Chapter 102: Chapter 20 Heavenly Mysterious Light

"What is that?" In the center of Dan Demon Tomb, a column of light arose, temporarily dispersing the lingering blood mist.

Having experienced the Ancient Village, Yue Jinghua and Feng Buhui were highly vigilant, advancing cautiously and no longer succumbing to illusions.

After discovering bodies that seemed to belong to Silver Scorpion and Blue Crystal Mercenary Group, before they could investigate further, the Dan Demon Tomb suddenly shook as if resembling a volcanic eruption Yue Jinghua had once experienced, and a pillar of light rose up ahead.

After Yue Jinghua and Feng Buhui entered the center of the Dan Demon Tomb, due to the intensifying blood mist, they temporarily lost their way and wandered near a marshland area.

"Heavenly Mysterious Light, someone has made a breakthrough," Qing Pu floated out again. Upon initially entering Dan Demon Tomb, he hid in Star Sea to absorb Heaven and Earth Dark Energy, avoiding the heavy Evil Qi in the blood mist, but seeing the excitement, he hurried back.

On Canglong Continent, cultivation is divided into several realms. It’s commonly acknowledged that moving from acquired stage to Dark Human is a bottleneck, and once broken through, one can generate protective armor just like the Rock Armor Qi Feng encountered earlier.

Moving from Dark Earth to Dark Heavenly is another bottleneck. Dark Heavenly practitioners can travel through heaven and earth, cultivating to this level produces a protective Dark Light that can attack and defend, casting and retracting at will.

As for the Yin Yang Dark Elixir Realm, very few on the continent have achieved it.

"Is that? A Blood Scythe appears within the light column, great, it’s the deputy leader, he’s still alive, he made a breakthrough," Feng Buhui cheerfully exclaimed, he had witnessed Captain Ni Huo’s Heavenly Mysterious Light, and the Ni Huo brothers who practiced the same Dark Skill both had similar breakthrough situations in Dark Heavenly realm.

"Don’t let that foolish boy get too excited too soon, look carefully, something’s off with that Heavenly Mysterious Light," Qing Pu recognized the symptoms of a Dark Heavenly breakthrough, after all, he was the only one among the three there who had reached the Dark Heavenly realm.

The surge of Dark Light, intermingling red and black, featured a small black dot within the pillar. That dot kept growing, resembling numerous black spots that were enlarging, swallowing the Heavenly Mysterious Light.

"That is the Shadow of Darkness, also known as the Heart Demon. Every person advancing to Dark Heavenly carries a Heart Demon more or less, and once the Heart Demon retaliates, the Heavenly Mysterious Light will be devoured completely. A Dark Practitioner can only form the Heavenly Mysterious Light once in a lifetime, missing the chance means never breaking through the Dark Heavenly," although Qing Pu disliked Ni Huo, his expression was solemn, without a trace of schadenfreude.

As a Dark Practitioner, having enough talent but unable to advance to Dark Heavenly would make one’s life worse than death.

Seeing more and more dark shadows gathering within the Heavenly Mysterious Light, Yue Jinghua immediately rushed forward.

The Lake District was a sight of horrendous carnage.

A land of deathly marsh, the lake water had long dried up, countless bones and remains filled the Lake District, Ni Qianjun stood like a blood-stained flag, proudly amidst it all.

His red hair danced like flames, the flame-colored Dark Energy burned around his hands and feet, the clothes on his body had already been torn to shreds by the Heavenly Mysterious Light.

This was the first time Yue Jinghua saw Ni Huo’s weapon.

As mercenaries, they might have no family or lover’s company, but they must never be without weapons.

Like Feng Buhui’s crossbow, barbarian’s giant axe, every mercenary always carried their weapon. However, Yue Jinghua had never seen Ni Huo’s weapon.

Yue Jinghua once asked Ni Qianjun what his weapon was. Ni Qianjun only smiled silently, when asked again, he was evasive, eventually saying, "If possible, I hope that in my lifetime you will never see me use my weapon."

Ni Qianjun’s scythe was named Wind Red Scythe. True to its name, it was as beautiful as a red Mandala, only an inch thick, shaped like a crescent moon.

Yue Jinghua had never seen Ni Qianjun’s weapon because it was always concealed within Ni Qianjun’s body.

At this moment, the blood-colored scythe was slowly pulled inch by inch from Ni Qianjun’s spine, the sound of unsheathing was bloody and ruthless, like pulling bones and tendons.

With each portion of the scythe that was pulled out, the Dark Energy around Ni Qianjun surged, ultimately, he drew a complete scythe, shimmering like a new moon, the proud man with red hair held the scythe, pointing towards the strange eye in the sky.

Hiding the scythe in the spine, this was Ni Qianjun’s greatest secret, even during the Mercenary Newcomer Competition in those earlier years, Ni Qianjun never revealed this move.

"I, Ni Qianjun, swear by the soul of the Wind Red Scythe, will exterminate you. Wind Red Three Forms, Wind Scythe Sea." The Heavenly Mysterious Light filled with intense Evil Qi, Ni Qianjun soared into the sky, his scythe materializing like a new moon, dancing hundreds of crescent shadows.
