Chapter 342 - The Power Of Light
Since the beginning, light and darkness have always been two eternal enemies and did not co-exist.
Their affinities and properties caused them to restraint one another. When one side was strong enough, it would devour the other.
As such, as a dark element user, the moment the Shadowless Ruler's Will saw Ling Chen's second battle body, instinctive fear and hostility rose within his heart.
Not to mention Ling Chen's holy power seemed to the purest and most terrifying light power he has ever seen in his thousands of years of life.
His whole being was peerlessly holy as if nothing dirty could touch him; all evils would instantly run at his sight.
Ling Chen's holy energy was so powerful and pure that it looked like it came from the source itself. As such, he felt a great danger from him.
If it was his main body, he wouldn't have been afraid of him despite the purity of his light power. He could have easily killed him without even lifting a finger, but this projection didn't even have one-tenth of his true power.
Looking at Ling Chen standing high above the sky like the holy lord representing the light and hope, the expression Shadowless Ruler's Will darkened. It was truly the nemesis of people like him.
Boom!
Suddenly, a dark and apocalyptic pitch-black aura erupted forth from his body and spread throughout the sky.
This apocalyptic pitch-black aura was like that of an ocean in the air emitted from his body. It completely shrouded the skies as it spread out, nearly covering the entire sky.
It was unknown just how many kilometers it covered, one could not see the end of it. It was as if this world had entered into the apocalypse.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the next second, the apocalyptic pitch-black energy started to split apart before transforming into ten monsters. Each one could devour the world.
However, they weren't truly living creatures but rather ten monsters' shadows. Nonetheless, each one of these monsters' shadows was radiating a powerful and terrifying aura as though they were the real deal.
One of them seemed to be the shadow of a giant snake, one was the shadow of a giant elephant and another one was a giant one-horned wolf, etc. Each one of these creatures was not inferior to a peak 3rd Life Transition being.
"Rumble!"
The moment these shadow monsters appeared, they all pounced towards Ling Chen as though they were trying to devour him whole with their mouths wide open.
"These cheap tricks won't work on me." Ling Chen coldly uttered before forming numerous hand seals.
"Clank!"
Shortly, an ocean of swords emerged behind him and issued their hymns. Millions of swords pulsed with a golden light. Their vibration made space and time tremble as well.
In the next second, they flew forward with an unreasonable speed towards the ten shadow monsters. It was like a harrowing ocean smashing into an army.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At this moment, the shadow monsters didn't have the chance to scream before their bodies became riddled with holes like a sieve and disintegrated into nothingness.
It's usually hard to kill shadow monsters as normal and physical weapons didn't work on them. However, Ling Chen's swords were made of pure light energy, their natural and deadly nemesis.
Meanwhile, the ocean of golden swords didn't stop either and continued heading for the Shadowless Ruler's Will while destroying everything in its path. Distance and time didn't matter due to their incredible speed.
Looking at this scene, the expression on the Shadowless Ruler's Will's face became even uglier.
Even a peak 3rd Life Transition light user would have a hard time taking care of his shadow monsters, yet Ling Chen who was only a mid-stage 2nd Life Transition being was able to easily kill them.
This could only attribute to one thing, his holy power. Ling Chen's holy power was so pure and terrifying that it was able to easily cleanse and destroy his shadow monster despite their differences in power.
"Rumble!"
As the ocean of golden swords was closing in on the Shadowless Ruler's Will, he suddenly waved his hand and a translucent wall appeared in front of him which stopped the ocean of golden swords, resulting in a deafening blast that made the heaven tremble.
Even the spatial fabrics of this area couldn't handle the explosion and started cracking. It felt as though the place could crumble at any moment.
Swoosh!
Meanwhile, Ling Chen didn't just stand there as he attacked the Shadowless Ruler's Will. He turned into a golden beam and soared forward like a shuttle piercing through the void.
He didn't use any technique. He only whirled his golden spear before thrusting it straight at the Shadowless Ruler's Will.
This move seemed to be without thought but still contained a mighty force.
"Boom!"
Under Ling Chen's golden spear, the translucent defensive barrier erected by the Shadowless Ruler's Will instantly crumbled as a result of the thrust.
"Bang!" Facing Ling Chen's deadly attack, the Shadowless Ruler's Will didn't retreat. He instead stomped one of his feet forward, causing the sky to shake as he got into his battle stance with a dark spear in his right hand.
Just like Ling Chen's golden spear, the Shadowless Ruler's Will dark spear was also made of pure dark energy.
"Boom!" The void broke apart as the Shadowless Ruler's Will blocked Ling Chen's attack with his dark spear, creating an extremely spectacular scene.
"Die!"Ling Chen roared as he attacked the Shadowless Ruler's Will with his golden spear again.
Meanwhile, the Shadowless Ruler's Will responded with a swing of his spear, causing the sky to shake.
The movement of his spear also allowed him to easily shift his body since they were one, thus effortlessly evading the incoming venomous spear attack from Ling Chen.
In a minute, the two of them exchanged many blows, creating a colorful and exquisite battle. Back and forth, blow by blow.
However, as the battle continued to rage on, the Shadowless Ruler's Will was getting at a disadvantage.
With every exchange of blows, his dark energy was being cleansed by Ling Chen's golden spear as well as the light energy emitted from his body. As such, with every passing second, he was getting weaker and weaker.
Seeing this, the Shadowless Ruler's Will didn't dare to drag the battle on as he decided to go all out and used his true killing technique
"Boom!" In the next second, his entire body suddenly blew up into an endless dark mist before forming a giant dark ball of energy like a giant egg and trapped Ling Chen within.
It was as if he was trying to swallow Ling Chen whole with his dark energy. Unfortunately, he underestimated Ling Chen's holy power and tenacity.
"Rumble!" In the next second came a series of loud explosions that made the world tremble from within the dark ball of energy where Ling Chen was trapped.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosion became louder and louder. At the same time, numerous cracks and fissures could be seen in the outer layer of the dark ball energy with light power oozing out of them.
"Pop!" Finally, a powerful force blast a hole in the giant ball of dark energy following by a golden pillar that shot into the sky.
Boom!
Like a domino effect, numerous giant holes appeared on the dark ball of energy before it completely collapsed like a broken mirror.
At the same time, a majestic light exuded from within, akin to the opening of a world of light. It had materialized enough to take on the form of flowing mercury.
And inside the majestic light was Ling Chen. He stood there high above the sky while his body was radiating a dazzling golden radiance which illuminated the entire area like the rise of dawn reaching every corner.
Not too from him was a little dark ball of flame that looked like it could disappear at any moment. Due to the dazzling golden light emanating from Ling Chen's body, the little dark ball of flame was trying to get as far away from him.
"Don't even think about it." Ling Chen's coldly uttered as he suddenly disappeared from his previous position and appeared right in front of the little black ball of flame.
At the same time, he created a small cage with holy power and trapped the small black of flame within.
No matter how hard the small ball of black flame tried, it could not break away from the small cage, instead, it got weaker and weaker every time it slammed into the cage.
"It's finally over." Ling Chen mumbled to himself with a sigh of relief as his lips curved upward into a slight smile.
