963: The Eternal Night!

Icy killing intent tightened around his heart like poisonous vines.

Forget about the Cauldron, forget about capturing him alive—he threw it all to the back of his mind!

The auras of those old monsters from the Yin Yang Sect were surging wildly through the crack!

Once they descended, not only would he fail to kill Yao Delong today, but he might even have to pay a heavy price himself!

He absolutely could not let this boy live past the next instant!

"Hmph!" An oppressed groan escaped Ming Qianye's lips, and without any warning,

He sprayed out a mouthful of "Natal Essence Blood," thick as ink and shimmering with dark gold demonic runes, drenching the eternal night bell floating beside him!

“Buzz—! Chila!”

That black bell, which purely devoured light, seemed to be injected with boundless demonic life, instantly erupting with a dark radiance that could swallow heaven and earth!

The bell's body expanded frantically, twisting and blurring, transforming in the blink of an eye into a massive illusory image that connected heaven and earth,

Enveloping the entire Blood Sea City battlefield, along with the entrance to the newly opened Void Realm crack!

The Third Layer: Eternal Night!

This was not an attack, but a Domain! It was Ming Qianye's life-risking, trump card forbidden Divine Ability!

During the great war between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path years ago, it was with this technique that he had trapped two arrogant,

Late Stage Body Integration Righteous Path leaders within this "Eternal Long Night," eventually grinding away their very "existence," shocking the world in a single battle!

Yao Delong only felt his vision go black! It wasn't visual darkness, but a deprivation of the senses!

It was as if he had been instantly cast into an absolute void where even "nothingness" did not exist!

The clear glow of the taixu primordial spirit crown was compressed and dimmed by an invisible force!

The spatial fluctuations of the taiyu flowing light wings were like being trapped in solidified amber, sluggish and difficult to move!

“Escape!” Warning bells rang frantically in Yao Delong's heart!

The Yin Yang Five Elements protective immortal light was completely useless against this bizarre Domain involving time, Karma, and the level of Law!

He grabbed the shoulder of Mo Wentian, who had long since lost his composure, and every feather on the flowing light wings behind him erupted with a piercing silver light!

“Chrono Light Step—break for me!”

Buzz!

Space was violently torn apart like a fragile mirror!

Yao Delong burned a massive amount of Yin Yang Origin, forcibly creating a terrifying "time flow differential" within a hundred feet of his body!

While one breath passed in the outside world, he had already traversed a hundred breaths within the folds of time!

His speed was so fast it surpassed the concept of spatial shifting, nearing "time stasis"!

However—

“Futile!” Ming Qianye's cold voice seemed to echo from every corner of the void.

To his horror, Yao Delong discovered that no matter how he tore through space or twisted time,

Before his eyes was still that boundless, despair-inducing pitch blackness!

The spatial Divine Ability of the taiyu flowing light wings, which claimed to be able to traverse all heavens, was before this Domain of "Eternal Long Night,"

Like hitting an infinite soft wall, unable to move an inch!

Cold sweat instantly soaked Yao Delong's back! This Domain... could actually imprison time and space?!

“It's over... it's over...” Mo Wentian's eyes were hollow as he muttered to himself, his body slumped.

The moment he saw the phantom of the eternal night bell completely envelop heaven and earth, the Dao Heart of this Nine Nether Sect Grand Elder had already shattered.

It was a fear originating from the depths of his Soul, the ultimate despair of "existence being erased"!

“Buzz!” “Zila!”

Without any warning! Black tentacles condensed purely from "nothingness,"

Like demonic claws reaching out from the abyss, they silently stabbed from all directions!

Each attack contained a terrifying power that surpassed the ordinary Late Stage of Body Integration!

Carrying an "obliterating" force that extinguished all life!

“Block!” Yao Delong's eyes nearly split as he roared out!

The taixu primordial spirit crown above his head radiated immortal light, and a shield of circulating Five Elements instantly expanded!

The taiyu flowing light wings behind him vibrated frantically, and countless tiny spatial folds formed layers of buffer barriers outside the shield!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black tentacles, dense as rain, slammed hard against the double defense!

The Five Elements immortal light rippled violently, and the spatial barriers were torn apart time and again, only to be instantly repaired!

Every impact was like a heavy hammer smashing against Yao Delong's Divine Soul!

The Yin Yang Origin within his body poured out frantically like a floodgate being opened!

What was even more fatal was that within this Domain of "Eternal Long Night," he could not sense any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, let alone the power of Law!

Consumption... only consumption! He couldn't get even the slightest bit of replenishment!

“Kid! Hold on! Just a little longer!”

The voice of the taixu primordial spirit crown's artifact spirit carried an urgent hiss,

“He is burning his dao foundation to force this Domain! As long as you can withstand his attacks and drag it out, the first to collapse will definitely be him!”

Drag it out? Easier said than done!

Piercing gold-red blood overflowed from the corners of Yao Delong's mouth, and every defense caused his aura to weaken by a fraction.

That "obliterating" force from all directions was pervasive, as if it wanted to grind away his flesh, Divine Soul, and the traces of his existence bit by bit!

He felt as if he were pushing through a torrential flood in endless darkness; every step was incredibly difficult!

Outside the Domain.

Ming Qianye floated above the phantom of the eternal night bell, his face even paler than before, even carrying a hint of abnormal grayness.

Forcibly activating the third forbidden technique of the eternal night bell was also a massive burden for him.

He looked at those two points of faint light struggling in the endless darkness, and a cold, cruel smile appeared on his face.

“Yao Delong... so what if you are a heaven-sent talent? So what if you possess great Luck?”

“In this Eternal Long Night, all your glory... shall return to nothingness!”

“Becoming the first stepping stone for the Heavenly Demon Sect to set foot on the Eastern Region continent!”

His voice was low, carrying a hint of determined madness,

“A short while? No... within ten breaths, I will ensure your Soul Flies Away and Spirit Scatters! Never to be reincarnated!”

The demonic light in his eyes intensified, as he prepared to completely detonate the obliterating force within the Domain!

“Cha—!!!”

A sword light a billion times more brilliant than the sun!

From that heaven-reaching Void Realm crack, which was shrouded by the Eternal Night Domain and should have been isolated from everything, it stabbed out boldly!

That sword light! Its color was indescribable! Its trajectory, unmappable!

The moment it appeared, it was as if "nothingness" itself was forcibly defined, given the concept of "sharpness"!

The "Eternal Long Night" Domain formed by the eternal night bell, which was enough to trap and kill those of the same rank, was actually like a hot knife through butter before this sword light,

Forcibly tearing open a massive, bright gap burning with spatial lightning and fire!

A figure stepped out along that forcibly split sword light passage!

His stature was not tall, even somewhat thin, wearing a set of faded gray Daoist robes.

But as he stood there, his spine was as straight as a rod, as if he himself were a peerless divine sword piercing the sky!

His hair and beard were flared out like silver needles standing on end!

Most heart-stopping were his eyes—between their opening and closing, it seemed as if countless tiny sword glows were being born and extinguished!

With just a sweep of his gaze, countless fine pitch-black cracks silently opened in the void!

There was no outward pressure! But that invisible, Soul-severing peerless edge caused Ming Qianye's pupils to suddenly shrink to the size of pinpricks!

Unprecedented shock and wariness instantly seized the mind of this peerless old demon!

“Ming! Qian! Ye!”

The newcomer's voice was not loud, yet it was like a billion divine swords vibrating simultaneously!

Every syllable carried a cold killing intent that slashed through the void, clearly echoing in the depths of every survivor's Soul!

“What audacity! How dare you bully the young as an elder, and touch the Dao Child of my Yin Yang Sect?!”
