On the gray-brown earth, a faint gray mist floats slowly with the breeze, and the hazy world gives people a mysterious feeling.

It is as if, in this world, even time has lost its concept.

And somewhere on this land, a figure was walking slowly, pointing directly into the depths of the land. This person was none other than Qin Yichen!

Qin Yichen now looks more determined and restrained than when he first came in.

"This should be close to the depths of the ruins, right?"

Qin Yichen raised his head, glanced around, and murmured to himself.

Along the way, the attacks he encountered from energy bodies became more and more frequent, and the strength of those energy bodies became more and more powerful.

Even before, an energy body he met had a hint of sanity. If he hadn't discovered it in time, he would have almost been tricked.

And as he went deeper and deeper, the feeling from the Giant's Hammer became stronger.

"Oh, this place is really not as simple as imagined..."

Qin Yichen's forward steps suddenly stalled, and a few feet away in front of him, there was a vague figure standing in the gray mist.

Suddenly, Qin Yichen's eyes narrowed.

This figure was a little different from the energy bodies he had seen before.

Those energy bodies were all condensed by mental power, but this figure gave Qin Yichen the feeling that he was standing there alone.

This figure looks quite old, with its skin and flesh turning into wood, and there are cracks on it that look like tree bark. The most shocking thing are its eyes.

It was as black as ink, without any sparkle, and looked extremely scary.

Moreover, from the cracks on its body that looked like tree bark, there was also a hint of black energy.

This is no longer a human, more like...a demon!

"Whoosh!"

This figure was like a ghost. He suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yichen in a flash, and his thin and black palms directly grabbed Qin Yichen.

"Well……"

With Qin Yichen's reaction speed, he only had time to take a step back before he was caught by this figure.

The palms lacking black energy pinched Qin Yichen's neck forcefully. The long and sharp nails dug into the flesh, and traces of black energy seeped into Qin Yichen's body from the neck.

These actions happened in an instant. Qin Yichen felt his neck tighten, and his whole body seemed to be suffocated, unable to breathe at all. Then, a cold breath seeped in, making him shiver uncontrollably.

At that moment, he suddenly felt like something had stuck a needle in his soul, and an indescribable pain spread throughout his body.

At the same time, from the position of his neck, black energy spread wantonly... to his chest and his cheeks.

At this moment, Qin Yichen finally understood why many people from the Mo clan couldn't get out after entering.

The demonized figure in front of me is so powerful that it is probably more than just an imperial realm.

Moreover, this is not the deepest part of the ruins.

As the black energy seeped in, Qin Yichen soon discovered that the black energy did not spread into the meridian dantian, but instead rushed towards his sea of ​​consciousness!

"What on earth is this thing?!"

Realizing that the traces of black energy were corroding his mental strength, Qin Yichen suddenly felt horrified.

Perhaps, the figure in front of me became what it is now because it was eroded by black energy and occupied the sea of ​​consciousness.

He did not close his eyes and wait for death.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, his mental power was controlled by him and he resisted.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The mental power and the black energy collided, causing bursts of vibrations and violent vibrations, causing blood to flow from Qin Yichen's eyes and nose, and even the inside of his eyes were covered with black.

This also proves that his sea of ​​consciousness was lost and his soul was corroded by black energy.

If his sea of ​​consciousness is completely lost, then he will become a zombie like the figure in front of him.

However, during these collisions, Qin Yichen discovered the weaknesses of these black energies...

Although he doesn't know what this black energy is, it can corrode mental power. However, it has a fatal weakness... it's flashy!

Whether it is black energy or mental power, they are all ethereal, like mist-like existences. If you want your mental power to condense into a shape, you must have sufficient control.

Controlling mental power is also the achievement of mental power.

For example, reaching a fine level of attainment can initially condense the mist-like mental power to form an attack method. However, the attacks at this level are very weak. In terms of actual level, they are equivalent to wood at most.

As for the micro-level attainments, they are relatively much stronger, and the actual level can be equivalent to that of a stone.

The huge difference between wood and stone is obvious.

When you reach the level of trance, the gap becomes even greater, and the level is no less than that of steel weapons.

The mental power is like thousands of swords firing at once, and its destructive power is so strong that no one can ignore it.

The black energy in front of him was as solid as a steel weapon. From this, Qin Yichen could tell that the figure in front of him should be a person whose mental power had reached the level of trance.

However, how could Qin Yichen, who was once an alchemy sage, have only mental attainments in trance?!

After knowing the weakness of the black energy, Qin Yichen no longer panicked, but stayed within the sea of ​​consciousness and fought steadily.

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the body of spiritual power has been sitting cross-legged in the center with eyes closed. At the edge, black energy is billowing, like a monster coming, it is very scary.

However, these black energies were resisted.

However, this is only temporary.

The black energy kept flowing in, like a flood, forcing Qin Yichen to retreat step by step.

Obviously, although this figure's attainments are only in trance, his level far exceeds that of Qin Yichen.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the Sea of ​​Consciousness is lost.

"We can't continue to be so passive!"

Qin Yichen decided not to passively defend and decided to take a risk.

Most of his energy was still focused on defending against black energy erosion, but he had condensed a needle-shaped mental force and was ready to attack.

"out!"

As he shouted deeply, the needle-shaped mental force pierced the billowing black air like a flying sword.

"Tsk!"

The black energy was cut open like a piece of copper, and the needle-shaped mental power broke out and shot directly into the dark eyes of the figure in front of Qin Yichen.

"Bang!……"

As a muffled sound came from the head of the figure, the figure suddenly seemed to be drunk, rushing left and right, and finally collapsed.

"Ahem..."

Qin Yichen covered his neck and coughed violently. At the same time, he took out several pills from the ring and drank them to stabilize the injuries on his body.
Chapter completed!
