Chapter 284: Lord of Darkness (Long Chapter)
Mu Zi glanced at Qingtan, then looked at Chen Kui who was waving his hands awkwardly.

"No need to explore the way, let's go together."

They have already entered the depths of the Demonic Realm. Even with Chen Kuisheng's strength at the minor success stage of the Profound Realm, he will encounter danger here, so it is better to take him along.

There was no need for Chen Kui to explore the way. It was just an excuse for Qingtan to get him out of the way. The sensitive topics had been discussed almost completely, so there was no need to avoid Chen Kui next.

hum!
A white light flashed, and the injuries on Chen Kui's body had recovered.

Mu Zi did not give Chen Kui a chance to refuse and completed the treatment before he could react.

"hey-hey."

Chen Kui felt his body full of energy, and a look of relief appeared on his face. Seeing Qingtan looking at him with disdain, he smiled awkwardly.

After adjusting the ghost mask, Chen Kui's temperament became mysterious and aloof again. However, after witnessing the funny scene just now, his image in Mu Zi's eyes could no longer be changed.

"Let's go."

Mu Zi lightly tapped her toes and flew high into the sky. Qingtan and Chen Kui looked at each other, then leaped up and followed.

Next, the three of them walked silently along the way, heading towards the direction indicated by the map.

As they went deeper into the alien demon realm, the figures became fewer and fewer, and no trace of treasure hunters could be seen. The monsters they encountered became more and more powerful, and the frequency of Shengxuan Realm appearing became higher and higher. From time to time, monsters would suddenly rise up along the way and attack the three people, but they were easily dealt with by Mu Zi.

Along the way, Mu Zi's performance had a strong impact on Chen Kui's heart, as if it had reshaped his worldview.

"There are three guys in the Shengxuan realm ahead. Do you want to go around them?"

Chen Kui looked forward with a serious expression. There, three black panthers with wings on their backs were gathered together, emitting a faint oppressive force. Chen Kui's heart was filled with alarm and he instinctively wanted to stay away.

Boom!
However, before he could finish his words, Chen Kui felt a flash before his eyes. Before he could react, a loud bang suddenly came from the distance, like thunder from the sky, which made his heart tremble.

The ground below shook violently in the aftermath of the loud noise, as if a giant beast had awakened and was roaring in anger. Chen Kui looked towards the location of the three black panthers, and saw dust flying and gravel rising into the sky. The dark ground was shaking and tumbling in the violent vibration, and huge cracks spread rapidly like the mouth of the abyss, swallowing up everything around it, like a dragon churning and shaking the ground.

When the dust settled, Chen Kui looked out into the distance and saw a huge deep pit blasted out on the ground, like a meteorite impact from outer space. The area around the pit was full of gullies and a mess, as if it had been ravaged by an ancient giant beast.

At the center of the collision, the three-headed demon in the realm of Shengxuan had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a woman in white standing quietly, her skirt fluttering, her long black hair dancing, her bare feet clean and unstained by dust, peaceful and beautiful.

Seeing this scene, Chen Kui's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

A fairy-like girl, yet so violent, the contrast is too great!

"keep going."

A calm voice came from my ears, Mu Zi had returned to the sky. Chen Kui turned his head and his eyes fell on the slender body covered by the white dress, and he couldn't help but smack his lips.

It is really hard to imagine that such a terrifying power is hidden under such a weak appearance!

It's simply a wild ancient beast in the skin of a beautiful woman!

Qingtan, who was standing by, looked at the scene below with a calm expression. She had known Mu Zi for a long time and was quite familiar with the latter's style, so there was no need to make a fuss.

The three of them continued to move deeper into the Demonic Realm, and all the monsters they encountered along the way were easily destroyed by Mu Zi.

Traveling at full speed, they arrived at the location indicated on the map just half a day later.

After turning a hill, a wide plain came into view. Above the ground, there was a huge abyss tens of thousands of feet deep, as if it was a crack torn apart by heaven and earth, deep and bottomless. From the abyss, there were faint roars filled with the aura of murder, which was chilling.

"The location indicated by the map should be right below." Qingtan opened his palms, observed the light curtain in front of him, compared it with the surrounding environment, and then spoke.

"Let's go."

Mu Zi leaped down from the air and entered the abyss. Qing Tan and the other followed closely behind him and disappeared into the dark entrance.

As they dived into the abyss, the atmosphere around them gradually became oppressive. The three of them found themselves in a deep prison, as if they were separated from the world.

After an unknown amount of time, they came to the bottom of the abyss and stared intently at a place below.

There, the space was fluctuating and twisting, as if countless tiny cracks were slowly opening, and a strange aura was faintly seeping in from behind the space.

Around that distorted space, dozens of black shadows of various shapes gathered together densely, swallowing and spitting out wisps of black mist, like a rolling dark wave, spreading to the surroundings. In pairs of demon eyes, scarlet light flashed, like a killing star, illuminating their hideous faces.

"This is too much!"

Feeling the breath of those dark shadows, Qingtan's pupils shrank and his expression changed instantly.

The strength of these monsters in front of me has actually reached the level of Shengxuan Realm! Could it be that all the powerful monsters in the nearby areas have gathered here?

Chen Kui on the side was also shocked, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes behind the ghost mask.

There are dozens of people with the strength of Shengxuan realm. Faced with such a lineup, even a strong man with the strength of great perfection has to temporarily avoid the edge.

Chen Kui remained calm and looked at Mu Zi beside him with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. Can she still handle the current situation?

“Hiss!” “Roar!”

Sensing the arrival of the "uninvited guests", the monsters suddenly became a little violent. Their pairs of scarlet eyes instantly locked onto Mu Zi and the others, and their roars filled with murderous intent resounded in the abyss.

A powerful pressure came over them, and Qingtan and Chen Kui couldn't help but feel suffocated. If Mu Zi hadn't been here, they would have fled long ago.

Mu Zi looked down, taking in the figures of the monsters, and spoke softly, his calm voice echoing in the abyss.

"Let's deal with it."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Zi's eyes were instantly dyed with an icy blue color, and a heart-pounding extreme chill suddenly burst out, filling the air between heaven and earth.

The Ice Ancestral Talisman vibrated gently in the Niwan Palace, and the cold air instantly condensed into ice and snow all over the sky. Mu Zi's figure was surrounded by the ice and snow, her long ice-blue hair moved without wind, like an ice goddess.

Click! Click!
A series of crisp crackling sounds were heard in the air, and ice and snow gathered from the sky. As Mu Zi's mind moved, hundreds of ice cones condensed in front of her and aimed at the black shadow below.

"go with!"

Mu Ziyu pointed her finger in the air, and the ice cones shot out like pear blossoms in a rainstorm, covering the monsters. Each ice cone was enough to easily kill a strong man who had reached the minor success stage of the Shengxuan realm.

shhhhhh!
Accompanied by bursts of sharp sounds of breaking through the air, hundreds of ice cones cut through the space. Wherever they passed, the extreme cold seemed to freeze the space.

The monsters had no time to react under the attack. Their bodies were pierced by ice cones and then frozen by the icy air, turning into ice sculptures.

In the blink of an eye, the originally aggressive group of monsters were completely wiped out, and only deathly silence remained at the bottom of the abyss.

"this!"

Chen Kui stared at the ice sculptures in amazement, a flash of deep horror passed through his eyes, and a storm of shock rose in his heart.

Dozens of monsters with the strength of Shengxuan realm were so vulnerable to the attack of the ice cones that they were defeated in an instant. Seeing such a shocking scene, Chen Kui's mind was shaken violently.

Chen Kui felt an extremely deadly threat from those ice cones. What shocked him was that with his strength, he might not be able to block even one ice cone!

This means that each of the ice cones condensed by Mu Zi is capable of killing someone in the less successful Shengxuan realm, and there are hundreds of such ice cones!
Chen Kui looked at the figure that looked like the goddess of ice, his eyes filled with disbelief.

With one attack, nearly a hundred powerful men in the Shengxuan realm were killed!
With such strength, she is probably comparable to a strong person in the Death Profound Realm. According to my junior sister, the age of Miss Mu is probably less than 20 years old.
At the age of 20, he killed hundreds of people with one strike.
What kind of monster is this?
Compared with her, he, the eldest senior brother of the Dark Temple, was so weak that it was horrible. Even if hundreds of him joined forces, they could not withstand a single move from the opponent. They were like ants and could be easily killed.

At this moment, Chen Kui was truly shocked. Facing Mu Zi's terrifying strength, he felt hopeless and powerless, and had no intention of even trying to catch up.

How could there be such a monster in the world?
Different from Chen Kui's focus, Qing Tan was staring at Mu Zi at the moment, staring at her with blue eyes and blue hair, feeling surprised. Blue sister Mu Zi, quite rare!

Mu Zi glanced at Qingtan indifferently, his mind moved slightly, and he restrained the aura of the Ice Ancestral Talisman. The next moment, the ice-blue color gradually faded and returned to black.

Mu Zi lightly tapped her jade feet and passed through one ice sculpture after another. She came to the distorted space and felt the fluctuations in it.

Seeing this, Qingtan also came over. As she approached that space, the natal seal in the Niwan Palace seemed to sense some special aura and began to tremble slightly.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Qingtan's eyes. Feeling the fluctuation of his natal talisman, he touched his chin thoughtfully.

"This ancient treasure seems to have some connection with the Dark Ancestral Talisman."

The natal talisman condensed by Qingtan was copied from the ancestral talisman of darkness. Now the dark talisman resonated with the breath behind the space, which might mean something.

"Oh?"

When Mu Zi heard this, a wave flashed across her eyes. After pondering for a moment, she activated the Ice Ancestral Talisman again, sensing the breath behind the distorted space.

Buzz!

There was a slight fluctuation in the Niwan Palace. Mu Zi's eyes focused and he had some vague guesses in his mind.

This secret treasure might really be related to the ancestral talisman.

"This kind of feeling?"

Qingtan stared at the distorted space, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes. After a slight hesitation, she suddenly formed a mysterious seal with her hands.

Suddenly, a black light surged between Qingtan's eyebrows, and the next moment, a black talisman slowly flew out from his Niwan Palace.

The appearance of the black talisman attracted Mu Zi's attention. She looked over there, her sight fell on the talisman, and she looked at the rubbing of the dark ancestral talisman.

However, before she could take a closer look and see clearly, something strange happened.

Buzz!
Suddenly, the distorted space began to fluctuate violently, accompanied by buzzing sounds. Slight cracks began to appear on the space, and the cracks spread rapidly. In an instant, the entire space was covered with traces, like a mirror that was about to crack and shattered.

Seeing this scene, Mu Zi frowned slightly. This sign doesn't look like Gu Zang.
The next moment, under the gaze of the three people, the space was finally distorted to the limit. With a strange sound, the space finally couldn't bear the burden and shattered into pieces, like torn cloth, instantly turning into nothingness.

The moment the space was shattered, a deep and ancient darkness surged out from the void, instantly sweeping around and engulfing the entire abyss.
Chi Chi!

Mu Zi was well prepared. At the moment of the change, he immediately activated the power of the Ice Ancestral Talisman, forming an ice-blue energy shield to protect the three people. Outside the shield, the deep and ancient darkness surged like a tide, constantly impacting the shield's barrier, making a harsh erosion sound.

"too frightening!"

Qingtan hid in the protective shield of the Ice Ancestral Talisman, trembling as he looked at the scene outside.

The moment the darkness came, she felt a strong breath of death. If Mu Zi had not launched a protective action in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

“This isn’t Gu Zang!”

There is such danger hidden behind that space that it is unlikely to be a secret treasure left behind by an ancient powerful being. It is more like a naturally formed wonder.

Mu Zi mobilized his strength to maintain the shield, looking at the endless darkness, thinking secretly in his heart.

With the protection of the power of the ancestral talisman, their lives are safe and they will be able to escape successfully after the darkness recedes.

At this moment, a strange wave broke through the darkness, instantly penetrated the shield, and enveloped Mu Zi.
Mu Zi came to his senses and found himself on an endless plain. The ground was full of gullies and devastation. It looked familiar and somewhat similar to the environment in the Demonic Realm.

However, amidst the ruins, one can still see a lot of lush colors, which is somewhat different from the completely dark land in the Demon Realm.

"Illusion?"

Mu Zi observed the scene around him, his eyes calm as usual, without any sign of panic.

With her eyesight, she could naturally see that she was in an illusion at the moment.

This residual fluctuation from ancient times does not cause any harm. It is just a peculiar scene of time and space, recording a certain scene from ancient times.

Mu Zi looked up and more scenes came into view.

Above the ruined land, figures stood in the air, and a powerful aura permeated between heaven and earth. Opposite them, groups of surging black fog emitted a cold and evil light, and a monstrous aura swept over, as if it was incompatible with heaven and earth.

The world was in turmoil. Everywhere you looked, you could see figures engaging in fierce battles. It was as if the entire sky had turned into a battlefield. Devastating attacks whizzed past, and figures kept falling from the sky or turning into ashes and dissipating.

Far above the head, at the end of that plane, there was a huge black crack that was nearly a million feet long. The crack was like a ravine in the sky. At the end of the darkness, there was an indescribable evil aura emanating.

Evil black fog continued to break through the cracks across the sky and join the battlefield below.

Mu Zi stared at the brutal battle scene, a glimmer of enlightenment in his eyes.

The illusion before our eyes should be a corner of the great war between heaven and earth in ancient times, and this battlefield is exactly the present Demonic Realm.

The line of sight shifted, and a slender figure appeared in the center of the picture, wearing black armor. There was darkness around her, as if the light avoided that place.

The black-armored figure looked around the battlefield, taking in the falling figures. The next moment, a deep black light burst out from her body and transformed into an ancient black symbol in the sky. As soon as this ancient black symbol appeared, the sky and the earth darkened instantly, and a monstrous black light swept out from it.

The overwhelming black light quickly spread from the sky and reached the end of the sight in an instant. The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a dark world.

Under the cover of darkness, the black fog was suddenly suppressed. The evil aura seemed to have met its nemesis and quickly dissipated like the remaining snow. The strong men who were fighting with it seized the opportunity, burst out with destructive power, and suddenly suppressed it, forcing the black fog to retreat again and again.

The slender figure stretched out his hand and clenched it gently. Black light gradually condensed in his hand, and finally turned into a huge black sickle that was completely black and covered with complex mysterious symbols.

The moment the black giant sickle appeared, an extremely sharp aura emanated from it. The nearby space could not bear it and was torn into cracks under the sharp wave that could not be bridged for a long time.

Mu Zi looked at the slender figure holding a huge sickle in the sky, and a wave of emotion appeared in his eyes.

The Lord of Darkness, the first controller of the Dark Ancestral Talisman, the huge black sickle in her hand is the Dark Holy Scythe ranked fifth on the Ancient Divine Objects List.

The Lord of Darkness held the holy sickle in her hand, her aura connected, as if she had merged with the surrounding darkness, and rushed into the black fog. Every time she swung her sickle, a cloud of black fog would dissipate and turn into nothingness. She shuttled through the battlefield, and wherever she passed, the alien demons died one after another. The black figure seemed like the god of death who harvested lives, and the giant sickle in her hand was like the sickle of the god of death.

Among those demons that were killed, there were many true kings comparable to the second level of reincarnation. However, facing the attack of the Lord of Darkness, they had no power to resist and disappeared between heaven and earth under the sharp sword light.

The Lord of Darkness was obviously extremely powerful, and she specifically targeted powerful True Kings. As she continued to attack, the figures of the alien demon True Kings in the sky disappeared one after another. For a while, on the battlefield where the Lord of Darkness was located, the alien demons' arrogance was weakened, and they were at an absolute disadvantage.

At this moment, in the distant nothingness, a gaze passed through the plane cracks and fell on the figure who was wantonly killing. Along with the arrival of this gaze, an indescribable terrifying aura, carrying monstrous evil, spread over. The figure of the Lord of Darkness paused for a moment, looking up at the sky as if facing a great enemy.

The next moment, the heaven and earth trembled suddenly, and a powerful pressure descended from outside the plane. The battlefield seemed to be still, and all the figures fell into a brief stagnation at this moment.

A gray beam of light pierced through the void, passed through the cracks in the plane, fell from the sky, and locked onto the figure of the Lord of Darkness.

The Lord of Darkness looked more solemn than ever before. In the sky behind her, the darkness receded like a tide and shrank into a black rune.

hum!
The black rune turned into a beam of black light and shot into the giant sickle. A shadow emerged from the sickle, and the black sickle burst out with an extremely bright light, as if it was a ray of light hidden behind the extreme darkness.

On the battlefield, the Lord of Darkness rose into the air, holding a shining scythe, and met the gray-white beam of light.

boom!
An indescribable violent wave erupted, shaking the entire battlefield. A wail of grief came from the Dark Holy Scythe, and the shadow in the scythe began to flicker violently, eventually turning into countless bright spots of light and dissipating into the void.

The gray-white light pushed forward, unstoppably, pushing the figure of the Lord of Darkness from the sky to the ground.

The figure of the Lord of Darkness fell like a meteor, and finally hit the ground heavily. With a loud bang, the ground collapsed instantly, forming a huge abyss of tens of thousands of feet.
