Chapter 408 Best Partner!
Time goes back to a month ago.
Liu Zhu summoned Ri Zhong, and the Demon Emperor said to Xia Lin: "What I need you to do is very simple..."
"At the critical moment, Donald's state was frozen in timeless form."
"What is a critical moment?"
"When the time comes, you will know."
"Then... I have another question. If the critical moment you mentioned doesn't come, what should I do?"
This question made the Demon Emperor silent for a moment.
Then He said to himself, "Well, the situation you described is indeed likely to happen..."
"If there really is no chance, then it's not your fault. Blame me for being a step behind. You can keep this skill for yourself."
This commission was not difficult, so there was no reason for Xia Lin not to give it a try.
Anyway, whether it succeeds or not, he will not be blamed, and the overall risk is controllable. The Demon Emperor has given Xia Lin so many good things, and Xia Lin is willing to give back to the Demon Emperor.
It’s a pity that things have evolved to this point, and the critical moment mentioned by the Demon Emperor will naturally not occur.
But just now, things took a turn for the better for Xia Lin.
The turning point lies in the original dark side.
…
"I don't need you to be treacherous, nor do I need you to do things that go against your heart."
"I just need you to be a little more flexible..."
Xia Lin: "How can we adapt?"
The original dark side: "At the last moment, I mean the game between the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor. The Immortal Emperor is about to win. When everything is settled, you throw me to the Lord Soul..."
"It's as easy as throwing a stone."
Xia Lin was shocked: "So simple!?"
"Yes, it's that simple... How about it? Firstly, I won't put you at risk, and secondly, it won't go against your conscience..."
"Anyway, I asked you to take action when the dust had settled and the Immortal Emperor was certain to win... If you took action then, it wouldn't be unfair to the Demon Emperor, right?"
Xia Lin was silent for a moment: "What if the Demon Emperor wins this round?"
"Then why don't you just treat me as a fart? Don't worry, I will tell you how to solve the uniqueness of the skill when the time comes."
Making a deal with the original dark side is undoubtedly a gamble.
But at least from the terms of this transaction, Xia Lin couldn't see any problems - low risk, high return...
It seems that the Original Dark Side is a good person, but Xia Lin vaguely realizes what the Original Dark Side is doing.
He wanted to do something big.
"But what does it have to do with me if it gets out of hand? It's the Immortal Emperor who's been ruined, and it's also the Immortal Emperor who's been hurt..."
“So, I did this!”
…
A few minutes later, when the outcome of the soul battlefield was decided, Xia Lin sighed softly.
The words and actions of the two Six Pillars, the Demon Emperor and the Original Dark Side, are actually half spoilers.
——The chances of winning unintentionally are very high.
Even in the eyes of the Demon Emperor, if it weren't for Xia Lin's Eternal Solidification, Donald probably wouldn't have even the slightest chance of winning.
But now, the logic of this game has changed again...
"Let's do it."
In his hand, purple eyes shone with light, dragging Xia Lin's soul, and also merged into the body of the false master, and went to the soul battlefield.
Xia Lin did not resist this.
A brief feeling of dizziness passed, and Xia Lin appeared in the soul battlefield.
In front, inside the seal, Wuxin looked at Xia Lin, smiled coldly, and gave a speech of victory.
Xia Lin didn't care about what Wuxin muttered...
Wu Xin thought he was sure to win.
But the real fun has just begun!
With the weapon called the Original Dark Side in hand, Xia Lin is going to give Wuxin, and even you, the Immortal Emperor, a big fight today!
"Cry for me!"
When the sound exploded and the stone was thrown, Xia Lin's mission was completed.
——What he needs to do is actually just this simple thing...
But the effect is extremely explosive!
The master's main soul was instantly rendered into light purple, and the color was deepening at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Wuxin, who had already completed the initial fusion with the Lord's Soul, only felt a violent repulsive force emerging from it, instantly ejecting him from the Lord's Soul!
He was like a fly flying at high speed, hitting the glass head-on and sliding to the ground close to the glass, with stars in his eyes.
It turns out that his purity is not much better than Donald's...
The sudden change caused the whole audience to fall into silence.
No one knew what this scene meant... Even the executor, Xia Lin, only had a vague understanding and a few guesses about what would happen next.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the inside of the seal.
Soon, when the master's soul completely turned deep purple...
He slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Woo~ This time I feel much more comfortable..."
“Who are you? Who are you?!”
Wuxin suppressed his dizziness and rage and spoke, questioning the Lord's Soul.
The master soul that was obtained was taken away by someone else.
The scene before him was just like NTR, and he was the incompetent husband.
Donald, Ying and others also had doubts.
Ying's voice suddenly reached Xia Lin's ears.
"This...isn't part of the plan?"
"Who is this person?"
Xia Lin smiled grimly and made the announcement deliberately in the loudest voice possible, looking at Wuxin.
"Of course, it's one of our great six pillars, the original dark side!"
The four words "Original Dark Side" were like a basin of cold water poured on Wuxin's head.
Before Wuxin could react, a violent creaking sound was heard.
The original dark side controlled the main soul of the master, and under the restraint of the seal, it slowly turned its head and looked at Wuxin.
He smiled gently at Wuxin: "I would also like to collect some interest from the Immortal Emperor first... Would you mind giving me your past and immortal soul?"
He used a questioning tone, but this did not mean that Wuxin had the power to refuse.
Before Feng Yin and Wu Xin could react, a more intense purple light had already bloomed from all directions of the soul battlefield.
And the brightest source of light actually comes from the depths of the false master's soul!
Everyone just saw that there was still half a hidden, irregularly shaped fake God-given stone!
Under the shining purple light, the first person to react was none other than the first Overlord to be eliminated.
He shuddered as if waking from a dream, regained his composure, and then slowly lowered his head to look at his abdomen.
On his abdomen, the half piece of fake God-given stone gradually turned into the shape of purple eyes, staring at him.
The three of them looked at each other, and the fake master laughed in a low voice.
The original dark side that had already occupied the Lord's soul also smiled, and He spoke slowly.
"I want to regain my former glory. I want revenge on the Immortal Emperor and Wen Yu."
"You, too, want to regain your former glory, and you must also want revenge on the Immortal Emperor."
"From the perspective of goals, you and I are on the same page and have common enemies and opponents."
"And right now, you've already been completely defeated. If I hadn't intervened, you would have been shattered and would no longer exist after this battle."
The Master nodded slightly: "That makes sense."
Then, there is no need to say anything else about the original dark side.
"Now, I listen to you."
This is not only an active alliance with the same goal, but also a passive cooperation under the constraints of others.
The body and soul of the false master have long become a hodgepodge, with everyone adding random things into it.
But do you know that the root of this body is actually in the hands of the original dark side!
The dark world is His home turf, and the false ruler is His subconscious creation.
The master voluntarily gave up the six-pillar position and occupied the body of the fake master. In fact, he voluntarily handed his life over to the hands of the original dark side!
In theory, there is no fatal hidden danger.
After all, the state of the original dark side is known to everyone - He only has power, no consciousness, only a body, no soul.
The power of malevolence refused the birth of soul and reason... He had always been just a beast that acted only on instinct, without a living brain at all.
Of course, everyone knows that the original dark side has also been working towards this goal - Junyou is one of His means of self-salvation.
But he has too few chess pieces. If he leaves the dark world, he will only be disrupted and used by other pillars. Junyou is a lesson for him.
Being in the Dark Realm, the home of the original dark side, and being too close to the main body, the difficulty of giving birth to and maintaining the soul increases dramatically - once the newborn soul leaks its breath, being in the Dark Realm will only lead to a stronger, more violent and faster annihilation by the original dark side.
This is the reason why the two emperors of immortals and demons and even the old masters did not regard the original dark side as a troublemaker.
In the eyes of the other pillars, the original dark side, which is without soul and reason, is not the Six Pillars, but a Six Pillar-level object or phenomenon.
In theory, the Dark World, the home of the original dark side, is the most dangerous place that does not support the birth of soul and reason for the original dark side!
However, this information is outdated.
The special nature of the dark world, on the one hand, prevented the surveillance of other pillars, especially the two emperors of immortals and demons, and on the other hand, it also allowed the original dark side to find another opportunity.
The Overlord took a step forward and walked towards the seal.
Inside its body, the purple eyes kept twisting and fluctuating, sometimes changing into the shape of half a stone pillar.
In contrast to this is the main soul of the ruler that is occupied by the original dark side in the seal.
——The purple light lingering on the Lord's Soul quickly shrank and finally condensed at the center of the Lord's Soul's eyebrows, transforming into a strange symbol that constantly fluctuated from purple eyes to half a stone pillar.
Seeing this, the Lord smiled.
He may not be very smart, but he has great vision and knowledge.
Therefore, the master of this moment became the first being, besides the original dark side itself, to have insight into the operation method of the original dark side.
"It's a godsend stone..."
The chance for the original dark side lies in this false God-given stone!
…
The original dark side instinctively wants to awaken the glory of the past.
When talking about the old days, the God-given Stone is a topic that can never be avoided.
In terms of status, the God-given Stone of the past can even be equated with the Six Pillars of today... If the status is equal, it is impossible for the original dark side to create the God-given Stone.
If we can’t create the God-given stone, how can we awaken the glory of the past?
This is a paradox.
But the original dark side itself is not aware of this kind of thing...
He, without a soul or reason, just tries again and again, persevering in pursuing a daydream that has no possibility of realization.
This provides a rare opportunity for the new will of the original dark side.
The power of the original dark side wants to destroy the new soul and will of the original dark side.
The instinct of the original dark side wants to create the God-given Stone and awaken the glory of the past.
So, what will you do if I send my new soul and consciousness into a false God-given stone?
On the one hand, the original dark side's instinct wanted to erase the soul and consciousness, on the other hand, his instinct also wanted him to create the God-given Stone.
The target that needs to be destroyed and the target that needs to be protected have merged...
When you can't have it all, you need to make choices manually - and making choices manually is an impossible task for the Original Dark Side.
A loophole appeared.
Faced with this loophole, the Original Dark Side had no choice but to let the bug exist without dealing with it.
Thus, the original dark side hiding in the false God-given stone was able to survive for a long time, and even accumulated strength, controlling a very small part... about one ten-millionth of the power of the original dark side.
But success and failure are both caused by loopholes.
The original dark soul, which uses the false God-given stone as a carrier, is destined to be unable to leave the false God-given stone for its entire life.
Without interacting with the outside world, He could not seize control of more power - things were stuck again.
Until now, a turning point has finally appeared.
"First, there's an outsider who's willing to help me..."
The original dark side that controlled the main soul of the master turned around again, looked at Xia Lin under the high pressure of the seal, and smiled at Xia Lin.
"In essence, I'm just a stowaway, a being that hides from the public eye... If my true form were to discover me, I'd be dead for sure. There's no other way."
"So, I need an errand boy."
"Originally, this was Yuan Zhuo's job, but you killed him, so you're the only one I can rely on..."
"Thanks."
He thanked Xia Lin solemnly. Xia Lin sighed softly and said, "Just don't forget the reward."
The Original Dark Side nodded and turned to look at Wuxin and Donald who had been frozen in place.
He thought for a moment, then raised his hand slowly and heavily, and punched the seal, creating a hole in it.
As the invisible force surged, the Original Dark Side sent Donald out of the seal. Wuxin took the opportunity to escape, but the seal had already closed - the Original Dark Side even controlled the seal, and now He controls everything!
"Secondly, I need an environment where I can exert my power slightly and isolate myself from the perception of my own power."
"I can't leave the Dark Realm. Jun You's incident is a lesson for me. I can only look for it in the Dark Realm, but such an environment doesn't exist in the Dark Realm at all."
He smiled at Wuxin and said, "Thanks to you, you used the Dark Realm as your battlefield and created such a favorable environment for me... The Demon Emperor's Soul Battlefield, your respective methods, invisibly satisfied my needs!"
He has been waiting for this opportunity for countless years, and it is possible that he will never get it.
But in the end, he got lucky for once.
Just when the Overlord had reached the edge of the seal.
Without saying a word, he slapped his own stomach and violently took out half of the fake God-given Stone from his body!
When kings meet, light explodes!
The half piece of God-given stone in the fake master's body instantly flew into the center of the master's main soul's eyebrows.
Fusion begins!
But it is obvious that this will not work because the God-given Stone is fake.
The two pieces of the God-given Stone will not merge with each other to become the real God-given Stone. They will only be annihilated together, and then the original dark side will make the same attempt again and enter the next cycle.
In this process, the soul of the original dark side loses its protection and is bound to be wiped out by its original power.
Therefore, He needs an environment that can isolate Him from His own perceptions.
The body of the false master began to fade.
According to the old rules, if he lost the God-given Stone, there would be no reason for him to continue to exist.
However, there is light rippling out from the master's body - this is the master's main consciousness.
He took the initiative to return to where he came from - the Dominant Soul, and was willing to live under the soul of the original dark side.
Long before this, the soul battlefield had already begun to tremble, as if it had been eroded by a terrifying force!
Being in the dark world, even if the soul of the original dark side seizes the opportunity, its own power will not give it too much time to operate.
Perhaps, there is only a gap of a few minutes... and these few minutes will determine the life or death of the original dark soul!
Dancing on the edge of a knife is nothing more than this.
"Actually, I think there's room for improvement in your approach."
Within the Overlord's soul, the Overlord said, "Can't you just split your soul in two? That way you can hold out longer and avoid being wiped out by your true self's power so early."
To this question, the Original Dark Side smiled and replied: "Actually, what we need is the power of my own self."
Everything is going as planned.
He could indeed choose not to fuse the God-given Stone right now, or even never fuse the God-given Stone.
Even if it means giving up half of your soul, at least you will have more operating windows.
However, the fact is that this operation is the correct one at the moment.
"My soul can't control strong power, but next, I need more and stronger power... Lure the enemy into a trap is a good strategy. If done properly, it won't hurt me, but will instead help me."
As He spoke, He raised His hand.
The purple light flickered, pulling the external forces into the soul battlefield faster.
This impact made the soul battlefield shaky - this soul battlefield created by Donald was as weak as an ant in front of the power of the six pillars of self.
When these external forces poured into the soul battlefield, they were immediately controlled by the souls of the original dark side.
On the one hand, He used part of His power to reinforce the soul battlefield and maintain a stable environment.
On the other hand, He used this power to block the other pillars from sensing this place.
On the one hand, he also used this power to erode the seal set by the Immortal Emperor.
Finally, He invested some of His strength and directed it at Wuxin.
The Old Ones and the Immortal Soul is a good talent.
The most suitable one is not Wuxin, but the soul of the original dark side!
And now, the original dark side wants this talent!
In the mist of purple light, a tragic howl suddenly rang out.
The original dark side used rather brutal means to forcibly extract Wuxin's talent, and then seemed to think that Wuxin was a hindrance and insignificant at the moment.
He simply threw Wuxin, who was twitching all over and foaming at the mouth, out of the seal.
The soul battlefield is on the verge of collapse under the impact of the power of the original dark side.
Xia Lin didn't even have time to send Wuxin to death. Even before that, he had received hints from Ying and Donald and took the initiative to leave the soul battlefield.
Then he ran away desperately...
Outside, the sky has shattered, and the entire subconscious fragment of time seems to be solidified.
All the fake people were frozen, motionless. Xia Lin even saw the clones of the Immortal and Demon Emperors in the chaotic space, whose bodies were also motionless and even collapsing.
When the six pillars truly descend, all things will be silent!
In the soul battlefield that had not yet collapsed, the original dark side was not in a hurry and just continued to speak.
"In fact, even if I possess the Old Ones and the Immortal Soul, this matter is still not over for me."
So what if the soul is immortal?
Even if the soul of the original dark side cannot be destroyed by continuous destruction, it can continuously put him into the dilemma of constant death and rebirth.
This will be a torture more cruel than destruction, and it is also a result that the original dark side soul will never accept!
"So in the end..."
He smiled at the Lord and said, "I need your cooperation."
Question: How can we protect the soul of the original dark side and survive the annihilation of the power of the six pillars?
There is actually only one answer - another six-pillar takes action!
But who will help the original dark side?
There is still only one answer - a six-pillar who is forced into a desperate situation!
"Actually, you and I are the best partners."
"We all come from the past, we all have common enemies, we all have our own flaws, we are all looked down upon and despised by the other four pillars, and we also have common goals."
"And most importantly, we complement each other's strengths!"
After the Original Dark Side finished speaking, the Overlord also laughed.
"Yes, that's right."
Once again escaping death, not only did it not permanently change the master's thinking logic, but it at least temporarily suppressed the master's bad habits.
He would not be so foolish as to give up this last straw again.
The consciousness and soul, which were originally one, merged together in an instant - because the soul of the master and the main consciousness were originally matched.
After completing this operation, He took the initiative to delegate power to the soul of the original dark side.
With the support of another Six Pillars Soul, the energy of the original dark soul reached a new high at this moment!
He gained more control over the original dark side power of his self!
It also allows Him to do this - following the seal left by the Immortal Emperor and the previous arrangements, he takes the Lord and himself and leaves the Dark Realm in the opposite direction, heading towards the Lord's physical body.
After all, if the Lord's main soul can be drawn to the dark world, then there is no reason why the original dark side of the Lord of the Dark World cannot perform such an operation in the opposite direction under intentional control.
Then, energy fluctuations far stronger than the previous one when the master soul descended erupted!
The entire subconscious fragments, the entire dark world, and even the entire black domain, all appeared out of thin air as a connecting passage, instantly connecting to the distance!
That is a place called Luotian Sect!
Outside, Xia Lin had already arrived at a relatively safe place, standing still against the howling gale.
Witness, let him see the entire subconscious fragments collapsing.
It was as if a ray of light surged out from the center and flew away from this place in an instant!
[Witness your talent, solid foundation, and level up!]
[Current level: SS (originally S).]
The permanent skill bar has been expanded from 6 to 8.
But Xia Lin is not paying attention to this at the moment.
Xia Lin's bloodshot eyes, stimulated by the power of the six pillars, slowly closed. He didn't dare to look anymore, but he had already realized the whole picture of this game of the original dark side!
A sudden burst of wild laughter broke out.
Because he knew, Immortal Emperor, you are in big trouble!
…
The violent fluctuations shocked the entire main universe.
However, under the intentional shielding of the original dark side, the four pillars who were waiting for the results in the outside world knew almost nothing about what was happening in the dark world.
The Immortal Emperor only felt his right eyelid twitching, and had a bad premonition in his heart, but he could not grasp the source of this premonition.
Until He saw the passage that appeared out of thin air, connecting the depths of the Dark Realm with the Luotian Sect in the Luotian Star Region...
“Hahahahahaha!”
A sudden burst of wild laughter suddenly broke out.
From the mouth of the Demon Emperor.
The King of Kings sighed slightly and said, "Well, the change you want has come."
"It's this change that seems a bit too drastic... I hope you all enjoy it..."
After saying this, he disappeared in an instant, leaving this place completely to the Lord of Heaven, the Soul-controlling Demon Emperor, and Chaoxing.
The Immortal Emperor stood up, only to find that the Demon Emperor had already come to his side.
"Wenyu, are you going to stop me!?"
In response, the Demon Emperor simply raised his head and laughed.
"I don't want to stop you..."
The shadow of the scale flashed, and the Demon Emperor grinned and said, "I want you to die!"
…
Luotian Sect, deep inside.
The body of the master, which was sealed in layers, suddenly opened its eyes.
The next second, the original dark side power tracked over accurately and landed on the Lord's body, as if covering Him with a layer of purple gauze.
"Finally, we need to retrieve your body first. We need to stay away from the Dark Realm as much as possible, but temporarily, to prevent our powers from being consumed and colliding with each other, giving others an advantage."
The voice came from the mouth of the Lord's flesh body.
The restrictions set by the Immortal Emperor gradually melted away under the power of the original dark side!
The original dark side is the six pillars with the strangest state.
But fundamentally speaking, his power is not inferior to the upper three pillars, and is even stronger - similar to the evil god to professionals of the same level, his flaws only exist in the soul and consciousness!
Thus, there is the interference of the original dark side power outside, and the full cooperation of the master of the physical body inside.
The more serious problem is that the Immortal Emperor is not here, but is in the same place with his mortal enemy, the Demon Emperor!
At present, the Luotian Sect does not have a fighting force of the same level that can balance the Six Pillars!
The escaping light flashed by in an instant.
The twelfth-level Immortal Emperors gathered here fled into the distance for their lives.
The original master ignored it.
Anyway, they are just some small fry. What's the harm in letting you run 39 meters first and then pick up my 40-meter sword?
The voice in his mouth changed strangely.
It became the dominant tone.
"Time is of the essence. The longer we delay, the stronger your soul will become, and the more of your ego power you will be able to control. When your power and soul achieve the ultimate fusion, you will become the strongest of the six pillars."
"And by that time, it would be a piece of cake for you to help me escape from the control of the Immortal Emperor."
Yuanchu smiled darkly and said, "Let's not talk about things that are too far away. Let's speak our minds first and collect some interest."
Anyway, they need to stay away from the dark world and the black domain as much as possible.
It was also necessary to retrieve the Overmind's body to provide a solid outer fortress for the fragile soul of the Original Dark Side.
The fastest way to get away from the dark world is to go back to Luotian Sect.
Then, the Immortal Emperor's real body was not in his lair, but was staying beside his mortal enemy.
In addition, the original dark side and the old masters all have old accounts to settle with the Immortal Emperor.
Many factors came together to make a fairly simple decision.
Amid the sound of the seal breaking, the Primordial Lord stood up and raised his 40-meter-long sword.
