12 NIGHT JUDGE

The universe had only two suns, one yellow and one red. The dark sun was still missing, so very few beings were aware of its existence.

The Suns were the origin of energy in the universe. Qi, Mana and other kinds of energies, all came from them. Naturally, when cultivators come closer to the suns, their cultivation speed would increase.

However, when The Darksiders approached the yellow and red suns of the universe, their cultivation was being suppressed due to different kind of energies they possessed.

In terms of energy, no cultivator could compare himself with the suns. Thus the closer Darksiders came to the suns, the weaker they became.

The same rule also went for the humans. Coming that close to the dark sun and stealing it should be impossible for them, but reality differed from theory.

The Darksiders was in need of beings who didn't get affected by the red and yellow suns. In order to achieve their goals in the places which were close to the suns, there couldn't be a more suitable creature other than humans themselves.

In the past, Shan Ver had placed thousands of Hatred Formations in various places of the planet. Most of them were in the suicide areas, gathering hate consumed and desperate humans.

There weren't other conditions. Shan Ver didn't care about the level of their cultivation. He could make them stronger in no time.

This sort of personages would hate the world and everything that is in it. Shan Ver was giving them another chance in life and maybe a chance to work towards a common goal. In that case, these people would be loyal to him eternally.

Since the suns were the source of energy in the universe, then Darksiders should not be able to cultivate anymore due to the absence of the dark sun.

However, The Essence of Malice was another phenomenon that had occurred after the apocalypse. It had born from Darksiders' souls not long after from the disappearance of the dark sun!

The Essence of Malice was an invasive and hungry kind of energy. It sucked every Darksider's cultivation base who had given birth to this energy. Then it separated itself from their souls and formed a Dantian for Darksiders.

Shan Ver had desired to implement this power to his Hatred Army. The Soul Parasite Experiment was the solution he had found years ago.

However, the results of the experiment were out of Shan Ver's expectations.

…

Shan Ver left the teleportation formation area as fast as he could.

Yulian might have incredible value for the Darksiders, so he had to have an urgent conversation with someone.

He tried to suppress the excitement in his old and dark heart. The possible results were too big for him to make a decision by himself.

Shan Ver appeared in a private part of the underground cavity. At a corner, an altar was being illuminated by the blue-white crystals on both sides. It was somewhat flat and simple looking. It wouldn't be called an altar if there weren't black runes inscribed on it.

Shan Ver brought his palm over the runes and poured his energy in. As soon as he did, the runes started to glow with blackish rays of light.

"I request a meeting with Lord Night Judge." He said respectfully.

A few moments later, black gas started to come out from the runes. First, the gas formed a cloud on top of the altar. Then it took the shape of a black humanoid shadow.

"So it was Shan Ver. What news do you have for me? I assume you didn't request a meeting for a random conversation." The shadow spoke. Its voice was devoid of any fluctuation, like nothing could falter the master of the call.

"I wanted to talk with you about a human child." Shan Ver answered.

"Human? How unusual. Tell me about it."

"Does The Lord remember the Soul Parasyte experiment that I did on unborn human fetuses?" Shan Ver's face started to show colors of excitement again.

"Yes, one of the unsuccessful experiments of yours. I remember all of the subjects died not long after their birth… and I remember you had taken the risk of being discovered by humans at that time." The shadow said. Looking at Shan Ver's behavior, Night Judge's interest grew another point. However, he did not show it in his voice.

"Yes… It was my fault. In the absence of our dark sun, The Essence of Malice is a gift given to us by the dark world. I should not have used it for an experiment on humans thirteen years ago." Shan Ver evaded shadow's gaze while saying that. However, in the next second, his eyes burned even more fervently and met with shadow's eyes.

"Today, a human child had fallen into one of the Hatred Formations. Moreover, he is one of the subjects of Soul Parasite Experiment!" Shan Ver said hurriedly.

The shadow, "Then?"

"As The Lord knows, I had injected Essence of Malice to the young souls of the human fetuses in the past. All the subjects were potential talents. Some were carrying strong bloodlines, and some of them had strong cultivators in their family tree in accordance to this planet's standards."

"In the beginning, everything was in my expectations. The Soul Parasytes started to invade young souls. After their Dantians formed it sucked Qi or Mana from them slowly and grew with time. The more potentially talented the child was, the faster it grew."

"However, the Soul Parasite didn't separate itself from the soul of the humans. Due to that, their souls collapsed before they reached the age of seven. All of them died."

"I know it clearly because I had carefully watched every subject from the shadows at that time. Given the level of this planet, there couldn't possibly be something that I had missed."

"The Essence of Malice wasn't compatible with humans… or so I thought. One of them unexpectedly has been living until this day! I couldn't sense him because there isn't even an ounce of energy inside of his body, as if he was one with nature. The side effects that the Soul Parasyte caused were ten times stronger in his body compared to the other subjects, but even so, he is still alive."

"His body doesn't have a Dantian, meridians or energy channels. The Soul Parasyte has been sucking everything from him until the point he had nothing left. None of the other subjects were like him, all of them had their Dantians intact when they had died. That means the Soul Parasyte in his soul is tens of times stronger than others… and I suspect that he is a genius among geniuses."

"Lord Night Judge… This person came to my side through a Hatred Formation that I placed. You can guess where I am trying to get, right?" Shan Ver said to the shadow.

The Night Judge's shadow has been listening to Shan Ver all this time. He was keeping his calm at first. However, his breathing got quicker through the end of Shan Ver's speech. He knew what Shan Ver was trying to say.

Night Judge continued after Shan Ver finished his words. "In this universe, every being has a Dantian, even the ones who are not cultivators. Every Dantian possesses a kind of energy even it is too minuscule. Without any energy, a being cannot continue to exist. Now you are saying to me, someone, like you had described, is exist. Moreover, he is a potential enemy of the humankind. Haha… Ha ha ha!" Night Judge started to laugh 'happily'.

"Exactly as you said, sir!" Shan Ver answered with a smiling face.

"You know that I will kill you if you are lying to me, right?" Night Judge's shadow said to Shan Ver with the same happy voice.

"I wouldn't dare to say even a half incorrect word to my Lord!" said Shan Ver, there wasn't even a trace of fear on his face.

"Normally, a cultivator's body rejects energies which it does not in possession of, any foreign energy would be treated as an enemy. Creating new Dantians within the body are still possible, but the cultivator's body would reject it if the cultivator doesn't have an affinity towards the energy in question." Night judge continued.

"However, the boy you speak of has not had any energy in his body from the start. You said as if he is a part of nature itself. You are correct. Since it is like this, all the energies which the suns gave birth to can freely go into his body without being treated as an enemy. That means his body has been bathing in all kind of energies from his birth to this day! Therefore, he should have an affinity for every possible kind of energy. Everything can coexist in him!"

"You want to create Multiple Dantians for him, and turn him into a monster which the universe has never seen before, don't you? …Do it! Do it immediately! I want you to turn him into a spear of hate that can even pierce the suns!"

Night Judge's voice was full of impatience. Darksiders have been preparing to destroy humanity for a long time. However, their hands were bound in certain aspects. They couldn't possibly do anything to the peak human powers which were located so close to the suns in the universe. They needed humans for destroying them… They needed someone like Yulian!

In order to create someone like him, Darksiders have been doing experiments for a long time. However, Yulian did come to them in an unexpected way. Was it luck? ...or was it his destiny?

"Yes, my Lord! I'll spend all of my efforts in doing so!" Shan Ver said respectfully. He was even more excited than Night Judge because he will be the one who would give a shape to this monster.

"I wonder why didn't he die? That is the only riddle for me now. Investigate this matter while guiding him! Next time we speak, I want to see him in my presence!" Night Judge said, and the black gas sucked back into the runes on the altar, leaving behind an eager Shan Ver.
