Chapter 615: 576 Eclipse Form

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan revealed a strange smile.

"Luo Mountain is the Luo Mountain of Impermanence, not the Luo Mountain of Naraku’s Will; similarly, the Evangelical Institute is the same. Even if the central totem changes from Naraku’s Will to Naraku Gospel, what of it? There is no essential difference between us." He looked at me and said, "You suddenly say something like that, probably trying to extract information related to Naraku Gospel from me, right? Even on the brink of death, you’re thinking about that, it seems your brain is indeed different from normal people.

"Then I’ll just be honest with you. Even without the Naraku Gospel, we would still abandon Naraku’s Will. This human collective unconsciousness would inevitably become an obstacle when we embark on the path of mass human slaughter, so it’s better to distance ourselves early.

"Moreover, we haven’t truly betrayed Naraku’s Will; we’ve merely shifted from the narrow sense of Naraku’s Will to a broad sense of Naraku’s Will."

"—What?" I was surprised.

The broad sense of Naraku’s Will?

I wasn’t unaware of what he was trying to express. Just as the Post-mortem World splits into a broad and narrow sense, when we mention the Post-mortem World, it generally refers to the narrow sense of the Post-mortem World, which is similar to the human aspect of the Post-mortem World; the same is true when we mention Naraku’s Will, generally referring to the will of the Post-mortem World’s human aspect, which is the human collective unconsciousness.

And the broad sense of Naraku’s Will, of course, corresponds to the broad sense of the Post-mortem World, which includes the Post-mortem World of all creatures, formed by the accumulation of billions of years of death in this planet’s ecosystem into a Super Naraku’s Will.

Compared to this, the human collective unconsciousness is simply trivial.

Is this the truth of the Naraku Gospel?

If so, then many things could be explained.

Why Naraku’s Will can be so easily replaced, why the Naraku Gospel can easily reconstruct and reshape the Post-mortem World, is because the Naraku Gospel is inherently the superior form of Naraku’s Will and the true master of the Post-mortem World.

Little Bowl once speculated that the Naraku Gospel might have invaded from other "channels" of the Post-mortem World, which is partially correct. Setting aside the severely damaged Naraku’s Will, the Naraku Gospel can be said to be the conglomeration of all aspects of the Post-mortem World except the human aspect.

Why does the Naraku Gospel harbor such malice and murderous intent towards humans? That’s because human existence is akin to a cancer cell appearing in this world, dragging down the planet’s ecosystem and even destroying the planet itself, the Post-mortem World would be the first part to be destroyed.

You could say the Naraku Gospel is a victim.

But why is the symbol of the Naraku Gospel the moon? I once again had this question.

Huang Quan lightly said, "Just consider this truth as my last gift before sending you to hell."

I retorted, "Aren’t we already in hell right now?"

"Yes... so your spirit can’t even go to hell, just be completely obliterated and become nothingness!"

The mana output by Huang Quan became increasingly fierce, and the cold, suffocating force attempting to bind me grew even heavier. Seizing the momentum, Great Demon Xuanwu pursued relentlessly, leaving me with less and less room to dodge, seemingly about to be hit and severely injured.

At the same time, I had already found the path to complete victory.

"—Little Bowl, can you hear me?" I thought in my mind.

The abundant thermal energy markers left on Little Bowl meant we were effectively always together. I could use this as a medium to initiate telepathy anytime, anywhere, and Little Bowl could do the same.

"Brother Zhuang Cheng, I’m here."

Little Bowl immediately responded through telepathy, understanding my need to initiate contact right away, "You’re still fighting over there, is there anything I can help you with?"

"That’s right. Next, I need to use the ’Crown Form’." I said, "I need your help."

There’s no need to spend time specifically explaining what the "Crown Form" is, because telepathy can convey a vast amount of information. In the common sense world, people refer to situations where others intuitively understand all potential information through simple words, gestures, or glances as a "silent understanding," but in telepathic communication, it’s commonplace. Little Bowl could understand my entire intention.

Currently, I am unable to enter the Eclipse form with my own strength. Although I can actively use the Solar Eclipse Fire, I can’t reach the level of the Catastrophe Demon where his body is built with black flames, let alone intensify the Solar Eclipse Fire to suppress the Great Demon Xuanwu. However, this doesn’t mean I lack the possibility to enter the Eclipse form.

If I fully digest, comprehend, and master the combat experience and information obtained from fighting the Catastrophe Demon, and after long-term training, I can completely grasp this erroneous evolutionary path and become the new "Catastrophe Demon"—does this idea sound familiar?

Indeed, I can’t flexibly wield the power of the "correct evolution route" deduced backwards from those experiences either, but thanks to Little Bowl’s blessing, I can skip the time required for understanding and training, and prematurely apply the technology that is still at the theoretical stage to practice. Since I can perfectly manage the power of the Crown Form through this method, I naturally also gain the conditions to prematurely enter the Eclipse form.

However, I can’t use the erroneous evolution form for a long time, or it will affect my fundamental power essence. Even short-term use may cause unpredictable side effects. Perhaps due to this, Little Bowl’s blessing doesn’t default to boosting my strength in that direction. I must ask Little Bowl to make some adjustments to her blessing.

I don’t care about the side effects that the Eclipse form might impose on me. Currently, I care more about the victory at hand, just thinking about how to kill Huang Quan. If it’s like when with Ming Zhuo and there’s truly no way out, that’s one thing. But having the True Spirit Power that can genuinely kill the opponent, and even conceiving viable tactics, yet still being hindered by trivial matters—that’s something I absolutely won’t tolerate.

"——I understand, Brother Zhuang Cheng."

Little Bowl seems to grasp my intent, she lowers her voice and says solemnly, "I will assist you now——"

With her words, I sense a change in the nature of the blessing falling on me.

The blessing, originally aiding me on the correct evolution route, seems to have subtly reversed, causing an explosive dissemination of understanding about the Eclipse form in my mind. Like a cascade of complex equations rapidly unfolding, deducing answer after answer that meet my needs. Following this momentum, I begin to exert force. The flames subsequently change.

The Crown Form light body, persistently radiating fiery brilliance, suddenly becomes incredibly dark, as if a button on a digital camera is pressed, switching the captured scene to negative mode. It’s no longer the intensely hot and glaring orange-red, but inversely turns into abyss-like pitch black. Simultaneously, terrifying gravity descends upon the earth.

If a black hole suddenly appeared on Earth, what would it become? I often fantasized about such a scene in the past. Though it cannot be compared to a real black hole, without a doubt, at this moment I am exhibiting a large-scale gravitational disaster. Centered on me in the sky, the overwhelming gravity torrent wildly spreads across the surface, tearing the land apart without any visible cause, creating numerous deep canyons randomly, with countless rocks and underground water violently sucked into the air.

Wrong Evolution Form—"Eclipse".

The flames that constitute my body have all reversed into black Solar Eclipse Fire. This sensation is fresh and peculiar; originally, I was a mass of highly destructive and lightweight flame, my body ready to expand, explosion, losing shape; now, I seem to have transformed into a supremely compressed mountain peak made of mysterious material under immense invisible pressure.

I have become tremendously heavy, solid, yet do not feel hindered in movement, capable of executing terrifyingly high-speed actions like a world-ending meteor.

The transformation of such high-density, massive flame completes so quickly, almost too easily. Yet, this is precisely the most reasonable outcome. My flame was originally spiritual power; although it can simulate the inertia of matter, it can also choose not to simulate it. As long as the spirit is in place, everything falls into line.

This is also a double-edged sword, a dangerous nature. Because the potential harm will also magnify rapidly. I must finish the battle before the Eclipse form brings irreversible cost to me.

Witnessing my transformation, Huang Quan is stunned and stops in its tracks. But the Great Demon Xuanwu does not hesitate as much; instead, it surges forth with greater murderous intent as if seeing a nemesis, its giant body charging towards me at full power.

However, now it poses no threat to me whatsoever.

I raise my finger, and in an instant, a sphere resembling a black hole appears at my fingertip.

This is also "Eclipse," but vastly different from all the "Eclipse" I have used before. It appears completely removed from flames. Though merely a small sphere, it seemingly possesses a mass greater than the ground below, the embodiment of overwhelming gravity.

Facing the charging Great Demon Xuanwu, the black sphere is launched forward and collides with the opponent.

Then, without a sound, the sphere pierces through the Great Demon Xuanwu’s massive body. The Great Demon Xuanwu continues to charge in this direction out of inertia, but that’s only for a fleeting moment.

Next, it abruptly halts, as if forcibly restrained by an invisible tether. It lets out a tremendous roar, yet utterly fails to resist the power. The sphere behind it unleashes fearsome gravity, dragging its entire body towards it strongly.

In the process of approaching the sphere, its whole body is torn apart by invisible forces, like a plastic doll entering a shredder, torn to pieces. In the blink of an eye, the black sphere completely devours the Great Demon Xuanwu without a trace.

In the next moment, the sphere erupts with boundless light and heat, a supernova-like blazing fire engulfing everything before my eyes.

——Great Demon Xuanwu, eliminated.
