I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

The dark sea gradually calmed down.

After the annihilating ray of light, powerful enough to end everything, dissipated, the entire space fell into an unprecedented deathly silence.

The shattered void slowly healed, and the surging darkness gradually subsided, as if the earth-shattering battle just now was nothing but a dream.

The Night Falcon had fallen into a complete coma.

The countless cracks around his body were shocking, and his entire body was stained with blood. He was extremely weak, clearly indicating that the aftereffects of forcibly activating the Dark Ancestral Symbol after eliminating Night Emperor had fully manifested.

Just then.

hum!
Deep within the Dark Sea, as if sensing something, the indescribably majestic ancient body of the Night God suddenly trembled slightly.

The tremor was extremely slight, yet it was like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, instantly creating endless ripples!
The entire dark sea began to boil, and countless ancient runes drifted out from the ancient body, like stars in the sky, slowly rotating, flowing, and converging!
The runes seemed to have a life of their own; they intertwined and entwined in the air, eventually transforming into a dazzling black ribbon of light that slowly drifted down toward the direction of the night falcon!
Outside the secret realm, on the main grandstand, everyone held their breath.

"Look! The Night God Ancient Body... it's actually reacting!"

"It's actively approaching the night falcon!"

"Oh my god! Is this...is this a sign of approval?!"

"The Night God Ancient Body, this is the supreme Dharma Body of my Black Heaven Ancient Clan, one of the five primordial Dharma Bodies in the Great Thousand World. Could it be that he is really going to find his master this time?"

"Night Falcon, it's actually Night Falcon! I never expected that a member of a collateral branch of the clan would gain the recognition of the Night God Ancient Body!"

……

In an instant, exclamations rose and fell, and countless eyes were fixed on the light screen, afraid of missing any detail.

The significance of the Night God Ancient Body to every member of the Black Sky Ancient Clan is self-evident. Now, after tens of thousands of years, the Night God Ancient Body has chosen a master again, which is sure to shock them.

The dark sky and the dark earth, hanging high in the void, were both silent at this moment for some unknown reason.

Their gazes pierced through the light barrier and landed on the figure slowly enveloped by a black band of light.

At this moment, the two were more focused on the key to why the Night Falcon was able to gain the recognition of the Night God Ancient Body.

"Dark Ancestral Symbol." The Black Sky Clan Chief's thoughts slowly resonated, carrying a hint of unfathomable depth and lingering doubt.

"Is it the incredibly pure power of darkness that attracted the attention and recognition of the Night God Ancient Body?" The Black Earth Clan Chief's thoughts responded, equally solemn and surprised.

The two Saint-level Heavenly Sovereigns remained silent for a moment.

After a while, Hei Tian's thoughts rang out again: "The Dark Ancestral Symbol within this child's body is powerful and of dubious origin."

As far as I know, there is only one Dark Ancestral Symbol in the entire world, which has already been obtained by Lin Dong, the Martial Ancestor of the Martial Realm.

This child's Dark Ancestral Symbol, the power of the dark origin is so pure, where did it come from?

"Could it be a replica?" Hei Di said, "But a replica could never possibly contain such terrifying dark power."

"Perhaps... it was bestowed by the Martial Ancestor? Or perhaps it was obtained from some ancient ruin?" Hei Tian pondered, muttering, "Could this Night Falcon have some connection to the Martial Realm?"

"But in any case, the fact that this young man possesses such a treasure yet has managed to hide it until now shows just how profound his character is."

Black Earth narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of amusement in them: "Black Sky, do you doubt his identity?"

"So what if I have doubts?" Hei Tian said calmly, his expression deep.

"This child is not a direct descendant of the clan, but a collateral descendant who joined the clan through the Black Netherworld. I have already ordered an investigation, and his original family has been tragically wiped out."

In other words, apart from a single token, no one in the entire world can prove this person's identity. Isn't that strange?

Upon hearing this, Kuroji's expression also became slightly solemn. In that case, the appearance of the Night Falcon was indeed extremely strange, with an incredibly mysterious background and methods.

Upon closer reflection, the Night Falcon's infiltration and scheming within the Black Sky Ancient Clan over the past few years seem more like a painstakingly planned scheme to get closer to the Night God Ancient Body.

"So what should we do now? Charge into the secret realm and forcibly interrupt his contact with the Night God Ancient Body?" Hei Di asked in a deep voice.

Hei Tian shook his head and said, "After the Night Mystic Realm opens, no one above the Heavenly Sovereign level can enter. That's why those who go in for training are always young experts below the Heavenly Sovereign level."

Moreover, the fact that the Ancient Body of the Night God is healing the Night Falcon is a first in tens of thousands of years, and it is unlikely to happen again in the next ten thousand years.

"Don't worry, but if he truly gains the Ancient Body's approval, then he will be one of our people. The Night God Ancient Body chooses its master based not on birth, but only on aptitude and character."

He paused, his tone revealing an indescribable confidence: "Besides, with the two of us, even if he really has some ulterior motives, what waves can he possibly make?"

"Having joined my Black Heaven Ancient Clan and obtained the Night God Ancient Body, he is now connected to our clan's destiny. At that point, even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to."

After a moment of silence, Kurodi slowly said, "Indeed, then... let's continue watching."

The gazes of the two Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns returned to the light screen.

In that gaze, there was scrutiny, expectation, and a hint of... certainty.

In the dark sea, the Night Falcon remained unconscious.

The black band of light, formed from countless ancient runes, slowly drifted down and eventually enveloped him completely.

The runes, as if alive, gently touched the countless shocking cracks around his body. With each touch, a wisp of pure, dark essence seeped into them.

The cracks began to heal slowly.

The night falcon's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

He didn't know how much time had passed... perhaps a moment, perhaps ten thousand years, before he slowly opened his eyes.

Before me stood the ancient form of the Night God, so majestic it defied description.

It hovered quietly in front of him, no more than a hundred feet away.

Gazing up at this supreme Dharma body, passed down from ancient times, at such close range, the Night Falcon felt an indescribable sense of awe.

It is a kind of awe that comes from the instinct of life, an instinctive reaction when facing beings at a higher level than oneself.

But at the same time, the nearly depleted Dark Ancestral Symbol deep within his Supreme Sea trembled slightly.

The tremor was extremely slight, yet it carried an indescribable...joy.

It's like a wanderer returning home, like a weary bird returning to its nest.

A thought struck the Night Falcon.

He slowly stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread wide, his palm facing the majestic ancient body of the Night God.

next moment!
hum!
The ancient body of the Night God suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant light!
Countless ancient runes surged forth from its body, like billions of stars exploding simultaneously, illuminating the entire dark sea!
The light was so intense that it pierced through the secret realm, through the light barrier, and soared straight into the heavens!
Outside the secret realm, everyone was startled to their feet by this sudden and strange phenomenon!

"This is... an acceptance?!"

"The Ancient Body of Night God has recognized the Night Falcon?!"

"My God! He actually did it!"

……

Elder Heiming was so excited that he trembled all over and tears streamed down his face.

He opened his mouth, but found himself too excited to speak.

Elder Heiyuan slowly stood up, his aged face filled with complex emotions of joy and relief.

As an ancient monster who had lived for countless years, he murmured like a child, "Night Falcon... What a Night Falcon... I never thought that after tens of thousands of years, the Ancient Body of the Night God could reappear in the world!"

Meanwhile, Black Heaven and Black Earth, suspended high in the void, nodded slightly at the same time. As Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns, their eyes also showed undisguised fluctuations and surprise.

"It's done. I didn't expect him to actually succeed." Hei Tian thought to himself, a hint of surprise and satisfaction in his voice.

"Indeed, that Dark Ancestral Symbol is extremely similar to the Dark Origin of the Night God Ancient Body." Hei Di sighed, "His ability to gain recognition is truly a stroke of good fortune."

The gazes of the two Saint-rank Heavenly Sovereigns pierced through the light barrier and landed on the figure that was being enveloped in endless light.

In that gaze, there was scrutiny, doubt, and also a hint of... indescribable expectation.

……

In the dark sea, the night falcon silently hovers in the void.

His wounds had completely healed, and his vital energy was recovering at a visible speed.

The countless ancient runes, like living things, continuously flowed into his body, resonating and merging with the dark ancestral symbol deep within his Supreme Sea.

He could feel an unprecedented power slowly forming within him.

That was the power of the Night God Ancient Body.

It is merging with him.

He closed his eyes, letting that force wash over his body, his soul, and everything about him.

At this moment, he was no longer the last survivor of the Shadow Clan, no longer the Night Falcon under Elder Black Nether, and no longer the undercover agent lurking within the Black Sky Ancient Clan.

He is the inheritor of the Night God Ancient Body!
And when he fully merges with the Ancient Body of the Night God, he will be the king of darkness… (End of Chapter)
