Chapter 521 The Heartbeat of the Descendant
tick-

A twisted, viscous, liquid-like shadow dripped from the ceiling and sprinkled on He Ao's side.

A pitch-black shadow enveloped everything, and at the same time blocked He Ao's sight.

He mobilized his consciousness to look around, only to see the energy flowing in the entire hall. In this vast space, there was no humanoid object except him.

The staff who were originally walking around melted into the floor like liquid at this moment, twisting and entangled together.

These shadows between virtual and real seem to form a complete whole, but these energy flows have no clear core, they only have vague nodes intertwined with each other, which looks like a fine three-dimensional net.

He Ao briefly turned on Chao Yi and glanced around. In Chao Yi's field of vision, the surroundings were still silent and dark, without any soul beating.

At this moment, He Ao felt that he was not in a wide hall, but standing in a deep, dark abyss full of twists and weirdness, which had not been visited for thousands of years.

Mysteries and unknowns are filled here.

Fear climbed into He Ao's heart little by little, and the distorted power soaked into He Ao's soul like water droplets into a sponge, bringing him the deepest trembling in his soul.

He Ao didn't see anything scary, nor was he recalled any scary memories.

But for no reason, the sudden fear spread all over his heart.

He Ao stood there, seemingly in a daze.

The shadow under his feet squirmed and was separated like water waves, a pitch-black arm stretched out from the shadow water waves little by little, and then grabbed He Ao's ankle.

Immediately afterwards, one arm after another stretched out from the shadows, grabbing his feet, his calves.

The arms of these shadows are arranged one by one, grabbing He Ao's thighs, holding He Ao's upper body, until they hold his arms, his neck, and his head.

These arms made of shadows are like cocoons wrapping butterfly larvae, superimposed one after another, completely covering He Ao's body, and then dragging him into the shadows bit by bit.

The surrounding shadows rippled faintly, and those arms disappeared little by little, like ice cubes melting in water, returning to the shadows little by little.

And He Ao's body, which was wrapped by them, also disappeared in the shadow a little bit.

tick-

The liquid transformed from the shadow dripped from the ceiling onto the undulating ground, making a crisp sound.

The last arm was also completely lost in the pitch-black silence.

The whole world seems to have fallen into absolute silence at this moment.

He Ao felt as if he had fallen into a space that kept falling, and there was a downward attraction dragging him down continuously, falling continuously.

This seems to be an endless abyss, and even the soul will die in this eternal fall,

Endless ravings reverberated in his ears, as if they were filled with the despair of those who died in vain for countless years in this abyss.

And at this moment, He Ao turned on the super memory, opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding darkness.

A faint dim light flickered at the end of this endless abyss.

right there!

He placed a mark on the brilliance, then raised the Shadowless Sword in his hand, his consciousness spread from his fingertips to the sword, and then swung down towards the endless abyss in front of him.

Sizzling, like the sound of a curtain being ripped.

······
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated a little, and some moonlight shone along the windows that were not yet covered by shadows.

Under the bright moonlight, an invisible blade pierced through the shadows and slowly slid downward.

The moonlight sprinkled on the blade, refracting little traces, as if the sharp blade was cast with this cold brilliance.

A faint, invisible color flickered on the sharp blade, and then the sharp blade slid downwards, cutting apart the dark shadow like a curtain.

A huge crack protruded from the shadow, He Ao opened the crack and jumped out of the shadow.

The light of the bright moon sprinkled on his side face.

Sure enough, the 'Abyss' just perceived is actually in the body of this shadow, the boundless space is actually a dislocation and distortion of perception.

And the shadowless sword with spiritual consciousness is also lethal to this kind of shadow between the invisible and the tangible.

Endless fear still spread in He Ao's heart, but it didn't affect his ability to act.

His sluggishness just now was actually waiting for the shadow to swallow him up.

This hall, which is completely covered by shadows, can already be regarded as a whole of life in a sense, and its life intensity has reached B level.

Standing outside this whole body, He Ao could not find the soul of this shadow life, nor could he find its energy core.

But there is an active flow of energy in its body, which is something that strange phenomena and supernatural objects do not have, so He Ao is sure that it is a life.

This is the first time He Ao saw a life without a soul, or this shadow life is just a puppet without life itself, and there are manipulators behind the scenes.

Either this shadow has some kind of ability to shield soul fluctuations, and can cover up the existence of one's own soul.

And He Ao is more inclined to the latter guess, because a very real problem is that although the mysterious shadow is powerful, the power it projects is limited.

After all, those like good friends who like to spend a huge price to come at their own expense are a minority. Usually, the gods need to have enough sacrifices to pass on their power.

The strength of the carrier itself also determines the difficulty of upgrading. The stronger the carrier, the greater the degree and upper limit of the upgrade, and the smaller the amount of sacrifices consumed.

But to raise an ordinary person to a rational B-level level, the energy consumed is much greater than that of a C-level extraordinary person, and a large-scale sacrifice is required.

Because the soul of an ordinary person can't bear the huge power of B-level, while improving the body, it is also necessary to strengthen the soul, otherwise it is very likely to become a monster that loses its mind.

Therefore, the predecessor of this shadow life is most likely a C-level powerhouse.

According to Rhodes' past habits, whether it is Rose or the puppeteer, these servants who have been strengthened to have B-level strength, their souls have only maintained C-level, so the soul of the shadow monster in front of him should be the same. Maintain a C-level degree.

That's why it hides its soul, its soul is its weakness.

But not visible from the outside, not necessarily invisible from the inside.

So He Ao simply changed his mind, when he sensed that the shadow wanted to devour him, he let the shadow devour him, and then he found the hidden soul in the shadow's body.

And as he expected, this soul is far weaker than the body, and it cannot match the huge body of the B-rank.

Of course, only he can do this operation. He has divine consciousness, can cut the shadows, and is not affected by those twisted ravings.

Change to an ordinary B-level with weaker mental resistance, or with no means of dealing with shadows, and it will be gone just now.

Considering the degree of weirdness and its own pollution, the comprehensive strength of this shadow is even stronger than that of a puppeteer, and it is probably not considered weak in the B-level.

And as a price, this shadow is far less rational than the puppeteer.

At this moment, He Ao turned on the super memory, and could feel the thoughts of the shadow.

Most of those thoughts were terrifying killing intent and chaotic and distorted ravings. Ordinary people would probably mutate into distorted monsters just by hearing these ravings.

Of course, in these chaotic thoughts, He Ao could also feel the surprise of this shadow life that He Ao just broke free from its body.

It seemed to show a degree of incomprehension to He Ao's ability.

However, if you can't understand it, you can't understand it. Its movements are not slow. Almost at the same time when He Ao came out, the shadow under He Ao's feet began to squirm violently.

These originally flat and solid shadows like the ground are twisted like mud at this moment, swallowing He Ao's feet almost instantly.

At the same time, those squirming shadows turned into fine needles, trying to pierce He Ao's skin and sink into his blood vessels.

He Ao's current avatar itself is only C-level, and it can't resist the attacks of these sharp needles at all.

But he was not in a hurry, he first mobilized the power in his body, let them gather on his feet as much as possible, and then guided a divine sense to disperse and resist the intruding shadow, then he stepped on his feet, and with light force, he broke free from the shadow's control .

His strength was not great, because he found that the more he exerted force, the tighter the shadow would be entangled, but he lifted it up gently, and the shadow did not have any entanglement.

Immediately afterwards, his feet stepped on these wriggling shadows and moved forward quickly.

At the beginning, he stepped on the soles of his feet in the shadows, but soon sank into them, and then he concentrated his strength on the toes, reducing the ground contact area, and it was like walking on the ground.

The nature of these shadows does not quite conform to common sense.

The shadow life also immediately noticed that He Ao had figured out its shadow state, and quickly changed its state, but his thoughts directly helped He Ao point out the way.

So amidst these squirming and twisting shadows, He Ao's footsteps were as smooth as walking on flat ground.

But at the same time, those fine needles kept gushing out from the shadows in all directions, piercing He Ao's clothes and sinking into his skin.

Although most of these shadow needles will soon be expelled by the wandering consciousness, but a small part will still enter He Ao's body.

The moment they enter the body, they will turn into corrosive bugs, and begin to try He Ao's body structure, eroding the energy in his body.

The shadow life obviously realized that He Ao could not be killed by direct devouring from the outside, so he chose to destroy He Ao's body from the inside.

As time passed, there were more and more shadow bugs invading his body, He Ao had to use his mind to fight against these sharp needles, and the power he could mobilize became less and less.

These shadows will eventually make him lose the ability to resist, and then swallow him again in one bite.

The surroundings were still pitch black without any brilliance. After coming out of the body of the shadow life, He Ao could no longer see the position of the soul of the shadow life.

But this does not affect He Ao's actions.

He directly looked for the node where the shadow life energy gathered the most, and cut it down with a single sword.

Now is the time to fight for time.

Let's see if the shadow life devours Hoo first, or Hoo kills him first.

The shadows wrapped around the energy nodes were cut open by a sword, and quickly closed again.

Of course, this is not the core of the shadow life, but the places where these energies gather are more or less important, and attacking these places will cause the shadow life to worry.

And at this time, the opponent whose reason is not perfect will subconsciously protect his true core.

And He Ao can determine the relative position of the core of the shadow life and himself by constantly changing the position and feeling the change of the mentality of the shadow life.

In this way, in the constant changes, although the surroundings were pitch black, He Ao even lost part of his perception of the distance of space, but he was getting closer and closer to the core of the shadow life.

Between the flickering of his figure, he walked to the deepest part of the shadow.

At this!

The invisible sword light streaked across the pitch-black space, splitting the distorted shadows.

At this moment, that dim soul finally appeared in He Ao's vision.

And with this soul, there are endless energy lines that meet at this point.

This body is too large. In order to prevent the fatal weakness caused by the inability of the soul to fully fit with the body like Rose, this shadow life gave up the method of distributing energy cores, and instead bound the energy cores to the soul, so as to be able to Tightly control the entire huge body.

In fact, its method is perfect, after all, it almost hides the energy core perfectly, only the soul is exposed to a certain extent.

But those who can find the soul, can they still see the energy core?
These are almost completely different two kinds of power, which have gone beyond its world view, beyond the basic knowledge given to it by the mysterious shadow along with the power.

It's impossible, absolutely impossible.

But Ho Ao had swung his sword at its energy core.

While being surprised and terrified, it did not forget to fight back, the shadows of the entire space shrank, and the shadows cut by He Ao gathered together again, and a thick wall composed entirely of pitch-black shadows quickly took shape.

However, at the moment when the defense was about to be formed, He Ao's eyes fixed on the soul that was about to be covered up again.

Mental disturbance!

The soul of this shadow life is still C rank.

Under the influence of Chao Yi's huge spiritual power, all the movements of the shadow life stopped for an instant.

At this moment, the invisible sword light wrapped a faint brilliance, piercing the unformed shadow wall, and piercing the twisted energy core.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the shadows covering the entire space suddenly boiled up. With the sound of tearing flesh and blood, pieces of shadows collapsed from the top of He Ao's head and shattered on the ground.

The hazy light passed through the gap between the shadows, and finally brought some light to this dark world.

Soon, the entire pitch-black space completely collapsed, and countless shadow fragments fell like a torrential rain.

And those shadow bugs wandering in He Ao's body also lost control, and were expelled from the body by the power of divine consciousness.

He Ao scanned the entire hall and found the stairwell in the corner.

Then he drew back his sword, his figure shuttled through the shadow fragments, and rushed into the stairwell without looking back.

As if the whole collapsed world had nothing to do with him.

That shadow monster was a mutation of a C-level transcendent.

And there is actually only one C-level in the headquarters of Moonlight Ruodan, and that is one of the two C-levels sent by Queen Moonlight.

And he should also be the strongest combat power in this headquarters besides Rhodes.

In other words, after getting rid of this guy, He Ao needs to face a strong enemy in the next step, which is only Rhodes.

He quickly went up the stairs.

The staircase of this pointed building is spiral and seems to lead all the way to the top of the whole building.

But He Ao didn't take a few steps, a twisted shadow monster rushed out of the stairwell and rushed towards He Ao.

The invisible sword light cut off the monster with a sword, and He Ao's footsteps continued to move forward without stopping. At this time, a shadow stood on the platform of the stairs in front.

It was a young man with a gentle smile on his face. He looked at He Ao with a calm and natural tone, "Mr. Hao Yi, you still have a chance to become one of us, don't try to stop my lord, that's just a dream.

"The end of the world has come, and all those who do not believe in my lord will be destroyed under his terrifying power. Only by becoming a slave of my lord can we obtain evolution and eternal life in this end."

He Ao stopped in his tracks and looked at him suspiciously.

"It seems that you are stubborn and unwilling to listen to good advice."

The young man stretched out his hand, took out a pistol turned into a dark shadow, and pointed it at He Ao.

boom--

The pitch-black shadow bullet crossed the void and shot at He Ao's eyebrows. He Ao turned slightly to the right, dodging the shadow bullet, and then leaped forward, reaching the young man in an instant. Swipe upwards.

Before the young man could react, the sharp blade had already cut his body.

The young man shook his body slightly, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Then his body fell forward, rolling down between the stairs, blood with light green brilliance flowing down the stairs.

He Ao put away the Shadowless Sword, and looked away from the young man.

Pseudo-C rank, and it is not strong in the pseudo-C rank, it should have just acquired a strong strength, a little swollen.

His footsteps did not stop, and he continued to move forward.

As he got closer to the roof, more and more twisted shadow monsters appeared in front of him.

In the end, the Shadowless Sword, an extraordinary item that kills more and is sharper and invisible, even loses its invisible effect, because the blood on the sword has never flowed clean.

Finally, stepping on the road paved with twisted flesh and blood, He Ao stepped onto the top floor.

This is a cone-shaped space. Except for the ground under the feet, the rest of the space is made of fully transparent glass. When you look up, you can see the bright moon and stars above your head that are half covered by dark clouds.

"I didn't expect that you could actually kill Locke."

Standing in the center of the room, looking at the whole city, Rhodes turned around and looked at He Ao with a smile.

With gray hair and a gentle face, he looked like a kind old man.

"There are always things in this world that are unpredictable."

He Ao looked behind Rhodes, and there was an invisible force connected between the bright lights.

In a daze, He Ao seemed to hear the sound of a slow and heavy beating heart.

That's the huge ceremony that spreads across the entire Nancheng is taking effect, and these forces are agitating at a frequency that seems to be raving.

Just hearing this beating sound filled He Ao with distorted and crazy emotions.

Beyond the endless time and space, it seems that a vast gaze is coming.

It is a great existence that cannot be seen directly, it is the reflection of endless mystery, and it is the end that brings destruction.

tick-

The last drop of blood dripped from the Shadowless Sword, and the sharp edge of the sword disappeared into the invisible void.

Howe raised his head and stared at Rhodes,
"It seems that you will not be willing to stop this ceremony."

"It seems that you will not be willing to take the initiative to return to the embrace of my lord."

Rhodes looked at him with a smile on his face.

The figures of the two disappeared at the same time.

　A little Calvin, a little later.
