Monster essence was quickly replenished. An hour later, Du Feng's body was full of monster essence again. Without any hesitation, he began to convert it to the Power of Divinity. If things continued like this, then it wouldn't be difficult at all for him to reach the peak of the ninth level of the World King realm in the Skymonster Region.
But just as Du Feng was converting his monster essence to the Power of Divinity, a cold wind blew over from the stone forest, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.
What was going on? Hadn't the Great Ancient Monster of the Skymonster Region died hundreds of millions of years ago? Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been any signs of life left. Why did it feel like he was being watched by something just now? Du Feng paused the conversion process and stood up to look around.
The place he found was relatively hidden and no one would come here. Rather than looking for treasures, it was more practical to convert his monster essence. He might as well hide in this stone forest and reach the peak of the ninth level of the World King realm in a single go.
After looking around and not finding anything strange, Du Feng sat down and continued to convert his monster essence to the Power of Divinity. When he was halfway through the transformation, a gust of cold wind blew over. This time, the cold wind was even colder, causing him to jump up from the ground.
"Who!?"
This was too terrifying. Even if Du Feng was brave, he still had to guard against it. This was because that cold wind just now carried with it a decaying aura. It was like the aura of a corpse that had been rotting for tens of thousands of years. No one would be able to withstand it.
But when he jumped up, the chilly wind disappeared again, as if it had never been there.
Du Feng wasn't a careless person. He didn't continue meditating. Instead, he walked around the area and kicked the stone pillars to check if there were any problems. He also touched them with his hands, feeling the material they were made of. It really seemed like something like a meteorite. Too many of them had fallen here to form such a stone forest.
He checked the surrounding 10 miles of the stone forest and confirmed that there weren't any 10,000 year old zombies or any enemies lying in ambush. Only then did he return to his original spot and convert the remaining monster essence. This time, there was no chilly wind blowing over, so Du Feng's transformation was smoother.
Just as he finished the transformation and was about to get up, he turned around and saw something. It was a face, a face that could not be distinguished from a human, an animal, or a zombie. She stopped right next to Du Feng's face and almost sprayed him. Moreover, saliva was still dripping out of its mouth. It was black and red saliva, like oxidized dirty blood.
Puff …
That rotting stench almost made Du Feng vomit. He never thought that such a monster would appear in front of him, and he didn't even notice it.
There were two possibilities that he could not detect. One was that the monster's concealment ability was too strong, and it could completely avoid his detection. The second possibility was that the monster had already merged with the stone forest, which was why no one could detect any abnormalities.
Du Feng held his breath. He didn't move his body or attack. Since the monster didn't move, he couldn't move either. Making use of this opportunity, he observed the monster from a close distance. It looked like an old and frail lion, its skin and muscles were rotten to the point of flowing down. It also looked like an old man kneeling on the ground with his hands on the ground.
After a closer look, he felt that something was wrong. The monster's body seemed to be made out of the same material as the stone pillars in the stone forest. It looked like it was made out of melted meteorites. However, it was in a half-melted state and wasn't as stable as the stone pillars.
Moreover, the rotting stench on its body was completely different from the stone pillars. What in the world was this? Was it an ancient corpse that was billions of years old? Was it the corpse of a big ancient demon that hadn't completely rotted away?
Du Feng considered this question seriously. He knew that the big ancient demons back then were not simple. Even after billions of years of corrosion, their corpses might not have completely rotted away. These corpses absorbed the Yin Qi of the universe and might really have become ancient corpses.
But if it was really the corpse of a big ancient demon, it shouldn't be at this level. One must know that the strength of a big ancient demon was definitely not weaker than any God Emperor. They died because they didn't reproduce. Under the carving of billions of years, they were constantly rotting away. If not for the merciless ravaging of time, no one would be able to kill them.
The reason why the gods were immortal was because the God World was constantly replenished with new life. They could receive the blessing of the God Power. If the God World was like the Sky Demon Region, without reproduction or replenishment of new life, and only relying on the support of those old Primordial Gods, it would only be a matter of time before it fell and rotted away.
Du Feng still didn't move. He was observing the monster. He realized that as long as he didn't move, the monster wouldn't attack. What was even more amazing was that the monster's body was gradually changing. It became thinner and longer, and the rotting stench on its body was also getting lesser.
That's right, the monster was turning into a stone pillar. More accurately, it was turning back into a stone pillar.
Uh … At this point, Du Feng's scalp went numb. He understood one thing. The millions of stone pillars in the stone forest were actually all monsters. He was surrounded by monsters and he was seriously cultivating. Moreover, he was quite addicted to it.
If these stone pillars all turned into monsters in an instant, then he would be torn to pieces in an instant.
Fortunately, only the stone pillar closest to him had changed, and it hadn't completely moved. If it had completely moved, it would have been bitten by Du Feng. It wouldn't have moved so close to him without moving.
In other words, from a petrified state to a mobile state, there was a process of transformation. What was the reason that caused them to turn into monsters?
Du Feng still didn't move. He was deep in thought. There was no point in him leaving now. As long as he didn't activate the stone pillars, he wouldn't turn into monsters. If he didn't turn into monsters, his safety wouldn't be threatened. If he stayed in the stone forest, he wouldn't have to worry about being chased.
Thinking back to the process just now, it seemed that he had first transformed his body into a Demon Cultivator, and then began to absorb the Demon Elemental Energy around him. In the process of absorbing the Demon Elemental Energy, perhaps the stone pillars were gradually melting. It was just that he didn't notice it earlier.
If he wanted to verify this process, he would have to do it again to be sure. But right now, the God Power in Du Feng's body was already full and hadn't been used, so he had to use it first. He simply began to practice the Vast Expanse Sword Technique. As he practiced, he paid attention to the changes in the surrounding stone pillars.
