The Eternal Night World (origin of dark creatures).
On the land, the yin wind howled.
This was a world of perpetual darkness, the air filled with dense dark spiritual energy and omnipresent dark matter.
Above the sky, dark clouds were dense, and as red thunderclouds collided, the void twisted, with terrifying lightning leaping and flashing within.
In this dark world, even the lightning was dark red.
The thunderclouds here were all red, seemingly having absorbed some mysterious substance. As they collided, lightning snakes writhed in the clouds, and occasionally red lightning struck the earth.
The deeper the color of the thunderclouds, the more terrifying the lightning within. The deepest colored thunderclouds contained lightning that could directly shatter the void.
And this red lightning was also one of the few light sources in this world.
Here, it rained incessantly. Countless streams of water gathered on the land, eventually flowing into the rifts that split the Eternal Night land into countless pieces.
The earth's rifts were bottomless, containing terrifying unknowns.
And on these massive fragments of land, there were continuous mountain ranges reaching ten thousand feet high, within which slumbered countless powerful auras.
There were also some relatively smaller land fragments, containing low mountain ranges, vast plains, and ruined buildings. Within them moved creatures relatively weak to this world.
And at this moment
On a land fragment that was less than one-millionth of the entire Eternal Night World, but actually over twenty thousand square meters, a human squad was desperately trying to break through a gray-white mountain range.
This squad consisted of five members, all of whom were above B-class powerhouses. Among them was a Taoist priest, and the other four were elementalists specializing in water, ice, fire, and strength.
At the summit of the mountain, over twenty dark winged dragons with wingspans of five to six meters were spewing black flames from their mouths, fiercely attacking the five-person squad.
These winged dragons ranged from B-class to C-class in aura. The dark flames they spewed had extremely corrosive properties, and with the movement of their wings, they would condense the dark spiritual energy in the air into sharp spikes, engulfing the squad.
"Team leader! Our spiritual energy is running out, cast the lightning spell quickly!"
The water-element awakened one was a blue-haired woman in her thirties. She yelled while blushing, controlling the rainwater on the ground to form a water wall, blocking in front of the team.
Beside her stood a youth with silver-dyed messy hair and a cold expression.
The moment the water wall formed, the silver-haired youth quickly placed his palm on the water wall, activating his ice elemental abilities and freezing the water wall into thick, solid ice to block the attack of the dark spikes and the burning of the dark flames.
However, the dark flames were extremely corrosive, and the ice wall was quickly melted by the dark flames. He immediately used his abilities to re-solidify it, and his spiritual energy was also rapidly depleting.
"Hurry up and cast it! I can't hold on much longer!" The red-haired fire elementalist was a burly man with a buzz cut. He punched out a ball of flame, burning several nearby C-class winged dragons into charcoal, panting as he said.
He was using the most basic Flame Fist, its power similar to Uchiha's Great Fireball Technique. Clearly, with his current spiritual energy, he could no longer unleash advanced fire elemental abilities.
The strength-type elementalist was even more muscular than the fire user, his muscles bulging. He was responsible for defending the rear.
After a long and arduous battle, he was also exhausted. After sending a winged dragon flying with a punch from his spiritual energy-infused fist, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
The winged dragons attacking from the flanks were the most numerous, and he bore the greatest pressure.
"My spiritual energy and divine sense can only last for one more lightning spell. This time, we must break through this mountain. This mountain has a large amount of sensor stones, which are related to national destiny. We must take them back even if we die!"
The last person to speak was the Taoist priest, the team leader. He was in his forties, with long hair, but he had lost his usual graceful demeanor. His hair was messy, and he looked extremely disheveled.
Whether they were cultivators or elementalists, there was a limit to the number of spiritual energy recovery potions they could take daily due to saturation. They had been fighting all the way, and although they still had spiritual energy recovery pills, they were no longer effective on the body in a short period.
And the talismans carrying various lightning spells could only last for three hours in this dark world before being quickly eroded by the dark matter. Even with sealed packaging, they could only extend the time by a certain amount. They had been fighting until now, and the talismans were long gone.
Moreover, the pale red thunderclouds in the sky had already gathered, and red lightning would soon strike. There was no time for a leisurely rest.
With this thought, the Taoist priest stepped on the Big Dipper formation, brandished his copper coin sword, and began chanting: "Mother of Lightning, Father of Thunder, descend swiftly with divine power, break all evil with me, boom boom boom boom boom, I invoke the Supreme Elder Lord, by urgent decree, haste!"
As the incantation was uttered, all the spiritual energy within him poured out. Under the control of his divine sense, it floated above the winged dragon swarm and then transformed into a pillar of lightning, descending with a roar among the winged dragons, instantly turning five winged dragons into ashes.
Under the effect of the lightning spell, the dense dark spiritual energy was purified by the spell, becoming pure light spiritual energy, which was quickly divided among them, and their spiritual energy was slightly restored!
"Brothers, there are thirteen left, let's crush them with the Taoist!"
After casting the last lightning spell, the Taoist priest's nose bled from the excessive strain on his divine sense.
But he didn't care at all. He let out a roar, using his essence blood and the slightly recovered spiritual energy to activate his life-bound magical treasure, a three-foot-long hiltless sword, and once again decapitated a winged dragon.
The remaining four elementalists also began to gather their spiritual energy.
And in the present world
After adding Yang Chen as a friend, Uchiha took the black cat back to training ground number five.
The reason he added Yang Chen as a friend was mainly his interest in the goat, Shan Yang Er Hei. As his strength increased, he needed other ways to obtain energy points, and hunting D-class dark creatures was a good option.
With Lightning Release, which was highly effective against dark creatures, and numerous Lightning Release ninjutsu, killing D-class dark creatures was as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs, and it also allowed him to gain combat experience.
After all, actions like directly firing Gatling guns at dark creatures, as they did in the military zone, were not suitable for use in urban areas.
As for going to the military zones in other cities to clear out dark creatures
E
Note: You can learn the Summoning Technique only after obtaining a summoned beast!]
For a mere one hundred energy points, Uchiha did not hesitate to click on "Learn."
Thinking of Jiraiya's Reverse Summoning, which took him to Frog Village, he wondered if he would be teleported to some immortal realm if he performed it in reverse.
Uchiha couldn't help but get excited. He used Shadow Clone again and allocated 300 energy points to it to deal with potential crises.
With a bang, the clone appeared beside him.
"Go!" Uchiha said, "Try to tame the spirit beast before you come back!"
After speaking, he bit his thumb and stood beside the clone, ready to smear blood at any time.
The clone nodded, then began to form hand seals:
"Wei – Shen – You – Xu – Hai! Reverse Summoning Technique!"
As the hand seals were completed, the clone raised its palm, and Uchiha smeared blood from his thumb onto its palm.
The palm slapped the ground, and dense runes spread outwards from the clone as the center. Then, the clone disappeared from its original location.
The next moment, the clone appeared in a mysterious space, falling from the sky onto a large rock.
The clone slowly stood up, looking at the scene before it with a bewildered expression.
In front, six black creatures resembling pterosaurs from the dinosaur era were fiercely attacking five people led by a Taoist priest.
[First: Don't ask why the Taoist priest didn't use lightning to recover and then used lightning again, because lightning spells require divine sense coordination!]
[Second: Don't ask why the thunderclouds are red, that will be explained later!]
[Third: Don't ask why dark matter disappears in sunlight, and why a machine with ultraviolet light isn't used to preserve the talismans. This is an elemental novel, does sunlight only contain ultraviolet light?]
[Fourth: Don't ask why the Eternal Night World is like this, that will be explained later!]
[Fifth: All the points of contention have been addressed. If you find anything unreasonable, please point it out, and I will try to make it work, as the setting of a world cannot be explained in a few words.]
[Sixth: Don't say I'm short, do you not know how much I update per day (winking face).]
[Seventh: If you think the Taoist incantations are lame, make up a new one on the spot. If yours is better, I'll change mine!]
