Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 639: Exploring the Clouds: Clues Gradually Emerge

The dark clouds rolled in, like ink splashing across the sky.

Xiao Bei led several trusted followers and rushed into the darkness without hesitation.

As soon as you enter, the light is swallowed up completely, you can't see your hand in front of you, and only the biting cold invades your skin, as if you have fallen into an ice cave.

Fear, like the thick darkness, spread rapidly.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and suppressed his fear.

He concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, mobilizing his immortal power. A ball of light golden light rose from his palm, dispelling the small area of ​​darkness around him.

This little light, like a beacon in the darkness, gave everyone a little comfort.

"Follow me closely." Xiao Bei said in a deep voice, his tone firm, as if it could dispel all fear.

Xuan Feng, who was following behind Xiao Bei, walked a little hurriedly because of nervousness.

Suddenly, there was a crisp "crack" sound under his feet, and a powerful force burst out instantly. Several black blades shot out from the ground and pierced everyone.

"Be careful!" Xiao Bei was quick-eyed and quick-handed. A golden light flashed in his hand, and a barrier was formed instantly, blocking the incoming attack.

Lingxuzi also reacted quickly, waving his whisk to smash the remaining sharp blades.

"I'm sorry..." Xuanfeng's voice trembled. He didn't expect that he would accidentally step into the trap, and his heart was full of self-blame.

"It's okay. There are dangers everywhere in these dark clouds. Just be careful." Xiao Bei patted Xuan Feng's shoulder to comfort him.

He knew that in this environment, anyone could make a mistake.

The appearance of the trap exacerbated everyone's anxiety.

In the darkness, countless unknown dangers seem to be hidden, and the oppressive atmosphere makes it almost hard to breathe.

The golden light in Xiao Bei's hand became their only support.

He stared ahead.

"Continue to go."

At this moment, a deep laugh came from the darkness...

A deep laugh echoed in the darkness, as if a demon from hell was mocking their arrogance.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding darkness began to distort, transforming into all kinds of terrifying scenes.

Ferocious faces, roaring beasts, rotting corpses...

All kinds of illusions impact everyone's visual and psychological defenses.

Xuan Feng's face was pale, he clutched Xiao Bei's sleeve tightly, and his body trembled slightly.

Before the laughter died down, countless black phantoms rushed out from the darkness, floating like ghosts at an astonishing speed.

They waved their sharp claws and pounced on Xiao Bei and others with shrill screams.

Xiao Bei's eyes and hands were quick, and the golden light in his hands suddenly surged, transforming into golden sword energy, which shattered the attacking phantom.

However, these phantoms seemed endless. After being chopped into pieces, they quickly reassembled and continued to attack.

Lingxuzi waved his whisk, and white fairy energy flew through like a dragon, dispersing some phantoms.

But there were too many phantoms, and their attacks became more and more fierce, and everyone gradually felt exhausted.

Xuanfeng was hit by a phantom in a moment of carelessness. He groaned, staggered back a few steps, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Xiao Bei felt nervous and quickly protected him behind him.

Seeing his companions injured, Xiao Bei felt heartbroken. He felt tremendous pressure, as if a mountain was pressing on him and making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Xiao Bei, let me lend you a hand!" Lingxuzi shouted and poured all his immortal power into the whisk. The whisk suddenly shone brightly and turned into a huge white beam of light, forcing back the surrounding phantoms.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and a powerful immortal power surged in his body.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, pushed out his palms, and a golden light wave swept out like a raging storm, destroying all the phantoms around him.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the destroyed phantoms began to re-condense as if they had immortal bodies.

Although Xiao Bei's attack was powerful, it could not completely eliminate them. Instead, it aroused their ferocity and made their attacks even more fierce.

The darkness was like a huge whirlpool, ready to swallow them up...

Lingxuzi's face was solemn as he whispered, "These phantoms seem to possess some special power that allows them to constantly regenerate. We must find their source before we can completely eliminate them."

At this moment, Xuan Feng suddenly pointed in a direction and said in a trembling voice: "There...there..."

In the direction of Xuanfeng's finger, there was a "rotating" black mist, which was looming behind the layers of illusions, as if it was the source of all darkness.

He seemed to have discovered something.

"Xuanfeng! Come back!" Xiao Bei shouted, but it was too late.

Xuanfeng's speed was astonishingly fast. He was like a flash of lightning, weaving through the numerous phantoms and heading straight for the black mist.

Seeing this, Lingxuzi couldn't help but exclaimed: "What is he going to do?"

Xuanfeng rushed to the black fog, and a dagger flashing with cold light suddenly appeared in his hand.

The dagger was pitch black, emitting a strange aura, blending in with the surrounding darkness, as if it were the embodiment of darkness.

Without hesitation, he thrust the dagger into the black mist.

"Ah!" A shrill scream resounded through the darkness, and the black mist rolled violently like an enraged beast.

Those originally ferocious phantoms suddenly stopped attacking at this moment, uttered painful howls, and their bodies gradually became transparent, eventually disappearing without a trace.

Xuan Feng's body also shook a bit, his face pale, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he grinned: "As expected..."

Xiao Bei and Lingxuzi rushed to Xuanfeng and supported him.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Bei asked with concern.

"It's okay, just a minor injury." Xuanfeng waved his hand, with a hint of weakness in his smile.

"How... did you know that the black fog was the source of the phantom?" Lingxuzi asked curiously.

Xuan Feng took a deep breath and explained, "I once stumbled upon an ancient book that recorded a sorcery called 'Source of Shadow' that could manipulate phantoms to attack the enemy. And that black mist is the core of the Source of Shadow."

Xiao Bei looked at Xuan Feng, his heart full of admiration.

He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary young man actually possessed such profound knowledge and extraordinary courage.

"Thank you, Xuanfeng." Xiao Bei said sincerely.

"There's no need to thank me between us." Xuan Feng smiled.

After the crisis was resolved, the darkness seemed less terrifying.

The golden light in Xiao Bei's hand was still bright, illuminating the road ahead.

He took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Let's go, let's keep moving forward!"

They continued to grope forward in the darkness, supporting and encouraging each other.

Xiao Bei's fighting spirit became even stronger. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead...

"Wait," Xiao Bei raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, "What is that?" The faint light gradually expanded, like the dawn, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

A magnificent palace appeared before everyone, completely black and exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

In the center of the palace, a tall figure stood with his back to them, surrounded by black mist. It was the Shadow Lord.

"I finally found you!" Xiao Bei's figure was as fast as lightning, and he came in front of the Shadow Lord in an instant. The golden light in his hand condensed into a sharp sword, which carried a fierce sword energy and pierced the Shadow Lord's heart.

The Shadow Lord seemed not to have expected Xiao Bei's speed to be so fast. He hurriedly waved the black staff in his hand to block Xiao Bei's attack.

There was a loud "clang" sound, and the staff and the sword collided, bursting into dazzling sparks.

The Shadow Lord was knocked back several steps, a look of surprise on his face.

"Let's attack together!" Xiao Bei shouted, and Lingxuzi, Xuanfeng and others also took action, using all kinds of spells and magic weapons to attack the Shadow Lord.

Although the Shadow Lord was powerful, he was outnumbered and gradually could not hold out and was defeated.

Seeing the Shadow Lord being suppressed, everyone was excited and victory seemed to be just around the corner.

However, at this moment, the Shadow Lord suddenly sneered: "Foolish mortals, do you think you can defeat me like this?"

He suddenly raised the staff in his hand, muttering something, and a strange black energy surged out from the staff and spread rapidly.

The surrounding environment began to distort and deform, huge cracks appeared on the ground, magma gushed out, and the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

"Oh no, this is forbidden magic!" Lingxuzi's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.

Under the influence of forbidden magic, Xiao Bei and others felt their bodies were extremely heavy, as if they were bound by an invisible force, and their movements became slow.

The power of their spells was also greatly weakened, and their attacks on the Shadow Lord were like tickling, with no effect at all.

Xiao Bei gritted his teeth and persevered, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his forehead.

He knew that he had to break this situation, otherwise they would all die here.

He endured the severe pain in his body, mobilized all his spiritual power, and prepared to launch the final attack.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful suction coming from the Shadow Lord's hand. His vision went dark, and his body flew uncontrollably towards the Shadow Lord...

"Xiao Bei!" Lingxuzi and Xuanfeng exclaimed, but they were powerless to do anything.

"It's over..." The Shadow Lord's sinister voice sounded in Xiao Bei's ears, with a hint of mockery.
