Chapter 1983 - 1984: The Secret of the Stone Monsters

There are too many stone monsters, whether in the sky or on the ground, they are everywhere.

Many loose cultivators lost their lives to the stone monsters, leaving them here permanently.

"Expert, to the left!"

Li Jin reminded from behind Ye Qiu. Hearing this, before the huge stone monster on the left could rush over, Ye Qiu threw a punch in mid-air, several meters away, and the stone monster fell with a crash, its body exploding.

Punching a stone monster to pieces with one hit?

Li Jin clicked his tongue repeatedly, astonished by the immense power.

Li Jin speculated about Ye Qiu’s true strength. Each stone monster was at least at the Void-breaking level; since its body was made of stone, even a Void-breaking martial artist would struggle to shatter it.

Li Jin had tried hitting a stone monster with a punch earlier. The stone monster didn’t fall, and his fist turned red instantly. Despite being at the peak of the late Void-breaking stage, he couldn’t compete with the stone monster, indicating its terrifying power.

Ye Qiu smashed several stone monsters in succession, noting that each one consisted solely of stone, without flesh or blood, even in their brains.

This puzzled Ye Qiu because stones are lifeless. How could they move? Moreover, these stone monsters obviously showed signs of being carved.

Ye Qiu concluded that the stone monsters were puppet-like tools designed to protect the cave dwelling.

With this thought, Ye Qiu turned around and said to Li Jin, "Stay right here, don’t move."

Immediately after, Ye Qiu approached a distant stone monster to confirm his theory. If he was correct, the creator of the stone monster was truly astonishing.

Woosh...

In the distance, the stone monsters raged, acting as a massive steamroller for the loose cultivators. Loose cultivators were no match for them, especially with their multiple hands that could merge into one, extend, and attack others.

Many loose cultivators died at their hands.

Screams echoed repeatedly, as numerous loose cultivators fled. Only those unable to escape fought the stone monsters to the death.

Ye Qiu focused on the nearest stone monster. This stone monster was killing a young loose cultivator. The youth was merely at the Emperor realm, not even reaching the Void-breaking stage, and his attacks were like tickling to the stone monster.

After the young man’s attack, the stone monster remained unfazed, swinging its large hand to grab the youth.

The youth struggled desperately to escape, but it was futile. The stone monster’s grip was like a pincer, holding him tightly.

Ah!

The youth could feel his bones breaking; the stone monster squeezing him would soon kill him.

Just then, a flash of light, and the despairing youth suddenly felt the stone monster stop. "I’m not dead?"

The youth was overjoyed, realizing he had been saved by a master who killed the stone monster. He looked up to see a person standing on the stone monster’s immobile shoulder, holding and inspecting its head single-handedly.

"Just as I thought."

After examining the head for a moment, Ye Qiu jumped off the stone monster. The youth cupped his hands toward Ye Qiu’s departing figure, voiced his gratitude, and then struggled free.

At this time, Li Jin was being attacked by two stone monsters. Although he couldn’t kill them, they couldn’t easily take him down either, resulting in a stalemate.

However, when the stone bird monsters joined, Li Jin’s face fell.

He could barely handle two, but three was too much, so he broke into a run, constantly changing directions. This escape avoided the giant stone monsters but made it difficult to evade the stone bird monsters.

Swoosh.

A stone bird monster slashed at Li Jin, leaving a deep gash on his body.

"Damn, here comes another one." Li Jin felt the wind from above and knew it was the sign of a stone bird monster swooping down.

"Master, hurry back! If you don’t, I’ll be finished here." Li Jin changed directions every few steps, but even so, the stone bird monsters injured him.

After several attempts, his back was covered with wounds. Continuing like this, he would bleed to death even if the stone bird monsters didn’t kill him.

"Damn it, I’ll fight you!" Li Jin, realizing the stone bird monster targeted him, decided not to dodge anymore and prepared for a final showdown.

Just then, with a thud, the stone bird monster targeting Li Jin crashed into the ground, leaving Li Jin stunned. He’d never seen a stone bird monster use such a move before.

Seeing Ye Qiu standing on the stone bird monster, Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Master, you finally showed up."

"Follow me, let’s get out of here." Ye Qiu said softly. Li Jin hadn’t realized it was Ye Qiu’s voice, but nodded, following him. With Ye Qiu present, he felt secure, no longer anxious.

This was someone who could punch stone monsters to death and stomp on stone bird monsters.

Seeing Ye Qiu open the way, Li Jin’s mouth gradually gaped as he realized Ye Qiu’s attacks were fiercer this time. Neither the charging giant stone monsters nor the diving stone bird monsters with extended claws could withstand more than three moves under Ye Qiu’s hands, usually being instantly killed.

Truly too fierce!

Li Jin was utterly impressed by Ye Qiu, his awe reaching its peak, as even the stone monsters pursuing loose cultivators turned to attack Ye Qiu instead.

Yet, no number of stone monsters could match Ye Qiu. He could lightly eliminate one with a single attack.

"Who is that mighty person? Unbelievable, taking down a stone monster with every step."

"Forget who it is; with this guy, we can survive."

"I have to say, unbelievably fierce, as if walking through unchallenged territory."

Watching stone monsters falling incessantly beside Ye Qiu, the fleeing loose cultivators stopped, realizing that the stone monsters weren’t coming for them; they were all drawn to Ye Qiu. More astonishingly, Ye Qiu killed them with ease.

Comparing themselves facing the stone monsters, they wished for two more legs to run faster.

Why is there such a big gap between people?

The astounded crowd didn’t realize that Ye Qiu had discovered the stone monsters’ weakness. These stone monsters were inanimate, controlled by small formations inside their heads. Destroying the formation meant the end for the stone monster.

As an Array Master, Ye Qiu admired the creator of these stone monsters, who used formations to this extent. It was beyond ordinary capability. Even he, Ye Qiu, had no such mastery in formations.

Although he couldn’t fully understand the formations in the stone monsters’ heads, he could destroy them.

And so, Ye Qiu easily wiped out the stone monsters.

...

Deep within the cave dwelling, Xu Zhenzi stared at the large formation before him, lost in thought, finally stopping as he could go no further. The formation ahead was far more abstruse and complex than any previous ones.

"Hm?"

Just then, Xu Zhenzi sensed several auras suddenly appearing behind him.

"Finally reached this wretched cave dwelling’s depths. I wonder if there’s anything here to catch my eye." A boastful youth walked in slowly.
