As soon as the black-robed shadow appeared, the pair of dark black pupils silently looked at Ni Kun. There was no ripple in the pupils, which were as deep as the abyss, and no emotion could be seen.
Ni Kun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent, like the sky hanging high in the sky, and he stared calmly at the black-robed shadow.
Isn't it just showing off?
I, the great Ni Kun, have been the king of my life, who am I afraid of?
For a moment, Ni Kun and the black-robed shadow stared at each other in silence.
An eerie and silent atmosphere gradually dissipated as the two looked at each other.
Influenced by this atmosphere.
Everyone in the investigation team couldn't help but hold their breath, not daring to breathe. They looked serious and nervous as they watched Ni Kun and the black-robed figure stare at each other.
Opening Ni Kun's infinite sword barrier will shorten one's lifespan.
For every minute the barrier lasts, ten days of life are consumed.
Any time less than one minute will be counted as one minute.
In the past, Ni Kun would not have wasted his life in such a pointless way.
But now, even if it means using his life to show off, he can afford it.
They stared at each other quietly for a long time.
The black-robed shadow finally spoke, and said slowly in a slightly hoarse and gloomy voice:
"Ye Wang, Xu Fu, Heishan...it turns out you killed them all."
Ni Kun smiled slightly and said leisurely: "So?"
"I recognize your strength."
The black-robed shadow said slowly:
"Now I can give you a chance to transcend. As long as you surrender to me, I will take you beyond this world. No matter what you want, I can satisfy you.
"Eternal life? Strength? Authority? Beauty? Everything is within your reach as long as you want it.
"The prerequisite is to submit to me and offer me your loyalty."
Ni Kun sighed softly:
"Yerlang is arrogant, sitting in a well and looking at the sky, a mad dog barking at the sun. Do you know these three idioms?"
"These three idioms seem more suitable for you."
The black-robed figure spoke in a hoarse and gloomy voice, and his tone was calm:
"Whether it's the Night King, Xu Fu, the Black Mountain Demon, or even the Mechanical Army, Li Yuanji, and Li Jiancheng, they are just a few chess pieces I casually cast. Success is certainly gratifying, but failure is also irrelevant.
“Perhaps in your eyes, their strength is not worth mentioning, but some of my chess pieces are definitely not something you can fight against.
“What’s more, even if I don’t take action, this world will eventually face its end one day. With your strength, you must have been to the end of the world and seen the scenery there.
"How long do you think this world can last before being swallowed by the abyss of doom at the end of the world?"
Ni Kun said calmly:
“I’ve been to the end of the world, and I’ve seen the abyss.
"But so what? This place is my palace and villa.
"Whether it's the Abyss of Doom or a fellow like you, don't even think about running wild in my territory.
“It doesn’t matter how many chess pieces you have, I’ll take as many as you have.
"It doesn't matter even if you come in person. If you come, I welcome you and will send you to the underworld to enjoy the scenery."
The black robed shadow's black pupils flickered slightly, and a ripple finally appeared in his tone:
"Over the past thousands of years, at least hundreds of worlds have been crushed into dust by me, devouring all living beings and plundering their essence.
“When I come, some will panic before me, some will beg for mercy, some will kneel down and surrender, some will curse, some will die calmly, some will fight to the death, and some will sacrifice themselves heroically…
"But there has never been anyone as arrogant as you."
Ni Kun had drooped eyelids, a blank expression on his face, and calm pupils, but his heart was filled with waves.
Thousands of years?
The "natural disaster" happened more than 20 years ago, and it was also at that time that the main god lost contact.
So, the time sequence of the reincarnation world is uncertain. A piece of heaven and earth may last for more than twenty years, but in the infinite reincarnation world, it can be decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years?
Or maybe, this was a war that had been going on for thousands of years, and the outcome was not finally decided until more than 20 years ago, causing the main god to lose contact, reincarnation to be in chaos, all kinds of intrusions, and a doomsday abyss to appear at the end of heaven and earth, devouring the heaven and earth?
And this black-robed shadow is indeed a world-destroying master who has destroyed hundreds of worlds.
The purpose of destroying the world, besides "devouring all living beings", is also to "plunder the origin"?
What kind of existence is the so-called "origin"?
What is the connection with the "Origin Crystal" rewarded by the Reincarnation Watch?
These questions have no answers for the time being, but the information revealed is enough for Ni Kun to think deeply.
Moreover, he did not think that the words of the black-robed figure were exaggerated at all.
This can be seen from the chess pieces he cast.
The Night King, originally the chosen one of the God of Cold in the world of ice and fire, has become the lackey of the black-robed shadow.
Xu Fu is the mastermind behind the turbulent world, playing with all living beings, but he is in awe of his "master" the black-robed shadow.
The Black Mountain Old Demon is the ghost king who rules over a part of the underworld in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story. He also becomes the henchman of the black-robed shadow.
The Mechanical Legion is a creation of the Terminator world.
The Great Heavenly Demon and the Great Heavenly Monster are the monsters in the legendary world of the Emperor.
The black-robed phantom has so many "chess pieces" from different worlds under his command, which at least represents that he has been to those worlds and easily subdued so many powerful people.
What's more, the great demon once said: "I am just a piece of the soul fragment left over by the master."
Even the immortal souls of the Great Demons and Great Demons can be eaten until only a fragment is left, and then the fragments can be recycled and refined into "elixir" to be used as chess pieces in the world of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty...
How could this black-robed shadow be someone who only boasts about his abilities?
" You know what? The reason why you were able to destroy hundreds of worlds without ever encountering an opponent is simply because you were lucky enough. I just happened to not be in those worlds you destroyed."
Ni Kun raised his eyelids, looked directly at the black-robed figure, and spoke in a tone that it was natural and should be so.
Although he knew that this black-robed shadow was at least a world-destroying powerhouse with a "stellar-level" body.
But since he had already publicly established himself as "a martial saint with no rivals in all realms and an immortal spirit", he had to hold on even if it meant he would.
Anyway, now it's just an air-to-air verbal battle. I have countless mentors in the world of pretending to be cool, and have seen so many competitions between the kings of pretending to be cool. No matter what my strength is, at least I'm going to pretend to the end today!
This will also make you pay more attention to me, and I can inadvertently get a lot of information from you - by now, haven't you obtained some useful information?
Besides.
Ni Kun, who had witnessed the destruction of the world of the "Black Robe Patrol" with his own eyes, knew very well that it was impossible for the other party to arrive in person before the "world barrier" collapsed.
This might be the mechanism of the reincarnation world, or it might be the last line of protection left for the worlds before the main god lost contact.
But no matter what, before the protective mechanism of this barrier fails, the only way for the black-robed phantom to descend in person and crush the Tang Dynasty world is to drop a chess piece, initiate a blood sacrifice, and destroy the barrier.
If this is the case, what does Ni Kun have to fear?
I will capture as many chess pieces as you throw down.
"Very good." The black-robed shadow chuckled.
"Your arrogance is truly unprecedented in my life. I am now very interested in knowing your real name."
Ni Kun said calmly:
“My sword never kills nameless people.
"You have a record of crushing hundreds of worlds, so you are worthy of my attention and hearing your name."
The black-robed figure was silent for a while.
When he spoke again, there was a strange emotion in his tone:
"It's really interesting. A mere native who lives in a small area of ​​the world actually wants to know my name..."
Ni Kun smiled leisurely:
"Limitations? Natives? You, you don't understand anything at all.
"I once watched the meteor shower with Leo under the starry sky of the wasteland. I also watched Aquarius and the Blood River fight each other when the sky collapsed and the world collapsed...
“I don’t really care who you are.
"I'm just giving you a chance to put your name forward because you have a decent record. You must cherish this opportunity."
Hearing this, the black-robed shadow's voice finally became serious:
"You actually know about the Guardian? And you even watched the Aquarius Guardian fight against the Blood Demon Saint?"
Ni Kun smiled:
“The Blood Demon Sect does have something to offer.
"It's a pity that the previous Saint was too arrogant and died in such a way that it was not worth mentioning. Oh, he still had a drop of blood left to survive, and wanted to devour all living things to grow stronger, but unfortunately, by chance, he ran into me. I had no choice but to send him to the underworld to enjoy the scenery first."
"..." The black-robed shadow was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice:
"You are not an ordinary native! Who are you?"
Ni Kun flicked his fingers lightly, lowered his eyelids, and looked at his crystal-clear nails:
"Before asking for someone else's name, tell them your own name first. This is the most basic courtesy. Didn't your elders teach you that?"
“…”
The black-robed figure was silent for a long time before he slowly said:
"An Wuji, the current Saint of Chang Ye Sect, may I ask your name?"
Changye Sect?
Ni Kun's mind raced. It seemed that the reason why Xiaoqing ended up in the world of superheroes was that when she sneaked down the mountain to play, she ran into a guy who claimed to be "the candidate saint of the Changye Sect."
That guy wanted to capture Xiaoqing as a pet, but Xiaoqing refused and was defeated in a few moves. When he was about to be captured, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the guy into thin air. Xiaoqing was also affected and inexplicably traveled to a superhero world...
So, does the spiritual practice sect called "Chang Ye Sect" really exist?
Could it be the hidden sect in Xiaoqing’s world?
No, it's impossible.
Judging from Xiaoqing's clothes, appearance, and half-human, half-snake and python form, she should be from the world of "White Snake Origin".
The upper limit of strength in that world definitely cannot accommodate the existence of a world-destroying powerhouse like "An Wuji, the contemporary saint of Chang Ye Sect".
So, the Changye Sect, like the Xuesha Sect, is a spiritual sect that should not exist in the world of reincarnation?
Is it a sect founded by "reincarnations from the enemy camp", or...
The so-called "reincarnations of the enemy camp" are actually a group of...
Outsiders who shouldn't exist in the world of reincarnation?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why they are hostile to the "Guardians" and why they continue to devour one reincarnation world after another like locusts.
Ni Kun's mind flashed with thoughts, and he thought a lot in an instant, but his face remained calm and composed:
"An Wuji, the Holy Son of the Chang Ye Sect. I have written down your name. After I send you off, I will carve a monument for you, recording your name and achievements, and declaring to all the worlds that you died in my hands. This will give you enough glory."
"Killing me is actually an honor given to me?"
The image of the black-robed phantom was slightly fluctuating, showing that his true self was extremely uneasy, and his voice became even deeper and more gloomy:
"So who are you?"
"The invincible martial saint who has an indestructible true spirit." Ni Kun said calmly, "Have you ever heard of this title?"
"..." An Wuji was silent for a long time, as if he was savoring and recalling this title.
After a long while, he smiled grimly: "Never..."
Ni Kun interrupted him directly:
"My name is Ni Kun . If you haven't heard of me, I can only say that you are too low-level. You don't even dare to hear or remember my name."
“…”
The darkness was extremely silent.
At his level, he certainly knew that among all the heavens and worlds, there were some extremely terrifying beings whose names could not be spoken, passed on, or recorded.
This is because there are some narrow-minded and terrifying beings who, when someone mentions their names, even if there is a slight disrespect in the tone of voice, will send down a killing calamity across infinite time and space and instantly wipe out the "disrespectful person".
Over time, people either keep silent about such existence or only dare to refer to it with obscure nicknames.
Therefore, even with An Wuji's level, he only clearly knew the title and name of one such powerful person.
And this powerful person is the one who captured this "universe", allowed them to come in for "trials", and even allowed them to kill and plunder at will.
Could it be that this Ni Kun, “the invincible martial saint with an immortal spirit who can sweep across the universe”, is actually a being of the same level?
How could he hide from the master of this universe and sneak into the interior of the universe?
No, if he is really that powerful, why would he condescend to this small secular world?
So, this is just a projection of a powerful being?
Realizing that Ni Kun was at most a projection of a powerful being, An Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was just a powerful projection, the danger would be much smaller.
After all, this universe is controlled by that powerful person. With him covering up the secrets of heaven, even if An Wuji points at Ni Kun's nose and scolds him here, he is not afraid that the powerful person himself will notice it and wipe him out with one finger across infinite time and space.
However, the danger is only relatively small.
The power of the powerful projection will not be very strong, otherwise this kind of world will not be able to accommodate it, and it will also alarm the current owner of this "Trial Universe".
But even if the power is insufficient, the means at the disposal of the powerful are endless and unfathomable, and are by no means easy to deal with.
Right now.
An Wuji, who had originally treated Ni Kun with just a little "different eye", finally read the memory of Tian Yao's soul carefully and sorted out the scenes of Ni Kun's battle with Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng.
Upon seeing it, An Wuji was shocked.
With his rich experience of wandering in this "Trial Universe" for thousands of years, destroying hundreds of worlds, and bewitching and corrupting countless "natives", he could recognize almost every magical power displayed by Ni Kun.
What magical powers did Ni Kun use?
The crystal wall, the twisted evil eye, the Buddha's palm of descent, the earth-shattering star, the mighty heavenly dragon, the seven desperate situations, the power of the five elements bloodline, the power of thunder against the five elements, and the infinite sword barrier.
Surprisingly, most of them come from different worlds, some of them are well-known, while others are extremely famous.
Even though the power did not seem too strong when Ni Kun used it, this was probably only because Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng were too weak, and Ni Kun wanted to capture them alive and torture them for information, so he had to suppress the power.
An Wuji was very clear that many of these abilities had terrifying upper limits that were completely endless.
An Wuji had personally fought against some of these magical powers.
He had fought a battle with the current generation Aries Guardian a few years ago.
The contemporary Aries is the guardian, and once the crystal wall is erected, it is enough to withstand the head-on impact and chain collisions of stars the size of the earthly sun.
He An Wuji tried every possible means but failed to break the crystal wall and could only retreat helplessly.
With An Wuji's talent and strength, he could not learn many kinds of magical skills due to his fundamental skills or blood talent. But Ni Kun could actually gather so many magical powers in one person and use them effortlessly...
An Wuji also knew that in this "Trial Universe", there was originally a special existence called "Reincarnator", who was also able to travel freely between the various realms and was also known for his complex abilities.
But the "reincarnationists" have long been extinct, and no living ones have been seen for many years.
Furthermore, even if one is a reincarnation, no matter how complex his abilities are, he must follow certain rules.
It is impossible to possess talents from different bloodlines at the same time.
For example, the Distorted Mystic Eye and the Earth-shattering Star are two completely different bloodline abilities, and both are related to "eye techniques". If you have one eye technique, you cannot have the other.
Besides, Ni Kun also has the power of the five elements bloodline, which has nothing to do with the bloodline ability required for the Twisted Demon Eye and the Earth-shattering Star.
Finally, Ni Kun also displayed a lightning sword energy that was very similar to the Blood Evil Sect's "Blood Evil Killing God Sword", as well as an anti-five elements thunder hand print that was very similar to the Blood Evil Sect's "Blood Evil Searching God Hand".
Although it was beyond recognition, An Wuji's understanding of the Blood Evil Sect made it clear that the Lightning Blade Aura and Thunder Hand Seal had a very deep connection with the Blood Evil Sect's two iconic great skills.
It's like this that integrates countless good and evil magical powers and even bloodline talents into one, and even wantonly tampering with the great magical powers of the Blood Evil Sect, and there is no conflict at all between the bloodline talents, good and evil magical powers, and he can use it at will. Only a powerful person can do this!
The invincible warrior with an immortal spirit...
Ni Kun!
An Wuji went over this name in his mind and looked at Ni Kun deeply:
“An Wuji has taken note of the honorific title of Senior Martial Saint.
“However, this world, and even this entire universe, is not the domain of the seniors.
“Even though you are invincible, the one who is here is just a projection.
"An Wuji has always had great ambitions, he wants to climb to the top of the heavens, take a look at the end of the universe, and even the scenery beyond .
"It is rumored that every powerful person who can reach the top will use countless geniuses as stepping stones. Some powerful people even step on the corpses of other powerful people...
“An Wuji is not talented, so I will use this powerful projection of yours as a stepping stone on my way to the top!
"I will definitely destroy this world!
"I, An Wuji, want to kill Tianzun and prove my great Dao!"
Ni Kun did not seem annoyed, but nodded slightly in appreciation:
"Yes, since you have such ambitions, I will wait for you to come and give you a chance to 'kill the Heavenly Lord and prove the Great Dao'.
"After you die, I will engrave your heroic words on your tombstone and give you... the honor you deserve."
An Wuji looked at Ni Kun deeply, and then his shadow flashed and disappeared without a trace.
He came here only as a projection that had descended with the Great Sky Demon's original spirit as a sacrifice, and he had almost no power at all.
Before the "barrier" is broken, his original body cannot descend. Even if he wants to invest a little bit of his original body's power, he has to pay a huge price. For the time being, he can only deploy pawns.
After learning about the existence of a powerful person like Ni Kun, An Wuji had achieved the purpose of this trip, and his fighting spirit was ignited. At the same time, he became more cautious -
The waters here are too deep, so we have to be more cautious when infiltrating.
In the future, try not to let your projection descend, lest the powerful projection trace back the cause and effect, cast some inexplicable spell, and hurt your original body from a distance.
After An Wuji left.
Ni Kun put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked up at the sky. His eyes were as lonely as snow.
Everyone in the investigation team didn't dare to breathe, and they looked at Ni Kun with increasing awe.
What did they all hear?
The black-robed shadow who called himself "An Wuji of the Changye Sect", the mastermind who was revered as the leader by Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng and who was not allowed to reveal even a single piece of information until his death, was actually the world-destroying demon who destroyed hundreds of worlds in thousands of years?
And this terrifying existence of unimaginable height, when facing Ni Kun, apart from some initial arrogance, after knowing Ni Kun's "true identity", it actually turned into a mentality of deep fear and even challenge from a junior?
Tu Tianzun, prove the great way...
Even if you fail and die, it is also a kind of honor...
What a great person is Ni Kun?
To call him a resident immortal or a living God is really an injustice to him!
For a moment, even Ni Kun's bedmates, except for the carefree Tsunade, the others such as Zhu Yuyan, Dongfang Bai, Qian Qian, Xiao Qing, Wen Caiting, Bai Qing'er, and Li Xiuning, looked at Ni Kun with a kind of...
No one dares to look directly at it in worship and awe.
In their opinion, An Wuji still had limited vision and knowledge.
I actually thought that Ni Kun was just a projection of a "powerful" person.
Little did people know that he was the "Great and True Spirit" who had come down to the world after a catastrophe, and the one standing in this world was his real self.
Although he had to endure thousands of disasters due to encountering powerful enemies, he was ultimately a "martial saint with an immortal spirit."
He has suffered calamity a thousand times, ten thousand times, even if the underworld collapses, the cycle of reincarnation breaks down, the stars fall, and the heaven and earth are destroyed, he remains immortal.
An Wuji is in trouble.
Ni Kun is getting stronger every day, and is climbing rapidly towards the peak he once reached .
By the time An Wuji arrives, perhaps Ni Kun has recovered all his strength.
Even if I don't get all my strength back...
He will surely be able to destroy ignorant youngsters like An Wuji in a snap.
Zhu Yuyan and others were extremely grateful that they had made the wise decision to follow Ni Kun.
I am even more fortunate that Ni Kun was able to be reincarnated into this world.
With Ni Kun's existence, this place where everyone lives and practices can safely get through even the endless dangers and countless disasters.
Xi Ying, Jin Jiuling, and Ding Chunqiu, who had resurrected at some point, looked at Ni Kun as if they had seen the Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and they couldn't help but feel weak in the knees.
When Brother Duan Shuiliu's knees became weak, he was still muttering in his heart:
No wonder he was able to improve so quickly in actual combat. His talent was so strong that I doubted myself. It turned out that he was a "powerful projection"! It was not unfair to lose to Ni Kun. It was even glorious!
Old acquaintances like Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng couldn't help but look at Ni Kun with strange eyes, wondering in their hearts, should they be more respectful to little brother Ni in the future?
But if we do that, wouldn't it seem like we are too sycophantic and go against the teachings of our master?
Ah, so confusing!
Under the silent gazes of the crowd in shock and awe, and even in worship, Ni Kun, who had been posing for a long time, finally bowed his head slowly and sighed softly:
"The world is so lonely, like snow..."
