"I won …" Zhou Tong's face darkened.
Although he had won, he wasn't overly excited.
He turned his head to look at his pierced arm. Black blood was still flowing out of the wound, preventing his injury from healing. The pitch-black energy was even spreading bit by bit.
Not only that, but Zhou Tong even had the misconception that the arm that was tainted by the black blood didn't seem to belong to him anymore. Some kind of power seemed to want to peel this arm from his body and even give birth to a new life.
"It really is the dark matter!" Zhou Tong sat down cross-legged and circulated his energy. The immortal qi in his body surged, completely forcing the pitch-black blood out of his body bit by bit.
He sat there cross-legged for half a month before completely expelling the dark matter from his body.
"Phew!"
When the last strand of dark matter was expelled from his body, he let out a sigh of relief.
"What a terrifying dark matter. It took me half a month to expel such a small amount of pollution!" Zhou Tong held a jade cauldron in his palm. The dark matter that had been forced out was sealed in this cauldron.
"Yes, according to the current time, this can only be considered the Dark Era." Zhou Tong thought to himself. "Actually, in the original work, Ye Fan and the others also dealt with creatures that were contaminated by the dark matter."
Black blood, gray fog, white fiend — these were the most terrifying and ominous substances. The person controlling these substances behind the scenes, or rather, some kind of power, allowed these substances to take turns dominating the world to achieve a certain goal.
The Dark Era started when the Corpse Immortal Emperor was contaminated by the black blood of the heavens. Therefore, it started a long Dark Era. Even after the Corpse Immortal Emperor was killed by the Heavenly Emperor Huang, the Dark Era didn't end.
The Dark Era only ended in the later Holy Ground era. What followed after the Dark Era was the Gray Era, which was dominated by the ominous substance, gray fog.
"Looks like I guessed wrong. The Heavenly Emperor Huang should have left this place for some time." Zhou Tong said inwardly, And after Celestial Emperor Huang left, that darkness swept over again …
"I'm afraid that in the original work, Ye Fan and the others also developed in other fragments of the Immortal Realm and began to repair the Immortal Realm. It was only when they reached the Immortal King level that they gradually came into contact with the dark matter …" Zhou Tong sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Zhou Tong's heart was unprecedentedly heavy.
Darkness had actually descended a long time ago, hundreds of thousands of years earlier than he had guessed. He probably didn't have that much time to develop.
"However, if I pretend that I didn't see it, I can be at ease for hundreds of thousands of years." Zhou Tong thought to himself.
If he could develop steadily for hundreds of thousands of years, the next time he encountered the darkness, it would be the time when the darkness expanded to the area he was in.
But now that he had seen all of this, could he really pretend that nothing had happened and just cultivate quietly like this?
"The Heavenly Emperor Huang is not here, and the darkness has descended again. Such terrifying dark matter …" Zhou Tong looked at the jade cauldron that sealed the dark matter that he had infected and then looked at his bell.
The jade cauldron contained the dark matter that Zhou Tong had forced out of his body. However, the Tyrant Bell suppressed the Dark Immortal King's physical body and primordial spirit. The dark matter inside was so terrifying that it was simply unimaginable.
"If my Tyrant Bell hadn't fused with the seven demonic stars of the Little Stone Emperor, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to suppress these things." Zhou Tong secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had integrated the seven Fiend Stars into the Hegemonic Bell. Otherwise, his Dao Confirming Artifact might have been contaminated.
"The dark matter is extremely terrifying. This is an Immortal Emperor-level matter. Although the thing in my hand has been weakened countless times, it will probably be difficult to encounter this thing next time. I have to adapt to this thing! "Zhou Tong pondered for a while before making up his mind.
He directly left this void and entered a large expanse of chaos. Then, he waved his hand and opened up a world.
This was an incomparably empty world. In terms of size, it was only the size of a star field in the Shrouding Heaven World. It wasn't considered big.
After opening up a world, Zhou Tong immediately began to set up a formation. Terrifying Great Dao symbols were engraved in this world by him.
The Dao of Formation had always been the most important thing in Zhou Tong's research. From the beginning of his cultivation, he had mastered the Secret of Nine Secrets. Later on, he had also studied various formation patterns. Especially in the Immortal Realm, he had studied the quasi-Immortal Emperor-level formation left behind by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
It could be said that the current Zhou Tong was an Immortal King-level Formation Grandmaster!
As he set up the formation, the space of the entire world became more and more solid. In the end, an extremely terrifying suppressive force appeared in the void. With this suppressive force, even a True Immortal wouldn't be able to fly in this world, nor would they be able to damage a single blade of grass or tree in this world.
One could imagine how stable the space of this world was.
After doing all this, Zhou Tong made up his mind and directly cut off one of his arms.
"Boom!"
Then, his entire body shone. Endless immortal qi surged. His severed arm was reborn, and his body was once again perfect.
"If you want to adapt to the dark matter, the easiest way is to let the dark matter corrode you!" Zhou Tong's eyes carried a trace of determination, "I will let the dark matter corrode this arm and corrode it into a dark body that is exactly the same as me. Kill him!"
Zhou Tong forcefully injected the dark matter that he had forced out of his body into the arm.
"Crack!"
Immediately, the sound of flesh and blood wriggling and the sound of bones breaking rang out. The arm that Zhou Tong had cut off seemed to be reborn. The flesh and bones were constantly wriggling.
"Too slow. How long do I have to cultivate it? Dark Immortal King, it's your turn! " Zhou Tong took out the Tyrant Bell with a wave of his hand. He activated the seven demonic stars on the bell and continuously refined the dark matter from the Dark Immortal King's body and primordial spirit.
Soon, black mist was released from the Tyrant Bell, merging into the arm bit by bit. As the dark matter merged, the arm's speed of proliferation became faster and faster.
Thirty years later, when Zhou Tong completely refined the Dark Immortal King to death, the body of darkness was also completed.
"Dark matter, truly a terrifying thing …" Looking at the body of darkness that was exactly the same as him, Zhou Tong sighed inwardly.
"However, just in case, and in order to further increase my strength, it's time to send out the next True Fate!" Zhou Tong muttered to himself for a moment, and then looked at the remaining True Fates that hadn't been sent out yet.
Qilin, Phoenix, Gu, Heavenly Horned Ant.
"The phoenix's nirvana divine flame is somewhat effective against the dark matter, so it's better to keep it by my side for the time being just in case. I can't let it out yet, so I can only choose from the Qilin, Gu, and Heavenly Horned Ant. "Zhou Tong's eyes swept over these three True Fates, and then landed on the Heavenly Horned Ant.
"This time, I'll use the Heavenly Horned Ant!" Zhou Tong activated the Reincarnation Mirror. With a sweep of light, the Heavenly Horned Ant's True Fate instantly turned into light, disappearing from the Ten Heavenly Passage Divine Ring.
"Next, it's time to adapt to the dark matter!" Zhou Tong directly separated a portion of his primordial spirit and entered the body of darkness, allowing the dark matter to corrode his primordial spirit.
This was an extremely dangerous life and death challenge. Once he failed, he might fall into darkness.
For a long period of time, Zhou Tong continuously roared and fought. He did everything he could to resist the invasion of the dark matter, doing everything he could to adapt to this thing.
