Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 75

Ch 75: Shadow Devour, Eat!

The sudden mental shock dealt Qin Jin-Nian a great disadvantage. But fortunately, his shadow superpower was still very strong. At this moment, he had already rushed into the channel he came from, and his body staggered slightly, but he still stabilized himself.

His head felt like it was splitting open with pain, and as he bared his teeth, the shadow holding Ningning behind him had also rapidly pulled back to his side.

He immediately embraced Ningning.

Ningning’s slender body felt very light in his arms, soft and warm. Feeling the softness and warmth on Ningning’s body, Qin Jin-Nian breathed a long sigh of relief…

She’s fine.

At least she’s still alive.

It’s just that her current state doesn’t seem very good. Her delicate little face looked slightly pale, her brows were furrowed, as if she was having a nightmare, and a few crystal tears hung at the corners of her eyes…

But she didn’t wake up with such a big commotion, which was clearly not normal.

But now wasn’t the time to worry about that; it was enough to confirm that the person was still alive.

Qin Jin-Nian didn’t stop either, enduring the pain in his head, and his shadow superpower immediately burst out, making his entire body move like an octopus, extremely agile as he drilled into the channel and fled outwards in a frenzy.

But inside, it was already in chaos. Those devout Church of the End followers all woke up from their crazed state, and the black mist in the high sky was surging wildly, as if some unknown presence was enraged.

“Kill him, retrieve the Holy Seed!!!”

The screams echoed, and the woman who had been kneeling in front of the idol all along, her face contorted with a ferocious twist, roared. The next moment, her body floated out of thin air, and with a whoosh, she flew into the channel and pursued him.

Those black robes behind her also let out angry screams and roars, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly, and they all chased after him.

The speed was extremely fast.

Qin Jin-Nian had now poked a hornet’s nest, and the first wave of mental shock had left him dizzy and disoriented. He had already arrived at the first ‘place of sacrifice’.

Inside, there was a large pile of corpses with tragic deaths.

“Put down the Holy Seed!!”

Behind him, a shrill scream had already exploded, and another mental shock immediately crashed over.

Qin Jin-Nian groaned again, and his head boomed. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Looking back, his expression immediately changed… A black shadow had already flown into the channel and was about to come over.

Without even thinking about it, hundreds of shadows immediately transformed into shadow spikes and suddenly burst towards the woman in the air.

“Hmm?!”

The woman’s expression changed slightly, and a glimmer of divine light flashed in her pupils, and the shadows immediately rushed towards her, as if they had collided with something invisible, and immediately froze in place.

Hundreds of shadow spikes, almost sealing the entire channel, stopped abruptly a few meters away from the woman, and the overall shape outlined a perfect arc.

Qin Jin-Nian’s footsteps staggered again, and he almost couldn’t stand. He tightened his grip on Ningning, and his mind raced.

This woman was very terrifying, and this mental superpower was also all-pervasive; he had no way to deal with it. His head was now in extreme pain, and if this continued, perhaps one or two mental shocks would be enough to make him lose consciousness.

Then…

What to do?

Thoughts emerged one after another.

He himself definitely couldn’t kill the other party… He had no way to deal with just this mental superpower.

He could only find someone who could deal with it…

Night Watch!

They were fighting and risking their lives outside, but they clearly hadn’t found the key point. If he hadn’t come in time, the Church of the End might have summoned that so-called true god at this juncture.

But as long as he could get out, attract the Night Watch’s attention… The Night Watch, who dared to directly go to war with the Church of the End, definitely had a way to deal with this person.

The key now was to hold on!

Hold on until he escaped this underground world…

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked at the ‘sacrifices’ around him who had died tragic deaths…

“I’m sorry… You probably wouldn’t want to be seen by others in this state, right? This is to avenge you…”

Qin Jin-Nian gritted his teeth.

◈◈◈

At the same time…

“Heretic! You dare to ruin my god’s great affairs, you must die!!!”

The sharp voice struck again, and with a boom, it crashed into Qin Jin-Nian’s mind again. He staggered two steps, and his face was deathly pale.

He didn’t dare to hesitate any longer.

Shadow Devour!!

With a thought, a mass of black cloth immediately spread out from his feet, covering the entire ‘place of sacrifice’.

One by one, the corpses began to slowly sink…

“Faster, faster!”

Qin Jin-Nian’s face was pale, but a look of calmness appeared in his eyes. He clenched his teeth tightly and silently resisted the excruciating pain in his head.

The more chaotic the situation became, the calmer Qin Jin-Nian’s brain became, just like when he faced that Good Sister Weird.

And whether it was because his inner thoughts were truly effective, the sinking of the corpses seemed to have indeed become faster.

Under the continuous mental shocks, several of the corpses had already completely sunk into the ground.

Normally, Qin Jin-Nian would wait until all the corpses had been devoured before retracting Shadow Devour… Shadow Devour needed to be retracted before feedback would appear.

This time, he couldn’t wait. With a thought, Shadow Devour retracted.

At the same time, a warm and cold aura instantly rose from his feet.

That cold aura surged into his brain, instantly giving him an immediate recovery from the excruciating pain that had almost split him apart.

After a moment of clarity in his head, he thought again…

Shadow Devour spread out again, continuing to devour.

【You activated ‘Shadow Devour’, devouring the flesh and blood of living beings containing dark aura, Stat Points +7, Shadow Points +27. Mental and physical strength slightly recovered. 】

【You activated ‘Shadow Devour’, devouring the flesh and blood of living beings containing dark aura, Stat Points +6, Shadow Points +12. Mental and physical strength slightly recovered… 】

The panel refreshed.

Qin Jin-Nian took a look and found that the Stat Points brought by these corpses were very low… But, the Shadow Points were surprisingly high!

This wave devoured about a dozen corpses, and it actually directly increased his Shadow Points by more than two hundred?!

This made his spirit immediately tremble, and then his eyes flashed with brilliance.

There were quite a few corpses here, and there were more than ten similar sacrifice points behind… If these corpses could all bring him so many Shadow Points.

Then, was it… Authority upgrade in sight?

And just as Qin Jin-Nian was thinking, his mind suddenly moved, and he immediately looked at the channel…

He used shadows to transform into shadow spikes, blocking the entire entrance, so he had time to devour these corpses.

But now, in his perception, there was a huge force pushing the shadows on the other side, wanting to squeeze in.

With a thought, the shadows suddenly intertwined and wrapped around each other, transforming into a huge shadow gate on Qin Jin-Nian’s side. Behind the shadow gate, a few shadow pillars appeared, just like a gate, standing in the channel, giving a sense of solidity.

And on the other side of the gate, the shadow tentacles transformed into steel spikes, shredding anything that dared to get close.

“Mere heretic, courting death!!!”

The scream rang out, and the next moment, with a loud boom, the other party obviously used a big move this time. The shadow gate was hit by a huge force, and immediately showed a few cracks. The channel seemed to have vibrated, as if it was about to collapse!

Qin Jin-Nian’s face was ugly; another one that could break through his defense.

But the next moment, with a thought, the shadow gate immediately wriggled, and it recovered.

“Shadow Devour! Speed up the eating for me!”

He no longer cared about the other side, he just wanted to quickly devour these corpses… Just now, his head was in excruciating pain again…
