I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

In the depths of the dark sea, silence reigns eternal.

The night falcon hovered in the void, its body enveloped by countless layers of ancient runes.

The runes moved slowly, like living things. With each movement, a wisp of pure, dark essence seeped into his body, fusing with his spiritual power, flesh, bones, and even the depths of his soul in some indescribable way.

This is the inheritance of the Night God Ancient Form.

It's not a simple gift, but a true integration.

The night falcon closed its eyes, its consciousness immersed in an endless darkness.

The darkness was warm and profound, as if he had returned to the womb, or as if he had merged into the origin of the universe. He could feel that he was undergoing a transformative metamorphosis.

The physical body is disintegrating and then rebuilding.

The meridians are breaking down, and then they are being reshaped.

The spiritual energy is depleting, yet it is being reborn.

Every collapse and reconstruction is accompanied by unbearable pain.

But the night falcon gritted its teeth, stubbornly clinging to its last shred of clarity.

He knew this was the inevitable path; to receive the crown, one must bear its weight.

Time flowed slowly in the darkness.

One day.

January.

One year.

……

In the dark sea, there is neither sun nor moon, and the night falcon has long lost its concept of time.

All he knew was that the changes within his body were progressing slowly but steadily toward some unknown destination.

The nearly depleted Dark Ancestral Symbol had now completely merged into the depths of his Supreme Sea, transforming into a slowly rotating dark vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a miniature phantom of the ancient form of the Night God could be vaguely seen, sitting cross-legged, closely connected to his natal soul.

And his cultivation level also increased at an astonishing speed during this process!
Earthly Supreme Great Perfection Early Stage, Earthly Supreme Great Perfection Peak Stage, Half-Step Heavenly Supreme!
By the end of the first year of the fusion process, his cultivation had steadily reached the level of touching the Heavenly Sovereign, just one step away from the legendary Heavenly Sovereign realm.

But this last step is also the most difficult.

The night falcon was not impatient.

He calmed his mind and allowed the primal power originating from the ancient body of the Night God to continue to cleanse his body.

He knew that letting things take their natural course was the right way, and it was also the key moment for him to truly integrate with the Night God Ancient Body.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, the second year had arrived.

One day in the following year, an unprecedented and violent tremor suddenly erupted from the depths of the Dark Sea!
The tremor originated from within the night falcon's body!
He suddenly opened his eyes!

In those pure black eyes, it seemed as if two complete universes were slowly rotating!

Billions of stars were born and died within it, and endless darkness flowed within it! His aura underwent a complete transformation at this moment!
No longer the supreme ruler of the land.

Instead... it's the peak of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme!

boom!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from his body!

The sheer power of that pressure forced the surrounding dark sea back tens of thousands of feet!

Countless ancient runes surged forth from his body, coalescing behind him into a towering phantom thousands of feet tall!

That phantom was exactly the same as the ancient form of the Night God!
It was clad in a jet-black robe, its eyes like an endless abyss of darkness, its face majestic as a god. It slowly opened its eyes, looking down at the dark sea below.

Those eyes held no joy or anger, no sorrow or happiness, only an indifference and majesty that seemed to transcend all living beings!

Dark King!
The true king of darkness!
The night falcon slowly rose to its feet.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation around him, and he was as calm as an ordinary person.

But this very calmness reveals an indescribable terror.

That's returning to simplicity, the demeanor of a true strong person.

He looked down at his hands, which were now flawless and even faintly glowed with a mysterious, dark luster.

That was a characteristic of the Night God's Ancient Body after its perfect fusion with his physical body; darkness was indestructible, and all laws could not penetrate it.

Feeling the immense power within him and finally obtaining the Ancient Body of the Night God, Night Falcon couldn't help but smile.

After nearly five years of infiltration into the Black Sky Ancient Clan, the ultimate goal has finally been achieved.

With the successful acquisition of the Night God Ancient Body, all that is needed is for the Tai Ling clone to take the Tai Ling Sacred Body into its possession, and then the original five great Dharma bodies will be complete, with the main body possessing four of them.

Finally, as long as the Infinite Light Body of the Maha Ancient Clan is taken down, then the original Mo Yu will be able to follow Mu Chen's path and advance to the Dominator Realm in one fell swoop!
As Night Falcon contemplated this, the exit of the secret realm slowly opened before him.

Seeing this, the Night Falcon slowly composed itself and then took a step forward.

He knew that although he had successfully obtained the Night God Ancient Body, the next steps—how to face the higher-ups of the Black Heaven Ancient Clan and how to leave the Black Heaven Ancient Clan smoothly—remained extremely challenging.

However, he was not afraid, for behind him stood a figure capable of making the entire world tremble: the Thunder Emperor Mo Yu, the Demon King Slayer of the East!

……

Outside the secret realm, on the main grandstand, everyone was waiting.

It's been two years.

It has been two full years since Night Falcon entered the land of the Night God's Ancient Body inheritance.

In the past two years, no movement has been heard from the secret realm, and the light curtain has been completely plunged into darkness.

No one knows what happened inside, no one knows whether the night falcon is dead or alive.

Only the ancient projection of the Night God, still suspended high in the void, occasionally flickers with a faint light, proving that the inheritance continues.

Elder Heiming sat in a corner of the main stands, looking much older in the past two years.

He guarded this place day and night, never leaving it, waiting for the young man he had discovered to emerge alive from the secret realm.

Today, everything will be revealed.

hum!
At the entrance to the secret realm, the gate of light that had been silent for two years suddenly trembled slightly!
Then, the gate of light slowly opened!

A figure slowly walked out from the portal of light!

At that moment, everyone in the main stands stood up!
What did they see?
They spotted a night falcon!

He's alive!

He emerged from the secret realm!

But what truly shocked them was not that he was still alive, but the aura he exuded at that moment.

It was a terror that words could not describe!
He walked quietly like that, without any fluctuation of spiritual energy around him, or even the slightest hint of aura emanating from him.

But the moment he stepped out of the gate of light, all the light in the world seemed to be drawn to his figure and involuntarily converged on him!

The entire void of darkness seemed to be worshipping him and submitting to him!
Supreme Being!
The true supreme being!

Moreover, he was not an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign; he was a Heavenly Sovereign who had fused with the Ancient Body of the Night God, a true Dark King!
Elder Heiming suddenly stood up, tears streaming down his face, his whole body trembling.

He opened his mouth, but found himself too excited to utter a single word.

The Black Abyss Ancestor also stood up, his aged face filled with shock and astonishment.

He murmured, "Heavenly Sovereign... Night God Ancient Body... This child... This child..."

He didn't finish speaking, because there was no need to say more.

Everyone was watching that figure, that figure who emerged from the secret realm, like a dark king.

And just then...

Two imposing figures, beyond description, slowly descended from the heavens!
Chief Black Sky!

Chieftain of the Black Earth!

The true forms of the two Saint-level Heavenly Sovereigns appeared simultaneously!
On the main stands, apart from a handful of people including the Black Abyss Ancestor, everyone held their breath and knelt on the ground.

No one dared to look up, no one dared to utter a sound.

Only those two towering figures, like two invisible mountains, suppressed the entire world.

Hei Tian's gaze instantly fell on the Night Falcon.

In that gaze, there was scrutiny, satisfaction, and also a hint of... an elusive depth and lingering doubt.

“Night Falcon.” His voice was deep and majestic, like the wrath of heaven, echoing in everyone’s ears.

"Where did you get that dark ancestral symbol from?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent!

Dark Ancestral Symbol?!
Legend has it that Lin Dong, the Martial Ancestor, who is the Lord of the Martial Realm and one of the top experts in the Great Thousand World, and who is on par with the Thunder Emperor Mo Yu and the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, possesses eight Ancestral Symbols, one of which is the Dark Ancestral Symbol.

This Night Falcon actually possesses the same Dark Ancestral Symbol as Martial Ancestor Lin Dong?

Is this a coincidence, or something else...?

Countless gazes fell upon the Night Falcon!
The Night Falcon raised its head and met the gazes of the two Saintly Heavenly Sovereigns who looked down upon all living beings.

There was no fear in his eyes, only an extreme calm and indifference.

After all, these two were once defeated by me.

He spoke slowly, but the moment he opened his mouth, the voice of the darkness rang out again.

"It doesn't matter where it comes from anymore."

He paused, and an indescribable light flashed in his dark eyes: "Now that you have merged with the Night God Ancient Body and become a Heavenly Supreme, you are a member of my Black Heaven Ancient Clan."

"Now, I ask you a question."

"Are you truly willing to join my Black Heaven Ancient Clan, to be personally appointed by the two of us, and to serve as an elder in the clan's Dark Guard?" (End of Chapter)
