"What the hell did you... do?!"
Black Shadow looked at Hua Zhen in the far distance, shocked and furious. He had clearly enveloped all those prey within his devouring energy, yet for some highly abnormal reason, he had failed to transform and absorb them. Not a single one.
With his keen perception, he could clearly "see" that the Lieyang Star people he had initially focused on were still alive and kicking.
He voiced the question in everyone's hearts. Even Ai Xi, who was glaring at Hua Zhen with a sour expression, pricked up her ears.

His current state was also far more complete than before. Although no changes could be seen on the surface, the internal improvement was astonishing.
With the slightest flicker of thought, he could peer into any corner of the Known Universe. Anything his eyes beheld—its governing laws, axioms, or its very essence—could be fully discerned.
