Qin Feng stared at the magic crystal ball that was hurtling towards him like a meteor, radiating a terrifying aura.
He began to form hand seals with astonishing speed, and mysterious and ancient runes flickered faintly in the air.
In the blink of an eye, an incomparably powerful force surged forth from the depths of the earth, as if a long-dormant beast had awakened.
This power was the Law of Earth, which quickly coalesced into a thick, solid yellow barrier, blocking Qin Feng's path.
However, the magic crystal ball, carrying a devastating force, slammed into the yellow barrier, and for a moment, a deafening roar and dazzling light erupted between the two.
The entire space trembled, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Despite the yellow barrier's best efforts to withstand the impact of the magic crystal ball, it finally succumbed to the pressure after a brief stalemate and shattered with a crash.
Countless fragments flew everywhere, scattering across the ground like raindrops.
But this brief moment of respite gave Qin Feng a precious opportunity.
Without hesitation, he used his movement technique, his figure flashing past like lightning and disappearing without a trace in an instant.
The next moment, when he reappeared, he was already behind the mysterious woman.
"Hmph! With your meager skills, you think you can hurt me?" Qin Feng said with a sneer, while stretching out a hand and pressing down on the woman's back without any mercy.
Sensing the deadly threat coming from behind, the woman's expression changed drastically, her fear evident.
She frantically flapped her enormous demonic wings, instantly unleashing a violent hurricane in an attempt to block Qin Feng's attack.
Qin Feng remained completely unmoved in the face of the howling wind.
He poured all his divine power into his palms, causing a faint golden glow to emanate from them.
His hand was getting closer and closer to the woman, almost touching her.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, the woman's body became blurry, and then it turned into wisps of pitch-black smoke, slowly dissipating into the air.
Qin Feng's eyes widened in astonishment, and he muttered involuntarily, "It's just a clone? How is that possible! Then, where is her true body hiding?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng closed his eyes tightly without hesitation, concentrating all his energy to perceive everything around him.
However, to his dismay, the powerful laws within this mysterious temple severely restricted his use of divine sense.
Therefore, Qin Feng could only rely on his mental power to search for it.
Just as Qin Feng was filled with anxiety and searching desperately, suddenly, his keen senses detected an extremely subtle fluctuation of magical power, which seemed to come from the deep underground beneath his feet.
His heart skipped a beat, and his gaze instantly sharpened, like two sharp lightning bolts piercing the darkness.
Immediately afterward, he adjusted his body without hesitation and used the Earth Escape Technique to dart downwards like an arrow.
Qin Feng's figure moved through the underground like a ghost.
As they went deeper, the surrounding air became increasingly cold and damp, and a pungent, putrid stench assaulted their nostrils, making them want to vomit.
However, Qin Feng was not deterred by the harsh environment; he continued to cautiously explore forward.
Finally, Qin Feng arrived at a basement, where a faint light came into view at the far end.
He looked closely and saw the mysterious woman standing quietly in the center of a huge and complex formation.
The formation flickered with an eerie light, and the flowing runes emitted a powerful magical pressure.
Around the mysterious woman were all sorts of sinister and terrifying magical artifacts.
These magical artifacts have peculiar shapes; some resemble grotesque skulls, while others look like twisted demonic limbs, all exuding an aura of evil and danger.
As Qin Feng's footsteps broke the silence, the mysterious woman slowly raised her head, her icy gaze fixed directly on him.
Her lips moved slightly, uttering a cold sentence: "You finally found me."
Qin Feng did not rush to make a move, but stared intently at the mysterious woman in front of him, his eyes revealing a strong sense of curiosity.
After a moment of silence, Qin Feng finally couldn't suppress his doubts and asked, "Why are you preventing us from going deeper into this Demon Realm?"
As he spoke, he kept a close eye on the mysterious woman's every move, trying to glean some useful information from the subtle changes in her expression.
Then, Qin Feng pressed on, "And who exactly are you? Can you tell me your true identity?"
"Could it be... that you are also a member of the ancient demon race?"
The mysterious woman frowned slightly, as if a thousand worries were swirling in her heart.
Her beautiful eyes, like deep pools, were staring intently at Qin Feng's handsome yet slightly puzzled face.
As time ticked by, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
After a long silence, the mysterious woman slowly spoke, "The Demon Suppression Tower is where many vicious demons are suppressed. Your rashly going there will surely release those demons!"
Her voice was crisp and cold, like a chilly wind in the cold night.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was taken aback, then asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you so sure we will release those demons?"
"Also, are those demons very strong?"
The mysterious woman merely glanced at him indifferently, then replied in a nonchalant tone, "Each of those demons possesses the terrifying strength of a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator, and they are all at the peak of their cultivation."
"If such a being were to regain his freedom, the consequences would be utterly unimaginable!"
At this point, the mysterious woman's expression grew increasingly grim.
Qin Feng blinked and said, "You still haven't answered me, why are you so certain that we will release those demons?"
As for those demons, they were all at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, so Qin Feng didn't take them seriously at all.
Now, he is also at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, and he can confidently say that he is invincible among those at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm.
Previously, he fought the mysterious woman for half a day, just to test his strength after breaking through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm!
Otherwise, he could have killed the mysterious woman with a single punch.
The mysterious woman stared at Qin Feng for a while before slowly speaking. "I know why you went to the Demon Suppression Tower."
"If you take away the fragment of the Primordial Chaos Realm map, it will weaken the sealing power of the Demon Suppression Tower!"
"At that time, once those demons realize it, they will take the opportunity to break through the seal of the Demon Suppression Tower!"
