Chapter 1050 - 941: Deliberate Provocation
"Do you know what that is?"Just then, Wu Xiuqing whispered to Duan Gujin.
"That black orb is likely Eternal Darkness, a type of Dark Weapon. It can devour, absorb, and refine all energy, using the absorbed energy to strengthen itself."
Duan Gujin replied.
"Oh my God! That's too powerful. Doesn't it have any weaknesses?"
Wu Xiuqing gasped and asked.
"Yes, it needs to devour, absorb, and refine external energy to convert it into its own. If you engage it in close combat, it can't absorb external energy. Fight it up close!"
Duan Gujin said.
"So I shouldn't release my Divine Weapon?"
Wu Xiuqing asked.
"No, your Divine Weapon would only make it stronger! That black orb seems to be called Eternal Darkness. I'm not sure if it truly is Eternal Darkness!"
Duan Gujin said.
"I can't believe there's such a magical Dark Weapon in this world!"
Wu Xiuqing exclaimed.
"Yes, it's said that Eternal Darkness's greatest weakness is that it belongs to the magic attack type treasure. To fight it, you need pure physical strength!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Should we rush up and engage it in close combat?"
Wu Xiuqing asked.
"Definitely! We can use the Dark Weapon to deal with it!"
Duan Gujin immediately retrieved the Golden Body Treasure Sword from his storage ring and charged into the air towards the Sealing Platform.
A powerful fireball shot out from Eternal Darkness, rushing at Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin swiftly dodged to the side, avoiding the fireball.
He furrowed his brow, eager to know who was controlling Eternal Darkness.
He speculated that it might be Exotic Realm Creatures that were previously sealed here manipulating Eternal Darkness, but he quickly dismissed this thought.
"I'll rush up and see who's really controlling it!"
Without overthinking, he continued charging towards the Sealing Platform.
Although many fireballs continued shooting at him from above, he dodged them all.
Duan Gujin realized the fireballs' attacking speed was too slow and felt that the one controlling Eternal Darkness couldn't fully master it.
As for the truth, he didn't dwell on it.
He knew that to discover the truth, he had to reach the Sealing Platform and see who was controlling Eternal Darkness.
After a while, he saw a pitch-black giant python beside Eternal Darkness.
"Is it from the Devil Clan, Demon Clan, or Exotic Realm Creatures?"
Duan Gujin became tense, locking his Divine Sense onto the python above.
He saw the python directing fireballs towards him, but he dodged them in time.
"It seems the giant python hasn't completely mastered Eternal Darkness!"
His eyes flashed as he considered this possibility.
For him, now was the best time to counterattack.
He knew he couldn't use spells to attack Eternal Darkness. If he did, it would absorb his spell energy and counterattack.
He realized that close combat was the best way to deal with the python.
"Demon above, I am an expert from the Divine World. I advise you to surrender!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he shouted at the giant python above.
The python looked over and let out a low, deep sound: "Do you think you qualify as a Divine World expert? You're only at the Martial Saint Realm. How dare you claim to be an expert from the Divine World? You're just a fraud!"
Duan Gujin laughed loudly: "If you say I'm a fraud, then bite me!"
"Do you think I don't dare bite you?"
The giant python's eyes widened, exuding a murderous aura.
"If you have the guts, come bite me! If not, surrender!" Duan Gujin said calmly.
"You will pay for this!"
The python, enraged, flared its aura instantly.
It channeled Primordial Power into the Eternal Darkness.
It was a member of the Devil Clan, who made a deal with a magical spirit body sealed here, responsible for destroying the sealing platform.
During the long period, it learned to control Eternal Darkness.
But few martial artists entered here, so it couldn't use Eternal Darkness to devour, absorb, and refine the energy released by martial artists, preventing it from restoring itself.
Occasionally, some adventurers stumbled in, only to be consumed and refined by Eternal Darkness. However, Eternal Darkness needed much more energy to function fully.
It only took the risk after sensing a strong surge of Array Power nearby.
Unexpectedly, Eternal Darkness seized this opportunity to devour, absorb, and refine the energy Wu Xiuqing released to strengthen the Sealing Platform.
Wu Xiuqing didn't realize she unintentionally only sealed the platform, and the energy meant to strengthen it was absorbed by Eternal Darkness.
Fortunately, Eternal Darkness was severely damaged internally, and lacking the python's repair knowledge, its power wasn't fully unleashed.
The python was furious when Eternal Darkness failed to eliminate Duan Gujin.
It wasn't to be taken lightly, harboring intense hatred for Duan Gujin, pondering ways to defeat its enemy.
Duan Gujin evaded all its fireball attacks, leaving it helpless.
Limited in knowledge about Eternal Darkness, the python knew fireball attacks were its strongest skill.
All its fireball attacks had been dodged, causing it to hesitate.
Duan Gujin knew Eternal Darkness's weakness—it could devour, absorb, and refine spell attacks but was ineffective against physical attacks.
Locking his Divine Sense on the python, his eyes flashed as he retrieved several Flying Knives from his storage ring.
Infusing Primordial Power into the knives, a plan formed in his mind.
The python willed Eternal Darkness to shrink.
Maintaining its large state consumed much Demonic Power, which it couldn't sustain for long.
If Eternal Darkness was weaponized by others, its power would greatly diminish.
And seeing the python struggling to control Eternal Darkness, Duan Gujin guessed its full potential couldn't be realized.
