Chapter 1064: Chapter 1060: Never Rest Until Death!
The majority of the power absorbed was not the Power of Death, so the energy within Tian Yi was rather chaotic. However, even with such chaos, Tian Yi was able to absorb this energy effectively, and the power gradually accumulated within him.
Ye Tian could see that his opponent, like himself, had become adept at the technique of merging internal power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to absorb others’ power.
“Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz~~~~~~~~~”
It sounded like the noise made by a flying mosquito, but much louder.
Ye Tian was keenly aware that the power within Tian Yi had almost reached its peak, and he was about to make a move against him!
“King of the Night, do you know the source of the Power of Death?”
However, Tian Yi didn’t immediately attack Ye Tian; instead, he asked nonchalantly.
Ye Tian was slightly taken aback and said, “The source of the Power of Death is naturally death! When I fought with Tian Er, I saw him kill his own companion and absorb power from the companion’s corpse! That is the source of the Power of Death!”
But Tian Yi shook his head and said, “You are wrong! King of the Night, the Power of Death is not as superficial as you say! If it were merely absorbing power from death, our Black Hole Clan wouldn’t have been able to continue to this day!”
“…”
Seeing Tian Yi deny his answer, Ye Tian no longer spoke, and just looked at Tian Yi expressionlessly.
Tian Yi then continued, “In fact, the source of the Power of Death is not death, but another state similar to it, which is despair!”
“Despair?”
Ye Tian was puzzled. There was quite a difference between death and despair.
“Yes! It’s despair!”
Tian Yi pointed at the people around him who were stuck by his black threads and were having their energy absorbed.
“Look at their faces! Twisted, contorted, yet helpless, that is the power of despair!” Tian Yi spoke eloquently, “For humans, death could be a form of release, but despair is different. You can’t escape with death, nor can you rid yourself of pain, that is despair!
When humans face despair, even though they haven’t died, their suffering is greater than death, and that is the root cause of the Power of Death’s strength! Human society is full of all kinds of disasters and hardships, and no one can transcend them; everyone can only silently endure the pain.
This despair filled with suffering keeps the human body alive, but the heart is already dead, and at this point, the Power of Death that humans can provide is at its strongest!”
Tian Yi’s words left Ye Tian in silence.
The thirteen guards of the Black Hole Clan, while all using the Power of Death, each have a different understanding of it, thus their abilities vary.
Guardians like Tian Shisan and Tian Qi can only fight using the Power of Death they possess, but Tian Yi and Tian Er can absorb the Power of Death from others.
And Tian Yi’s comprehension of the Power of Death is evidently deeper than Tian Er’s, so when he uses black threads to absorb power from the surrounding crowd, the strength achieved is naturally much greater than Tian Er’s!
Faced with such an opponent, Ye Tian naturally couldn’t afford to be careless, because he clearly understood that if he were even slightly negligent, he would be defeated by the opponent before him…
“Thank you, Tian Yi, your words have enlightened me, so after defeating you, I will commit myself to charity, allowing everyone to live with smiles and without despair!”
Ye Tian deflected, making Tian Yi naturally displeased.
“King of the Night, after witnessing my power, do you still think you can defeat me? How ridiculous!”
Tian Yi roared, the calm and composed expression turning into that of a fierce ghost!
“Whoosh!”
A sound of wind, as Ye Tian saw Tian Yi’s figure flicker, he disappeared from sight.
“So fast!”
Ye Tian exclaimed in surprise.
One must know, Ye Tian possessed a clairvoyant ability and night vision, and in combat, his sight was often faster than his own speed. It was quite surprising that Tian Yi’s speed reached a point where he couldn’t even see him.
In a battle between experts, the most taboo thing is a moment of hesitation, especially when Tian Yi’s speed far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Ye Tian’s brief hesitation brought him a fierce blow!
“Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom~~~~~~~”
Tian Yi lunged from Ye Tian’s side and landed a punch on Ye Tian’s stomach.
“Ah ah ah ah ah~~~~~~~”
This punch was a hundred times more powerful than Tian Yi’s previous strike, and even Ye Tian’s iron body was struck with blood spurting from his mouth, sending his whole body flying.
Ye Tian only felt that his body was filled with Tian Yi’s force, rendering his attempt to stabilize himself with the Thousand Catties Drop technique impossible.
And Tian Yi did not stop there. Instead, he urged his horse forward, swiftly reaching Ye Tian’s side.
“Boom~~~~”
Another punch, and Ye Tian, while flying, was instantly smashed into the ground by Tian Yi’s heavy fist.
Ye Tian’s body was deeply embedded into the soil. Though Tian Yi had only used two punches, the injuries inflicted upon Ye Tian’s body far surpassed the series of attacks just now.
This was Tian Yi’s true strength, a suffocating power unleashed by absorbing the despair from the surrounding crowd!
“Boss!”
“Boss, you…”
…
A portion of the martial artists from Night King Hall still retained their consciousness. Seeing Ye Tian being heavily injured by Tian Yi, they all cried out.
But no matter how desperately they shouted, it was to no avail. The power within everyone’s bodies had been completely drained by Tian Yi, so how could they help Ye Tian?
“It’s over!”
Tian Yi sneered, grabbing Ye Tian, who was embedded in the dirt, like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
“This is truly the final blow! Dark Night King, you were formidable, for you forced me to use my ultimate move. If not for this move, I fear I would have died at your hands long ago! It’s a shame you’re too reliant on your own power. In reality, in front of the Black Hole Clan’s power, the strength you possess is insignificant!”
As he spoke, Tian Yi used his hand as a blade, fiercely stabbing towards Ye Tian’s chest.
Hidden within the hand blade was powerful force, making Tian Yi’s hand sharp as a blade. If Ye Tian were struck, it would certainly pierce his chest and kill him…
“Snap!”
But to Tian Yi’s surprise, his hand blade did not hit Ye Tian. It was caught by Ye Tian’s palm.
Ye Tian’s grip was strong, even Tian Yi felt his palm go numb…
Tian Yi quickly pulled back his hand, no longer holding onto Ye Tian, and retreated a step!
“How could there still be power in your body?”
Tian Yi looked at Ye Tian in shock. From their previous interactions, Ye Tian should have been exhausted. Therefore, after he unleashed his final killer move, Ye Tian should have had no strength to resist.
Yet how was Ye Tian able to counterattack? How was there another unknown force within him?
“Why has the nature of your power changed?”
Tian Yi stared straight at Ye Tian, questioning.
Ye Tian chuckled bitterly and said, “Tian Yi, the so-called trump card is meant for survival at the last moment. If I hadn’t used my final power, you might have dug my heart out, right?”
Although Ye Tian didn’t want to use the divine power within him, given the situation, he had no choice!
Ye Tian did not expect that Tian Yi, the foremost of the thirteen guardians of the Black Hole Clan, would be so powerful that even after using ‘Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity,’ he still could not prevail.
In the end, he was forced into a desperate situation by Tian Yi!
Divine power was different from other powers Ye Tian possessed. This power was extremely prone to running wild, leading Ye Tian to lose consciousness and distinguish foes from friends…
Therefore, Ye Tian did not want to unleash such power unless it was the last possible moment!
As Ye Tian said, he was now at the critical juncture of life and death. What he could do was use his trump card power to confront Tian Yi, this formidable foe!
“The final power? But it’s not a force of nature… What exactly is this power of yours…”
Tian Yi was puzzled. Although he was the foremost of the thirteen guardians of the Black Hole Clan and was knowledgeable, he had never encountered divine power, so he couldn’t understand the power bursting from Ye Tian.
But even lacking understanding of Ye Tian’s power, Tian Yi had no reason to retreat. His own power was strong enough, and the power within Ye Tian was not overwhelmingly superior!
“Dark Night King, I admire you. You’re like a war god who cannot be defeated. Every time I think I can defeat you, your power increases again! Martial artists like you are truly terrifying, not only as a threat to me but also to the Black Hole Clan!”
“So, Dark Night King, this time I will kill you! I will uproot your Night King Hall! I cannot allow any power in this world that might threaten the existence of the Black Hole Clan!”
Tian Yi spoke heavily, his words reflecting his loyalty to the Black Hole Clan.
Ye Tian’s face also darkened. Ye Tian knew clearly, even though he had unleashed divine power, compared to Tian Yi’s power, it did not hold an overwhelming advantage. Thus, Ye Tian could not afford to be careless; he must calmly and carefully engage in hand-to-hand combat with Tian Yi!
“Come on! Tian Yi, today let it be a fight to the death between the two of us!”
Ye Tian shouted and then charged towards Tian Yi, who did not evade but chose to clash directly with Ye Tian.
