Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 503 Ominous Attack
At this moment, Lin Fan's foundation is solid, and as long as he is willing, he can step into a higher level of attainment.

"Um?!"

But at that moment, he frowned and stopped cultivating, as if he had sensed something.

With a splash, he suddenly rose from the bottom of the pool and came to the outside world, his body rapidly enlarging to normal size.

"Oh no, has she encountered something strange?"

Lin Fan glanced around and saw that Qingyi was nowhere to be seen; only a black crack that was about to close remained in the spot.

"Shh!"

Without hesitation, he took a step forward and rushed in, stepping into that mysterious crevice, wanting to bring the person back.

This is an ancient road, shrouded in a gray haze, silent and desolate, vast and boundless, stretching into who knows where.

All around was pitch black, without a single ray of light, as if taking another step would plunge one into eternal darkness.

Those pitch-black places are even more impossible to explore or gaze upon; one's divine sense is suppressed, making one uneasy and filled with trepidation.

Faintly, Lin Fan also heard the roar of beasts, which made even the sect leader feel terrified, but he still pressed on.

Generally speaking, cultivators would avoid misfortune as much as possible, because since ancient times, those who have fallen into it have all disappeared.

This is a very sinister thing. It's like a man-eating abyss. Once you take that step, you never come back!

Therefore, very few people have ever cultivated immortal energy; most of them perish at this stage.

"Where have I gone...something bad happened...will I ever see him again?" Qingyi murmured as if in a dream.

After being sucked in, she became completely lost and unable to leave. She walked alone on the dimly lit ancient road, not knowing where she was going.

To her shock, even with her third eye, she could only see a blurry scene, with darkness enveloping everything.

Occasionally, one can see one broken star after another, vast and immeasurable, suspended in the deathly void.

"A great battle took place here!" Qingyi exclaimed in shock, her face paling.

On one occasion, she even saw four pairs of bright red eyes gleaming in the darkness, like large hanging lanterns, which were terrifying!

However, upon closer inspection, it transformed into a wisp of black mist.

"Can I... find a way out?" Qingyi lacked confidence and walked aimlessly on this road with no end in sight.

She didn't know how much time had passed until a stone wall blocked her way, at which point she stopped and prepared to change direction.

"Buzz!"

As a result, there was a tremor, and when she turned around, the road had disappeared, and stone walls appeared all around her, pressing in on her.

Soon, amidst a rumbling roar, the place transformed into a sealed stone chamber, isolated from the outside world, its interior filled with chaotic turmoil.

"Oh no, we're trapped in a dead end, there's no way out now!" Qingyi's expression changed as she walked down a dead end, sealed off from this place.

"boom!"

The next moment, she activated her magic, the runes shimmering, and unleashed a powerful strike, but it was all swallowed up by the stone chamber, having no effect whatsoever.

Upon closer inspection, each wall resembles a vast, boundless sky, capable of encompassing the universe.

"Sink into darkness, and be granted eternal life!"

At this moment, eight ancient characters appeared on the stone wall, and Qingyi was stunned, her mind immediately drawn to them.

Who in the world doesn't want to live forever? Yet this place claims to grant immortality. It's truly astonishing!

Qingyi's gaze was deep, but she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't want this kind of immortality, and I still want to see him. How can I be trapped here?"

"This place can also replenish your primordial spirit, don't you want to?" A voice spoke from the void, devoid of any emotion.

"There's a method to restore one's primordial spirit here?!" Qingyi exclaimed in surprise. "After undergoing the baptism of darkness, everything will be fine..."

The voice came again, and although it was cold, strangely enough, Qingyi was actually moved.

Becoming an immortal is tempting, but it's not the most important thing to her; it's far more appealing than what comes next.

This is like her inner demon, which has troubled her for many years. With the solution so close at hand, how could she not be tempted?
"To complete my primordial spirit... I want to break free from these shackles... to become an independent person..."

At this moment, Qingyi began to mutter to herself, her eyes vacant and devoid of any spirit, standing there like a wooden statue.

She only woke up suddenly when she felt excruciating pain, as if her body was about to split open, and asked in confusion, "What happened to me?"

At first glance, black mist was emanating from the walls on all sides, which was very eerie and made her feel cold all over and tremble slightly.

"Oh no, this is really happening!" Qingyi was shocked. Her primordial spirit was absorbing her own essence and was trying to break free from the black mist.

This situation is out of control; everything happened too suddenly.

Moreover, she had a feeling that once her primordial spirit left her body, it would be drawn into the black mist and plunged into an abyss of no return.

"I can't leave, otherwise I'll really die and never be able to return to the human world!"

Qingyi immediately sat down cross-legged and used all her strength to circulate the bone script to suppress herself and resist the terrifying suction force.

However, this was incredibly difficult. Her primordial spirit was consuming all kinds of essences, and her brow was about to split open, bleeding.

This bizarre situation was truly unstoppable; her physical body seemed to be abandoned, and her primordial spirit fell into darkness, leaving this realm!
“There must be a way to fight it off. He has encountered misfortune before… That’s right, it’s immortal energy!” Qingyi suddenly thought.

In an instant, two streams of pure white immortal energy rose from her body, coiling around her to resist that inexplicable power.

"It really worked!" Qingyi was overjoyed. She forcibly closed the crack between her eyebrows, stabilizing her primordial spirit and preventing it from leaving.

In addition, the Thunder Pool given to her by Lin Fan also played a role, having a suppressive effect between her eyebrows and stabilizing her soul.

Even so, after everything calmed down, she was still drenched in a cold sweat; she had almost been in danger.

"We absolutely cannot stay here; what just happened was truly bizarre." Qingyi felt a chill run through her body, a lingering fear washing over her.

"Boom!"

Then, she used two streams of immortal energy and unleashed a supreme technique to bombard the wall she had come from with all her might.

With a single strike, divine power surged, and light filled the secret chamber, causing the stone walls to tremble violently as if they were about to collapse.

"Crack!"

The next moment, the wall cracked open, and figures fell out one after another, all sitting cross-legged in the secret room, which was very abrupt.

Upon seeing this, Qingyi's eyes widened. The stone chamber had not only instantly grown ten times larger, but also contained more than a dozen new creatures.

Among them were both men and women, ranging from the very old and the powerful and domineering middle-aged to the most beautiful young girls...

However, upon closer inspection, Qingyi noticed that these people were all sitting cross-legged, motionless, with deep, unfathomable eyes, as if they had endured countless years.

Surprisingly, each one possessed a vibrant life force, with radiant, lifelike skin, as if they were in seclusion.

"Something's wrong. They've all lost their primordial spirits; only their bodies remain!" Qingyi's expression changed drastically. These people were all dead.

However, their physical bodies do not decay and still retain vitality. If they had an additional primordial spirit, they could stand up and display terrifying divine power.

"Could it be that their souls have been taken away and they have fallen into darkness to live forever?" Qingyi opened her Heavenly Eye to take a closer look.

Sure enough, there was a cut on the front and back of each of these people's heads, without any blood, from which their primordial spirits broke free.

Without a doubt, this was the same thing she had just experienced, except that she had suppressed it, and her primordial spirit did not immediately leave her body.

"Will my final fate be the same as theirs?" Qingyi felt a sense of despair; this was not the solution she wanted.
