The mere influence around him was like a dark undercurrent, or the cold flicker of a snake's tongue, carrying a bone-deep chill that froze the soul, and in an instant, it had tainted the surface of Ji Jingqiu's skin.
Despite the divine light within Ji Jingqiu's physique and the faint glimmers of immortal golden color on his skin, he still felt a touch of coldness.
This force was penetrating his body's defenses, attempting to burrow into his flesh and rot his insides.
Ji Jingqiu was somewhat surprised.
The nature of this power was very high, but most importantly, it gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
Quickly, he recalled where he had encountered a similar power before—
The Black Ring Dead Zone in the Po Suo plane!
He had once harvested dozens of Life Flowers, dealing with this force many times.
