Jin Rou didn't dilly dally and moved forward, not minding the heaviness of this place. The canyon was more scarier compared to the surroundings of the Death Island. Here, you could hear beast howls out of nowhere and the small voices of those who died indignantly.
If it was another person, they would have been scared already and ran with their tail between their legs. Remember, Lunatic had tried to challenge this place in the past. Out of all the legendary existences during that time, he was the most brave of all. So just imagine, what horror did he experience here to ran away with serious injuries?
Jin Rou walked off into a tight space, only a single person could fit in. He walked at his own slow pace as if he was taking his time to study the grounds.
There were so many symbols on the wall. All of them were emitting a dark aura.
After walking for two minutes, he finally reached the place after the tight space. It was a ancient tree with its massive size. It looked like a castle that was made of wood, looking so intimidating and all.
The ancient tree had lived for hundred million of years now, serving someone. And by now, it had already accumulated so much dark energy that it became the true source.
"You will come out or I will do it instead?" Jin Rou shouted with a commanding tone, "It's useless hiding."
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that you'll be visiting my humble abode." Then, an old man with a very normal appearance appeared. He looked like your typical muscular grandpa who looked handsome enough most women fall in love with him.
If you take multiple glances at this old man, you wouldn't think that he was the very source of darkness.
"Looks like you know that I'm coming." Jin Rou smirked and said, "Well then, it will be less trouble of of saying so much."
"Indeed, I know that His Majesty Jin Rou is coming here." The old man smiled, "You want to destroy us, right?"
The old man didn't filter any words and directly said what Jin Rou wanted to hear.
"Un. You have been terrorizing the world for ages and ages now. It's time to give this world a total cleansing." Jin Rou blurted out.
"Terrorizing?" The old man couldn't help but chuckle, "As far as I remembered, us in the darkness have been so lying low for almost seven generations now. Terrorizing? That's too much, Your Majesty."
"Lying low yet you are slowly trying to influence people? You have given Endless River a dark energy to consume." Jin Rou retorted.
"They have asked for that and I just want to help them." The old man sighed and answered, "It's not my fault that they became like that. It's their choice, not mine."
Jin Rou used his eyes to identify lies. However, he couldn't detect anything. It just meant that the other party wasn't lying.
"No need to use that eyes, Your Majesty." The old man chuckled, "This little overlord isn't going to tell any lie knowing you can filter the truth from lies."
The old man had a title of Dark Overlord. By the way he acted and talked, you couldn't really determine that he's a devil incarnate who wanted to devour everything with his darkness. He appeared more scholarly and refined, as if an emperor of eons.
Jin Rou was very wary of this old man. Because though he knew that he was still stronger, there's an uneasiness in his heart that couldn't be stabled.
The overlord paused for a while and continued, "Besides, I suggest you to back off, Your Majesty. I have been living my life for billions of years now, I am at the same generation with your grandparents. So you should know that it wouldn't be easy hunting me down."
"…" Jin Rou didn't know what to say. Indeed, out of all the people he encountered except his family, this old man was the strongest. Even the transcendence and stardao he fought against were just ants in front of this old man. It might be the reason why he was feeling uneasy.
The overlord was the very founder of darkness, the creator of it. For eons after eons, he survived the erosion of time and had been living in the dark for a very long time now.
In fact, he was also the one who created the Revenge Canyon in the past.
"The darkness shall be purged." Jin Rou equipped his lightning sword and said filled with braveness, "Overlord or what, you are sentenced to die in this place."
"It's not yet my time and I don't want to fight you, Your Majesty." The overlord looked serious and said, "But if you're going to push the buttons, then I'll be happy to accommodate you."
The overlord looked at Jin Rou for a while and added, "It wouldn't be easy, Your Majesty. This will be the last time I will give you a chance."
"You'll give me a chance?" Jin Rou laughed, "I'm sorry but I don't need your mercy."
"Whoosh!" Jin Rou activated his dao and slashed a sword arc towards the overlord. It contained the thousands of worlds and powerful enough to bring everyone to death.
"Looks like it's helpless then." The overlord sighed and said, "Then Your Majesty, to the death."
"Boom!" The sword arc was instantly negated and became ashes, being carried by the wind. The overlord's aura had changed and his entire person became darkness himself. It was obvious that he was taking Jin Rou seriously.
Of course, Jin Rou was also taking him seriously. Because this old man was insanely strong and had the right to call himself an overlord. Now, he understood why his Uncle Dan secretly gave sent him a warning message when he was about to depart.
Today, one of them would surely die. And this battle might change the future in the coming years.
