Chapter 1764: Strange Black Energy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang grabbed Yan Jun’s head with one hand and read the remaining memories quickly.
Skipping through the images of his endless and long growth, he browsed for evidence of him being a Raider and the information related to the mystic territory swiftly.
Very soon, he found the portion of information that he was looking for. He began to carefully examine the information.
Yan Jun had joined the Raiders a long time ago. He was discovered when he had just been elevated to heavenly god-level, and was invited to join.
The reason why he joined the Raiders was simple. He was a regenerated being, and had been at minor dao-level in his past life. He failed to elevate to major dao-level, so he chose to reincarnate to cultivate once again.
After the Raiders found him, the first condition they gave was to guarantee that he could definitely elevate to major dao-level.
He joined almost without hesitation.
After elevating to Lord, he was assigned to enter Royal, and he stayed there until now.
Nobody had discovered his spy identity all this while.
His mission in entering the mystic territory this time was simple. He would hunt for explorers while trying his best not to expose his identity.
In reality, Wang Xuanan was not his first prey.
Before Wang Xuanan, he had killed a major dao-level and minor dao-level powerhouse in the second level of the abyssal zone.
He did it discreetly and nobody had found out.
Just as Lin Huang was going to probe further regarding the real purpose of the Raiders in the mystic territory this time, Yan Jun’s head seemed to have been triggered by something suddenly.
A pitch-black strange energy appeared out of thin air, spreading out like ink. It spread throughout all of his memories quickly.
The memory images began to carbonize at a terrifying speed, and then collapsed.
After destroying all of the memory images, the strange black energy even started to spread toward Lin Huang’s God’s soul energy through Yan Jun’s memory images.
Realizing something was off, Lin Huang removed his God’s soul energy immediately. However, he was too late.
His God’s soul energy was tangled up by a strand of black thread shot out by the accelerated black energy. Within a blink of an eye, the black energy enveloped an area of his God’s soul energy and began to crawl up, attempting to infest Lin Huang’s entire God’s soul.
He could even clearly sense that, not only did the black energy come with strong corrosive ability, it contained powerful assimilation capabilities too.
It could absorb the remaining Odyl left in Yan Jun’s body and Lin Huang’s God’s soul energy to strengthen itself.
Sending the abnormality, Lin Huang borrowed the Dao seals in his Kingdom immediately in an attempt to chase it out of his body.
He used 500,000 Dao seals at once to activate a vast amount of Odylic Force.
However, he looked extremely terrible in the next second.
The Odylic Force he borrowed from the Kingdom merely reduced the momentum of the infection of the strange energy. However, as the assimilation continued, the ink-like black energy began to grow at a high speed, and had even begun to infect more Odylic Force.
‘What exactly is this?!’
Lin Huang could not help but exclaim secretly.
After hesitating for a moment, he used his own Dao seals to activate Odylic Force.
The Dao seals that were consolidated with millions of Dao tattoos clearly could not be compared to the Dao seals borrowed from the Kingdom.
As the Odyl was activated this time, the ink-like strange energy infection speed finally slowed down. It seemed to be suppressed actively.
Lin Huang also realized that his Odyl could not be infected and assimilated by that black energy.
The problem was, his Odyl could not do anything to the black energy as well. It could not chase it out of his body. The black energy seemed to have consciousness of its own. It was fighting with his Odyl.
After the futile effort of struggling with the black energy by controlling his Odylic Force, he had finally activated the Eternity Fire in his body.
A golden flame attacked the black energy swiftly.
This time, the black energy finally began to show signs of being defeated.
Although it was still absorbing energy slowly, the Eternity Fire was clearly its nemesis.
It would dodge wherever the flame passed by.
As Lin Huang’s Odyl blocked its way, Eternity Fire finally engulfed the invading energy completely after some time.
Lin Huang released a long exhale of breath.
He retrieved his consciousness out of his body and realized that Yan Jun’s corpse had turned into a pile of ash.
He carefully recalled the information he retrieved from Yan Jun’s memory at the very last moment.
There seemed to be only two terms—Black Abyss and sacrifice.
“Black Abyss… Sacrifice…” Without other corresponding information, Lin Huang was at a loss as to what those two terms meant exactly.
After restraining himself from pointless overthinking, Lin Huang recalled that Wang Xuanan was still beside him.
He turned his head to look at Old Wang. There was clearly admiration in Wang Xuanan’s eyes when he looked at him.
“Senior…” Wang Xuanan was really clueless as he watched the white-robed man with a mask looking at him. He did not know what Lin Huang would do to him at all.
In the outside world, merely a moment had passed as Lin Huang fought with the contaminated energy inside his body. However, Wang Xuanan had clearly sensed the 500,000 Dao seal power that he used as well as the energy fluctuations from the Dao seals he activated later on.
The first round of Dao seal power he borrowed from his Kingdom had stunned Wang Xuanan, much less the energy fluctuations coming from the Dao seals he used later on.
At the moment, Wang Xuanan had completely placed Lin Huang in the same category as White Brow. He even suspected that Lin Huang was Householder White Brow.
However, no matter who he suspected Lin Huang to be, he dared not call out Lin Huang’s identity directly.
After all, the senior disguised himself because he did not want to be recognized.
Lin Huang was rather speechless when he heard Wang Xuanan calling him senior.
This old man was so much older than he was.
However, since he had exposed a portion of his ability in front of him, he could only accept him calling him senior.
After nodding lightly at Old Wang, Lin Huang suddenly thought he should know many things that he did not since he had been around the universe for years.
He decided to ask after thinking about it for a moment, “Do you know what the Black Abyss is?”
Wang Xuanan was stunned when he heard the question that had come out of nowhere. He thought for a while before shaking his head. “No idea. I’ve never heard of it.”
“However, if you need the information, I can check for you after the exploration ends,” Wang Xuanan continued to say, worried that he might offend the “senior” in front of him.
“No need.” Lin Huang waved. “Pretend I never asked. About Yan Jun…”
Before Lin Huang could say anything further, Wang Xuanan squeezed out a smile and took over the conversation, “I didn’t see him, nor do I know whether he’s dead or alive.”
“No, tell Royal that Yan Jun is a Raiders’ spy when you return. Get Royal to search for the remaining spies!” Lin Huang shook his head and urged.
“This humble one will do so.” Wang Xuanan nodded immediately. “About Yan Jun’s death…”
“Say it was a white-robed man who killed him.”
“Got it. This humble one will relay the message.” Wang Xuanan bowed.
When he lifted his head again, the white-robed man in front of him had vanished completely..
