Qingfeng nodded and walked towards the black rock, as he said, “I don’t care if you’re a creature, or a demonic rock, but get away right now. I’m going to crack this Illusionary array, so don’t blame me for attacking.”
After he spoke, he looked at the black rock quietly, but the black rock refused to move and didn’t care for what Qingfeng said at all.
Qingfeng’s face grew cold, as he said coldly, “Since you won’t move, then don’t blame me for being rude.”
He activated his internal vital essence to release a rush of powerful energy, as he waved his right fist to form a curve. His punch tore through the void and heavily clashed onto the black rock.
Qingfeng’s fist shook the space with incredible force. If it clashed onto the rock, then it could definitely shatter it.
Right before Qingfeng’s fist landed onto the black rock, something shocking happened in the next moment. Two legs suddenly appeared from underneath the black rock.
That’s right, two legs in the shape of a human’s, but they had no skin, blood, muscles, and veins. Instead they were made of stone.
However, the legs dodged backwards like human self-cultivators’ legs and dodged Qingfeng’s fist attack.
Qingfeng stopped and looked at the rock’s two legs with suspicion and asked, “What is this? How could this thing be running?”
The rock said angrily, “You’re a thing, I’m not a thing. I’m rock man.”
An angered voice came from the black rock, followed by Qingfeng and the others’ shocked looks. Two arms grew out from the two sides of the black rock, as a head popped out from above.
This head was the same as a human self-cultivator’s head with a nose, eyes, and a mouth, but it was all made of rocks.
Qingfeng was shocked, as it was the first time he met a talking rock with such a resemblance to humans. If he didn’t see it for himself, then he would suspect that it had trained into a demonic creature.
Qingfeng turned around and asked the Peach Blossom She-Devil beside him, “What is this species? Have you seen it before?”
The Peach Blossom She-Devil nodded and said, “I once saw it in the ancestral texts. This is called rock man, once a powerful general under the Sun Monarch. It had followed the Sun Monarch into countless battles, wiped out countless cities, and helped him conquer the Crimson Fire Continent.”
Qingfeng nodded, no wonder he failed to recognize this rock man. So it was a creature from five thousand years ago and had already disappeared over time.
Qingfeng sighed deep down. No wonder the Sun Monarch ruled the Crimson Fire Continent five thousand years ago. Not only was he very powerful, but his followers were invincible as well. Unfortunately, he lost to the Crimson Fire Monarch in the end.
Qingfeng even had a feeling that this Crimson Fire Monarch must be extremely powerful. Even though the Crimson Fire Monarch was his enemy, he couldn’t underestimate the Monarch’s powers.
When a lion goes after a rabbit, it has to use all its powers. Qingfeng was determined to get more powers, increase his abilities, and acquire more treasures, such that he could eventually kill the Crimson Fire Monarch and rescue Ruyan Liu and Little Apple.
The black rock man looked at Qingfeng and Peach Blossom She-Devil and said, “Since you know who I am, leave here immediately, and don’t step into the Sun Monarch’s Tomb. No one is allowed to disturb him.”
Qingfeng shook his head and said, “Sorry, today I must enter the Sun Monarch’s Tomb, and get the legacy inside. No one can stop me, not even you.”
Cold light flashed in the rock man’s eyes as he said, “Since you are asking for death, then I’ll grant you your wish.”
“Rock Press.” The rock man guided all the big black rocks around as they moved nonstop and crowded around Qingfeng and the others.
Qingfeng looked over and saw hundreds of rocks crash towards them. If they were hit, then they definitely would be deeply wounded.
Qingfeng immediately pulled out the Sky-Breaking Halberd, as he injected his internal vital essence into the Halberd. The halberd drew a curve in the air and charged towards the rocks before them.
With his own energy and the power of the Sky-Breaking Halberd, which was nearly nine million kilos in weight, the big rocks were immediately shattered and turned into countless pieces.
The black rock man’s face changed as he said, “Sky-Breaking Halberd, how is this possible? How did you get such a treasure?”
Clearly the rock man recognized Qingfeng’s Sky-Breaking Halberd and was shocked by it.
Qingfeng lightly smiled and said, “A disgruntled elder gifted this to me. Do you know him? Where does this come from?”
The rock man’s face changed, but he kept his mouth shut and said nothing. Clearly, it was forbidden, such that not even it would dare to say anything.
The rock man turned around to escape, but Qingfeng moved like a whirlwind with great speed, and immediately blocked its way. Then he waved his Sky-Breaking Halberd and charged forward.
The rock man’s face changed as it hurriedly raised its right hand to block. However, its right hand was made of rocks, so it wasn’t able to block the sharp and heavy Sky-Breaking Halberd, as it immediately punched a hole into its palm. There was no blood, just pieces of rocks that dropped onto the floor.
The rock man whimpered in pain and dug into the ground underneath without any hesitation, immediately disappearing underground.
Qingfeng frowned and said, “Ground-digging technique, not bad.”
He used his own clairvoyance to look downwards, but failed to find the rock man, as it had escaped.
The Peach Blossom She-Devil walked to Qingfeng’s side and said, “The rock man didn’t run away by digging into the ground, it just combined itself with the soil. Rock man came from the soil, and with several hundreds of thousands of years of change in the air and soil’s spirituality, it formed into rocks.”
Qingfeng suddenly realized that no wonder he couldn’t find the rock man. So it had blended into the soil?
Suddenly, the Rock Formation disappeared just as the rock man did. Without the rock man’s guidance and support, nothing could trap Qingfeng and the others anymore.
Qingfeng lightly smiled, and didn’t search for the rock man anymore, because his goal was the Sun Monarch Tomb and not some rock man.
Qingfeng then said, “Come, let’s move forward.”
Not long after Qingfeng’s group left, and the rock man reappeared from the place where they once stood.
Then countless soil gathered to form pieces of black rocks in that same spot, as rocks gathered to form the appearance of rock man.
The rock man’s face was grim with cold fury in his eyes, as he looked at Qingfeng’s group’s backs.
