I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

From the map of the divine realm, it can be seen that the four major regions have quite different areas. The Western Region is the smallest, only one-fifth of the Eastern Region and less than one-third of the Southern and Northern Regions. Compared with the other three regions, it can be described as a "tiny place."

This seemingly cramped Western Region is home to the most feared existence in the divine world - the Dark Divine Realm.

It occupies a vast territory in the Western Regions and is the undisputed overlord of the Western Regions. And the one who supports this hegemony is the Nether Clan.

The closest to the Dark Divine Realm is the Tianyu Divine Realm, located on the edge of the Northern Territory. Between the two realms lies a vast expanse of dead and silent starry sky.

It is the forbidden zone of life and the graveyard of time.

As far as the eye could see, there was only eternal desolation and deathly silence. No vegetation grew, no divine energy flowed, and even the light seemed greedily devoured by some invisible force, leaving only suffocating darkness and icy cold. This dead zone, like a vast scar on the universe, became a natural barrier separating the realms of darkness and heaven.

The rulers of the Tianyu Divine Realm are the ancient gods, a clan with a long and rich heritage. Even though the passage of time has faded from their former glory, the ancient gods remain the undisputed most powerful force in that land.

At this moment, the direction in which the Black Pearl was heading was the Dead Star Region, which was considered a daunting place by all the creatures in the divine world.

The spacecraft's speed gradually slowed down.

In front of us, the originally bright starry sky seemed to be splashed with thick ink. The light dimmed rapidly and was finally completely swallowed up by the boundless darkness.

A heart-pounding chill, as if capable of freezing the soul, silently seeped in through the Black Pearl's sturdy hull.

"We're here." Xiao Moxuan's voice came from the cockpit with a hint of solemnity.

On the deck, Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan's expressions remained unchanged, their eyes as sharp as lightning, cast towards the deep darkness that seemed to absorb everything.

Xiao Qingyu and Dan Qingwan felt the inexplicable chill and subconsciously moved closer, their beautiful eyes filled with vigilance and curiosity.

Ye Bing and Yang Jian stood beside them, their eyes scanning the front like lightning.

"Dead Star Region..."

Shi Yan'er's voice rang out through the communication array, carrying a subtle hint of nervousness. "The map indicates that the space here is extremely unstable, with frequent void turbulence and unknown 'annihilation storms'.

What's even more alarming is that there are legends that there are still some strange objects left over from the ancient war, or some terrifying beings that have been exiled here."

"Keep alert and maintain steady speed."

Xiao Mohan gave the order in a deep voice, his voice steady and full of reassuring power.

Xiao Moxuan activated the airship's defensive formation. Instantly, a brilliant golden shield illuminated the Black Pearl, like a pearl dropped into a sea of ​​ink, as it slowly sailed into the absolute darkness that annihilated even the stars.

The ship's illumination array operated at full power, but it could only cast a halo of light less than a hundred feet around the hull. Beyond the light was a pitch-black, heavy, seemingly frozen darkness.

The divine consciousness was extended, but it was like a drop in the ocean, greedily swallowed up by the darkness, leaving only the heart-pounding nothingness and chaotic spatial fluctuations.

Dead silence is the only theme here.

There was no sound, no wind, no trail of stars, and even the passage of time seemed blurred.

Only the low hum of the Black Pearl's engine was the only evidence of the absolute silence.

suddenly!

The airship shook violently!

As if it had hit an invisible wall, the protective light shield fluctuated violently, making a sharp buzzing sound!

"Oh no, there's something wrong on the left side!" Xiao Moxuan's voice sounded hurriedly, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and operated it quickly.

The darkness on the left side of the spacecraft began to roll like boiling ink. A huge vortex of pure dark energy, visible to the naked eye, was rapidly forming, emitting a destructive suction force, which was about to drag everything around it into eternal silence.

The moment Xiao Moxuan spoke, Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan's Nine Nether Pupil Technique had already been activated. They looked around and took in the dangers around them.

"This... is the origin of darkness?"

Su Yuer's pupils suddenly shrank, and the scene before her rushed into her vision like a raging wave.

The airship was being slowly pushed backwards by an invisible force, and in front of it was the source of darkness that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, rolling endlessly like a sticky liquid.

At this moment, the terrifying dark origin energy was like billions of black snakes dancing wildly, wreaking havoc on the world.

At the center of the massive vortex, a beast as monstrous as a mountain slowly emerged. Its surface was oozing with the thick, inky essence of darkness, a boundless liquid that churned and surged, greedily devouring the thin light around it.

Its head was enormous and twisted, its three vertical pupils emitting a crimson glow, like three cold blood moons. Wherever its gaze swept, the air seemed to freeze, filled with the chilling aura of death.

It has no obvious limbs, but instead has more than a dozen thick tentacles covered with spikes, each tentacle is a kilometer long. When it is waved casually, it will make a whistling sound that tears through space, and cause cracks to appear in all directions of the void.

"Oh no, it's a strange beast!"

A black and white light suddenly fell on Su Yuer's shoulder. It was the little white cat and the little black ball.

Before the little white cat finished speaking, the monster's dozen thick tentacles had already bombarded the airship like an overwhelming force!

In the cockpit, Xiao Moxuan's eyes were as cold as ice, and his finger pressed on the formation attack diagram on the crystal screen without hesitation.

boom!

A deafening roar echoed from the ship. Billions of golden rays shot out, like a storm of golden blades composed of pure energy, rushing towards the attacking beast!

Rumble!

The void shook violently, the viscous dark liquid swirling everywhere as the violent energy surged. The beast's thick tentacles exploded inch by inch in the void, its massive body shattering with a bang, transforming into a bloody mist!

After defeating the tentacle beast, the airship finally withdrew completely from the range of the dark vortex storm, and stopped steadily in the void, confronting the still madly spinning dark vortex from a distance.

"Master, what was that just now?!"

An Yi asked with a look of shock on his face and lingering fear.

Xiao Mohan stared straight ahead, his tone calm and composed: "It's just that I encountered a strange beast."

The so-called strange beasts are strange creatures that live in the origin of darkness. They only cultivate the origin of darkness, and the power of rules in their bodies can be used to refine the source liquid of dark origin, and can transform into a variety of strange forms.

Xiao Qingyu and Dan Qingwan both choked upon hearing this; they hadn't expected Xiao Mohan to say it so casually. Their gazes, however, were involuntarily focused on the lazy little white cat on Su Yu'er's shoulder.

“It’s actually… the Spirit Ancestor?!”

The two exchanged glances, each seeing the unconcealed shock and disbelief in the other's eyes. What kind of charm did Su Yu'er possess that she could even attract the legendary Spirit Ancestor's companionship?

At this moment, the eyes of Su Yuer, Xiao Mohan and others swept across the dark vortex and suddenly froze!

The vortex of the Dark Origin spun ever more frantically. Deep within the vortex, a strange octopus-like beast slowly emerged. Its body had practically merged with the Dark Origin. Countless slippery tentacles extended from the vortex, their tips gleaming with a dark and eerie light, emitting a suffocating, powerful aura of the Dark Origin.

In an instant, the strange beast bared its fangs and claws, carrying destructive dark energy, and rushed towards the airship!

"It's actually a strange beast from the Divine Emperor realm?!"

Su Yuer widened her eyes and screamed in surprise.

Xiao Moxuan's eyes flashed with coldness, a bloodthirsty arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he activated the formation attack button without hesitation.

Rumble!

Golden light flashed all around the airship, and a huge and terrifying lightning pillar wrapped in a chaotic aura broke through the air and hit the huge body of the monster head-on.

The countless tentacles of the strange beast exploded instantly, and its entire body quickly melted away under the erosion of the chaotic energy.

After the battle, wisps of pure dark energy escaped and actually merged into the bodies of Su Yuer and others.

As this dark source liquid entered their bodies, they were surprised to find that their own aura began to have a wonderful sense of harmony with the environment of this death star field.

"Don't stay on the boat. Refine the origin of darkness as you go." The little white cat stared at the surging darkness in front of it and spoke slowly.

"Right on my mind!"

Su Yu'er has clearly felt the strange sense of adaptation brought by the source of darkness, as if she has instantly merged into the embrace of darkness.

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mohan flew down to the ground first, followed by everyone else. Su Yu'er moved her mind, and the Black Pearl disappeared into her space.

The Death Star Region is shrouded in endless darkness. Only by understanding and applying the original rules of darkness can one move freely in it.

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan walked side by side, heading decisively into the depths of darkness, with Xiao Moxuan and the others following closely behind. They made no effort to restrain their presence, but like a boulder dropped into stagnant water, they instantly stirred up ripples.

Sensing the presence of a living being, the strange beasts suddenly swarmed from the darkness on all sides like sharks smelling blood. They were at least at the level of a Lord God, and some were even at the peak of the Divine Emperor realm!

However, these ferocious beasts didn't even get within a hundred feet of the crowd before they were swallowed up by the small black ball's mouth, which devoured the original rules, and completely turned into nothingness. As their aura continued to emanate and countless beasts died, even more powerful beings were alarmed.

An Yi used his divine power to conjure up a pair of giant hands and forcibly captured a strange-looking beast.

This beast is shaped like a dragon, covered with dark scales all over its body, hundreds of miles long, with pitch-black claws, and heart-pounding dark energy fluctuations erupting from its body.

Then, An Yi blasted it to pieces with a single punch, then formed a seal with his hands, guiding the pure dark essence within the beast into his own body like a stream. Soon, only an empty shell remained of the beast.

"Little Black Ball, be good! Let Mommy and Daddy absorb and refine it first, okay?" Su Yu'er turned her head and looked at the eager little Black Ball, her tone filled with anxiety. If this ancient Sky-Swallowing Beast was allowed to absorb it freely, they might not even get a sip of soup.
