Terrifying Black Hole Clone

Yan Ning waved his hand, directly pulling up his account balance—as a core member of the Virtual Universe Company and having fought for years in the Outer Domain Battlefield, his wealth had long accumulated to a terrifying figure.

Universe Mercenary Alliance filing complete!

Congratulations, master, you are now the legal owner of the Ashen Starfield!

A faint smile tugged at Yan Ning's lips.

"Good. Now—"

His gaze pierced the distant starry sky, as if crossing endless distances to stare directly at that chaotic starfield.

"Full speed ahead. Head for the center of the Ashen Starfield."

Three months later.

When the ship finally disengaged from the Dark Universe, the view outside the porthole suddenly darkened.

"We're here."

Yan Ning stood in the cockpit, his gaze penetrating the reinforced glass, staring at this starfield that belonged to him.

The core of the Ashen Starfield was even more desolate than he had imagined... and even more magnificent.

This was a sea of dead stars.

Countless shattered stellar remnants floated in the void, like glass beads crushed by an invisible giant hand, emitting a dim red glow.

Further away, a few dying stars clung to existence.

He arrived at the center of the Ashen Starfield, where a massive galaxy lay.

Then he reached the heart of that galaxy.

Yan Ning stood by the ship's porthole, gazing at the dead core of this star system.

"Right here."

He took a deep breath, sinking his consciousness into the system space.

"System, deploy the Black Hole Clone."

[Ding! Deploying.]

Yan Ning's eyes flickered.

"Let me see what kind of storm a true Black Hole Clone can stir up."

"Hmm..."

The entire starry sky suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The next second.

"Crack!"

The void shattered like fragile glass, and a pitch-black "point" materialized out of thin air.

At first, it was only the size of a needle tip, but within a ten-thousandth of a second—

It expanded! Devoured! Reigned supreme!

"BOOM!!!!"

A Black Hole Clone, fifty billion kilometers in diameter, descended with a crash at the heart of the Ashen Starfield!

The moment the black hole appeared, the orbital paths of every celestial body in the entire galaxy went into chaos!

"Rustle—"

Millions of kilometers away, a stellar remnant the size of the moon suddenly accelerated, hurtling madly toward the black hole as if yanked by an invisible hand!

Then came the second piece, the third...

Even more terrifying, the very light began to warp!

From Yan Ning's perspective, the starry sky around the black hole twisted like a painting wrung by a giant hand, all the stars turning into spiraling streams of light, plunging toward the endless darkness at the center.

The intelligent optical brain blared frantic warnings:

[Warning! Gravitational intensity exceeds detection limits!]

[Space curvature anomaly! Immediate evacuation to safe distance recommended!]

But Yan Ning burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! Good! What a Black Hole Clone!"

He could clearly feel a soul connection with this clone.

The vast, abyssal devouring force, the terrifying density that crushed everything—all of it obeyed his will like an extension of his own limbs.

With a wave of his hand, he stored the ship into his World Ring.

With a single thought from Yan Ning, the Black Hole Clone instantly released a Black Domain!

The innate secret art bloomed!

"Woom--"

A visible black ripple spread outward from the black hole as its center, instantly covering a range of ten trillion kilometers!

Within this range:

Time and space froze, solid as a steel plate.

All matter began to spontaneously disintegrate.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Three pirate ships lurking nearby were instantly exposed, struggling like insects caught in a spiderweb, but they could only watch helplessly as they were pulled toward the black hole!

"No! What the hell is this thing?!"

The pirates' screams came through psychic fluctuations, but Yan Ning merely watched coldly.

Their ships were torn apart by the gravitational force before even falling into the black hole—metal, flesh, soul... all crushed into the most basic energy particles, becoming nourishment for the Black Hole Clone.

This was merely the ordinary devouring ability inherent to the black hole itself.

The innate secret art had not yet been activated.

If it were activated, even a Universe Venerable would be unable to shake this Black Hole Clone!!

The only drawback might be the issue of movement.

Though it could move, its speed was far too slow.

This was unavoidable.

With such immense volume, movement speed was bound to decrease.

Of course, this minor flaw could be completely overlooked.

Yan Ning gazed at the vast, boundless black hole itself, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Since the main body moves slowly..."

"Then I'll split off a clone that can move freely!"

With a thought, at the core of the Black Hole Clone, a terrifying energy began to condense and compress!

"Crack--Crack--"

Space collapsed, gravity twisted, and the matter on the black hole's surface furiously caved inward, ultimately forming a high-density "Singularity Embryo" at the core!

"Condense!"

Yan Ning barked softly, and the Singularity Embryo suddenly contracted, turning into a pitch-black energy crystal, and then...

"Boom!"

The crystal exploded, and a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the black hole!

A million-kilometer-tall Black Hole Humanoid Divine Avatar!

That figure was pitch-black all over, as if forged from the deepest darkness of the universe, with silver patterns flowing across its surface, and its eyes like two miniature black holes, devouring all light.

With every step it took, the void trembled, as if unable to bear its terrifying mass.

Yan Ning's main body and the clone's consciousness were linked, and he instantly felt the power of this form.

Strength!

Pure, destructive strength!

Though this humanoid clone was only one ten-thousandth the volume of the main body, its density remained undiminished; with every gesture, space naturally submitted!

"Excellent..."

Yan Ning controlled the humanoid clone to raise its palm and gently clench it.

"Boom!"

Space within a million kilometers directly shattered, turning into countless fragments that were sucked into the palm and annihilated into pure energy!

"This is... the power of a black hole!"

He grinned, his gaze piercing through the endless starry sky, as if he could already see the future—Zerg Hive? Crushed! Mechanical Clan fortress? Devoured! Universe Venerable? Let's clash!

Such a massive Black Hole Clone, such high divine power density.

Understand that the higher the density, the higher the divine power density.

This clone of his was not like a body such as the Nine Nether Sea.

The Nine Nether Sea relied purely on quantity to win.

Its density was not high.

If this million-kilometer-tall Black Hole Clone of his self-destructed...

At point-blank range.

He was confident he could directly blow up a Universe Venerable!

Nine thousand times the gene concentration, such an incredibly high density of divine power.

An ordinary universe lord would have absolutely no chance of survival!

A middle-tier universe lord would most likely be unable to escape either.

As for a high-tier lord, if they burned their divine power, there was a certain possibility they could flee, but they would definitely suffer severe injuries.

Now, he finally had a trump card capable of threatening a universe lord.

Even if it was only through the method of self-destruction.

But one had to understand, self-destructing a body a million kilometers across, beneath his black hole true body with a diameter of fifty billion kilometers—

was merely a drop in the bucket, quickly recoverable, with absolutely no cost.

It could even be used as a regular attack.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, he would not resort to this move.

After all, if he truly did self-destruct, all of his equipment would be one hundred percent lost.
