Chapter 346 Void-Devouring Beast, Void Devouring
Chapter 346 Void-Devouring Beast, Void Devouring
"His mind is clear and bright, just like the original owner in his prime."
A white-haired man appeared in the void, his eyes sparkling like stars, a cynical smile playing on his lips. He stood in the void, yet seemed to be one with it.
Zheng Qian stared at the white-haired man in disbelief and exclaimed, "Shi Kong?"
Indeed, this person is none other than the Void Devouring Beast, one of the two legendary beasts of the Thunder Devouring Domain. Zheng Qian had seen his appearance in the passage, but he never expected to see his true form here.
Could it be that Shi Kong is not dead yet?
"Little one, you don't need to guess. I have been dead for countless years. Now I am just a remnant soul, waiting for a destined person." Shi Kong's voice echoed in every part of the space, and his words contained the laws of space.
He was so strong that he couldn't comprehend it.
Shi Kong's gleaming eyes held a hint of reminiscence: "Tong Tong and I lived a carefree and happy life for ten thousand years, but we were unable to leave any offspring, which is our greatest regret. So Tong Tong and I have been waiting here for countless years, hoping to find a kindred spirit as loving as we are. Unexpectedly, we have met you two little ones."
Dianli trembled with excitement and asked urgently, "Senior, can the Thunder Clan's ancestor appear and see us? The Thunder Clan has fallen from its pedestal and become a second-tier race. We need the ancestor to return to the clan, regroup, and lead the Thunder Clan to its peak."
Shi Kong smiled casually and said calmly, "Little girl, the people of each era have their own missions. Tong Tong has been gone for countless years and can no longer lead you to grow. You are exceptionally talented and no less so than Tong Tong. As long as you are willing to work hard, the Lei Clan will surely become the most powerful race in the world."
Zheng Qian stared at Dianli in astonishment. He had witnessed the Thunder Clan Ancestor's combat prowess in the passage. Countless powerful figures followed behind the Divine Dome Master. The moment they clashed, the Thunder Clan Ancestor lightly waved his arm, and the sky transformed into lightning. Countless powerful figures were reduced to ashes in the lightning—an attack where words were law.
Such a powerful being must possess a talent that appears only once every ten thousand years. And the fact that Devouring Void's evaluation of Ionization was no lower than that of the Thunder Clan's ancestor is truly terrifying.
“You don’t need to underestimate yourself, kid. Your talent…” Shi Kong’s eyes sparkled, then he chuckled.
"I only intended to give the little girl this opportunity today, but I didn't expect you to be so interesting. I'll play with you and give it to you before the Devouring Beast descendant is gone."
Zheng Qian looked at Shi Kong in confusion, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior, I am just an ordinary human. I don't know what you find interesting about me? Please give me some hints, I would be very grateful!"
"Haha, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. I never thought that after being dead for so many years, I could still participate in the game at such a crucial moment. Interesting, very interesting." Shi Kong laughed, his white hair moving without wind, and the entire space trembled in response.
Zheng Qian frowned, many questions swirling in his mind, questions he had yet to answer. For instance, why was the mysterious Pan Jiu following him instead of some other powerful being? Now, Shi Kong said he was interested in participating in a game—what kind of game was it?
Zheng Qian felt that his growth trajectory was being controlled by a giant hand. Although he was trying his best to grow, he could not escape the arrangement of fate.
As for the game Shi Kong talked about, with his current combat power, he probably wouldn't even be worthy of being a blade of grass in the game, easily trampled to death.
"Kid, making guesses without real strength is just creating trouble for yourself. If you don't grow stronger, you won't even be qualified to participate in the game. And this game is very fun, so I advise you to speed up your growth, otherwise you'll only be scraps in the game, at the mercy of others." Shi Kong looked at Zheng Qian, as if he could see Zheng Qian's future, and the playful meaning at the corner of his mouth became even more obvious.
Zheng Qian's mood instantly became very heavy. He felt that he had no secrets in front of Shi Kong, and that Shi Kong could see through all his thoughts at a glance.
Ion sensed a sense of loneliness emanating from Zheng Qian, and instinctively took his hand, showing him through her actions that she was willing to stand by him.
Shi Kong looked at Dian Li with a meaningful smile. It wasn't surprising that Dian Li had feelings for Zheng Qian. The mysterious power in the Chaos Thunder Pool was actually a fragment of the inheritance of Tong Tong, the ancestor of the Thunder Clan, and within that fragment lay feelings for the Shi Kong Beast. Subconsciously, Dian Li developed feelings for Zheng Qian, who had comprehended spatial vibrations, after absorbing the inheritance fragment.
As Shi Kong stretched out his right hand, the Divine Dome rapidly shrank and flew into his hand.
"Back then, Heileng led the Divine Court generals to besiege my wife and me. That battle lasted eighty years and eventually shattered the continent. My wife and I both perished. Heileng didn't fare much better. His Divine Court was destroyed by us, and he was also killed by our combined forces. In the end, almost all the participants in the battle died."
Shi Kong continued speaking to himself, staring at the Divine Dome, "I sealed the remnant soul of Hei Leng within the Divine Dome, where it has been tormented for countless years. I want to show him that if he offends me, he will find it difficult to die."
Zheng Qian saw two dazzling pearls floating atop the Divine Dome: one was the "Purple Heaven Thunder Pearl," formed from the life's cultivation of the Thunder Clan's ancestor, its flowing lightning like a thousand dragons galloping, each strike capable of causing changes in heaven and earth. The other was the "Primordial Void Pearl," condensed from the soul and power of the Void Devouring Beast, its inner void vortex ever-evolving, seemingly capable of devouring all things in the world, even time and space. These two pearls were the key to suppressing the Divine Dome and maintaining the order of this world.
With a gentle flick of his fingers, Devourer of the Void shattered and merged into the void, revealing a look of relief on his face.
"For countless years, I heard his howling all the time. Suddenly I couldn't hear it anymore, and my ears finally had some peace."
Zheng Qian felt a chill run down his spine. These big shots were indeed extraordinary. He hadn't expected that they would not only win that battle, but also imprison and torture the beings on the Divine Dome for countless years before finally killing them.
He didn't know how strong the Black Ridge mentioned by Devouring Void was, but anyone who dared to lead the Divine Court's warriors to besiege the Thunder Clan's ancestor and the Devouring Void Beast was definitely a legendary being, perhaps even a god. And yet, this being was so silently crushed by Devouring Void. This could only mean that Devouring Void was even stronger.
Devouring Void crushed the Divine Dome as if it were a trivial matter. He looked at Zheng Qian and Dianli with admiration in his eyes.
"Tongtong is very pleased that you two little ones have become our successors. Although you are not a Void Devouring Beast, I will still give you a great opportunity. I hope you have fun in the game."
Ionization: "Thank you, senior! Thank you, ancestor!"
Zheng Qian bowed and said, "Thank you, senior. My name is Zheng Qian!"
Zheng Qian wanted to tell Shi Kong that he had a name, and that he was not a little guy or a boy.
"Haha, interesting." Shi Kong laughed and continued, "A name is just a code, but I'll remember you."
Shi Kong flicked his finger at the two of them, and the Purple Lightning Pearl flew into Dian Li's brow with a whoosh.
The ethereal pearl also flew into Zheng Qian's dantian.
