AWB Chapter 160: Void Messenger
Chapter 160: Void Messenger
Venerable Bai Yue sneered and said, "In that case, let's get started!" His tone was full of disdain and provocation, as if in his opinion, Shi Ji's persistence was nothing but a farce.
Shi Ji nodded solemnly and said, "Okay." Then, she carefully took out a small ball of light. The ball of light was shining brightly, like the brightest star in the universe. This was the Phantom Island Seed.
This seed is so tiny, but it seems to contain endless mysteries inside. Countless life forces are surging and dormant in it. It is a powerful energy that can change the world.
At this time, Venerable Bai Yue and Venerable Long Jiu were staring at the Fantasy Island Seed like hawks. Venerable Long Jiu looked at the seed, and his eyes unconsciously revealed an excitement that was difficult to conceal, which was a desire for powerful power.
However, in that excited look, a cold light flashed by like a poisonous snake. It was malicious intent concealed by greed and conspiracy. Unfortunately, neither Venerable Bai Yue nor Shi Ji noticed this subtle change.
Venerable Bai Yue frowned and said impatiently: "Shi Ji, start the test. If there is no so-called messenger, hand over the seed and get out of here. Never show up in front of us again."
His words were full of disgust and distrust towards Shi Ji.
Shi Ji's gaze was as firm as a rock. She said firmly, "There is definitely an infected person among you."
She firmly believed that the messenger infected by the void was lurking among them.
Just as Venerable Bai Yue and Shi Ji were concentrating and preparing to start the test, all their attention was attracted by the magical Fantasy Island Seed.
The corners of the mouth of the Dragon Vulture Venerable raised a cold smile, which was the pride of the conspiracy that was about to succeed. He saw the right opportunity. At this time, the Venerable Bai Yue had lost a lot of energy in the previous battle and had not yet fully recovered from his serious injuries. Moreover, his back was defenseless at this moment, just like an unsuspecting prey exposed to the hunter's eyes.
Venerable Longjiu attacked without hesitation. The powerful Qi-devouring power in his hand surged like a tide. At this critical moment, there was a "clang" sound, and the power was like a sharp spear that instantly pierced through the back of Venerable Baiyue.
Venerable Bai Yue's eyes widened, filled with astonishment and disbelief. He had never thought that his brother would kill him at this time.
His body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the ground in front of him red. He tried hard to turn around and look at the person who betrayed him, but his body was no longer under his control and his consciousness began to gradually blur.
Venerable Longjiu looked at the seriously injured and dying Venerable Baiyue. There was no trace of guilt or pity on his face, only a hideous look twisted by desire.
He sneered and said, "Foolish Bai Yue, you have always been played around by me. Now, this Fantasy Island Seed will be mine, and the endless power will also belong to me."
His voice echoed in the empty space, full of evil and madness.
Shi Ji was also stunned by the sudden change in front of her. She never thought that the messenger of nothingness was actually the Venerable Dragon Vulture. Her heart was filled with anger and regret, regretting that she had not noticed the Venerable Dragon Vulture's conspiracy earlier.
Shi Ji immediately put away the Fantasy Island Seed. Her movements were very careful, as if she was guarding the most precious treasure in the world. The Fantasy Island Seed was tightly held in her palm, and a faint but firm light shone through her fingers.
The Dragon Vulture Master let out a terrifying laugh that echoed in the empty space, as if it was the voice of an evil spirit from the netherworld. He said arrogantly, "No need to test me, I am the messenger of the power of nothingness. I have changed a long time ago and am no longer the Dragon Vulture you all know."
Venerable Bai Yue's eyes widened, full of pain and confusion. He struggled and said, "Why, why is it you, Long Jiu? Haven't you always been the pioneer against the void? Every time, when the terrifying power of nothingness spreads, you always rush to the front without hesitation. You are the bravest warrior. You have defeated countless mutants infected by nothingness with all your strength and purified them. At that time, you were like a hero protecting the world. How come you have fallen to this point now?"
A strange smile appeared on the face of the Dragon Vulture Venerable. He said, "That was in the past. The Dragon Vulture of the past is dead. Now I am the spokesperson of nothingness. I have found a new path, a path that you who are bound by traditional concepts cannot understand."
Venerable Bai Yue roared in grief and anger: "Long Jiu, when did you become like this? When did the evil power of nothingness corrode your heart?"
Reverend Dragon Vulture raised his head slightly and looked at the endless void, as if he was lost in a long memory. He murmured, "When? I don't remember. Maybe it was one time, after defeating the alien, that deep feeling of powerlessness and loneliness surrounded me like a tide. I began to wonder inexplicably, what is the meaning of our doing this? Why do we have to keep fighting against nothingness? And at that time, nothingness seemed to hear my voice and see my confusion. It began to try to communicate with me. At first I resisted, but slowly, I found that nothingness is the opposite of Qi Refining. Its existence is not meaningless. The two are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. I began to feel that Qi Refining should not always have the upper hand and suppress nothingness. They should reach a balance."
Shi Ji asked softly, "So you embraced the void? Do you know that once the void gets out of control, it will bring disaster to the entire world! You are pushing all of us into an abyss of no return!"
Venerable Dragon Vulture laughed without taking it seriously, his laughter full of madness: "A catastrophe? That's just the groundless worries of you conservative people. You only see the destructive power of nothingness, but never thought that it can also be a new force."
Shi Ji said angrily: "Rebirth? Your so-called rebirth is just another form of destruction! Nothingness has no emotions, no reason, it will only devour endlessly until everything is reduced to nothing."
The eyes of the Dragon Vulture Master flashed with a strange light: "You don't understand at all. In that endless darkness, I felt a different kind of tranquility. The nothingness gave me strength and made me no longer afraid. My current strength is beyond your imagination."
Venerable Bai Yue used up his last bit of strength and said weakly: "Long Jiu, you have been blinded by desire. What you pursue is nothing but vanity. You betrayed our beliefs and everything we have fought for."
Venerable Longjiu looked at Venerable Baiyue coldly and said, "Faith? That is just a shackle you imposed on yourself. But I have broken free of this shackle and gained true freedom."
Shi Ji knew that no matter how much she argued with him, it would be useless. She hid the Phantom Island Seed in her arms and mobilized the Qi Refining Power of her whole body. A layer of soft light appeared around her, and the light contained a strong breath of life.
