Purcell: Lord of the Void

Chapter 613 Two Kinds of Nothingness

Although the difference in strength between the two sides is an objective fact, they were able to be wiped out. If you say that these guys have no problems at all, that is nonsense.

But here's the interesting point: these four are all battle-hardened kings. Even Cang Xing, who seems the most reliable, is actually a cautious person.

So what exactly was the reason that made these four people willing to take the risk and try to kill the Lord of Destruction, which ultimately led to their annihilation? To understand this, we have to turn back time.

Sai Er Hao and Cang Xing rescued Emperor Tianqi, who was captured by the War Lord, through a beautiful ambush. However, this only changed the ending of the matter from "worst" to "bad" and was still far from the real "happy".

The most difficult point was the injury of Emperor Tianqi himself. The disappearing nature of nothingness completely destroyed the self-healing ability of Emperor Tianqi's body. His body was now like a huge funnel. No matter how much energy ore the Seer provided or how much vitality Mo Ruier replenished for him, his body could not retain this energy and he could only watch helplessly as this precious energy disappeared.

Emperor Tianqi's fate mirrored that of the Elf King. Although his cultivation far surpassed the Elf King's, and even eroded by the void, he was able to forcibly confront the War Lord and engage him in battle for hundreds of rounds, he ultimately could not endure this situation of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor.

Even more fatal was the lack of timely treatment. The erosion of nothingness had already penetrated deep into his bones, and even the power of the gods was powerless to deal with it.

The divine spirit's effect on the void is similar to expulsion, like oil heating up a raging fire. Using extremely violent energy collisions, it forcibly expels the other from the host body. The host becomes the battlefield for the two great Buddhas to fight.

It's hard to say who will win or lose between the two of them. However, the host will undoubtedly suffer serious damage. Given Emperor Tianqi's current situation, if he were to use this move, at best he would lose all his cultivation, at worst he would die on the spot. It's a fight to the death.

If it were anyone else, they would have used it. Losing all their cultivation was better than losing their life, but Emperor Tianqi, as one of the Temple Heroes and one of the few high-end combat forces in the Seer Universe, would have made the situation, which was already extremely unfavorable, even worse if he chose this method.

Just when everyone was at their wit's end, Cang Xing returned to Seer, bringing with him the "medicine" Bai Ye had personally gifted him. It was a wooden box, the size of a brick. Intricate sealing runes were engraved on it. The mere wisps of aura it exuded filled everyone with a sense of pressure; it was clear at a glance that it was anything but ordinary.

Cang Xing relied on his own computing power to quickly remove the seal and opened the box. The moment the box was opened, a dazzling rainbow of light burst forth. Under this brilliant light, everyone sensed a terrifying yet familiar aura—the void.

No one expected that what Bai Ye gave Cang Xing was a whole box of void energy that was so rich that it almost appeared solid. Even Cang Xing, the person involved, was surprised.

Fear filled the faces of the onlookers. They had witnessed the dangers of Void Energy before. It was a powerful force even more ancient and ferocious than Chaos Energy.

The danger of the power of chaos lies in that, as the most primitive force in the universe, it often stimulates the most primitive and unbearable desires in the hearts of elves, as well as the animal nature hidden beneath human nature.

However, if an elf possesses a strong will or sufficient strength, they can escape this negative influence, transforming chaotic energy into a harmless and powerful force. Ultimately, the power of chaos is meant to draw out the darkness within the elves, but both light and darkness originate from within the elves themselves, their true source within them.

The void forces are the complete opposite of this. They are not simply energy, but contain a certain consciousness. In short, they are alive.

Once fused with them, they will directly attack the spirit's consciousness. Unless your strength reaches god-level and your own soul power is extremely powerful, otherwise, you will be powerless to fight back against this attack. The spirit's consciousness will be quickly wiped out, and the spirit itself will become their puppet.

Perhaps from the outside, it is still the same elf, but in essence it has become a tool driven by nothingness, wielding the butcher knife with the help of everything it once loved.

For a moment, the situation was at a stalemate. No one dared to use this power rashly. Zeus's camel was bigger than a horse. If the Apocalypse army was controlled by the void at this time, it could completely eliminate everyone on the Seer.

But time was running out, and Emperor Tianqi was in imminent danger. If they continued to delay, they would not even be able to use the divine power as a backup plan.

"Wait, don't be afraid. This is the Void, and it seems a little different from what we usually see. They don't have such a strong desire to attack." Harolant spoke first, took the initiative to step forward, and lightly touched a little with his hand.

As the top paleontologist in Leda, he devoted all his energy to the study of void energy after the destruction of Leda. Although there has been no substantial progress so far, his understanding of void energy is unparalleled in the entire Seer.

Harolant's bold move caused a commotion. Everyone took a few steps back, their eyes filled with uncertainty. However, these substances, emitting a rainbow of colors, remained remarkably stable, no different from ordinary water droplets.

"What's the situation?" Cang Xing asked immediately.

"In stark contrast to the previous emptiness, it's gentle and nourishing, like a trickle of water flowing through my heart. The feeling is like my mother's embrace in my childhood, warm and peaceful." Hallorant said with emotion.

As soon as he came into contact with the colorful light, he felt his body suddenly become transparent, and a coolness rushed to his head. The fatigue that had accumulated over the years seemed to be swept away. If this wasn't a public place, he would even want to roar to the sky.

Hearing his words, Cang Xing looked thoughtful, but then he said, "Since it has been confirmed to be safe, send him there as soon as possible. Otherwise, the treatment will be delayed."

The Grass King who was in charge of the treatment was skeptical about this thing, but the severe condition of Emperor Tianqi did not allow him to think too much. He could only try it as a last resort and apply the thick energy liquid on the wound.

Then, a scene they would never forget occurred. Wu and this energy rapidly merged, coating the pitch-black Wu with a layer of colorful protective film. Strands of Wu oozed out from the wound, leaving the body and quickly crystallizing before falling to the ground.

Emperor Tianqi's pale face then turned a bit redder. Seeing the effect, the Grass King quickly increased the dosage. The nothingness hidden deep within his body, after combining with this energy, quickly emerged to the surface of his body, seeping out from all parts of his body. Then it quickly crystallized.

This crystal had a colorful outer layer, but within it lay a dense mass of desolate, deep black and vibrant colors, creating a stark contrast. The violent nothingness was unexpectedly trapped within the colorful crystals.

"I understand." Hallorant exclaimed excitedly, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

There are two kinds of nothingness in this world, or accidents have two meanings. Although the world returns to nothingness, it is also born from nothingness.

Two kinds of nothingness, one of destruction, the other of rebirth. Both are the product of a certain force reaching its extremes. Dreams share the same origin, yet they are completely different. Truly a mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive existence.

Compared to the raging and drastic divine power, this other kind of ethereal power is the real solution to the problem. It can directly cut off the activity of the weeds from the root without causing serious impact on living organisms.

Finally, after consuming a small half of the void energy in the wooden box, Emperor Tianqi suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth and woke up.

"How are you feeling, sir?"

"Very good. Wu has a high compatibility with this power. The combination was completed almost instantly, and the burden on my body was minimal. In fact, this energy even provided a certain amount of replenishment when it entered my body. Now I have recovered to my peak combat strength.

"What are the plans for that gentleman next?" Although he had never met Bai Ye, the other party's strength had already impressed Emperor Tianqi. He keenly realized that this person might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
