Chapter 604: The Dark Race of the Eternal Night Land, and the Fire of Hope of Immortal Technique

"Hmm?!"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He sensed that although this massive city had become a ruin, a large number of Dark Race creatures were still hidden deep within; this place was practically a nest for Dark Race creatures.

Once one stepped inside, they would likely immediately encounter a siege by Dark Race creatures.

If he did not possess Heart Eye Power, he might have fallen into the enemy's trap.

Among these Dark Race creatures, there were even monsters at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Rumble~~~

At this very moment, the entire ruined city immediately began to boil, endless Dark energy churning, as if the Dark Race creatures sleeping in the ruins had awakened at the first possible moment.

Waves of terrifying auras shot straight into the clouds, like pillars of Darkness, shrouding an area of hundreds of millions of miles in radius.

The next second, one figure after another flew out from within.

Their bodies were five meters tall, like demons; they had human bodies, two Dark antennae growing from their heads, ferocious expressions, and dense Dark Runes appearing on their bodies.

It seemed that while in the Eternal Night, their power could continuously increase.

It could be said that nine Great Luo Golden Immortal-level Dark Race creatures appeared all at once.

"A Human? It's actually a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Human Race?!"

"Haha, this is truly wonderful. I didn't expect that just as we awakened, we would encounter such a high-quality prey."

"I can feel the strength of this Human Great Luo Golden Immortal's physique; it is definitely a top-tier vessel."

"Don't fight me for it, everyone; I, Aramu, want this vessel."

"Get lost; I, Yuduoyunuo, have taken a liking to this Human immortal. Whoever fights me for it is my enemy."

Suddenly, the many Dark Race creatures began to call out excitedly.

Their language was completely different from the languages of the various races in the Immortal World; it consisted of twisted Dark notes, and even the sound of their speech contained terrifying infectious and Curse power.

If an ordinary living being's Soul power was not strong enough, they might be Cursed and suffer the erosion of Dark power.

Yet, Zhou Sui happened to be able to understand the scripts and languages of all things; even languages and scripts he had never heard of before, he could learn instantly, so he immediately understood the words of these Dark Race creatures.

To be honest, he also did not expect these Dark Race creatures to actually possess self-will and great intelligence.

Originally, he had thought that the Eternal Night Land was filled with a bunch of monsters without any intelligence.

Clearly, the Eternal Night Land was even more mysterious and unfathomable than he had imagined.

"Who exactly are you all?"

At this very moment, Zhou Sui looked at this group of Dark Race creatures and also spoke in the language of the Dark Race.

But as soon as these words were spoken, the many Dark Race creatures immediately fell silent.

They all looked at Zhou Sui with great astonishment; after all, it was the first time they had seen someone who actually understood their race's language, which was truly inconceivable.

"You Human immortal actually understand the language of our Dark Race? Where exactly did you learn it from?"

The one speaking was the Dark Race creature Aramu.

It felt increasingly curious about this Human immortal.

After all, living beings who understood the Dark Race language almost did not exist.

Because this was a special Dark Language that only the Dark Race could learn, containing incredible power.

"There is no need to ask anything at all."

"As long as we capture this brat and devour his Soul, we will naturally know the secrets he carries."

"It can only be blamed on this brat's bad luck that he happened to run into us awakening; today is his death day."

"However, this is also his honor; being able to become a vessel for our Dark Race is a great glory."

The many Dark Race creatures stared at Zhou Sui, the killing intent on their bodies impossible to suppress.

They looked at Zhou Sui as if they were looking at fish on a chopping block.

Each one was full of mockery, their pupils revealing evil and cruelty deep within.

"You are right; I have indeed said too much nonsense to you all."

"If I want to know any information, I can just obtain it from your Souls."

Zhou Sui nodded; he also felt that these words made a lot of sense. There was no doubt that these Dark Race creatures could not be communicated with, and they were completely different from other races in the Immortal World.

He could feel intense hostility and killing intent arising within himself toward these Dark Race creatures.

Even though it was his first time encountering them, he instantly knew that they must be the mortal enemies of the countless living beings in the Immortal World.

For no reason at all, these Dark Race creatures had to be completely killed.

They were the malignant tumor of this world, the common enemy of all races.

Boom~~

In an instant, the nine Great Luo Golden Immortals struck fiercely. They channeled boundless Dark energy, and one after another, terrifying Dark giant hands slapped down, like Dark worlds crushing down, causing terrifying destructive power.

It seemed as if the Dark energy in an area of hundreds of millions of kilometers had gathered together.

Staying in this area was like being an enemy of this entire world.

There was no doubt that these Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dark Race occupied an absolute geographical advantage by staying in the Eternal Night Land.

They could recklessly channel the Dark energy of this region and exert several times their original combat power.

With a single strike, it felt as if they were going to completely shatter this Void.

Cracks appeared in the surrounding Void, like spiderwebs, covering the surrounding space-time.

Any Great Luo Golden Immortal staying here would find it hard to resist and could only be shattered.

"Immortal Technique—Samsara Pure Land."

At this moment, Zhou Sui stood where he was, neither dodging nor evading, and immediately activated his Life-Bound Immortal Art.

With his body as the center, it seemed to instantly transform into an absolute Pure Land, an absolute space-time Domain, as if the space-time of this region had frozen in this very second.

Absolute Space-Time Barriers emerged all around, shrouding every direction.

This was a Life-Bound Immortal Art from the Dragon Elephant Gu; once deployed, it could condense a Pure Land, and one residing within this Pure Land would be immune to all techniques, eternally at ease.

It could even completely devour the enemy's attack power and convert it into one's own strength.

This was the absolute defense of the Dragon Elephant Gu, profound and infinite.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Instantly, waves of terrifying World Power and Darkness power crushed down, slamming into the Samsara Pure Land.

The nine Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dark Race attacked collectively, and the destructive power within was simply heaven-shaking and earth-shattering.

Yet, upon landing on the Samsara Pure Land, it was as if meteorites were falling into the vast ocean.

All destructive power was devoured clean.

This energy even transformed into a part of the Samsara Pure Land, expanding the area of the Pure Land.

Zhou Sui stayed in the very center of the Samsara Pure Land, like a deity; no technique could approach his body, and any energy would be devoured completely.

"How is this possible? Our attacks actually have no effect at all?!"

Seeing this scene, the nine Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dark Race widened their eyes, simply unable to believe what they were seeing before them; this was truly too exaggerated and inconceivable.

One must know that as Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dark Race, their combat power was inherently superior to that of ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Coupled with the fact that they were in the Eternal Night Land, gaining the support of the infinite Darkness energy all around, this caused their combat power to increase by a full three times.

In this way, with many bullying the few, there was basically no possibility of failure.

Ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals were simply vulnerable.

But now, the Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Human Race before them was not even moving.

Relying solely on one Immortal Technique, he had blocked all of their attacks.

They had not held back just now, but had exerted their full strength.

That was why they felt so shocked, so incredulous; they had no idea how this brat had managed to do it.

For a time, this group of Dark Race Great Luo Golden Immortals had very grave expressions; there was no doubt they had encountered an unprecedented opponent, but even so, they were not worried.

Because in the Eternal Night Land, they were invincible existences; it was impossible for anyone to be able to defeat them.

"Kill!"

Zhou Sui sensed that the Samsara Pure Land on his body had devoured all their destructive power, and could even reflect this destructive power back, using their own way to treat them.

This was the formidable aspect of the Immortal Technique Samsara Pure Land.

Immortal Technique—Heavenly Emperor Imprisoning Heaven Palm.

In this instant, he took a step forward, and in the Void, a palm descended from the sky.

The massive World Power within his body, plus the power devoured by the Samsara Pure Land, converged together to form a palm of the Heavenly Emperor, permeated with a terrifying imperial aura.

It seemed that staying here, he was the supreme Heavenly Emperor governing billions of trillions of living beings, wielding supreme authority.

Boom!

Above the sky, a dark golden Heavenly Emperor's palm immediately appeared, almost condensed into substance, and the patterns on the palm were all lines of Heavenly Law.

The moment it appeared, this Heavenly Emperor's palm seemed to control this space-time, causing this space-time to solidify, and infinite living beings were bound within this small world.

The nine Great Luo Golden Immortals from the Dark Race were exactly like this.

They sensed that they had been completely locked onto by this Heavenly Emperor's palm; they were like ants, only able to linger on and gasp for breath under this palm.

Boom~~~

Before they could react, this giant dark golden palm descended from the sky; the entire earth could not withstand this terrifying pressure, and cracks actually appeared.

This land even emitted a roaring sound, producing countless fissures.

Even before reaching the ground, a giant palm spanning billions of miles appeared.

"Oh no."

The expressions of the nine Great Luo Golden Immortals changed; they had nowhere to hide and could only bear this strike head-on.

They were like ants, directly slapped onto the ground.

At the same time, the terrifying destructive power erupted instantly, infiltrating every corner of their bodies, intending to make them vanish into thin air, disappear completely from this world, and then turn into dust.

For a time, they smashed heavily onto the earth, emitting shrill screams.

"Hmm?! They didn't die after all?!"

At this moment, Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; he sensed that after the nine Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dark Race took his palm, although they suffered a terrifying blow and their bodies developed dense cracks, they had sustained serious injuries.

But even so, they still did not die.

It was just that their shells had completely shattered, exposing their true forms.

Instantly, clusters of Darkness energy appeared on the ground.

They had no specific form, merely being clusters of Darkness energy.

But they were permeated with auras of darkness, evil, erosion, destruction, and so on, as if they were a collection of Darkness.

Appearing in this world, they existed to plunder all the vitality and sunlight of this world.

It was simply chilling.

They were fundamentally the enemies of all living beings.

"You bastard, damn Human Race immortal, you actually destroyed our shells."

"You have completely angered us, completely angered us."

"This time we will tear you into ten thousand pieces, and burn your Soul on the fire of Darkness for billions of years."

"We will make you unable to live and unable to die."

The nine Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dark Race were both shocked and furious; they were incomparably angry, wishing they could immediately tear this Human Race immortal to shreds.

Having lived for so long, this was the first time they had encountered such humiliation.

Clearly, they were merely weak Human Race immortals, yet they were actually able to force them to this extent.

This is simply a supreme humiliation.

"So that's how it is; is this the true form of you Dark Race?"

"In other words, the flesh and blood bodies from just now were obtained by possessing the bodies of other races?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He instantly saw through some of the Dark Race's innate talents, which was the ability to possess the shells of other living beings, occupying their shells to achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

That is why these Dark Race beings were so eager to possess those powerful bodies.

For them, this was an opportunity to enhance their own strength, so naturally, it could not be missed.

"That's right, this is the talent of our Dark Race, being able to possess the shells of other races."

"We are originally just a mass of Darkness energy and do not have a fixed form."

"I didn't expect that after just one exchange, you would be able to see through some of our Dark Race's talents."

"You are indeed a great enemy of our Dark Race; today you must die here."

The Dark Race Great Luo Golden Immortal looked at Zhou Sui, the killing intent on them growing heavier.

Without a doubt, this Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortal before them was indeed a powerful enemy of the Dark Race.

Perhaps, just like those heroes in the history of the Immortal World, they would bring unprecedented threats to the Dark Race.

Therefore, no matter what, they needed to keep this person here completely.

Otherwise, who knows how much trouble they would bring to the Dark Race in the future.

"Oh, did you not realize the gap between you and me just now?"

"You actually still want to kill me?"

"Could it be that you have other tricks up your sleeves?"

Zhou Sui looked calmly at this group of Dark Race Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"Stupid, the power of our Dark Race is not something you low-level races can imagine."

"Dark Fusion."

The nine Dark Race Great Luo Golden Immortals shouted in unison.

Instantly, the nine masses of Darkness energy actually merged into one in an instant, forming an even more powerful mass of Darkness energy.

At the same time, the Darkness energy on them increased geometrically.

One could see dense Dark Runes emerging on this mass of Darkness energy, permeating with auras of distortion, evil, devouring, destruction, death, and so on, making one's hair stand on end.

It seemed as if such Darkness could devour endless spatial dimensions.

Such power had shockingly reached the level of a Half-step Immortal King.

"You can actually fuse? Is this a characteristic of the Dark Race?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; he wanted to know more characteristics and powers of the Dark Race.

He felt that the Dark Race would definitely be an unprecedented great enemy for him in the future.

"Go to hell."

Before Zhou Sui could say anything, this mass of Darkness energy moved instantly, rushing toward Zhou Sui with lightning speed, appearing to transform into a black shadow that arrived directly upon Zhou Sui.

"Haha, stupid Human Race immortal, your body belongs to us now."

"This is our Dark Race's Possession Technique; any living being we get close to will have their Soul devoured and their shell possessed by us, and even the most powerful immortal cannot resist it."

"The number of powerful immortals who have died to our Dark Race's Possession Technique is countless, and you are no exception."

Suddenly, this mass of Darkness energy immediately erupted with voices, appearing triumphant.

Without a doubt, the Dark Race's possession talent was extremely powerful and terrifying.

They could easily merge into time and space, merge into the Darkness, and as long as there was a sliver of a gap, it was impossible to block the Dark Race's invasion and erosion.

In history, who knows how many immortals fell for the Dark Race's tricks, resulting in their Souls being devoured and their shells being possessed.

Boom—

At this moment, wisps of Darkness energy seeped into the body of the Zhou Sui clone, instantly wrapping the clone's body completely and forming a sphere of Darkness.

Once the erosion was complete, the Zhou Sui clone would surely die.

Even struggling would have no effect.

As long as there was a sliver of Darkness energy, the Dark Race beings would invade the body.

It was like a bone-gnawing maggot, impossible to shake off.

One could only watch helplessly as their own body and Soul were corroded away completely.

This was the terror of the Dark Race.

Moreover, if one were eroded by massive Darkness energy, they would become a Puppet of the Dark Race and be transformed into a dark creature.

Of course, if one could not resist the erosion of the Darkness energy, they would be a dark creature, a dark Puppet.

Only if one could withstand it and retain their self-will would they be considered a member of the Dark Race.

"Too stupid, actually daring to actively enter my body."

"You are simply courting death."

Zhou Sui's voice came out, without joy or sorrow, without the slightest panic.

"How is this possible? This is only a clone? Where did the Soul of the main body go?"

"How could a mere clone be so powerful?"

"Damn it, fire, flames have suddenly emerged from this bastard's body; what kind of fire is this?"

"It seems not to come from any immortal fire in the Immortal World; it is simply unheard of."

"Why is the damage to us so great? What exactly is this fire?"

In an instant, the expressions of the many Dark Race Great Luo Golden Immortals changed drastically.

They immediately discovered that they had provoked huge trouble; the shell they wanted to possess was merely a clone, not the true body at all, and their possession plan had failed from the very beginning.

What was even more terrifying was that this body actually released wisps of golden flames, enveloping the entire body, appearing as if it had transformed into a giant golden torch.

Moreover, this kind of flame had immense lethality toward Dark Race creatures.

It was as if fire had encountered gasoline, igniting instantly.

They sensed unprecedented pain, as if they were suffering from severe torture.

One by one, they could not help but let out shrill screams.

Without a doubt, this was an Immortal Technique—Hope Fire, a Heavenly Immortal Art originating from the Luck Gu.

After being ignited on Zhou Sui, it immediately began to burn fiercely.

This group of Dark Race creatures was set ablaze, with nowhere to hide, burning from the inside out.

Originally, if they had fled directly, perhaps one or two might have escaped.

But now, by courting death and attempting to possess his shell, they were purely seeking their own destruction.

"Ahhh!!!"

Suddenly, this group of Dark Race Great Luo Golden Immortals let out screams, but they did not scream for long.

In just the time of a single breath, they were burned to ashes and completely vanished from this world.

Rumble~~

The moment they died, the Void immediately split open, and streams of golden light surged out.

This was a gift from the Heavenly Dao, the Source Energy from the Immortal World.

It was purer than any Immortal Medicine or any Immortal Pill.

"To think I obtained such a large amount of Source Energy?!"

Zhou Sui widened his eyes; he had not expected that after slaying nine Dark Race Great Luo Golden Immortals, he would receive such a massive gift from the Heavenly Dao, ten times more than all the many dark creatures he had hunted just moments ago combined.

It was imaginable just how much Source Energy he had obtained.

Without a doubt, such a gift from the Heavenly Dao alone was enough to allow any Great Luo Golden Immortal to ascend to the perfection realm.

It was a pity that he was not an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal.

If compared by their inner worlds, even the Inner Cave Heaven of hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals combined could not compare to his, which also resulted in the Source Energy he required being more than that of hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals combined.

Therefore, this Source Energy was completely sufficient for other Great Luo Golden Immortals.

But for him, it was merely equivalent to saving tens of billions of years of bitter cultivation.

Of course, this was already a quite decent harvest.

"There are still many dark creatures in the entire ruined city; let's kill them all."

Zhou Sui's Heart Eye Power swept across the entire ruined city.

He sensed countless dark creatures hiding in every corner of the buildings.

If an ordinary immortal were to enter the ruined city, they might encounter their sneak attacks.

But he would not enter the city at all.

Boom~~~

In an instant, Zhou Sui circulated the Hope Fire within his body, and with his body as the center, terrifying golden flames erupted instantly, forming a boundless sea of fire.

In just a fleeting moment, it enveloped the billions of miles of the ruined city, covering every single corner.

It was as if this ruined city had been set on fire.

At the same time, a massive amount of Living Being Wish Power was being consumed rapidly.

Fortunately, over these years, Zhou Sui had accumulated vast Living Being Wish Power; otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand such consumption.

"Ahhh, damn Human Race immortal."

"What kind of flame is this, why can it not be extinguished on me?"

"Abominable human, we will not let you go; just wait, the Dark Race army will soon raze your Human Race to the ground, and no one will survive."

"This world will eventually fall into eternal night; light cannot possibly continue to exist."

Suddenly, inside the ruined city, countless dark creatures let out shrill screams.

Facing the burning of the Hope Fire, they had absolutely no power to resist.

In just a fleeting moment, they were burned to ashes.

Thus, they could only emit sounds of hatred, roaring, and anger.

Unfortunately, it had no effect on Zhou Sui; after all, this was merely crushing a group of ants.

To him, there would be no ripples in his heart.
