Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16210

Chapter 16208: Speculation

Zhao Hai took out a small crystal of Shadow Power. He activated it and then conducted various experiments. He discovered that Shadow Power could indeed merge into shadow, but it only merged, not truly and completely became one with it. However, when Yin and Yang Power merged into shadow, you couldn’t detect its presence unless you used your mental power to control it, diluting it until it completely became shadow. Otherwise, Shadow Power would persist.

You might think Shadow Power has its own consciousness, but it doesn’t seem to. It’s more like an instinct. Shadow Power seems to have an innate ability to merge with shadow, naturally merging into it upon sensing danger.

This doesn’t mean Shadow Power is inferior to Light Power; Shadow Power is far more powerful. Where there is light, there is shadow, but the reverse isn’t necessarily true. Where there is Shadow Power, there isn’t necessarily light, but Shadow Power doesn’t actively attack Light Power; they coexist unless you control the Shadow Power.

Zhao Hai wanted to continuously use the power of shadow. After all, the power of shadow was omnipresent and could attack enemies silently. If he could master the power of shadow and use it to attack enemies, no enemy could escape.

Zhao Hai felt that his use of the power of shadow should be different from his previous attack on the people of the Creation God Cult. They used the power of shadow by compressing it and then controlling it in battle. They might have learned this method from the very beginning, but Zhao Hai felt that this method was not suitable for him. What was he best at? Runes! If he used runes to control the power of shadow, wouldn’t the effect be better?

Thinking it, he immediately tried to integrate the power of shadow into the Heaven and Earth Runes and the Curse Runes to see how it would work.

However, to Zhao Hai’s surprise, when he began to fuse the power of shadow into the Heaven and Earth runes and the curse runes, the shadow power surged like a tidal wave into the two runes, using them as conduits to directly enter Zhao Hai’s rune space. Zhao Hai was about to stop it, but remembering that he was originally meant to control the shadow power, he decided to observe what would happen after it entered his rune space. His rune space then opened to the shadow power. There

was simply too much shadow power. When it entered the rune space, it merged with all the runes, giving each rune a shadow. But that seemed to be all. Once the shadow power had completely merged with all the runes, and the rune space was filled with shadow power, it finally stopped flowing into the rune space.

This doesn’t mean that shadow power will no longer enter the rune space, but rather that the shadow power within the rune space has reached a balance with the shadow power outside, thus preventing it from entering. Zhao Hai

sensed it and found that he could now use shadow power, and his method of using it was indeed different. He could use shadow power through runes. That is, if he released a fire rune, a ball of fire would indeed appear in front of him. However, the most terrifying aspect of this fire was that it could merge into the shadows. Once merged, it would completely disappear, yet it would still exist and be able to attack enemies—that was the most terrifying part.

Imagine you’re fighting an enemy, and Zhao Hai suddenly reveals a fire rune, which instantly transforms into a ball of fire. He raises his hand and throws this ball of fire directly at the enemy. What would the enemy do then? The enemy’s attention would be drawn to the flames, but the moment the flames left their grasp, they vanished. Before the enemy could even react, a ball of fire suddenly appeared from their shadow, instantly incinerating them to ashes. Sometimes, the flames wouldn’t even appear; the person would simply be burned to ash, and no one would know how they died. This is the most terrifying aspect of the combination of runes and shadow power.

Zhao Hai discovered that while shadow power was incredibly strong, its autonomous offensive capabilities seemed relatively weak. It was more like a powerful support, imbuing all forces with its attributes and using those attributes to attack enemies—a formidable ability in itself.

Zhao Hai decided to focus on this first, then gradually explore shadow power and see what else it held.

Meanwhile, Wen Yuming and his team were also researching shadow power. While their research speed wasn’t as fast as Zhao Hai’s, it was still progressing rapidly. They had already discovered the power’s strength, but now they were trying to find a way to compress it. Compressing shadow power required a special method, and they were still searching for that method.

However, the Divine Kingdom was not affected at all by the Blood Slaughter Sect’s research on the power of shadow. Furthermore, the destruction of the Temple of Creation made the people of the Temple of Creation even angrier. What angered them even more was that they had not discovered who was targeting them. They had clearly arranged for people to monitor the Temple of Creation outside, but they still could not find out who was behind it.

News of this quickly reached the Pope, who frowned upon hearing it. He then summoned all the bishops to his room. Once they arrived, the Pope addressed them, “I’ve summoned you here today because of the attack on the temple. I think you’re all aware of it. Speak, what are your thoughts?” The bishops exchanged glances

, and then one of them spoke, “We still don’t know who did it. We’ve clearly arranged for people to monitor the temple, but we still haven’t discovered who did it. There’s definitely something fishy about this. We must find out who did it.”

The others nodded in agreement. Hearing their words, the Pope frowned and said, “Your ideas are good, but the problem now is…” “Exactly, we have no idea who did it or how. Are we just going to let them continue like this?”

No one spoke. In fact, they didn’t know what to do either. The deed was done, and they didn’t know what to do. The leader looked at them, his face growing cold. Just then, someone spoke up: “Leader, could we set up defensive arrays at the temples? If we could, that would be wonderful. Then we’d know exactly how the enemy attacked us.”

Everyone looked at him like he was an idiot. The bishop realized he had misspoke. They had too many temples. If they had to set up defensive arrays at all of them, their Creation God Cult would probably go bankrupt. If they couldn’t set up defensive arrays at all of them, what was the point? The enemy could simply attack the temples without defensive arrays, so this method was simply not feasible.

At this moment, a bishop suddenly spoke up: “Is it possible that they entered the temple from underground? That’s why our people didn’t detect them. This possibility also exists.”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, but then they all nodded. They thought it was possible. If the enemy really did enter the Temple of Creation underground, it was indeed possible to do so without anyone noticing.

The Divine Kingdom here has a deep understanding of the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that is not easy to learn. Although it is considered a basic magic, it is the kind of magic that is easy to learn but difficult to master. That is to say, learning the basic magic is not difficult at all; it is easy to learn. However, once you have learned it, using earth-遁 can only allow you to burrow a few feet underground. You can move underground, but there will be sound and energy fluctuations. If someone uses it poorly, they might even leave traces on the surface.

However, most people can only use it to this extent. To master the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one in ten thousand people to burrow underground, making movement more fluid and preventing detection on the surface. Beyond that, it has no other use. Moreover, the art of earth-遁 is easier to detect, especially when surfacing. When you rise from underground to the surface, the energy fluctuations are significant, making it almost impossible to launch a sneak attack using it. You would only be able to use it to ambush someone underground if you were in a battlefield with extremely chaotic energy, as the surrounding energy would be too chaotic for people to notice.

Of course, this is only a possibility. In a real battlefield, cultivators usually fly in the sky when fighting. If you use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) to burrow beneath someone and try to ambush them, but when you emerge, the enemy is hundreds of meters in the air, it’s almost impossible to launch a surprise attack. Hundreds of meters is enough time for the enemy to react, and then it’s no longer a surprise attack.

Therefore, earth-遁 techniques are actually quite useless, as they are only useful for escaping. However, the most awkward point is that even when escaping, these techniques aren’t very effective because they are easy to break. The biggest drawback of these techniques is their slow movement speed.

Escape techniques are generally used for escaping, and the faster the escape, the better. However, the biggest drawback of earth-遁 techniques is their slow speed, which is why they are so useless. (End of Chapter)
