Bluffing with a Pseudo-Black Hole, Parting for a Better Reunion

Mo Yuan gripped the shaft of the lance with both hands, and the Soul Power around him suddenly turned violent.

As he recited the Liberation Incantation, Soul Power rapidly gathered toward the lance.

The black-and-white Abyss Flower suddenly trembled. The pitch-black blade and luminous white shaft intertwined, while the forces of life and death continuously compressed and condensed at the tip.

In an instant, the power compressed to its limit at the tip exploded.

A pure-white beam of light that pierced heaven and earth shot into the sky. The blinding light swallowed the entire battlefield, while a pitch-black current as deep as the Deep Abyss coiled around the beam. Decay Power and Genesis Power merged into one.

The earth and sea split into spiderweb-like ravines beneath the energy impact. The air was forcibly torn apart, and every substance in the surroundings was instantly broken down completely.

Facing Di Tian's surging dragon breath, Mo Yuan was utterly fearless. He stepped forward and thrust out his lance.

After the Holy Lance unlocked its first rated power, its edge precisely locked onto the target. The Decay Power of the Abyss spread outward, corroding all the surrounding energy. Even the faintest traces of life were torn apart by this strike.

The instant the light erupted, countless petals of light blossomed like white flowers. Destructive power poured forth with a thunderous roar, ripping apart the astonishingly powerful dragon breath in a single strike.

Mo Yuan pulled the lance back into his grip. The beam of light slowly contracted, and the black and white colors returned to the weapon, leaving behind only lingering shockwaves in the air.

"What?"

Di Tian's eyes widened. This was already the umpteenth time he had been shocked today.

Every time he thought his opponent's strength had reached its limit, his opponent would produce an even greater power and viciously shatter his assumptions.

Especially this time. That strange lance and the Decay Power wrapped around it had even made him unwilling to become tainted by the slightest trace of it.

"Well, Di Tian? Still coming?"

Mo Yuan took a deep breath and stood on the ravaged beach, supporting himself with the Abyss Flower.

His cultivation was still too low. Although he could mimic various Divine Keys, it was difficult for him to unleash their true power.

For example, just now, using the Abyss Flower's first rated power once had nearly drained all his Soul Power. If he had not developed the good habit of storing rare metals in his Storage Soul Tool and then using his third soul skill to rapidly recover his Soul Power, he would already have collapsed.

Even so, his eyes remained exceptionally bright. The more critical the situation, the faster his mind worked. He knew that he absolutely could not reveal the slightest sign of exhaustion, or everything he had just done would have been for nothing.

"Hmph! Human, don't get carried away. You're merely a Soul Elder. After using such a powerful soul skill, how much Soul Power could you possibly have left?" Di Tian said in a low voice.

"Heh, there's no need for the Beast God to worry about that. Whether I can still fight or not, you'll know if you try."

As he spoke, Mo Yuan extended a hand, and Stellar Sea Harmony, resembling a spherical machine, appeared in his palm.

"Stellar Sea Harmony—Zero Rated Power..."

Soul Power surged toward Stellar Sea Harmony once more, and an invisible singularity appeared in his palm.

With its appearance, the surrounding space began to twist violently. Even the moonlight cast down by the moon was twisted and absorbed, making it look like a pitch-black hole.

Not only that, but the surrounding seawater, sand, shattered rocks, and even the various energies remaining in the air were all swallowed by this black hole like a giant whale gulping down water.

"This is!"

Di Tian flapped his wings and instinctively flew into the sky. A glimmer of nine-colored light also flashed across his right claw.

But the very next second, he halted his body's instinctive movement.

Di Tian warily glanced at the Pseudo-Black Hole in Mo Yuan's palm and said in a low voice, "Is this really necessary? Once this strike is unleashed, whether I die or not is uncertain, but you will definitely die."

"Are you afraid?" Mo Yuan sneered.

"Tsk..." Di Tian gritted his teeth. He had truly fallen into the hands of a human today, but he did not dare to gamble. The other man's master was right beside him, and that strange thing in his hand could definitely destroy space. What if he refused to back down and drove the other side into a corner?

Besides, he was not actually sure whether Dragon God's Claw could neutralize this strike. There was even less reason to take the risk.

Once he thought of this, Di Tian actually took human form and landed opposite Mo Yuan, less than fifty meters away.

"Well, human? I've already shown my sincerity. Now you should sit down and have a proper talk, shouldn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan pretended to think for a while before dispersing the Pseudo-Black Hole in his hand.

That was right. It had only been a disguised Pseudo-Black Hole.

After all, he had nearly burned through all his Soul Power just by unleashing the Abyss Flower's first rated power. How could he possibly release Stellar Sea Harmony's Zero Rated Power?

He had merely used Stellar Sea Harmony's Third Rated Power—Singularity Reconstruction—to deceive Di Tian.

Though perhaps it could not really be called deception. After all, Singularity Reconstruction's destructive power was not to be underestimated, and he could also elevate Singularity Reconstruction to a Pseudo-Black Hole at any time.

The only price was burning his lifespan.

As for burning one's lifespan, for the Herrschers of Reason, a group with the admirable virtue of "constantly offering up their lives," it apparently was not anything difficult to accept.

Still, as the saying went, if one could live, who would willingly experience death even once?

Seeing Mo Yuan put away that terrifying thing, Di Tian sighed in relief. He stared intently at his opponent and asked, "Tell me. What exactly do you want?"

Hearing this, Mo Yuan did not answer immediately. He waved toward Na'er's direction, and the necklace around Na'er's neck flashed with a glimmer of silver light.

The next moment, Na'er fell out of the folded space and was teleported in front of him.

He gently straightened Na'er's slightly disheveled collar. Na'er finally could not hold back any longer and threw herself into Mo Yuan's arms, tears streaming down her face and instantly soaking his collar.

Mo Yuan took a deep breath and gently patted Na'er's back. Then he said in a low voice, "I know everyone has a destiny of their own. Even if it wasn't something she chose herself, she still has no choice but to do it."

Those words were meant not only for Di Tian, but also for Na'er.

"I won't ask what happened, but I hope you remember this: she isn't anyone's appendage, nor is she something that can be discarded at will. She is Na'er, and she is also my little sister. So I absolutely will not allow anyone to hurt her."

"I can guess part of your plan as well. I won't stop you from carrying it out, but I will ensure Na'er's safety in my own way."

As he spoke, Mo Yuan gently pulled Na'er away from his chest and softly wiped the tears from her cheeks with his fingers.

Then he opened his palm, and a slightly illusory black feather appeared in it.

The feather slowly drifted into the center of Na'er's brows.

Na'er blinked. She did not feel anything at all.

"The necklace I gave you has more than one function. It also integrates the ability to communicate through Soul Tools. Whenever you miss me, you only need to think about it, and you'll be able to talk to me. Of course, that depends on whether I'm free at the time."

Na'er clutched the necklace tightly and nodded hard.

After finishing all this, Mo Yuan raised his head again and looked at Di Tian.

"All right. I've said everything I needed to say. You can leave now."

Di Tian glanced at Mo Yuan with some surprise, but since things had already reached this point, he still came to Na'er's side. Then a spatial passage opened beside him.

"Parting for a time doesn't mean farewell forever. It symbolizes a better reunion instead. Go, Na'er."

"Mhm! Big Brother, I'll miss you."

Na'er smiled sweetly and waved at Mo Yuan. Then she disappeared into the spatial passage.
