Chapter 1506

Xi Hua spoke little.

"What do you plan to do?"

She added.

She already knew Lin Yan's goal.

Although she did not know how Lin Yan achieved it, it was obvious his expenditure must have been immense—and having expended such tremendous power to accomplish what she could not, Lin Yan was determined to claim this shadow.

This shadow was extremely tenacious; Xi Hua had spent countless years within the Dark Abyss Prison to suppress it.

Thus, eliminating this shadow had become Xi Hua's own obsession.

"How are you?"

Lin Yan asked the same question he had posed at first.

He needed to understand Xi Hua's true condition before making any plans.

Xi Hua sat down and said: "My origin has been wounded; each use of my power depletes it further. To combat it, I analyzed its power and used darkness to counter darkness."

No wonder Xi Hua's power now differed greatly from before.

Lin Yan asked again: "What about it?"

He wanted to know the shadow's remaining strength.

After all, when the battle between the shadow and Xi Hua spilled beyond that region, Lin Yan had not witnessed the outcome.

Now, Lin Yan could only speculate about the shadow's residual power and needed confirmation from Xi Hua.

Upon hearing Lin Yan's question, Xi Hua said:

"It was injured less than I was; it was suppressed not because it was weak, but because its time had not yet come."

Lin Yan understood.

The shadow's condition was indeed as such.

The shadow's remaining strength was still considerable.

Yet the reason it was suppressed by Xi Hua was primarily because it needed to heal.

So it simply hid beneath the Sea of Darkness to recover.

And long ago, when the Light Lord was nearing the pinnacle, the reason it was ambushed by the shadow was simple enough.

The shadow feared that if the Light Lord became the pinnacle, he would join forces with Xi Hua to strike against it.

In other words, long ago, the shadow's power was insufficient to face two pinnacle-level beings acting in unison.

But the Light Lord did not perish back then, indicating the shadow did not wish to expend too much power—its injuries were likely still severe at the time.

It was unknown how much of its power had recovered since its last action.

Xi Hua could not give an accurate answer, for the shadow's most recent action occurred when it sensed a threat from Lin Yan.

But that was only the shadow's initial revival, offering little usable information.

Yet precisely because of that revival, Lin Yan became aware of it.

Otherwise, Lin Yan might have been ambushed by it again.

After gaining a general understanding of the shadow's condition, Lin Yan continued communicating with Xi Hua.

Having fought the shadow in a great battle and suppressed it for so many years, Xi Hua understood its power deeply.

But Xi Hua possessed no time power and did not know the shadow's origins.

So Lin Yan decided to share some information with her.

At the pinnacle level, understanding an enemy is part of one's combat strength.

Lin Yan asked: "Do you know its origin?"

Xi Hua said: "No."

She truly did not know.

Lin Yan murmured: "It was the first life born from Heaven and Earth at the dawn of creation."

Xi Hua's gaze sharpened.

That origin was indeed immense.

Even Xi Hua, who had dominated an era for countless years, was stunned by it.

"No wonder."

After a moment, Xi Hua asked.

"Before your era, it harvested countless ages."

Lin Yan added.

"Why?"
