2235 Encountering the Doomsday Darkness, Elder Blackwood, As If the God of Light Has Appeared

"Ashan, are we really going to leave them? They saved us, you know. Wouldn't it be rude of us to treat them like this?"

"That's right. The big sister over there doesn't seem to have ill intentions either."

"No means no. Grandpa Tribe Leader said we're not allowed to bring outsiders back, and we mustn't break the rules. Besides, who knows if they're really good people? My dad used to tell me that we can never judge a person's intentions by their looks," the thick-browed youngster said. 

The other natives went silent upon hearing that.

Since the thick-browed youngster was their leader, the native youngsters returned to their tribe. However, they did not immediately head home and instead took several turns detours.

They only returned to their tribe after making sure no one was following them.

Both Chu Kuangren and Nuwa chuckled.

"These kids are quite cautious."

"Alas, they're still too young."

Chu Kuangren laughed.

Instead of following them, all he had to do was leave a mark of consciousness or a strand of sword qi in those youngsters to accurately pinpoint their location.

Soon after, the thick-browed youngster and his friends arrived in the depths of a mountain range.

Chu Kuangren looked around the mountain range and did not notice any tribes.

"Huh? Wait a second. The mark of consciousness I left has disappeared."

Chu Kuangren found it strange that he had suddenly lost contact with the youngsters. Moreover, the traces of the youngsters had disappeared too.

"There's something strange about this mountain range."

He studied the surrounding landscape carefully and came to a realization. "I see. It looks like a Nature Formation is hidden here. Interesting… Very interesting indeed."

The formation was naturally formed and was not a man-made one.

Everything within the formation was hidden inside it.

Even his mark of consciousness was repelled.

"This is a skillful utilization of nature's creation power."

Chu Kuangren praised as he looked at the Nature Formation.

However, since he was ranked first on the Formation Leaderboard, he could see through and disable the Nature Formation no matter how profound it was.

With that, he brought Nuwa and wandered into the mountain range.

They came to an area filled with cloudy mists.

When they went through the cloudy mists, a new world was displayed before their eyes.

Many signs of human presence could be found here, such as pavilions, caves, stone houses, and more.

The natives dressed in animal skin of plant-like materials were roaming in the wilderness. Some were hunting, washing clothes, or cooking. They were all going about their daily lives in a blissful state of contentment.

"Found it," Chu Kuangren mumbled.

However, his sudden arrival alerted the elites of the tribe, and several figures immediately appeared before him.

"An outsider?"

"Damn it. How did an outsider make it inside here?"

Chu Kuangren and Nuwa soon found themselves surrounded by a few Grand Dao Supreme Sages.

"How did you enter here, outsider?" an elderly man questioned as he glared at the both of them.

"Well… Would you believe us if I say we entered here by mistake?" Chu Kuangren said calmly.

The elites looked at each other. 'Entered here by mistake?'

The Jiufang Tribe was protected by a great formation. Without a guide, anyone wandering inside here would find themselves lost in the formation. That was why no one had managed to enter the place successfully over the years.

How could they believe Chu Kuangren's words?

"I don't care how you ended up inside here, but those who trespass into the tribe are guilty of committing this unforgivable crime. Lock them up," the elderly man ordered.

Nuwa immediately took out the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, the Creation Crystal, to defend herself.

The natives who were about to attack stopped the moment she took out the Creation Crystal. They looked at Nuwa with shock and doubt.

"That's a… Sacred Relic!"

"What's going on? Why is a Sacred Relic in the hands of an outsider?"

While everyone was confused, a painful scream came from the distance.

Following that, a jet of black qi rose into the sky, dying it black. An oppressive aura emanated from that black qi.

Chu Kuangren's gaze narrowed. "This aura…"

"That's right, Master. this is the aura of the Doomsday Darkness!" Lil Ai said.

The Doomsday Darkness was a great calamity mentioned in the Radiant Church's scriptures.

According to legend, that cataclysmic energy would bring about the end of all things in the Infiniverse. Chu Kuangren had encountered the Doomsday Darkness many times in the past, but he did not expect to encounter it again.

"Why is the Doomsday Darkness here?" Chu Kuangren was puzzled.

"This is bad. Our Tribe Leader can no longer contain the Darkness energy inside his body."

"Quick, let's rush over there."

"Damn it."

The moment they saw that black qi in the distance, the Grand Dao Supreme Sages could not sit idly any longer. They immediately dashed toward the source of the black qi.

The natives looked at the black qi anxiously.

"Let's check it out."

Chu Kuangren was also curious about it.

Atop a mountain peak, an old white-haired man was sitting with his legs crossed. Strands of black qi were swirling around him, emanating an ominous aura.

The old man's face was also switching between a painful and ferocious expression.

"You damn demon, get back inside to where you belong."

"Heh! You can't hold on any longer, old man. Your body is already well beyond repair. There is no way you can hope to suppress me for long."

"Even if I die, I won't let you harm the people of my tribe."

Another voice came from inside the old man's body.

It seemed like it was going to break out from him at any moment.

Meanwhile, a few youngsters were beside the old man, looking at him anxiously.

"Grandpa Tribe Leader, are you alright?

"You must stay strong and fight it."

"Ashan, take everyone and leave here now," the old man said through gritted teeth.

Just then, a strand of black qi shot out from his body and turned into the face of another elderly man. He looked at the youngsters and said, "Hehe! None of you will be able to escape today. Once I break free, I will kill every single one of you here."

"Insolent demon!"

A few voices sounded from the void.

The Grand Dao Supreme Sages of the tribe had rushed over. They quickly channeled their Great Dao energy into the old white-haired man's body.

With the help of that Great Dao energy, the Darkness energy inside the old man's body started to be suppressed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could celebrate for long, an even more powerful surge of Darkness energy erupted from within the elderly man's body. It burst out like an unstoppable tidal wave!

With a huge bang, it broke through the elites' suppressing Great Dao energy.

It even broke through the elderly man's body.

"Haha! I, Blackwood, have finally regained my freedom!"

Large amounts of Darkness energy filled the skies, forming a thick layer of dark clouds, and a skinny old man was seen hovering in mid-air.

He was the source of the Darkness energy looming in the surroundings.

"Damn it. It's all over now."

The Grand Dao Supreme Sages' faces immediately turned pale.

The old white-haired man lay on the floor, his body already riddled with wounds from the corruption of the Darkness energy. He no longer had any strength left to go against Blackwood, the elderly man hovering in mid-air.

"Jiufang Yan, what was the point of keeping me sealed for so many years? I'll eventually escape like today. Alright, it's time to settle the score between us."

Elder Blackwood sneered and channeled his Darkness energy into a giant hand, which he grabbed the old white-haired man with it.

"Tribe Leader!"

"Grandpa Tribe Leader!"

Everyone yelled out in shock.

Blackwood laughed. "Don't worry. I won't kill him right away. I'll make him watch me kill every one of you and let him drown in pain, suffering, and despair as he waits for his death. Only then can I fully vent all the hatred for him I've accumulated over these years!"

After that, he looked at the tribe members beneath him and immediately launched a palm attack on them.

His Darkness energy erupted at the tribe members.

However, at that moment, a massive burst of Radiant aura emerged. Like snow under the sun, the Darkness energy gradually disintegrated when it came into contact with the Radiant energy.

"Who's there?" Blackwood was shocked.

A Radiant aura filled the realm, and a light path formed in the sky. At the end of that path was a figure in white who was approaching them.

The radiance surrounding that person made him look pure and untainted. It was as if the God of Light had descended upon the mortal realm.
