System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

207: Black mist devours the world, extinguishing the flames.The ancient bronze lamp felt cold in his hand, and the incomplete star map and ancient information on it flowed into Ye Chen’s mind. ”War of Origin”, ”Void”, ”Creation”, ”Nine Fragments”... These terms were like pebbles thrown into a lake, giving him a more terrifying yet clearer understanding of the Karma behind the chaos ancestral talisman.

He put away the ancient lamp, no longer lingering in this dead temple. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared outside the temple.

However, the moment he stepped out of the temple ruins, a sudden change occurred!

It did not come from the bronze corpse soldiers in the city that were once again wandering aimlessly, but from higher up, from the eternally dark firmament of this Star Abyss of Fallen Gods!

”Hiss—!”

It was as if a huge, invisible black silk cloth had been forcibly torn! Above the firmament, that expanse of originally deep darkness was now wriggling like a living creature, and it was rapidly sinking and spreading downwards!

It was not a physical entity, nor was it energy; it was more like a manifestation of ”non-existence”! A pure ”Void” that longed to devour all ”existence”!

The pitch-black mist poured down from the torn ”Heavenly Hole” like a breached flood! This black mist was completely different from the Evil Qi and Death Qi encountered before; it was purer, colder, and more... greedy! Wherever it passed, even space itself seemed to be ”eaten”, leaving behind patches of absolute ”vacuum” zones where even light and Divine Sense could not exist!

Those bronze corpse soldiers in the city, touched by this black mist, did not even have time to struggle before they vanished without a trace, as if erased by an eraser, as if they had never existed. The dilapidated buildings, streets, and even the dead city itself were falling into ”nothingness” in large swaths under the spread of the black mist!

”This is...?!” Ye Chen’s pupils contracted sharply. From the black mist pouring down, he felt a breath that was homologous to the ”Void” mentioned in the information transmitted by the chaos ancestral talisman, but it was more violent and more malicious!

This black mist was coming for him! Or rather, it was coming for the Chaos Fire Seed (the ancient lamp flame) he had just obtained, which contained the power of ”life”!

”Stealing... Creation... Defiling... Void... Shall... Erase...”

A cold, chaotic consciousness, as if gathered from the wails of countless worlds, came like a tidal wave from the center of the black mist, locking onto Ye Chen!

There was no time to think; the black mist that devoured everything was already sweeping towards the area where Ye Chen was located like a monstrous wave! Its speed was far beyond his escape speed!

There was no escaping!

Ye Chen’s eyes instantly became incredibly sharp. He could feel that the level of this black mist was extremely high, and the ”Void” Law it contained even faintly suppressed his Nirvana Sword Intent! Nirvana was the end, a return to silence, but the ”Void” represented by this black mist wanted to devour even the process of ”returning to silence”—it was a more absolute, more domineering ”non-existence”!

He could not resist it head-on!

He violently urged the bit of ”Chaos Fire Seed” power he had just integrated into the chaos ancestral talisman to the limit! A ray of Chaos brilliance containing a faint yet incredibly pure breath of ”life” bloomed from within him, like a solitary lamp lit in absolute darkness!

”Hum—!”

The sweeping black mist, the moment it touched this Chaos brilliance, actually rolled and retreated as if it had encountered some natural enemy! That pure power of ”Void” seemed to have an instinctive repulsion and a trace of... dread towards this Chaos Fire Seed, which represented the source of ”creation” and ”existence”!

It was effective!

But Ye Chen knew clearly that this bit of newly acquired Fire Seed power was too weak to resist this vast, sea-like Void black mist for long! Once the Fire Seed power was exhausted, he would surely be completely devoured and erased by this black mist!

He had to counterattack! Or... find the source!

His gaze pierced through the rolling black mist and locked onto the ”Heavenly Hole” in the firmament that was continuously pouring out black mist! Deep within that ”Heavenly Hole”, he vaguely felt a trace of a more condensed, more core ”Void” breath; that seemed to be the core of the black mist controlling everything!
