Chapter 503: Power of Eternal Darkness

"Ha... How laughable. Do you really think I went to the trouble of using the Eyes of Time and Space to accomplish all of this just for the merit? Let me kindly remind you of something. The merit is not the main point."

Tushan Qing spoke shamelessly.

His claws, however, showed no restraint whatsoever as he casually slapped the merit descending from the pillar of light from one side to the other.

Under Chenyin’s furious gaze as he desperately attacked the golden pillar of light, Tushan Qing gathered a large amount of merit and compressed it into a golden pill-like sphere.

He opened his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it in one bite.

In an instant, the golden pillar of light and the enormous vortex disappeared from the void.

Tushan Qing’s body began expanding uncontrollably.

His muscles and bones continuously twisted and changed, while large amounts of black radiance flashed through his fur.

The earthy-yellow fur on his forehead, four limbs, and tail tips grew increasingly brilliant in color, gradually transforming toward a mysterious golden-yellow hue.

His body suddenly expanded to a height of ten thousand meters.

Seeing this, Chenyin cautiously retreated at once.

But he was too late.

This time, with the assistance of Tushan Qing’s Eyes of Time and Space, the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame had instantly devoured the filth and sins of countless realms and transformed them into boundless firepower.

The Terrestrial Fox Black Flame that had flown out from the countless realms completely surrounded Chenyin.

And this time, even his protective immortal light could no longer withstand the pitch-black flames.

He stared in astonishment as the pitch-black flames burned his protective immortal light and frowned.

"The power of this troublesome strange flame has become stronger."

"That’s right! It has finally lived up to my expectations. After devouring the filth and sins of countless realms, it has now broken through Tier 9 of the Spirit Realm and entered the Immortal Realm. Even with your powerful cultivation, there is nothing you can do to it. After all, it has reached the same level as you. And this is the sacred flame of my clan."

Tushan Qing spoke as though deliberately answering Chenyin’s question.

Afterward, his pitch-black fox face suddenly formed what seemed like a smile.

His ten tails repeatedly stabbed into various parts of the void.

It appeared to be a pointless action, but it interrupted Chenyin’s attempt to escape from the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame once again.

It turned out that his actions were actually destroying the space around Chenyin, preventing him from using spatial techniques to move. By restricting his ability to teleport away, Tushan Qing left him with nowhere to escape.

His enormous claws were not idle either.

Relying on his immunity to the flames of the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame, he continuously attacked Chenyin.

Unable to teleport, Chenyin could only rely on his own movement techniques to dodge the attacks of those enormous claws.

He dodged again and again while simultaneously having to guard against the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame breaking through his protective immortal light. He continuously poured immortal power into the barrier to maintain it, making him look increasingly disheveled.

"You despicable bastard!"

"Heh..."

The enormous black fox sneered and struck out with both claws again.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Chenyin’s body suddenly stiffened.

Dense black spots appeared all over his immortal armor, face, hands, and body. Moreover, the black spots continued to expand.

At the same time, because his body had suddenly stopped moving, his protective immortal light immediately collapsed.

Tushan Qing’s enormous claws struck him squarely, instantly turning him into a blood-covered figure dripping with golden blood.

Immediately afterward, the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame completely engulfed him.

"Ah! Damn it... What is this... Big Brother! Save me... Damn it... Damn it..."

The previously arrogant Immortal Chenyin was inexplicably devoured by the pitch-black spots spreading across every part of his body.

Even his hair and immortal armor were not spared. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The Terrestrial Fox Black Flame could not even compete with them. Chenyin’s entire body simply transformed into matter identical to the energy of the void and dispersed.

Not even the slightest trace of his immortal soul or immortal spirit remained.

Tushan Shanhe looked at the dissipating void energy and could not help shuddering.

"Ah Qing, I know about the sacred flame, but what are these black spots?"

"Ah! Those? You should ask my precious baby!"

Seeing that Chenyin had finally fallen, and that he had done so before Tushan Qing had even needed to use his ultimate move, Tushan Qing was not surprised in the slightest.

Black radiance flashed around him, and he returned to human form before looking toward Xiao Shou, who was flying over.

Hearing this, Tushan Shanhe immediately became curious and looked at Xiao Shou.

"Ah Shou, what are these black spots?"

"Uh... This is the strange energy from the void that I just refined. I took advantage of the moment when his attention was drawn to the merit and scattered it onto his body. I didn’t expect it to have this kind of effect."

After Xiao Shou landed, he spoke somewhat guiltily.

He had not expected Immortal Chenyin to be dealt with so easily. He had originally thought they would have to continue fighting for quite some time before they could defeat him.

So the "slow" corrosion speed mentioned in the information was actually this fast?

Then just how terrifyingly fast would the "fast" corrosion speed be?

Xiao Shou thought about it somewhat uneasily.

At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, he could create Eternal Darkness and control it.

If an enemy were to control this power instead, he would be the one crying now.

"Strange energy from the void?"

Tushan Shanhe asked in disbelief.

He had sensed Xiao Shou capturing this energy earlier, but at the time, he had not thought much of it.

After all, countless cultivators had tried to make use of this energy before, and the Immortals of the Immortal Realm were presumably no exception.

Yet in the end, they had all been helpless against it.
