Chapter 761 Forbidden Void Shadow (1)
Chapter 761 Forbidden Void Shadow (1)
The cosmic sea returned to its surface calm, the stars shone brightly again, and the white energy of the ultimate balance core flowed slowly, repairing the remaining gray traces.
The fused entity slumped in front of the porthole of the Ark of Life, gazing in the direction of the forbidden space, its eyes filled with solemnity.
The fleeing black light lingered in her mind like a maggot clinging to her bone.
"If the primordial chaotic imprint, combined with the unpredictable energy of the extraterrestrial lord, were to take shape in the forbidden space, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The dark red light of the embers flowed around her, the flame energy weak yet resolute.
"We must go to the forbidden space immediately and stop it before it fully takes shape."
Within the pale blue light of Canglan, the silver spacetime imprint flickered: "But the forbidden space is a forbidden area of the cosmic sea, filled with chaotic spacetime energy and ancient remnants of consciousness. No conscious entity has ever been able to come out of it alive."
A golden stream of light from the Origin of Order slowly drifted by, with runes appearing and disappearing within it: "The Forbidden Space was born at the beginning of the formation of the cosmic sea. It is the gathering place of all abandoned and sealed energies and consciousnesses. The rules there are extremely chaotic, and our primordial energy will be greatly suppressed inside."
The fused entity stood up, its white energy, though weak, carried an undeniable resolve: "Even if it's a forbidden area, we must go."
That stream of black light harbors both the dangers of chaos and the extraterrestrial realm, as well as unknown void power. Once it awakens, the entire cosmic sea will be doomed.
The three original consciousnesses exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.
They mobilized the remaining primal energy within their bodies to begin infusing the ark with power, while simultaneously reinforcing its defensive barriers to counter the chaotic energy of the forbidden space.
Yan Jin and Cang Lan were organizing their equipment inside the ark, incorporating the energy imprints left by their fallen comrades into their weapons. The power contained within these imprints might come in handy at a crucial moment.
Once everything was ready, the Ark of Life turned around and flew towards the forbidden space deep within the cosmic sea.
The cosmic space along the way became increasingly chaotic, the trajectories of stars became distorted, and countless ancient remnants of consciousness floated in the space. They emitted faint energy fluctuations, filled with resentment and unwillingness. When they saw the ark passing by, they all revealed ferocious faces, but dared not approach easily. The primal energy emanating from the ark made them instinctively feel fear.
"These are all consciousnesses abandoned by the rules of the cosmic sea."
Looking out the window at the twisted remnants of souls, the merged entity was filled with emotion. "They are trapped on the edge of the forbidden space, unable to leave forever."
After the initial Void Remnant sacrificed himself, his black Void Mark hovered in the center of the Ark. At this moment, it suddenly lit up and resonated with a remnant soul of consciousness outside the window.
The remnant soul was entirely black, emanating a pure aura of nothingness, clearly an ancient void consciousness of the same origin as the original.
"It is sending us a message."
The merged entity sensed the fluctuations in the mark. "It said that deep within the forbidden space lies the sleeping place of the 'Lord of Nothingness,' and that black stream of light is flying towards that sleeping place."
Everyone was shocked. The name "Lord of Nothingness" had never appeared in the ancient records of the Cosmic Sea. Clearly, he was an existence even more ancient than Chaos and the Lord of the Outer Realms.
"It seems that the goal of that black light stream is not to take shape on its own, but to awaken the Lord of Nothingness!"
Yan Jin's voice was filled with shock, "Once the Lord of Nothingness awakens, coupled with the Primal Chaos Mark and the extraterrestrial ruleless energy, the three will merge, and we will have absolutely no chance of winning!"
The merged entity accelerated the Ark's speed, and the sense of urgency in their hearts grew stronger.
They must catch up with and destroy the Lord of Nothingness before the black light awakens it.
A few days later, the Ark finally arrived at the entrance to the forbidden space.
There was no physical barrier at the entrance, only a distorted spatial vortex filled with chaotic energies of black, gray, and purple. Time and space lost their meaning here, and countless spatial fragments shuttled through the vortex, exuding an aura of world destruction.
"This is the entrance to the forbidden space. Once inside, our energy will be suppressed to less than 30%."
The consciousness of the origin of spacetime reminded them, and countless spacetime runes emerged from the silver light stream, attempting to decipher the spatial rules of the entrance.
The fused entity nodded, grasped the energy imprints of its companions in its hands, and its body surged with white energy.
"Everyone be careful. Once inside, maintain the energy connection and don't get scattered by the chaotic energy."
After saying that, she steered the ark and resolutely rushed into the spatial vortex.
The moment the Ark entered the vortex, violent turbulence struck. Deep cracks were torn into the hull by spatial debris, and chaotic energy surged in through the cracks. The instruments inside the cabin instantly went out of control, emitting piercing alarms.
Flame immediately released its fiery energy, incorporating green life energy to create a wall of fire around the ark, blocking the erosion of chaotic energy.
The vast ocean mobilized its energy, freezing the space debris that attempted to approach.
The three primordial consciousnesses joined forces to construct a primordial barrier, protecting the core area of the ark.
The ark struggled through the whirlpool, the surrounding scenery becoming increasingly bizarre. At times, shattered star shadows appeared, and at other times, the painful roars of ancient consciousnesses echoed, as if it had entered a world where reality and illusion intertwined.
After an unknown amount of time, the Ark finally broke out of the spatial vortex and arrived inside the forbidden space.
The sight before them left everyone speechless.
Inside the forbidden space, there were no stars, no spatial boundaries, only floating black continents covered with ancient runes and cracks. The air was filled with dense negative energies such as nothingness, chaos, and destruction. In the distance, a huge black figure hovered in mid-air, surrounded by countless black light threads, clearly in a slumbering state—it was the Lord of Nothingness.
At the center of the Void Lord's brow, a stream of black light was continuously injecting energy, attempting to awaken it. Around the black light, the primordial chaotic imprint and the irregular energy from beyond the realm intertwined, forming a strange energy field that continuously nourished the sleeping Void Lord.
"It's too late, it has already begun to awaken the Lord of Nothingness!"
The fusion entity shouted, controlling the ark and flying towards the black stream of light.
The surrounding black continent suddenly trembled, and countless black light threads surged out from the continent, transforming into black void guardians that blocked the ark's path.
These Void Guardians are entirely black, without facial features, and hold spears condensed from Void energy. They exude an aura that is the same as, but more powerful than, the primordial Void remnants. They have no consciousness and only follow the instinct to protect the Lord of Void.
"These are guardians that the Lord of Nothingness condensed using his own energy while he slept; there are far too many of them!"
The initial, ethereal energy imprint pulsed violently, sending out a dangerous signal.
Without hesitation, Yan Jin unleashed a surge of dark red light, its flame energy and life force intertwining to form a massive fire dragon that charged toward the Void Guardians. Wherever the fire dragon passed, the black light threads were burned away, and the Void Guardians vanished one by one.
But more Void Guardians poured out from the Black Continent, an endless stream, as if they could never be killed.
"This can't go on, we'll be dragged down here and die!"
Canglan shouted, and silver spacetime energy lit up in the pale blue light stream, attempting to freeze the surrounding void guardians. However, the spacetime energy was severely suppressed in the forbidden space, and could only freeze a few guardians, which did not have much effect at all.
As the fused entity watched the approaching black light stream and the Lord of Nothingness, it made a decision: "The three original consciousness entities, you stay behind to block the guardians of nothingness."
"Yan Jin, Cang Lan, come with me! Break through the defenses and destroy the black light stream!"
The three primordial consciousnesses nodded, and golden, silver, and green light streams erupted simultaneously. Primordial energy spread with difficulty in the forbidden space, forming a huge energy barrier that temporarily blocked the attack of the void guardian.
The fused entity, carrying Yan Jin and Cang Lan, transformed into three streams of light, bursting out of the ark and flying towards the black light stream.
The Void Guardians along the way attacked one after another, their spears carrying Void energy that could easily tear through space.
The fused entity mobilized white energy, transforming it into a blade of light that continuously slashed through the incoming spears.
Flame Dragon led the way, scorching the guards that blocked its path.
Canglan, behind them, used spacetime energy to distort space and create a path for the two.
The three of them struggled through layers of obstacles and finally arrived below the Lord of Nothingness, only a few hundred feet away from the black light stream.
Just then, the black light suddenly turned around and transformed into a gray-black phantom, which was the remnant soul of the gray-black phantom they had defeated earlier. However, at this moment, its energy was more condensed, and there was a trace of emptiness in the gray-black energy around it.
"You guys are here after all."
The phantom's voice carried a cold laugh, "Unfortunately, it's too late. The Lord of Nothingness is about to awaken, and then the entire Cosmic Sea will be ours."
Without further ado, the fused entity unleashed a surge of white energy, causing the four primordial imprints to light up simultaneously, condensing into a four-colored light blade that slashed towards the illusory figure: "Before the Lord of Nothingness awakens, I will destroy you first!"
The phantom snorted disdainfully, its gray-black energy surging and forming an energy shield that blocked the attack of the four-colored light blades.
"In the forbidden space, your primal energy is suppressed, and you are no match for me!"
Yan Jin and Cang Lan immediately provided support, their fire energy and spacetime energy intertwining to form an energy shock that struck the energy shield. The energy shield trembled violently, and a crack appeared.
