Perfect World: Sword of Legends

Chapter 196 The Strange Origin of Darkness

In the foreign land, the sky was also filled with blood, lightning flashed across the sky, blood rained down in torrents, and a sad mood spread.

Countless creatures were startled by the sudden appearance of the bloody phenomenon. The royal family, the imperial family, and the strong men of various clans all had solemn expressions and looked at the sky in disbelief.

Such a horrifying vision has not appeared for a long time.

"A supreme strong man has fallen!"

Some old antiques who had lived longer were shocked. They recognized it at a glance. This was a vision of the fall of the Immortal King. Even the universe was mourning.

"How is it possible?! Who is it? Which ancient ancestor has had an accident?"

Many people were extremely panicked and could not believe that the Immortal King would fall.

The ancient era of immortals has become the past and history. In this era, the Immortal King is invincible. How could he fall?

boom!
Terrifying gazes appeared in the fairylands all over the foreign lands. Supreme pressure swept across heaven and earth, causing countless creatures to kneel down and worship in one direction.

"This aura... is from Fellow Daoist An Lan!"

The strange phenomenon of the Immortal King's fall eventually alarmed many Immortal Kings in foreign lands. They immediately knew who had fallen.

"An Lan! Ah, why is it you!"

Suddenly, an angry roar was heard from an immortal king, Yuta.

He also learned the news of An Lan's death and was shocked. He never thought that An Lan would die outside.

As Yu Tuo's roar spread, all the creatures in the alien land knew that the Immortal King An Lan had fallen.

This is the first time in this era that an Immortal King has fallen, and it is An Lan.

"How could it be that the one who fell was Ancient Ancestor Anlan?!"

Many people find it hard to believe who An Lan is. He is the invincible immortal king who had achieved enlightenment in the ancient era of immortals, but he suddenly died, leaving people with no idea why.

"Alas, my ominous premonition has finally come true. I didn't expect that it was Daoist An Lan who verified it for us."

"It seems that Daoist An Lan's death was caused by that person. It is hard to imagine that a newly promoted Immortal King could actually kill Daoist An Lan."

"So terrifying! He is the first person in history who has just become an Immortal King and killed a strong man of the same level."

"From this we can see how terrifying the sword art he created is. This is an unprecedented enemy..."

The immortal kings who had previously joined Yu Tuo in attacking Yun Ying expressed their feelings that An Lan’s death made them even more worried.

If they had not taken action and had not established that cause and effect relationship with Yun Ying, they would not have been like this.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs and no regret medicine in this world. All they can do now is to be alert and take precautions.

Judging from Yun Ying's deeds, she is a person who will avenge herself if she has any grudges, and she acts without any scruples. It is not impossible that one day she will do something that will cause someone to come and kill her.

Even if it doesn't happen now, they can't guarantee that Yunying won't do it in the future.

"I've really gotten into a lot of trouble..."

Several Immortal Kings exchanged some words, and then soon fell silent.

As for An Lan, let him die. As the saying goes, a fellow Taoist would rather die than let himself die. It is impossible for them to avenge An Lan.

"What exactly happened? Why did Fellow Daoist Yu Tuo and Fellow Daoist An Lan die?"

The other Immortal Kings didn't understand what was going on and asked about it.

Yu Tuo was silent, his eyes were red, immersed in grief.

He and An Lan can be considered good brothers, and he is also responsible for An Lan's death. If he had not thought that way at the time and had not trusted An Lan so much, he would have gone to support him.

At worst, he would go to support An Lan, so that An Lan would not die.

Seeing An Lan's grief-stricken look, the other Immortal Kings looked at each other and realized that something was wrong.

However, since Yu Tuo didn't want to tell the truth, they wouldn't ask any further questions. An Lan didn't have a close relationship with them anyway, so his death wouldn't affect them.

At best, they were just curious about who killed An Lan.

They had some understanding of An Lan. His strength was not weak among the immortal kings in foreign lands. He was only second to the oldest and most powerful giants.

If someone wants to kill An Lan, the enemy must be a big shot.

"Didn't they lead a large army to attack the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? Could it be that An Lan died in the Abyss?"

Those immortal kings who have been in seclusion for a long time and have not cared about worldly affairs speculated.

"Then why is Yu Tuo okay? Didn't they go together? And they invited other people. How could they watch An Lan die in Tianyuan? There must be a great enemy."

"There are too many suspicious points about An Lan's death. It must be related to Yu Tuo and the others."

Many immortal kings immediately denied their previous speculations.

"Forget it, it's better for us not to wade into this muddy water. Even the arrogant An Lan is dead. If we get involved without knowing the reason, nothing good will happen."

Soon, the immortal kings no longer paid attention to this matter.

At this time, the ancestral land of the Anlan clan was filled with sorrow.

The death of An Lan was like the falling of the sky for the members of the An Lan clan. Without the Immortal King in charge, their name as an imperial clan was no longer worthy of its name.

"How could this be? Ancient Ancestor, how could you die?"

In the main hall, the quasi-immortal king of the Anlan clan howled to the sky with red eyes, unable to accept the fact that Anlan had fallen.

"What is going on? I want to see Yutuo Guzu and get the truth!"

After roaring, the quasi-immortal king left his ancestral land and went to find Yu Tuo.

Half a day passed, and many people saw the quasi-immortal king of the Anlan clan walking out from Yu Tuo in a daze, as if he knew something.

"What did the adults of the Anlan clan know?"

"It should be the truth behind the fall of Anlan Ancient Ancestor..."

This aroused the curiosity of many people. Why did the quasi-immortal king look so distraught? Was it because the enemy who killed An Lan was too terrifying?
Immediately afterwards, a piece of news came out, shocking the entire foreign land.

The person who killed An Lan was the executioner, and she also became a powerful Immortal King. Moreover, the millions of troops sent by foreign lands were all slaughtered by her.

"How could it be her?!"

Upon hearing the news, countless creatures in foreign lands felt incredible.

It hasn't been long since then, and the executioner has become so powerful, becoming the Supreme Immortal King, and even forcefully killing the ancient ancestor Anlan.

"He is just a newly promoted Immortal King, but he can actually go against the flow and attack us. This is too outrageous!"

Too many people didn't dare to believe it, thinking it was just a rumor with no truth at all and completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"The most outrageous thing is that she became an Immortal King at such a young age. Throughout history, there has never been such a person who defies the heavens. My grandson should be older than that executioner!"

"Yes, this is the most frightening thing. Could she be the Son of Heaven..." The news that Yun Ying had suddenly become the Immortal King swept across the entire foreign land like a storm.

Whether ordinary people or royal and imperial families, they were all extremely shocked by this, because the first Immortal King born in this era appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Although there were people in the foreign land who became immortals and entered the realm of immortality in this era, they were far inferior to Yun Ying becoming the Immortal King.

Whether it is the Immortal King or the Immortal King, it may not be possible to give birth to one even after several epochs.

Not to mention how good the cultivation environment in the foreign land is, the heaven and earth are complete, and the great way is flawless. Even so, it is difficult to give birth to an immortal king.

This shows how difficult it is to become the immortal king.

And in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that had been beaten to pieces, an Immortal King was suddenly born, and he was so young and so powerful.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the foreign land.

Moreover, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths now have the Immortal King in charge. Can the foreign lands still easily suppress the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as before?

This is obviously impossible. With Tianyuan as the strongest line of defense and an Immortal King, it is enough to prevent alien creatures from ever daring to cross the line again.

"We have killed millions of soldiers, and even our ancient ancestor Anlan has perished. How can we explain this to the people of the world?"

Many people are also extremely angry about this.

In just a few years, countless cultivators died in foreign lands, including supreme powerful ones, all of whom were buried in foreign lands. Millions of cultivators were wiped out, which was enough to cause a gap in the cultivators of foreign lands.

The pressure of public opinion soon came upon the Immortal King Yu Tuo and the Anlan clan.

Even if An Lan died, his clansmen still could not escape the criticism and were held responsible for the deaths of so many monks.

"That's enough. I will give you an explanation!"

It was not until Yu Tuo's scolding shook the entire foreign land that those people calmed down.

When the Immortal King speaks, no one dares to disobey and can only obey.

However, even though Yu Tuo used his power to suppress others, he lost something permanently.

From this day on, the atmosphere in the foreign land became a little weird. All the immortal kings could feel it, but they could do nothing about it.

On the other hand, what Yun Ying didn’t know was that because of her actions, the hearts of the alien creatures were no longer united.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged there, with a blood pill floating in front of her eyes, shining with immortal light and showing five colors. Chaotic energy was flowing, immortal symbols were flashing, and supreme aura was filling the air.

This is the product obtained after Yun Ying continuously refined An Lan's body, condensing all the physical essence of an immortal king.

If such a blood pill were fed to a quasi-immortal king, it would probably directly create a true immortal king.

"I can only feel the sacredness, where is the darkness?"

Yun Ying looked at the blood pill, raised her eyebrows slightly, then activated the fire of the Great Dao to refine it more vigorously.

As time passed, the blood pill began to condense and become smaller and smaller, and all its essence dissipated.

However, although the essence of the blood pill was dissipating, it never disappeared completely. Gradually, a hint of black color emerged.

As this hint of black emerged, an extremely cold and strange aura spread out.

The Dao fire burned fiercely, and countless Dao symbols shone brightly, but they could not do anything about the pitch-black color.

It even seemed that the dark color wanted to devour and assimilate everything around it.

"What a strange dark power!"

Yun Ying's eyes glowed and suddenly became blazing. The immortal symbols rushed up and submerged the black color. The sword chanted melodiously, and a sharp edge that could destroy everything emerged.

The black light was torn apart, and Yun Ying saw the pitch-black body.

It was a very thin strand of black substance, as crystal clear as jade, just like an ordinary person's hair, but it looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

Yun Ying's mind moved, the sound of the sword became more passionate, and the unparalleled sword edge slashed towards the black substance.

A scene that surprised Yunying happened.

She saw that the sharpness of her sword did not even cut through the black substance, as if it had cut through a very flexible steel wire.

This is incredible. Yun Ying knows better than anyone how powerful the Sword God Dao she created is.

The way of the sword god is indestructible and can break anything, no matter if it is a tangible or intangible object, it can be cut down.

Even time, space, the rules of heaven and earth, order, and even the Tao can be cut off by her sword.

But now, her sword was unable to cut through such a strand of black substance as thin as a hair, which really surprised Yun Ying.

"Could this be the so-called power of the origin of darkness?"

Yun Ying stared at the wisp of black substance with a hint of seriousness in her eyes. There was actually something in this world that her sword divine dao could not cut through.

Where on earth did this dark power come from? If it was the Dark Avenue, one of the myriad ways of heaven and earth, then it would have been cut through by Yun Ying's sword god's way long ago.

“Could it be that… this dark origin power does not belong to this world? In this case, it naturally does not belong to the Ten Thousand Daos.”

After thinking for a long time, a bright light appeared in Yun Ying's eyes, and she was surprised at her bold guess.

"Out-of-this-world power?!"

Looking at this wisp of dark matter, Yun Ying spoke each word with great pause, her heart filled with turbulent waves.

She didn't expect that there were powers in this world that did not belong to this world.

"Yes, only a power beyond this world can easily give birth to so many supreme beings. They don't need to operate according to the laws of nature in this world and are not bound by the laws of nature."

It took a long time for Yun Ying to calm down, and she realized how terrifying this dark power was.

"But where does this dark power come from?"

Soon, Yun Ying thought of this problem again. Could it be that there was a loophole in this world, allowing the power from outside the world to infiltrate?

"If it's because of the ancient artifact, then where did the ancient artifact come from?"

Thinking in this way, Yun Ying felt that he had gone back to the original question, the legend of the Emperor.

This terrifying dark origin power is most likely related to the legendary Emperor.

In the end, if you want to know the source of the original power of darkness, you still have to follow the footsteps of the Emperor, or become the Emperor.

"It seems that the answer lies in those two ancient artifacts."

Yun Ying pondered for a long time. She felt that she should start with the ancient artifacts from foreign lands and burial sites.

"In this case, sooner or later I will have to go to a foreign land."

Taking a deep breath, Yun Ying already had an idea. She wanted to go to a foreign land to snatch the ancient artifact of origin, open it and see if the things inside contained the power of the origin of darkness, or if there were any items directly related to the Emperor.

As long as she saw what was inside, many of her guesses would be confirmed.
