The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2944 - 2919: Boundless Darkness

Lin Bai’s mind stirred, perceiving the location of the flying sword.

He willed the flying sword to return, but as it flew towards Lin Bai, it seemed as if a chasm separated them, and in a short time, the flying sword could not return to Lin Bai’s hand at all.

Lin Bai turned once more, heading in the direction where Ye Suxin had disappeared.

But after just a few steps, Lin Bai halted again because he realized he had forgotten which direction Ye Suxin had vanished in, as all around was the exact same darkness, perpetual and sunless darkness.

No matter which direction Lin Bai walked, it was as if he was treading in place.

It felt as if he could never escape this cage of darkness.

"Is it a Magic Circle?"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and at that moment, a glow flashed from his brow, and a black gleam spread forth.

Lin Bai raised the wooden sword and fiercely slashed forward.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill, Breaking Prohibition!"

The Breaking Prohibition sword, able to tear through any formation under heaven and earth.

Yet, the instant this sword left his hand, it did not bring Lin Bai any joy.

The sword seemed incapable of cleaving the darkness before him.

"Stop wasting your energy!"

As Lin Bai puzzled, suddenly an elderly voice came from the darkness.

And at this moment, Lin Bai looked up to see that from within the darkness, that Black Cat, shrouded in black aura, approached once more.

"It’s you causing trouble," Lin Bai looked at the Black Cat and asked indifferently.

The Black Cat stopped ten steps in front of Lin Bai, crouching in the darkness, its pitch-black eyes staring directly at Lin Bai.

The Black Cat said, "Hehe, there’s no need for you to waste any more effort. You cannot leave this darkness!"

"Boundless Darkness!"

"People like you, blinded by benefit, should be trapped in this darkness, so you can never come out, until the moment of your death!"

"Here, you will repent slowly!"

The Black Cat spoke to Lin Bai with a hint of mockery.

Lin Bai looked at the Black Cat and said, "It seems the nine passageways are just a guise, no matter which one we walk into, we would end up ensnared in this endless darkness?"

The Black Cat said, "Indeed so!"

Lin Bai asked, "What is this place exactly, that it has such a powerful formation?"

The Black Cat looked strangely at Lin Bai and said, "You mean to say you don’t even know what this place is? And you dared to enter casually?"

Lin Bai looked at the Black Cat, silent.

The Black Cat shook its head and said, "Forget it, since you don’t know, let it be, stay and wallow in this darkness!"

With that, the Black Cat prepared to turn and leave.

At that moment, Lin Bai called out, "What about the other two who came with me?"

The Black Cat said, "They have their own destinations, you should focus on yourself!"

The Black Cat stood up, beginning to vanish into the darkness.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "Do you truly think this mere darkness can trap me?"

The Black Cat stopped, turned to look at Lin Bai, its eyes slightly provocative, and said, "Hmph, everyone who comes here without exception can freely exhibit their divine powers here and see if you can get out!"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "Is that so?"

As he spoke, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and from above Lin Bai’s head, the Martial Soul began to emanate.

"Oh! Martial Soul? Even if your Martial Soul has a Secret Skill to break formations, the darkness here is boundless. It is not a formation but true darkness!"

"Darkness you cannot dispel!"

The Black Cat said disdainfully.

Lin Bai looked at the Black Cat with a cold smile, remaining silent as the Devouring Sword Spirit of his Martial Soul slowly illuminated above his head.

At the moment when the Devouring Sword Spirit hovered over Lin Bai’s head, a powerful suction suddenly spread from the sword that resembled black jade.

The darkness here, where one could not see their fingers, was actually being absorbed bit by bit by the Devouring Sword Spirit!

"In front of me, be it light or darkness, if I wish, I can transform it into nothingness!"

Lin Bai sneered.

Rumble——

The darkness flowed like water, being absorbed by Lin Bai’s Devouring Sword Spirit.

At this moment, the Black Cat’s expression immediately turned horrified, staring wide-eyed at the sharp sword hovering in the darkness, clearly startled by Lin Bai’s terrifying power!

"Ye Suxin, where is Lin Ye?"

With the Devouring Sword Spirit above his head, Lin Bai asked the Black Cat, eyes sharp.

The Black Cat screamed repeatedly, the power of the Devouring Sword Spirit not only devoured this endless darkness but also steadily consumed the Black Cat’s life.

At this moment, the Black Cat felt its life, lifespan, body, flesh, spiritual power, and cultivation being consumed bit by bit by this sharp sword.

"Monster... Monster..." The Black Cat cried out repeatedly, turning around, rapidly disappearing into the darkness.

And the moment the Black Cat disappeared, the surrounding darkness suddenly dispersed.

When the darkness dispersed.

Lin Bai looked up to see he had been standing in that passageway all along.

However, at this moment, the passage seemed much brighter than before.

Yet, there was still no sign of Lin Ye or Ye Suxin nearby.

The Devouring Sword Spirit seemed not to have harmed the inside of the Heaven and Earth Peak.

Everything around was intact.

Lin Bai retracted the Devouring Sword Spirit, his gaze strange as he looked ahead: "What kind of creature is that Black Cat, able to divide heaven and earth?"

"Where have Ye Suxin and Lin Ye gone?"

Lin Bai, with a strange expression, pondered for a moment before stepping forward to continue walking.

Although Lin Bai had already found this place extremely strange, he had to keep moving forward; if he couldn’t find Ye Suxin and Lin Ye, Lin Bai feared he could never leave this place for the rest of his life.

Walking in the passage, soon, Lin Bai reached the end of it.

The end of the passage where Lin Bai stood was atop a cliff.

The end of this passage contained another world.

Lin Bai reached the end, stood on the cliff, and a strange wind blew from the vast world ahead.

Evidently, the strange wind Lin Bai had felt inside the passage just now was blowing from this vast world ahead.

"My God, where on earth is this place?"

Lin Bai stood dumbfounded on the cliff, looking at the world ahead!

This place no longer seemed to be within Heaven and Earth Peak.

Before Lin Bai, at this moment, appeared a world resembling an underground palace.

Within this underground palace, countless white bones were piled.

And these white bones, the skeletons were exceptionally large; some of the bones alone were over ten meters long.

Lin Bai looked briefly at these skeletons, shocked, because these were not the skeletons of ordinary demon beasts and warriors.

"Such massive skeletons, only the Giant God Clan could have, right!"

"But the skeletons here are definitely not the remains of the Giant God Clan!"

"So besides the Giant God Clan, what other entity in heaven and earth could have such massive skeletons, except for prehistoric giant beasts!"

Lin Bai’s eyes were aghast; the underground palace before him was actually filled with the remains of prehistoric giant beasts!
