Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 76

Ch 76: Ten Thousand Shadow Points!

The Shadow Devourer continuously devoured the corpses. Whenever it was about to reach its limit, Qin Jin-nian would decisively retract it, relying on the Shadow Devourer’s feedback to continue.

Leaving the attribute points aside for now, the shadow points, after a few minutes, broke through the one thousand point mark for the first time.

Qin Jin-nian immediately looked at the panel… One thousand shadow points. Could he upgrade?

On the panel, behind the ‘Authority’, a small plus sign appeared.

With a thought, he tapped it open and immediately discovered that behind all three Authorities, small plus signs had appeared!

His heart was immediately filled with joy, but then he suppressed his excitement and didn’t upgrade immediately…

He remembered that when upgrading an Authority, he would enter a state of inexplicable absentmindedness.

And to be absentminded in this situation… was undoubtedly courting death.

He could only think of a way to escape first.

While pondering, he suddenly noticed a figure charging out from the wall, lunging towards Qin Jin-nian to attack.

She let out a sharp and frantic scream: “Heretic, must be killed!”

Her speed was extremely fast, and she was already close in the blink of an eye.

Qin Jin-nian didn’t know how this person had gotten back, but it was normal… God knows what superpowers these people had?

With a thought, he held Ningning, and with the help of shadows, quickly retreated. At the same time, a dozen Shadow Spikes shot towards that figure.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The Shadow Spikes rained down, but the person’s figure was so fast that it blurred several times, and she actually emerged from the Shadow Spikes. A glint of cold light appeared on her hands, and she lunged towards Qin Jin-nian’s head.

Dang!

A crisp sound, a solid Shadow Plate, appeared in front of him, blocking the attack.

The Shadow Plate instantly cracked, but it still didn’t break.

In the next moment, a large number of Shadow Tendrils wrapped around her, directly coiling towards her waist and arms… As long as she was entangled by the shadows, Qin Jin-nian had a very high chance of crushing her.

But this person’s speed was extremely fast. Failing to hit, and seeing the numerous Shadow Tendrils, she stomped on the air, causing a ripple, as if the air had become solid, and at the same time, she retreated explosively.

The tendrils wrapped around her, and she swung her arms rapidly, using the dagger to block all of the Shadow Tendrils.

Qin Jin-nian was secretly shocked… Indeed, the main reason the Shadow Power had been so successful before was that others didn’t know the details. The key was its suddenness.

But when the opponent was prepared, it was still relatively difficult to kill with one strike.

Shadows burst from the ground, directly stabbing at the woman in the air, but the woman was already prepared, always on guard, and could always dodge in the nick of time.

The air under her feet seemed to turn into flat ground, and with consecutive jumps, she caused ripples.

Qin Jin-nian didn’t hesitate and turned to run.

The shadows under his feet turned into more than ten legs, and he flew quickly.

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into this narrow space channel.

“Heretic!!”

The black-robed woman screamed furiously.

And at this moment, because Qin Jin-nian had already run far away, the shadow gate blocking the entrance also quietly melted away and disappeared. The Church of the End members behind him finally charged in as well.

“Where is he?!”

Leading the charge was the Mind-Type Esper. Her face was contorted, filled with boundless rage.

“He ran.” The woman who could tread on air pointed in Qin Jin-nian’s direction.

“Chase!”

She roared, and her figure was like lightning, immediately flying out.

But not long after, another shadow gate appeared before her. Countless Shadow Spikes emerged from the gate, forcing her to stop. She was furious.

“Who is it? Who is it?!”

She screamed in anger… With black mist emanating from her entire body, she seemed to have lost the rationality of a normal human.

Qin Jin-nian had now entered the second ‘Place of Sacrifice’. Seeing the ground covered in corpses, he didn’t hesitate and directly activated the Shadow Devourer…

◈◈◈

“Devour!”

◈◈◈

◈◈◈

The female Church of the End member, who could walk on air, arrived this time even faster than before. She rushed into the Place of Sacrifice. This time, she had a pistol in her hand, and she fired ‘bang, bang, bang’ at Qin Jin-nian.

But things like pistols were useless against Qin Jin-nian. The shadows instantly surged, transforming into a Shadow Gate, blocking in front of Qin Jin-nian and Ningning. A series of clangs, the bullets bounced off, having no effect.

The female believer could only dive down again, engaging in close combat.

But Qin Jin-nian didn’t give her a chance to get close. A large number of Shadow Tendrils moved and attacked without any pattern. The female believer could only keep moving in the air, avoiding being caught.

In fact, if most of the shadows hadn’t been diverted to block the Mind-Type Esper outside and the other Church of the End members, this woman would have been caught long ago in this narrow space.

But Qin Jin-nian wasn’t feeling well either. The mental shock outside still existed, and the screams caused his head to split with pain… If it wasn’t for the Shadow Devourer occasionally recovering him, he probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

And during this process, Qin Jin-nian was also very worried about Ningning… He had recovery, but Ningning didn’t.

But looking down, he found that throughout the process, Ningning was only closing her eyes, as if having a nightmare, but there was no other discomfort. He finally breathed a sigh of relief…

He didn’t know whether that crazy female priest outside was deliberately avoiding Ningning and only targeting him… or whether Ningning herself could withstand this kind of mental shock?

After all, Ningning was chosen as a ‘Holy Seed’. If she didn’t have something extraordinary, it didn’t seem right…

But, it didn’t matter. What mattered was to leave quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses of the second ‘Place of Sacrifice’ were also devoured clean by Qin Jin-nian. The shadow points had already reached over two thousand.

Qin Jin-nian didn’t stop, repeating the same trick, using shadows to force back the female believer in the air, while running towards the next ‘Place of Sacrifice’.

When the crazy female priest came in, Qin Jin-nian was already at the next place.

It made her curse again, her eyes turning red, but there was nothing she could do, she could only continue to chase.

Then, the shadow gate appeared again…

The female priest was already almost going crazy with anger.

And in the deepest part of the space, the black mist had formed a giant vortex, wildly oscillating, and the space was slightly torn. Some huge and weird figures appeared inside…

Just like that, the third, the fourth, the fifth…

When Qin Jin-nian entered here, he had passed a total of eleven Places of Sacrifice, and both sides were covered with the corpses of women and children.

This time, he returned one by one, and then devoured the corpses inside…

When he passed the ninth Place of Sacrifice, his shadow points had already reached ten thousand!

【Detected that shadow points have reached ten thousand, new Authority can be activated…】

Text appeared on the panel.

But now was not the time to worry about this. Qin Jin-nian knew that once he left this area, he would be in great danger… Because outside, it was the battlefield where the Church of the End and the Night Watch were fighting.

Many powerful Super Martial Artists were fighting on the battlefield. Making a big commotion here would inevitably alarm both sides.

The Night Watch was hard to say, but the Church of the End would definitely launch an attack on him instantly… Especially with this female believer who could tread on air… She would definitely try to stop him.

So…

With Qin Jin-nian’s thoughts flashing, he unknowingly passed a few more Places of Sacrifice. The exit was already ahead.

Behind it, was the exit.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions outside had already become clear instantly.
