Chapter 31 The Dao Of Absolute Indifference In Seven Nights

• The black-robed youth cast a icy glance at the golden direwolf. With a faint tremor, a terrifying aura erupted from his body. Boom! Raging airwaves radiated outward from his form, making the air wail and causing the void for hundreds of li to tremble. Dark demonic energy billowed from his body like smoke from a war beacon, swirling upward. This mana seemed to contain some inexplicable grand might, turning light black and shrouding the surrounding hundreds of li in dimness. His eyes had turned completely pitch-black, like an ancient cosmic void filled with endless cold. A blurred black sun hovered behind his head, making him resemble an archaic demon lord. "What is this...?" Feng Lingzi's face changed abruptly at the demonic arts' anomalies, as if recalling something dreadful. "What demonic technique is this? So incredibly powerful!" Tan Xuan was also deeply shaken. Enveloped in the black light, he felt an ancient loneliness and boundless isolation, as if sealed in a void where疯狂的念头 (mad thoughts) festered. "Roar—!" The golden direwolf let out a fierce roar, its body steaming with golden light that dyed a corner of the dark sky gold. "Demonic Sword!" the youth barked, clenching his palm toward the void. A phantom longsword exuding ancient, eerie aura materialized in his hand. He slashed at the direwolf, unleashing a thousands of zhang sword qi like a rainbow piercing the sun. A vision of the Uninterrupted Hell emerged, as if this strike aimed to destroy all living things. Before the qi fully landed, everything within a hundred li—except the mountain with the Dragon Yuan Fruit—shattered under the sword pressure. A gust of wind turned forests and mountains into billowing soot. "Madman! He's practicing that great devil's 'Seven Nights Dao of Absolute Indifference'!" Feng Lingzi grabbed Tan Xuan and fled, cursing. Tan Xuan frowned—he heard fear in Feng Lingzi's voice. What being could terrify someone who once reached the Immortal God realm? "Roar!" The direwolf's claws blazed like a small sun as it met the sword qi head-on. BOOM! A cataclysmic explosion shook the heavens. Even five hundred li away, Tan Xuan's ears rang. The youth's strike shattered the direwolf's defense, slashing its forelimb and sending it crashing through thirty mountains. The youth struck again, splitting another thirty mountains and piercing the direwolf's abdomen. The ground trembled violently as the beast was forced into the earth's core,magma gushing from the black chasm. Though a demigod, the direwolf recovered swiftly, its golden light healing wounds—yet its aura had weakened. It leaped from the lava, eyeing the youth warily. For 80,000 years, it had guarded the Dragon Yuan Fruit; surrendering it was unthinkable. "You cannot defeat me." The youth flew toward the fruit. The direwolf unleashed a light sphere of condensed golden energy, a meteor hundreds of li in diameter that tore through the land, creating chasms and damming rivers. But the youth merely raised his demonic sword, absorbing all black light to solidify the blade. With a slash, the energy meteor burst like a bubble, and a pitch-black sword ray pierced the direwolf, pinning it to the ground. Tan Xuan gasped. The demigod beast had been defeated so easily—and the youth hadn't even used his full strength. How powerful was this man? The direwolf twitched and collapsed, mortally wounded. The youth harvested the Dragon Yuan Fruit with trembling hands, storing it in a jade box as if it were more precious than his life. He vanished in a streak of black light, but Tan Xuan and Feng Lingzi felt his gaze sweep over them, sending cold sweat down their spines. "Feng Lingzi, why did you call him a madman for practicing the 'Seven Nights Dao of Absolute Indifference'?" "Did I? I said nothing." Feng Lingzi evaded, but finally whispered: "The one who created that Dao is terrifying... a taboo among the gods." Tan Xuan's mind reeled. A taboo among the gods—what kind of being was that? When he pressed for more, Feng Lingzi fell silent, refusing to speak.
