Chapter 1686: Chapter 27: Cave Heaven Expansion
The first step for people to observe the world is always color.
On the vast white sky, the gold-red thunder tides are surging and receding, the power of the Dragon God’s Sword has leveled the Jade Kunlun, turning all the Sky Islands into dust and smoke, with nothing left between heaven and earth, only pure colors surging, combining, and painting an abstract picture.
The fleet following An Jing saw this scene at first sight, all the evil demons along with the Demon Abyss were swept away, the emptiness of heaven and earth for a short time made it difficult for cultivators to discern the direction of the heavens and the earth, in a world without reference, people couldn’t even tell if they were moving forward or backward.
But then, with the contrast of vivid colors, new references, new black emerged.
Accompanied by violent, louder than thunderous great roaring, shaking, a pulsating sound like a heartbeat arose, from the distant horizon below, the place that was once ’earth’ now void of anything, the world was split in two.
A massive fissure was torn open by an inexplicable force.
Then black color spurted out from it.
It’s color.
Not light, not fog, neither is it an Art of Magic’s concealment, nor any special Spiritual Fiend.
Pure, without any other elements within, black color flowed out of the fissure, and began to dye everything.
The gold-red Dragon God’s thunder still exists, but turned black, the colors of light, electricity, Spiritual Fiend, and atmosphere before all transformed under this purer color’s infection, becoming part of the black silhouette.
The black sun shines on the black sky, a black world filled with black brightness.
Then all imagery collapsed, all turned into darkness, losing all meaning.
Yu Feng followed closely behind An Jing, he was the first True Person to respond to An Jing’s call for a counterattack, naturally the first to arrive at the Void Rift, to the Demon Abyss, witnessing Jade Kunlun being completely shattered by An Jing.
He has killed many evil demons, even many Heavenly Demons during the early period of the Era of Heavenly Collapse, Yu Feng knows the essence of Heavenly Demons, it’s a power of infection, reducing everything to demonic degeneration, it’s weariness, disappointment, surrender and compliance, he knows that as long as he sticks to his heart, adheres to his dreams and will, never crossing the boundaries of his own set code and oath, even if the Heavenly Demon captures him, at most they would kill him, but cannot make him fall.
However, upon seeing that black color, Yu Feng understood, what truly is ’demon’.
Black color began to spread in his mind, soul, and thoughts, the moment he saw it, this transcended information, even more than essence it proclaimed before the facts happened.
Proclaimed, the existence stained by it is degeneration.
No reason, no logic, no need for prerequisites, no need for reason, just seeing is degeneration, just seeing, no need for understanding, no need for compliance, as long as stained by that black, even if billions deem you to be a pure and immaculate Saint, you are already a Heavenly Demon.
Crying out in pain, Yu Feng held his head, he issued a silent roar, but the darkness had already begun in his eyes, from inside to outside, from past to present, from essence to external image, the form of the Sword Cultivator underwent drastic changes, his arm began to deform, merging with his sword, the features on his face began depress into Yuan Dong, like eye-like deep holes faintly appearing under the flesh and blood of his whole body, this is the ’Abyssal Phenomenon’ only the top Great Heavenly Demons have, undoubtedly, he is becoming, or rather, he is already a Heavenly Demon!
And it’s not just that, all the Desolate Alliance Fleet that came from the Void Rift, these bravest, most determined with resolve and perseverance, fearing neither death nor strong enemy, staunch counter-attackers, almost all without exception, merely seeing this black color, began to twist, metamorphose, being eroded by a reasonless power.
—The primordial Supreme Heart Demon, unrestrained, freely invades all power, modestly displaying it’s miniature part through it’s descendants/split-bodies/saplings/incarnations/lingering thoughts here.
—After all, how can humanity’s fantasized morals compare to the power of demonic invasion?
But can it really not compare?
Just as the black color unbridledly spread, expanded, turning everything to ’degeneration’, the trends of flow and transformation in the atmosphere, that thing called wind, suddenly took shape and power, their originally formless and intangible essence transformed into pure white, Taibai color, with the expansion of a continuously self-expanding world, a continuously spreading domain, they blew sharply like unsheathed swords.
Detached and cool wind started unknowingly, and spread widely, boundless, endless, vast wind sound shaking the eardrum, like sea tides, but this wind tide sound wasn’t born from air or sea water collision and tumbling, it emerged intertwined and mixed from autumn’s gradual silence, gold’s demise, rigorous collecting, and the severe cold of sword sharpness, finally forming that which is Zhi Jian, commanding sharpness, descending calamity, executing punishment—
[Heavenly Punishment]
The Sword Intent, sword wind from the Heavenly Punishment, surged and rampaged as the Heavenly Punishment Cave Heaven gradually unfolded, white frost climbed all over those about to demonic degenerate, and even those who have already demonic degenerated, cultivators’ faces.
Piercing coldness, fiendish qi, and the feeling of awakening stabbed into the heart that suddenly lost perception, severing the source of demonic invasion, and subsequently reviving will.
—After all, isn’t demonic invasion fantasized by Heavenly Demons inferior to the firm belief in human hearts?
“Ha—”
Yu Feng seemed to have suddenly reached the surface from suffocating depths of the sea, after exhaling, he began to breathe severely, panting, drenched in sweat, unsure if out of fear or perplexity, looking forward.
Thus, he saw, the black world, and the Taibai world opposing each other, and at the center of both worlds, there were two human figures.
They mutually drew swords, attacked, allowing white stars to blossom in black, letting black light dye into white.
The two huge worlds clashed like two giant beasts, tightly clamping together, they rolled, rotated, violently surged, throwing out all those who merely saw would be infected by those excessively vast wills, subsequently losing themselves, leaving only pure black and white between heaven and earth.
Like Taiji.
And before being thrown out, Yu Feng heard, heard a calm voice with a hint of laughter.
“——Unexpectedly, you as a Holy Demon, also learnt my Pocket World Technique!”
With this voice, all the winds sounded, howled, the light was also bright, visible yet carrying a bitter clarity, making all perceptions vivid, whether pain or joy.

And at the other side of the dark world, also silently clasped hands, let the endless yet single color flow and permeate, relegating all to void, whether despair or happiness.
