726: Chapter 722: Black Hole Clan!
Ye Zhirong paused for a brief moment, then immediately spoke, “So be it!
Boy, since knowing the attributes of the Power of Death can help you better assimilate it, I might as well tell you!
In fact, in this world, ‘Eggs of Death’ are scattered everywhere and are the easiest treasures for Martial Artists to obtain.
As long as one can get an ‘Egg of Death,’ no matter who they are, they can gain the Power of Death from it and thus cultivate the force of nature, vastly increasing a Martial Artist’s strength!
And all the ‘Eggs of Death’ in the world come from one place—that is the ‘Black Hole Clan’!”
“The Black Hole Clan!?”
Ye Tian looked at Ye Zhirong in astonishment.
The answer he had been desperately seeking was revealed by Ye Zhirong, and these clues couldn’t even be obtained by seeking help from the Heaven Net…
“Mr.
Ye, what exactly is the Black Hole Clan?
Is it a race?”
Ye Tian asked again, and Ye Zhirong nodded.
“Yes!
The Black Hole Clan is a race!
Among all the forces that cultivate the force of nature, the Black Hole Clan is also the least liked because they never construct houses.
Instead, they prefer to hide in pitch-black caves, and where these caves are located is unknown to anyone!”
“Living in caves, doesn’t that make them primitive people?”
Ye Tian said with a laugh, but Ye Zhirong quickly denied his statement.
“Boy, you must not underestimate the Black Hole Clan.
Although they live in pitch-black caves, their technological strength is incredibly advanced.
Their ability to create ‘Eggs of Death’ as carriers of power is a testament to their technological prowess!
However, why they would make ‘Eggs of Death’ and allow the Power of Death to spread everywhere is a question whose answer remains unknown!”
“…”
Ye Zhirong couldn’t grasp the rationale, and Ye Tian was even more perplexed.
A powerful race, why would they simply share their power with others?
It just didn’t make sense!
“Mr.
Ye, was James, whom I killed, also from the Black Hole Clan?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, and Ye Zhirong immediately nodded.
“That’s correct, James was from the Black Hole Clan, but this guy had long since left the clan, so he hadn’t learned the more profound Cultivation Techniques of the Power of Death.
It’s within reason that you killed him!”
“So he was a traitor from the Black Hole Clan—no wonder he was so weak!”
Ye Tian sighed, recalling the battle he had with James.
Although he too had been hurt and had coughed up blood from James’s blows, James’s strength was only so-so.
Compared to the other experts of the Black Hole Clan, he was nothing!
“If James was that weak, how could a strong person like Sima Feng associate with him?
And they even called each other brothers, isn’t that a bit strange?”
Ye Tian said gossipy, wanting to know the answer to this question.
Ye Zhirong also chuckled and said, “It’s not that much of a secret, really.
Within the Ye and Sima Families, the affairs between Sima Feng and James have spread.
In fact, although Sima Feng is strong, he has a penchant for the pleasures of men.
The nature of his relationship with James is ambiguous, and the two of them exchanged flirtatious glances.
It’s said that Sima Feng even taught James the Wind Flow Strength, but James lacked the aptitude and couldn’t learn it at all!”
“…”
Ye Zhirong’s words made Ye Tian feel slightly queasy.
In Ye Tian’s mind, the image of the burly James and the handsome Sima Feng interacting arose.
One seemed fragile yet was incredibly strong, while the other appeared mighty but was as weak as a chicken.
In a sense, such a partnership could be considered a perfect match!
Seeing a smile form on Ye Tian’s face, Ye Zhirong couldn’t help but say, “Boy, you shouldn’t be so relaxed!
In truth, if you hadn’t been masked when you killed James, Sima Feng would have killed you by now!
After James’s death, Sima Feng had been investigating his murderer, and only recently did he find out it was you.
However, at that time, the feet of the Sima Family were being tripped up by the Ye Family, so Sima Feng had no energy to deal with you!
This is also because Sima Feng always considered others as ants.
He knew your strength was weak and thought killing you would only take a flick of his finger, so he wasn’t in a hurry!”
Hearing Ye Zhirong say this, Ye Tian suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
It turned out that the reason he had survived until now was entirely due to his luck!
“Then, what about Tian Shisan?
Tian Shisan is from the Black Hole Clan too, right?”
Ye Tian inquired further, and Ye Zhirong responded immediately, “Of course, but Tian Shisan is nothing more than a lackey in the Black Hole Clan.
Compared to the other experts of the clan, his strength is not worth mentioning!”
“Not worth mentioning?”
Ye Tian smiled bitterly.
Back then, I fought with Tian Shisan and nearly died at his hands, and Tian Shisan’s strength was so formidable that, within the Black Hole Clan, he was merely a lackey.
So how powerful exactly was the entire Black Hole Clan?
“By the way, Mr.
Ye, the ‘Egg of Death’ created by the Black Hole Clan, after it’s absorbed, does it only grant the Power of Death?
Can’t it grant other abilities?”
Ye Tian asked again because he wanted to know whether the clairvoyant ability he had obtained was also a kind of Power of Death.
The eye mask, the crystal, and the golden horn were all artifacts unearthed from the same ancient tomb, all three artifacts belonged to the same source, so the eye mask should also be an ‘Egg of Death’ created by the Black Hole Clan…
However, this time, Ye Zhirong had no intention of informing Ye Tian of the truth!
“Kid, when will you ever be done?
Do you think I know everything?
What do you mean the power of the ‘Egg of Death’ is only the Power of Death?
How would I know!
Plus, I didn’t tell you so much just for you to criticize at will.
Whether you can fully integrate the power within your body, the Power of Death is the most crucial, which is why I explained to you in detail about the Black Hole Clan and the ‘Egg of Death’!
“…”
It seemed that Ye Zhirong indeed didn’t know any more, so Ye Tian did not press further.
Ye Tian shifted his focus to the Power of Death and asked directly, “Mr.
Ye, I understand what you mean.
The ‘Power of Death’ and the ‘Power of Life’ are inherently opposing and mutually destructive, so to merge these two completely different forces is extremely difficult!”
“That’s right!”
Ye Zhirong nodded, and then, he laid out the crystal and golden horn in front of Ye Tian.
“The Power of Death is not just antagonistic to the Power of Life.
Even the power of your Xuan Yun technique and the traditional Inner Strength are completely incompatible with it.
The Power of Death is derived from an ominous force, not only incompatible with other forces but even the human body itself!
This is why some martial artists, in their blind pursuit of strength, recklessly use the ‘Egg of Death’ and end up with their meridians completely destroyed, turning into invalids.”
Just as Ye Zhirong said, the Power of Death was a baleful force to begin with.
Therefore, Ye Tian also tried to avoid using this power unless he faced a formidable enemy and would die if he did not use this power…
And when Ye Tian had proficiently mastered the Power of Life, he simply gave up on using the Power of Death!
Now, to defeat Sima Feng, integrating the Power of Death is necessary, and at this moment, Ye Tian could no longer worry about the harm this power might cause to his body…
“But, the Power of Death does not truly bring misfortune to martial artists.
Those whose meridians are destroyed after they use the Power of Death do so because they have not fully mastered how to use it!
Kid, the same applies to you!
You still can’t fully use the Power of Death!”
Ye Zhirong pointed at Ye Tian and said, and Ye Tian silently agreed.
Indeed, in using the ‘Egg of Death’, he was not even as adept as the Rakshasa Queen and James!
“Mr.
Ye, exactly how can one fully use the Power of Death?”
Ye Tian asked seriously, while Ye Zhirong held the crystal and golden horn in his hands.
“Kid, during your fight with Sima Feng, didn’t you already embed these two items into your body?
How come they’re out now?”
Ye Tian answered, “That’s because after escaping and during healing, I found that the power of the crystal and golden horn repelled my own Inner Strength, so I forced them out of my body!”
Ye Tian was not lying, but upon hearing this, Ye Zhirong shook his head.
“Kid, if you can’t absorb it, how can you talk about using it?
How about integration?
In fact, the way to use the ‘Egg of Death’ is to let it fuse with your flesh and blood, like planting a parasite’s eggs in your body, until they completely disappear and become part of your strength!”
“…”
Although he didn’t speak, Ye Tian couldn’t help but nod his head.
Ye Tian observed that the Rakshasa Queen and James had used the ‘Egg of Death’ in such a manner, indicating that this was indeed the correct way to use it.
“Mr.
Ye, this crystal was inside my body for several months, so why, after such a long time, was the crystal still not absorbed by my flesh?”
Ye Tian asked in surprise.
This crystal had been obtained from the King of Night and had been inside his body until it was taken by the Rakshasa Queen.
But for his body to not have completely absorbed the crystal after all this time was quite strange.
Ye Zhirong laughed and said, “Kid, the Power of Death isn’t so easily absorbed!
At that time, no matter what reputation you had made for yourself, in the eyes of the crystal, you were nothing but a weakling, and there’s no way it would have been absorbed by you!”
Ye Zhirong’s words clarified Ye Tian’s confusion.
That meant that even though Ye Tian was once known as the ‘King of Night’, in truth, in the world of martial artists, he was merely a weakling…
Even the ‘Egg of Death’ looked down on Ye Tian!
