In an instant, Meng Chuan refined a vast amount of Dark Matter to obtain the Immortal Emperor Scripture within it.
The World-Destroying Elder and the others would have called him an expert if they had seen him.
Even before their fall, none of them had ever refined as much Dark Matter at once as Meng Chuan had.
Was he in such a hurry to join them?
To obtain the Immortal Emperor Scripture, one had to endure the corrosion of Dark Matter.
At the same time, one's vital essence would drain away, absorbed by the Dark Matter to dilute it.
Meng Chuan gave up pure vital essence and endured dark corrosion in exchange for the Immortal Emperor Scripture.
It was an equal exchange.
Unrestrained Dark Matter Refinement on a vast scale would naturally greatly accelerate the corrosion, rapidly leading one toward corruption.
Of course, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor's resistance was formidable. Fully corrupting one would take a long time.
When the World-Destroying Elder and the others first began extracting the Immortal Emperor Scripture, they had been cautious too, refining only small amounts of Dark Matter each time.
But they had kept absorbing Dark Matter for far too long.
Over endless years, even refining just one drop of Dark Matter a day would add up to an enormous amount.
Besides, when one first began Dark Matter Refinement, one could still keep oneself in check.
As time passed, the amount refined grew and the corrosion sank deeper. Eventually, there was no stopping.
The World-Destroying Elder had reached the point where even his Origin had been replaced by darkness. He no longer cared at all.
All that mattered was that his own will remained.
At the amount Meng Chuan was refining each time, falling into darkness would only be a matter of time if he
