Chapter 57 The Milky Way is also a River

"He is not omnipresent, but he can hide in the shadows. To be more precise, the one who holds this power is the shadow himself."

"Mist is just a cover. Mist can form a shadow. If there is a shadow, you can walk in."

"He killed me by crushing my head with the shadow of the Shadow Hood"

"I see."

Chen Xiang muttered to himself as he stepped on the paper engraved with the Time Loop Rune. A ten-meter-high pitch-black flame rose up behind him, like a pitch-black mountain!
The madman seemed to sense something, exploded into a cloud of mist, and disappeared into the shadows.
The next moment.

He was driven out by the shadows.

The pale-faced young man in a formal suit was stunned. Without time to think, he decisively freed himself and his body suddenly expanded!

Three meters! Five meters! Eight meters! Twelve meters!

He faced the pitch-black flames. The ten-meter-high black flames blocked out all light, forming a large shadow.
"It's you?"

Through the shadows, the madman saw Chen Xiang, a bloodthirsty light appeared in his eyes, and he broke through the curtain formed by the black flames and stepped forward with a roar! !
He passed through Chen Xiang.

The madman didn't believe it, so he rushed back and passed through Chen Xiang's body again.

Blurred.

"Void. Void for such a long time, um, a person favored by God." The mad giant clapped his hands together suddenly, and the shadow in the alley unexpectedly became three-dimensional at this moment, rushing towards him like a tide, wrapping him!
The mad giant turned into a shadow giant. The tall buildings on both sides of the alley trembled slightly, and many people in the buildings panicked.

Someone stuck his head out and saw a huge body made of pure shadow. His vision was polluted, his spirit was severely shocked, and he fell into frenzy!
Chen Xiang stared quietly at the huge shadow giant and stretched out a hand with five fingers spread out.

The shadow that enveloped the mad giant also opened up.

"This" the madman was stunned.

The next moment,
Chen Xiang clenched his five fingers into a fist, and the huge shadow suddenly shrank. The madman let out a terrible howl, and his twelve-meter-tall body was madly squeezed by the shadow!

Eight meters! Five meters! Three meters! Two meters!
He was forcibly squeezed back to his normal size, and a large amount of blood spilled from his already cracked body!

"This is impossible!"

The madman laughed, his eyes piercing through the shadow that enveloped him, staring at Chen Xiang. As he laughed, a look of horror appeared on his face:
"You, you are."

"Lord of Shadows?"

He prostrated himself on the ground in silence.

Chen Xiang did not answer. While getting familiar with his new authority, he dragged the madman into the shadows and walked with him in the shadows.

Almost in an instant, shadows surged in the secret room of the old house, and two figures emerged.

The shadows in the house turned into chains, binding the madman tightly and pressing him to the ground.

Chen Xiang stared down at him condescendingly. There were too many suspicious things happening recently.

Xiaohu practices the Colossus Method, and the madman in front of him also graduated from the Colossus Academy.
The academy sent teaching assistants and students to the Ninth Ring for training. As soon as the hovercraft reached the Ninth Ring, it was attacked by rockets, but the academy did not respond at all.
The most important thing is that from beginning to end, the academy did not provide any content for the training.

It’s as if students don’t need any experience content.

It was as if the academy knew that an accident would happen.

For a long time,

Chen Xiang stared at the madman and spoke softly:
"I ask, you answer?"

The madman made a "ho ho" sound, and his restless spirit became even more restless under the suppression of the huge shadow.
He still wanted to resist and raised his head desperately, but he saw that the young man who could make shadows surrender had put on a monocle on his face.

The madman's chaotic mind was forcibly calmed down, and he regained his sanity.

Chen Xiang spoke for the second time:
"I ask, you answer?"

After a long silence, the madman nodded in doubt.

"As you wish."

………………

Above the spiritual world.

The indescribable huge existence slowly opened its eyes. The vast universe was silent at this moment. The darkness enveloped the entire spiritual world, and countless extraordinary lives trembled.

The Silent One, the lord of night and silence, is also the Lord of Shadows.

"The shadow. A part is missing."

His whispers tore through space and dimensions, and his majesty and vastness seemed to be mixed with palpitations.

"I have become weaker."

"We can't let them know."

[The Silent One] hesitated for a long time, but finally closed his eyes again. The darkness that had engulfed the entire spiritual world also receded like a tide.

………………

"Is there anyone behind you?"

This is Chen Xiang’s first question.

Under the dual effects of the [Spiritual Mentor] and the Shadow Authority, the madman is no longer mad, but has become exceptionally calm and obedient.

He bowed his head, as if worshipping the Supreme Being, and said every word with great piety: "Yes."

"Who?"

"Colossus Academy."

The answer was both unexpected and expected, and Chen Xiang's expression suddenly darkened.

moment,

He continued to ask:
"Tell me everything, cause and effect."

The madman confessed everything.

According to him, whether it was starting a riot in the Ninth Ring or fleeing to the Eighth Ring, it was all instructions from the academy. The specific reason was unknown, and the madman was just following orders.

In return, he can obtain more resources from the academy, which is also the fundamental reason why he can enter the extraordinary realm.

"Riot, nine rings, eight rings."

Chen Xiang frowned and asked again:

"Do you know about the rockets that attacked the hovercraft?"

"I know a little bit." The madman nodded affirmatively: "It was the Jazz who did it. I guess the Jazz is also from the academy. But I have no evidence, it's just a guess."

Chen Xiang's expression became even uglier.

What exactly does the college want to do?
Nine Rings, Eight Rings, Colossus Academy
Gash, or the Ninth Ring, is located in the most remote periphery of the Great City, but it has the largest area, covering 20,000 square kilometers, occupying one-fifth of the Great City.

According to the first generation, the Nine Rings were abandoned by the Great City and became a place of chaos, a place without rules, and...
The testing ground and descent place of the gods.

Therefore, the strong ones in the other rings are not allowed to enter the ninth ring.
If what the madman said was true, if my guess was correct, then what was the reason for the academy to stage the attack?
Chen Xiang really couldn't understand.

He felt as if he had caught a glimpse of a corner of a huge vortex.

After a moment's silence, Chen Xiang asked again:
"Do you know the Church of the Void?"

"know."

"Is it related to the college?"

"do not know."

Chen Xiang nodded silently. The old director of the orphanage also went to Jiuhuan, and he went there in the name of an assistant teacher in the academy, but now his whereabouts are unknown.

Disturbing.

After asking the madman a few more questions, the latter could not answer any of them clearly. Finally, Chen Xiang asked:
"What on earth is in the villa that makes you so scared?"

"I don't know. When I wanted to go in and slaughter everything, a powerful being far beyond my imagination warned me from nowhere."

The madman raised his head at this time and asked in confusion: "Isn't it you?"

Chen Xiang did not answer, but stretched out his hand and pressed lightly.

The shadows in the secret room seemed to come alive, squirming and wrapping around the madman. A pitch-black flame burned in the shadows, and pure white ashes fluttered in the air.
The huge amount of energy and spirit knocked Chen Xiang off balance, his muscles and bones vibrated, and his blood boiled, but he did not become much stronger. His maximum physical strength increased from ten meters to eleven meters, that's all.

"I have already approached the true limit of a Beyonder. To go further, I can only become a Transcendent."

"Should we use the saint's blood prepared by Auntie to baptize him in a few days, or should we wait for the altar?"

"The altar is in the hands of Mr. Su. He may not give it to me. But judging from what Mr. Su said, today's lecture may not be peaceful."

For a moment, Chen Xiang even wanted to give up attending the lecture, but reason told him that he had to get the altar.

He longed for stability, but this was no reason to hide. His identity had already doomed him to be unable to live in peace, and he had to grasp the possibility of becoming stronger together! !
"Abyssal black flame, emptiness, shadow."

"Abyssal Black Flame is currently the most useful, and Virtualization has not yet been fully developed. Shadow seems to be the strongest right now, and can control all the shadows I see;"

"In terms of potential, Aetherialization and Shadow should be above Abyssal Black Flame."

While talking to himself, Chen Xiang asked:

"Mirror, tell me, among these three powers, which one has the greatest potential?"

"To answer your question, I can't tell."

The mirror spoke softly:
"There's no need to mention the black flame. The virtualization may be related to the reverse reality or anti-reality. It is a reverse world similar to the mirror world, but above the mirror world. "

After a pause, it continued:

"As for the shadow, it is a conceptual authority that is far superior to the previous two. You should perhaps expand your thinking. There is no upper limit to concepts. Everything depends on the origin of the soul."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiang asked with a frown.

The mirror thought for a moment, then said:
"For example, shadow refers to the place that is not in the light, but it is not just the place that is not in the light. Shadow is shadow, spiritual shadow is also shadow, cosmic shadow, space-time shadow, dimensional shadow are also shadows."

Chen Xiang was stunned:

"Just like... the Milky Way is also a river?"

"You really know how to draw inferences from one example!"
