Extracting Ten Thousand Times His Cultivation!
Lu Qing'an felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery began to be swallowed by darkness.
First, the light disappears.
The light from the lamp on the dome, composed of hundreds of luminous pearls, was drained in an instant, as if swallowed by an invisible giant mouth.
Then the colors disappear.
The deep red of sandalwood, the pale green of warm jade, and the amber of spirit tea—all the colors are fading rapidly, leaving only an ever-deepening darkness.
Then, even the building itself began to be consumed by darkness.
The black jade floor melted into nothingness, the portraits on the four walls vanished along with the walls themselves, and the dome of the main hall collapsed silently as if it had never existed.
All matter, all structures, all entities, were reduced to nothingness by the erosion of darkness!
The process was not violent; in fact, it was quite quiet.
But this silence was all the more unsettling.
It was as if darkness was the true face of this world, and the previous grand hall, light, and colors were nothing more than a fleeting illusion.
When the darkness finally stopped spreading, Lu Qing'an found himself in a completely different world.
An endless void.
There was no sky, no earth, no objects, and no reference points.
All around was pure darkness, a darkness not the darkness of night, but a more fundamental, chaotic darkness that seemed to have existed before the creation of the world.
In the entire world, there are only Lu Qing'an and Luo Qiushan.
They were still standing in the same positions as before in the main hall, but the black jade ground beneath their feet was gone, replaced by endless dark void.
Luo Qiushan stood in the center of the darkness, her plain white dress standing out conspicuously in this pure black world.
As the controller of this Great Dao of Darkness Domain, she is the absolute ruler within it!
Luo Qiushan slightly raised her hand, gesturing for him to enter. Her voice echoed in the empty world, carrying a strange ethereal quality. "Fellow Daoist, please!"
Lu Qing'an stood still, sensing the omnipresent power of darkness around him.
He could clearly sense that his body was being severely suppressed in this area.
The omnipresent darkness was like an invisible hand, pressing down on him from all sides, making his movements sluggish and his power flow difficult.
"Is this the power of the Great Dao Realm?" Lu Qing'an silently sensed the suppression in his heart, his eyes showing no panic, only calm analysis.
"Inside here, I can clearly feel my strength being weakened by more than a hundred times. If someone of the same cultivation level as Luo Qiushan were in Luo Qiushan's Darkness Domain, they would probably be instantly killed."
This is a very intuitive judgment.
His strength was reduced a hundredfold, meaning that any Eternal Realm cultivator of the same level who entered this area would have their strength reduced to an extremely pitiful degree.
Luo Qiushan herself would receive the blessing of the Great Dao of Darkness in this realm. With this shift in power, let alone resisting, even surviving would be a problem.
The terror of the Great Dao of Darkness was laid bare at this moment.
But Lu Qing'an showed no fear whatsoever.
He stared at Luo Qiushan and said calmly, "Alright, fellow Daoist, I will make three moves in a moment. If you feel you cannot withstand them, let me know."
He spoke very seriously, without the slightest hint of joking.
It seemed to him that it was perfectly normal for an Eternal Realm cultivator to tell a Great Dao Realm expert who had cultivated twenty Great Dao, "Tell me if you can't stop me."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qiushan's wry smile deepened. She shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness and amusement. "Fellow Daoist is joking."
She paused, then added in her mind, "If I can't even withstand an attack from the Eternal Realm, there's no point in me staying in the Hongmeng Holy Realm."
This is not arrogance, but rather the reaction of any normal cultivator at the Great Dao Realm.
The gap between the Eternal Realm and the Great Dao Realm has been verified countless times throughout the countless years of the Hongmeng Holy Realm, and no one has ever been able to cross it.
Even the most brilliant and talented geniuses, while perhaps able to contend with newcomers who have just entered the Great Dao Realm when they are in the Eternal Realm, would never be able to shake those powerful individuals who have already cultivated multiple Great Dao.
Luo Qiushan cultivated twenty different Great Dao, among which the Great Dao of Darkness reached its pinnacle!
With such strength, if she can't even withstand three moves from the Eternal Realm, then she might as well announce her retirement!
Lu Qing'an didn't say anything more.
He has said what he needed to say and given the reminders he needed to give.
Since Luo Qiushan is confident, let's prove it with facts.
His gaze changed in the next instant.
It wasn't a change in emotion, but a more fundamental transformation that erupted from the depths of the soul.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and it seemed as if countless stars were lit up at the same moment in the depths of his eyes, radiating a light that was too dazzling to look directly at.
The surrounding darkness seemed to sense something and began to surge uneasily.
"Let's extract ten thousand times our cultivation power first."
Lu Qing'an's thoughts flashed through his mind, as simple as solving a basic arithmetic problem.
As this thought crossed his mind, a power within him that he had been suppressing began to awaken.
It was an indescribable surge of momentum.
It was like a calm sea suddenly erupting into a raging torrent, like a volcano dormant for millennia suddenly spewing forth devastating lava, like an ancient beast that had been sleeping for ages finally opening its golden vertical pupils in the darkness.
In an instant, Lu Qing'an's cultivation level was mobilized and began to expand at a terrifyingly rapid rate.
His clothes moved without wind, his black hair danced wildly behind him, and a dazzling light burst forth from his body, piercing through the surrounding darkness and forming an ever-expanding halo around him.
The dark void beneath his feet began to tremble violently, and countless cracks spread outwards from him in all directions. Each crack emitted a blinding light, as if this domain constructed by the Great Dao of Darkness was being torn apart from within by some more powerful force.
The entire Darkness Domain trembled!
No, to be precise, the entire Darkness Domain is gripped by fear!
The smile on Luo Qiushan's face froze the moment Lu Qing'an's aura intensified.
Just a moment ago, she was calculating how to hold back her strength so as not to hurt this genius; just a moment ago, she was thinking about how to take care of the other party's feelings and face in this sparring match.
But now, when that terrifying, indescribable aura erupted from Lu Qing'an's body, all her plans, all her thoughts, and all her composure were shattered in an instant.
Her eyes widened suddenly, staring at them with unprecedented intensity.
For the first time, something beyond darkness appeared in those pure black pupils.
That was shock, disbelief, a sense of bewilderment and horror after one's worldview has been completely overturned!
Her body even involuntarily took a step back.
The dignified sect master of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect, a top expert who cultivated twenty Great Dao, was actually forced back by the aura of an Eternal Realm cultivator within his own Great Dao of Darkness Domain.
How is that possible?!
But that momentum is still rising!
After ten thousand times his cultivation level was extracted, Lu Qing'an's aura had reached a level that even Luo Qiushan found terrifying.
Even she had never felt that level of power fluctuation from any Eternal Realm cultivator.
It could even be said that she had never experienced anything like this with most cultivators at the Great Dao Realm!
"Impossible... How could this be..." Luo Qiushan's lips trembled slightly, her mind blank.
She suddenly remembered what Lu Qing'an had just said.
That remark she thought was just a joke!
If you feel you can't withstand it, let me know.
So he wasn't joking!
He's serious!!!
