Chapter 49 The Rise of Dark Forces

Under the guidance of Xuan Tianzi, Qin Feng, Ye Li and Ling Tian embarked on a new journey. Their goal was to find the source of the dark power sensed by Xuan Tianzi, located in an almost forgotten ancient area in the world of soul masters.

"That place is called 'Minggu'. It is said to be a cursed place and was once the lair of dark forces." Ye Li explained during the journey. She learned some legends about Minggu through ancient books.

"Underworld Valley... this name sounds chilling." Ling Tian frowned, his fire spiritual power seemed a little uneasy in the cold atmosphere around him.

Qin Feng gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly. He felt a slight vibration coming from the sword, as if warning of some impending danger. "Whatever it is, we must find it and destroy it."

As they gradually approached the Dark Valley, the surrounding environment became more and more desolate and gloomy. There were almost no living creatures here, and the air was filled with a smell of decay and death, as if the entire area was swallowed by darkness.

"Something is really wrong here." Ye Li observed her surroundings. Her frost fox was exploring the way ahead, and the cold air was sensing any abnormalities around her like a warning line.

Finally, after crossing a barren wasteland, they arrived at the entrance of the Hades Valley. The scene here was more terrifying than they expected, with huge cracks and dark abysses crisscrossing, like a portal to hell.

"This is the source of the dark power." Qin Feng said in a low voice. He felt a strong evil breath in the air.

The three entered the Dark Valley without hesitation. They knew that they had to keep going despite the unknown dangers ahead. The scene in the Dark Valley was extremely terrifying. The ground was covered with ancient altars and dry bones, and the air was filled with a strong dark force, as if the entire space was corroding their souls.

"These altars seem to be used to summon some kind of evil power. We must be careful." Ye Li was observing an ancient altar. She felt that the spiritual power fluctuations remaining in the altar were extremely powerful.

Qin Feng and Ling Tian also raised their vigilance, their martial spirits were ready to face any possible attack at any time. As they went deeper, the dark power around them gradually strengthened, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at them in the dark.

"We have entered the enemy's territory and may be attacked at any time." Ling Tian reminded, his fire power burning in his hands, ready to counterattack at any time.

As they moved forward cautiously, a low roar suddenly came from the darkness. Then, a group of soul beasts corrupted by the power of darkness emerged from all around, their eyes filled with ferocious light, as if they were left with only the desire to kill.

"Get ready for battle!" Qin Feng shouted, and the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand burst out with a strong light, directly hitting these corroded soul beasts.

These soul beasts corrupted by the power of darkness were stronger than any enemy they had encountered before. Their speed and strength far exceeded that of ordinary soul beasts, and they were almost not afraid of any attack. Qin Feng, Ye Li and Ling Tian had to deal with them with all their strength, and every attack required the concentration of all their spiritual power.

"These soul beasts have no reason at all, they are completely controlled by darkness!" Ye Li said after a fierce battle. Her frost fox tried its best to release cold air, trying to slow down the offensive of these soul beasts.

Qin Feng felt that the situation was not good. He realized that if they continued like this, their spiritual power would be exhausted sooner or later. So he decided to change his strategy and focus on attacking the core areas of those soul beasts, hoping to defeat their defenses in one fell swoop.

"We must find their weaknesses, otherwise we will be dragged into endless battles." Qin Feng analyzed calmly. His Dragon Shadow Sword emitted a dazzling lightning light in his hand and then hit the core part of a soul beast directly.

Under the powerful lightning attack, the soul beast's core was instantly defeated, and its entire body disintegrated in the light. This attack won Qin Feng and his men precious breathing time.

"Their core is their weakness, we must concentrate our attack!" Ling Tian reminded loudly. His fire power formed a fire barrier on the battlefield, temporarily curbing the offensive of other soul beasts.

With the joint attack of Qin Feng, Ye Li and Ling Tian, ​​they finally succeeded in defeating these soul beasts that were corroded by darkness. However, this battle consumed a lot of their spiritual power, and everyone seemed extremely tired.

"We have to leave here quickly. The dark power here is too strong and we can't stay here for long." Ye Li said while panting. Her Frost Fox also looked unusually weak.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement: "That's right, we must find the source of this dark power and completely eliminate it."

After a brief adjustment, the three continued to move forward into the depths of the Dark Valley. They knew that even though they had just experienced a difficult battle, greater challenges were still waiting for them ahead.

As they went deeper, the dark power around them became stronger and stronger, as if some huge force was calling them. They finally came to the core area of ​​the Dark Valley, where stood a huge dark altar with ancient runes carved on it, as if it was used to seal some powerful existence.

"This is the source of the dark power, we must destroy it." Qin Feng said calmly. He felt an extremely evil power surging in the altar.

However, just as they were about to approach the altar, a huge dark force suddenly erupted from the altar, and the entire Nether Valley was instantly shrouded in thick darkness. In the darkness, Qin Feng and the others saw a huge and blurry figure, which exuded an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if the whole world was under his control.

"This is the source of darkness, it is the true master of the abyss!" Ye Li exclaimed, she felt an unprecedented threat.

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword, knowing that this would be a decisive battle. No matter what the outcome, they must go all out to destroy this evil existence and protect the peace of the soul master world.

The battle broke out instantly, and the master of the dark power let out a low roar and then launched a fierce attack. Qin Feng, Ye Li and Ling Tian attacked from different directions, and their spiritual power formed a powerful barrier on the battlefield, trying to contain the spread of the dark power.

However, the master of the dark power was obviously stronger than any enemy they had encountered before. Every attack of it was carried with destructive force, as if it was going to completely destroy the entire Hades Valley.

"We can't retreat, we must find its weakness!" Qin Feng shouted during the battle, his Dragon Shadow Sword bursting out with strong lightning light in his hand, striking directly at the core of the dark power.

Despite their best efforts, the dark forces' defenses were extremely strong. Every attack seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, as if even the spiritual power itself could not penetrate it.

Just when they were in trouble, Qin Feng suddenly felt the dragon soul power in the Dragon Shadow Sword awaken again. This power seemed to respond to the darkness in the abyss, with some kind of ancient majesty and endless power.

"The power of the dragon soul...it is calling me!" Qin Feng's heart was shocked. He knew that this would be their last chance.

Under the guidance of the Dragon Shadow Sword, Qin Feng concentrated all his spiritual power and launched an unprecedented powerful attack. This attack not only carried the power of thunder, but also contained the power of the dragon soul, as if even darkness itself could not resist it.

The sword light struck the core of the dark power like a thunderbolt, and the powerful impact instantly broke the barrier. The master of the dark power let out a shrill roar, and his entire body gradually disintegrated in the light.

"We succeeded!" Ling Tian shouted excitedly, his flame spiritual power burning on the battlefield as if celebrating the victory.

As the dark power dissipated, the dark atmosphere of the Nether Valley gradually receded, and the entire space returned to peace. Qin Feng, Ye Li and Ling Tian finally succeeded in destroying the final source of the dark power and ended this difficult battle.

After confirming that the dark forces had completely disappeared, Qin Feng and his companions decided to return to the Soul Master Academy. They knew that this victory was hard-won, but they had successfully protected the peace of the Soul Master world.

"We have finally completed the mission, but this is just the beginning. The road ahead is still full of challenges." Qin Feng said to his companions on the way back, his eyes revealing a firm belief.

Ye Li and Ling Tian also felt the same way. They knew that although this battle was over, their journey was not over yet. They had to continue to improve themselves and prepare for future challenges.

At this moment full of hope and challenges, Qin Feng, Ye Li and Ling Tian felt their inner growth and awakening of strength. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would go on firmly to protect the peace and tranquility of the soul master world.
