The entire armor slowly turned greyish black.
It stood in the middle of the ocean like a lifeless giant metal monster.
Only a voice could be heard from the armor:
"Interesting, interesting, interesting!"
"Hahaha, whenever I feel bored, you'll always bring me new joy, making me reluctant to completely destroy all living beings and all worlds …"
"I really want to kill you, the more I want to!"
The huge black armor trembled.
Huge whirlpools like tornadoes suddenly appeared and spread out in all directions.
"Let me think about it"
"One finger might not be enough, your control over the seal is quite exquisite, you've already roughly grasped the power of one of my fingers"
"Then …"
"Five fingers"
Every single scale on the giant armor began to tremble.
A few moments later.
These scales slowly turned into strangely shaped living creatures that laid on top of the armor and continuously attacked it.
Every time they attacked the armor, a turbid ripple would appear in the ocean, turning transparent before disappearing.
The entire sealed world began to collapse.
…
On the other side.
The real world.
Liu Ping was currently facing off against the four-headed monster.
Suddenly.
The void of space shifted.
Two figures silently appeared.
Yan Ming and the Prophet!
The two of them used some unknown method to directly pass through the sealed world.
That wasn't all.
They were able to enter the [Void World Battle Arena] directly!
Liu Ping's eyes twitched, about to say something, he saw the two of them chanting an obscure incantation.
At the very next moment.
Two streaks of light descended from the sky, entering Yan Ming and the Prophet's bodies.
Yan Ming turned into a man.
The Prophet was still a woman, but her appearance was completely different, exuding a dignified aura.
A man and a woman.
The two of them were so familiar that Liu Ping immediately recognized them as soon as they appeared.
The man gave him a [ A Parade of Day and Night] card.
The woman gave him the [Void World Battle Arena] card.
From the attributes of the cards, the man should be able to control the power of time, while the woman should be able to control the Law of Mysteries.
"Those are your avatars?" Liu Ping asked.
"Yes, in order to fool others, we could only use our avatars to appear by your side, until this moment." the man answered.
"This moment?" Liu Ping was confused.
"This is something that you have discussed with us. Back then, you set up this trap and lured that fellow into the sealed world to search for that set of armor. Now, it seems like you have succeeded." the man said.
The woman looked at the monster in front of her and said: "But outside of our plan, such an unexpected situation occurred."
Liu Ping looked across.
The monster with four heads was frozen in place, not moving at all.
"The moment of destruction is about to arrive. Fortunately, you made the time flow differently between the two worlds, so we still have a bit of time left." the man said.
"You froze it?" Liu Ping asked.
"It's only an Occultism clone, so I was barely able to use the Law of Time to stop it." the man replied.
"What next?" Liu Ping asked.
"We can only hide in the dark. The one who has to make the decision is you." the woman said.
"Me?" Liu Ping was confused.
"That's right. Everything here was set up by you. Furthermore, it has already achieved its intended effect. Right now, the only exception is this strange clone."
The man pointed at the monster.
Liu Ping slowly understood and hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute, what about this world?"
"Just as you thought, the past you and the present you have the exact same thoughts." the man replied.
"If destruction can't be stopped, then we'll give the world to the other party to be destroyed, but we'll take away all the living beings inside." The woman smiled.
The man opened his hand. Four different colored lights appeared on his palm.
"Look, the powers of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind have awakened. Combined with my power of Time and her power of Mystery, we can hide all living beings." the man said.
"Hide them where?" Liu Ping asked.
"Eternal Night! All living beings will sleep within the Eternal Night, until the day you awaken them. "the woman replied.
The three of them suddenly noticed that the monster in front of them had moved.
"We can't seal it anymore." the man said.
A hint of worry flashed through the woman's eyes as she quickly asked, "Do you want to use the Void Arena to convert it into Mystery power, or do you want to use the Warden Knight battle mode to convert it into your Card?"
Liu Ping thought for a bit and shook his head: "We can't, it's an entity that we can't understand at all, if it becomes my Card, it might backfire on myself."
"Then let it be completely absorbed by the arena. I have a way to cut off the connection between it and its main body," the woman said.
"That's letting it off too easily," Liu Ping said.
"Do you have any other ideas?" the woman asked.
"I want to absorb its power," Liu Ping replied.
The woman quickly reacted and asked, "The Divine Knight?"
She and the man both looked at Liu Ping with strange expressions.
He didn't even let go of a single Occultism clone of the enemy and even wanted to absorb its power before killing it.
Is this where he's truly powerful?
Liu Ping explained: "If we don't know what its power is, then we can only stall for time. Only by knowing the source of its power will we truly have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
"But this is very dangerous, you might lose yourself and turn into an Occultism monster" the man reminded him.
"That's right, there are already too many examples of this, there's no need for you to take the risk," the woman said.
"This time, I already have a lot of guesses, maybe I won't lose my consciousness to the Occultism and turn into a monster." Liu Ping said.
"Are you confident?" the man asked.
"30%, I have to give it a try. I have a feeling that this is the only chance we have to understand that monster, if we miss it, we won't be able to do it again." Liu Ping replied.
His figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood.
A blinding golden light instantly manifested into a world. In that world, on top of an endless tower, countless existences were swinging their Blades at the same time.
Slash!
Lawless Heaven and Earth, Secret Slash Third Style!
The monster was sealed in place by the Law of Time, taking Liu Ping's most powerful slash head-on.
Its body was instantly sliced into 7-8 pieces, but it didn't die right away.
Liu Ping put his Blade away and a holy glow appeared in his hands.
[Life Saving Art]!
As the holy glow shone on the monster's body, the severed parts of its body reconnected and quickly healed.
"Is that enough?" the woman asked.
Liu Ping looked at the void of space in front of him, only to see lines of burning text appearing one after another:
[You've unleashed [Life Saving Art]
[You've absorbed the corresponding power from the other party]
[Attention, the power absorbed this time cannot be converted into Soul Points]
[Warning!]
[The power absorbed this time is the unknown power of Occultism]
[You've absorbed the unknown power of Occultism, the Law condensed from 'Emergence' has scattered from your body and is about to be rearranged]
[As the world is about to be destroyed, this Sequence will delay this absorption for you for a total of 20 seconds]
[Please take care of everything immediately!]
Liu Ping abruptly looked up and said, "In 20 seconds, I'll be able to feel that power."
The man put on a pair of gauntlets and threw a punch forward from afar.
Dong!
The entire world trembled.
The monster was instantly pulverized into a fine powder by the punch.
In an instant, the void arena space dispersed.
Liu Ping and the two of them returned to the real world.
The woman waved her hand and hugged a swaddle.
Inside the swaddle was a baby girl, it was Shui Shu, Hua Qingkong, and her spirit!
The woman handed the swaddle to Liu Ping and said: "The royal princess is the key to opening the real world, one day in the future, you'll need her."
The man also said: "She contains the supreme power of the Law of Fate, if you take her with you, perhaps the Law of Fate on her will help you"
"What about you? Where are you going? "Liu Ping asked.
The man drew the [A Parade of Day and Night] from the void of space, put it in Liu Ping's hand and said:
"We've won this round, I only hope that after you absorb that power, you'll be able to survive."
The woman said: "All living beings in this world will be settled by us in Eternal Night, until one day."
The man said: "You've found a way to defeat that monster."
"When that time comes …"
The two of them stared deeply at Liu Ping.
The woman softly spoke:
"The real world will become the kingdom of Eternal Night, the glory of humanity will once again be reborn."
As soon as she finished.
A line of burning text suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:
[The 20 second countdown has ended]
[The unknown power of Occultism will erupt from your body!]
[Please be prepared!]
