“Next is the Shadow Fiend Demon General!” Mo Fan continued with his experiment.

Mo Fan used the Shadow Manipulating Art, but the Shadow Fiend Demon Generals did not show up around the Flying Creek Snow Wolf as he had expected. He had no idea what went wrong.

He remembered how Bei Jiang had summoned many Demon Shadows when fighting him. The shadows looked exactly the same as him, and possessed remarkable strength. Mo Fan could not find a way to get rid of them or kill them. Most of the injuries he had suffered were inflicted by the demon shadows.

Mo Fan was able to Summon the Shadow Fiend Demon Servant from the seeds of Darkness Corruption. However, he believed Bei Jiang was able to Summon many shadows in a shorter time. They did not have to rely on a body as a medium. They could roam freely, like they were alive, and they knew how to work together, too. They were clearly separate from the target’s shadow.

The ability was quite powerful. Even though the Darkness Corruption was useful in many ways, the ability to Summon duplicate Demon Shadows was the one that would significantly improve his strength!

“Why isn’t it working?” Mo Fan was confused.

He had already sacrificed a Commander-level Soul Remnant, but there was still no sign of the Shadow Fiend Demon Generals around the Flying Creek Snow Wolf, the shadow fiends that were capable of attacking on their own, surrounding the target, and had special abilities…

Mo Fan suddenly realized something after a while.

The Shadow Fiend Demon Servant only showed up when the Darkness Corruption had accumulated enough dark energy in the target’s body. If so, he would need a certain amount of dark energy to Summon Shadow Fiend Demon Generals powerful enough to move around and attack the enemy!

“Let’s have a go at it… Nyx Regime!” Mo Fan constructed a Shadow Star Constellation.

The training ground was ten meters high; quite impressive, considering the place was built underground. It was completely sealed off by the white bricks. The ceiling was domed like an egg. As Mo Fan completed the Advanced Shadow Spell, the spacious training ground was immersed in complete darkness, as if the lights had been turned off.

The Nyx Regime’s darkness was not as simple as turning off the lights and shrouding the sun. It would also strengthen the presence of Dark energy in the area. Its iciness and emptiness would amplify the negative emotions of humans, especially fear. Meanwhile, Darkness Creatures would become significantly stronger in the darkness!

If Mo Fan had a Shadow Element Summoned Beast, it would work well with his Nyx Regime…

The Nyx Regime was established. Mo Fan could see clearly in the darkness. He stared at the Flying Creek Snow Wolf and sacrificed a Commander-level Soul Remnant to Summon the Shadow Fiend Demon Generals!

A silhouette soon appeared in the darkness. The darkness surrounding it seemed a little stronger. It was like a puff of gas floating freely.

As Mo Fan finished channeling the spell, the puff of gas slowly took the shape of a wolf, starting from the head, then the body, and finally the limbs and tail. In just a short period of time, the black gas had turned into a Shadow Fiend Demon General that looked like the Flying Creek Snow Wolf. It emitted a mysterious and dangerous aura!

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf seemed to have realized that something was behind him. He turned around and bit with his fangs, confident that his attack would land on his enemy.

The bite was deadly and quick. It was powerful enough to easily crush a meter-thick block of steel.

The Shadow Fiend Demon General immediately turned into mist when it was attacked and spread into its surroundings. The mist slowly gathered in another spot not far away from the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.

Mo Fan gave the order to attack. The Shadow Fiend Demon General bit at the Flying Creek Snow Wolf the same way he was biting at the shadow previously!

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was not that intelligent. He was still searching for the Shadow Fiend Demon General when he was attacked from behind. The bite did not cause him to bleed, but his flesh had turned black and corrupted, as if the cells were dead!

“I see! Bei Jiang was using the Dark Swamp to summon the Shadow Fiend Demon General, which means I’ll need some sort of Shadow Domain to set up an ideal environment!” Mo Fan finally understood how to use the ability.

Mo Fan had gained a lot of confidence after testing out the two abilities.

Mo Fan was using the Shadow Element as an escape tool most of the time, as the Shadow Element was not compatible with his violent fighting style. However, with the two new abilities, the Shadow Element had become very powerful in fights. The untraceable Darkness Corruption, the betraying shadow that could rise without alerting the target, and the Shadow Fiend Demon Generals that were like duplicates of the target; once Mo Fan improved his Shadow Element, he could defeat lots of experts with just these abilities!

Unfortunately, Mo Fan could only Summon one Shadow Fiend Demon General at most. He was unable to Summon a bunch of them to flank the enemy like Bei Jiang had.

“I’ll need to improve my Fire Element. Otherwise, Little Flame Belle won’t be able to Possess me.

“I need to improve my Shadow Element as soon as possible to Summon the Shadow Fiend Demon Generals…

“AH, I can’t afford to fall behind on the other Elements either! The Space Element, the Lightning Element, the Summoning Element… I still haven’t found the way to Awaken the Second Contract. I’ll become even stronger if I have another Contracted Beast. It’s best if I could get a Shadow Contracted Beast and utilize the maximum potential of the Nyx Regime!”

Mo Fan reflected on his cultivation while sitting in the spacious training ground. He was now strong enough to take on the experts of the Black Vatican!

——

Mo Fan did not stay in Guangzhou for too long. He went back to the Mount Wuyi Enforcement Union to plant a Seed of Darkness in Cheng Ying, preventing her from evading them regardless of what she was planning.

Mo Fan felt a lot more confident against the Black Vatican after obtaining Bei Jiang’s power!

Feng Zhoulong was finally done with the tasks on hand. He went to the training ground to see how Mo Fan was doing with the new Dark Material. However, the guard told him that Mo Fan had already left Guangzhou.

“That ungrateful prick; didn’t he promise to treat me to dinner, yet he already left without telling me!” Feng Zhoulong cursed.

Feng Zhoulong shook his head, but he was not too fussed about it.

His thoughts were all on the possibility of merging different Elements. Why were Bei Jiang’s Shadow and Chaos Elements merged as one? Was it a sign that the other Elements could merge into one, too? What would happen when the Elements were merged? Would they become stronger, or more unpredictable?
