Peerless Immortal God

Chapter 146- Double edged sword

The current situation continued on for two weeks. Most of the weaker competitors had already been killed by the beasts or other competitors. The test was getting increasingly challenging as stronger beasts began to emerge from the depths of the forest.

A few days ago, a spirit level beast actually appeared and slaughtered almost hundred juniors before retreating into the forest depths!

      Long Feng and Hua Liuli were quite unlucky too. They mistakenly disturbed a resting blood snake crocodile at the peak yang level!
The enraged crocodile ended up chasing after them for three days before it finally gave up.
    
         The duo rested for a day before continuing with their hunt. After going on a killing spree for the past two weeks,  currently, the both of them were ranked among the top two hundred competitors!. Sadly, their progress had slowed down because the others ranked above them were not easy opponents. Each of them had also killed a considerable number of beasts and it wasn't easy to surpass them. Nevertheless, they were still progressing.

         The both of them just finished off another horde and decided to settle down on a tree branch and rest.
"We should try heading deeper into the forest. We might be lucky enough to find a Yin ghost. Even the weakest Yin ghost give points comparable to killing a peak yang level beast." Long Feng suddenly proposed.
"it's too dangerous. You must know that the real overlords of the Yin ghost forest are not the beasts but the Yin ghosts. We can't afford to offend them. Besides, they can only be found deep in the forest. We won't even have our corpses left if we go that far in" Hua Liuli instantly declined.

Long Feng shrugged his shoulders. As he was about to speak again, he suddenly felt the surrounding Yin energy beginning to churn violently. Although it was almost undetectable to others, he was able sense this change using his demon energy.
Hua Liuli also seemed to have detected this change as she frowned slightly.
"Big brother Long Feng, what is happening?"

Long Feng shook his head
"I'm not sure. But the Yin energy seems to be gathering towards that direction" he pointed out a direction with his finger.
"Do we go then?" Hua Liuli asked.

"of course. We should find out what is going on. All those who can sense this change should be heading there too. We can't miss out on the fun." Long stood up and leapt onto another tree branch nearby.
Hua Liuli excitedly stood up and jumped after him.

On the way, Long Feng met a few other people who were headed in the same direction. The disturbance in the Yin energy was getting stronger and even the weaker people could sense it.

This piqued Long Feng's interest. Anything that could absorb such ambient Yin energy was obviously far from being ordinary.

Of course, the possibility of it being a wild beast was quite high. In that case, heading over was not a good idea. Still, few people could resist feeling curious even in the face of some danger.

As the disturbance became more and more obvious, Long Feng suddenly paused and looked into the sky. Many people were doing the same.

In the sky some distance away, a whirlpool appeared. The whirlpool was like a black hole, endlessly swallowing the Yin energy which showed no sign of decreasing in the face of such frightening absorption.

"What is going on?" Long Feng muttered as he gazed at the whirlpool in the sky.

        A change soon occurred a few minutes later. The whirlpool in the sky ceased absorbing the Yin energy  and slowly faded and the place became calm again.
This calm didn't last for long though.

A moment after the whirlpool vanished, a faint fragrance spread throughout the surroundings. Upon inhaling this fragrance, Long Feng was stunned to find his demon energy become a tiny bit purer.
Although this increase in purity was far too miniscule to be of much use, it was still there. Furthermore, his state of mind became calmer and his aura became slightly more refined.
