Chapter 17: Nothingness

Boundless darkness and boundless coldness filled the whole world, there was not a trace of light, not a trace of sound, but in the center of the world, there was a small sapling rooted in a cloud of thunder, emitting a faint green light.

A small figure huddled under the sapling, shivering, as if the flame of life would be extinguished at any moment without the green light of the sapling.

"Wake up, wake up. ”

In the darkness of infinite silence, suddenly a faint but thunderous voice resounded throughout the world.

This voice kept repeating and exploding, like a thunderstorm that shook the world, alerting the world.

The trembling figure seemed to be awakened by this sound, and slowly began to move, and his eyes slowly opened, and the moment he opened his eyes, he looked at the world around him with a look full of confusion and pain.

"It hurts, where am I?

When the figure opened its eyes, countless memories flooded back, and gradually the figure began to understand who he was.

"Where is this? Didn't I get killed by Qiantang Jun? ”

"Hey, no! Isn't this little sapling a building tree, and this thunder light, isn't it a thunder seal! Where is this? How can I be here?"

The moment he saw Jianmu seedlings and Lei Yin, Li Chong knew what kind of underworld it was when it was impossible here, even if he died, it was impossible to bring Jianmu and Lei Yin to the underworld and take root here.

"You're awake!"

Just as Li Chong was thinking, a voice without the slightest emotion faintly appeared in Li Chong's ears.

"Who are you? Where is this? Why am I here?"

In an instant, Li Chong looked around vigilantly, wanting to know who the person who spoke was and where this was.

"I am you, this is your world. ”

A faint voice sounded again.

"My world?ah! I know, it's you! it's you!"

Hearing this voice, Li Chong was puzzled and immediately shouted excitedly. This voice is too familiar, and Li Chong can't help but be excited, this is the slashing knife that he thinks about at night.

After this incident, Li Chong knew that he needed strength, more powerful power, in the face of this world of immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons, only strong strength, stronger strength is the right way, is the royal way. In order to face everything in this world more strongly, to pursue everything you want, to do everything you want to do.

If you don't have the strength, then everything is a dream flower, and even if you get it, you can't protect it.

"Do you really know?"

Ren Ran was an emotionless voice, this time with the voice, a man in a white robe, plump as jade, eyes like stars, appeared from the darkness, his body revealed indifference and remoteness, and his dark and deep eyes revealed the temperament of seeing the world as nothing.

Looking at the figure that came out of the darkness, Li Chong's expression was shocked, is this his own slashing knife!

"Can you tell me your name?"

Looking at the man, Li Chong was shocked and asked the question he wanted to know the most. You need strength, and only by asking his name can you start to understand it, and you can get the greatest strength to complete everything you want to do.

"My name, why do you want to know?"

Hearing Li Chong's inquiry, the man's expression did not fluctuate at all, his dark eyes looked at Li Chong, and he asked lightly in an unchanging tone.

"Because I need strength, I need great power, I need the power to be proud of the world!"

In the face of this man's questioning, Li Chong's eyes were firm and roared loudly, not only to him but also to himself.

"Oh, power!? Is this really what you need power for?"

Looking at Li Chong, the man said softly as if he was questioning, and his dark eyes looked directly at Li Chong, but his tone was indifferent, but there was a deep meaning that could not be refused.

"Then why should I give you strength?!"

"The original intention of needing strength? Yes? Why do I want to gain power? In order to survive in Wu Zetian's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty? In order to see the powerful strength of Buddhism and Taoism? In order to be proud of the world? In order to follow the footsteps of the primeval warriors?, yes? No? No? But what am I for?"

For a while, countless why they were entangled with Li Chong, questioned Li Chong, tortured Li Chong's heart, countless questions arose, and countless answers were quickly rejected. Countless problems are tangled together like twine, and there is no way to solve them.

When Li Chong frantically hesitated, the world seemed to become darker and colder, and there were vibrations and shaking.

The man ignored Li Chong, who looked like he was crazy in the distance, and just stood there and watched quietly. The expression is indifferent and indifferent, without a trace of emotion, which makes people unable to see what mood they are, and they don't pay attention to the changes in this world.

Li Chong in the distance became more and more entangled, more and more confused, more and more crazy, and there seemed to be a trace of black qi on his body, if this continues, there will definitely be demons in his heart, and when the demons are full of cultivation, he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover.

"Slippery"

Suddenly, a thunderbolt mixed with a trace of green qi flashed from the sapling in the distance, and the calligraphy in Li Chong's arms spontaneously combusted without wind, turning into a cloud of righteous qi and submerging into the green qi.

In the dark sky, this green qi became brighter and brighter, flashing with thunder and rising in a diffuse manner, and began to change, gradually evolving into four vigorous and simple characters.

"Determined to seek the truth, not afraid of hardships"

The four big characters exude a strong sense of righteousness, like four small suns illuminating the whole world.

At this time, the expression of the man who was originally calm and calm also changed slightly, and he looked up at the four big characters. There was something thoughtful in his expression.

"倏"

In the man's eyes, four big characters exuding a heroic righteousness slammed into Li Chong's body. Expel countless black gases. There is immeasurable light from the body. Like an ancient god who has awakened.

"Roar"

Suddenly, a long roar of madness resounded through the world, and cracked stones pierced the air.

After the roar, Li Chong, who was originally crazy, gradually calmed down, his eyes returned to clarity, became more determined, and his divine light shone.

"There's no why, because I need strength, I need strength enough to protect myself, to protect the people I want to protect, because I need great strength to do what I want to do. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I know that only a strong force can make it happen, and I can protect it.

So there's no why, because I need to.

I don't need so many whys, in the face of danger, I need strong strength, cut down hard, use my strength to cut a path that is completely my own, and that's enough. ”

At this time, Li Chong's expression was resolute, and his eyes were firm, like a sword out of the sheath, and like a god who looked at heaven and earth. lightly swore his oath, answered the man's question, and his tone was firm and majestic, full of indomitable spirit.

"The vast world, the vast sky, I seek the unhindered surname, the pinnacle of life, should be opened up with great wisdom, fearlessness, and great strength, to pursue. ”

Looking at this heaven and earth, Li Chong made a loud voice, like a flood bell and a big Lu, shaking the world and declaring his oath.

At the same time, his eyes looked directly at the man, fearless, fearless, and said loudly.

"So I need your strength, I need you to fight side by side with me, to pursue, to open up. ”

"Boom"

As soon as Li Chong's words fell, the heavens and the earth shook, and suddenly this heaven and earth were like a big sky hanging in the air, bursting with immeasurable light.

The original darkness and the original coldness were instantly dispelled, and the original shaking no longer existed, becoming more stable.

Seeing that the world had become infinitely brighter, the man's eyes were shining, and his joy flashed, and then he returned to his indifferent expression and slowly approached Li Chong.

"You know what? We are afraid of the darkness and yearn for the light, if you hesitate and are depressed, the world will be dark, it will be cold, if you are happy and determined, the world will become bright, and if we want to make this world bright, we will completely surrender our power to you, and we will give you everything.

And what you are going to do, why you are gaining power, what is your purpose in gaining power, we don't need to know, because we believe in you completely, we obey you. Your will is our will, and the direction you are going is the goal we must strive for.

And you just have to trust us, complete trust, trust to fight side by side with you, trust everything you have to us.

You know what? We've been waiting for you for a long, long time, and we're eager to fight you, we're hungry for your trust. ”

The man approached slowly, and every step was like stepping on the node of heaven and earth, with a strange charm, and the faint words came out of his mouth with a firmness, vicissitudes, and infinite trust.

With the man's words, many figures appeared from the void, and the man rushed towards Li.

Looking at these figures, Li Chong's heart was shocked, these are all slashing knives, they are all slashing swords. They are all the figures of the slashing knives in the Grim Reaper.

The man walked up to Li Chong, his eyes were no longer deep and silent, but looked at Li Chong with a burning light.

"Li Chong, can you trust us completely, and entrust us with everything you have?"

Hearing this voice, looking at the man and the countless slashing knives behind him, a determined voice sounded.

"You are with you all that I have, and you can use my power as you please, but I also need your help. Fight alongside me. ”

"If you are cowardly, you will fail, and if you retreat, you will die, Li Chong, take us to fight, fight with indomitable progress, we don't want darkness and coldness, don't be lonely, we need to fight for conquest. ”

"In this world of gods and demons, I will fight side by side with you, and I will deliver everything to you in this world. ”

In front of all the slashing knives, Li Chong swore loudly, and the sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the world.

As this voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, Li Chong gradually broke away from that mysterious world, opened his eyes, and began to wake up.

At the moment of awakening, an indifferent voice echoed in my mind.

"Remember my name" Nothingness One " "

————————————————————————————————

The moment he woke up, Li Chong was excited, and finally knew the name of the slashing knife, and he could finally solve it.

"Nothingness One"

"Let me fight side by side with you! Let this world of gods and demons tremble for you!"

Li Chong, who was blessed by misfortune, was in a good mood, his strength finally improved, and his mood was greatly improved. I found myself lying in a col not far from Dongting Lake, and it seemed that someone had thrown it out of Dongting Lake.

The injuries on his body were also healed by Jianmu's innate Otogi Qi, but the teacher's handbook turned into a ball of flying ashes. remembered that at a critical time, the teacher's notebook rescued him several times, and this kindness made Li Chong extremely grateful.

Feeling the powerful power of his body, he felt the battle intent in his heart, looking at Dongting Lake, his eyes were full of hatred, everything that Dongting Dragon Palace had done to him, he must take it back with his own hands. It's not to prove anything, but to let people know that whatever they lose will be taken back with their own hands.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it's not too late for a villain to take revenge from morning to night, I'm not a gentleman, but I'm going to be a villain today.

Didn't Qiantang Jun go to save the dragon girl and kill the dragon son of Jinghe? I killed this old dragon and rescued the dragon son.

In this way, you can not only take revenge, but also take the opportunity to get close to the Dragon King of Jinghe. Just planned to stop the journey to the west. ”

Looking at Dongting Lake, I kept planning in my heart.

Now that he has learned the first solution, his combat power can match Taiyi Sanxian, and he has the strength to fight in the face of the gods and demons of the Journey to the West, you must know that even Sun Monkey is just the realm of Taiyi Sanxian, but people have learned ** Xuangong, plus it is a natural beast, and its combat power is monstrous, far beyond the same level, but the realm is only similar to himself.

If he can be promoted to the ground level and then find the essence blood of the ancient divine beast, then he may not have the strength to fight with the monkey.

But now Li Chong didn't dare to fight with the monkeys, because it was purely looking for abuse.

However, borrowing the powerful ability of the Slashing Sword to deal with the Qiantang Dragon King with the same realm strength is full of confidence.

Just when Li Chong was planning things, suddenly there was a thunder in the heavens and the earth, and the huge waves of Dongting Lake were monstrous, gradually producing a huge whirlpool, constantly swallowing the water of Dongting Lake, as if some ancient giant beast was about to spit out.

All of a sudden, lightning and thunder roared over the entire Dongting Lake, the sky collapsed, the valley and the earth were shaken, and the beasts in the mountains trembled with fear from this terrifying power, and did not dare to move in the slightest.

Bursts of clouds and smoke poured upwards in the huge whirlpool, forming a huge white cloud.

In an instant, there was a giant dragon more than 1,000 feet long, with lightning-like eyes, blood-red tongue, scales like cinnabar, and mane like flames, facing countless thunderbolts and lightning from the whirlpool to the sky, flying up into the white clouds, showing teeth and claws in the clouds, and the incomparable power of the carrier flew straight into the distance.

Looking at this terrifying dragon, Li Chong didn't have to think about it to know that this was Qiantang Jun, and this time he must have gone to Jinghe to rescue Princess Dongting.

Looking at the dragon that was flying away, Li Chong sneered in his heart.

"This old dragon is used to being arrogant and domineering in the countryside, and he dares to fly to the Chang'an area like this. When the time comes, it will definitely cause boundless killing, it is really forgivable for sin, and you can't live for your own sin, and now is your time of death. ”

Li Chong, who sneered, stepped on his feet, and his body shot straight in the direction of the old dragon like a sharp arrow. This is a great opportunity, and Li Chong is unwilling to give it up.
