Qingfeng nodded and walked towards the black rock, as he said, âI donât care if youâre a creature, or a demonic rock, but get away right now. Iâm going to crack this Illusionary array, so donât blame me for attacking.â
After he spoke, he looked at the black rock quietly, but the black rock refused to move and didnât care for what Qingfeng said at all.
Qingfengâs face grew cold, as he said coldly, âSince you wonât move, then donât blame me for being rude.â
He activated his internal vital essence to release a rush of powerful energy, as he waved his right fist to form a curve. His punch tore through the void and heavily clashed onto the black rock.
Qingfengâs fist shook the space with incredible force. If it clashed onto the rock, then it could definitely shatter it.
Right before Qingfengâs fist landed onto the black rock, something shocking happened in the next moment. Two legs suddenly appeared from underneath the black rock.
Thatâs right, two legs in the shape of a humanâs, but they had no skin, blood, muscles, and veins. Instead they were made of stone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, the legs dodged backwards like human self-cultivatorsâ legs and dodged Qingfengâs fist attack.
Qingfeng stopped and looked at the rockâs two legs with suspicion and asked, âWhat is this? How could this thing be running?â
The rock said angrily, âYouâre a thing, Iâm not a thing. Iâm rock man.â
An angered voice came from the black rock, followed by Qingfeng and the othersâ shocked looks. Two arms grew out from the two sides of the black rock, as a head popped out from above.
This head was the same as a human self-cultivatorâs head with a nose, eyes, and a mouth, but it was all made of rocks.
Qingfeng was shocked, as it was the first time he met a talking rock with such a resemblance to humans. If he didnât see it for himself, then he would suspect that it had trained into a demonic creature.
Qingfeng turned around and asked the Peach Blossom She-Devil beside him, âWhat is this species? Have you seen it before?â
The Peach Blossom She-Devil nodded and said, âI once saw it in the ancestral texts. This is called rock man, once a powerful general under the Sun Monarch. It had followed the Sun Monarch into countless battles, wiped out countless cities, and helped him conquer the Crimson Fire Continent.â
Qingfeng nodded, no wonder he failed to recognize this rock man. So it was a creature from five thousand years ago and had already disappeared over time.
Qingfeng sighed deep down. No wonder the Sun Monarch ruled the Crimson Fire Continent five thousand years ago. Not only was he very powerful, but his followers were invincible as well. Unfortunately, he lost to the Crimson Fire Monarch in the end.
Qingfeng even had a feeling that this Crimson Fire Monarch must be extremely powerful. Even though the Crimson Fire Monarch was his enemy, he couldnât underestimate the Monarchâs powers.
When a lion goes after a rabbit, it has to use all its powers. Qingfeng was determined to get more powers, increase his abilities, and acquire more treasures, such that he could eventually kill the Crimson Fire Monarch and rescue Ruyan Liu and Little Apple.
The black rock man looked at Qingfeng and Peach Blossom She-Devil and said, âSince you know who I am, leave here immediately, and donât step into the Sun Monarchâs Tomb. No one is allowed to disturb him.â
Qingfeng shook his head and said, âSorry, today I must enter the Sun Monarchâs Tomb, and get the legacy inside. No one can stop me, not even you.â
Cold light flashed in the rock manâs eyes as he said, âSince you are asking for death, then Iâll grant you your wish.â
âRock Press.â The rock man guided all the big black rocks around as they moved nonstop and crowded around Qingfeng and the others.
Qingfeng looked over and saw hundreds of rocks crash towards them. If they were hit, then they definitely would be deeply wounded.
Qingfeng immediately pulled out the Sky-Breaking Halberd, as he injected his internal vital essence into the Halberd. The halberd drew a curve in the air and charged towards the rocks before them.
With his own energy and the power of the Sky-Breaking Halberd, which was nearly nine million kilos in weight, the big rocks were immediately shattered and turned into countless pieces.
The black rock manâs face changed as he said, âSky-Breaking Halberd, how is this possible? How did you get such a treasure?â
Clearly the rock man recognized Qingfengâs Sky-Breaking Halberd and was shocked by it.
Qingfeng lightly smiled and said, âA disgruntled elder gifted this to me. Do you know him? Where does this come from?â
The rock manâs face changed, but he kept his mouth shut and said nothing. Clearly, it was forbidden, such that not even it would dare to say anything.
The rock man turned around to escape, but Qingfeng moved like a whirlwind with great speed, and immediately blocked its way. Then he waved his Sky-Breaking Halberd and charged forward.
The rock manâs face changed as it hurriedly raised its right hand to block. However, its right hand was made of rocks, so it wasnât able to block the sharp and heavy Sky-Breaking Halberd, as it immediately punched a hole into its palm. There was no blood, just pieces of rocks that dropped onto the floor.
The rock man whimpered in pain and dug into the ground underneath without any hesitation, immediately disappearing underground.
Qingfeng frowned and said, âGround-digging technique, not bad.â
He used his own clairvoyance to look downwards, but failed to find the rock man, as it had escaped.
The Peach Blossom She-Devil walked to Qingfengâs side and said, âThe rock man didnât run away by digging into the ground, it just combined itself with the soil. Rock man came from the soil, and with several hundreds of thousands of years of change in the air and soilâs spirituality, it formed into rocks.â
Qingfeng suddenly realized that no wonder he couldnât find the rock man. So it had blended into the soil?
Suddenly, the Rock Formation disappeared just as the rock man did. Without the rock manâs guidance and support, nothing could trap Qingfeng and the others anymore.
Qingfeng lightly smiled, and didnât search for the rock man anymore, because his goal was the Sun Monarch Tomb and not some rock man.
Qingfeng then said, âCome, letâs move forward.â
Not long after Qingfengâs group left, and the rock man reappeared from the place where they once stood.
Then countless soil gathered to form pieces of black rocks in that same spot, as rocks gathered to form the appearance of rock man.
The rock manâs face was grim with cold fury in his eyes, as he looked at Qingfengâs groupâs backs.
