Chapter 6

This is a circular yin-yang fish pendant, half glowing with a hazy white light, the other half swirling with threads of black mist. The yin and yang forces on the pendant continuously interact, exuding an ancient and timeless aura, as if it had existed since the beginning of the world.

A mysterious force caused the yin-yang fish pendant to float between the middle-aged man's hands.

Gu Fei reached out and grabbed the pendant floating between the middle-aged man's hands. The cave immediately darkened as his palm blocked the light source, instantly turning pitch black.

"Amazing!" Gu Fei exclaimed. Such a small pendant was the only light source in the vast cave. So miraculous, this pendant must be no ordinary object.

Opening his palm, a hazy light spread from Gu Fei's hand, illuminating the dark cave and dispelling the darkness.

Upon closer inspection, the yin-yang fish on the pendant seemed to be naturally formed. Holding it in his hand, a warm sensation seeped into Gu Fei's palm, greatly reducing his chill.

There was a small hole on the yin-yang fish pendant, as if it originally had a chain or something similar attached to it, which was then worn around the neck. However, now only the pendant remained.

Gu Fei thought for a moment, then tore strips of fabric from his clothes, forming a strong thread, which he threaded through the small hole in the pendant and tied around his neck, wearing it on his chest.

The yin and yang forces on the pendant interacted, radiating a warm aura that immediately dispelled all the cold from Gu Fei's body, making him feel more energetic. The internal injuries that had not yet healed seemed to show signs of improvement.

Then, Gu Fei began to observe the immortal body and the hundred-foot-long black-glowing skeletal remains of the strange beast.

"An unparalleled powerhouse with boundless power, actually condensed his body into an immortal form. What level of cultivation is required to make the body immortal?" Gu Fei exclaimed.

A powerhouse is a powerhouse, even after disappearing, they remain extraordinary.

The existence of an immortal body of an unparalleled powerhouse in the cave shocked Gu Fei, and also made him feel a chill. Beneath the cold green water, it seemed to hide unknown secrets.

This supreme expert, in life, was comparable to a deity. If measured by the cultivation realm standards, the middle-aged man's realm was definitely above the Saint Realm.

To remain uncorrupted for countless years after death, even a demigod would not have such ability!

His attire was ancient, clearly from a long-gone era, yet he remained vivid. A large hole was blasted in his heart, and his blood seemed not yet dried.

Who could have killed such a person, and what kind of terrifying existence could it be?

Why was he killed here? Who killed him? The fragmented skeleton on the ground seemed to emit a faint aura of evil, only the bones of a demon, nourished by the most evil and wicked demonic aura in the world, would be black.

Moreover, the black and shiny bones of the fragmented skeleton under the immortal body and the hundred-foot-long strange beast indicated that this demon was a demon among demons in life. The strange beast was also a powerful existence among demons.

Scattered around the middle-aged man were a dozen or so pieces of shattered metal. These were not ordinary metal objects; the killing aura they emitted indicated that they were pieces of a shattered demonic weapon.

At the middle-aged man's feet, Gu Fei found two broken sword fragments. The swords were ancient in design, not from the present era, but still gleamed with a cold light, showing their extraordinary nature.

Unfortunately, they were already broken.

In front of the middle-aged man, on a large rock, "Hmm?" Gu Fei, using the light from the yin-yang fish pendant, vaguely saw some writing on the rock.

Approaching, he indeed saw that the hard black rock was inscribed with a line of characters. These characters were ancient and powerful, and Gu Fei had never seen them before, clearly not from this era.

The ancient characters, strong and vigorous, when Gu Fei focused on them, a faint spiritual fluctuation emanated from them.

Gu Fei was instantly shocked. This unparalleled powerhouse, who had died countless years ago, had a cultivation level that was truly astonishing, reaching an unimaginable level. The characters he left on the rock still carried a spiritual fluctuation, condensed and undispersed, even to this day.

"Slain the Boundless Demon Lord, and the Black Water Black Snake here!"

The faint spiritual fluctuation from the characters allowed Gu Fei to understand the meaning of the line.

"Boundless Demon Lord? Could it be the fragmented black skeleton under this unparalleled powerhouse's feet? Black Water Black Snake, the skeleton of this strange beast, is actually from the Black Water Black Snake?"

Gu Fei did not know who the Boundless Demon Lord was, but he knew what the Black Water Black Snake was, and he was stunned.

Black Water Black Snake: A giant snake, black in body, white in belly, green-eyed, with a body thicker than four zhang and longer than a hundred zhang. It eats immortal herbs and does not die, living for over ten thousand years, residing in the great swamps of the west. It is also said to live in the sea. This is a description of the Black Water Black Snake from the *Beast Record* of the Tenglong Continent.

The Black Water Black Snake was a terrifying ancient beast. The fact that this person killed it in a cave beneath the cold green water was truly unbelievable.

Gu Fei thought of the beast that had captured him and brought him here. Green eyes, the beast also had green eyes. Could it be... Gu Fei felt a chill.

The hundred-foot-long beast bones were cut into seven or eight segments, and the head was completely shattered, indicating the intense attack the ancient beast had endured.

"Hmm?" Gu Fei suddenly noticed some white objects scattered among the beast bones. He hurried over and couldn't help but gasp.

They were some half-black, half-white eggshell-like objects, scattered among the large skeleton.

Trouble, trouble, Gu Fei was secretly alarmed. I said, how could there be such a powerful beast in the cold green water? It turns out it was the offspring of this Black Water Black Snake causing trouble.

The dead Black Water Black Snake, though cut into seven or eight segments, left behind a snake egg. After countless years, not only did the egg not lose its vitality, but it also hatched a young snake.

Thinking of this, Gu Fei's head ached. Even a young Black Water Black Snake, not yet fully grown, was beyond his ability to handle.

This place was definitely not a good place. Everything in this cave was beyond his understanding.

In shock, Gu Fei picked up the two ancient sword fragments on the ground. They were heavy, with simple and ancient patterns engraved on the blades, reflecting his hair and emitting a cold aura, clearly not ordinary.

Even though Gu Fei was not a sword cultivator from one of the three major Daoist sects, the Guangcheng Immortal Sect, he knew that this ancient sword was definitely a divine weapon.

"Even though the sword is broken, it can still be useful against the young Black Water Black Snake," Gu Fei thought. Clearly, the hundred-foot-long Black Water Black Snake that the unparalleled powerhouse killed was already an adult.

Perhaps, he used this ancient sword to cut it into seven or eight segments.

Gu Fei looked around and saw that a small section of the Black Water Black Snake's massive skeleton extended into a large water pool in the cave wall.

The size of the pool could be imagined; the Black Water Black Snake must have broken through the hard rock from that direction to enter this cave.

Just as Gu Fei was thinking about how to escape from this cave, suddenly, there was a "splash" of water, and a large, fierce snake head, as big as a basket, emerged from the water pool next to the bones. Two fist-sized green eyes flashed with terrifying ferocity.
