Hell Creatures were everywhere. The sky, stained red as if by fresh blood, mirrored this desolation, and a huge gap on the horizon was barely visible.
Clearly, Chu Feng had once again crossed the border line; his current location could now be considered within the bounds of Hell.
Hell?
With a casual swat, Chu Feng turned a mindless Hell Creature leaping towards him into powder, then clenched his fist as he looked at the distant gap in the sky.
The gap has grown even larger!
The Hellish aura around him had grown so dense it felt as if he were truly in the depths of Hell itself.
The Hell Creatures he had just cleared reappeared in no time, their numbers even greater than before.
Despite their dim wits, they couldn't sense Chu Feng's aura. However, faced with the glaring, completely unobscured figure in the sky, they weren't so blind as to miss it.
The relentless advance of the Hell Creatures caused the corner of Chu Feng's eye to twitch.
These brainless fools are truly numerous. No wonder the missiles in Texas are nearly depleted!
He did not wish to waste time with these countless Hell Creatures.
After casually turning the surrounding grotesque things into powder, he once again transformed into a streak of rainbow light and vanished.
The cursor in his mind, growing ever clearer, confirmed James was located directly ahead.
In the center of a few hills devoid of any vegetation, a desolate and ancient structure stood quietly. Tall stone pillars, eroded by wind and sand beyond recognition, lay haphazardly amid the rubble. In the center of the faintly visible stone plaza stood a partially collapsed stone edifice. Its style bore some resemblance to the temples of certain civilizations.
Chu Feng glanced up at the large, clear gap in the sky, then down at the few hills below, where no trace of Hell Creatures could be found.
That's right, this is the place!
Hell Creatures, which had been scattered all over the landscape during his journey, were conspicuously absent here. Combined with the guidance of the cursor in his mind, Chu Feng's gaze slowly settled on the Temple not far away.
That subtle Strength, seemingly sensing his arrival, was already stirring.
As he slowly descended, the moment his feet touched the stone slabs before the Temple, that covert Strength burst forth. However, it wasn't attacking Chu Feng; instead, it spread out, covering the entire Temple ruins.
The next second, in Chu Feng's eyes, time seemed to reverse rapidly. The collapsing Temple, the damaged stone walls, the sand-worn pillars—everything was rapidly restored. In mere moments, an ancient Temple, as if transported through time from a distant past, abruptly appeared before Chu Feng.
Although not to his aesthetic taste, he had to admit the Temple possessed a certain solemn majesty.
What's this? An invitation to learn about ancient cultural knowledge?
Seeing the black-robed figure standing quietly before the Temple doors, Chu Feng's fingers twitched; he suppressed the urge to act immediately. After all, he still needed to find James and his family.
"Sir, do you feel that you have forgotten anything?"
Gazing at the black-robed figure before him, Chu Feng clicked his tongue and took a few steps closer. "What if I have? What if I haven't?"
"Then do you think that which has been forgotten still has any significance?"
Hearing the black-robed figure's question, a glint flashed in Chu Feng's pupils, and his advance faltered for a moment. "Since something exists, it naturally has its significance! Whether or not it has been forgotten by others is irrelevant!"
Confronted with this answer, the black-robed figure remained silent for a long while before suddenly lifting its head, revealing only a void beneath its hood. "However, I feel that those who are completely forgotten should not exist. That is the correct rule, and it is my rule!"
Seeing the black-robed figure's true form, Chu Feng wasn't surprised at all; after all, the appearance of a Bizarre was always this strange.
"I don't care about your ridiculous rules. Just hand over the people now!" Chu Feng, now close to the black-robed figure, replied, his voice like ice. Simultaneously, his slender fingers shot out like lightning towards the black-robed figure's neck.
"Sir, the people you're looking for are inside!"
The black-robed figure, lifted by the neck by Chu Feng, spoke in a smooth, eerily calm voice. Its voice lacked even the slightest expected inflection.
Seeing the black-robed figure's submissive demeanor, Chu Feng slowly tightened his grip, his voice growing even colder. "I want you to bring them here. Don't tell me... you can't do it!"
Did this Bizarre go dumb from staying in Hell? Or does it think I'm a fool?
The atmosphere abruptly tensed.
The black-robed figure, held aloft by Chu Feng, remained silent for a long time, its expression unreadable within the void of its hood.
Time ticked by. Just as Chu Feng's fingers began to tighten again, a mocking laugh suddenly erupted from within the black robe.
"HA... HAHAHA... HA—GAK..."
The next moment, with a loud BANG, the black-robed figure, moments before laughing, was slammed into the stone floor, creating a sizable crater.
"Cleared your head yet?"
One foot pinned the Bizarre's chest. The collision of True Yuan from Chu Feng's sole and the Strength from the Bizarre's body produced a continuous series of explosive sounds.
"I really didn't expect someone as powerful as you to appear in the Human World!"
"Such strange, powerful Strength, unrelated to Hell or Heaven..."
Although the black-robed Bizarre lacked eyes, Chu Feng distinctly sensed it sizing him up; the colliding energies seemed to have no effect on it.
"HEH HEH... Right, if you want to find those who have been forgotten, then go see for yourself!"
With a sinister chuckle, the Bizarre, firmly pinned underfoot, rapidly turned into a pile of ashes, indistinguishable from other slain Hell Creatures.
Obviously, the Bizarre hadn't chosen suicide, and no system alert appeared in Chu Feng's mind. Moreover, the instant the black-robed Bizarre disappeared, a subtle spatial fluctuation rippled around Chu Feng.
Instantly, the scenery transformed dramatically; the Temple before him vanished without a trace. In its place was a street enveloped in thick fog.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Chu Feng frowned slightly.
This doesn't seem like a mere illusion!
However, the cursor in his mind was much clearer now; it seemed James, whom he sought, was ahead in the mist.
Simultaneously, a black-robed figure—the Bizarre—reappeared at the Temple entrance. The black-robed Bizarre lightly touched its neck and chest, letting out a soft chuckle.
"This human who popped out of nowhere... your aura concealment is truly impressive. I almost couldn't deal with you!"
