Upon seeing this, Qing Jie, who had been silently observing the situation, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He stared at the bead and said softly, "This is actually the legendary Warm Yang Bead?"
"I never imagined you possessed such a precious treasure."
His words revealed his envy of Ling Xueyan.
However, at that moment, the golden skull slowly shook its head. "What a pity. Although this Warm Sun Pearl can temporarily resist the invasion of this cold, it is only a temporary measure."
"If we want to truly escape this death zone, we must find its core and destroy it completely!"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Since that's the case, then let's stop talking nonsense!"
“Your understanding of this realm of death far surpasses ours, so you shall lead the way!”
As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Ling Xueyan and Qing Jie, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement almost simultaneously.
Indeed, the golden skull's familiarity with the realm of death far exceeded their expectations.
More importantly, he was merely a lifeless skeleton, inherently inanimate and utterly devoid of any vitality.
Since there was no life force, he naturally didn't need to be distracted like Qin Feng and the other two by resisting those mysterious forces that could devour life force.
The golden skull showed no objection whatsoever. He strode forward without hesitation, his well-defined legs carrying him.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng, Ling Xueyan, and Qing Jie quickly exchanged glances and then followed at a leisurely pace.
Not long after they started walking, a thick, ink-like fog began to rise around them. As if it were alive, the fog quickly gathered towards them.
Various hideous and terrifying ghost faces vaguely appeared in the mist, baring their teeth and claws, and occasionally emitting sharp, chilling screechs.
Faced with such a bizarre scene, Qin Feng dared not be careless. He immediately channeled his powerful divine energy into his eyes.
In an instant, two dazzling golden beams shot out from his eyes, like two sharp swords piercing straight into the thick fog.
As the golden light shone through, some of the fog was forcibly dispersed, revealing a narrow passage.
Just then, Qing Jie, who had been vigilantly observing his surroundings, suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Look over there!"
Following the direction she pointed, everyone looked and saw an ancient and dilapidated palace looming in and out of the mist.
The palace looked eerie and terrifying, with its walls crumbling and its doors and windows teetering on the verge of collapse, giving the impression that it could crumble at any moment.
Despite feeling somewhat uneasy, the group cautiously approached the palace.
When they got closer, they discovered that the palace gates were covered with dense, obscure runes.
These runes are twisted and intertwined like earthworms, making it impossible to discern their meaning.
Upon seeing this, the golden skull quickly stepped forward to examine it closely.
After careful consideration, it slowly spoke, "Based on my interpretation of these runes, the core should be hidden inside this palace."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and the other two exchanged glances, but their faces remained expressionless. They simply nodded slightly, appearing very calm.
Seeing that Qin Feng and his companions remained silent, the golden puppet stepped into the palace, with Qin Feng and his friends following closely behind.
As soon as they stepped into the palace, an incredibly powerful pressure suddenly swept over them from all directions.
The oppressive force was as heavy as Mount Tai crushing an egg, making it difficult for Qin Feng and the other two to breathe, and even causing their bodies to tremble involuntarily.
Despite the immense pressure, Qin Feng and the other two struggled to raise their heads and look towards the center of the palace.
There, suspended in the air, was a jet-black crystal, like a cold moon in the night, radiating a chilling cold and an extremely dense aura of death.
"This...this is the core you were talking about!" Qin Feng asked, looking at the golden puppet in front of him.
The golden puppet nodded. "Indeed, this is the core of the Death Domain."
"As long as we can successfully destroy it, the Death Domain will dissipate!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng gripped the Five Elements Divine Sword, which shimmered with multicolored light, even tighter in his hand. "Then what are we hesitating for?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was already eager to rush forward.
Just then, Ling Xueyan, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and grabbed Qin Feng, hurriedly advising, "Don't be in such a hurry!"
“Look at the appearance of this thing. It looks dangerous no matter how you look at it. It would probably be inappropriate to take action rashly.”
Qingjie nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Just look, you can feel the extremely dense aura of death coming towards you just by getting a little closer to it."
"In my opinion, there might be some unknown traps hidden around here."
After listening to their advice, the golden puppet remained silent for a moment before resolutely saying, "Fine, I'll go and test it out myself."
After saying that, it took steady steps and slowly walked towards the mysterious black crystal.
As the golden puppet drew closer and was about to touch the black crystal, a chilling sound suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, countless enormous, jet-black chains, as if summoned by some force, suddenly shot out from the ground and swiftly wrapped around the golden puppet.
The golden puppet, bound by these black chains, struggled desperately, but the chains were too numerous and too tight, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free.
At the same time, along with its violent movements, the bones inside its body began to make a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, as if they were about to break at any moment.
Seeing the golden puppet trapped, Qin Feng frowned and silently circulated his divine power. In an instant, his body shone with multicolored light.
Ling Xueyan and Qing Jie exchanged a glance and also mobilized their divine power.
The three quickly dispersed, forming a triangular formation, and launched a joint attack on the black chains.
Qin Feng shouted, and the Five Elements Divine Sword in his hand burst forth with intense light, slashing fiercely at the chains.
Ling Xueyan unleashed several ice shards, while Qing Jie summoned a green leaf magic weapon, which charged toward the chains with vigorous vitality.
However, the black chains remained motionless, instead releasing an even stronger aura of death.
Just then, the golden puppet suddenly shouted, "These are chains formed from the power of death. Ordinary attacks are useless; you need the power of purification!"
