Chapter 1914 – Manifestation of Dark Dao
“So you’re Lu Yun?” The young woman next to You Haoyue dimpled in an enchanting smile. “I actually need to thank you. If it wasn’t for you scaring off the Corpse Refiners and Rising Sunriver, I wouldn’t dare appear so openly and without reservation.”
Lu Yun raised a brow at her words.
“You’re who Jiang Lu is looking for?” he frowned at her.
The young woman’s smile deepened, but she didn’t respond. A white flame ignited on her body, looking exceedingly similar to the corpse qi of the Corpse Refiners. She and You Haoyue were just ordinary grand supremes, but when their qi was combined, it gave rise to a palpitating strength that gave Lu Yun pause.
“So that’s why I smashed Starcatch Tower so easily… you guys already emptied them out first!” Lu Yun suddenly realized certain truths about earlier matters.
They weren’t true grand supremes as they were both similar to Nightmare, forcefully raised to that level through secret arts. At the same time, methodically progressing through the various daos and cultivation methods of the world wasn’t necessarily better than these secret arts. Lu Yun was the same—he had come about the Master of Darkness through neither a secret art nor conventional cultivation.
“Stop wasting time with them!” The big-headed doll bounced out like a cannonball and shot toward You Haoyue. He leered threateningly, a laughing and crying expression appearing on his face—the image of the Master of Darkness.
Lu Yun followed suit. He could clearly sense the doll’s towering killing intent, as if he shared a blood feud with these two. The Master of Darkness on his face lit up, illustrating threads of scarlet light in its dim and profound runes.
“Stay back.” Lu Yun pushed Nightmare back when he sensed that she wanted to follow. Their opponents were too uncanny. Their combined strength made his heart quail and the change in the Master of Darkness was also because of them.
The big-headed doll smashed headfirst into You Haoyue, sending the young man hurtling backward. The doll was as if a wild beast, his chubby hands curled like ripping claws to grapple with his enemy.

Hummm.
Lu Yun’s two fists formed twin dark stars and met the young woman in battle. He landed a punch on her face, but it was his body that shuddered violently and flew backward.
“Impossible!” Lu Yun gasped with incredulity.
“Not at all. There is no one who can contain me if Jiang Lu and the Corpse Refiners are not present,” the young woman smiled. Apart from her black robe, there was nothing else on her that suggested any hint of evil.
When Lu Yun punched her in the face, it felt like he was a mortal slamming his fist into a granite wall. His right hand was numb and half of his body threatened to follow suit.
Nightmare rushed to Lu Yun’s side and whispered, “Don’t use the Master of Darkness. It’s ineffective on her! She’s not a living being, but the manifestation of great dao—the dark dao!”
“What?!” Lu Yun looked at the young woman with shock.
The manifestation of dark dao?!
He’d seen the physical manifestation of daos before. In the Hongmeng, the manifestation of talisman dao—the Talisman King—had helped Lu Yun. Who would’ve thought that he’d meet the manifestation of dark dao here?
This manifestation was on a completely different level from the one of talisman dao. Dark dao was a supreme great dao in the chief worlds—it boasted of a world of sequence!
The Master of Darkness was unrivaled in a land of darkness, so it was naturally much stronger than the dark dao of the chief worlds. However, Lu Yun was only borrowing its strength, so he wasn’t able to suppress this manifestation of dao with the paltry amount that he could call upon.
His face darkened and he took off the mask on his face.
“Heh heh heh,” the young woman cackled when she saw his movement. “You are just a regular supreme on the path of good if you take off the mask, Lu Yun. I can crush uncountable numbers of supremes like you with a single finger. Do you think you can fight me?”
She turned around and glanced at You Haoyue and the big-headed doll, slightly curling her lip. “Trash.”
That was patently directed at You Haoyue, not Lu Yun or the doll. She made her way to Lu Yun with measured steps.
“One can wear out iron shoes with fruitless searching, yet what one seeks might be found without even looking for it.” She quirked her lips upward. “I wouldn’t be able to do anything if the Master of Darkness was still with that woman. But since you have it… it’s mine now!”
A myriad of thoughts ran through Lu Yun’s mind when she spoke and a certain number of mysteries finally cleared up. Moran Dongning had taken the Master of Darkness to the Land of Reincarnation after her mother died. The reason for that likely stemmed from the manifestation of dark dao.
When the nine clawed golden dragon entered the Moran Clan with another identity, he wanted to obtain the clan’s world of sequence. Instead, Moran Dongning’s mother used the Master of Darkness to defeat him.
After that, the dark dao manifested a tangible form and became the Moran Clan’s divine spirit. But was she still the manifestation of dark dao, or had another mind taken possession of her? Her will was the will of the Morans. They wanted the Master of Darkness, which made Moran Dongning and her mother traitors of the clan.
But now—
Lu Yun’s lips curved upward and he tossed the treasure into the air.
“That woman’s not here, but her daughter is. I finally understand why Moran Dongning gave me the Master of Darkness,” Lu Yun chuckled.
“What?!” The young woman’s eyes widened.
Hummmm.
Drawing a gentle curve in midair, the Master of Darkness trembled as a young woman walked in from a distant world. She picked up the mask and placed it on her face.
“If the Master of Darkness remained on me, you would’ve never dared leave clan territory.” Dressed in long black robes, Moran Dongning floated to the ground. She bestowed a half smile on the manifestation of dark dao.
She’d slipped the Master of Darkness to Lu Yun partially because she wanted to strengthen him in light of the maturing world heart, and also to scheme against the dao’s manifestation. The treasure could fully restrain the manifestation, but only when Moran Dongning or her mother wielded it. The physical form of dark dao could sense when the treasure left them, which was why she’d subsequently showed herself and dared come to the Dark World to vie for the world heart.
She never fathomed that Lu Yun would possess the Gates of the Abyss to facilitate Moran Dongning’s easy movement!
