164: Chapter 164 I want you to cultivate the power of darkness, or I'll eat you up.

Dengdeng was summoned out, and its flames instantly shot up to three meters high, but it lasted only for a moment. Dengdeng transformed into human form and shouted joyfully, "Master, I seem to have caught the scent of my origin."

"I didn't lie to you, did I? Summon Zhushou and have it lead the way."

She had almost forgotten about Zhushou, the Chaos Beast. When summoned, Zhushou looked sleepy and bleary-eyed, "Master, are we eating?"

"Zhushou, can you see what is here?"

Zhushou opened its eyes, looking at the darkness before it, "Master, the turbid Qi is so thick; I don't like to eat it."

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it. If you eat some of the turbid Qi here, I will treat you to a seafood feast when we get out, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Feng Yange had just finished speaking when Zhushou suddenly leaped forward. In the dark night, its small, white body instantly glowed brightly. Accompanied by a low roar, the ground shook heavily. Zhushou opened its bloody mouth, and the black mist poured continuously into its mouth.

A moment later, Zhushou burped, lay on the ground, and its belly was round and bulging.

"Master, it tastes terrible, I'm stuffed."

Feng Yange looked at the still pitch-black sky, which had not improved at all. Feng Yange bent down to pick up Zhushou, but couldn't lift it at all.

The small bundle felt as heavy as a thousand catties.

"Master, don't waste your energy; let me digest it."

Zhushou burped a few times, and its round belly instantly shrank quite a bit. Feng Yange squatted beside Zhushou, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings, "Zhushou, how long will it take for you to absorb all the turbid Qi in this place?"

"Master, I can't finish it, I really can't finish it." Most importantly, it tasted awful.

Zhushou rolled over, making a loud noise, and the smell was a bit foul.

"Master, there are very dirty and smelly things here, and my origin has hidden itself." Dengdeng put its hands on its hips and suddenly opened its mouth. Cyan flames instantly ignited in the air, leaping two or three meters high, "Let me try to let my origin feel my presence."

Several people surrounded Feng Yange, watching Dengdeng and Zhushou. Cang Yan's eyes darkened, "Can flames suppress this place?"

"Yours is useless." Dengdeng glanced at Cang Yan, "The Vermilion Bird's Divine Fire is different from my exotic fire. Zhushou is a Chaos Beast; it can eat this turbid Qi, but who knows how long it will take to recover."

"It seems it's impossible to completely clear the things here. Can you find Long Ze and the others?"

Feng Yange had originally hoped to clear this place up, but now she gave up that idea.

"Master, we will try our best."

Dengdeng and Zhushou said in unison. Zhushou rolled over, "Master, we will come back to find you as soon as we find them. Wait for me."

"Wait..." Feng Yange watched them run until they were out of sight, "In this hellish place, running so fast... if not for the contract, I'd really be afraid of losing you."

Feng Yange muttered a couple of times, when suddenly her feet stepped into empty air. Feng Yange screamed, and behind her came the shouts of several people, "Mistress!"

But the voices quickly disappeared. Feng Yange fell for a long while before crashing heavily onto the ground. She cursed loudly in pain, "What kind of hellish place is this? There are pits everywhere..."

"Human, interesting!"

Hearing a voice, Feng Yange looked up and met a pair of scarlet eyes in the air. It let out a 'Jie Jie Jie' weird laugh, "Human, you smell so good..."

"Damn you!"

Feng Yange was furious and cursed, "You must be the culprit behind this hellish place, right? A perfectly fine place turned into this ghost of a mess, pitch black as night. If it weren't for you, would I have fallen here? If you know what's good for you, let me out immediately, otherwise I'm calling my Dad!"

That pair of huge Red Eyes was full of astonishment, and after hearing this, it laughed loudly.

"Do you think crying for your mom and dad here can save you? Don't dream!"

Feng Yange flopped down onto her knees, looked up, and wailed loudly, "Daddy Heavenly Dao, your precious darling daughter has been brought to this hellish place. It says it wants to eat me. Daddy Heavenly Dao, this monster wants to eat your precious daughter!"

Red Eye was shocked, astonished, and even looked upwards.

"Daddy Heavenly Dao, your daughter is suffering!"

"Daddy Heavenly Dao, has this hellish place isolated you? Why don't you come and strike this place open with Heavenly Lightning!"

Feng Yange cried and shouted for a good while. Red Eye sneered, "Human, you are truly ridiculous. Do you think that by shouting a couple of times, Heavenly Dao will really listen to you? If Heavenly Dao were your dad, I would be Heavenly Dao's dad..."

Before Red Eye could finish speaking, with a loud boom, a bolt of purple Heavenly Lightning descended. Lightning flashed within the endless Black Abyss, illuminating the pitch-black sky, and Red Eye let out a shrill, miserable scream.

Feng Yange hadn't expected it to actually work. She knew it—adopting Heavenly Dao as her father was a sure win, no losses.

"Red Eye, do you believe it now? My real father is Heavenly Dao!"

Feng Yange was very proud, stood up, and put her hands on her hips.

"Human, you are actually Heavenly Dao's own daughter? But how could Heavenly Dao have a daughter?"

"Who told you Heavenly Dao doesn't have a daughter? Did Heavenly Dao tell you that? I tell you you're stupid, and you don't even believe it." Feng Yange scolded, her eyes darting around, filled with schemes.

Red Eye didn't say anything.

"Red Eye, why don't you tell me why this place became like this? You don't want to stay here forever, right?"

Seeing Red Eye staring at her without speaking, Feng Yange lowered her voice and said, "How about this, you tell me how to save you, and I'll help you."

"You, a human, what ability could you possibly have to help me? Do you even know what I am?"

"What are you?" After Feng Yange asked, she saw Red Eye glaring at her angrily. Feng Yange waved her hand, "Fine, you're not a thing. Tell me what's going on? I really am willing to help you."

Red Eye was silent for a long while, "Are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course. Heavenly Dao is my real father, after all. Are we just going to stay here staring at each other? Besides, even if you could actually kill me, so what? If I die, can you find a second human like me who is willing to help you? Or are you saying you want to stay in this endless Black Abyss in eternal loneliness?"

She didn't believe it—this guy really just brought her down here to be its food.

With this pair of Red Eyes, how big must its true form be?

Her small frame wasn't even enough to get stuck between its teeth.

"This is the Endless Darkness, the gathering place of Darkness Power, and I am the Source of Darkness. You can also think of me as the origin of darkness. I don't even know how long I've been here. I only remember that Darkness Power flows in from all directions, and then is trapped here, gathering towards me, and I am trapped here, unable to leave."

"Then, can you transform?"

Feng Yange asked hurriedly. Red Eye didn't answer but instead asked Feng Yange, "Are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course, just tell me how I can help you."

"I want you to Cultivate the Darkness Power. Only in this way can you leave this place. But the Darkness Power is extremely tyrannical and has a very strong devouring force; if you are not careful, it will completely devour you." Red Eye said this and suddenly approached Feng Yange. Their eyes met, inches apart, "Are you still willing to help me?"
