1058 Battle of Darkness (II)

[Demon Heart of Darkness]

Ao Shen's eyes turned blood-red as he used a technique to absorb all the negative emotions of his kind since ancient times. The demon has suffered immensely under the oppression of the human race, so the amount of negative emotions they produced over countless eras could not be described in simple words, and it brought the prideful dragon a significant boost in strength.

'This technique,' thought Yu Yan, who realized this was a Source Technique that gave him another 2% Boost. Additionally, she could tell this thing had much more potential for growth and development.

Bang!

Ao Shen's tail whipped her like she was an unproductive slave, breaking both sets of radius and ulna as she crossed her arms to block. Yu Yan immediately decided to distance herself from her opponent because she noticed the attack contained negative attacks that acted like corrosion, burning her skin, muscles, and flesh. In other words, her bones cracked due to the attack's force while she had to worry about the passive corrosion.

Luckily, she was not so battle-deficient and prevented her opponent's Dao Will and Will Manifestation from entering her body.

Ao Shen would not give her the distance she wanted, so he increased the speed of his tail attacks and used darkness to condense even more tails. Yu Yan evaded hundreds of them in less than a second, but she knew it was only a matter of time before she was overwhelmed.

She acted decisively by detaching her two limbs from her body, forcing them to act like missiles. They rushed out of their sockets and flew toward two of Ao Shen's tails at unspeakable speed.

Boom!

[Gravity Repulsion Bomb]

Yu Yan's arms turned into black holes as soon they touched the tails before releasing a potent gravitational wave that pushed her opponent away. This act granted the breathing room she needed to regenerate her limbs while also getting away from his direct attack range.

[The Soul's Light After Darkness]

A terrifying darkness enveloped Yu Yan's Sea of Consciousness. Such darkness should have withered the soul or spirit with its power derived from fear of the unknown, but it had another purpose: strengthening it. By resisting the power of darkness, her soul reached a level of purity unlike anything before, manifested by the immense light released to block the darkness.

Then, Yu Yan used a soul attack on her opponent.

This technique was quite efficient on Ao Shen for a few reasons. One of his weaknesses is his ordinary soul, which Yu Yan knew and targeted. Secondly, she used her incomplete [Force Control Skill] to acquire an additional 2% Grand Dao Boost, thus elevating her power to the same level as the dragon.

[Illumination]

She raised her hand to manifest an intense light that dispersed any darkness-based technique in her surroundings.

"A Light Sub-Dao? Given your family, I should have expected as such," commented Ao Shen. "However, I'm still surprised. I thought you would be the kind that focuses on the purity of Darkness and would never be associated with Light Dao."

"How can I understand the essence of Darkness without profound knowledge of its antithesis," replied Yu Yan. She was not one of those swordsmen enamored with the idea of purity. So, light has always been one of her sub-dao - especially since her goal has always been to combine Light and Darkness Dao to establish the best foundation for the Yu Clan.

"The essence of darkness, huh? How about we see which of our darkness is the best."

"Fine by me."

Ao Shen immediately acted. A wave of darkness materialized around him: an old, even ancient, kind of darkness. One could describe this darkness as primal because it is the first form of darkness between Heaven and Earth. When Primordial Chaos had first formed and was slowly transitioning from a state of nothingness to a state of matter and energy, this was the form of darkness that existed; it could be argued as the first 'color' that ever existed in the universe.

Yu Yan did not want to be outdone as she released her darkness. It was not as ancient as her opponent, but it had its characteristics: eternal or everlasting. Before the universe materialized, darkness was prescient, and when it eventually ends, darkness will still exist - darkness is eternal.

The two different types of darkness clashed, turning the Void Battlefield into a black-and-white world. If this battle had occurred outside, the Myriad Emperor World would have been plunged into an incomprehensible darkness, scaring all sentient beings.

The clash ended with Ao Shen returning to his human shape and Yu Yan floating in the void with a pale face.

"You won," she said.

"That may be so, but your darkness still trumps mine," replied Ao Shen. He was the final victor because of his strength, but the essence of his darkness was not on par with hers. It's understandable since, as she said, his heart was in his Chaos Bloodline.

"A win is a win," said Yu Yan with a smile. She thanked him for the fight before disappearing.

Heavenly Court:

"What do you think?" asked Yu Yan.

"It was a great fight," replied Wang Wei.

"No need to sugarcoat it. Tell me the truth."

"Your battle experience is shoddy compared to the top genius of my generation," replied Wang Wei directly, not mincing his words.
