Chapter 2381 Shadows (5)
So... this is the power of the new era...?
These were his last thoughts.
The black sun silently shone on the earth, distorting light and shadow, and the dark light engulfed Yinghui's body.
There was no explosion, only utter annihilation.
The moment Ying Hui's heavy black armor came into contact with the dark fire, it melted away like ice and snow under the sun.
His body, the greatsword in his hand, and every trace of his existence were decomposed into the most basic particles in the silent, burning black sun, turning into nothingness without leaving even a trace of ash.
When the black sun finally dissipated, it left behind only a smooth, mirror-like hemispherical crater with a diameter of over 10,000 meters!
At the edge of the giant crater, wisps of chilling dark energy still lingered.
Zhang Yi slowly descended, standing on the edge of the giant pit, his armor trembling, and the core furnace gradually dimming.
The surrounding air was distorted by the extreme heat generated by the energy radiation, but it was difficult to burn Zhang Yi, who was protected by thick armor.
A duel between knights has come to an end in the most extreme and brutal way.
……
Standing on the edge of the hemispherical crater, which was a hundred meters in diameter, Zhang Yi slowly calmed the surging energy within his body.
The cracks on the Demon God Armor were repairing themselves at a visible speed, emitting a faint hum.
He felt the flow of power within his body, and an unprecedented sense of clarity welled up in his heart.
Ying Hui, the former Dark Moon Empire knight commander with an ability index of 51000, was defeated head-on by him single-handedly, relying on his own strength, until he was completely annihilated.
This is not a shortcut, nor is it relying on external forces; it is a real result achieved by utilizing one's own abilities to the fullest extent!
The absolute defense of all things, the causal prediction of the second hand of time, the rule annihilation of the dark realm, and the final ultimate blow that gathers all things and blasphemes against the gods... these abilities have been integrated into his hands.
"It turns out that, without realizing it, I have already come to this point."
The warehouse manager who was once only concerned with survival and had nothing to offer except for his handsome appearance has now grown into a powerful life form.
"Looking at the material world over the past 4.6 billion years, all life forms should be considered to be of considerable strength."
"Aside from those who dominate an era and are at the very top of the top-tier biological groups, there is probably no one who can reliably defeat me."
A white figure subconsciously appeared in Zhang Yi's mind.
Bai Longzi left an extremely deep impression on him.
He was a little nervous.
Before becoming a knight, he viewed Bai Longzi as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; after entering the knight realm, he saw Bai Longzi as a mayfly looking at the blue sky.
He guessed that Bai Longzi's superpower index must be at least 60000 points. And this "above" is not just a little bit.
As Zhang Yi felt his own power source stabilize at 45000 points, yet became increasingly refined and profound due to his deep understanding, a powerful sense of confidence rose within him.
Even though there are still formidable enemies ahead, he is now certain that he has the qualifications to carve out his own niche in this desolate place.
He raised his hand and gestured, and from the depths of the giant pit, a highly condensed, yet no longer hostile, dark red energy point slowly rose and disappeared into his palm.
This is the purest source of supernatural power left behind by Ying Hui, and it still contains his last lingering resentment.
The energy entering his body brought not only a subtle increase in strength, but also a fragmented image and intense emotions that impacted Zhang Yi's consciousness:
It was a grand yet oppressive Dark Moon Palace, where seven figures, perched atop a throne and shrouded in the hazy glow of the dark moon, were indistinct, yet their absolute majesty could be felt.
The young Shadow, holding his battle helmet, revealed a resolute yet indignant face. He raised his head to face the seven Black Moon Priests, his voice suppressing his anger:
"Why can't I become the next Black Moon Priest?! With my strength and my battle achievements, I far surpass any candidate of this generation! Just because I am male, am I forever disqualified from touching the authority of the Black Moon Priest? Is this fair?!"
That intense will to resist the injustice of fate was as clear as a brand.
It turns out that the root of this powerful knight commander's rebellion lies in the Dark Moon Empire's seemingly unshakable tradition of having only females serve as high priests.
Even the greatest power cannot ultimately overcome the shackles of rules.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the power wasn't strong enough to overthrow everything.
Zhang Yi shrugged and immediately put it out of his mind.
He didn't understand the Lunarians' petty affairs, and he wasn't interested in knowing why the two great Lunarian empires were ruled by women.
Perhaps this has something to do with the Yin-Yang philosophy of the Huaxu Kingdom? Or perhaps not. In any case, Zhang Yi was just guessing and didn't care at all.
Everyone's path is different. Ying Hui chose to rebel against the old order and perished, while Zhang Yi is going to walk his own path.
After absorbing the source, his gaze became even more profound.
Within a single day, he devoured the essence of two White Knight-level superhumans, and it will take him a long time to fully transform them.
However, at the same time, this also stirred a strong thought in his mind.
The Ice Age has only been going on for five years, and according to many ancient civilizations, the real end times are yet to come.
Therefore, the number of ancient civilizations that have appeared in the world is less than ten.
Of these, the fifth-generation civilizations alone accounted for the majority.
The dragon race beneath the Qinling Mountains, the three-headed serpent race beneath Bharata, the land by the lake beneath Japan, and the demon kingdom beneath the Southwest Region whose civilization has been severed...
The material world has existed for over four billion years, and God knows how many eras of humankind have existed.
Even the sixth generation, in just a million years, has already divided into two types: land people and sea people.
"Our understanding of this world is still too shallow."
"In the future, we may unveil the mysteries of more ancient civilizations. But their successive appearances may also mean that the real end is coming."
Zhang Yi had such feelings in his heart.
There was no point in daydreaming, so he discarded these useless thoughts and lifted the restrictions on the Infinite Sword Domain.
The group returned to the outside world, facing the dark and gloomy Dark Sun Forest.
He teleported through space and appeared in front of Brian and Yang Xinxin.
Brian stared at him with admiration and said, "Hi, bro, you've gotten even better!"
Zhang Yi said to it, "If you use one-tenth of the time you spend playing with silicone to improve yourself, I believe you will reach the knight level very soon."
Brian is the world's number one genius—at least in the dog world.
