Chapter 264: The Power of Silence
Chapter 264: The Power of Silence
"Finally extracted it. Although I don't know if the environmental factors in other demon-free worlds are the same, this thing is a powerful weapon."
Qin Muye looked at the strange force in his hand, which continuously annihilated various external energies. He decided to name it the Power of Silence.
It meant that all energy would be reduced to silence.
This thread of the Power of Silence was different from the crimson element in his body.
His crimson element decayed and assimilated various energies, essentially converting other energies into its own nourishment.
But this Power of Silence was much more ruthless, akin to a bully. Whether it was the crimson element, hellish power, or even the power of the Titans, it would all be annihilated by it.
Qin Muye had experimented with it, and it could annihilate both the composite magic power and other innate authorities in his body.
Even when materialized, it could annihilate electricity, nuclear energy, mental energy, and more.
In other words, this power not only countered various magic and spiritual energies but also worked against technology.
"No wonder the Shadow Realm is so difficult. Achieving this level is already very impressive."
"Fortunately, the Power of Silence in this world is inert and lacks a system. Otherwise, even the Shadow Realm's attempt to influence him through the shadows, the Mother Race of the Magic Continent, the God of the Horror Universe, and the Chaos of fairy tales would all be stripped of their power if they came here."
If this Power of Silence were to form a system and become active, it might even annihilate the source of Qin Muye's magic power.
Unfortunately, everything was just Qin Muye's hypothesis. He used a massive device to extract it from the atmosphere for nearly twenty days and then filtered it through the groundwater system to extract this tiny thread of the Power of Silence, which was about the size of a paramecium.
Fortunately, he had human blood and various magic and shadow techniques to enhance his vision, allowing him to conduct research.
"I wonder if this thing can be integrated into my blood or magic power?"
Qin Muye was envious.
This power was indeed very strong. If he could integrate it, it would make him even more powerful.
At least he could produce the Power of Silence on his own in the future. Even a small amount added to the defense system of the floating city would form a powerful countermeasure against science, magic, and martial arts.
However, this thing was naturally antagonistic to various energies, making it quite difficult. It was like trying to mix water and fire, making peace between two enemies, which was virtually impossible.
So, Qin Muye didn't plan to make them coexist peacefully. He intended to force them to merge, since they would all be part of the same person, eliminating any enmity.
As for using this thread of the Power of Silence to separate the Shadow Realm and the human world?
That could wait. After all, a little time didn't matter.
"I need to upgrade my shadow gear to add a talent and a skill."
Under normal circumstances, he didn't like wearing his shadow gear because it was a bit ostentatious. The armor, similar to a robe, and the wide sleeves made it inconvenient for him to conduct experiments. Since his talents were sufficient, his shadow gear usually stayed in book form, floating beside him to help with record-keeping.
The experiment was in full swing, but he keenly sensed the commotion outside.
"What the heck is coming, making such a big commotion?"
"Reduce kinetic energy, diminish potential energy."
Qin Muye spoke decisively, and then he saw a massive figure crash into his external barrier.
It was soft and had no force, like hitting a sponge.
"Oh, so someone really did come to cause trouble in the Yin Mountain Lord. Too bad they're a bit weak," Qin Muye commented.
The Yin Mountain Lord was indeed very powerful, especially in enhancing the shadow users. Wearing it could match the strength of a 5th-rank entity, with the only drawback being the risk to one's life.
This time, the shadow user inside the Yin Mountain Lord seemed to be a snake-like shadow gear with three heads.
"Li Yan, your crimes have been exposed. Come with me to the Zou family and face your punishment, or I'll destroy this broken device today," a haughty voice came from inside the Yin Mountain Lord.
Qin Muye felt a headache. What was this person thinking?
To make such a big fuss over such a trivial matter, the head of the Zou family must have been hit by a door and then kicked by a donkey before leaving home today.
Although the Zou family must have paid a high price to borrow the Yin Mountain Lord, the shadow user inside was definitely a 4th-rank entity, equivalent to a strong middle-tier force. Yet, they sent it here to die, just for the sake of saving face?
Kun Muye was used to not caring about his reputation, especially given the unique nature of his territory. He didn't mind much about face and image. However, the noble families couldn't afford to be like that. Face was everything to them; losing face meant losing their influence.
Kun Muye's repeated actions had almost completely stripped the Zou family of their dignity, so they naturally had to find a way to save face.
In terms of strength, after the loss of the Heavenly Peng, most noble families were on par with each other. So, the internal matters had to be decided based on their reputation and influence.
Moreover, since the last time Kun Muye acted, he had already begun to have the momentum of being the strongest in the world.
For the noble families, this was unacceptable. It wasn't that a "strongest in the world" couldn't exist; it was just that this title had to belong to someone from their own ranks, not an ordinary person with no background.
That's why the Zou family was willing to bleed heavily to get the Yin Mountain Lord, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so simple.
"Why do I have this strange sense of deja vu?"
It was like the villain was about to achieve great power, and the protagonist jumps in to stop them.
"Am I the protagonist of the righteous side, or did I inherit the protagonist role from the antagonist type?"
"Otherwise, how could such bizarre things happen?"
Actually, Kun Muye didn't have much interest in the Yin Mountain Lord. But who knew it would be delivered right to his doorstep?
So, he could only reluctantly accept it.
The last time, he did say that the Heavenly Peng and the Yin Mountain Lord would need to come for it to be a fair match, but that didn't mean these two could actually defeat him.
At most, they could just hold out a bit longer.
Didn't he see that with just one word, the powerful impact of the Yin Mountain Lord turned into something feeble?
"Whatever, I'll just treat it as a collection item. Since it's here, it wouldn't be right to let them die and go back. It's better if they die right here, maybe they'll even be remembered well."
Kun Muye thought about it and decided that the saying "send the Buddha to the West" had its merits. So, he decided to send the unnamed Zou family member inside the Yin Mountain Lord to the afterlife.
"Die on the spot!"
This time, he didn't need to set off fireworks. If the Yin Mountain Lord's cockpit exploded, Kun Muye wouldn't know how to handle the situation.
As for how they would die, he left it to the magic network to decide. After all, he didn't need to think too much about the combat aspect.
The massive Yin Mountain Lord's surface began to wriggle, and the driver's face was filled with horror, completely unaware of why this was happening.
Just as they were about to exit the Yin Mountain Lord, it stopped moving.
The driver of the Yin Mountain Lord died on the spot.
To be honest, if the driver had been wearing shadow gear, they might not have died so easily, as the physical attributes were genuinely enhanced by the shadow gear.
However, to control the Yin Mountain Lord, the shadow gear would automatically detach and attach to the chair in the cockpit, losing its enhancement. Thus, the driver's physical attributes returned to their original state.
If it were any other method, they might not have been killed, either by forcibly destroying the Yin Mountain Lord or waiting until they were drained. But Kun Muye used a prayer spell to kill, bypassing the normal defense mechanisms and taking life silently.
"Well, not only did they die, but they also lost the Yin Mountain Lord." Kun Muye smiled and sealed the Yin Mountain Lord away, planning to use it later.
He couldn't possibly return it. It was perfect for baiting, to see who was foolish enough to challenge him. Then, he could eliminate them as a warning to others.
Otherwise, they might really think he was easy to bully, demanding that he face punishment.
"If I weren't busy, I would have done it on the spot... Wait, I can do it. The entire Zou family, die on the spot!"
Kun Muye suddenly realized he had the Book of the Wise, which allowed him to kill without being present, just by paying a price with words.
He expended one percent of his magic power, and it clearly worked.
"Indeed, the prayer spell is very effective."
