720: Dark Source

As he drew closer to the Source of Darkness, the overwhelming dark aura surged toward Su Chen's face. The Great Dao of Time circulated around his body, completely isolating all of the dark aura.

Immediately, several terrifyingly powerful auras erupted from within.

These auras were almost entirely filled with evil. Su Chen considered himself well-traveled and had seen many evil things, but compared to what was inside, those were like a drop in the ocean.

The disparity was too great.

This was the first time Su Chen had encountered an evil aura so pure.

However... he surprisingly didn't feel the slightest bit of repulsion; instead, there was even a faint sense of familiarity.

At that moment.

A massive palm reached out from within, lunging toward Su Chen with a sudden grasp. This was definitely power at the Dao Lord level, yet the Source of Darkness contained more than just one such powerhouse.

The riot at the Source of Darkness was even detected by some of the top experts within the Myriad Worlds.

Tongtian, Xiao Yan, Su Hao, and others who had achieved a Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm stood up, their eyes flashing.

In the next instant.

All of them disappeared from the Myriad Worlds at the same time.

A flash of sword light ignited within the Chaos and then rapidly expanded. The extremely powerful Sword Intent carved a path between the Power of Erosion and the Source of Darkness.

A path filled with profound silence.

Su Xiao's figure appeared in front of Su Chen as terrifying power poured out. He looked like a God of War, with a boundless phantom appearing behind him, as if he intended to crush the entire Source of Darkness in his grip.

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching it all from beginning to end.

Following this terrifying aura, the Source of Darkness also began to grow restless. One by one, incredibly powerful forces awakened within, seemingly enraged by Su Xiao's actions.

The current Su Chen was no longer the lone man he once was; he had already gathered a group of Dao Lord powerhouses around him.

Almost everyone in the Myriad Worlds with any level of strength sensed the upheaval beyond their borders. They felt a lingering fear, their faces pale with dread; the aura outside the Myriad Worlds was simply too terrifying.

Over the years, people in the Myriad Worlds had achieved Breakthroughs to the Dao Lord Realm one after another. No matter how foolish they were, they knew something major was happening.

They felt deep unease. As the saying goes, 'when gods fight, Mortals suffer.' If this battle spilled into the Myriad Worlds, they would certainly perish.

With so many Dao Lord level experts fighting, the Myriad Worlds itself would probably be fine, but they definitely wouldn't survive.

After all, the Source of Darkness possessed so many terrifying powerhouses, yet it hadn't invaded the Myriad Worlds all these years. This suggested there must be something in the Myriad Worlds that the Source of Darkness feared.

This was perhaps the Great Dao of Time!

Although they didn't have a deep understanding of the Great Dao of Time, any Cultivator who had reached the ancient god realm had been to the boundaries of the Myriad Worlds. The Power of Time held all the Power of Erosion at bay.

This proved that their Myriad Worlds was still very powerful.

At the very least, the Source of Darkness likely lacked the strength to oppose them, which was why it had never dared to attack.

Outside the Source of Darkness, Su Chen looked ahead with a calm gaze. The terrifying powerhouses around him stood like deities, quietly guarding his side.

Long ago, they had known that Su Chen faced a very powerful enemy. Now that they possessed sufficient strength, it was only natural for them to clear the obstacles for him.

At the very least, they needed to deal with these small fry.

“Come and fight!”

Su Xiao’s face was filled with Battle Intent, his entire body shrouded in golden light as terrifying power spiraled within him. Like a God of War, he roared toward the Source of Darkness, his eyes devoid of fear, containing only Battle Intent pushed to the point of madness.

“Arrogant!”

A furious roar sounded, followed by an explosion of powerful pressure. Three dark hands reached for Su Xiao, each containing incredibly terrifying power.

These were clearly at the Dao Lord Realm, and their foundations were much more profound than Su Xiao's.

How could anyone who reached this Realm be ordinary? There was no longer any such thing as being invincible within the same Realm; even being able to stall one person was considered very impressive.

Taking on two at once was almost impossible.

Auras continued to awaken within the Source of Darkness, their numbers already far exceeding the Dao Lord powerhouses under Su Chen's command. Judging by the count, there were already ten Dao Lord auras from the Source of Darkness.

And more were still reviving.

A look of gravity flashed in Su Chen's eyes. The number of experts in the Source of Darkness was surprisingly high, which was somewhat unexpected.

Furthermore, he discovered a very strange thing.

The Source of Darkness didn't seem to have much intention of attacking; it even gave him the feeling of being determined to die, as if Su Chen's side were the vicious invaders and they were the victims.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, watching silently.

As more and more Dao Lords revived within the Source of Darkness, the pressure grew stronger. Even many of the weaker Cultivators in the Myriad Worlds sensed it and looked toward the boundary with grave expressions.

The Dao Lords from both sides soon clashed, but it was clear that the Dao Lord powerhouses on his side were significantly fewer and were no match for the Source of Darkness at all.

Su Chen just watched quietly. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of the Source of Darkness. Possessing the Power of Time, he could sense a faint Power of Time existing in its core. This meant... there was also a Small World within the Source of Darkness?

Just like the Myriad Worlds.

However, this world was clearly much smaller than the Myriad Worlds, perhaps only one percent of its size.

A look of gravity flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

It seemed the Source of Darkness also hid secrets, and his previous deduction was almost certain: above these small times, there was a greater time.

The great battle continued.

Seeing his subordinates beginning to retreat steadily, and with the number of Dao Lord auras in the Source of Darkness reaching thirteen, Su Chen finally spoke slowly.

“That’s enough!”

“Fall back!”

Hearing this, Su Xiao and the others retreated wordlessly. They knew very well that if they continued fighting, they would definitely be no match...
