Dalun Li nodded to Zeno and did not linger before the monsters, lest he leave the creatures of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment with psychological issues.
Walking to the edge of the massive pit where the core was located, he leaped lightly.
His body plunged into the hole, falling steadily.
Zeno maintained her respectful posture, patiently awaiting her Master's victory.
Meanwhile, the man-bodied spider leader had already curled into a ball.
An incomprehensible sense of extreme terror and pressure had even made her forget to breathe.
That being had not spared her a single glance from beginning to end.
Yet she felt this was only natural, even pulling in her spider legs and huddling up, terrified that the great existence might notice her insignificance.
...
He continued to fall.
The obstructing rocks were instantly pulverized into dust, and the passage was torn apart by an invisible force.
Until he crashed into the depths, the impact making his knees bend slightly before he straightened his body again.
Wellmouth Greatsword, equipped.
Greenwood Gloves, equipped.
Leaf-Rolling Belt, equipped.
Candelabra, equipped.
...
After ensuring that the entire series of magical equipment was fully equipped, Dalun Li finally proceeded into the core with caution.
Within the massive underground cavern, Dalun Li held the Wellmouth Greatsword, warily observing the world before him.
It was pitch black here, but it could not obscure his vision in the slightest.
After all, he possessed the palace formed from the power of the evil god Dark Starry Sky as his support.
The darkness could no longer hinder him at all.
He looked at the surroundings and the vaulted ceiling, only to find them incredibly distant; aside from the irregular, pitted rocks, the environment did not feel like it was underground at all.
"There is spatial power here."
As the boss of a spatial floor, having spatial power did not surprise Dalun Li in the least.
He had long been prepared.
The darkness in front of him began to churn, and within the intangible air, a crisp clashing sound echoed.
Then, a claw reached out from the air, its sharp talons digging deep into the ground.
A massive body squeezed out from the void.
The upper body was female, while the lower body was a beast-like form resembling both a horse and a wolf.
Four eyes grew upon her face, yet her features were exceptionally harmonious, exuding a sense of beauty.
At the same time, her body radiated a lingering aura of death, devoid of any vitality or sanity, like a corpse still driven to fight by some power after death.
On her exposed upper body, purple markings spread toward her cheeks and arms.
Her arms were covered in white fur, and her hands possessed sharp claws, each gripping a section of a broken silver spear.
Her form was ten meters long and five meters high.

[Description] The guardian of the Atmospheric Rift dungeon; even in death, her body follows instinct to protect the remains of the Atmospheric Rift. A master of space with absolute spatial power, she is a swift and lethal loyal warrior.
Atmosphere Atmospheric Rift · Qingya.
The name of this dungeon remnant was the Atmospheric Rift.
He had never heard of such a dungeon existing from the mouths of adventurers.
Dalun Li quickly understood the guardian before him through the detected information.
Guardian Qingya had already launched her attack first.
The opponent arrived in front of Dalun Li in an instant, the spear in her hand thrusting toward him without mercy.
There was no expression on her face; according to the description, she was now merely a corpse with nothing left but combat instincts, possessing no independent will.
Therefore, she felt no pain, no fear, and no emotion.
All that remained was a powerful protective instinct.
Dalun Li swung the Wellmouth Greatsword to meet Qingya's thrusting spear.
The Wellmouth Greatsword possessed an absolute hit effect, which gave it the ability to counter spatial powers.
Sparks flew, and Dalun Li quickly unleashed purple toxic Sword Qi, slashing toward Qingya.
However, Qingya's body vanished in an instant, teleporting behind Dalun Li as the spears in both hands stabbed down simultaneously.
Teleportation.
True teleportation, not spatial movement relying on Spatial Silk as a medium like the spatial magic spiders!
Dalun Li's reaction was extremely fast; thick woody vines quickly burst through the ground to block his rear.
However, the spear in Qingya's hand seemed to lose its physical form as it left her hand, passing directly through the defensive vines to strike at Dalun Li.
Can this weapon phase through matter?
Dalun Li relied on his extreme speed to grip the greatsword and turn to slash at the silver spear.
The Wellmouth Greatsword's absolute hit effect broke through the silver spear's phasing state.
Dalun Li took the opportunity to activate his ability, and countless vines swarmed out, coiling toward Qingya in the air.
Qingya activated teleportation again and vanished.
Dalun Li did not panic and continued to control the growth of the vines.
Countless vines grew frantically, transforming the entire combat space into an ocean of plants.
Qingya quickly swung her arms, and the two spear sections were automatically summoned back to her hands.
Space was folded in an instant, and the growing vines were all folded and transferred into a spatial pocket.
Then, Qingya's four hooves stepped lightly into the air, her figure standing intangibly in the void.
The earth beneath Dalun Li's feet rapidly disappeared, and everything around, above, and below was turned into a void.
The plants now had nothing to grow upon!
At this moment, Qingya threw the silver spear in her hand again from a distance, aiming for Dalun Li.
Absolute terrain advantage!
If they were in an open area outside, it would be impossible to use spatial abilities to achieve such an effect.
However, in an enclosed underground space, the effects of spatial abilities were magnified several times over.
Dalun Li quickly activated his flight skill, floating in the air.
At the same time, he brandished the greatsword, continuing to intercept the incoming silver spear.
Qingya continued to rely on teleportation for sneak attacks, but as Dalun Li floated in the air, he could block all the attacks just by swinging the greatsword.
His vision could detect any sneak attack within a 360-degree range and a ten-kilometer radius!
Sneak attacks via spatial movement were completely useless!
Dalun Li seized an opportunity, and at the moment Qingya teleported, he swung the greatsword in a powerful slash!
Qingya wanted to activate teleportation again, but under the absolute hit effect of the Wellmouth Greatsword, this teleportation was forcibly locked down.
Slash!
The unstoppable greatsword swung down heavily, with fire and toxic gas coiling around the blade.
Boom!
With a loud crash, Qingya quickly activated an invisible spatial barrier to block the heavy sword.
However, the spatial barrier could not even provide a moment of resistance before being directly shattered.
The heavy sword slashed into Qingya's body with irresistible force, quickly severing one of her arms.
Qingya activated teleportation once more, but Dalun Li's stance was already wide open.
The greatsword swung down repeatedly like a violent storm.
Flames raged in all directions like a devastating tornado following the successive slashes of the greatsword.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
The air was filled with the sound of spatial barriers shattering.
Qingya activated Spatial Lock, attempting to imprison Dalun Li's body.
However, flames erupted from Dalun Li's entire body, and a power like a volcanic explosion instantly broke through the spatial lockdown.
Unable to provide even a second of delay, the greatsword swung down once more.
