Right, it was after locking eyes with this statue that he began to feel this strange sensation. Could it be because of this statue?
As Yefan pondered, his expression subtly changed.
These dead otherworldly beings... could it be that they were sacrifices for this statue?
This isn't just an ordinary statue.
In that brief moment, he had entered some kind of illusion, and the ability to do that was clearly something that only divine power could achieve.
An Evil God.
This statue was very likely a representation of an Evil God!
At this realization, Yefan's expression turned grim.
He must avoid making eye contact for now.
Yefan's gaze shifted to the ground around him. Looking closely, he noticed several wooden boxes scattered on both sides of the floor.
These wooden boxes varied in size, and they looked strange.
Yefan crouched down, picking up one of the boxes, and opened it instantly.
"Weapons."
This particular box was long, and when opened, it revealed a long sword.
As Yefan lifted the sword, he immediately felt its heavy weight.
What kind of sword is this?
He swung the sword a few times and noticed that it was indeed quite heavy. Moreover, its sharpness was extraordinary.
"Could it be that all of these boxes contain weapons?"
Yefan was taken aback.
With a thought, he released his immense power, causing all of the wooden boxes around him to float into the air.
Click, click, click—
The boxes opened instantly, revealing an array of weapons inside!
Stored in these black wooden boxes, the weapons seemed to have been preserved with a special anti-corrosion effect.
They still looked brand new.
"It's probably due to the properties of these wooden boxes," Yefan murmured to himself.
"These are valuable treasures, but I can't carry too many of them."
He sighed in frustration.
There were just too many wooden boxes, piled everywhere around the statue.
"Are these seeds?"
In one corner, Yefan spotted what appeared to be seeds.
But these seeds were different from ordinary ones, as they were much larger and emitted a strange energy.
"What exactly are these?"
Yefan picked one up and examined it closely, his curiosity piqued.
"Never mind, I can't take them with me now anyway."
Shaking his head, Yefan's eyes were drawn to a faint golden light coming from a certain spot.
Hmm?
Looking more closely, Yefan noticed that there was a square-shaped object hanging from the neck of the Evil God statue.
This object was covered in strange, intricate markings and was faintly glowing with a golden light.
He hadn't noticed it earlier.
Now that he saw it, his curiosity grew.
This object even emitted faint energy waves, and there was something peculiar about them.
After thinking for a moment, Yefan raised his Yefan Sword and swung it horizontally.
Whoosh—
In that instant, a slash of sword energy severed the cord holding the square object.
With a thought, Yefan summoned his power, causing the object to fly directly into his hand.
Got it.
As soon as he held the object, Yefan felt an intense chill.
It was so cold that it felt like it might freeze his palm solid!
"What is this thing?" Yefan wondered, deeply intrigued.
But suddenly, Yefan sensed a malevolent force watching him.
His eyes widened.
Looking up, he saw the Evil God statue… staring at him!
Its head had begun to transform from stone to something real!
Not just the head, but its entire body was slowly changing from a statue into a living being!
The moment Yefan locked eyes with it again, his surroundings began to spin, as if he was being dragged into another illusion!
However, this time Yefan was prepared.
With his mind highly focused, the dizzying vision quickly disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
The Evil God's massive fist was already hurtling toward Yefan!
Boom—
Yefan's expression changed. He quickly swung his sword, meeting the fist head-on!
Clang—
The impact of the sword against the fist created a deafening sound.
Yefan's body was knocked backward from the force of the blow, but as his own immense power surged within him, he quickly stabilized and slowly descended to the ground.
"I didn't expect it to be alive."
"However, this doesn't feel like the power of an Evil God…"
"It's only at the demigod level."
Sensing something, Yefan smirked coldly.
A demigod-level opponent was nothing to him!
Crack, crack—
Suddenly, a series of sharp cracking noises echoed around him.
What's that sound!?
Yefan frowned, scanning his surroundings.
The skeletons of the otherworldly beings that had been scattered across the floor were now beginning to rise!
The temple was filled with countless otherworldly skeletons, and all of them were now standing up, creating an eerie and terrifying sight.
Clack, clack, clack—
The skeletal figures all moved toward Yefan!
Without hesitation, Yefan slashed with his Yefan Sword.
Ten Thousand Swords Shattering the Void!
With a single slash, countless sword energies surged forward, crashing into the approaching skeletons.
One by one, the skeletons were cleaved in half!
But even as they were cut down, the skeletal remains began to reassemble themselves, slowly converging into an even larger skeleton.
This giant skeletal figure wielded a massive bone sword, and it swung the sword at Yefan with terrifying force!
Yefan's pupils contracted as he swiftly dodged the attack.
Boom—
The bone sword struck the ground, shaking the entire temple.
Meanwhile, the Evil God in the background extended both hands.
Dark blue flames began to gather in its palms as its sinister eyes remained fixed on Yefan, radiating a hypnotic power.
But Yefan, with his mental defenses at full strength, was unaffected!
Slash!
With a swift motion, Yefan slashed the giant skeleton with his Yefan Sword.
