Chapter 2247 - 2232: Death Thought Absolute Killing

Walking through this dark cave, Shi Feng felt that everything had already quieted down.

Even his own heart had calmed down, the sense of unease and danger had completely vanished from within.

The martial intuition arising in his heart told him that this was a safe place.

And this made him even more puzzled, why did that black shadow bring him here?

What is its purpose?

What exactly is here?

"Plop! Plop! Plop!" As Shi Feng walked step by step, the gentle footsteps echoed throughout the seemingly endless cavern.

Although he didn't feel any danger, Shi Feng still refrained from acting rashly or moving quickly through the cave.

Currently there's no danger, but who knows what might happen next.

Even though his martial intuition told him this was a safe place, Shi Feng did not dare to be careless at all.

As Shi Feng continued to advance, going deeper, suddenly—"You... have come!"

In that moment, Shi Feng suddenly heard an indescribably old, hoarse voice coming from ahead.

This voice seemed to originate from an ancient era, crossing numerous centuries, and it sounded weak.

Upon hearing that voice, Shi Feng's expression changed instantly, and he said, "Who is it?"

"You... come over!" The ancient hoarse voice echoed again.

At that moment, Shi Feng quickened his pace.

He had a feeling that the existence which had made the sound didn't seem to harbor any malice.

"Is it him who brought me here?"

"Why did he bring me here?"

"Ultimately, for what purpose?"

...

He continuously pondered in his mind.

Not long after, he suddenly saw in front of him, a shadowy black silhouette floating in mid-air!

It was the black shadow that had previously appeared in the Yin Forest, it was the one that brought him here.

At this moment, Shi Feng immediately discovered that within the shadowy black silhouette, there seemed to be a figure, the form resembling... a human body!

"Was it you who brought me here?" Shi Feng asked the silhouette within the shadow.

"That's right!" The ancient hoarse voice echoed again, answering Shi Feng.

"Why did you bring me here?" Shi Feng asked.

"Because... I want you... to obtain the treasure in the depths of the Yin Forest!"

Upon hearing those words, Shi Feng's eyebrows raised, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "You want me to obtain the treasure in the depths of the Yin Forest? Why do you want to help me get it? Why don't you get it yourself?"

"Because I am already dead... that treasure is of no use to me." The ancient hoarse voice answered again.

"Already dead?" Upon hearing those four words, Shi Feng was startled again! Then he asked, "Are you just a wisp of soul?"

As Emperor Nine Nether, he was extremely familiar with and understood souls, but as he looked at the figure within the black shadow, he couldn't sense any soul presence at all.

"I... am not even considered a soul, I... am merely a wisp of obsession that refused to dissipate back then."

"Obsession? I see!" Shi Feng was somewhat relieved.

Obsession, it's very mysterious!

Like a soul, yet not a soul.

"Your obsession is about the treasure in the depths of the Yin Forest?" Shi Feng asked him again.

Since he mentioned he was an obsession and he wanted to assist Shi Feng in obtaining the treasure, there was no need for an answer, Shi Feng knew that must be the case.

"Naturally!" The ancient voice replied.

"In the Yin Forest earlier, there were four beings whose realms surpassed mine, why did you choose me?" Shi Feng asked again.

"Because we are the Human Clan!" he answered again.

Indeed, he truly was from the Human Clan!

Shi Feng had used the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique which even Hee Jiang from the True God Seventh Heaven Realm couldn't see through, yet he could see through it.

Even though he was merely a wisp of obsession, he could see through the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique that Hee Jiang couldn't, what kind of powerful being was he in life?

"So that's how it is!" Shi Feng silently nodded to the figure within the black shadow.

As he stated he was from the Human Clan, much of Shi Feng's suspicion towards him was allayed.

"The treasure in the depths of the Yin Forest, what kind of treasure is it? Why are you so obsessed with it?" Shi Feng asked him again.

"I, too, want to know, what kind of treasure is it!" At this moment, it was very apparent that the ancient hoarse voice was filled with utter unwillingness.

Then, the ancient hoarse voice spoke again: "The eight of us were powerful beings that dominated all directions of the East Yue Divine Continent! We stormed into the Yin Forest, seeking the treasure that lies in its depths.

At that time, with the strength of the eight of us, the small Yin Forest posed no threat. But... we didn't expect... all eight of us to meet our bitter demise here!"

"Sigh!"

By the time he finished speaking, the ancient hoarse voice let out a deep sigh, and from that sigh, Shi Feng increasingly sensed his unwilling emotions.

"What realm were you all in?" Shi Feng asked again, as this was very crucial information for him at the moment.

In the past, the presence of these eight was a dominant force in the East Yue Divine Continent, so they must have been very powerful!

"All eight of us were in the True God Eighth Heaven!"

"You all were in the True God Eighth Heaven!" Even though he knew this figure was very strong, upon hearing this answer, Shi Feng's expression changed dramatically, exclaiming in utter shock.

Eight powerful beings at the True God Eighth Heaven, joined forces to explore this Yin Forest, and all perished within it.

This Yin Forest, just how terrifying and perilous must it be?

This Yin Forest, its perilous nature has clearly surpassed his imagination.

"That's right, True God Eighth Heaven! Ha ha." The ancient hoarse voice let out a laugh, in which seemed to carry a hint of self-mockery: "No matter how strong or glorious you were in life, once dead, you are nothing."

Upon learning that all eight True God Eighth Heaven beings had perished in that Yin Forest, at this moment, an intention to retreat emerged within Shi Feng's heart.

If such potent beings had to face bitterness, on what grounds could he succeed!

"Back then, even eight of you fell in the Yin Forest, how can you help me obtain the treasure in its depths?" Shi Feng asked again.

This, indeed, was a significantly critical question.

"It can be done!" Unexpectedly, the ancient hoarse voice responded this way.

"Let's hear it." Shi Feng said.

"Back then, among the eight of us who met a bitter end, only I remained, lingering in this Yin Forest unwillingly.

Using this wisp of obsession, I created this space within the Yin Forest with it. With this wisp of obsession, I gathered into this forest our corpses, all eight of us.

Through this wisp of obsession, enduring endless eons, using our eight bodies, our blood, flesh, and bones, using all our battle weapon secret treasures, enduring endless eons, I refined this item, the Death Thought Absolute Killing!"
