Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 281

281 The Strange Energy Enters Shen Fei’s Body

It was obvious that the boars had not expected such a small spirit beast to possess such terrifying strength.

At that moment, they did not bother with Shen Fei anymore, and ran away as if they were afraid.

But how could the Flame Owl allow them to escape?

Like a flash, it chased after them. A talon smacked the back of a Wild Boar, causing it to shriek in pain. Its body fell to the ground, dead.

!!
“Coo, coo!”

The remaining Wild Boars let out angry roars and kept running. However, they could not shake off the Flame Owl. In the end, under its onslaught, the Wild Boars all died.

In the next moment, a gust of wind blew past, sweeping up a large number of dead branches, mud, and other things, attacking Shen Fei. Shen Fei dodged hastily to avoid them. However, there were too many objects flying at him, and he could not dodge them at all, so he only had one choice.

Shen Fei gritted his teeth, then went straight into the dark forest.

The trees were dense, and it was extremely dark. Shen Fei could only rely on his sense of smell and hearing for navigation.

These densely packed trees could not stop Shen Fei. In less than half a minute, he arrived in front of a hole. The hole was about seventy to eighty meters wide, and there was no light inside.

In the pitch-black hole, there were many powerful auras coming from it. It was these powerful auras that prevented even Shen Fei’s divine sense from penetrating it.

“There’s definitely danger here.” Shen Fei’s brows furrowed and he immediately jumped in.

Shen Fei found himself in the depths of a cave. A dense death Qi immediately shot toward him. This death Qi was so dense that it had a liquid form, giving off a suffocating feeling.

“Yikes, what is this place?”

Shen Fei was surprised, and quickly circulated his Qi to resist it. However, that incomparably strong death Qi still made him uncomfortable.

Shen Fei frowned and thought, ‘It seems I can’t stay here any longer, or my true Qi will be exhausted.’

However, just as he was thinking about what to do, a terrifying aura suddenly gushed out from this underground cave. It swirled and gathered quickly, forming a huge ball. The surface of the ball was already covered in a layer of dust, almost unnoticeable from a distance.

“Huh? How could there be such a strong aura here?” Shen Fei was shocked. He then released his true Qi to investigate the ball.

“As expected, this is a spatial node. At this moment, he had already understood that he was trapped in a spatial node. Moreover, this spatial node exists independently; it hasn’t been used by anyone. In other words, this spatial node is a unique existence that doesn’t belong to this world… What is this place? Why does it have such a dense death Qi? It even contains a wisp of strange energy?”

Shen Fei was puzzled, and he was only filled with questions.

“Forget it. Since I can’t get out, I’ll just absorb this death Qi first!” Shen Fei immediately circulated the Soul-devouring Mantra and began to take in the surrounding death Qi for himself.

There was no resistance from the death Qi. Instead, it was like a sweet and delicious wine as it gathered inside Shen Fei’s spiritual core. As this power continued to pour in, the true Qi in his spiritual core also increased. Shen Fei’s cultivation level was also rapidly increasing.

Boom…

Suddenly, a distant thunderous sound came from the depths of the cave. The sound was loud, and carried an indescribable pressure that made Shen Fei feel some anxiety.

“What is this?” Shen Fei’s expression turned solemn.

His cultivation had not broken through to the imperial martial realm, so he was not strong enough to withstand the pressure. But the pressure did not last long, and the atmosphere quickly returned to normal.

Shen Fei heaved a sigh of relief, then continued to devour the death Qi—

Boom!

Another distant sound of thunder echoed out, sending numbing tingles up Shen Fei’s scalp.

“The hell!”

Shen Fei could already feel the change in the death Qi. The deathly aura was controlled by a powerful existence, and the one controlling this power was the spatial node.

Moreover, there was an extremely powerful existence inside this spatial node that seemed to be in a deep sleep. It was still extremely terrifying and made him tremble in fear.

When Shen Fei felt all of this, his expression became even more panic-stricken.

This kind of existence was not something he could handle at all. In fact, he could not even hold a candle to it. Moreover, this aura was not something he could control at the moment. He had to find a way out of this cursed place!

Just as Shen Fei was letting his imagination run wild, a strange aura suddenly appeared beside him.

“What now?!”

Shen Fei panicked. He used his teleportation skill, wanting to leave this place at once.

However, just as Shen Fei was about to teleport away, the strange aura appeared around him. Then, a pair of cold hands grabbed him and pressed him to the ground.

“Crap! This thing is really not messing around!” Shen Fei’s expression changed drastically.

He tried his best to resist, to break free from the hold, but the strength of those hands far exceeded his.

Crack!

With a loud explosive sound, Shen Fei felt as though all the bones in his body had been shattered. He lay sprawled on the ground, unmoving.

‘What kind of monster is this? Its power is too scary.’

Shen Fei’s face was filled with shock. However, this force seemed to be targeting him, and was constantly suppressing him. Shen Fei tried his best to escape, but it was still to no avail. The pressure was simply too much.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones breaking came from Shen Fei’s body. Blood was flowing out of him, and the blood was black. It even gave off a foul smell.

This stench caused Shen Fei to retch. But even if he retched, Shen Fei knew that his body was gradually deteriorating.

If this continued, his body would be completely corroded, and he would become a soulless husk.

‘No! I can’t be tortured to death like this! I still have friends and family back home. I can’t die like this…”

Shen Fei gritted his teeth and persevered. However, the pressure did not decrease at all. Instead, it became even more intense.

BOOM!

Suddenly, Shen Fei felt a sharp pain. His spiritual core had been torn apart, and the crack was exposed. A powerful force seeped from the crack.

The death Qi was like a venomous snake, trying to enter Shen Fei’s mind and his divine sense.

“No, I won’t let you succeed!” He immediately circulated the Sky Devouring Technique.
