Chapter 2391: The Embrace of Darkness

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin’s shield of darkness was torn apart by the Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao. Through this breach, he could see the ice-cold expression of the Heavenly Light Goddess. This was an expression that was filled with killing intent.

Through this breach, her Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao violently thrust over.

An Lin didn’t have time to block, and he more so didn’t have time to dodge. The magnificent size of this blade was as if it were a colossal planet hurtling toward him, and the brilliant aura of this blade was as if it were light that was omnipresent and unblockable.

Rip!

The blade pierced through his heart, and it exited through his back.

A heart-wrenching pain shot through his entire body.

It was as if the power of an entire world were expanding and exploding within him.

The corners of the Heavenly Light Goddess’ lips curled up into a slight smile, and she said, “You’re done—”

Tear!

A razor-sharp ring of darkness flashed by.

The Heavenly Light Goddess was still wearing a victorious smile as her head slid off her neck.

This ring of darkness was none other than the Nine Essence Ring of Darkness that An Lin had created using his Divine Dao of Darkness as well as nine other pinnacle essential powers!

The Nine Essence Ring of Darkness carved a graceful arc in the air, and it was just about to shoot over to deliver the killing blow.

However, an unimaginable radiance suddenly erupted from the Heavenly Light Goddess’ body. In fact, this radiance was even more brilliant than the explosion of tens of thousands of stars. It was as if her power had culminated to some pinnacle degree.

Boom!

The Heavenly Light Goddess exploded. She exploded into vast and infinite Grand Primordium Light.

Illuminated by this Grand Primordium Light, An Lin’s body also started to expand.

Boom!

An Lin also exploded. He exploded into profound and limitless darkness.

The entirety of the colossal stellar system transformed into a frenzied battleground between light and darkness again. Countless stars and planets were reduced into dust and ashes.

Meanwhile, An Lin and the Heavenly Light Goddess didn’t pull off any fancy moves anymore. They both decided to end this battle using the most simple and primal way possible. They would determine whether darkness was more powerful or whether light was more powerful!

They both channeled their Supreme Heavenly God Powers to the extreme!

The Heavenly Light Goddess revealed her divine body, which was even more colossal than an entire stellar system. Grand Primordium Light rippled trillions upon gazillions of kilometers into the distance, illuminating the entire space. All scenes of life and all matters of life were reflected in this endless expanse of light.

“With light, that which was [nameless] has birthed into all existence,” the Heavenly Light Goddess said in a holy and ethereal voice. Her words echoed throughout the entire universe, and her Supreme Heavenly God Power instantly affected the entire universe.

Peculiar phenomena of light appeared above each celestial body in the boundless Realm of Stars.

At this moment, An Lin could feel a crushing pressure from a source several-fold—there was the boundless matter, boundless life, boundless energy, boundless nomological laws, and boundless dao intent. He felt as if he had already been abandoned by the entire world. Every “existence” that he could see and touch, and those that he couldn’t see all yearned to erase his “existence”.

This notion of “existence” was ruled over by none other than light.

In other words, this was a conceptual power of the entire universe!

The Heavenly Light Goddess gazed at the continually expanding and colliding darkness before her, and she said in a calm voice, “Abandon your struggle. You can’t defeat me… For I am the reason that this world exists. The empty universe had no innate significance. However, from the birth of the first wisp of light, all matter was defined, and countless possibilities started to grow. It was then that the universe found a reason for existence…

“Light is the source of all matter. Its appearance defined the concept of time, and its appearance allowed the universe to develop a concept of existence. The explosion of energy, the birth of matter, the construction of nomological laws, and the derivation of all phenomena…

“Light can urge the growth and development of the universe, and light can birth one life after another. It can continually develop and advance, and it can continue to birth hope and limitless possibilities…”

The Heavenly Light Goddess wrapped her arms as if in an embrace, and as the light before her blossomed, it birthed a scene of countless phenomena. These were phenomena of eternal existence and possibilities, something that couldn’t be severed from life.

Wherever one could see, this peculiar light could reach.

With a single thought of life, all matter could prosper and flourish!

“Without light, all matter around us shall cease to exist.

“You… will also cease to exist.”

One utterance to pass judgment.

One utterance to seal the battle!

An Lin could feel his existence rapidly weakening and vanishing. Without the recognition of light, it was as if his existence would be severed, and it was as if he would vanish from this world forever.

“Heh… How very interesting. Elevating this from a battle between Supreme Heavenly God Powers into a battle between universal-level concepts…”

The man in white appeared from within the darkness; his eyes gazing at the dazzling galaxies before him.

His eyes gradually became profound and tranquil.

“Light has indeed constructed all that I know, and light has indeed birthed all possibilities and hopes of the universe. Light seemingly possesses a limitless future of boundless development…

“However… why does life traverse toward death?

“Why do humans possess lifespans? Why do immortal Dao Integration Stage cultivators and God of Creation Stage cultivators face tribulations? Why does the Heavenly Dao—proclaimed to be eternally indestructible—also face a day of destruction?”

An Lin gazed at the vast universe. Behind the flourishing and dazzling sky, those matters that endlessly grew and blossomed like fireworks… would eventually tread toward an ice-cold and sorrowful fate.

“Not only life. All that I know… is also treading toward death.

“Each matter is birthed from light…

“Iridescent clouds, colorful auroras, life, stars…

“However, iridescent clouds dissipate with ease, and auroras are toilsome to seek. Life flitters by. The sun seems eternal, yet there comes a day where it shall also extinguish. No matter is eternal, even if you wish to think it so…

“It is at birth when they are the most beautiful. However, beauty cannot be preserved for all eternity. Just like this universe. When its explosion and expansion concludes, all that shall remain is the ice-cold corpses of stars long dead. All that shall remain is deathly silence and void.

“We are powerless to prevent this tendency. We are unable to decide the fate of this matter. When all comes to an end, our effort would have all been for naught…

“What is it that decides their fate…?”

An Lin gazed at the colossal yet still breathtakingly beautiful Heavenly Light Goddess. She was like the culmination of all beauty in the world. He smiled and continued, “All matter in this world, all magnificent phenomena in this world, you and I… We are all born from light. However, we shall always return to the eternal embrace of darkness…

“Your beauty is stunning, yet there comes a day where you will also age and depart.

“All matter shall eventually tread toward darkness.

“Heavenly Light Goddess, you shall also one day tread toward me…

“This world is fair. At the end of their existence, all matter and all phenomena shall return to the embrace of darkness.

“Light is indeed beautiful at the moment that it blossoms. Its beauty is one that is praised by all matter in the world. All matter yearns for light. However, it is because of this that they overlook one fact.

“That is, ‘light’, along with the birth and destruction of the universe, is but a fleeting spark when compared to the existence of darkness. It vanishes as quickly as it appears.”

The black orb in An Lin’s hand started to expand at an inconceivable rate. All matter that it came into contact with vanished, once and for all. All that remained was the most profound and purest darkness and nothingness.

The dazzling Grand Primordium Light was also erased by darkness.

Throughout the universe, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth shuddered. The sky of light above trillions upon trillions of beings was engulfed by the purest of darkness. Everything descended into darkness and silence.

“Light is boundlessly good…

“However, darkness is eternal!”

As he said this, it was as if all light in the boundless universe was suddenly extinguished.

Heaven and earth fell into darkness.

The universe fell into silence!
