And the moment Chu Feng appeared, the monsters would immediately launch attacks at his position.
Their enormous bodies and formidable power hammered against the hard rock walls, sending violent tremors through the entire area.
Throughout this, Chu Feng continued to strike back, but the monsters seemed indestructible — his Immortal Arts proved useless against them.
He couldn't escape, and he couldn't break through. Chu Feng had been backed into a corner.
"Damn it."
Under these circumstances, a flash of steely resolve appeared in Chu Feng's eyes.
The next moment, blood-red lightning rained down repeatedly, accompanied by peal after peal of thunder.
It was a Forbidden Immortal Art — the Forbidden Blood Lightning Technique.
The Forbidden Blood Lightning Technique was one of the most powerful skills Chu Feng currently possessed.
The instant this technique was unleashed, every monster in the surrounding area was obliterated, their very souls scattered to nothing.
Seeing that Chu Feng had actually resorted to such a method, the little girl on his back let a trace of surprise surface in her eyes.
Clearly, the arsenal of techniques at Chu Feng's disposal had far exceeded her expectations.
Now, with the surroundings finally falling silent, Chu Feng finally let out a deep sigh of relief. He had genuinely feared that these monsters would never stop coming. If that were the case, never mind getting the little girl out safely — even he himself would have been trapped here.
"ROAAAAR—"
But right at that moment, eerie roars echoed up from deep beneath the earth.
The sound was terrifying, like the wailing of ten thousand vengeful spirits, chilling one to the very soul.
"Not good."
In that instant, Chu Feng's expression changed drastically. He had not only heard that horrifying roar — he had also sensed an aura that he simply could not contend with.
BOOM—
Without warning, the ground shook violently. Amidst a storm of flying debris, countless colossal creatures surged up from the depths below.
These monsters, which shimmered with multicolored light, were more than ten times larger than the previous ones. More importantly, the aura they exuded was no longer that of Heavenly Immortals — it was that of Martial Immortals.
They were only first-grade Martial Immortals, but for Chu Feng, this was a realm he simply could not overcome.
WHOOSH—
Suddenly, one of the monsters moved. Its enormous body transformed into a massive whip, tearing through the air with a deafening shriek as it cracked down toward Chu Feng.
Everything happened too fast. Chu Feng had no time to react before the monster struck him squarely.
"Ugh—!"
After a wretched scream, Chu Feng was sent hurtling away like an arrow loosed from a bow. At the same time, the little girl on his back and the Immortal Armament in his hand were both blasted away.
However, before Chu Feng could fly very far, another monster intercepted him in midair. Like a giant python seizing its prey, it coiled its massive body around him, squeezing tight.
"AAARGH—!"
Under the monster's crushing grip, Chu Feng let out agonized, heart-rending screams.
Because the monster wasn't merely constricting him — it was annihilating his soul with a force of utter erasure.
That was right. The monster wasn't harming Chu Feng's physical body at all. It was attacking his soul directly.
At that moment, Chu Feng could only feel his soul being torn apart, piece by piece. The pain was so excruciating that even he could hardly endure it, and he let out scream after agonized scream.
Meanwhile, the little girl had also been ensnared by one of the monsters and was enduring the same assault. Unable to withstand the searing pain, she quickly lost consciousness and fell limp.
