were no particularly powerful ones. The strongest Shi Feng could sense were only at the Seventh-stage Venerable Peak.

For him, these monsters were nothing significant, nor did they pose a serious threat to his life. However, he guessed that many of the Martial Artists who had previously entered the Bronze Palace were probably already in grave danger.

"Hmm?" Immediately afterward, Shi Feng’s Soul Power detected a familiar aura in the forest below, and at that moment, a figure shot out from the trees beneath him.

The person must have noticed Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong’s presence and he rapidly flew towards them from out of the woods.

"It’s him! Yang Xin from the Shaoyang Sword Sect, we’ve encountered this little beast again!" Yue Shaochong immediately pointed downward and said to Shi Feng.

Now, having witnessed Shi Feng’s strength, Yue Shaochong felt no fear towards that genius from the Shaoyang Sword Sect, a Martial Venerable Realm’s unparalleled expert.

"Let’s see what he wants to do," Shi Feng said calmly.

"His hands, and his neck!" At this moment, Yue Shaochong noticed a change on Yang Xin’s neck. Previously, aside from his arms, Yang Xin was covered in black hair, but now, the black hair had spread to his neck.

"It seems like it’s retribution," Yue Shaochong said gleefully in his heart.

Recalling how Yang Xin had previously acted arrogantly, forcing him to hide in holes, if it weren’t for Shi Feng’s reminder, he himself might have already been dead.

"It seems he won’t last long before he turns into one of those mindless Long-haired Monsters," Shi Feng murmured, observing Yang Xin.

Seeing him like this reminded Shi Feng of Chu Yue in the Death Forbidden Land, who was devoid of reason, just like a monster.

"You two!" Soon, Yang Xin arrived in front of Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong, still with an arrogant air. Looking at them, he then commanded in an authoritative and undeniable tone, "Both of you, come with me!"

"Let’s go," Shi Feng said faintly to Yue Shaochong.

Yue Shaochong nodded slightly. Following Yang Xin’s lead, Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong descended into the forest below and quickly passed through the dense woods to land within the jungle.

Shi Feng was sensing the surroundings, detecting only the presence of an Ancient Monster Beast of Seventh-stage Venerable Peak level in this area. It seemed this was the demon beast’s territory, and other demon beasts dared not approach.

"Follow me. Keep it down! Don’t blame me if you make too much noise," Yang Xin coldly spoke, threatening Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong!

"Lead the way. We understand," Shi Feng responded calmly to Yang Xin.

"Good that you understand," Yang Xin said coldly again. He then led Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong, using a movement technique to advance quietly towards the jungle ahead.

Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong also immediately employed their movement techniques to follow quietly. Shi Feng noticed that Yang Xin was leading them in the direction he had sensed where the Seventh-stage Venerable Peak demon beast resided.

The trio didn’t walk for long before they encountered a dense patch of green bushes as tall as a person, blocking their way, and just then, the leading Yang Xin suddenly stopped in his tracks. He then extended his hand, preventing Shi Feng and Yue Shaochong from proceeding any further.

Then, like a thief, Yang Xin cautiously parted the green bushes in front of them...
