such was the path he chose to tread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People often say that moths fly into flames to their own demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was never a greedy man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he were that moth, yearning for warmth and light, he could enjoy that momentary warmth if he circled the flame, weary to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he would cherish this opportunity bestowed upon him by the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining pain dissipated, and the fractured Corpse Pearl was fully restored, now silently embedded within the Yin Yang Tao Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An also realized that during today’s cultivation, he had broken through to the Second Grade Kaiyuan realm, and the settled Corpse Pearl seemed somewhat different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, feeling a sudden chill in his heart, not from a shiver, but an icy cold akin to that of the Netherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright red flower grew and spread from his chest, flaunting a bewitchingly vivid red, the red spider lily from the Santzu River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among its petals, one burned fiercely, not with heat, but with even greater coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An suddenly felt something, a strange and magical sensation similar to when he had killed Huang Kang and Yang Zhao, as if something new was awakening within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting on impulse, the Corpse Pearl hidden within the Yin Yang Tao Fish stirred, a fragment of memory from its original owner flashing across Baili An’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s pupils dilated slightly, “A corpse demon Talent…”‘Talent’ was an ability typical of the dark-born race of corpse demons, each awakening with a different ‘Talent.’Moreover, the conditions for awakening a ‘Talent’ were extremely harsh, only Shadow Corpses were qualified to awaken basic Talent abilities, and those who could awaken were the rare among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Talent that Baili An had awakened during battle, according to the residual memory of the Shebi Corpse, seemed unknown, as if even a being like the Shebi Corpse couldn’t fathom such a Talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Baili An knew exactly what his newly awakened Talent was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extraordinary self-healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An flicked his index finger, growing a sharp claw-like protrusion that, when forcefully dragged across the back of his hand, left a bloody mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cut was healing even before he could see the blood ooze, the healing process so rapid it was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an unexpected delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he unlocked the first node of human cultivation, his abilities as a corpse demon also enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An noticed his own peculiarity; he seemed quite different from ordinary corpse demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current level, he shouldn’t have reached the rank of a Shadow Corpse, yet he had awakened two kinds of corpse demon Talents, which was utterly baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, this was due to the Royal Blood he had inherited from the Corpse King Jiang Chen, granting him such a remarkable advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he thought so, he felt that his first awakened Talent had implications far beyond just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to figure it out, he didn’t dwell on it too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting his physical condition, Baili An stood up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and began waiting for Wen Hanwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distant darkness, the sound of sword cries and flashes periodically resonated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That respectable Sword Qi, filled with awe, attested to Wen Hanwei’s safety at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An knew all too well that recklessly searching for her in such a perilous place would only bring her unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew she would return, so he patiently waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Qi illuminated the gloomy Ink Mountain Valley, forcing evil spirits and ferocious beasts from the deep valleys; they surged out like darker-than-dusk tides fleeing, driven out by an imposing white-robed woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creatures, like a stream of black locusts, flowed over the mountain ridges and valleys, then sensing Baili An’s unfamiliar aura, madly charged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their numbers were overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against those terrifying evil spirits, Baili An leaned against a piece of wild stone, utterly motionless, not even batting an eyelash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff puff puff!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dull sound of bodies colliding into a blood mist filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physical-bodied evil spirits were messily sliced by the Barrier Array Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bodiless yin spirits caught up in the Array Light emitted chilling, ear-piercing screams, dissipating into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Barrier Array Light, thin as a veil, stirred not even a ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more, the scene bore witness to the power of the Taixuan’s Ninth Classic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An watched thoughtfully, wondering how many springs and autumns he needed to cultivate to attain the irrational strength of Sister Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligent evil spirits, witnessing the bloody scene and sensing the power of the Barrier, dared not approach Baili An’s position any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the dark tide scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that space, apart from the light drizzle, there was silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the blood-stained underbrush; a small creature burst from the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With long drooping ears, a fluffy body, white fur, round watery eyes with red pupils, and a small round mouth, it limped in terror out from the deep forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s calm expression finally changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His leaning body straightened up, staring intently at the grass ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the depths of the grass lit by Array Light, a low rumbling sound rose, a massive shadow like a night curtain falling from the sky, enveloping the small rabbit on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow, wrapped in ominous darkness, bore a menacing presence before even striking; yet the ground bound by the monstrous shadow twisted wildly like a devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small rabbit, with short trembling legs, desperately ran despite being injured, moving faster than ordinary rabbits, like a tiny bolt of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the twisting shadow on the ground had already formed a cage, trapping the little creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking across, dark eyes met the rabbit’s red ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong wind stirred in the mountain valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, the Array Light caused a ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the barren rock, the silhouette of the youth had already vanished from its place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he appeared before the shadow, his Autumnwater Sword slicing through the chaotic, blood-stained grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Qi, meticulously controlled, left the grass unharmed but lifted sparkling blood droplets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his sword, the blade splitting the air, it hummed, reminiscent of a village song amidst the night fishing fires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soaring blood droplets, turned into sharp lines of blood in midair by the Sword Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Baili An’s arm was raised overhead, his sword tip pointing skyward, the blood lines surged toward the massive shadow hanging above the woods, followed by a tearing sound, the great shadow shook violently two times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In what seemed an immensely brief moment, Baili An trembled his wrist lightly, plunged the sword tip downward, deeply into the shadowed earth, with a splashing sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the point where the sword met the earth, a large spray of foul-smelling fresh blood emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true body of that shadow wasn’t before him but hidden beneath the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","90f69fb26fc02d6161f6b25d1787b6a7ba561915297478f0974c71af7c4d9b15","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-84","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-83",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
