"What is this...?"
Gu Chenfeng was astonished to see a mass of black clouds appear at the boundary of the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins.
He did not approach rashly, instead sweeping his Divine Sense toward the clouds.
The instant his Divine Sense touched them-
A cold, sinister energy seemed about to freeze his Divine Sense, sending a shudder through his entire body.
Gu Chenfeng steadied his Divine Sense and probed the situation within the clouds.
Dimly, he saw a "blood-colored chain" within the dense black mist.
The chain was formed from countless blood-colored runes, exuding an incomparably sinister, bloody, and icy aura.
His Divine Sense instinctively followed the chain deeper into the black mist.
Clatter...!
Suddenly, the chain shook violently.
It seemed that something terrifying at the far end of the black mist had set it moving.
At that moment, Gu Chenfeng saw something in the distance.
Deep in the darkness, a pair of blood-colored eyes lit up.
Those bloody eyes pierced the black mist and met his gaze from afar, indescribably eerie.
The next moment, a voice filled with temptation sounded beside Gu Chenfeng's ears.
"Gu Chenfeng... do you want greater power? I can help you."
Gu Chenfeng found the voice strangely familiar, yet could not recall where he had heard it.
"Who are you? How did you appear in the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins?"
Gu Chenfeng remembered what Leng Xingye had said.
These Phantom Martial Divine Ruins were some "supreme treasure of the Eternal Heaven Realm." Aside from himself, there should not have been any living things inside.
The owner of the bloody eyes laughed with growing playfulness.
"Heh heh... I am the source of your power. You... created me."
"I created you?" Gu Chenfeng was somewhat bewildered and suspicious.
"You don't believe me?"
A hint of mockery
