Chapter 346
In the midst of this pure black scene, the darkness was as silent as a dead domain, making any person with a sound mind, who stayed here for a moment, would feel an explosive and depressing sensation, blossoming in his heart.
And in the midst of the darkness, that hazy light, even if it was the only color of this darkness, was still shrouded by the boundless darkness, penetrating not a single ray of light.
If it wasn’t for Zhou An’s perception of the anomaly through the Eye of Chaos, he might not have been able to discover the existence of this light at this time.
The darkness was as heavy as water, and even under the effect of the Eye of Chaos, Zhou An still could not see the specific shape of the light.
After he pondered a little, he then lifted his feet and walked towards the glow.
“There are things that perhaps need to be seen with one’s own eyes.”
Zhou An cast the Heavenly Worker Divine Calculation as he walked.
There was still a golden color before his eyes, and within the dazzling golden light, there was not a trace of complexity, so pure that it was like the sun blooming in the sky, proving that it was a color of great fortune.
“Surprisingly, it’s a color of great fortune?”
Without any hesitation, Zhou An continued to move forward.
When the skill, Magic Shadow Ten Thousand, was cast, distance was no longer considered distance in front of Zhou An.
Even if it was a more distant length, it was only a matter of a split second before he was able to reach it.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou An had already arrived at the place where this light was.
When he saw this light, he was slightly stunned.
“This is a hole, why is there a small hole permeated with light inside this darkness?”
Just now, that hazy light was like a hole the size of a needle’s eye had been hollowed out of a piece of pure black cloth.
Even how obvious the light was, there was only such a pinhole that bloomed with a hint of light.
Zhou An couldn’t figure out why in this crack of a rift, it was not a world that led to it, but this pure black space.
It was even possible to see this hole that was flooded with light from within the pure black space.
But not understanding or not understanding was not important at all, what was important was that he had found where this small hole was.
According to what None had just said, this thing was important to both None and to him.
They both sort of found it at the same time, but None was not his match right now, so he gave this thing away.
Zhou An was curious as to what was inside this small hole that was glowing with light, so he approached towards it.
Strangely enough, even the Eye of Chaos was not able to penetrate this small hole, so it was evident that what was inside was by no means idle.
Subsequently, when Zhou An came to this small hole that was flooded with light, after looking out through this small hole, the whole person froze on the spot like a piece of wooden sculpture, and did not react for a long time.
Outside of the light, there was a world of traffic, high-rise buildings, countless people in suits, hurrying along the wide streets.
The sound of sirens, the sound of vehicles moving and the sound of people’s footsteps, piled on top of each other, constantly passing out through the small hole.
And the skyscrapers, as well as the airplanes skimming across the sky, and the sounds that accompanied the ringing of cell phones from time to time, all of this was both familiar and unfamiliar to Zhou An.
Zhou An was overwhelmed with shock: “This is the world I used to live in.”
He had traveled across and was alone, with very few friends in this world.
Especially when he had just crossed over, the feeling of loneliness, which was extremely terrifying, caused him to suffer from loneliness from time to time, only not expressing it.
Now, steeply seeing his original world through this small hole, that familiar yet unfamiliar feeling grew stronger and stronger.
A strong impulse suddenly surged through Zhou Wen’s mind, and he wanted to tear open this small hole in front of him, go to his own side of the world, and feel the past life he once had.
However, this impulse was suppressed by him alive, to be precise, it was suppressed by Black Jade.
The Black Jade reached out and held Zhou An’s arm, gently shaking it.
Zhou An froze slightly, then turned his head, that impulse in his mind dissipating.
“Even though it’s nice to have a past life, I’ve finally, in this world, lived a second life.”
A realization arose in Zhou An, and then, his face turned flat.
Looking at the world beyond this small hole in front of him, he suddenly knew that he seemed to have almost fallen for a trick.
Zhou An looked around and said to himself, “You should still be around, right?”
When these words were spoken, a ghostly sigh came from this dark environment.
None’s doppelganger stepped out of the darkness, shook his head and sighed, “After all, I wasn’t able to fool you, how did you guess?”
Zhou An thought for a moment, then said, “I went to the world where the Dragon Spirit is located, found the scent you left behind, and took a closer look.”
“I’ve been wondering, since you went there, why didn’t you do it and personally destroy everything, but single-handedly left behind just that one thing, and just now I figured out that you seemed to have done it intentionally.”
“After all, if you destroyed the world, maybe I’m not interested, but if you left your scent on just one object, I would pick it up and check it out.”
“If that scent sticks, I don’t know what the outcome will be.”
As Zhou An said this, in addition to the calmness in his eyes, there was also a deeply hidden coldness and murderous aura.
“The result is obvious, the world within the rift is so vast, why did I suddenly encounter another hundred meters of weirdness, and why did I suddenly develop a feeling as if the rift in the depths of this weirdness was something extremely important to me.”
“Now it seems that it is indeed there.”
Saying that, Zhou An pointed at the small hole behind him, “From here, you should be able to go back.”
None nodded and said without hesitation, “That’s right, it is indeed able to go back, but why don’t you go in, isn’t this the place you’ve been longing for and wanting to find a place to belong to?”
“I once learned about your heart demon before I was unconscious, although you have cut down your heart demon, your heart demon is also yourself.”
“And after going there?”
Zhou An shook his head and said, “Perhaps there is no way for me to come back for a short period of time.”
After None’s ploy was discovered, he in turn became bright and unapologetic, “That’s right, I just want to use this opportunity to tell you to go.”
“The crack behind the hundred meters of weirdness was tampered with by me, connecting to the world you were once in, I gave you the chance.”
“Between you and me, although we haven’t met, before I was unconscious, I had a recurring dream where I dreamed that you were me and I was you, and I really didn’t want to hurt you.”
“So you go to the world you were in, and I will never destroy you, you will gain immense power and control over everything there, and be able to become the supreme being in it, why not?”
“Or maybe you want to take some people with you?”
None waved his hand, and the darkness around him was dispersed, followed by the appearance of several people floating in mid-air.
He pointed at the image above.
“Ye Frost, Yu Hang or Eunuch Wei, or anyone else, you can bring as many people as you want, I won’t stop you.”
Zhou An looked at None flatly, letting him finish before saying, “Since you and I don’t share the same thing, why destroy everything, isn’t it just right for everyone to be at peace together?”
“Ideal or responsibility.”
None said indifferently, “My ideal is to let all living beings escape suffering, and when they become bizarre after death, the suffering is gone.”
“Death is the end of everything and the new birth of everything, I once told you that between you and my ideal, I would choose the ideal.”
Zhou An sighed, “Then there’s no more to talk about, your rhythm today was really strong, but it also pissed me off, I’m the kind of person who hates it when people make fun of my past life.”
To be honest, up to this point, Zhou An still felt a little alarmed when he thought about some of None’s beats.
First, leaving a mark on the place he was going to, followed by leaving a scent through the mark, allowing the scent to linger on him.
On one’s return journey, one hooked the Hundred Meter Creepy, and the crack in the Hundred Meter Creepy had long since been tampered with by None.
None had even put on a show inside, saying that what was inside was very important to both of them, and had even acted so realistically that he had almost believed it.
This play was true to life.
It was indeed important, even if it wasn’t a play, those things from his previous life were still incredibly important to Zhou An, this sentence no did not lie.
But once they went back, then like Zhou An had just said, perhaps for a short period of time, it would be impossible to return.
Then the other worlds, wouldn’t they be left to the ravages of None?
Zhou An couldn’t even find a way to improve himself, after all, in his own side of the world, there had never been a corresponding weirdness.
So this trip, if it was a go, it would be a defeat.
Zhou An raised his hand, and the long black blade floated into his hand, “You have the skill of shielding, the Heavenly Worker Divine Calculator can’t count you, but one day, we will meet again.”
He took a step forward and arrived in front of None’s doppelganger, pressed None’s shoulder, and in the process ran the long knife through None’s chest.
None said with a face full of anticipation, “After I am able to have an even match with you, we will definitely meet again, and at that time, whether you are right or I am right, everything will eventually come to fruition.”
“Zhou An, after this incident, I won’t use these ploys on you again, as a matter of fact, my ploys today are indeed for your own good, but you don’t appreciate them, in that case, let us battle it out in the final moments, openly and honestly.”
“That depends on whether you have the qualifications.”
Zhou An’s long blade shook, and the nothing in front of him turned into nothingness.
And behind Zhou An, the light from that previous life was gradually weakening.
Darkness enveloped this light, and everything turned black.
Zhou An witnessed the disappearance of this light, and watched until the light completely disappeared before he shook his head and took Black Jade’s hand.
Sensing Zhou An’s emotions, Black Jade slightly tilted her head, then suddenly made a movement.
Only to see Black Jade padding up on her toes, wrapping her arms around Zhou An’s neck and printing her red lips on Zhou An’s forehead.
Zhou An was slightly stunned, this was the first time he had seen Black Jade do this action.
Black Jade tilted her head and said with a smile, “Kissing can make one forget all the pain, Black Jade doesn’t want to make Zhou An suffer.”
She sensed that emotion in Zhou An’s body that disappeared after a kiss.
Zhou An touched Black Jade’s head and said with a smile, “One day, I will bring you, those friends of mine, Ye Frost and Old Yu, and we will go together to see the place where I once lived.”
Black Jade nodded in confusion.
None of this mattered, what mattered to Black Jade was that Zhou An had recovered his emotions.
She and Zhou An had depended on each other from the moment they met until now.
Black Jade could feel Zhou An’s happiness and became equally jumpy.
Afterward, Zhou An held Black Jade’s hand and left the rift, heading towards the world where the Great Chu Kingdom was located.
Da Chu Kingdom, Zhou Residence.
In the water well, a clear stream of water suddenly erupted.
Zhou An held Black Jade and appeared from within the water well, landing firmly on the ground.
It had taken a long time to go in, and by the time he came out, it was already almost the latter part of the night.
This encounter today made Zhou An feel that he still had to speed up.
The others were nothing, even those marauders were not enough to worry about for the time being in Zhou An’s opinion.
The most important thing was that this fellow, No, seemed to be determined to destroy everything in sight.
So Zhou An had to speed up the pace.
Now although it was already late, Zhou An did not hesitate, pulling Black Jade along he began to liver up the proficiency of the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressor Blade.
The night gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, almost more than a month had passed.
During this month, the entire world was calm, although the Jianghu was still filled with grudges and feuds, and some fights and killings occurred from time to time, but for the entire world, it was still generally smooth.
The Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom had summoned many masters overnight, not only from various officialdom and various organizations, but also from various jianghu forces.
And these people who were summoned secretly rushed to a mysterious place.
This was a huge and incomparable deep mountain, at this moment, in the middle of the deep mountain, there were countless experts gathered.
The lowest of these experts was the All Saints realm.
If they were placed in the jianghu, they would be able to stir up a storm of bloodshed.
Originally, there were very few people at the All Saints realm, including the above experts, but if the entire world was gathered, it would become extremely numerous.
And at this time, Eunuch Wei, the State Master, the Prime Minister, as well as the King of the Far West and the Empty Dust Presiding Officer, were patiently standing in the center of an open space.
The five peak Ascension Realm experts were, at this moment, meeting the gazes of the people around them.
After this month’s setup, they had finally finalized all the people who would enter the rift.
The two of them, Yu Hang and Ye Frost, looked around and did not find Zhou An’s figure.
The two of them had now reached the Absolute Enlightenment realm, and although they were still far from the next realm, they could already be considered as rare experts.
“It’s almost time to leave, why hasn’t that fellow Zhou An arrived yet?” The Far West King asked as he shook the dust from his sleeves.
Today was the time for the soldiers to set off for the rift and kill the marauders, and the Hidden Masters had already arrived, with everything ready to go, but they were all waiting for one person, and that was Zhou An.
Eunuch Wei tucked his hands into his sleeves and said, “We have long since sent people to pass on the message, Zhou An said that he would arrive in the afternoon, so I guess there’s something going on in the morning.”
There were quite a lot of people going on this trip, and the few of them who were experts of the Peak Ascension Realm had to lead their respective teams, so they had arrived early.
Zhou An was the only one who had yet to arrive.
That was how the Far West King asked, and he didn’t say anything next, just waiting patiently.
As for the surrounding area, quite a few experts of the All Saints Realm as well as the Absolute Enlightenment Realm also waited with eager anticipation after hearing about it.
Here, only a small portion of them had dealt with Zhou An.
Most of them had never seen Zhou An’s true self, but all of them had been divine friends for a long time.
The legends in the jianghu had spread so much that their curiosity about Zhou An had grown.
There were quite a few experts that had begun to whisper.
“Is Zhou An holding back a big wave? Is it hard to break through to the Heaven Ascension Realm?”
“It’s not easy to tell, if he breaks through to the Ascended Heavens, is there anyone in this world who can beat him?”
“I guess so?”
“Oh? There’s still such an expert in this world who can beat Zhou An?”
“It’s said that Zhou An also has an aunt who is a supreme expert, although it’s said in the jianghu that the aunt was killed by Zhou An, but who believes this?”
“That’s right, those who are able to cultivate a person like Zhou An are by no means idle, perhaps, that aunt of his didn’t die.”
The whispers of these people, in everyone’s opinion, were actually no different from speaking out loud, after all, all of the people here were also experts.
But they all acted as if they hadn’t heard it either.
Only Yu Hang’s mouth twitched slightly, and he and Ye Frost exchanged is glances, both of them could see the color of helplessness in the other’s eyes.
The two of them were especially clear about who the aunt was, especially Yu Hang who was even more clear.
That kind of a fat as a ball of existence, even up to now, has elevated the identity to an unimaginable degree, simply outrageous.
Just like when Yu Hang once spoke to Zhou An, Zhou An also explained helplessly, he said that his aunt had now become a glorious ancestor, it was estimated that if he dug her out from inside the grave, she would hug his thighs and thank him.
Yu Hang spat at that time, you didn’t even fix a grave for your aunt.
Zhou An said, “It’s been cut into fifty-six parts, what need is there for a grave?
This matter was only understood by Yu Hang and Ye Frost, but they couldn’t explain it.
After all, everyone had gotten the atmosphere up to here, so explaining further was unnecessary.
The crowd was still waiting patiently.
After roughly nearly an hour of effort, finally, a bitter wind sound appeared in the sky.
Subsequently, many top experts raised their heads and scanned the sky above.
At this moment, two figures in the sky, were coming together.
A devilish shadow spread across the sky, and the white clouds were washed away by this devilish shadow.
Zhou An and Hei Yu were dressed in black, carrying the momentum of ten thousand pounds as they descended from the sky, landing steadily at the very center.
At this moment, all the people cast their gazes over and landed on Zhou An.
They sensed that Zhou An’s aura had become even stronger, and there was even a feeling that made it impossible to look directly at him.
During this period of time, Zhou An had stayed at home to liver proficiency, not going out at all.
And under his frantic liver proficiency, his strength had also increased significantly.
In front of his eyes, a puff of smoke appeared and then transformed into words.
[Armor Breaking Evil Blade (Punishing Guile) lv.15 (Speed +168, Accuracy +168, Sharpness +168, Breaking Defense +168, Punishing Guile +168): 1/260000]
Pot of Heaven and Earth lv.13 (Strength +78, Destroy +78, Seal +78, Refine +78, Punish +78): 1/240000].
[Demonic Shadow of Thousands (Punishing Guile) lv.13 (Speed +78, Dodge +78, Flight +78, Demonic Shadow +78, Punishing Guile +78): 1/240000]
[Unbreakable Golden Body (Punishing Guile) lv. 13 (Hardness +78, Fusion +78, Defense +78, Overlap +78, Punishing Guile +78): 1/240000]
[Storage Proficiency: 80,000/2200,000]
This time, Zhou An had dried the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressing Blade to level 15, reaching a qualitative change, and used the stored proficiency to raise the Unbreakable Golden Body to level 13.
However, Zhou An slightly regretted that after the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressing Blade reached level 15, it didn’t add any new attributes, nor did it have any options, it just doubled its original attributes.
Zhou An knew the reason, the pure white silhouette had disappeared, and he and the so-called Nothing, each had their own Golden Finger.
The golden fingers, nowadays, seemed to be finalized, but it was irrelevant.
The doubling of the attributes allowed the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressor Blade to reach a terrifying level.
Zhou An had tried it, and when he swung it out, he estimated that even a special lineage like Eunuch Wei was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to block the auburn-colored blade light.
Nowadays, although he was still in the Absolute Enlightenment realm, the realm no longer had any substantial effect on Zhou An.
Attributes were the true king.
Originally, Zhou An was planning to continue to liver the Heaven and Earth in the pot to a qualitative change as well, and then double his attributes to increase his attack power.
However, the current situation was that time was running out.
The matter of soldiering the Marauders had already been set up long ago, and the Marauders must not be given the slightest bit of respite, so Zhou An rushed over.
Eunuch Wei similarly sensed the aura on Zhou An’s body and came forward, his face a little complicated, “It seems like we are not even your opponent anymore, Zhou An, nowadays, you are truly the pinnacle of the top in this world, perhaps even His Majesty is not your opponent.”
Zhou An nodded, but his face did not have the slightest bit of arrogance and frenzy, instead, he said with a humble face, “On this journey, it is also thanks to Eunuch Wei’s protection, or else I would not be able to have such and such a realm.”
Eunuch Wei smiled and nodded, “We are really pleased that you are able to maintain this state of mind when you have reached the pinnacle of the world, but perhaps in the future, you will be required to do more.”
Zhou An smiled and said, “When I was low, Eunuch Wei had been willing to be my backer and be my background, and now at the time of my rise, Zhou An is naturally willing to do what Zhou An needs to do.”
At all times, Zhou An the man had a necessary principle.
What others treated him well, he would return the favor in a hundred ways.
So in this regard, Eunuch Wei would always be his elder.
Eunuch Wei smiled and nodded, “In that case, let’s set off.”
When those words were finished, the Hidden Master, who hadn’t said anything, snapped his fingers.
Subsequently, a special air wrapped everyone around him in it.
“Try not to use your full strength.” The Hidden Master said, “We can just go straight to the cracks, and search through them one by one.”
The crowd nodded and then crossed towards the cracks, and soon, they disappeared into this mysterious mountain.
The Battle of the Marauders, about to unfold.
(For the moment, in the end, very emotional ah, the first time to write more than two million words of the book, some places the penpower may not be too in place, I hope you have more tolerance.)
