I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

This is a dead end.

With the arrival of "Darkness," for these powerful beings who are prominent and at the pinnacle of civilization, there is no longer any possibility of turning the tide.

No matter how strong they are, can they contend with the immense power that constitutes the entire universe?

The saying "Man can conquer nature" doesn't always hold true.

Those who can overcome Heaven are not human, but gods.

Only epochal deities can contend against the concept of substance; otherwise, all living beings would be nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree, overestimating their own strength.

Unless they can produce "light" that can counteract "darkness" at this very moment, defeat is inevitable.

of course.

As they gritted their teeth, that great enemy of the era could defy all reason at will.

Even figures like the Holy Minister of Weiyang and the Awakening Ancestor of Wuwang are still an endless gap from the realm of gods. But the Great Enemy of the Era is different; he incorporates concepts into his control, and even more than one concept!

How did that guy manage to do that?

Why him, and not them?

"What? You've run out of ideas?"

Lieyang Jun took a step forward, and his figure appeared outside the fleet, facing the group of trapped experts from afar.

Hear the words.

The Holy Minister Weiyang's face turned even more ashen.

Although it's hard to admit, this hunt is indeed going to fail.

"Since you have nothing to say, then it's my turn."

Lord Lieyang felt utterly cheated.

The dark object he possessed was merely a fragment of the origin of the concept of darkness. This object could only be used once and was originally intended to guard against the personal intervention of certain old monsters or epochal gods. Unexpectedly, it ended up being used to kill a bunch of small fry of similar level.

Even concepts, which are not sentient beings, will act according to their own nature; without a sovereign authority, the concept of darkness is completely unmoved.

These primordial fragments should not be used in large quantities unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if the rebels are completely cut off from their base, they will not be able to stay in the Dark Realm, their only stronghold, as the concept of darkness will corrupt them into distorted creations.

and so.

He is very unhappy!

These guys aren't getting away!

"retreat!"

Weiyang Saintess reacted the fastest, retreating rapidly while simultaneously summoning an ancient immortal mirror. The mirror's light attempted to tear through the darkness and forcefully break free.

However, the mirror light quickly dimmed and dissipated on the dark boundary, without causing the slightest ripple!

Other powerful individuals also tried various life-saving escape techniques and boundary-breaking treasures, but without exception, they all failed!

"Still want to run?"

Lord Lieyang's face was icy cold. He pressed his fingertips lightly against the void, and the absolute darkness that enveloped all directions seemed to be injected with violent activity, beginning to hunt.

It was no longer a static curtain, but transformed into a dark tide with instinct!

The first to suffer was the elder of the Dragon God Temple of the Dragon Clan civilization. He manifested a ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon body, with golden dragon scales burning with ancient dragon flames powerful enough to incinerate stars, attempting to fight against the darkness. However, the dragon flames were completely extinguished the moment they entered the darkness, without even a ripple.

Darkness, like a living thing, seeped into the cracks of the dragon scales. Wherever it passed, the dragon scales, as hard as divine metal, silently turned into black dust, followed by flesh, bones, and even the scorching dragon flames burning within the dragon's soul...

The whole process was incredibly fast. The elder only had time to let out a short scream before the enormous dragon body was completely swallowed by darkness, leaving not even a trace of its existence.

The hunters, who thought they had victory in their grasp, began to fight individually, each seeking only to save their own lives.

"Join forces and form a battle formation!"

The four immortal saints spat out their blood essence, sacrificing their lifespans to barely create a rugged immortal domain less than a hundred feet in diameter, blocking the surging dark tide from entering.

At the edge where light and darkness meet, a chilling tearing sound is heard, but what evaporates are countless pale golden shards.

"I can't hold on any longer!"

A holy minister's face was deathly pale, and a trickle of blood radiating immortal light had spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Their all-out defense, barely touched by the darkness's encroachment, began to frantically deplete their source blood and life essence, forcing them to repeatedly unleash all their treasures to further reinforce their defenses.

"We have to hold on!"

The Holy Minister Weiyang issued a death order.

the other side.

Wuwangjue Zuzhang chanted a Buddhist mantra, and his withered body suddenly radiated boundless Buddhist light. Behind him appeared the phantom of a swaying precious tree, with three thousand Buddha kingdoms hanging on the tree. In each Buddha kingdom, there were hundreds of millions of phantoms of Buddhas chanting scriptures at the same time.

The three Buddhas also sat cross-legged in the void, offering up the power of their Buddhist kingdom and all the top Buddhist treasures they carried, connecting them with the Bodhi Tree of the Ancestor of No Delusion, together constructing a pure land Buddhist realm.

The Buddha's light shone brightly, attempting to purify the darkness, and the sound of chanting resounded throughout the void.

The powerful beings of other civilizations displayed their unique abilities, and few could calmly accept reality in the face of death.

Everyone is resisting.

A dazzling array of lights burst forth in the darkness, like the last rays of a dying star.

But is the struggle in vain...?

Lord Lieyang saw it all clearly.

He wasn't even in a hurry to give these guys a quick death.

Darkness is everywhere.

Even cultivators at the Concept Realm, and even those alien races whose true forms are powerful enough to withstand the collapse of a galaxy, cannot prevent a wisp of darkness from seeping into their bodies.

In the next instant, no matter how magnificent and powerful the body was, it was greedily devoured from within by that wisp of darkness, eventually turning into a tiny wisp of black smoke that merged into the larger tide.

Deaths began to occur one after another.

These powerful figures, who could shake an entire star system with a mere stomp of their feet, were now like lambs to the slaughter.

Lord Lieyang watched all of this with indifference.

"No! I surrender! I know the secrets of civilization! I am willing to pledge my allegiance..."

An old mage from a magical civilization could no longer withstand the onslaught and attempted to dissipate his magic to show his submission.

But the dark tide ignored it, sweeping over us directly. The cries stopped abruptly, vanishing like a candle flame extinguished by an invisible hand.

"You want to surrender now?"

Lord Lieyang snorted coldly, "It's too late. Besides, my lord doesn't accept just any piece of trash."

in fact.

He really wanted to bring these people under his command.

After all, the rebels have been severely weakened for a long time and have not yet recovered, so they need to find a way to replenish their high-level combat power.

But it's a pity.

At this moment, "Darkness" follows its most primal instinct, devouring everything in its vicinity. "Darkness" is indifferent to any emotions or worldly wisdom. Precisely because of this, it is an incomparably pure conceptual power, worthy of being sought after and coveted by countless cultivators.

He was not qualified to be the ruler of darkness; he was merely a key that temporarily unlocked the cage.

Now that the wild beasts have been released from their cages, they are about to have a feast, and Lord Lieyang can't stop them.

He could only guarantee that the wild animals he released wouldn't end up being eaten by him.

Anyway.

It's not like he's trying to trap someone.

These people, for the sake of the secrets of the Epoch Cemetery, are willing to lower themselves to come here and act as spies. Who can they blame?

I hate potato mines.
