Chapter 717: Chapter 313 Janitor_1

An elderly dragon-headed monster said, "I have a feeling that his patience seems to be running out."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace asked, "What will happen when his patience runs out?"

The dragon-headed monsters shook their heads; no one knew, but the fear in their eyes revealed that whatever the outcome, it was going to be a terrifying one.

At that moment, the darkness in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and eventually, light was restored to the sky.

After taking a long sigh of relief, everyone started to emerge from underground...

Qin Shou and the others followed suit and stood outside, marveling at the peculiar ground beneath their feet, and exclaimed in amazement, "That abyss just now had an immeasurable strength, could be a top Great Golden Immortal, maybe even an Emperor level freak, or possibly an Overlord. Anyway, I just can’t figure it out, there’s no Formation, nothing at all, how could it keep these guys safe and sound here?"

Chongba also said, "Indeed, the stronger the person, the more terrifying their Divine Sense. To a Great Golden Immortal, many Formations are virtually useless. But powerful Formations require powerful Yuan Qi to support them, yet here the Yuan Qi is so thin, it’s simply not enough to sustain a grand Formation to protect them."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace said, "Who cares what the reason is? I think we should hurry up and leave. That thing just now, it gave me the creeps..."

Qin Shou nodded and said, "Right, let’s hurry."

Just then, a light laugh sounded, "So this is where you’ve been hiding... Ground soaked with the blood of a Saint, no wonder I couldn’t see through it."

This light laughter, though soft, carried an icy murderous intent within the words that made everyone’s skin crawl!

Qin Shou felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, as though just turning around to take a look would result in being devoured by the other party!

The Eight Trigrams Furnace shivered as it telepathically said, "Rabbit, this... seems... really terrifying!"

Chongba was completely speechless and could only nod desperately.

It was then that Qin Shou realized that all the others around them, except the Eight Trigrams Furnace who could still speak, only Chongba was still standing! The rest of the dragon-headed monsters were all lying on the ground, shivering uncontrollably, unable to move!

This reminded Qin Shou of the scene when a tiger descended from the mountain; when the tiger roared, the wind carried the scent of the tiger into the farmyard. The domesticated chickens all collapsed on the ground, paralyzed, allowing the tiger to bite them to death, one by one, and eat them.

The current situation was just like that!

Even that ancestor of the dragon-headed monsters, who was at the level of a Golden Immortal, lay before him unable to rise, as if a dead chicken.

"What on earth is this thing? Why is it so terrifying?" As Qin Shou thought this, he tried to steal a glance behind him at an angle, but ultimately, he was just a Rabbit, not a fly, so he couldn’t see.

Qin Shou dared not release his Divine Sense, for to open it would be like a beacon in the night, too conspicuous to the other’s eyes.

It was then that Qin Shou heard the sound of flowing water, and then he saw a blackness like water flow past him.

It wasn’t water, nor shadow, nor a substance of any sort; it was a pure darkness!

The darkness spread, swallowing all light and people.

Seeing this, Qin Shou was so frightened that he jumped up and shouted loudly, "Run!"

Then Qin Shou grabbed the Eight Trigrams Furnace and Chongba and fled, soaring into the sky, and as he broke through the atmosphere, the planet behind him shrunk rapidly!

Just at that moment, the Eight Trigrams Furnace shouted, "Rabbit, look quick! Look at that planet!"

Qin Shou turned to look and was truly startled!

He saw, in the vast cosmos, a mass of darkness moving slowly, said to be slow only because its point of reference was the entire starry sky!

In fact, its speed was not slow at all, for the darkness was so vast that it could cover a small star system! Where the darkness passed, all the planets were swallowed up and did not reappear from behind the darkness!

Which is to say, those planets were consumed by the darkness!

The planet Qin Shou had just been on was still far from the darkness at this moment, but a small cluster of darkness had already begun to spread on it.

Chongba said, "That must be the vanguard or the scouts of this mass of darkness, right?"

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "I don’t know, I’ve never seen anything so bizarre, I don’t even know if it’s one single life form or a collective of life forms."

Just then, the Eight Trigrams Furnace yelled out, "I know what this is now!"

Qin Shou and Chongba immediately asked, "What is it?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace said, "The Old Master once mentioned that there is a unique creature between Heaven and Earth that feeds on darkness! They follow the footsteps of darkness, and where they pass, the starry sky is devoured. The Old Master referred to that thing as the Abyss! The Abyss is a mass of darkness, but what it specifically is, the Old Master didn’t say. He only mentioned that it is troublesome but could help the cosmos clear away a lot of rubbish."

Chongba asked, "What do you mean?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace explained, "To put it simply, this thing is a collective of darkness, and its food is darkness! This darkness is not the black of black and white but an emotion! Everyone has negative emotions, and those negative emotions are the dark side. When a person’s dark side is stronger than their bright side, he is a bad person. People like that have Karma, malevolence, fear, and other negative things. These are the Abyss’s favorite food.

However, the darkness within one person is too small to arouse the interest of the Abyss.

Therefore, when a planet, a massive tribe, billions of lives begin to sink into darkness, descend into chaos, and act without restraint, the dark aura they emit will attract the Abyss.

The Abyss will devour all of these people...

From another perspective, the Abyss can also be seen as a cosmic cleaner, specializing in clearing out the rubbish."

Qin Shou asked, "So you’re saying it’s kind of a good guy?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace shook its head and said, "Of course, you can’t put it that way. You’ve seen how big this creature is. Even if it just travels in a straight line, all planets in its path will be devoured. This means that if it’s hunting dark planets and passes by a normal planet or tribe, they will be collateral damage, the innocent sufferers."

Upon saying this, the Eight Trigrams Furnace added, "However, this area is full of refugees, basically not many good people, so him being here should be considered as acting on behalf of Heaven, perhaps."

Qin Shou, however, shook his head and said, "That may not be the case; everywhere there are good and bad people. This creature..."

Chongba interrupted, "What? You planning to take it on?"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "I’m no Saint. Why should I care about this? When people eat cattle and sheep, they don’t consider whether they are good or bad, right? Since it’s a life form, it’s essentially hunting for food. From this perspective, it’s hard to say whether its actions are good or bad."
