As space began to distort, Chen Zhou remained in darkness. Suddenly, he raised his head, his eyes filled with the black aura, and he was plunged into darkness.

Chen Zhou's eyes were wide open, staring intently at the sky. The sky was extremely distorted, and as it distorted, Chen Zhou's body slowly twisted and dissipated.

Chen Zhou's body disappeared, and the entire space could no longer be maintained. Chen Zhou suddenly returned to the Ghost Path he had just been in.

However, Chen Zhou still felt that the surrounding space was pitch black, and it seemed that Chen Zhou had been staying in one place without moving.

"So this child's inner demon is actually a princess?"

The gentle voice from the demonic path continued to appear, clearly showing great curiosity about Chen Zhou's inner demons.

"It seems she has truly fallen into the demonic path. I hope she doesn't go mad. Today, only one woman has successfully fallen into the demonic path. Since you and she are together, don't fall behind..." The gentle voice continued.

Unfortunately, Chen Zhou didn't hear it. At this moment, Chen Zhou seemed to be surrounded by dark shadows, and all the sounds around him were irrelevant to him. Chen Zhou couldn't even feel any temperature, not even his own body temperature.

It was because of this that Chen Zhou's consciousness began to fade, and he even became somewhat listless. Chen Zhou tried to grasp the glimmer of light that suddenly appeared in the distance, but to no avail; he was simply unable to grasp it.

Chen Zhou's inability to grasp that distant object directly led to his further depression.

"Why? Why? Why am I here?"

Chen Zhou muttered to himself, looking at the pitch-black world around him. At this moment, Chen Zhou didn't even know what to do.

"Come, child! Enter my embrace, and you will possess unparalleled power..."

Just as Chen Zhou was feeling lost, the voice suddenly rang out. The voice came from all directions and was completely different from the voice of the gate and the voice of the demonic path that Chen Zhou had heard before. This was another voice, which was more majestic and more attractive.

It was only after hearing this sound that Chen Zhou slowly lifted his foot and walked towards it. Although Chen Zhou didn't know where the sound was, he just walked forward in a daze.

With each step Chen Zhou took, the shadow on his body would dissipate a little, and with each step, the shadow would disappear. This repeated until Chen Zhou reached a beam of light, at which point all the shadow on his body vanished, but it didn't completely leave. It continued to follow Chen Zhou.

"Light is what you seek, but you can never touch it! Forever, forever..."

The authoritative voice rang out again, and Chen Zhou's body trembled, filled with power.

At this moment, Chen Zhou was no longer the same Chen Zhou as before. Chen Zhou felt that his body was filled with a murderous aura, and the black shadow was slowly entering Chen Zhou's body. Chen Zhou could feel the power of the black shadow.

The power of this shadowy figure is different from the power of true qi, and Chen Zhou cannot use it because the power of the shadowy figure is completely designed to enter his body and modify it. The wounds that Chen Zhou had previously inflicted on his own cultivation have now been completely healed under the repair of the shadowy figure's power.

Then the dark shadow entered his heart, permeated his internal organs, and finally filled his eyes.

Chen Zhou was powerless to resist, and just like that, Chen Zhou seemed to embrace the darkness.

Embrace the darkness.

It was a very lonely thing, but Chen Zhou could no longer feel that loneliness; he couldn't even feel any emotion.

And so, peacefully, they plunged into what is known as darkness.

"That was just an illusion, this kid didn't take it seriously, did he..." The gentle voice from the demonic path continued.

"Seeing different people's obsessions every day, staying here doesn't seem so boring after all..."

Chen Zhou's body was no longer shrouded in darkness as before, because the shadows had entered his body, and only then did Chen Zhou slowly regain consciousness. For a moment, Chen Zhou felt as if he had fallen into an ancient ice cave, extremely cold, and he even thought he would never return. In the end, it was the shadows that saved him.

Chen Zhou always remembered that when he fell into the ice cave, a pitch-black arm reached out to him. Chen Zhou grabbed the black arm and slowly escaped from the ice cave.

"He has actually fallen into the demonic path..." The gentle voice, so different from the surroundings, echoed once more from within the demonic path. This was the second person to fall into the demonic path today. Falling into the demonic path meant that he could continue to live, but it did not mean that he could gain real power to escape from here.

This is just the beginning. There's still a lot for this kid to do if he wants to leave this place.

"Now I feel like I'm not far from that light..." Chen Zhou had fully regained consciousness. It was as if nothing had happened. Chen Zhou stared quietly at the light in front of him and slowly spoke.

The biggest change in Chen Zhou was his eyes. Chen Zhou's eyes were not originally pure black, but now they had become pure black. Anyone who saw these pure black eyes would be afraid and back away. It was a symbol of loneliness, but also a symbol of power.

"You can go in now," the gentle voice continued to remind Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou nodded, and then strode towards the light.
