"He won, young friend has won!"
At this moment, countless observers were cheering, for they knew that the Dark Age was about to come to a simple end.
And the one who ended the Dark Age was Yun Fan.
Although countless of their ancestors sacrificed their lives to help Yun Fan, it was undeniable that their ancestors were merely auxiliary.
It was Yun Fan who ultimately ended the Dark Age.
Therefore, on this day, they would no longer refer to him as young friend.
Young friend implied that they regarded Yun Fan as a junior.
But they felt it was inappropriate, for the achievements Yun Fan had made were beyond what a junior could accomplish.
They called Yun Fan the peerless Heavenly Venerate, one who overshadowed an entire era, overshadowed countless worlds. Yun Fan was also the strongest Heavenly Venerate since ancient times.
These accolades were not enough to describe Yun Fan's might.
This era had become beautiful because of Yun Fan's rise. What if the heavens and earth were depleted?
After all, the Dark Age would not reappear, and they had ample opportunity to safely navigate this terrifying era.
"Peerless Heavenly Venerate, we are willing to offer all the resources of our clans, solely to help Peerless Heavenly Venerate recover from his injuries!"
The crowd voiced their innermost thoughts.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, they held no selfish intentions. Offering their resources was their contribution.
After all, Yun Fan was too heavily injured in this battle, and they didn't know when he would recover.
But how could Yun Fan possibly accept such an offer!
Yun Fan said, "Fellow Daoists, I appreciate your intentions. However, the heavens and earth are depleted of resources in this era, and I still have ways to cope, while you do not. Therefore, you need not offer your resources!"
"Disperse!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was deeply moved. If it were anyone else, even if they didn't lift a finger, they would have stripped them of their resources.
But Yun Fan, from start to finish, had no such intentions. In this regard, it was evident that Yun Fan's moral character had reached its peak.
Thus, after prostrating themselves before Yun Fan, the crowd dispersed. Although the Dark Age had ended,
the greater challenge that followed was the depletion of resources in the heavens and earth.
Yun Fan let out a sigh of relief.
In this battle, he had slain three Dark Heavenly Venerates, creating the first miracle and the strongest feat in history.
It could be considered quite remarkable.
No one else could have fought three Heavenly Venerates consecutively and survived.
Even the renowned Three Heavenly Venerates, though they might have managed to kill one Dark Heavenly Venerate in a one-on-one battle with great difficulty,
would have surely fallen if they were to face them in a continuous battle.
It was imaginable that based on this alone, Yun Fan's title of the strongest Heavenly Venerate was well-deserved.
However, for Yun Fan, he never cared about such empty accolades.
The Dark Age had not been annihilated; it had merely retreated. Therefore, for Yun Fan, there were even greater challenges ahead.
To understand the source of the darkness clearly, Yun Fan decided to venture into the Dark Domain alone.
Previously, when he had demanded resources, it was only from the periphery. This time, he intended to explore the interior.
If possible, he would thoroughly end the darkness, so that the world would no longer be shrouded in it.
He did not know if he could successfully ascend the path of immortality.
If he were to truly embark on the path of immortality, then his family would be threatened by the darkness.
Therefore, he had to sweep away the darkness and eliminate all future trouble before he could consider ascending the path of immortality.
For him, this task remained a long and arduous journey.
...
Upon returning to the Final Era, Yun Fan entered a prolonged period of seclusion. This time, it was unavoidable.
For the injuries he sustained were too severe.
The outside world was calm and peaceful, the most stable period of this era. The heavens and earth were severely depleted of resources.
But fortunately, the martial artists of this era had signed a peace treaty.
Thus, there was no situation of contention.
Perhaps, for Yun Fan, this was the best outcome, and it made his suppression of the darkness worthwhile.
After he recovered, the women came to see him off.
"Don't make such a fuss; I'm just going for a stroll and will be back soon!"
To prevent the women from worrying, Yun Fan intentionally downplayed the danger, but they knew that Yun Fan's journey was fraught with peril.
After all, he was going to the dark forces' lair. It was impossible to say it wasn't dangerous. Even though Yun Fan had slain three Dark Heavenly Venerates,
coupled with the previous Chaos Heavenly Venerate, a total of four Dark Heavenly Venerates had perished at his hands.
But no one knew how many Heavenly Venerates still lurked within the darkness.
Of course, Yun Fan was full of confidence for this trip, for he knew that his strength had increased.
Naturally, even with the improvement, he was still within the realm of Heavenly Venerate. The upper three realms began from the seventh realm.
The seventh realm was Heavenly Venerate. As for the eighth and ninth realms, they were unknown, for the strongest recorded being on Pangu Continent was only a Heavenly Venerate.
Although there was talk of Ancestors beyond Heavenly Venerates, there were no similar records, and everything might have been mere speculation.
Yun Fan had no particular attitude towards this, for as long as he could truly crush everything within the realm of Heavenly Venerate, it was sufficient.
He had re-evaluated his strength after his growth. He could easily kill one Heavenly Venerate,
and with great difficulty, defeat two Heavenly Venerates attacking simultaneously.
Facing three Dark Heavenly Venerates, he was evenly matched.
Facing three or more Dark Heavenly Venerates, he would, of course, be unable to win, but in Yun Fan's opinion, his chances of escaping were still quite high.
After all, the title of the strongest Heavenly Venerate was not given in vain; it was earned through his own strength, step by step.
Thus, this was also why he had the confidence to venture into the Dark Domain.
After bidding farewell to the women, Yun Fan set off alone.
He arrived at the Dark Domain once more.
Since their defeat in the previous battle, the Dark Domain had become much more subdued. Not only had they not harassed the myriad realms,
but they had even refrained from plundering resources. It could be said that since the birth of darkness, there had never been such a period of quiet.
Of course, it was not that the darkness of this era had a change of heart and no longer troubled the common folk, but rather because of the presence of the legendary powerhouse, Yun Fan.
As long as he remained on Pangu Continent, the darkness would not dare to emerge.
Yun Fan was currently the most prominent figure.
So powerful that even the darkness had to retreat.
At this moment, Yun Fan entered the Dark Domain.
He immediately felt the aura of three Dark Heavenly Venerates enveloping him.
Yun Fan remained unfazed, for to him, such a situation was merely a minor affair.
To this end, Yun Fan said, "Sirs, how have you been!"
"Why have you come to my Dark Domain?"
Immediately, a Dark Heavenly Venerate furiously cursed, "We have abided by the agreement, and darkness will no longer emerge! Do you truly intend to eradicate us? I fear you lack the strength!"
But Yun Fan replied, "My lords, you have misunderstood. I merely came to have a look. I have no other intentions!"
Though he said this, whether he had other intentions remained unknown; perhaps only Yun Fan himself knew.
"This is not a place you can come to. If you take another step forward, it will be a declaration of life-and-death war on our darkness!"
Another Dark Heavenly Venerate threatened Yun Fan.
Since ancient times, it had only been they who invaded other worlds; no one had dared to invade their world.
Yet now, Yun Fan had brazenly appeared in the Dark Domain, completely disregarding them.
For the darkness, they had never suffered such a great insult.
Yun Fan said, "I do not fear a declaration of war. Do not threaten me with it. I have said that I wish to explore the Dark Domain. If you do not agree, then I will fight!"
This was Yun Fan's arrogant declaration.
The three Dark Heavenly Venerates were enraged. Yun Fan had clearly come to trample on them.
Alas, the darkness, which had been dominant for countless eras, had now fallen into such a pathetic state.
It was impossible not to feel sorrowful.
Finally, after consulting amongst themselves, the three Dark Heavenly Venerates said to Yun Fan, "Once you enter our Dark Domain, your life may no longer be under your own control! Are you certain you wish to enter the Dark Domain?"
Clearly, this was their final threat to Yun Fan.
For apart from this threat, they had no other means of intimidation.
Yun Fan said, "I am very certain. Otherwise, why would I have come?"
"Truly audacious!"
The aura of the three Dark Heavenly Venerates dissipated. It was evident that at this moment, they did not wish to waste further words with Yun Fan.
As for who would be the ultimate victor, it remained to be seen.
Thus, Yun Fan successfully stepped into the Dark Domain. For others, this was a death trap.
They would not even be able to overcome the darkness itself. But for Yun Fan, it was like walking on flat ground.
He felt nothing. Seeing his arrogant demeanor, the three Dark Heavenly Venerates were enraged.
They wanted to make Yun Fan regret entering the Dark Domain. Should they directly suppress Yun Fan?
Clearly, this was impossible, for even if all three of them attacked simultaneously, they might not be able to suppress the supreme Yun Fan.
Therefore, at this moment, they could only think of other methods.
...
Upon reaching the depths of the Dark Domain, Yun Fan learned that the darkness comprised three major forces, which was quite significant.
Among them, the Heaven-Defying Evil Emperor and the Chaos Heavenly Venerate, whom he had slain, belonged to one faction. Within this faction, the Dark Heavenly Venerates had no substantial ties; they merely banded together for mutual support.
Another faction was the one that had gone to intercept him earlier and whom he had slain three Dark Heavenly Venerates.
They were composed of four Dark Heavenly Venerates, and there were varying degrees of relationships among them.
For instance, Yuan Tianzun was their backbone, with the remaining three Dark Heavenly Venerates all having some connection to him: one was his descendant, another his disciple, and the third had been enticed into the darkness by him.
The last faction was the three Dark Heavenly Venerates who had deterred him when he entered the Dark Domain.
They were responsible for maintaining the darkness, and generally, they would rarely step out of the darkness.
For they had to guard the darkness. If Yun Fan's strength had not been so immense, why would they have let him in?
They would have killed Yun Fan long ago. But precisely because Yun Fan was too powerful, they could only compromise with him.
Judging from these three factions, Yun Fan speculated that there might still be at least seven Dark Heavenly Venerates alive within the darkness.
This was a terrifying number. If seven Dark Heavenly Venerates attacked simultaneously, even he, the strongest Heavenly Venerate, would have to retreat in defeat.
It could only be said that after countless eras, the darkness had almost always grown stronger, except for this era.
Even during the era of the Three Heavenly Venerates, the darkness had not declined; its growth rate had merely slowed.
But in this era, the Dark Domain had not only failed to grow but had also lost four Dark Heavenly Venerates.
Such a loss was immense.
Originally, Cang Tian Dao Ren was also within their recruitment scope.
But Cang Tian Dao Ren had been prematurely terminated by Yun Fan, thus their plan had failed at this point.
At this time, Yun Fan also learned that the dark forces were not entirely harmonious; each faction desired to become the lord of darkness.
Of course, when it came to plundering and ambushing the common folk, they presented a united front. At other times, they all sought to be the overlords.
Therefore, with Yun Fan's arrival, the three factions were hesitant and indecisive.
As Yun Fan stepped onto the territory of one of the factions, a figure appeared before him.
"Is this my first trial?"
Yun Fan stood his ground, preparing to attack. However, upon seeing the approaching figure, he stopped his actions.
For the opponent's strength was very weak. In Yun Fan's eyes, anyone who was not in the Heavenly Venerate realm was weak.
The figure was a woman wearing a black dress and a black veil, which surprised Yun Fan.
Her strength was roughly comparable to Qian Ying's, belonging to the peak of the middle three realms, but not yet capable of breaking through to the Heavenly Venerate realm.
However, in his eyes, she was far too weak, like an ant.
"Who are you?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
"You've entered my Black Sky Domain, and you still ask who I am?"
The other party retorted coldly.
Although she wore a veil, Yun Fan could still see her face.
Yun Fan asked, "So, are you here to intercept me?"
"You are the strongest Heavenly Venerate since ancient times; I am not qualified to intercept you!"
The woman said coldly, her tone filled with deep sarcasm. Yun Fan was unconcerned; she was just an ant.
If she annoyed him, he would simply eliminate her; there was no need for so much fuss.
"If you kill him, and if I had the strength, I would surely kill you!"
She said coldly, with boundless killing intent.
"Him?"
Just as Yun Fan was momentarily stunned, the woman said, "The Heaven-Defying Evil Emperor!"
"I see! Who are you to him?"
Yun Fan retorted.
"I am his dao companion. We just hadn't had time to be together before he was killed by you!"
The woman said angrily, "Do you know that by killing him, my Black Sky Domain will be eliminated by the other two factions?"
"What does that have to do with me!"
Yun Fan said, "Darkness is not tolerated by the righteous path. I come from the righteous path, and it is my duty to eliminate darkness!"
Upon hearing this, the woman said with disdain, "What a righteous path! Since ancient times, there have indeed been people like you who meddle in other people's affairs, but they all died before achieving their goals. You are merely lucky! But after you enter the Dark Domain, your luck will end here!"
"Is that so?"
Yun Fan said, "Perhaps in your darkness, you see me as relying on luck. In reality, where is there luck in this world? What I rely on is my own powerful strength. But what's the point of explaining this to you? Just state your purpose! I don't have time to waste here!"
"I want you to help me kill a Dark Heavenly Venerate!"
The woman directly stated her objective.
"And what will I gain?"
Yun Fan asked dismissively. He didn't know on what grounds she had the right to demand that he kill a Dark Heavenly Venerate.
The woman walked towards Yun Fan and suddenly shed her clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Yun Fan was instantly stunned. Did she naively think that she could get his help with just her body?
Was this a joke?
At this, the woman said, "Kill this Dark Heavenly Venerate, and all the resources of my Black Sky Domain will be yours. Of course, I will also be yours!"
"Apologies, I am not interested in women of darkness. Although you are indeed very beautiful!"
Yun Fan refused directly.
"It doesn't matter if you are not interested in me, but you should be interested in resources. My Black Sky Domain has accumulated resources through countless eras, so many that you cannot imagine!"
She said to Yun Fan bluntly.
"It seems I can obtain the resources of your Black Sky Domain even without your help. I don't believe anyone in your Black Sky Domain can stop me!"
This was Yun Fan's confidence.
The woman said, "My Black Sky Domain has always been the weakest among the three factions, especially after my fiancé and the previous Chaos Heavenly Venerate died. The Black Sky Domain actually only has one Heavenly Venerate left. If you want to obtain the resources of my Black Sky Domain, you must kill this Heavenly Venerate, and this is the Heavenly Venerate I want you to help me kill!"
"Someone from our own side killing someone from our own side?"
Yun Fan looked at her questioningly.
The woman nodded, "He was indeed one of us before, but since he betrayed my fiancé, he is no longer one of us!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Fan looked at her with confusion.
The woman explained, "My fiancé went out to kill you, seeking a way out for my Black Sky Domain. But this person plotted against my fiancé, making him the first to be sacrificed. Not only that, but the previous Chaos Heavenly Venerate was also instigated by this person to go to your world, hoping to find a new haven for our Black Sky Domain faction, but in the end, they both died at your hands!"
"I see!"
Yun Fan nodded, understanding the whole story.
The woman said, "I have already guessed some of your intentions for coming to the Dark Domain. The dark resources are probably only a part of it, but more importantly, I believe you are definitely here to understand the origin of darkness! If you help me with this, I will tell you all the truths I know!"
At this, Yun Fan glanced at her.
The woman immediately understood Yun Fan's meaning, "If you want to coerce me into telling you, then I can only say that it's impossible!"
"Alright, deal!"
Yun Fan nodded.
It seemed she was very astute.
Upon hearing this, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"My name is Hei Yao!"
She told him her name.
But Yun Fan shook his head, "I'm very sorry, I'm not interested in your name!"
Hei Yao did not get angry, for she was now in a position of needing Yun Fan's help. It was only to show sincerity that she had told him her name.
At this, she led the way. Upon arriving at the main hall of the Black Sky Domain, she said to Yun Fan, "Hide yourself for now! I want to give him a surprise!"
"No problem!"
Yun Fan nodded. He was interested in dark resources, but not very much. He had no interest in Hei Yao, but he was full of interest in the secrets of darkness.
Indeed, at this moment, there was a Heavenly Venerate powerhouse stationed in the main hall.
"Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate, my husband has only recently fallen, and you are already so impatient to become the Domain Lord?"
Hei Yao asked coldly. There were many dark martial artists present, and these were all gathered by Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate.
Today, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate was to be coronated as the Domain Lord. If it were before, these people would never have agreed.
But now, they dared not disagree. Even though they knew Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate had caused the deaths of two Heavenly Venerates, the Black Sky Domain urgently needed Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate to support it.
At this, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate smiled playfully, "Now I am the strongest existence in the Black Sky Domain. This position should be mine!"
"That's right!"
The crowd advised Hei Yao, "Although the Heaven-Defying Evil Emperor's contributions to our Black Sky Domain are unparalleled, he has fallen. Please, Madam Hei Yao, let go of your hatred!"
Upon hearing this, Hei Yao felt immense pain, but she was not surprised, for she had long suspected this.
At this, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate said, "I know you had an engagement with the Heaven-Defying Evil Emperor. Now that he is dead, the engagement is void. Not only will I become the Domain Lord, but I will also have you as my wife!"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate was extremely arrogant, but in this era where strength was paramount, no matter how arrogant he was, no one dared to contradict him.
His actions were truly excessive, considering he was a sworn brother of the Heaven-Defying Evil Emperor before.
But at this moment, no one thought his actions were excessive; instead, they considered it normal.
"Everyone, do you have any objections?"
At this moment, Hei Yao asked the dark powerhouses present.
"No objections!"
The crowd nodded and approved of Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate's intentions.
Instantly, Hei Yao's heart grew cold, but this was normal. Emotions, such as they were, did not exist in the Dark Domain.
Therefore, she immediately refused, "I do not agree!"
"That is not for you to decide!"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate said arrogantly, "Whether you agree or not, you must agree!"
"I choose the third option!"
Everyone was confused, and cursed Hei Yao for not seeing the situation clearly at this moment. Just as they were about to scold her further, Hei Yao directly said, "I choose destruction! The Black Sky Domain has no need to exist anymore!"
"Destruction?"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate asked disdainfully, "Based on you?"
"Of course, I don't have the strength, but that doesn't mean others don't. Please!"
The next moment, Yun Fan appeared.
Initially, the crowd was indifferent, thinking Hei Yao was being delusional. But upon seeing Yun Fan emerge, everyone was instantly terrified.
Who was Yun Fan? He was the foremost Heavenly Venerate in history! The number of Heavenly Venerates he had killed could be counted on one hand.
"How did he get here?"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate's expression changed, for he too was afraid of this formidable individual before him!
"Hei Yao, what is the meaning of your conspiracy with him?"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate questioned.
The dark powerhouses also suppressed their fear and looked at Hei Yao.
Hei Yao said, "I asked him to help resolve this corrupt faction. Is there a problem?"
"But he killed your fiancé!"
"Compared to him, your actions are more detestable!"
Hei Yao said directly, "You have no reason to exist, and the entire Black Sky Domain has no reason to exist!"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized the gravity of the situation.
"Hei Yao, you are destined to become a sinner of the Black Sky Domain!"
Everyone cursed angrily.
But Hei Yao remained indifferent.
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate knew that if Yun Fan made a move, no one present could match him. Therefore, at this moment, he immediately said to Yun Fan, "Fellow Daoist, you have overstepped your bounds!"
"I came to resolve the darkness in the first place, so I have not overstepped. Eliminating you also falls within my purview!"
Yun Fan said with a disdainful smile. Whether it was overstepping or not was determined by strength.
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate said, "If you dare to act here, the other two factions will also make a move, and at that time, you will surely die!"
Facing Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate's threat, Yun Fan calmly asked, "Then, may I ask, have they sent reinforcements yet?"
Clearly, they had not, for the other two factions were happy to see the Black Sky Domain perish.
Therefore, at this moment, they would only watch, not intervene.
"As long as you do not act, my Black Sky Domain will never emerge!"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate threw out another condition, clearly showing that his fear of Yun Fan was ingrained.
To prevent Yun Fan from acting, he could only offer more tempting conditions.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan said, "Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate, since you are so fearful, why did you plot twice to eliminate me? You should have anticipated this day back then!"
Upon hearing this, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate argued, "Don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I have never plotted against you!"
"Whether you did or not is no longer important. Righteousness and evil are irreconcilable! Make your move!"
Facing Yun Fan's immense pressure, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate's expression changed.
"This is the main base of my darkness. Are you sure you have the advantage?"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate questioned angrily.
"Whether I have the advantage or not, we will only know after we fight!"
The next moment, Yun Fan decisively attacked, for he did not have that much time to waste.
With no other choice, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate could only meet the challenge, drawing Yun Fan into the darkness.
He wanted to use the darkness to put pressure on Yun Fan and force him to retreat. As for killing Yun Fan, apologies, but even in his own stronghold, he could not achieve that.
Hei Yao and the others did not know the outcome of the battle. At this moment, although they all harbored deep animosity towards Hei Yao, they remained silent.
For at this moment, they had only one goal: to await the end of the battle.
A quarter of an hour later, a scream echoed.
"Ah!"
Immediately after, a figure fell from the darkness, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"What?"
The expressions of the crowd changed. They had never expected Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate to be defeated so quickly.
Yun Fan, the strongest Heavenly Venerate in history, was not just a boast.
Even in the heart of darkness, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate was easily subdued. This was Yun Fan's strength.
In fact, at Yun Fan's level of power, there was no Heavenly Venerate who could fight him one-on-one.
Although Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate was not among the top Heavenly Venerates, he was still a rare powerhouse. Unfortunately, upon encountering Yun Fan, even he was completely outmatched.
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate struggled to stand up.
"I didn't expect you to ask him for help; I miscalculated!"
At this moment, Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate looked at Hei Yao furiously. He knew his actions were excessive, but this was an era where strength reigned supreme.
He thought Hei Yao would succumb to him, but unexpectedly, Hei Yao had brought out the mighty Yun Fan.
Hei Yao said, "This is all your own doing!"
Then she retreated to the side, leaving the battlefield to Yun Fan and Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate.
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate berated the dark powerhouses present, "Everyone, attack with me! If I die, you will not live either!"
The dark powerhouses were instantly terrified. They understood this logic, but if they attacked, no one could withstand Yun Fan's killing blow.
Just as they were in a dilemma, Yun Fan spoke, "Don't trouble yourselves, for you are all dead men!"
The next moment, Yun Fan forcefully attacked and suppressed them. With just one move, the numerous dark powerhouses vanished into thin air.
Before Yun Fan, the strongest Heavenly Venerate, they could not even withstand a single blow.
"Peerless Heavenly Venerate! It must be admitted, your strength is indeed immense. Today, I am unlucky, but even in death, I will make you pay an absolute price!"
Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate, realizing that the tide had turned against him, did not hesitate and self-destructed, intending to take Yun Fan with him.
But ultimately, he had underestimated Yun Fan. The moment he initiated his self-destruction, he was instantly killed by Yun Fan.
The powerful Lie Yun Heavenly Venerate, the last Dark Heavenly Venerate of the Black Sky Domain, met his end at this moment.
Hei Yao looked on in shock. She knew Yun Fan could resolve the Black Sky Domain, but she had not expected him to sweep through the Black Sky Domain in such a short time.
Such power was terrifyingly immense.
She wondered what kind of environment could have produced such a monstrously strong individual as Yun Fan.
Even Heavenly Venerates were like ants before him.
Could Yun Fan already be at the legendary Ancestor level?
At this, Yun Fan said to Hei Yao, "I have fulfilled my promise to you. I hope you will give me a satisfactory answer!"
Though his words were light, Hei Yao felt a terrifying sense of pressure within them.
Therefore, she immediately assured Yun Fan, "Don't worry, I will satisfy you!"
"This is the treasury of my Black Sky Domain; all the dark resources are here. This is my first promise to you!"
Hei Yao directly led Yun Fan to the treasury.
Looking at these countless dark resources, Yun Fan showed a look of satisfaction. These resources were several times more than those in the Final Era.
With these resources, he had more capital.
"My second promise is the origin of darkness!"
She said to Yun Fan.
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan's interest was piqued, and he listened intently to Hei Yao's narration.
Hei Yao said to Yun Fan, "The origin of darkness is actually quite simple. My fiancé once told me that deep within the darkness lies the place where dark power emanates. There, there is a deceased powerhouse, and all darkness originates from this deceased powerhouse! Whether it is true or not, I do not know, for at my level, I am not qualified to go there! But I can be sure that the various Dark Heavenly Venerates rely on the dark power emanating from this deceased powerhouse to resist the erosion of the Great Dao and to strengthen themselves!"
This answer greatly shocked Yun Fan. If what Hei Yao said was true, then that deceased powerhouse must have been very strong in life.
"Do you know the identity and strength of that deceased powerhouse?"
This was the question that Yun Fan cared about most.
"No!"
Hei Yao said, "I only heard from my fiancé that he is the progenitor of darkness. Even Heavenly Venerates rely on the dark power he emits. His power is undoubtedly immense. Perhaps in the earliest days, there were not so many Dark Heavenly Venerates. Attracted by his dark power, they came here, thus giving birth to the prime culprit, the dark lineage!"
"Your analysis is quite reasonable!"
Yun Fan said, "If I destroy that deceased powerhouse, then I can end darkness forever!"
This was Yun Fan's plan.
Hei Yao said, "Your plan is not wrong, but if you destroy that deceased powerhouse, you will be cutting off the path of retreat for darkness, and then you will be attacked by everyone! Of course, I hope you die! For we are enemies!"
She truly did not hide her thoughts and revealed them to Yun Fan without reservation.
Yun Fan said, "Even if I die, you will die before me!"
"I don't want to live anyway!"
At this, Hei Yao said, "Next, I will fulfill your last promise!"
With that, she shed her clothes and embraced Yun Fan. However, before she could get close, Yun Fan was repelled by Yun Fan's power.
Yun Fan said, "Firstly, I am not interested in darkness. Secondly, I am not interested in you!"
What a joke! He was not a man who could be easily swayed. While sometimes he could be so unrestrained that he wasn't human, most of the time, he could restrain himself within his bottom line.
Otherwise, with his strength and reputation as a Heavenly Venerate, his women would likely have multiplied tenfold.
Hei Yao quickly put on her clothes and then said to Yun Fan, "How about we make a bet?"
"What are we betting on?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
"I bet you will definitely conquer me!"
This was Hei Yao's confidence.
"Don't worry, it will never be possible!"
Then, Yun Fan decisively attacked, aiming for Hei Yao. As long as Hei Yao died beforehand, the bet would be concluded.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Hei Yao vanished from her original spot.
"I knew you would kill me, so I made preparations in advance. Next time, we will meet again!"
Hei Yao's voice echoed from the spot. Yun Fan carefully searched for Hei Yao's figure but could not find her whereabouts.
Even Yun Fan had not expected Hei Yao to possess such means. He had underestimated Hei Yao, an ant who had not even reached the peak of the middle three realms, yet she could evade the fatal blow of a Heavenly Venerate like him, which was indeed surprising.
Yun Fan did not waste any time. A mere Hei Yao was not worth his concern. The next step was to complete his plan.
Destroy the deceased dark powerhouse and completely sever the path of retreat for darkness.
