The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 1637: Dark Vortex

"Don’t get too excited yet, everyone. Take a look at where we are."

Ye Chenfeng’s voice brought everyone back to reality.

All eyes turned forward involuntarily, and in the next moment, everyone was stunned.

Because it was pitch black in front of them, and nothing could be seen.

They plunged directly into an endless darkness, as if in the darkest of places.

Earlier, everyone was immersed in joy and didn’t notice, but now seeing it, they were truly shocked.

In such an enclosed space, the darkness was normal.

However, Ye Chenfeng and his group could sense that this place was unusual, with an inexplicable eeriness in the darkness.

"Turn on the lights!"

Ye Chenfeng equipped everyone with the ghost special forces gear to handle various unknown dangers.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The lights were adjustable, and Ye Chenfeng and the others used powerful lighting.

Immediately, four beams of light cast out, stretching dozens of meters ahead.

Illuminating the passage ahead as bright as day!

"Something’s wrong!"

But then, everyone noticed the light was rapidly retracting back, as if the darkness was closing in infinitely, directly swallowing the light.

They hadn’t even clearly observed the terrain ahead before the light strangely shrank back.

Clearly, it was a powerful light capable of reaching two to three hundred meters.

But upon arriving here, it was as if the machine was out of power, the light flickered like a dying candle in the wind, seeming ready to extinguish at any moment.

The powerful light only illuminated their feet, and was gradually weakening.

"I understand now, it must be the material of the walls, floor, and ceiling. They can absorb and devour light. Light is completely useless here."

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes flashed, and he couldn’t help but say.

"Snap!"

Sikong Zhairiyue, unwilling to accept it, turned off and then on a specially made flashlight.

But this time it was completely different, the light hadn’t even cast out before it retracted, becoming extremely weak.

Ye Tiannan added, observing the situation, "Moreover, after the light’s exposure, these materials have become active. Now, any light will be directly devoured."

Ye Chenfeng sighed helplessly, "No wonder this is the most mysterious place of the Imperial Family; so much effort went into this."

The others felt the same, the Divine Emperor Temple was indeed terrifying.

But the more terrifying it was, the more important the things hidden within.

Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brow, silently thinking about Prince Takehito’s files being stored in the Divine Emperor Temple.

It now seemed that Prince Takehito was of significant importance or carried an extremely important secret.

A secret crucial to the entire Imperial Family!

"What should we do now?"

Sikong Zhairiyue asked softly, his eyes cautiously scanning the surroundings.

"Feel our way forward using our senses!"

Ye Chenfeng smiled faintly, but there was a hint of seriousness in his expression.

"Although the light was quickly devoured earlier, I still saw a bit. The passage ahead is a spiral staircase."

Ye Chenfeng smiled and said.

"Then we need to be even more careful."

Ye Tiannan said with a serious expression.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "I’ll lead the way in the front, Xiao Ye and Sikong Zhairiyue in the middle, Near-God Heaven’s Officials at the back!"

"Rip!"

Ye Chenfeng immediately tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and covered his eyes with it.

After arranging everything, Ye Chenfeng carried the Anan Sword and led the way in front.

Ye Chenfeng and his group moved slowly, as if every step brought them closer to an abyss.

They were treading on thin ice, but soon reached the spiral staircase.

"Bang!"

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes shot two beams of electricity, and his right foot stepped heavily on the staircase.

A very forceful step, Ye Chenfeng was trying to trigger any mechanisms.

His whole body was on alert, his vigilance at its highest.

"Phew!"

To Ye Chenfeng’s relief, the steps did not trigger any mechanisms.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

Ye Chenfeng continued to step on several steps one after another, but there were no mechanisms.

"Alright!"

Ye Chenfeng whispered.

Ye Tiannan and the others followed up, and after reuniting with Ye Chenfeng, they continued forward.

As time went by, the higher they climbed,

the more their inner fears deepened.

Walking on the spiral stairs, they all had the feeling that they were above an abyss, and the only way to a safe place was this spiral staircase. The spiral staircase stood alone above the abyss, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.

Indeed, that was the case; the spiral staircase spiraled in mid-air, and below was a bottomless black abyss.

Like a black hole, ready to devour Ye Chenfeng and his group.

"Something’s not right, I feel like we’re halfway there. Why hasn’t the danger we anticipated occurred?"

Ye Chenfeng questioned in puzzlement.

Ye Tiannan concurred, "That’s right, this area is definitely dangerous. I can feel several pairs of eyes watching us."

"Phew!"

"This is too tense!"

While Ye Chenfeng and the others remained as calm as ever, Sikong Zhairiyue was different.

He was under immense pressure, nearly at the point of collapse, panting heavily.

Ye Chenfeng reminded them, "Everyone be careful, I feel they’re about to make a move."

"Understood!"

Just as Ye Chenfeng finished speaking, there was a fluctuation in the air behind him.

Sikong Zhairiyue, behind Ye Chenfeng, clearly saw a dark vortex form behind Ye Chenfeng, which immediately transformed into a humanoid shape.

"Eld..."

Sikong Zhairiyue wanted to warn him, but it was as if his throat was being choked, and the words wouldn’t come out.

The dark vortex transformed into a humanoid figure, suddenly holding a Tachi, swinging it towards Ye Chenfeng’s head like lightning.

"Clang!"

A series of sparks shot out like fire, the sharp sound of metal clashing almost shattered their eardrums.

"Swish!"

After a failed strike, the humanoid figure transformed back into a vortex and vanished without a trace.

The area returned to silence!

"Boss, how did you dodge that?"

Sikong Zhairiyue asked incredulously; he could clearly see the dark vortex about to kill Ye Chenfeng...

Ye Chenfeng shook his head with a smile, "Honestly, I don’t know myself, it’s just an instinctive feeling of danger approaching."

At the critical moment, Ye Chenfeng had swung his Anan Sword to fend off the fatal blow.

"That was truly terrifying just now."

Sikong Zhairiyue broke into a cold sweat, his eyes wide with fear.

"The speed of that attack was just too fast, even I didn’t react."

Ye Tiannan sighed, his voice still tinged with unease.
