Chen Ran gasped heavily, and the humanoid black cloud in front of him showed no signs of exhaustion.

"What the hell are you, and why do you have such a powerful dark power?" asked Chen Ran aloud.

The black cloud let out a deep voice: "You ask me what it is? I am darkness, with a steady stream of dark power, how can you compare?"

"Dark ......" Chen Ran was a little confused, but he figured out a key point, "Since you are the darkness, and I am the one who manipulates the darkness, I will definitely be able to manipulate you!"

He used the control ability that the Dark Crystal Nucleus brought to him to try to control the black clouds.

The black cloud trembled a little, indicating that Chen Ran had played a role in its control. It's just that this dark power is too strong, and with Chen Ran's current ability, he can't completely control it.

"Despicable humans, you don't deserve the ability to manipulate the power of the Origin!" the black cloud let out a roar.

"Origin power?" Chen Ran's train of thought gradually opened. He knew something about the power of the Origin, which was everywhere in the Shadow Continent and took on many forms. For example, the power of the flame origin, the power of the ice and snow origin, and so on. The ability to regain its power is by absorbing the power of the origin in the air.

The black cloud in front of him seems to be a condensation of the power of the dark source, and it has wisdom and spirituality, which has not happened since ancient times.

Chen Ran is just guessing, but it seems that only this explanation is the most plausible.

"I'm so stupid to actually fight against the Dark Origin...... Chen Ran laughed secretly, he turned into a cloud of black qi and drilled directly into the huge dark power.

At this moment, he himself is the force of darkness, how can the same kind of power hurt himself?

Anyone else at this moment would have been defeated by Black Cloud, after all, even the Templar Assassins could not help it. But only Chen Ran was an exception, and the entire Shadow Continent couldn't find a second person with dark abilities.

Heiyun saw Chen Ran rushing towards him, and finally began to panic: "My dark power is stronger than yours, why can't I defeat you!"

"It's the same power of darkness, how can it be strong or weak, it's just that your strength is a little more. Chen Ran had already arrived in front of the black cloud, and the black qi he turned into entwined the black cloud.

The black cloud can't help Chen Ran, and Chen Ran naturally can't attack it with the power of darkness, but Chen Ran can absorb it, and he wants to reabsorb the black cloud into his body.

"No!" the black cloud kept roaring and struggling, but it couldn't stop Chen Ran from absorbing.

"The Dark Crystal Nucleus gives me the ability to control the darkness, this is the ability to manipulate the darkness, you are just a condensation of the dark source, how can you escape my grasp!"

Chen Ran swallowed the black cloud into his body again, and the black cloud was still struggling, continuing to release the majestic power of darkness. Chen Ran had already had an experience, and this time he wanted to directly control the black cloud and let the black cloud merge and assimilate with himself.

The dark crystal nucleus in the dantian kept flashing with a ghostly light, and something that even Chen Ran didn't expect happened, the black cloud was sucked into the dark crystal nucleus little by little, and the dark crystal nucleus became more and more blurry and illusory.

When the black cloud all fused with the dark crystal nucleus, the dark crystal nucleus began to melt, forming wisps of strange power, which merged with Chen Ran's body.

It was a wonderful transformation process, and Chen Ran had a feeling of dominating the darkness, and his manipulation of the power of darkness reached its peak.

When the changes in his body were completed, Chen Ran found that the dark crystal nucleus was gone, but he did not lose his dark ability and made his power stronger.

When he fought with the black cloud, the huge dark power of the fusion was still spreading, so he dispersed this power as soon as possible.

The Weasel poked its head out of the ground, and if he hadn't fled underground, there would have been no bones left.

"Squeak!" the shrinking silver ferret called, but Chen Ran was still immersed in his own world.

The dark crystal nucleus fused with his own body, which was something that had never happened before. If he died, wouldn't he be left with a dark crystal nucleus?

There are all doubts in my heart, but at least Chen Ran has benefited. His strength is even stronger, and he will feel exhausted when facing the evil shadow, Gong Annihilation and others before. But now, he can definitely fight for a long time without losing, or even defeat them. Chen Ran felt that he had touched the threshold of the Great Assassin, but he was still a little close.

The Great Assassin is the pinnacle of his ability understanding, and can assimilate the Life Nucleus with his body for a certain amount of time, allowing him to gain even greater power. Now Chen Ran and the dark crystal nucleus have been permanently fused, and the difference is only the understanding of the power of darkness, I believe that soon, he will also be able to reach the level of a great assassin.

It's just that even Chen Ran himself would not have thought that he was the first person to eat crabs, and the secret of the origin would soon circulate, and more and more people would touch the threshold of the great assassin, and the prosperity of an assassin would come soon......

"Squeak!" the shrinking silver ferret suddenly shouted eagerly.

Chen Ran sobered up from his thoughts, and he realized that there was spring water flowing under his feet.

As if under the influence of the power of darkness, the spring water continued to bubble out, covering the entire underground space. The current waterline is just up to Chenran's calf, but it is still rising. If it goes on like this, it will soon overwhelm Chen Ran's whole person.

"You go up first, and I'll get to the ground by the water. Chen Ran said, he did this when he was in the Abyss Prison.

The shrinking silver ferret shook its head, it hugged Chen Ran's legs, wanting to stay with Chen Ran.

Chen Ran picked up the shrinking silver weasel and waited patiently for the waterline to rise.

Just an accident happened, and the water became turbulent, gradually forming a whirlpool. Chen Ran and the Shrinking Silver Weasel were completely submerged in the water, and instead of carrying them to the ground as expected, the current carried them into the spring, leading them to the source of the spring.

The water is fierce, and Chen Ran uses the power of darkness in the water to create a space to breathe, but he can't stop his body and is still being carried forward.

I don't know how long it took, but the water slowed down, and Tatsuran felt like he had been washed into a larger lake. Buoyancy carried him and the Weasel up until they finally surfaced.

Chen Ran took a big breath of fresh air, and the sight in front of him made him stunned, because he was surrounded by an endless lake, and he couldn't see the land at a glance.

The "squeak" shrinking silver ferret was close to Chen Ran's side, and it was very scared.

Chen Ran rubbed its head to soothe it, at this moment the sun was rising, but it could barely distinguish the direction. But the rising of the sun means that a whole night has passed, and they must be in a hurry.

"Go east!" I don't know what this place is, but it's certainly not wrong to go east.

Chen Ran took the shrinking silver ferret to fly in the air, flying all the way to the east, and after a while, he saw a lot of fishing boats, and there were fishermen on them.

He quickly flew down and landed on one of the fishing boats.

The fisherman was taken aback: "You...... Where are you from?"

"I was swept here by the current, so I wanted to ask what this place was. ”

The fisherman looked like he had seen a ghost, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and almost fell into the lake.

"Don't be afraid, big brother, I really don't have any malice. Chen Ran hurriedly comforted and tried to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals.

The fisherman calmed down a little and said, "This is Xuanwu Lake, how did you get washed over?"

No wonder the fisherman was frightened, it turned out that this place was the famous Xuanwu Lake.

Chen Ran sighed, but fortunately he saw the fisherman, which means that this place should not be far from the land. If he is washed deeper into Xuanwu Lake, he may be attacked by fierce beasts.

"Big brother farewell!" Chen Ran took the shrinking silver ferret and flew again, the direction he came all the way was not wrong, and he could reach the shore by continuing east.

Just as he was in the air, he saw a flotilla of boats heading towards the fishing boats from a distance. There were more than a dozen of them, and the ships were very large, comparable to those of the regular sailors. It's just that the color of these ships is pitch black, and the flags on the ships are fluttering, and there is a big "purple" word on the flag.

The fishermen also saw the dark fleet, and they didn't care about fishing, so they hurriedly fled in the boat, and warned the other companions as they fled: "The bandits are coming, everyone flee!"

When Chen Ran saw the purple flag, he thought of the Zimeng, because the headquarters of the Zimeng is in the Xuanwu Lake, but the fishermen are so afraid, it seems that this Zimeng must have done a lot of bad things......
