Chapter 18: Urban Superpower Dragon Aotian
However, Tang Lingnan's expression changed soon because she heard clearly what the newborn silly bird was saying. She carefully glanced at the Black Phoenix's expression. It was hard for her to imagine that she could see obvious stiffness on a bird's face. She could understand because the silly bird in front of her had just shouted at her:
Mom, I'm hungry, food!
Tang Lingnan silently turned the egg in another direction and said, "Baby, your real mother is on the other side. Please love me and stop framing me."
Silly Bird was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his mother ignored him. He stretched out his slender neck and turned in another direction, still opening his mouth wide and shouting at Tang Lingnan:
Jiji! (Mom, food, I’m hungry)
The Black Phoenix clenched its claws, muttering to itself, "This is my own child, my own child, fresh out of the shell, I can't hit him..." She pecked off a wing feather with her beak and handed it to Tang Lingnan, then casually changed the subject: "Human, if you encounter danger, input your supernatural powers into it and I will come rushing over. However, I can't always be by your side to protect you, so think carefully."
Tang Lingnan was also a little embarrassed. As a young girl, she really didn't want to have a child without any pain, especially when this child was still a bird. But after hearing what Black Phoenix said, Tang Lingnan still didn't hesitate. "I've made up my mind. Besides," she winked playfully, "I'm not alone either."
Upon hearing this, Black Phoenix hesitated. She wavered inwardly, and finally reminded him, "You're talking about the person next to you. That person's ability, if I'm not mistaken, should be dark. Do you know how my original world was destroyed?"
Tang Lingnan frowned slightly. She had a premonition, but she didn't give up. "Just because of a special ability..."
"It's more than just a superpower," Black Phoenix sighed. "All realms in the world, when examined in their fundamental principles, are but one and the same. The same is true of superpowers. Even when developed to their extremes, they cannot escape the laws of the great Dao. There are those who are favored by heaven, whose superpowers are bestowed by divine will. If your superpower is so special, it must contain a trace of the true meaning of life. The superpower of that favored one will then possess the power of devouring."
"Devouring has always been one of the most terrifying powers. As long as it devours, it can evolve infinitely. The external carrier that the psychic devoured was fog."
"Unwilling to settle for a slow, methodical rise, he decided to build upon the entire world. How greedy and arrogant he was! He truly is a rare genius among humans. He succeeded, but he also failed."
"He died at the hands of humans and demonic beasts, but before his death, he completely unleashed his supernatural powers, causing the entire world to be buried with him. The demonic beasts were transformed into a species that knew no good or evil and only cared about eating raw food."
Tang Lingnan felt sad for the passing of countless creatures in the other world, but she also trusted her brother who grew up with her. She frowned and said with certainty: "He is my brother, I believe in him, and I would never do this." Such an act is simply treating all living beings in the world as straw dogs for the sake of power.
"Just because he won't do it now doesn't mean he won't do it in the future. Power is the most intoxicating poison in the world." Black Phoenix scorned Tang Lingnan's words.
Tang Lingnan was silent for a moment, and she pleaded, "Senior, please don't reveal this." This was undoubtedly the secret of the strange world. Just because she believed in her brother, it didn't mean others would believe it. It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Tang Lingnan couldn't imagine how her brother would deal with it if this matter was exposed. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the whole world would be his enemy.
Thinking of this, Tang Lingnan suddenly understood what the core of the task assigned to her by the system was. Why did she need to redeem Long Aotian? When the whole world betrayed me, why couldn't I betray the whole world?
She swallowed and made up her mind not to let Tang Chumo fall to that state. She looked directly into the Black Phoenix's scrutinizing gaze with a firm look, without dodging.
Dark Phoenix sighed, thinking of her daughter who had signed a soul contract, and finally took a step back and said, "In that case, how about we make a bet?"
…
No, no, none at all!
Tang Chumo suppressed his irritable mood and continued to expand his territory. The crows and shadows were his eyes, but even so, he could not touch a corner of his sister's clothes.
Damn beast!
The murderous intent continued to grow in his heart. In the void under the shadow, Tang Chumo opened his blood-red eyes. He had reached his limit and needed more and more strength.
At the intersection of reality and illusion, Tang Chumo's wandering gaze fell on the people gathered in the square. After looking for a long time, he finally changed his mind and looked away.
Chen Luo, who was still organizing order in the square, broke out in a cold sweat for some reason. He had a feeling that he had escaped a fatal crisis.
If we don't touch these people, then let's just leave this strange area.
Tang Chumo's gaze, as if with substance, broke through the endless illusion and pointed directly at the core of the strange domain. He licked the corner of his mouth and could feel that the core and the black fog surrounding it contained a power that made him salivate. He no longer hesitated and let the shadow climb on it.
The black fog was attacked from the same source and suddenly surged violently. Black air swirled out and entangled with the shadows, attempting to devour the other party to strengthen itself.
It's just a dying thing with no owner.
Tang Chumo was disdainful and furious. In a flash, the shadows turned into a flock of crows, pecking at the black fog densely. In a few breaths, the black fog was no match for the ferocity of the crows and retreated step by step, having to curl up in the core.
With this new power, the crows continued to multiply, moving further and further at a terrifying speed, endlessly occupying territory.
Suddenly, the spread of the shadows stopped. Tang Chumo raised his head, his eyes frantic. Finally, he found it!
The Black Phoenix landed gracefully on a large rock and slowly combed its feathers.
In the shadow of the big rock, ripples slowly spread, and Tang Chumo slowly stood up from it.
Black Phoenix was not surprised. She stopped and looked at Tang Chumo quietly.
"Where's my sister?"
Tang Chumo had a gloomy face. He had searched the area for dozens of miles in an instant, but could not find his sister at all. A bad suspicion slowly arose in his mind. He stared at the Black Phoenix with murderous eyes, who seemed to be indifferent.
The Black Phoenix shook its long tail feathers, raised its head proudly, and said in a congratulatory tone, "Your sister, that human, has already sacrificed her life for the birth of my son. This is a great honor for her as a human."
Tang Chumo was instantly furious. He laughed in anger and said, "Very good, very good! I will make you, a beast, be buried with my sister!"
Rage burned away his rationality. He no longer restrained his strength and devoured the core with all his might, determined to make this unfortunate beast pay the price!
The gray fog could no longer maintain its form. It let out a silent wail, scattered in all directions, and disappeared from the world. The core that was protected within was exposed, and the crows pecked at it mercilessly and quickly, assimilating it. The oval ball of light shrank visibly with the naked eye.
The entire strange domain was shaking again.
"What's going on here?"
Mo Bin lay on the ground, horrified by the fact that this earthquake was even more terrifying than the previous ones. The earth was cracking and the sky was about to collapse. This was not a metaphor; the sky was really about to fall!
Fortunately, for some reason, the place where everyone was was still intact, and the huge crack in the distance seemed to have consciousness and passed over this place.
Chen Luo struggled to steady himself. He realized that this strange world was about to collapse. He made a prompt decision and shouted to gather all the space-related superpowers present, and at the same time asked those with passes to leave this world quickly.
Under his methodical arrangement, everyone was organized in an orderly manner. With the cooperation with the outside world, a space passage one person wide appeared, and the remaining people hurried in one by one.
Old Mo knocked out Mo Bin, who was shouting and refusing to leave, and carried him and Chen Luo into the passage one after the other. Chen Luo looked back worriedly, wondering what had happened in this mysterious area. Unfortunately, the big guys in Jiuzhou were also stuck and couldn't get here quickly. This was truly a troubled time.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, even this only intact piece of land was torn into pieces in an instant.
For some reason, the Black Phoenix just looked at him coldly, but Tang Chumo did not relax. His inner vigilance was raised to the highest level. He was suspended in the air, confronting the Black Phoenix.
The Black Phoenix cried out, and black flames appeared beside her. The extremely high temperature distorted the space as well.
Phoenix is the king of flames!
Tang Chumo made his body fade into the shadow. In the shadow space, the temperature change was meaningless.
A hint of mockery flashed in the Dark Phoenix's eyes. Her flames could burn everything.
The fire fell on the shadow, and in the blink of an eye, it used it as fuel and burned brightly.
Tang Chumo felt pain. He gathered thousands of shadows into one, transforming into a giant crow that was a hundred meters tall. He fought with the black phoenix. Flames fell on his crow feathers and ignited his body.
Tang Chumo was extremely ferocious. He ignored the flames burning on his body and slapped the black phoenix's body with his wings. The devouring power was transmitted from the tips of his feathers to the black phoenix's body, constantly eroding her strength.
She let out a long cry and used her larger body to crash into the crow. The crow fell on the cracked ground, creating a deep hole. The crows scattered in groups and turned into a hurricane-like flock of crows that enveloped the Black Phoenix.
Unable to bear the annoyance, the Black Phoenix spread her wings and flew up, transforming into a gigantic fireball. The crows were reduced to ashes in the flames, and the flames splashed everywhere, burning the sky and earth into a black void.
The crows gathered together to form Tang Chumo's figure. He spat out another mouthful of blood, his skin cracked and blood flowed out. The huge gap between their levels made it impossible for him to break the Black Phoenix's defense. His eyes flickered, and he had not yet completely devoured the core of the strange domain.
When he completely devoured the core, the entire strange domain space would instantly collapse, and the tearing force of the space might drag the entire Qingcheng into it. Based on Tang Chumo's previous test, he was sure that the Black Phoenix's power was not yet able to withstand the collapse of space without breaking. He was just hesitant about whether he should let the entire Qingcheng be buried with them.
Just before he finally made up his mind to die with the Black Phoenix, Tang Lingnan could no longer bear it. She ran out of the Black Phoenix space, spread her arms to block Tang Chumo, and cried out in tears:
"That's enough. Our bet is void. If you dare to step over me and attack my brother again, I will commit suicide! Your son won't survive either!"
She felt like her brain was filled with water. Why did she agree to this bet? She was a villain who took advantage of the other party's weakness. She admitted that she only realized now that people's hearts are biased. She couldn't sit still when she saw her brother injured like this. Now the Black Phoenix's precious son was in her hands. If she dared to touch her brother again, she would commit suicide immediately. She was as good as her word!
"Nannan..." Tang Chumo saw Tang Lingnan resurrected from the dead and appeared before him. He opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but shed tears. It was so good, his sister was still alive...
He couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
"elder brother!"
Tang Lingnan threw herself on her brother, held his hand, and desperately transferred her special powers into Tang Chumo's body. Her special powers had been tested long ago and had the ability to heal.
Looking at Tang Chumo's face which was still smiling even after he fainted, Tang Lingnan burst into tears.
Brother, don't scare me, please be okay.
