#347 - Dark Force

In the main city of the Starry Sky Realm, Jun Wuxie stood before a dilapidated old house.

Could it be that the old man wouldn't recognize him?

After all, the difference between his current appearance and that of the ten-year-old child was too great.

However, if the old man was truly the father of the first generation Order Administrator, then he would definitely recognize him. If he didn't, then it would mean he had made a mistake.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

As a result, as soon as he knocked, the door bolt fell off and clattered to the ground.

"Ah, ah, you broke someone's door, I saw it, don't you think about running away!"

Two children passing by, one of them pointed at him and shouted loudly.

Jun Wuxie was immediately speechless. Was this old man's door trying to scam him?

For it to fall off like that, how broken did it have to be?

At this moment, another child ran forward and said mysteriously to Jun Wuxie, "Big brother, let me tell you, there's a weird old man living inside, he's very scary, don't you dare go in."

After the child finished speaking, he bent down to pick up the door bolt from the ground.

Then, in Jun Wuxie's dumbfounded gaze, he vigorously dug his nostril, dug out a booger, rubbed it with his hand, and pressed it onto the door bolt, then stuck the door bolt back onto the door.

"Hahaha!" He looked at Jun Wuxie with an expression that seemed to say, 'Aren't I amazing?', and said, "All done! Goodbye, big brother, don't go in."

Jun Wuxie's lips twitched as he watched the two mischievous children skip away and disappear from sight.

This works?

He looked at the door bolt on the door. Was the snot secreted from that little brat's nose super glue?

At this moment, the door creaked open from the inside, revealing the old man's withered, messy hair and old face with two scars.

The door bolt fell to the ground with a thud.

The old man picked it up and looked at it, noticed the stuff on it, turned his head to look at the street, and muttered, "Those two little monkeys are being naughty again."

After saying that, he slapped the door bolt onto the door, then looked at Jun Wuxie, sized him up a few times, and said, "Young friend, how did you handle the matter that this old man entrusted to you?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the crowds of people coming and going on the street, and said, "Old man, do you want me to tell you here?"

The old man smiled and made way for him.

Jun Wuxie followed him to the backyard, feeling inexplicably uneasy in his heart, his eyes always involuntarily looking towards the woodshed.

It was just that the door of the woodshed was closed, and he couldn't see the terrifying scene inside.

In the backyard, a few withered leaves fell sporadically from the old locust tree.

The old man suddenly turned around, stood under the locust tree and looked at him, his expression gradually becoming excited, and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him as if his life depended on it, "Did you find my daughter? Did you find her?"

"Old man, don't get excited, I'm about to be shaken to the point of vomiting!"

Jun Wuxie really wanted to slap him, if he could beat him.

This guy was acting like he had epilepsy.

"Tell me, did you find her or not?"

The old man's eyes were bloodshot, filled with red veins, looking somewhat frightening.

"I'm not sure if that's your daughter, you first tell me, is your daughter the first generation Order Administrator of the Spirit Void Realm?"

"Found her! You found her!" The old man instantly burst into tears, trembling with excitement, and said, "Where's my daughter, where is she?"

Sure enough, the old man's daughter was really the first generation Order Administrator, then the old man's identity was also extraordinary.

It's just that, after so many years, why didn't he go looking for his daughter himself?

Jun Wuxie's heart was full of doubts, he opened the Eternal Life Divine Palace and took out the Emperor Weapon Azure Sky Umbrella.

"Azure Sky Umbrella, Chan'er's Azure Sky Umbrella!"

The old man's trembling hands caressed the Azure Sky Umbrella, his voice hoarse and choked with sobs.

Looking at the old man like this, Jun Wuxie suddenly felt very sad.

An old father who had waited for countless years, if he saw the scene of his daughter being pierced by the Broken Spear, he didn't know if he could withstand such a blow!

"Old man, you need to be mentally prepared, your daughter, she…"

Jun Wuxie didn't know how to start, so he took out the Supreme Grade Spirit Crystal Stone.

The entire backyard turned into a crystalline green world.

A three-meter-long, two-meter-high, and two-meter-thick Supreme Grade Spirit Crystal Stone stood on the ground like a crystal wall.

The old man's body suddenly stiffened, his gaze fixed on the woman pierced by the Broken Spear inside the Supreme Grade Spirit Crystal Stone.

His lips kept trembling, his wrinkled, skinny old hand trembling as he stroked the smooth surface of the Spirit Crystal Stone, instantly bursting into tears.

"Chan'er, Chan'er ah, how many years has it been, so long that father almost can't remember, father has finally seen you again! Back then, everyone died, even you disappeared, but father knew, my Chan'er didn't die, she must still be alive, still in this world…"

"Old man, although I can understand your feelings, your daughter, she, is already…dead…"

"You're wrong!" The old man suddenly calmed down, and abruptly turned to look at Jun Wuxie, and said, "Chan'er isn't dead, she's still alive, she preserved the last spark of life, although it's very weak!"

The corner of Jun Wuxie's eye twitched.

This first generation Order Administrator wasn't dead?

He couldn't believe it.

Her body was pierced by the Broken Spear wrapped in terrifying black energy, sealed in the Supreme Grade Spirit Crystal Stone for endless years, and she could still survive?

"Don't you believe it, Chan'er really isn't dead, but if she wants to be reborn, she needs your help!"

"Me?" Jun Wuxie was stunned, and said, "What can I do?"

"I need you to pull out the Broken Spear that pierced Chan'er's chest!" The old man made a gesture with two fingers, and the Supreme Grade Spirit Crystal Stone immediately cracked open, just wide enough to accommodate a hand to reach in, and the Broken Spear was also exposed.

In an instant.

An evil, eerie, cold, and chilling aura surged out like a tide.

"This is… the Power of Utmost Darkness!"

Jun Wuxie was shocked, his expression instantly changed!

"Quick, pull out the Broken Spear!"

The old man urged, his expression anxious.

"I…"

Jun Wuxie wanted to spit in his face, the Power of Utmost Darkness on the Broken Spear was too dense, just a wisp of aura that naturally overflowed made him feel icy cold all over, his whole person seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as if his soul was about to fall into endless darkness.

Such a terrifying thing, it was extremely terrifying.

The old man didn't do it himself, he actually wanted him to pull it out!

"Wuxie, pull out that Broken Spear!"

This time it wasn't the old man's urging, but Ye Qingxue's voice from within the Town Universe Tower.

"What?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned, his soul trembled under this aura of Utmost Darkness, feeling like it was about to collapse.

"You pull out the spear, I'll purify the Power of Utmost Darkness!"

Ye Qingxue urged, her voice filled with solemnity.

Jun Wuxie no longer hesitated, since Ye Qingxue had told him to pull it out, then what was there to say, he immediately grabbed the Broken Spear.

In that instant!

He only felt his eyes go black, and he couldn't see anything.

The whole world disappeared, his feet seemed to be stepping on the void, and his whole person kept falling down.

In his mind, various cold and sharp laughter sounded, impacting his soul.

Ah!!

He felt like his head was about to explode, his soul was about to split, the pain was excruciating, as if knives were strangling his soul, devouring his sanity.

His consciousness was rapidly disappearing, the pain in his brain made him almost collapse, and his body was about to no longer belong to him.

"Ugh… Ah!!"

He held the Broken Spear tightly with one hand, and grabbed his scalp with the other, his fingertips piercing his scalp, blood dyeing half of his face golden.

"Wuxie, guard your sanity, pull it out with force!"

Ye Qingxue's voice was more solemn than ever before.

She tried her best to suppress the Power of Utmost Darkness, but the wisps of aura that overflowed from the Power of Utmost Darkness still made Jun Wuxie unable to bear it, his soul was like being strangled by a thousand knives, he was in so much pain that he wanted to die, that evil and eerie will frantically eroded his mind, wanting to drag him into that endless abyss!

"Ah!!"

Jun Wuxie let out a painful roar, his eyes had already become as black as ink, his pupils were filled with evil, eerie, and sinister light.

He felt that his sanity was about to vanish, being swallowed by evil and eeriness.

"Want to seize my sanity, wishful thinking! Get out of here!!!"

With the last trace of clarity, he burst out all his strength, and with a poof, he pulled out the Broken Spear from the chest of the first generation Order Administrator.

Black light burst out from the Broken Spear, breaking free from Jun Wuxie's palm, and was about to break through the air and leave.

But it was enveloped, wrapped, and suppressed by a mysterious energy covered in Great Dao runes.

Then, it was forcibly taken into the Town Universe Tower by Ye Qingxue.

The Power of Utmost Darkness that devoured Jun Wuxie's sanity immediately weakened a bit, allowing him to catch his breath.

But the Power of Utmost Darkness still hadn't completely dissipated, continuing to attack his soul, drilling into his sea of consciousness, trying to take over his body.

"Hold on, use the Power of Utmost Darkness to temper your soul, if you get through it, the improvement to your soul's strength will be beyond imagination."

Ye Qingxue's voice echoed in his mind.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie simply didn't have the mind to think about these things.

This kind of pain exceeded the limit, causing him to be on the verge of collapse at all times, much more painful than when he first entered the Tomb of Soldiers and received forging!

He only felt that his body, his soul, had always been sinking in the dark abyss.

He wanted to climb up, struggling desperately, not letting himself fall.

A quarter of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour.

An hour.

…

Every time he was about to lose consciousness, the appearance of Yue Yao would always appear in his mind.

Back then, in that dilapidated house in Qingyang City, that little girl, with her swollen little hands, holding the medicine paste, her face red and swollen very high, but smiling very brightly…

"Yao'er! Yao'er! I can't be swallowed, I can't lose myself, I can't let Yao'er be sad!"

He told himself this over and over in his heart, a low, beast-like growl escaping his lips!

Gradually, he felt his consciousness becoming clearer and clearer.

After several hours of extreme resistance, his will had completely returned.

The power of the darkest darkness was still attacking his soul, causing him excruciating pain, but it was still unable to devour his wisdom and erase his will.

At this moment, a mysterious energy entered his sea of consciousness, enveloping the power of the darkest darkness and forcibly剥离 stripping it away.

"Very good, you didn't disappoint me."

Hearing Ye Qingxue's voice, Jun Wuxie felt completely drained. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his clothes already soaked with sweat.

"No one at this realm can withstand this level of the power of the darkest darkness! Young man, the tenacity of your will is truly unbelievable!" The old man looked at him with strange eyes, his gaze fervent.
