Chapter 601: Darkness Master
Xiao Ming understood the situation when he saw Yuan Qian deep in thought. This was most likely the work of the Plane Spirit, probably intended to pave the way for Lin Dong, the Child of the Plane.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to delay things until now. The relationship between Green Dragon King Qing Zhi and Mo Luo of the Chaotic Demon Sea, who was also the controller of the Blazing Ancestral Symbol, was quite good. Mo Luo was also dedicated to combating the Yimo. He wouldn't have refused such a request.
In the original story, they had chosen Lin Dong, who had lower strength for this task, which made it hard to believe that the World Will was not involved.
However, whether it was influenced by external forces or not no longer mattered now that he was here.
"I'll go down and take a look. You guys wait here and don't move," Xiao Ming said.
With that, his figure moved, turning into a streak of light that plunged directly into the sea of Demonic Qi. As the Demonic Qi surged, his figure vanished in an instant.
"He's going down just like that?" Yuan Qian and the others sighed as they watched this scene. Xiao Ming was indeed worthy of being a Half-Ancestor Stage practitioner. They couldn't just charge down without any protection like him. Even if they had protection, except for Yuan Qian, the others wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Such a strong person had taken the initiative to come and offer help. It was truly a stroke of good luck!
...
Swoosh!
In the endless sea of Demonic Qi, a streak of light swiftly flew through. Wherever it passed, the surrounding Demonic Qi would crazily corrode, but whenever this Demonic Qi came in contact with the figure, it would burst with a hissing sound and evaporate completely.
The figure's speed was unbelievably fast. It didn't take long for him to pass through the dense, viscous sea of Demonic Qi.
His originally blurry vision suddenly became clear after his body left the sea. What appeared in front of the figure within the surrounding Demonic Sea, which turned out to be Xiao Ming, was an endless light barrier of darkness covered with dark symbols.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
This light barrier appeared to be a massive formation. Unfortunately, this light barrier currently had some dark cracks on it. As a result, waves of Demonic Qi were constantly seeping out from within and flowing into the Devil Sea above.
As Xiao Ming's gaze pierced through the light barrier of darkness, he was able to see densely packed black towers floating within.
Around each black tower were many incomparably huge black chains. These chains stretched out to connect one dark tower to another. The surface of these black chains was all covered with ancient symbols, and an extremely powerful ripple emanated from them.
Even after tens of thousands of years, her imposing aura remained, and even the formidable and terrifying Yimo would tremble before her.
However, as this pressure reached Xiao Ming, it abruptly dissipated into nothingness.
The delicate figure on the throne slowly lowered her head in response. Xiao Ming's body was fixed in her icy, pitch-black eyes.
"You have some strength, but no matter who you are, those who try to break into the prison will die!"
As the word "die" fell from the Darkness Master's lips, several massive black chains swiftly pierced through the void. They were accompanied by an overflowing murderous intent as they shot towards Xiao Ming with lightning-like speed.
"It's not good to be so hot-tempered."
Xiao Ming saw the Darkness Master launch a brutal attack upon their first meeting and raised an eyebrow slightly. Flames appeared at his fingertips, and with a flick of his finger, the black chains burst open violently in the next instant.
Ripples spread through the space around him. The next moment, his figure appeared in front of the throne, looking down on the Darkness Master sitting on it.
The Darkness Master realized that she had met a tough opponent when she saw this scene. Her eyes hardened, and just as she was about to make another move, she found Xiao Ming's finger pressing against her forehead, causing her to lose control of her body.
'Damn it, this person's strength is even greater than my junior sister's! Where did this monster come from?' The Darkness Master found herself immobilized and was shaken to the core. The entire encounter had lasted only a moment, yet she had already been subdued.
"Heh heh, now you can calm down a bit."
Xiao Ming joked after subduing the Darkness Master. He took a moment to size up the figure in front of him. She was a woman clad in sleek black armor with long flowing hair. Her features were delicate, and her eyes were pure black, radiating a deep darkness that wasn't evil, but rather exceptionally deep.
"Who are you?" The Darkness Master struggled for a moment, but when she realized that it was useless, she raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner.
"Desolation, come out and explain," Xiao Ming called out to the tablet spirit to explain this matter.
The ancient figure of the tablet spirit suddenly appeared within the Devil Suppressing Prison as the yellow light gathered.
The Dark Master was taken aback on the throne. There was an additional trace of bewilderment in her voice, "Desolation? You didn't die? How are you here? And who is he?"
