Chapter 735: Hidden Truth, Hun Dun Lurking

The True Dragon of the Vast Sea recalled the powerful strength the dragon race was so proud of.

But no matter how powerful that strength was, it could not resist the fundamental laws of the universe.

Even Immortals must face death, and even gods will decline.

Lin Xuan felt an unprecedented shock.

What the Lord of Nothingness displayed was not a malicious lie, but a cruel truth.

Just as the debate between Lin Xuan and the Lord of Nothingness reached its most intense moment, Tianjizi suddenly sensed an abnormal fluctuation.

This fluctuation was extremely faint, cleverly hidden within the intense clash between the Light of Creation and the Power of Nothingness.

If not for his keen perception of evil forces over thousands of years, it would have been impossible to detect.

"What is this?" Tianjizi endured the excruciating pain of his bloodline sacrifice and began to investigate carefully.

He discovered that this power belonged neither to Lin Xuan's Power of Creation nor to the Lord of Nothingness's Power of Nothingness.

Instead, it was a completely different existence, ancient and evil.

What shocked him even more was that this power seemed to be absorbing something from the collision of the two great forces.

Whenever the Light of Creation and the Power of Nothingness clashed violently, this hidden power would become more active.

"Something is wrong." Tianjizi gritted his teeth and began to use his remaining divine sense.

As a former peak Transformation Stage powerhouse, even in his sacrificial state, his perception remained sharp.

His divine sense extended out like silk threads, cautiously probing the source of this abnormal power.

As the investigation deepened, Tianjizi's expression became increasingly grave.

The aura of this power made him feel familiar, a sense of familiarity that was unsettling.

"This aura... how could it..."

Suddenly, a painful memory surged into his mind.

It was the scene from thousands of years ago, when he had just been controlled by the curse.

At the time, he thought it was the power of the Lord of Nothingness that controlled him.

But now, reflecting carefully, that curse seemed to have been mixed with something else.

A more ancient, more evil existence.

"My curse... does it not come entirely from the Lord of Nothingness?"

Tianjizi began to re-examine his experiences over the past thousands of years.

Every time he was forced to commit evil acts, every time his consciousness was forcibly suppressed.

In those painful memories, there indeed existed other things that did not belong to the Power of Nothingness.

"There is a Third Party manipulating everything!"

This realization struck his soul like a thunderbolt.

If his deduction was correct, then the opposition between the Creator and the Lord of Nothingness.

Might not be naturally formed, but deliberately provoked by some existence.

At the same time, Bai Suxue also sensed the abnormality.

The bloodline inheritance of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan contained many ancient memory fragments.

These memories were usually in a dormant state and would only be activated under special circumstances.

And the duel between Creation and Nothingness before her eyes had just triggered a certain ancient memory.

Blurred images emerged in her mind.

It was the scene when the universe was just born, a state of primordial Hun Dun.

In that era, Creation and Nothingness were not opposed, but interdependent.

Creation was responsible for producing new existence, and Nothingness was responsible for recycling old existence.

The two maintained a delicate balance, sustaining the normal operation of the universe.

"Wait... this memory..."

Bai Suxue struggled to recall the ancient knowledge within her bloodline inheritance.

The ancestor of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan had once recorded a terrifying legend.

About a horrific existence known as the "Hun Dun Devourer".

This existence was born in the state of Hun Dun at the beginning of the universe.

It had no fixed form, no clear purpose.

Its only instinct was to create opposition and conflict.

By provoking wars between different forces, it could absorb energy from the conflict.

"Hun Dun Devourer... could it really exist?"

Bai Suxue carefully searched for information in her bloodline memories.

In the legend, the Hun Dun Devourer was most adept at sowing discord.

It would lurk in the conflicts between opposing sides, secretly fanning the flames.

Making conflicts that might have been reconciled become irreconcilable.

Making minor disagreements evolve into full-scale wars.

And it would hide in the Yinying, growing from the energy of the war.

"If the legend is true..."

Bai Suxue thought of a terrifying possibility.

Everything happening before her eyes could be a conspiracy plotted by the Hun Dun Devourer.

The opposition between the Creator and the Lord of Nothingness, the battle between Lin Xuan and the Lord of Nothingness.

Even the curse that Tianjizi has endured for thousands of years.

Everything might be for the sake of creating a greater conflict.

Although the Vast Sea True Dragon is enduring the most intense impact of the Void, his innate keen instincts as a dragon allow him to sense danger.

The dragon race has an extremely strong ability to perceive malice; this is a survival skill they acquired through long evolution.

Now, this instinct is frantically warning him.

Something is eyeing him covetously in the darkness, waiting for the best moment to strike.

"It is not the Lord of the Void... there is another enemy."

The Vast Sea True Dragon struggles to maintain the bloodline sacrifice while diverting part of his attention to observe his surroundings.

Although he cannot see a specific threat, he can feel the existence of that malice.

It is like a small animal being stared at by a venomous snake, with chills running down his back.

The intuition of the dragon race tells him that the true danger has not yet appeared.

Although the battle before his eyes is intense, it may only be an appetizer.

A greater threat is secretly gathering strength.

Although the three sacrificers are in pain, the bloodline connection between them still exists.

Through this connection, they begin to communicate their respective discoveries.

"Senior Tianjizi, have you felt it?" Bai Suxue asks within the bloodline connection.

"The existence of a third force, I have felt it," Tianjizi responds.

"And I suspect that my curse of thousands of years is related to this force."

"The legends of the Nine-Tailed Fox race have mentioned a similar existence," Bai Suxue says.

"A terrifying creature known as the Hun Dun Devourer, which specializes in inciting conflicts to strengthen itself."

"The instincts of the dragon race are also warning me," the Vast Sea True Dragon adds.

"There is a greater threat waiting in the shadows."

The three people's findings are pooled together, and a terrifying truth begins to emerge.

The opposition between the Creator and the Lord of the Void may not have formed by Nature.

Instead, it was deliberately incited by the Hun Dun Devourer.

This existence hidden behind the scenes gains power by creating conflicts.

It first cursed Tianjizi, making him the embodiment of evil.

Then it incited the opposition between the righteous path and the evil path, creating countless conflicts.

Now it is using the awakening of the Lord of the Void to trigger a larger-scale war.

And the awakening of Lin Xuan's Creation bloodline has given it a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

The ultimate showdown between Creation and the Void will produce an unprecedented energy conflict.

This is exactly the feast the Hun Dun Devourer dreams of.

"We must warn Lin Xuan," Tianjizi says urgently within the bloodline connection.

"This battle might be playing right into the enemy's hands."

But just at this moment, the hidden threat begins to reveal its true form.
