Chapter 1094 - 1117: Battle Against the Dark King
Seeing the huge dark monster appear, Chu Linfeng was shocked in his heart. This should be the last monster in this place, but its aura was incredibly powerful—more formidable than any opponent he had encountered before, even surpassing Shangguan Ruhuo.
Trying to slay this creature was truly not easy, especially with those hundreds of densely packed scythes that were terrifying, flashing with a ghostly light in this dark space.
Chu Linfeng frantically circulated the chaotic immortal power within his body. Now, he no longer feared the dark Qi; even if the opponent unleashed a dark domain, it posed no threat to him. Although he hadn’t yet practiced dark transformation, he could communicate with the dark element and achieve resonance.
The damaged places on his body were rapidly repairing. At this moment, the dark monster looked at Chu Linfeng and said, "The fact that you were able to slay my three generals shows you have some skill. But thinking you can leave here alive is impossible; let me show you the real power of this king."
Echoing its words, the monster rushed toward Chu Linfeng, the countless scythes swinging as if it was the Thousand-Handed Guanyin, with countless blade astrals appearing in the space, the majority attacking Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng raised the Cyan Frost Divine Sword and, using all his chaotic immortal power, quickly unleashed a star slash. The sword radiated a light that instantly surged, meeting the scythe attack with a sword aura almost twenty meters long.
"Boom!" A loud noise spread across the space, causing intense oscillations as if it was about to break open, and energy stormed everywhere, appearing extremely terrifying.
This strike was about evenly matched, as Chu Linfeng and the dark monster both retreated several dozen meters before stabilizing. Both stared directly at each other, expressing surprise at their respective attack powers.
"Indeed, you’re a master, but you are still not a match for me. Our dark elf clan is not something a lowly human like you can defeat; let me show you the power of dark Qi," the dark monster said.
"Hey, you old bastard; you must have lived here for tens of thousands of years, right? How can you still be so ignorant? Since I’m here, do you really think I’ll be afraid of you? You better obediently hand over the Dark Spirit Pearl, or the one who will die is you. My patience has its limits," Chu Linfeng said dismissively.
The high king cannot be slandered or underestimated by a lowly human; the dark monster immediately became enraged, and a strong surge of dark Qi erupted from its body, along with the casting of the space domain, all attacking Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng found the domain extremely frustrating; most immortals could have domains, yet he could not. He didn’t know if Yueyan and Ruo Lan had domains, but at this moment, thinking of them only made Chu Linfeng’s heart more anxious.
His body was instantly controlled, unable to move—this old monster’s power was truly at the late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, or possibly at the Divine Human Realm, merely hiding beneath the soil layer without ascending.
It felt like a weight of ten thousand pounds was pressing on him, making it difficult for Chu Linfeng to breathe, his facial muscles constantly twisting, and sweat, as big as beans, dropping like rain. At this moment, he could only desperately endure.
Soon, a dense mass of dark Qi, even more intense than the dark monster’s earlier, arrived before Chu Linfeng. He wasn’t afraid of this dark Qi; the dark element on the magical Elemental Pearl in his body briefly illuminated, after which the dark Qi in front of him was entirely absorbed into his Dantian, slowly disappearing.
If looked at carefully, the color corresponding to the dark element on the Elemental Pearl got a bit deeper, but the pressure on his body did not reduce at all; there was always the possibility of being crushed down.
"I must communicate with this dark element; having already mastered the dark element should allow me to achieve this point." Chu Linfeng muttered to himself.
Extending his divine sense, he slowly began communicating with the dense dark element in this space. Having experience communicating with other elements, Chu Linfeng didn’t take much time to achieve this.
Seeing Chu Linfeng absorbed his dark Qi directly, the monster was shocked, fully aware of the dark Qi’s powerful corrosiveness—gold and stone would be corroded thoroughly. Yet, this lad showed no sign of harm, forcing the monster to acknowledge his extraordinary traits.
"Kid, didn’t expect you to devour my dark Qi; I really underestimated you. You think you can survive—you’re dreaming!" the dark monster roared angrily.
Chu Linfeng had no spare time to talk to it now; he was communicating with the dark element. Once successful, the pressure on him would naturally vanish, rendering the monster’s dark domain ineffective against him.
However, the monster noticed Chu Linfeng remained unmoving under the domain’s pressure, surprisingly bearing it. With a swift move, it charged toward Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng was shocked internally; this creature could attack while maintaining the domain—a rarity. Usually, if the main body attacked, the domain would automatically be withdrawn. But upon closer inspection, he found the monster was still in place, and the attacker was merely one of its clones.
Monsters used clones too; the world was changing indeed. Chu Linfeng was at the most critical moment, and just as the monster’s giant scythe was about to slash him, he achieved resonance with the dark particles.
In the nick of time, he employed Shift Form and Shadow, narrowly evading the powerful strike, his back drenched in sweat. A second slower might have meant being cut in two by the monster’s scythe—truly danger upon danger.
After dodging the clone’s attack, Chu Linfeng swiftly swung the Cyan Frost Divine Sword, striking one blow. The clone’s strength was in the Early to Middle-stage Immortal Emperor range, unable to resist the Star Slash’s power, which sent it flying hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground, unable to get up for quite a while.
The dark monster visibly trembled, its clone disappearing instantly. However, its main body seemed severely wounded, letting out a furious roar toward the heavens.
"Kid, you dare harm my clone? Today, this king needs you dead!" the dark monster declared.
"Go to hell, if you ever try! You’ve said this multiple times; I’m tired of hearing it. Can’t you say something else? Like surrendering, begging for mercy, or bowing to me—I’d rather hear that," Chu Linfeng replied.
At this moment, the monster’s aura was rapidly swelling, making Chu Linfeng feel increasingly threatened. He knew the monster was prepared to go all out against him. He couldn’t afford to appear weak; he could still perform one more Divine Slash with the chaotic immortal power within him, intending to show this opponent the true might of his Divine Slash...
