บท 39: Eternal Darkness

Luo Tian carried them up to a hundred kilometers above the air before stopping.

"Which direction are we going?" He asked the middle-aged man.

The latter was just recovering from his shock of being suddenly taken flying. He accidentally opened his mouth but quickly closed it again.

He won himself over first before replying, "who are you really?"

Almost the same question, Luo Tian was about to answer with the same answer.

However, he suddenly felt his head throb violently.

'It's happening again,' he thought.

Before it was not very pronounced, but now it feels very clearly.

Right after he thought, his chest suddenly became heavy.

After that a gloomy feeling arose in his heart.

In fact, his red eyes were currently emitting a dark red light that made them appear like a blood red moon shining with a gloomy aura.

His always calm and relaxed face turned extremely cold, it was like an emotionless demon after slaughtering a civilization.

His mind was the last to be affected but it was also affected in the end. It felt like he had a different point of view or ideology.

If before he was still someone who differentiated between right and wrong, now he felt that everything was right as long as it was to his advantage.

As he looked at the four people in front of him, he somehow felt like he wanted to smack them in the face because they dared to doubt him.

He quickly entered the sword space, there was no doubt that the cause of it was there.

He appeared directly in front of the sword.

As soon as he saw what was happening, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"So it's this little thing that has caused a change in me."

He saw a wisp of dark energy float right above the sword.

The moment he saw it, he also felt connected to it as if it were a part of his body. Through his mind, he can move it.

"But, how did it come out?"

He stepped closer to the sword and studied the chains closely. He guessed there was a leak, but how did it suddenly leak?

He then controlled the wisps of dark energy to go down the chains.

When it reached the fourth chain, he finally found a very small hole.

No, it wasn't a hole, rather it was the mark of a hole, now it was closed again.

"Looks like it was the remnant of an attack. Who did it? Was it the Qin emperor?"

He could no longer put that dark energy into the sword, so it remained within that space.

'This should be sent out of here,' he thought.

He then pulled his consciousness out along with that dark energy.

However, just as the dark energy was about to leave the space, the chains suddenly emitted a light that instantly lit up the entire space.

After that Luo Tian saw a kind of shield with the shape of a ball, it enveloped the entire space.

"What, so this space is also sealed."

He suddenly remembered Yingyue's words, even the Qin Emperor couldn't find this space easily, maybe it was the ball shield that had hidden the existence of this space.

"But that seems to be just blocking that dark energy."

"In that case, if it can't be sent out of here, can it be annihilated?"

It was the only solution he could think of.

After that, he summoned Black Flame into the space.

The puppet did not ask for any instructions from him, after bowing to him, he then stared at that wisp of dark energy. In his hand appeared a wisp of black fire like ocean waves, it drowned out that dark energy, a sound like paper burning was heard within the fire, but Luo Tian who was connected to that dark energy found it didn't burn at all.

Black Flame also noticed it, after a while, he pulled the flame back into his body. He then said, "sorry master, my strength is not enough to destroy this dark energy."

"Are you able to estimate the power that can destroy this dark energy?"

"No, master, the moment my power came into contact with that dark energy, I felt that it was completely indestructible."

"Okay, you can go!"

After the puppet left, he stared at the wisps of dark energy again.

"Eternal Darkness," he said in a low voice.

He then came back out.

He didn't come to a definite conclusion, like, why did the dark energy suddenly manage to escape through those chains?

But, as time went on, he began to feel less bothered by the changes in himself. He was starting to feel as though that was how he was supposed to be.

He knew it was due to natural factors, it was like an angel who doesn't want to be polluted by evil or a devil who doesn't like good things.

After being tainted by darkness, he begins to dislike his true nature.

Luckily as someone who read a lot of books, his level of rationality was so high that he was still aware of who he was.

'But, if I don't follow my heart's desire, I will feel uncomfortable.'

He then looked at the four people in front of him, his eyes becoming even colder so that people who saw him wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly killed them.

"I'll ask you one more time, this time it's a little different, can you guys tell me about this world?"

After asking that question, he reached out his hand to grab the middle-aged man's neck.

"Are you going to talk to yourself, or do you want me to open your mouth privately?"

"...."
