System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

In the dim and cold underground cave, Zhang Hao's every breath seemed to freeze into frost, and the air was filled with the smell of death and decay, making people feel a chill involuntarily.

He stared intently at the phoenix feather that was about to escape from his fingertips, feeling both resentment and a touch of fear.

This phoenix feather, a legendary treasure capable of drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, now seemed to possess self-awareness, attempting to break free from its constraints and return to freedom.

As the flames formed from the special bird's feathers shot into the sky, the entire cave seemed to be ablaze, radiating light yet carrying an ominous premonition.

The firelight was bounced back by an invisible force the moment it touched the cave ceiling. It was the ancient Corpse Cave Restriction, which was like a huge net, firmly locking away all living beings that tried to escape.

Zhang Hao secretly rejoiced, but also realized that this struggle was far more difficult than he had imagined.

The appearance of the blue toad seemed to be a variable in this battle.

This seemingly insignificant little creature actually possesses extraordinary abilities; it was obtained by Zhang Hao from the golden box he acquired after killing the Undying Worm.

As soon as the seven blue toads appeared, they immediately sensed the powerful energy emanating from the phoenix feather. Their bulging eyes gleamed with excitement, as if they couldn't wait to join the competition.

However, Phoenix Feather's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

What was originally just a slight tremor suddenly erupted into a more violent upheaval the moment the blue toad appeared, as if it were resisting something.

At the same time, a series of low roars came from the depths of the corpse cave, as if hundreds of dead souls were shouting at the same time. Then, countless corpses surged out of the darkness like a tide. They were ragged, their faces were distorted, and their eyes were empty and lifeless, but they carried a chilling power.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao unleashed his Palm Thunder without hesitation.

The power of the palm lightning is immense, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Lightning flashed and a deafening roar followed. The corpses at the forefront were instantly blasted to pieces, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

However, this was only the beginning. More and more corpses, as if driven by an invisible force, surged forward one after another, seemingly endless.

Zhang Qilin said in a deep voice:

"These corpses have become one with the corpse cave, becoming part of it."

As long as the Corpse Cave remains intact, these corpses can be resurrected indefinitely.

Moreover, the Corpse Cave needs a large number of living beings as nourishment to grow; the more corpses it devours, the stronger it becomes.

What we are facing now is not just a simple battle, but a life-or-death struggle against time.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao's heart sank.

He knew that destroying this massive cave of corpses in a short period of time was an almost impossible task.

The Corpse Cave is not only integrated with countless corpses, but it has also long since eroded the mountain range, drawing power from it. If its weakness cannot be found and its connection with the mountain range cannot be severed, no matter how powerful or how many methods one has, one cannot kill the Corpse Cave.

Moreover, during the battle, they also had to be constantly wary of the risk of being swallowed by the corpse cave.

For a moment, they all fell silent, and the air was filled with tension and despair.

Just then, the blue toad suddenly made a move.

It seemed to sense the predicament of Zhang Hao and the others, and began to slowly move around the phoenix feather, emitting strange cries.

As it cried out, the originally restless phoenix feathers gradually calmed down, and the powerful energy fluctuations also gradually subsided.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao and the others couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

"Could it really be that the Blue Toad has a solution, just like the rumors say?"

Zhang Hao thought to himself, and then decided to take a gamble.
