267: C267 Origin of Darkness

C267 Origin of Darkness

The black fog spiraled in all directions. After the fog lingered, everything within a hundred meters of Xiao Chen and the others was already desolate. Everything had withered in an instant. The trunk of the tree had turned black and lost its vitality. The same went for the flowers and trees. The color of the earth had also turned dark.

Other than Xiao Chen, Liang Yiyi and the other two felt that they were in a hell of a world. The surrounding black fog seemed as if it was going to end their lives at any moment.

It was as if there was something extremely terrifying hidden in the black fog. It made people feel cold and bone-piercing. It made people's souls tremble.

The black fog enveloped the entire world, turning the world from light to darkness. There was no hope of light in front of them. Everything was so hopeless. Darkness descended, and the entire world fell into a deathly silence. No one could escape from the darkness.

The changes in the surroundings were the best proof. Darkness would slowly corrode everything. Everyone's heart would gradually devour a single person until this person disappeared from the world.

The pressure and fear that the black fog gave the three people was self-evident. The three people's faces were pale, and their pupils were widening bit by bit.

The three people felt that their breathing had become extremely difficult. They felt as if the air around them had been stripped away.

"Young Master!" Liang Yiyi looked at Xiao Chen. Compared to the three of them, Xiao Chen's expression did not change at all. Xiao Chen's eyes were full of vigor and light flickered. He felt that this black fog was like a joke to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's expression was calm as he looked around with a smile on his face.

After hearing Liang Yiyi's words, Xiao Chen finally reacted. He looked at the three of them. Xiao Chen awkwardly patted his forehead. "I'm old. I actually forgot about the three of you. This black fog is not something you can withstand! It was my negligence." Xiao Chen said guiltily.

While he was speaking, Xiao Chen waved his hand and three rays of light burst out from his palm. The three rays of light instantly circled around Liang Yiyi and the other two.

The three of them seemed to be enveloped by a layer of light. The pressure and despair they felt just now disappeared without a trace, as if they were about to die.

They felt extremely comfortable all over their bodies, and their breathing became much smoother.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Ye Hanluo looked at Xiao Chen. The feeling just now was really too scary. Even if she had naturally terminated meridians, she had never felt such despair. Just now, she felt that Ye Hanluo swore that she would never try again in her life. It was really too scary.

In that instant, all hope was instantly destroyed. Everything was destroyed without a trace. It was as if the entire world had fallen into darkness.

"Wait for me outside. You can't bear it here!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

The three of them nodded without stopping. Because they knew their strength, just like Xiao Chen had said, if they stayed here for even a moment, their lives would be threatened.

"Then young master, be careful!" Huang Yan looked at Xiao Chen and said.

When the three of them left, Xiao Chen looked around. Black fog surrounded the cauldron. The cauldron kept shaking. He felt something was rushing out of it.

A terrifying force was rolling wildly on the surface of the cauldron. It was as if this force could destroy the world.

"The source of darkness, can it make people fall into darkness?" Xiao Chen smiled. "Light and darkness coexist. Only the Dao heart is eternal. No matter if it is light or darkness, it cannot shake me."

Xiao Chen pointed his finger. The Dao Seeking Sword was suspended in the air above the cauldron. The tip of the sword was pointed at the cauldron. All kinds of spiritual light burst out from the Dao Seeking Sword. The light turned into swords that spiraled around the cauldron.

The long sword hummed. The thing inside the cauldron seemed to have received a warning. It suddenly quieted down.

Xiao Chen shook his head and walked to the side of the cauldron. He raised his hand and patted the cauldron. A buzzing sound was heard. Suddenly, a black fog emerged from the cauldron. The black fog immediately wrapped around Xiao Chen.

"I have said that it is useless. The reason why darkness can devour others is because their Dao Heart is not firm. Their Dao Heart is flawed, which is why darkness has an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, I am different."

Xiao Chen didn't resist as he spoke. He allowed the black fog to engulf him and himself. The black fog enveloped Xiao Chen's body and became thicker and thicker.

Gradually, he couldn't see Xiao Chen clearly.

Xiao Chen spread his hands in the black fog, allowing the black fog to devour and corrode him. However, Xiao Chen's body was like an indestructible treasure. No matter how the black fog churned, it could not harm Xiao Chen.

Finally, Xiao Chen returned his sleeves, and the black fog dissipated in an instant.

Xiao Chen raised his hand and pointed. The Dao Seeking Sword stabbed down, and the cauldron shattered. A loud bang shook the sky. It was like a bolt from the blue. The booming sound reverberated continuously in the sky above the hunting ground.

Everyone raised their heads to look. This booming sound was truly deafening, deafening to the ears and deafening to the ears.

Birds flew out of their nests in the forest and hundreds of beasts fled. Liang Yiyi and the other two looked at the black fog and knew that it was Xiao Chen who made this sound. However, the three of them did not dare to go in. The black fog was really terrifying.

"What sound?"

"I don't know. This is like a bolt out of the blue. Could it be that a phenomenon has descended from the sky?"

"Impossible!"

Many people began to discuss the loud sound. It was really too strange. They had never heard such a loud sound before. The loud sound was even louder than thunder.

It felt like the sky had collapsed.

"Could it be that the sky has collapsed and the earth has caved in?"

"Nonsense, can't we feel the sky collapsing and the earth collapsing? Look at the sky. Someone guessed. Someone refuted. Everyone began to suspect.

The Dao-Seeking Sword shattered the cauldron, and the tip of the sword stabbed into the ground. There was a cloud of black mist on the tip of the sword. The black mist seemed to have a life of its own. It kept churning, as if it wanted to break free from the Dao-Seeking Sword.

However, when the Dao-Seeking Sword Prison stabbed down, it seemed to have pierced the lifeline of the black mist.

"You want to escape?" Xiao Chen asked the black fog. In the eyes of others, it was a mass of black fog without any intelligence, but in Xiao Chen's eyes, it was an existence with life.

When the black mist heard Xiao Chen's words, it became even more turbulent. The black mist exploded and wrapped around the Dao-Seeking Sword.

"Everything in the world has its own fate. Even though you are the source of darkness and the ancestor of all evil, you are still reasonable. As long as you find the source of darkness, you will have nowhere to hide!" Xiao Chen looked at the black fog and said.

"Make a soul in my Dao-Seeking Sword!"

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, the Dao-Seeking Sword began to tremble. The black mist seemed to be struggling madly, but in front of the Dao-Seeking Sword, the black mist's struggle was like a child's play.

Slowly, the Dao-Seeking Sword absorbed all of the black mist. In the blink of an eye, the entire body of the Dao-Seeking Sword was pitch black and shiny black.

The black Xiao Chen could see his own shadow.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, the Dao-Seeking Sword rose into the air and stabbed towards Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen took a few steps back and raised his right hand. He then put his sword fingers together and grabbed the tip of the sword.

The Dao Seeking Sword kept struggling.

"This is my magical body. Do you still want to possess it?" Xiao Chen said as if he was mocking a fool. He gathered some strength at the tip of his finger and the Dao-Seeking Sword disappeared.

Then, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and started meditating.

Xiao Chen meditated and cultivated. The black fog around him disappeared bit by bit, but the surrounding environment did not improve at all. It was very desolate.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Ye Hanluo said. The black fog dissipated. There should be no danger here anymore. The three of them were on guard and walked slowly to Xiao Chen.

The three of them saw Xiao Chen surrounded by the black mist. His hair was fluttering in the wind, his lips were extremely dark, and the corner of his eyes were also flickering with black shadows. A terrifying aura burst out from Xiao Chen's body.

Xiao Chen just sat there. Xiao Chen sat there like a sleeping devil.

The aura of death kept spreading out from Xiao Chen's body. This terrifying feeling made Xiao Chen feel like he was the source of all this. Xiao Chen was now the representative of hell.

"Young master!" Liang Yiyi called out in a low voice. Xiao Chen did not respond. Liang Yiyi called Xiao Chen again, but there was still no response.

"What's going on? Could it be that the black fog has backfired?" Liang Yiyi frowned and did not say anything. She looked at Ye Hanluo. Ye Hanluo had read the most books here and should know some things.2

"I don't know either. Let's just wait!"

Ye Hanluo said. She did not know the scene in front of her and could only wait for Xiao Chen to wake up. After seven days, the black fog on Xiao Chen's body finally dissipated completely.

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hands. This darkness and light were indeed the most terrifying. He actually needed seven days to completely dissolve the corrosion of darkness.

"Young master!" The three of them came in front of Xiao Chen.

"Yes!" Xiao Chen nodded. Ye Hanluo and Liang Yiyi helped Xiao Chen up.

"Young Master, you are making us so worried. What happened to you? Why is there a black fog on your body?" Liang Yiyi asked. Xiao Chen smiled and did not answer.

Liang Yiyi immediately understood.

"We have wasted some time. Let's continue on our journey."

The four of them continued deeper into the Eastern Mountain. No one knew how long they had been walking, or how far they had gone. The environment and scenery around them had undergone a drastic change.

"The scenery here seems to have returned to normal!"

Huang Yan looked around and said. There were no more shocking things here. Rabbit was incomparably huge, elephant was like a mountain, trees were like towering mountains, flowers and plants were like towering trees.

Everything here was the same as outside.

"Is this the deepest part of Eastern Mountain?" Ye Hanluo observed the surroundings and asked. This was the first time she was so curious about a place.

"That's right!"

Xiao Chen frowned as he spoke. He fanned his nose with his left hand. It was as if he smelled something, but the three of them tried to smell it and found nothing.

"Young master, do you have anything?" Liang Yiyi asked.

"Hey!" Xiao Chen sighed. It seemed like he really could not avoid it.

"There is someone ahead!" Huang Yan pointed ahead and said. The three of them looked over and saw that there was indeed someone who looked like an ordinary person. He wore gray clothes and had a chopping knife at his waist. He carried two bundles of firewood on his back.

Before Xiao Chen could react, Huang Yan had already arrived in front of this man.

The man was shocked the moment he saw Huang Yan. It was as if he had never seen anyone before. His face was full of shock, which made Huang Yan feel a little scared.

"Hello!"

Huang Yan still greeted him weakly. The man acted as if he did not hear him. He looked at Huang Yan carefully again. His eyes were like a sharp blade. He wanted to cut Huang Yan apart bit by bit and observe him carefully.

"There's no need to look. He's a human no matter where I look at him." Xiao Chen brought Liang Yiyi and Ye Hanluo over. Xiao Chen said as if he had returned to the reason why the man in front of him was shocked.

A person? Huang Yan frowned. This explanation sounded so awkward to him.
