Chapter 2992 - 2992: Secrets of the Black Shadow

"Soul Eater?" Confuser was taken aback, looking somewhat thoughtful.

Su Yang said, "What's the situation with those Black Shadows?"

Qi'er sighed, "Those Soul Eaters, to be honest, are quite troublesome."

"Soul Eaters are a type of non-material existence, capable of merging into any visible life form, devouring that life form's soul, and then taking control of it."

"However, on the other hand, the condition of these controlled lives is somewhat similar to that of a Taoist Venerable. These lives lose their consciousness, attacking any visible life like a beast."

"Moreover, Soul Eaters are not easy to kill. Killing their host will only make them quickly enter another nearby life form, taking control of it again."

"At that time, Guardian God used these Soul Eaters to kill many Heavenly Warriors."

"Later, we gathered all the Heavenly Warriors for a great battle at Feather Spirit Palace, exterminating ninety percent of those Soul Eaters. With the remaining ten percent, as the battle was near the end, neither side had the strength left to eliminate them, so they were suppressed within the small palaces of the Feather Spirit Palace."

"When you entered Feather Spirit Palace then and recklessly entered those small palaces, you naturally became hosts for those Soul Eaters and were controlled by them."

"Fortunately, at that time, part of my power awakened, sealing Feather Spirit Palace in time. Otherwise, if even one of those Soul Eaters escaped, your world back then wouldn't have been able to stop them!"

Su Yang nodded, clear about the strength of his own world at the time. The most powerful being in the Nine Realms then was the Saint.

Yet, those Soul Eaters could control Heavenly Warriors, and Saints were nothing in front of them.

If those Soul Eaters entered the Nine Realms, the Nine Realms would surely become a worldly Purgatory!

At this moment, Confuser suddenly spoke, "Miss Qi'er, the Soul Eaters you mentioned, aren't they just a Black Shadow, without any physical form, entirely a void."

"Wanting to kill them, you can't even find their strength. Any power below the Heavenly Realm can't even detect their existence, let alone kill them?"

Qi'er was surprised, "How did you know?"

Confuser widened his eyes, "I really didn't expect that your world also has such Demons!"

Su Yang sensed something was amiss, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Confuser sighed and said, "In our world, there are many Soul Eaters as Miss Qi'er described. In our world, these Black Shadows are named Demons."

"In our world, these Demons are very prevalent, existing in great numbers."

"Countless lives in our world have been slaughtered by these Demons."

"Even when all the Strongest entities join forces, they can't completely eliminate these Demons."

Su Yang was surprised, such Black Shadows exist even in Confuser's world?

So, Black Shadows aren't unique to Guardian God?

And given this situation, it's impossible for Guardian God to have created such Black Shadows.

The only possibility is that the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable provided them.

That means the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable found these Black Shadows and cultivated many of them in Confuser's world before.

This is all orchestrated by the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

But the question is, what exactly are the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable trying to do?

Confuser suddenly said, "By the way, Su Alliance Leader, I suddenly remembered."

"These Demons lose all mobility when there are no lives around, becoming like dead objects."

"However, once there's a life nearby, they can still break through space to kill."

Speaking at this point, Confuser glanced around and whispered, "Su Alliance Leader, are you suggesting that this Overlapping Space is actually...actually used to seal those Demons?"

Qi'er also widened her eyes; Su Yang previously mentioned that sealed individuals wouldn't resist. As it seems now, only if those sealed are the Soul Eaters, then they wouldn't resist!

Su Yang shook his head, "Things aren't as simple as you think."

"About what you're saying, be it Demons or Soul Eaters, their combat strength is limited."

Confuser nodded, "Yes, any strong entities above the Heavenly Level, those Demons can't reside within them."

Qi'er also nodded, this was the case for the Soul Eaters on their end.

This is why when they saw a Taoist Venerable, they didn't associate them with these Black Shadows.

Because, in their understanding, it was impossible for such a powerful Black Shadow to exist!

Su Yang asked, "But in the case of the Taoist Venerable, do you think it might be related to these Black Shadows?"

Confuser shook his head directly, "That's impossible! The Demons don't have that kind of power."

"If they could even control the Strongest entities, then our world would have been destroyed by now!"

Qi'er also followed, "Impossible!"

"Soul Eaters can only devour the souls of cultivators below the Heavenly Level. They can't even reach those above the Heavenly Level!"

Su Yang replied softly, "This is only our understanding, but in reality, we don't know the origins of these Black Shadows, so how do we know if there are particularly powerful entities among them?"

"Why not boldly hypothesize that this Overlapping Space is used to seal a powerful Black Shadow."

"And the Taoist Venerable elder accidentally came here, opening this Overlapping Space."

"As a result, this Black Shadow devoured the Taoist Venerable elder's soul, entered the Taoist Venerable's body, and completely controlled the Taoist Venerable, causing that situation. Meanwhile, an empty Overlapping Space is left behind here, and what was sealed inside has already left!"

Qi'er and Confuser looked at each other, both were deeply shocked.

Su Yang's hypothesis was indeed too bold.

However, upon careful consideration, it indeed seems possible.

The Black Shadows they encountered were not strong, but that doesn't mean all Black Shadows are weak.

Perhaps there's a powerful Black Shadow somewhere, strong enough to confront the Strongest entities, hiding in some place they are unaware of.

The case of the Taoist Venerable is clearly because a powerful Black Shadow, capable of dealing with the Strongest entities, devoured the Taoist Venerable's soul.

Confuser couldn't help but ask, "Su Alliance Leader, according to what you said, how strong actually is the entity that sealed the Black Shadow?"

Su Yang shook his head; he himself couldn't estimate how powerful the entity was.

In fact, Su Yang suspects, the strength of this entity should have transcended the scope of a Strongest entity, surpassing their realm. Thus, from a Strongest entity's perspective, they cannot gauge this person's level of power!

But undoubtedly, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable should know the situation.
