Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 283

283 The Black Skeleton

The black vortex started to spin again and released a terrifying suction force. It seemed like it was trying to pull Shen Fei’s primordial spirit into the black bead.

At this, Shen Fei immediately panicked. “F*ck, I’m not really going to be sucked in by this thing, am I?”

This was a huge problem. Shen Fei’s primordial spirit had already been severely damaged. It could not even withstand another blow. If it was absorbed by this bead, would he not be dead?

‘Is there really no other way? What is this black bead anyway?’ Shen Fei thought in distress. But very quickly, an idea came to him.

!!
‘That’s right, since this bead has such a powerful devouring ability, why don’t I just devour it? Perhaps the owner of this bead prepared it that way!’

As he thought of this, Shen Fei’s eyes suddenly turned black, and his entire body sank. Then, the black light in the bead suddenly exploded, and a ball of pitch-black fire shot out of it and expanded rapidly.

Fwoosh!

Then, the pitch-black flame suddenly flared up. As for Shen Fei’s primordial spirit, it was like a thin piece of paper, instantly shattering and dispersing into the air.

However, Shen Fei’s soul did not immediately perish. His primordial spirit was still floating in the air, but it was trembling non-stop. At this moment, Shen Fei’s eyes were drawn to the illusionary scene in front of him.

He saw a huge stone platform. This huge stone platform was like a palace, and he stood inside it. There was a very large square. On the square, there were all kinds of weapons, armors, and other things. There were also some rare medicinal pills and all kinds of rare materials.

At the front of the square was a huge altar. On the altar, there was a coffin. This coffin was completely black and emitted waves of cold light.

There was a layer of black mist surrounding the coffin. It was a powerful and evil aura.

‘What is this place?’ Shen Fei thought dubiously to himself.

Suddenly, a deafening sound came from the square, and the entire palace shook violently. Shen Fei was shocked. He had closed his eyes to brace himself, but when nothing happened to him, he quickly opened them again and looked at his surroundings.

He was in another huge cave, and the inside of the cave was filled with black mist. It was obvious that there was some kind of spatial law that confined him. Moreover, this cave was very deep, and there was very little light in the area. Even with Shen Fei’s vision, he could only see about a kilometer away, and his range of vision stopped there. Moreover, he had no idea how high this cave was. It was like an eternal abyss.

‘What the hell is this place? How did such a strange place come to be?’ Though Shen Fei’s heart was filled with confusion, he was not afraid. Instead, he looked cheerful.

Although he could not see his surroundings clearly, he could feel the spatial fluctuations around him. These fluctuations were coming from the world outside the cave. And the cave itself was actually not too big, only a thousand meters or so around him.

The walls of the cave were embedded with countless fist-sized red crystals, which dimly illuminated the space. In the middle of the cave, there was a man sitting cross-legged.

This person was dressed in gray and had a small and thin figure, but he was extremely shriveled up, like a dried corpse. A long sword hung above his head. There was also a black lotus flower above his head, which exuded a netherworld aura. There were blood-colored beads that slowly circled above the flower. Around the black lotus floated wisps of strange black mist.

Seeing this old man, Shen Fei frowned and could not help but mutter, “What kind of monster is that?”

Shen Fei was confused about everything, the skeleton, the black vortex… What exactly was all of this?

“Roar!” A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the black vortex. The vortex moved! It rushed out and leaped at Shen Fei.

Seeing this, Shen Fei was shocked, but he hid his emotion, and immediately threw a punch at the black vortex. Immediately, a huge black shadow spewed out from the black vortex. It came with a strong wind and ruthlessly attacked Shen Fei.

The black shadow’s speed was incredible, and it reached Shen Fei faster than a blink. Shen Fei’s eyes flickered. He waved his hand and then an open palm thrust at the black vortex.

Bang!

The black shadow was sent flying back by the strike and turned into black smoke. However, just as the black smoke dissipated, the black vortex immediately recollected itself, and condensed into a black skeleton.

The black skeleton that came out this time was not a human-shaped creature, but a large black skeleton. This skeleton was thirty meters tall, and was dressed in black armor. It looked majestic, yet extremely horrifying.

“Kekeke… I never thought that there would be someone who would dare to break into our demon territory.”

The skeleton cackled strangely and looked at Shen Fei. He sounded like he was mocking him.

Shen Fei huffed and said, “And who are you?”

The black skeleton cackled sinisterly. “You don’t need to know who I am. I only need to tell you that you’re going to die soon. Moreover, you will become extremely miserable, even after your death!”

Hearing this, Shen Fei’s face turned cold. In his primordial spirit form, Shen Fei could not fully control his own faculties, but he was still able to understand the words of this skeleton. Hence, he immediately retorted with, “Who do you think you are? You actually dare to threaten me?!”

After hearing Shen Fei’s words, the black skeleton cackled again and said, “Kid, you still don’t understand. In this demon area, no one can survive, even if you have extraordinary talent!” Then, a monstrous aura burst out from the black skeleton and swept outwards. “Die, brat! I’ll refine you into a puppet and make you my slave!”

After it finished speaking, the skeleton’s body swayed and charged toward Shen Fei. Like before, the skeleton was fast and came face-to-face with Shen Fei in a heartbeat.

Shen Fei’s face was blank. He did not dodge or evade. Instead, he sent a punch at the black skeleton. When the black skeleton saw Shen Fei’s attack, it revealed a derisive sneer. It immediately raised its arm to block Shen Fei’s fist, but stopped moving as soon as it raised them…

…Because Shen Fei’s seemingly ordinary fist had actually penetrated through the skeleton’s armored bones, and smashed into the skull.
