Xiang Shaoyun had awakened. However, he still couldn't see anything, not even his own hands. Even so, he had regained his willpower. He was no longer giving up on life, and instead, he vowed to think of a solution to free himself from his current predicament.

”Since this place can turn everything into darkness, it must contain the power of darkness. If I can comprehend the profundity of darkness, I might be able to figure out what's going on here,” Xiang Shaoyun concluded upon regaining his clarity of mind.

He then started recovering, regaining his vitality and clarity of mind. Soon, he circulated his cultivation method and absorbed the dark energy in his surroundings. His dark star grew at a rapid speed. Upon absorbing the dark energy, he noticed its immense purity and density. He had only absorbed a bit, yet the energy in his dark star had become far more plentiful.

One ought to know that he was already a second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm pract.i.tioner, and his stars possessed a rather ma.s.sive storage capacity. Thus, the density of the dark energy here amazed him. He increased his absorption speed, increasing his dark energy again and again. At the same time, he started chanting the Desolation mantra, trying his best to comprehend the truth behind darkness.

Darkness, something capable of bringing fear and hopelessness, a power generally regarded as evil. In truth, it was one's heart that was evil, not the power of darkness. Darkness was capable of blocking the light, obstructing one's sight, and corroding all life. How should he survive amid darkness? How should he gain the ability to control the power of darkness?

As Xiang Shaoyun had never cultivated dark elemental battle techniques, he was rather unfamiliar with controlling the power of darkness. Fortunately, it was at this time that he noted the activity within his blood, as if his bloodline possessed some sort of affinity with the power of darkness.

Thus, Xiang Shaoyun activated his bloodline power, channeling the dark energy around him into his bloodline as he attempted to form a resonance. Sure enough, the moment he activated his bloodline, the dark energy directly poured into his blood, causing his blood to boil. It was as if his bloodline power had become much thicker.

The devils grew by absorbing devilish energy, and similar to astral energy, devilish energy had numerous properties. As one of the Four Paramount Devil Clans, the Imperial Nether Clan absorbed dark elemental devilish energy, which was also the source of their trait of invisibility. With the power of darkness, they could stay invisible for a longer time.

At that realization, Xiang Shaoyun grew excited. He channeled a ma.s.sive amount of dark energy into his blood, cleansing his bloodline and slowly reaching for the profundity of darkness.

Darkness was lonesome, darkness was profound, darkness was endless... Numerous thoughts surfaced in his mind.

During this time he was blinded, those were exactly the feelings he had been experiencing. Suddenly, he touched the edge of the profundity of darkness. Only a thin layer of blockage stopped him from comprehension.

Although thin, the blockage was stubborn and refused to move aside, causing him to be rather gloomy. Fortunately, his trait of invisibility seemed to have merged completely with darkness, while his eyes seemed to have also adapted to his environment, allowing him to regain his sight. He finally understood that he hadn't been blinded. He had merely been fully shrouded in darkness to the point he couldn't see anything, getting the impression that he was blind.

Now, through absorbing the dark energy around him and strengthening his bloodline, he was able to merge with the power of darkness around him. It granted his senses the ability to interact with his surroundings.

Xiang Shaoyun's mood improved greatly after regaining his sight. Instead of thinking about leaving, he calmed his emotions and continued absorbing the dark energy around him. The dark energy here was incredibly pure. It would be hard to find a source of dark energy like this anywhere else. In a sense, this was the truest power of darkness.
