Chapter 200: 120: Night of Conflagration (Super Long Chapter)_8
Fire has never feared the night; it has always been the night that fears the flame.
...
...
Hechuan City, Land of No Light.
The tumultuous waves of the night sea in the dreamscape brought no undercurrents to the real world of the Land of No Light.
But within this expanse shrouded in darkness, the two mightiest beings had already stood tall amidst the night.
A silent confrontation began once more.
The moment he awoke, the laws emanating from the darkness overwhelmed Zhou Baiyu with an intense drowsiness.
However, it was at this very moment, with his lips and tongue bitten, Zhou Baiyu turned the wristwatch amidst the heavy onslaught of sleepiness!
A miracle descended.
The darkness began to dissipate, vast swathes of daylight suddenly appeared.
It was likely that the contest between the rule-level item and the laws themselves would carry an immense burden.
Crazes appeared on Zhou Baiyu's wristwatch, yet in the next moment, it was reinforced with an even greater power!
Absolute Moment had not faded; under Zhou Baiyu's operation, the wristwatch gained new capabilities!
When true, boundless light finally shone upon the Land of No Light... the realm began to fracture.
The enforced rule of eternal slumber from the eternal night was also dispelled at this moment.
Zhou Baiyu let out an exhilarating laugh; he had finally seen clearly the true form of the overlord of the night sea, hidden beneath the darkness yet cowering only within the light—
Merely taller than the average night demon, but without any "divine signs."
He did not utter a single mocking word.
Having endured and lain in wait for over half a year, countless people burning themselves, the preparation of two Absolute Moments, having cycled through hope, disappointment, despair, and back to hope—
Only then had he earned the chance to escape the dreamscape; no one understood better than Zhou Baiyu how terrifying the enemy before him was.
He might laugh heartily from cheating death, but he would definitely not give the eternal night any chance!
In the area gradually enveloped by light... Zhou Baiyu embarked on the final showdown with eternal night using his own flesh and blood!
The necklace of Unpredictable Dreaming had lost its luster, but the sword worn by Guang Tongchen still flashed with a cold glint!
He drew his sword and turned towards the weakened eternal night. The frailty of the Mutator was insufficient for Zhou Baiyu to kill eternal night with just a blade.
And though Absolute Moment was powerful, eternal night would certainly not afford Zhou Baiyu the opportunity to mutate!
Yet, Zhou Baiyu still charged forward.
Whether it was ripping out the spine, burning the blood, or tearing the flesh.
Whether it meant plunging into hell or succumbing to the night; he was determined to kill eternal night!
The torment endured in Night Country, the hatred and belief that had accumulated every day over the past six months, all converged at this moment into a surge of fervent emotion!
Zhou Baiyu's body once again initiated Reverse Corruption!
The red crystals emerged once more, a torrent of power surged within him!
In this moment, he returned to the state when he pulled Zhang Haoyun from her cocooned condition.
No, he delved even deeper than before.
Because this time, he was no longer protecting just one person but all who were trapped in the Land of No Light.
On the battlefield, there is always such a situation where the general charges ahead and is struck down by a powerful enemy.
At this moment, the soldiers behind might choose to dismount and surrender, and afterwards, when people talk about this battle, they will describe how the general was so cowardly, how reckless.
Zhou Baiyu thought he was that general, and he thought Jin Yi was that general too.
Facing the eternal night of dreamscape, whether it is the Absolute Moment or meticulous preparation, it's actually all reckless.
To do something that is absolutely safe is not reckless. But every breakthrough in human history has been filled with risk and crisis.
What's most needed in desperate situations is the courage to burn one's boats.
What he didn't expect was that, as he faced the eternal night alone, behind him were not soldiers dismounting in surrender... but warriors like him, with blood too hot to cool!
Thanks to these people's help, he returned to reality!
They kept their promise, and now it was his turn to bring the moon to them!
Red armor covered most of Zhou Baiyu's body. Drawing on the immense power of reverse corruption, he actually broke off the red Crystal Horn grown on his own body and clutched it like a dagger in his hand.
This was the last item he morphed into during Absolute Moment! His speed was incredibly fast, like a red lightning bolt!
He carried endless light, and charged at the king within the eternal night!
The nightmare of the eternal night found no escape and summoned the night as well.
The watch reversed the night, while the eternal night kept pouring in darkness. A bizarre sight thus appeared—
Day and night seemed no longer alternating celestial phenomena, but rather two knights lunging at each other with long spears!
Light and darkness seemed like mortal enemies, water and fire that cannot coexist!
The nightmare swept in endless darkness, bathing under the night sky, responding to Zhou Baiyu's charge.
And behind Zhou Baiyu was endless light!
The nightmare's minions were sharp, carrying darkness enough to pierce through anything. But Zhou Baiyu's figure did not stop!
In the darkness, countless emaciated and sickly faces!
The desperate and helpless pleas of a young girl in the night sky!
When he pledged to bring forth light, every scene surfaced in his mind!
At the center where light and dark alternated, Zhou Baiyu clenched his teeth and fiercely stabbed the red Crystal Horn into the body of the eternal night!
Mutated Item—Red Demon Crystal.
Mutation Effect—Once stabbed into the opponent, it releases reverse corruption destruction, leaving the opponent's body in a state of no defense, no recovery, and no negation!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, not dodging or avoiding, colliding head-on with the eternal night's claw, allowing that sharp claw to strike at his organs!
And the real fatal move, the hand wielding the Divine Weapon of Guang Tongchen, finally made a reverse swing, executing a beheading strike!
That was the last glimmer of light the eternal nighttime king saw. How faint it was, how straight, and how righteous!
A single line of white light, yet it tore through the boundless darkness and long night.
In the Land of No Light's first layer of dreamscape, the vast sea of night, like shattered glass... began to show a web-like pattern of fractures!
As the head of the nightmare of the eternal night fell to the ground, the vast dreamscape began to collapse.
Every silhouette watching in the night became illusory.
The boundary between reality and dreamscape started to blur, more and more people opened their eyes at this moment. At the end of the sea of night, no longer was there a god looking down on the ants.
But rather, a glowing sphere... resembling the bright moon.
Version 2.33, recruitment zone Land of No Light, the overlord of nightmares, the eternal nighttime king is dead.
Slayer—Pioneer Jiang Xianwu!
