Chapter 1057 Battle of Darkness (I)
1057 Battle of Darkness (I)
The Dao Opening Sect will not allow anything to happen to the Yu Clan, but they still need to be able to hold their weight. Additionally, after their departure, something like this patent was enough to cause a fallout between these two factions, so Wang Wei wanted to be prepared.
"Now I feel left out," said Wang Chang; these people were planning their reign as Heavenly Emperor, which made him realize he might be the only non-Heavenly Emperor in the family. And even if he becomes one, who knows how long in the future.
Wang Tian placed his hands on his father's shoulder and gave him more drinks. "Drown your sorrow with the wine." Wang Chang wanted to beat his son; what kind of weird method of reassurance was this?
"What? Can't hold your liquor, old man?"
Wang Chang saw the veins popping on his forehead. "Okay, let's see who can't drink."
"That's more like it," said Wang Tian. "Come on, son. Let's compete."
"I'm good," replied Wang Wei while giving him hints with his eyes. Today was about his mother. If these idiots get too drunk, who knows what they will do and say and possibly ruin things? Sadly, they were already too drunk to notice or realize.
"You're boring," said Wang Tian before drinking with his father. Wang Wei looked at his mother, "I will stop them in time."
"Don't worry about it; let them enjoy themselves. After all, you will only share your secret staff without reservation on such rare occasions." Yu Yan did not mind as she also enjoyed her drinks at a more moderate pace.
"It's been a while since we got together and truly relaxed," she continued. "We have been so busy with our lives and goals. I missed the old days."
"I do, too," nodded Wang Wei.
"When do you think we will truly have peace and tranquility?" asked Yu Yan.
"Probably after truly reaching beyond the pinnacle of this universe," replied Wang Wei. "But even then, we might have different troubles."
"A sad truth, but a truth nonetheless," sighed Yu Yan.
"I sense you're a little sad. Is it because we can't go back to the past?"
"That's not it," replied Yu Yan. "I missed my mother and father. I always dreamt they would see the day I became an Emperor. It's unfortunate."
"Affecting my senses with darkness? Aren't you underestimating me too much?" sneered Ao Shen as he used his power to see through this darkness.
"Little dragon," said a voice that echoed through the darkness; it seemed to originate simultaneously everywhere and at one specific point. "The darkness is merely a passing point in your life; your true passion and desire is chaos. So, how could you deal with someone who was raised by it, molded by it, and reveled in all its intricacies?"
"Molded by darkness? You were a housewife all your life, but you dare make such a bold claim?" Ao Shen opened his mouth to fire a powerful beam that would collapse this world of darkness.
Unfortunately, his effort was futile. A powerful force hit him in the face, bending the armor on his face before sending him flying away, and before he reached far, he received thousands of attacks.
[Assimilation]
Ao Shen reacted swiftly as he used his own Darkness Grand Dao Source to assimilate with his opponent, trying to use her power for his.
"My analysis of you was correct, little dragon," Yu Yan's voice echoed. "Don't you know there are different kinds of darkness?"
Ao Shen soon knew the meaning of these words. As he assimilated with her darkness, his soul was immediately assaulted by what he could only describe as the darkness of darkness. Darkness, at its essence, is only the absence of light, but other things are associated with it: sins, negative emotions, fears, and myriad other things.
He then realized his opponent's darkness was divided into two parts: the purest part was used to isolate all his senses, while the other aspect served as a trap for when he tried to assimilate.
'She completely read me,' thought Ao Shen as he used his Dao Will and Will Manifestation to protect his soul and spirit. 'She immediately saw how my usage of Darkness was not as pure as her because of my Chaos Bloodline and used that against me.'
[Darkness Swallow]
Ao Shen's chest emanated a powerful devouring power, allowing him to swallow or devour his opponent's World of Darkness swiftly.
"It seems I have to take this battle more seriously," he commented, looking her in the eyes.
"That is the bare minimum respect you should have shown me as an opponent. Sadly, you only saw the mother of the Heavenly Emperor before you."
"You're right, and I apologize for that." Ao Shen directly acknowledged his mistake. He had been so caught up in the world's politics that he had made such an obvious blunder. Since she's an opponent of equal strength, he should not have any reservations and go all out.
Without hesitation, he transformed into a colossal dragon covered in black armor.
"Now, I can use all my strength," he declared boldly.
"You're not the only one with a noble bloodline," rebutted Yu Yan before activating her Pseudo Human Fiendgod Bloodline(still needs to reach 11th revolution), and her body grew to the same size as Ao Shen, along with tattoos on her right arms that resembled tribal markings.
"This fight might be more interesting than I originally thought," commented Ao Shen.
"I feel the same."
