Seeing this, the demonic shadow paused for a moment.
However, it was not surprised but instead let out a cold laugh.
"I've been waiting for you for so long. You finally showed up. It's been quite a wait. After all, you're an important piece in the game I've set up. Devouring you will give me a better chance against the master behind you!"
"Stop pretending!"
Lu Benwei raised his head disdainfully. "You just devoured a broken Heavenly Dao and absorbed a fragment of its memories, and now you're acting all profound in front of me? What a joke. You're just a clueless fool who knows nothing about true power."
"You..."
Being exposed and belittled by Lu Benwei, the towering demonic shadow immediately showed a look of frustration and anger.
"If that's the case, then let me show you the terror of darkness."
As the voice fell,
the boundless black mist in the heavens and earth began to condense, gathering in the sky.
It then transformed into solid black chains, weaving together to form a massive net, like a colossal cage, descending towards Lu Benwei.
Seeing this, everyone below lifted their heads, their expressions filled with tension.
Especially those from the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm, whose faces turned ashen.
This power was far too overwhelming, so much so that it filled them with despair.
Could this black-robed expert really face it?
Under the gaze of the crowd, Lu Benwei, clad in his black robe, calmly raised his hand and extended it forward.
The demonic shadow sneered at Lu Benwei's action.
"It's useless."
"No one can escape my Dark Cage."
He laughed coldly.
However,
as soon as his voice faded, his expression suddenly changed.
Because that hand had effortlessly shattered his cage.
"How... how is this possible?"
His eyes widened, but before he could finish speaking, he found himself gripped by a skeletal hand around his neck.
"Idiot, stop pretending. Dark baptism? More like 'Balala the Fairy' nonsense. Playing with darkness in front of me? What a joke."
"Get down here, you fool."
In an instant, Lu Benwei yanked the demonic shadow down with a gentle pull.
With that pull, the overwhelming demonic energy instantly contracted, and Lu Benwei dragged it down, compressing it into a ball in his hand.
All of this, though it seems lengthy,
happened in the blink of an eye.
"How... how is this possible?"
The demonic shadow, not fully comprehending what had happened, found itself compressed into a ball in Lu Benwei's hand.
The black ball formed a face filled with terror, its eyes wide with disbelief as it stared at Lu Benwei.
"Who are you?"
"Why is your power...?"
"Why is your power so overwhelming?"
The terrified voice stuttered, filled with incredulity.
"A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to know who I am."
Lu Benwei sneered, not even bothering to look at the demonic shadow, and casually tossed it towards milk.
Seeing this, milk swung its bear paw and smacked the black ball.
With a loud bang, the dense black mist exploded under the impact, scattering into specks of black light that dissipated into the sky.
"Well done... well done..."
"Quite ruthless!"
"I'll remember this grudge..."
"This is just a mere clone of mine. I will come for you eventually..."
"Hahaha, just wait for my relentless revenge..."
As the demonic shadow dissipated, its voice echoed across the sky, filled with resentment and hatred, reverberating throughout the Immortal Realm.
"Big brother, should we chase after it and deal with its true form?"
Ao Qing ran over and asked eagerly.
Lu Benwei shot him a glance. "Is it worth going all that way just to crush a bug?"
