Chapter 226 The Lost Authority!
In fact, after achieving the virtual and real status, Xu Chong can also expand his "body" to an extremely exaggerated degree in the form of nothingness, but at best he can only cover a spherical area with a diameter of ten thousand miles.
And now, he started from the Tianxuan Realm and traveled a distance of 100,000 miles, but still could not escape the area where the gray fog was spreading.
The radius is at least 100,000 miles?
"This is too exaggerated..."
Xu Chong's scalp tingled.
Fortunately, when he first planned to escape, he reduced the size of the nothingness to the extreme. It was not much bigger than his real body. Compared with the boundless gray fog, it was an extremely inconspicuous speck of dust.
Probably, not discovered?
Xu Chong observed his surroundings while exercising his authority carefully.
However, at this moment, an unimaginable huge thought came roaring in, and in just a moment, it froze the space crack he had just opened.
"Incredible! Incredible! A mere third-class rank can actually steal the authority of space!"
The huge thought was shocking, and it swept over Xu Chong again and again as if it was seeing something new.
Xu Chong did not respond, but thought quickly.
Judging from the scale of the gray fog and the opponent's ridiculously powerful will, it is obvious that a head-on confrontation is unrealistic.
Even if it can cause some damage to the other party, it will only be superficial and may even anger the other party.
If I could escape...
The surrounding space has been frozen and there is no way to open the crack.
what to do?
"My name is Salo, nice to meet you."
The fluctuations of his thoughts subsided slightly, and he greeted politely, "Excuse me, what should I call you, the only virtual reality?"
"Jiang Wang."
Xu Chong sold out his fellow villager without even thinking twice.
"Jiang Wang? Is the real name so strange..."
Sa Luo complained and asked, "Then Jiang Wang, can you tell me how you mastered the power of nothingness with reality, and how you stole the authority of space with your third-level status?"
Stealing power?
Xu Chong felt a chill in his heart.
It seems that in addition to the rules of immortality, he has another thing that will arouse covetousness.
"Of course, if you don't want to answer, you can also choose the second method..."
Saroo didn't care about Xu Chong's silence and continued, "Become a part of me."
“…”
Xu Chong continued to remain silent.
"It seems you have to choose the second one."
Salo seemed a little regretful, "In that case..."
"My damn seventh uncle!"
Xu Chong suddenly uttered a curse word in his mind.
At the same time, an obscure wave spread.
The small transparent area originally occupied by Xu Chong was filled with gray fog in the blink of an eye.
Yes, he managed to escape from here.
As for how he did it... Although the opponent was very strong, even strong enough to freeze space, he only froze the space outside his body, but there was also space inside his body.
Xu Chong simply changed his thinking, opened a space crack in his body, and successfully transferred out.
Anyway, in the form of nothingness, there are no organs or internal organs, so doing this will not cause any harm to yourself.
Unfortunately...
"Fuck it!"
Xu Chong looked at the gray fog that still filled every direction, and his mood became even worse. "How big is the diameter of this hanging thing?"
"Although the space I stole is only superficial and not enough to form authority, it is still very easy for me to catch up with you."
Salo's thoughts fluctuated from a nearby position, with curiosity and ridicule: "But what does hanging things mean?"
It seemed that he understood Xu Chong's methods and was sure that he could kill him, so this time Salo did not freeze the space.
“…”
Xu Chong was silent for a long time, then said, "If I answer your question, will you let me go?"
"Let you go? No, no, no, you didn't let Hei Chen and the other two go, so I certainly won't let you go either."
Saro laughed and said, "However, compared to the cruel way you treated Hei Chen and the others, I am merciful and will not only not hurt you, but will also help you remove the real part and make you a pure and noble nothingness... Well, the meaning is the same as becoming a part of me."
"It seems I have no choice."
Xu Chong sighed.
"So, which of these two paths are you going to choose?"
Sarao said with interest.
“I choose option three.”
Xu Chong was furious.
The next moment, the transparent nothingness that belonged to him stretched out wildly in a plane.
One zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang!
A thousand feet in radius is Xu Chong's limit.
But that’s not all.
At the moment when it had just swelled to its limit of a thousand feet, the transparent nothingness as thin as a cicada's wing suddenly rolled up from the edge to the middle.
Just like making dumplings, a piece of the gray fog belonging to Salo was "swallowed" by Xu Chong.
The sudden change made Salo confused for a while, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you eager to be assimilated by me?"
"I have to say, compared to the two I met before, you have a little wisdom... but not much."
Xu Chong sneered.
"What do you mean..."
Salo was puzzled for a moment, but before he could finish his question, Xu Chong's action shocked him again.
Light.
The hollow and transparent spherical nothingness belonging to Xu Chong suddenly burst out with an extremely sharp white light.
"The authority of light?!"
Salo was extremely shocked, and at the same time a little confused, "Hasn't the authority of light been lost long ago? Where did you steal the authority of light from?!"
"Quack, it's not over yet."
Xu Chong sneered.
The mind moved slightly, the light twisted, and an invisible flame rose.
This was the method he had used to deal with the two vertical eyes before, but that time it was his soul that was burned, this time it was himself that was burned.
"Stupid! Stupid!"
Sara was shocked and angry. "You are only a third-class person. There is a huge gap between you and me. You can't threaten me by doing this. And if you do this, you might even be demoted!"
As the noble Lord of Nothingness, Salo certainly doesn't care about Xu Chong's life or death, let alone whether he is demoted or not.
But he cares about Xu Chong's memory!
"I know I can't threaten you, but if I lower my status... that's not necessarily true."
Xu Chong responded indifferently.
"What's the meaning?"
This time, Salo finished asking the question, but before Xu Chong could answer, he knew the answer.
The part of nothingness that was wrapped in a strange way but still belonged to him began to disappear rapidly.
On the other hand, the huge hollow fireball not only showed no signs of shrinking, but seemed to be burning even more vigorously.
“…”
Salo's mind was stunned for a moment.
Although this person called 'Jiang Wang' is only of the third rank, it is actually quite normal that part of his body can be destroyed.
After all, in order to breed more seeds of nothingness more efficiently, he has always maintained a form of stretching his body to the extreme. On average, most of the gray fog does not even have the strength of the fourth level.
It was only when he blocked the gap in the real space and blocked 'Jiang Wang' that he condensed a part of his body in a small area.
But the problem is, while his body was destroyed, Jiang Wang's body was not damaged at all...
How is this possible?
Unless... this is another kind of authority.
An authority that I have never even heard of!
"This guy named Jiang Wang must have some way to steal power!"
Saro thought of this naturally and became excited.
A large amount of gray fog began to condense rapidly around the fireball.
Unfortunately, Xu Chong had anticipated this.
A huge crack suddenly opened up inside the spherical body of nothingness, sending the scattered gray fog and Xu Chong ten thousand miles away again.
“Damn it! Damn it!”
The gray fog was turbulent, showing Saro's rage.
Although he quickly caught up again, in such a short period of time, he felt that part of his body had been destroyed again.
"Come on, let's continue."
Xu Chong left a wave of thought and moved again.
“…”
Salo was furious and continued to chase.
Just like this, two voids of different identities and sizes were chasing each other in the ruins.
Every time Salo was able to catch up with Xu Chong, but every time before he could solidify his body in this area, Xu Chong would move away again.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Salo suddenly woke up from this cat-and-mouse game.
"My body has already shrunk by one thousandth. I can't go on like this..."
Salo was extremely depressed. He began to ignore the reality of that disgusting thing and focused on concentrating his body with his mind as the center.
There are advantages and disadvantages to doing this.
The advantage is that as long as the body is condensed to the extreme and truly presents itself in the form of a second-level flower of nothingness, the body will never be erased by the third-level nothingness.
The downside is that the range of extension is reduced, and it is very likely that the virtual or real person will escape...
And once you escape, the authority of space means you will never be found again.
It has to be said that Salo felt heartache for the first time.
But he had to do it.
Although one thousandth of the body was just a drizzle to him, not a big deal, but what about ten thousandths? One hundred thousandths?
If he continues like this, he may be in danger of being demoted.
Compared to achieving falsehood and stealing power, he was more afraid of this.
"Sure enough, even if he mastered nothingness with the truth, he still retained the cunningness of the truth..."
Salo muttered viciously and accelerated the condensation of his body again.
On the other side, Xu Chong keenly noticed something unusual.
"The speed of burning and devouring has slowed down. Is this... the gray fog gathering?"
"It seems that this endless gray fog is not the true form of the Flower of Nothingness."
"No wonder they look strong on the outside but weak on the inside..."
"Oh, what a pity."
Xu Chong sighed with regret, and while shrinking his body, he repeatedly tore through space and left in a fixed direction.
"I knew it..."
Salo stared at the direction where Xu Chong left, feeling both unwilling and angry. "Your name is Jiang Wang, right? Wait, just because I can't do anything to you doesn't mean that all the void can't do anything to you!"
…
…
Three days.
According to the time in the Tianxuan Realm, Xu Chong moved continuously for three days before finally stopping.
"If you can catch up with me, I will write the word Jiang upside down."
Xu Chong switched to his true form and spat fiercely in the direction behind him.
Even though he seemed to be at ease in his previous response, he actually had the idea of dying together from the beginning.
Well, it's unrealistic to die together. It would be more appropriate to describe it as "I would rather die than hurt the other person."
Perhaps it was because of this mentality that all the abilities he possessed were perfectly coordinated in this pursuit.
The virtual and real person provides a form of nothingness, allowing him to ignite himself and compete with the opponent in consumption.
The authority of space allowed him to always move one step faster than Salo and avoid being trapped.
The authority of light increased the opponent's losses, turning the original 1:1 enemy-to-friendly loss ratio into 1:2 or even more.
Of course, 1 is Xu Chong’s loss, and 2 is Salo’s loss.
And devouring talent...
It has to be said that it demonstrates a role that is no less powerful than authority.
After consuming the energy destroyed by the gray fog, in addition to completely making up for his own consumption, it also replenished a full 61 points of divine energy to the panel!
"It's a pity that the old thief is so cunning, otherwise I might be able to kite him to death."
Xu Chong slowly relaxed his mind and glanced at the panel.
Then he was stunned.
As expected, 61 points of divine essence resulted in a plus sign appearing on the panel, indicating an upgrade.
But the problem is that only the authority of light has a plus sign after it, while the authority of space does not.
"strangeness……"
Xu Chong frowned slightly. "Logically speaking, light and space are both classified as power, proving that they are both powers of the same level. How come 61 points of divine essence can enhance light but not space?"
Like the previous column of side skills, although the three side skills have different strengths and functions, they are undoubtedly at the same level.
This can be proved by the fact that the amount of spiritual energy consumed during the same stage of improvement is the same.
Although the panel has changed drastically now, the operating rules should not be changed...
“Could it be…”
Xu Chong's eyes flashed, and he remembered what Salo had said.
The main points are 'the skin of space' and 'the loss of light'.
"Saro can master the fur of space, which means there must be other nothingness or reality that also master the fur or authority of space."
"And the light is lost..."
"Does it mean that apart from me, there is no one in the current Daxu who holds the power of light?"
After Xu Chong's analysis, he couldn't help but look around.
From what he had observed so far, Daxu was always pitch black, without a single bit of light.
Even the gray color of the gray fog can only be discerned in the form of nothingness.
Is this another confirmation of the "loss of light"?
If so...
Combining the information obtained from Salo and the "error" that appeared on the panel, a bold guess formed in Xu Chong's mind.
"If every authority is unique and its complete state is 100%, but is only distributed among the individuals who hold it, then everything is to understand."
"61 points of divine essence cannot improve spatial authority because the remaining 99% has been occupied. The same level of light authority can be improved by 61 points of divine essence, which means that light is truly lost."
"At least, the remaining 99% of the authority of light has not been completely occupied."
"But what if?"
"What if the 99% of the authority of light is not in the hands of anyone, not even a little bit?"
"Doesn't this mean that I can use my Devouring Talent and the panel to take full control of the authority of light?!"
Thinking of this, Xu Chong's heart became uncontrollably hot.
Although he didn't understand what a complete authority represented, he knew without thinking...
That must be incomparably powerful!
