875 A Brewing War

Above the portal of the Primordial Shadow Realm, a figure clad in black clothes was hidden inside the void.

The figure was surrounded by a strange aura that prevented anyone from seeing its real appearance. The face of the figure, hidden behind its black clothes, was very serious as it looked at a ball of black energy floating in front of it.

The figure stared at the ball of black energy and continued to move its hands, creating strange seals in the middle of the void. As the figure inside the void created the seals, its body kept shaking and cold sweat covered its forehead.

After a few minutes, the figure stroked its hand one last time and finally stopped creating the seals.

The moment the figure stopped creating the seals, a strange energy filled the void and the black ball that was floating in front of the figure started to shake.

Slowly, the energy that filled the void seeped inside the black ball and the black ball started to split.

In just a few seconds, the fist-sized black ball was split into four parts. One part of the ball was still black, one part was pure white, one part was golden and the last part was a bit strange because it continuously changed its color. Sometimes it was blue, sometimes it was purple, sometimes grey and many other colours.

The figure clad in black looked at the four small balls of energy in front of it with narrowed eyes.

It wasn't surprised when it saw the black, white, and golden parts, but upon looking at the part that was continuously changing colour, a look of confusion flashed inside its eyes.

"So there is really something wrong with this energy," The figure said while panting a little. From its rough breathing, it was clear that the seals that it created earlier in order to split the black energy into four parts took a toll on its body.

The figure hidden inside the void was the same person who tried to help Malphasar during his fight against Valtair. (Chap- 377)

The ball of black energy that just split into four parts was Primordial Shadow Energy.

The figure had collected a little bit of Primordial Shadow Energy when the Shadow Realm evolved into the Primordial Shadow Realm and an outburst of Primordial Shadow Energy happened during the evolution process, wiping out all the demons who were guarding the portal. (Chap- 696)

The figure clad in black was very knowledgeable about shadow energy and knew that shadow energy was made from the combination of three conceptual energies: the Conceptual Energy of Death (Black Part), the Conceptual Energy of Soul (White Part), and the Conceptual Energy of Life (Golden Part).

Although it was strange for shadow energy to possess both death and life energy, it was true that there were two completely opposite energies mixed inside the Shadow Energy.

For shadow to exist, light was needed, and the conceptual energy of life was that light in the case of shadow energy.

The figure clad in black had studied shadow energy in the past, so it knew about these three energies, but when the outburst of the shadow energy happened during the evolution of the Shadow Realm, the figure felt that this shadow energy was a bit different, which is why it collected a little bit of shadow energy and tried to find out more about it.

And after more than three months, it finally succeeded in separating all the mixed energies inside the Primordial Shadow Energy.

"Just what is this new energy?" The figure muttered in a confused voice as it looked at the last energy that was continuously changing colour.

The figure didn't like this kind of development because it was outside of its prediction.

From the portal of the Shadow Realm, it could feel that not only the shadow energy, but even the entire Shadow Realm changed somehow after the outburst of the energy that happened around three months ago.

"This sudden change must have happened because he arrived in Utopia, but according to my calculations, nothing like this should have happened," The figure muttered and a sense of urgency welled up inside its heart. It felt that all the plans that it created in the past few thousand years were being affected because of this unexpected development.

The figure tried to touch the energy that was constantly changing colour, but its hand passed through it and it wasn't able to receive any information from it.

"Even the fate mark that I left on his soul disappeared around three months ago," The figure muttered in a low voice and looked at the white part of the Primordial Shadow Energy that was floating in front of it.

"Did the fate mark disappear because his shadow energy evolved into something unexpected?" The figure said to himself in an uncertain voice and sighed loudly.

"I need to know what is going on."

As the figure was thinking, it suddenly felt something and looked at the demons who were stationed around the Shadow Realm and noticed all of them were looking quite excited.

"What's wrong with them?" The figure raised an eyebrow as it didn't understand why the demons were excited.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, the figure turned its head and looked at the far distance.

As the figure looked in the distance, it saw many new demons coming towards the Shadow Realm.

"Why are new demons coming here?" The figure raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at the newly arrived demons that were approaching the shadow realm.

Upon looking at the newly arrived demons closely, the figure noticed the demon in the lead of their group was a Beginner-

level Rank Six Core Evolver.

Seeing a Rank Six demon, who was almost at the top of Utopia in terms of power coming towards the Shadow Realm, something clicked in the figure's mind and its eyes opened wide in shock.

"Don't tell me these guys are finally planning to attack the Shadow Realm."
