Chapter 1098 Dark Tide

Seeing the abnormality of the group of You people in front of him, Li Fan remained calm. Ignoring their extreme fear, he forced them to complete the oath of membership in front of the faceless true immortal stone statue.

Then, after they finally calmed down, Li Fan asked why they were so scared.

The leader of the You people trembled, and after a long time, he was able to explain: "We have never had the honor to see the true immortal stone statue before. But the moment we saw it, our people instinctively felt boundless fear."

"We have lived in darkness for many years, and our bodies have adapted to the special environment there. In normal sunlight, we can barely hold on for a while, but in front of the true immortal stone statue..."

"It's like a light source that is thousands of times brighter than the sun in the sky suddenly appears in the dark."

The You tribe leader spoke intermittently, but Li Fan understood what he meant.

Just like mortals facing the abyss, they will feel fear. When the You people saw the faceless true immortal stone statue, they also felt extreme fear because of the fatal threat.

But the net of the True Immortal is invisible and formless. Even Li Fan, if he were not the agent of the Faceless True Immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm, would probably not have noticed its existence.

On the other hand, this group of You people, even the children who were born not long ago, all felt the power of the True Immortal without exception.

"It seems that it is inseparable from the dark power they control."

Next, Li Fan learned about their understanding of darkness from the leader of the You people.

The You people were actually human beings.

In the ancient legends circulated by their tribe, in ancient times, the world they lived in still had blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine.

But suddenly one day, when the sun set, it never rose again.

People begged desperately in the darkness, but no miracle came.

The vast majority of people have disappeared in the darkness forever since then.

And those who survived, without exception, were all favored by the dark power.

Under the erosion and transformation of the dark power, their bodies also slowly changed.

It became a terrifying appearance with no head and facial features squeezed on the chest.

In fact, the You people did not understand the nature of the dark power. They just worshiped and prayed to it as the only straw to save their lives and the terrifying evil god that brought destruction to the normal world.

And this dark power seemed to understand their words. It actually responded and was used by them.

The You people did not think that they had mastered the dark power, but that it was a gift from the great dark god.

…

What the You leader said was different from the introduction of the Dharma Transmitter Zhou.

The You people were obviously the natives of the Youjie, but the Dharma Transmitter Zhou said that they were just a special group that discovered the power of the Youjie and used it.

In such a small matter, the Dharma Transmitter Zhou should not have had to deceive himself.

"It seems that the process of the Ten Thousand Immortals League discovering the Youjie is not as simple as he said."

A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

Next, he thought about the manifestation of the dark power.

"Pray, and then wait for a response?"

"No wonder the passage to the entrance to the Netherworld is also opened through a singing and dancing ceremony."

Li Fan's eyes flashed.

Li Fan was not unfamiliar with the power that would respond to the inner touch of the cultivator.

The golden essence of source power was the remnant of power abandoned by the True Immortal in the process of pursuing the root of Tao. It was the existence of the Flower of Tao.

"Being able to sense each other, there may be a connection between the two."

According to the introduction of the leader of the Nether Clan, although the dark power only appeared in their hometown, it was actually everywhere in the entire Xuanhuang Realm. It was just that it was not specifically condensed, and ordinary people could hardly detect it. However, if you pray and call through special methods, you can cross the barriers between small worlds and call on its power.

Under the witness of Li Fan, the leader of the Nether Clan looked pious and muttered something.

He attacked a fierce beast like a lion and tiger in front of him.

This lion and tiger beast is a new species that the empire has recently cultivated, and its flesh is hard, like steel. Even if a general foundation-building cultivator attacked with all his strength, it would be difficult to hurt it.

But an extremely strange scene happened.

Without any warning, the originally majestic lion-tiger beast suddenly became limp and fell to the ground.

Its eyes were full of fear, and it tried helplessly to struggle to get up.

But under it, it seemed like there was an invisible quagmire. There were countless hands in the quagmire, constantly pulling it.

Under Li Fan's gaze, the lion-tiger beast was slowly swallowed by the darkness.

No bones were left.

From beginning to end, Li Fan did not "see" the existence of darkness.

But the lion-tiger beast did disappear under his eyes.

Li Fan carefully checked the ground where the darkness fell, and there was no power left.

"It comes and goes without a trace, and it is hard to guard against." Li Fan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

And the group of You people closed their eyes and prayed devoutly again.

"It seems that only they can respond to the darkness through this kind of prayer. Ordinary humans, no matter how similar they look, cannot trigger the power of darkness."

"It is also easy to understand. Only by joining our Ten Thousand Worlds Federation, passing the oath of the True Immortal Statue, and joining the True Immortal Network, can his prayer be sensed by me. I think the power of darkness also exists in such an invisible network."

Li Fan thought to himself: "So the key is how to join this network without being swallowed by the darkness."

In the Netherworld, the strange appearance of Mo Rubin's body is still vivid. Just the physical body came into contact with it, and it ended up like this. It is hard to imagine that the body and soul are all thrown into the darkness and can be spared.

Then, Li Fan ordered his dead men to try to imitate the attempt to communicate with the darkness, which also proved his guess.

Disappeared without a sound, swallowed by the darkness. No one can see the person alive, and no body can be seen dead.

In a short period of time, the power of darkness was frequently invoked. It seems that some subtle changes have also occurred.

As the master of the Spirit Wood Realm, Li Fan vaguely felt that the whole world became dark for a moment.

After confirming with the leader of the Nether Clan, Li Fan knew that this was not his illusion.

But the darkness did have a tendency to flow here.

Li Fan decisively stopped the experiment temporarily.

After asking the various people in the Nether Clan for a long time, Li Fan finally roughly figured out the current situation of the dark power in the Xuanhuang Realm.

It's like a dark ocean gathering on the "back" of Xuanhuang.

Although they were fixed in place by some mysterious power, the pervasive nature of darkness caused them to sometimes invade Xuanhuang and various small worlds along any possible "gap".

Invasion, and finally return to the netherworld.

This cycle repeated, forming an existence similar to "tide".
