Chapter 739 -249: Immortal Confrontation Across Time (Leave plus additional update, two in one, asking for monthly ticket)_6
This feeling plunged Qiuqiu into contemplation.
Darkness, is it nihility?
But this “nihility” was different from the Devouring of Nihility.
It seemed more like a concept similar to vacuum.
Dark is the opposite of light; it is the absence of light.
And what is light?
Qiuqiu’s thoughts began to diverge.
All the basic knowledge Qiuqiu knew was taught by it; naturally, it could do better.
In just a moment, Qiuqiu remembered the nature of light.
It was made of countless particles smaller than molecules and atoms, called photons.
When a beam of light was blocked and could not be cast to somewhere, that place would form a shadow.
Shadow is the dark side.
But that is the darkness under natural conditions, and not the power of dark supernatural forces.
Dark supernatural powers could actively create shadows, even under direct light.
The dark teaching skill, “Black Box”, is a clear proof.
It creates shadows, not by blocking light,
but by devouring photons on the microscopic level.
Dark supernatural powers are a special power that can silently devour photons.
These are the conclusions drawn after countless observations and microscopic experiments on dark supernatural powers by the Blue Star.
The essence of the Black Box is to disperse dark powers in the surrounding space and sustain them for a period of time.
Photons cast along the way are naturally devoured by the dark supernatural forces they encounter, thus forming the dimness and shadows of the entire Black Box covered area.
The series of materials about darkness Qiuqiu had once seen flashed through its mind one by one.
In nature, darkness is not completely devoid of light, it simply lacks visible light.
Besides the light visible to the naked eye, there exist infrared and ultraviolet lights.
Since these lights cannot be captured by the naked eye, it looks pitch black to most people.
But in fact, there is light even in darkness!
Any object that is not at absolute zero constantly radiates energy in the form of light.
So theoretically, as long as there are objects, there will be light.
It’s just that under normal circumstances, the object emits infrared light.
The characteristic of dark pets endows Qiuqiu with the innate ability to see infrared light.
Thus, Qiuqiu can still see everything clearly in darkness.
But at this moment, it could not see anything; its night vision ability failed for the first time, because…
The infrared light had also been devoured by the dark supernatural forces.
Infrared is also light; it just has a different wavelength.
So… Is this the essence of the Rule Power of darkness?
From only being able to devour visible light to devouring invisible light as well.
The essence of darkness, is it devouring light?
As Qiuqiu was carefully pondering, at that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly surged, arriving instantly with intense hostility, bearing down on it.
Qiuqiu abruptly widened its eyes.
This was an all too familiar presence.
It was the aura of the Dark Qilin!
The pitch-black darkness, where nothing could be seen, began to gradually reveal visible objects at this moment.
However, the fear in Qiuqiu’s heart was not alleviated at all; on the contrary, upon seeing the entity before it, the fear peaked.
With a body ten thousand meters long, covered with crystal-like objects identical to the crystal it held, it had the form of a qilin with ferocious horns, and its eyes were as cold and deep as an abyss.
That was the Dark Qilin!
The Dark Qilin… was looking at it!
Is there a problem with the crystal?
This thought flashed through Qiuqiu’s mind, but it was already too late to react.
In front of the Dark Qilin, its consciousness seemed incredibly insignificant.
With just a single thought from this terrifying existence, Qiuqiu could be obliterated in an instant.
A hint of disdain flickered in the Dark Qilin’s eyes, and it calmly stretched out a claw, viciously swiping at Qiuqiu!
At this moment, Qiuqiu felt death was right in front of his eyes.
No!
No!!
Qiuqiu wanted to scream, but found he couldn’t even make a sound.
Just then, with a “rip” sound, the eternal darkness enveloping everything tore open like a piece of paper, revealing endless light.
Immediately after, Qiuqiu witnessed a scene he would never forget.
It was a branch.
A branch that was ten thousand meters long, which seemed to extend indefinitely into infinity.
Yet this branch didn’t resemble a branch in the slightest.
It was formless, and it was colorless.
It seemed to whip out from beyond the endless dimensions, each segment of the branch, each leaf, each pattern carved out by space rifts.
Beneath its branch-like exterior was an indescribable entity composed of innumerable subspace layers, twisted, compressed, overlapping!
What was it?!
Qiuqiu’s pupils suddenly contracted.
At this moment, his surprise even surpassed his fear.
“At the four corners of the world, there is space!”
“I am the Ancient Banyan of the Universe, guarding this place!”
“What immortal from whence do you come, daring to intrude upon the Battle Ground of the Heavenly Pride!”
As the branch pierced the darkness, bringing with it endless light, a deep and dignified voice suddenly filled the space.
Qiuqiu was stunned.
He had heard this voice before!
It was that of the Banyan Venerable, the immortal guardian of the Battle Ground of the Heavenly Pride from the Immortal Phoenix Sect!
So, it was him!
While Qiuqiu was astonished, the Dark Kirin previously lunging its claws towards Qiuqiu also let out a low growl.
It was a hoarse, dark voice, yet it carried an unparalleled authority.
“Battle Ground of the Heavenly Pride? I’ve never heard of such a thing!”
“There’s an immortal in Yanhuang?!”
“Despicable humans, you must die!!!”
The massive claw that had been reaching towards Qiuqiu, in the blink of an eye, viciously grabbed at the branch protruding into the void.
The Dark Kirin’s eyes held a cold murderous intent and extreme anger.
By hiding a sliver of consciousness inside the crystal and pretending to be defeated in order to probe the state of the Yanhuang Alliance, this move had indeed been the right one!
Who would have thought that the Yanhuang Alliance actually had an immortal being hidden within!
And judging by its strength, it even seemed a bit stronger than itself!
A mere fragment of consciousness would not be a match for it.
But with one strike, the other party would be tainted with its essence.
Then, it would be easy for the main body to come forth and claim victory!
Indeed, its own thoughts were correct.
Humans actually have an immortal as their trump card, unforgivable!
“Boom!”
With their clash, the world thundered at that moment, numerous fissures suddenly appeared in the void, as if the world itself might shatter under their conflict.
Layer upon layer of space bloomed, the Ancient Banyan of the Universe remained unharmed, while the consciousness of the Dark Kirin started to blur.
“Ancient Banyan of the Universe, I will remember you.”
The Dark Kirin spoke calmly, then the flicker of its consciousness indicated it was about to return to its main body.
However, the next moment, its pupils suddenly widened, its expression more shocked than ever before.
“What is this place?!”
It could not sense its main body at all.
Even more, it felt it was not on Planet Blue.
This made the Dark Kirin momentarily lose its composure.
“What do you mean ‘what is this place’ when I’ve already said it’s the Battle Ground of the Heavenly Pride, asking knowingly,” Banyan Venerable huffed, “You remember me? Am I supposed to fear you?”
While speaking, a branch lashed fiercely towards the Dark Kirin, bringing layers of dimensions, shattering countless spaces, and instantly crushing the consciousness of the Dark Kirin.
“A grain of rice also tries to shine its light?”
