Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

He further explained:

"This power is less than one-thousandth of the 'Mysterious Black Hole's' true form, but it is enough to help you sweep away any being below the Nebula Body Supreme in the Third Universe. I hope you will make good use of this power to break through the predicament, rather than relying on it. True strength must ultimately come from within."

Before the words were finished, an extremely faint yet strange energy imprint containing the meaning of endless devouring, returning to nothingness and ultimate annihilation crossed time and space and slowly merged into the core of the Whale Shark King's alien energy.

Although it was only a tiny fraction, the sheer supreme and terrifying power made the Whale Shark King's soul tremble, as if it had glimpsed the end of the universe.

He clearly felt the profundity and terror of that power, and boundless pride and confidence welled up in his heart.

He solemnly bestowed upon this power, a gift from Hades that symbolized both despair and the source of strength, a name upon himself:

"This technique shall be named—Black Sea Abyss!"

This will be his most powerful trump card to reverse his fate and lead his people to freedom!

It was also a power bestowed upon him by Hades, a power that combines trials and opportunities.

Having received personal guidance and power from Hades, the Whale Shark King slowly stood up.

At this moment, what burned in his eyes was not just the flame of resistance, but also a clear and unwavering belief in the path to becoming a strong person, and an infinite sense of control over his future destiny.

His journey will officially begin in this golden sea of ​​sand, and its destination will be the free sky where the whale shark clan's flag flies!

Chapter 28 Black and White, Exquisite Gray

Time flies, and after successively subduing Ye Lingyun and the Whale Shark King, three of the four guardians under Hades have been acquired.

The Lion King sits at the center of the underworld, directing the four directions.

Ye Lingyun is using his iron fist and wisdom to integrate the Cloud Bat Legion, building an invincible army that will strike fear into the hearts of all who hear of it in the future.

The Whale Shark King lies dormant in the boundless sands of the Third Universe, where, day after day, it accumulates a vast power capable of overturning fate and order in that golden purgatory.

As for the last protector, Qin Chuan already had a choice in mind, but he was not in a hurry to find him.

This is because the future protector is currently similar to his daughter Tianyu, still a child who needs time to grow, a rough gem waiting to be sculpted by time.

In the long years that followed, Qin Chuan's true form remained permanently in the deep and magnificent halls of the Underworld.

He accompanied Phoenix and Tianyu.

The eternal twilight light of the underworld shone through the towering window frames, bathing them in a warm golden glow, coating this rare moment of peace and warmth amidst the chaos of the world.

Meanwhile, his particle clone, which carries his will and power, remains in the seventh parallel universe, on that land covered in holiness and snow, carefully guiding the Wind Shadow's cultivation.

For him, teaching this child with a troubled background and special bloodline is not only a step in planning for the future, but also a rare comfort and hope in this long period of time.

Time passes unnoticed in the mountains; the passing of winter leaves one unaware of the years.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed, slipping away like sand through our fingers.

The time when the connection will occur once every 100,000 years, maintaining the balance of the seven parallel universes, is drawing ever closer.

The invisible barriers of spacetime began to ripple with subtle ripples that were imperceptible to ordinary people. Only a very few beings standing at the pinnacle of power could sense the silent tremors emanating from the grand laws of the universe.

On the edge of the Holy Realm, outside that remote village almost forgotten by the mainstream, the cold wind still howled, swirling up thousands of piles of snow.

Qin Chuan's particle clone stood quietly here, just as it had for every day of the past six years, silently watching the girl before him who had undergone a complete transformation.

Six years is enough time for a seed to sprout and for a naive and frail little girl to grow into an adult.

The once flamboyant Feng Ying has now blossomed into a graceful and slender woman, tall and agile. Her long-term rigorous training has given her smooth and explosive muscle lines.

The timidity between her brows had faded, replaced by a heroic spirit that rivaled any man's and a resilience honed through trials and tribulations.

The strange energy flowing around him was solid and surging, more than ten times stronger than it had been six years ago!

That was a qualitative change, a tempering process from ordinary iron to refined steel.

Under Qin Chuan's gaze, which held both satisfaction and scrutiny, Feng Ying took a deep breath of the icy air, calming the slight tension that arose in her heart due to her master's presence.

The ancient and mysterious power lock on her wrist, which she had obtained from her master, began to glow with a deep, eerie light.

"Super Beast Armed Forces - Mad Leopard God!"

With a deep, wild roar, as if a call from the ancient wilderness, the alien energy instantly boiled and took shape!

A super beast, the Mad Leopard God, with extremely smooth lines, covered in dark armor, with claws and teeth as sharp as divine weapons, and every design full of ultimate power and speed, has descended into this world!

Its massive body cast a shadow over the snow-covered ground, and the primal wildness and powerful pressure it exuded caused the surrounding air to stagnate and freeze.

After completing his armament, Fengying did not pause.

The Mad Leopard God's enormous claws, gleaming with a cold metallic light, suddenly clenched in the air. The surrounding light seemed to be drawn in and swallowed up, and a dark red alien energy filled with blood and pure killing intent rapidly condensed and compressed between her claws!

At the core of the energy, faint wails of vengeful spirits could even be heard.

"Blood Seal Calamity!"

With a sharp shout, the dark red blood seal, which contained immense destructive power, struck a small, isolated snow hill in the distance with unstoppable momentum, like a calamity meteor streaking across the sky!

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, releasing a torrent of violent energy!

The snow-covered hill could not even withstand the light for a moment before it crumbled and disintegrated in the blinding red light, completely leveled to the ground!

The terrifying aftershocks of energy spread out in a ring, evaporating and blasting away large swaths of snow, revealing the deep and ugly black permafrost below, leaving behind a shocking, enormous crater with wisps of steam rising from its edges.

After unleashing this signature and powerful technique, the ghostly light flashed again, and the enormous Mad Leopard God disintegrated and vanished into specks of light.

Fengying landed lightly on the ground, her boots crunching softly on the snow.

She clapped her hands, turned around and jogged to Qin Chuan, looking up at him.

Those deep eyes, which inherited the blood of the underworld, were now sparkling, filled with obvious anticipation and a hint of pride that was being suppressed but couldn't help but reveal, much like a child who had accomplished something remarkable and was eagerly awaiting praise from their closest loved ones.

Qin Chuan looked at her, his eyes indeed full of approval.

Over the past six years, Fengying's progress has been nothing short of phenomenal. The sweat he has shed, the tenacity he has displayed, and his combat comprehension have far exceeded what ordinary people can imagine.

She is a work he sculpted himself, and also an important mark he left in the Holy Realm.

However, his words were like a splash of ice water, instantly freezing the warm smile that had just bloomed on Feng Ying's face.

"Fengying, you have begun to understand the basics and have the strength to protect yourself and venture out into the world. Today is the day we, master and disciple, part ways."

Feng Ying was stunned, his mind blank as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Immediately, she was overwhelmed by immense panic and a surge of reluctance.

"Master! Why? Is there something I did wrong? Was my Blood Seal Calamity not powerful enough? Or was my control insufficient? I can work harder! I can practice more until you are satisfied!"

After six years of living and working together day and night, and more than a thousand days and nights of patient instruction and meticulous guidance, Qin Chuan's place in her heart had long surpassed that of a mere mentor.

He was more like another father who gave her new life, guided her in life, and tolerated all her rebellion and anxiety, or an older brother she could unconditionally trust and rely on.

She couldn't imagine what life would be like without her master's guidance and without this figure protecting her.

Seeing her eyes instantly redden and on the verge of tears, Qin Chuan felt a pang of reluctance and pity, but he knew that flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain, and fledglings must eventually leave the nest to soar through the sky.

His path was destined to be full of thorns and battles, and she, too, needed to find her own path.

He shook his head gently but firmly, his voice as steady as ever:

“You have done very well, very well. Whether it is the cultivation of alien energy or the mastery of combat skills, you have exceeded my initial expectations. It is precisely because you are good enough and strong enough that I feel at ease letting you go out and experience the storms of the outside world on your own, to see a wider world.”

He paused, his gaze calmly fixed on Feng Ying's eyes, which were filled with confusion and sadness. He decided to no longer conceal the truth that should have been revealed long ago, and slowly said:

"There is one more thing I should tell you. You have a portion of the blood of the underworld race flowing through your veins, which is part of the source of your power and the reason why you are different from others. And your master is the Dark King of the Underworld from the fifth parallel universe, as they call him."

This news, like a second, even more powerful thunderbolt, struck Feng Ying precisely once again, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly and stand frozen in place.

Her eyes widened, and a series of previously unexamined fragments flashed through her mind like lightning.

My master was intimately familiar with the power system of the Underworld, with combat techniques that were incompatible with the Holy Realm's doctrines of light yet incredibly powerful and pointed directly to the source, as well as the profound wisdom he occasionally revealed, which was completely different from the brutal image of the Underworld King promoted by the Holy Realm, and the warmth hidden beneath his indifference...

Everything connected at this moment, and a reasonable explanation was found.

She suddenly understood, her voice trembling with disbelief:

"So...so that's why you never see my brother, Master? Every time he comes to visit, you always happen to be leaving...because he is the most loyal and brilliant general under the Snow Emperor, a warrior of light, while you...you are..."

“Indeed. He is the sharpest sword in the Snow Queen’s hand, the defender of the order of light; while I am the ruler of the underworld, the source of darkness and chaos in your Holy Realm.”

Qin Chuan readily admitted it, his tone completely calm:

"The title of master and disciple can be temporarily concealed by the remoteness of this place and your concealment, but our positions are fundamentally opposed. It is better not to meet than to make things difficult for each other."

"I don't care! What underworld ruler, what dark tyrant! That's all nonsense from the Holy Realm!"

Feng Ying stepped forward excitedly, tightly gripping Qin Chuan's sleeve as if afraid he would disappear immediately; her voice was tinged with a clear sob and a sense of resolve.

"The master I know is the one who taught me to fight against injustice, gave me the strength to break free from bullying, and treated me extremely well! I don't care about light or darkness at all! I'll go with you, I'll go to the underworld! I don't want to stay in this place where they always treat me as an outsider and always look at me with suspicion and rejection!"

The seemingly all-encompassing light of the Holy Realm has never truly accepted her, who bears the mark of "darkness" and has impure blood.

The warmth here is always tinged with an unmelting layer of frost.

Only when she was by her master's side did she feel true protection and recognition.

Qin Chuan could clearly sense the sincerity, struggle, and almost dependent trust in her words.

He gently but firmly brushed away her hand that was tightly gripping his sleeve. Looking at her tearful, stubborn, and helpless expression, he sighed inwardly, but maintained his unfathomable calm, smiling as he offered his carefully considered advice:

"Fengying, there's no need to rush into a choice right now. You're still young, and your world shouldn't be limited to the rejection of the Holy Realm or the acceptance of the Underworld. I suggest you go to the Imperial City and join your brother Fengyao. With your current strength, you can openly join the Snow Queen's ranks and experience things firsthand."

His gaze deepened, as if piercing through the wind and snow before him to see a more distant and complex vision of the future:

"Use your heart, not just your eyes, to observe and feel the true nature of this world. Try to understand whether the love and order that the Snow Queen believes in can bring eternal peace; and also try to see if the law of the jungle that the underworld follows has its own helplessness and logic behind it."

"One day, you will understand that this vast world is not like a child's scribbles, with only pure light and absolute darkness. It is more like a carefully mixed gray with infinite layers."

"When you truly understand the meaning of this 'gray' and see through the essence of light and darkness intertwining and coexisting, you will naturally understand what you truly identify with deep in your heart and where the road beneath your feet should lead."

Fengying listened intently, her seventeen years of experience and maturity not yet fully comprehending the complexities of life, philosophical reflections, and profound expectations contained in those words.

She felt an unbearable pang of sorrow, as if she were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand. The reluctance to part and the fear of the unknown future surged forth like a tidal wave, shattering the shell of strength she had just built.

"Master...I...I can't bear to leave you..."

She choked back tears, which finally broke through her last line of defense, like pearls from a broken string, sliding down her young and spirited cheeks and dripping onto the cold snow, leaving small dents.

Qin Chuan also felt a sense of loss. How could he have no feelings after six years of companionship?

This stubborn yet sensible apprentice had already secured a place in his heart.
