Chapter 526 The Source of Calamity [Part Two]

Compared to the fear and trepidation felt by many in the Dao Domains, Hu Qi appeared remarkably calm and at ease.

He has now landed on a gray-white planet.

Although this planet has a thin layer of oxygen, it is extremely barren, devoid of any life.

Hu Qi stood atop a solitary peak on this desolate planet, with cracked white ground beneath his feet.

Upon closer inspection, the seemingly hard rock layers are actually embedded with countless patterns of fossilized seashells, which gleam like pearls in the dim light.

In the distance, the dried-up riverbed meanders to the horizon.

Clearly, oceans once existed on the surface of this planet.

Hu Qi sat down cross-legged.

next second.

As he lightly lifted his fingertips, five dazzling streams of light emerged one after another from his sleeve.

They are a stone, a seal, a tower, a spear, and a piece of cloth.

From left to right, they are named the Sky-Mending Stone, the Sumeru Seal, the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the God-Slaying Spear, and the Yin-Yang Cloth.

These five items are the five treasures that 'Pan' once bestowed upon us.

It is also the guardian of the five Dao Domains.

Now, however, they have all fallen into his hands.

At this time.

Hu Qi was suddenly enveloped in a golden halo, and a drop of Pangu's true blood appeared between his eyebrows.

As the ancient aura originating from the 'pan' spread, the five treasures simultaneously unleashed astonishing phenomena:

The Heaven-Mending Stone emitted a five-colored divine light, and a blurry figure of a woman with a human head and a snake's body appeared.

Each level of the Xuanhuang Pagoda transforms into a chaotic world, absorbing and exhaling boundless Xuanhuang energy.

The God-Slaying Spear was shrouded in malevolent energy, which manifested into a series of awe-inspiring arrays.
Hu Qi sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, enveloped in the radiance of the five treasures.

One after another, profound Daoist principles were seized and refined by his divine soul.

These profound truths originating from the Dao Lord level are now being comprehended by him one by one, like a gentle stream.

As time went by, the obscure mysteries of the Dao Lord realm deep within my consciousness gradually revealed their clear outline.

……

As a wandering, grayish-white celestial body.

It does not exist within any solar system.

There was naturally no sunrise or sunset.

Being there, the only thing you can see is the boundless starlight.

This also makes time blurry in this place.

During the time Hu Qi was comprehending the Daoist principles of the five items, he unconsciously drew upon a vast spiritual force that surged like a tide, gradually giving new life to the long-dead gray-white dwarf star.

At first, only scattered points of light gathered from the void, seeping into the dry rock layers like fireflies.

Gradually, these spiritual energies condensed into streams that flowed across the planet's surface, and wherever they passed, the gray-white dead earth began to glow with a faint blue hue.

Then, the cracked earth began to heal, and a deep pulsation came from deep within the earth's crust. This energy-depleted core of the earth regained its vitality.

After an unknown amount of time, the planet had completely changed. The once barren, gray-white surface was now covered with a thin layer of green, with moss and lichen quietly spreading.

Clear water flowed again from the dried-up riverbed, and thin clouds even gathered in the sky.

Even more astonishingly, those shellfish fossils buried deep underground trembled slightly under the influence of spirituality, breaking free from the constraints of petrification, and some single-celled life emerged from them.

Then there are multicellular animals, arthropods, and chordates.

The entire planet is awakening from the silence of death, rapidly transforming into some primitive and pure form of life.

What would normally take billions of years to evolve now seems to have been accelerated countless times.

The source of all this, Hu Qi, still sits quietly atop the solitary peak, his eyes slightly closed, his body radiating Daoist energy.

He didn't care that he had unintentionally reversed life and death, giving a dead star a new life.

pat!

A snowflake the size of a fist fell from the sky and hit the ground.

Because there is no starlight shining on it.

The temperature of this planet is constantly decreasing.

Large snowflakes continued to fall from the sky.

All the greenery has disappeared.

The entire planet quickly returned to its previous pale color.

Only within a kilometer of Hu Qi's location remained unchanged.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Hu Qi opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Raise your hand and wave.

Put away the five items that are constantly spinning around him.

Subsequently.

Hu Qi, the true form within the body, suddenly opened his eyes.

Look towards the panel.

[Owner: Hu Qi]

[Status: normal]

[Life Level: True God (Infinite Paths: Path of Light, Path of Destruction, Path of Buddha Lotus...)]

[Taoist Rhyme: Reincarnation, Erosion, Contract, Justice...]

[Bloodline: Taiyu Holding a Serpent]

[Talents: Devouring Spirit, Twisted Light (Heaven and Earth), Primal Eye △ (Crimson Sun Inferno), Eternal Ring]

[Divine Power: Heavenly Mandate Pivot, Ultimate Body, God-Slaying Realm]

[Skill: Divine Limit Heart Technique △ (True God Chapter 9)]

【Heaven-Stealing Technique (Perfected) Trait: Stealing Heaven】

……

[Modified value: 32105720 (10%)]

The panel hasn't changed much compared to before.

The Yuan Eye is still undergoing transformation.

Hu Qi's gaze fell on the skills section.

The Divine Limit Heart Technique has finally been updated with a triangular rune that can be modified.

This also means that he can use the Crimson Panel to deduce the content of the Divine Limit Heart Sutra Dao Master Chapter.

He originally thought he would need to go to the Pure Lotus Realm.

But now it seems that this is not necessary.

The conditions have been met.

Hu Qi did not hesitate at all.

He spoke directly.

"Crimson! Revise and perfect the content of the Divine Limit Heart Sutra Dao Master Chapter!"

hum!
The moment the words fell.

The modified values ​​decreased rapidly.

at the same time.

His thinking began to elevate, and the previously scattered information was constantly being combined.

It's like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle.

However, the puzzle he obtained was incomplete; all of it together consisted of only some scattered, peripheral pieces.

However, driven by the Scarlet Panel's disregard for modification values, these missing parts are being filled and perfected at a visible speed.

This almost miraculous experience, no matter how many times it happened, always left Hu Qi deeply shocked.

You have to understand, given his current perspective and thinking speed.

Most techniques can be mastered with just one glance, and can even be created and improved upon.

However, it is unlikely that the Divine Limit Heart Sutra can be used to deduce the main content of the Daoist chapter based on the existing fragments of information.

Even if it were feasible, it would require at least tens of thousands of years of arduous study and enlightenment.

But now, with the powerful support of the crimson panel, the deduction process is so fast it's breathtaking, as if time has been compressed a million times, and countless possibilities are flowing, being verified, and being finalized in my mind with every breath.

After a while.

Hu Qi opened his eyes.

My gaze fell on one of the columns on the panel.

-

[Skill: Divine Limit Heart Technique △ (Introduction to the Dao Lord Chapter)]

[Modified value: 5720 (10%)]

See the situation on the panel.

Even Hu Qi couldn't help but fall silent.

At this moment, the content of the Divine Limit Heart Sutra Dao Master Chapter has been fully supplemented.

However, the price paid was terrifying.

The original modification value of up to 30 million was almost completely wiped out.

He was left with just over five thousand.

I recall thinking that I had more and more modified values ​​than I could use.

He admitted that he was overthinking things.

The reason why this happens.

I just thought about it for a moment.

Hu Qi then understood what was going on.

Although he obtained the Daoist essence of that 'pan' from these five treasures, supplementing his information about the Dao Lord level.

But in comparison, it's less than one ten-thousandth.

It was simply insufficient to deduce the content at the Dao Lord level. Hu Qi relied entirely on consuming modification values ​​to deduce the rest, which allowed his Divine Limit Heart Technique to complete the information in the Dao Lord chapter.

If it weren't for this reason...

The sect leaders of the first five Dao Domains have lived for countless millennia, and it's impossible that none of them have attempted to advance and break through to the Dao Lord level.

Ultimately, the information contained in these five treasures alone is far from sufficient to complete the understanding of the Dao Lord's existence.

Hu Qi used the panel to make the impossible possible.

The price paid is the accumulated modification values ​​over such a long period of time.

Instead of making hasty deductions, entering the Azure Lotus Realm to obtain more information about the Dao Lord before making modifications might save a lot of modification points.

Hu Qi felt a pang of regret about this.

But even if he knew, he would never do that.

It would be better to be able to deduce this sooner rather than later.

Thinking of the gazes that had secretly been watching him, and the various suspicious points about Lü Yang.

He was eager to be promoted to the position of Dao Lord as soon as possible.

This situation of being constantly constrained made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He has always been accustomed to being in control of the overall situation.

The existence of the Dao Lord is undoubtedly the greatest threat to him.

To get promoted, you need to find a way to acquire more modification points.

Think about this.

He composed himself and focused his attention back on Lü Yang's body outside.

……

outside world.

Hu Qi straightened up, and then his figure soared into the sky.

Arrived in mid-air.

As far as the eye could see, all that remained between heaven and earth was a vast expanse of white.

The thick snow sealed everything in place, as if time had frozen there.

However, in his perception, the entire planet was brimming with vibrant life force.

Those strange-looking creatures lurking beneath layers of ice of unknown thickness continue the miracle of life in silence.

Is this the resilience of life?

Hu Qi raised the corners of his lips slightly and let out a sigh that was hard to decipher.

Although this planet was revitalized because of him, it was not illuminated by the light of a star.

This led to a permanent winter.

This is why an amazing ecosystem has evolved.

Most of the creatures here have lost their visual organs and instead explore this dark world using sophisticated sound wave sensing and magnetic field perception.

However, no matter how resilient a life form is, if the planet cannot find the sun after it leaves, it will only become a dead star again.

"We seem to have a connection, so I'll lend you a hand today!"

Hu Qi flashed and was already standing in the vast space.

He looked down at the gray planet beneath his feet and flicked his finger lightly.

A dazzling streak of light pierced the void and disappeared into the planet's surface.

in an instant,
The celestial bodies, which were originally drifting aimlessly in the universe, seemed to have been injected with life and began to move rapidly toward the nearest star system.

If all goes well, billions of years from now, this dormant planet will surely come back to life and give birth to a brilliant civilization.

Whether it will give birth to humans or other intelligent life forms, no one knows.

Hu Qi had finally managed to do a good deed.

I felt as if my soul had been cleansed.

I just turned around to leave.

Suddenly, his expression changed, as if he had realized something.

The figure flashed.

They quickly headed to the right front.

soon.

A strange gray mist appeared before Hu Qi's eyes.

This is an ordinary star system.

At this moment, within this star system, the once blazing star has dimmed and lost its light, as if it might extinguish at any moment.

And it was this gray fog that caused this scene.

These eerie mists are spreading outwards at an alarming rate.

Even more frightening is that the fog contains extremely strong corrosive power.

Whether it's a celestial body or a meteorite, once it comes into contact with it, all life within it will be instantly annihilated, and the star itself will rapidly decay and decay, eventually turning into cosmic dust and completely dissipating into nothingness.

See this scene.

Hu Qi reached out and grabbed.

A wisp of gray mist detached from it and was taken into his hand.

For an instant.

A trace of corrosive power seeped out.

Moreover, the fog seemed to have a life of its own.

He wanted to break free from Hu Qi's grasp.

After realizing it couldn't be done.

It instantly disintegrated, transforming into several thin, hair-like living things that tried to burrow into Hu Qi's palm.

puff!
Hu Qi pinched his five fingers together.

The gray mist was immediately ignited by the golden flames and burned away completely.

Modified value +1 (3%)

Modified value +1 (4%)

...

Hu Qi looked at the writhing shadows in the fog ahead.

It's like I thought of something.

Some surprises.

"Is this the source of the disaster?"

Origin disasters are essentially a special phenomenon within the origin realm.

This phenomenon originates from the void, which the Origin Realm calls the Void Sea because of its erosion of the Origin Realm.

When the power of the Void Sea permeates into the Origin Realm, it will trigger the Origin Calamity.

During the source catastrophe, a large number of void creatures known as 'star beasts' will be born.

Unlike the strange phenomena that appeared in the Sea of ​​Sumeru, the Source Calamity always brought with it an astonishing number of star beasts.

This also explains why the Star Beasts have never been completely eradicated.

When Hu Qi first learned about it, he had a feeling.

This Origin Realm is like a giant filter, capable of intercepting the vast majority of void creatures.

However, a small number of star beasts will still break through the barrier of the Origin Realm and eventually enter the Boundless Domain of the Sumeru Sea.

According to records, the last primordial disaster occurred 100,000 years ago.

Historically, the interval between catastrophic events should have been around 200,000 years.

However, this cycle is not fixed.

For example, this primordial disaster occurred a full 100,000 years earlier than expected.

All indications suggest that the frequency of source disasters is increasing significantly.

for others.

A primordial disaster is a catastrophe that occurs randomly at any time and place. It can turn celestial bodies into nothingness in a short period of time and kill all life within them.

Moreover, these gray mists also harbor star beasts.

Once it occurs, it will inevitably be accompanied by considerable casualties.

However, this was not the case for Hu Qi.

These gray fogs appear to be alive.

This single strand alone provided him with ten modification points.

It's important to know that this allows you to provide modified values ​​for the panel.

Based on current knowledge, only extraordinary life forms exist.

Could it be that this gray fog is also among them?
Think about this.

A smile appeared on Hu Qi's face.

The best way to accumulate modification points and advance to the Dao Lord level is to hunt down extraordinary beings.

He could immediately gain enough modification value by destroying just one more Dao Domain.

Used to improve.

But he doesn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary, partly because he is kind-hearted and can't bear to do such a thing.

Another point.

The casualties caused by the destruction of the Suiwa Starfield were too terrifying.

The karmic consequences accumulated have not yet been completely eradicated.

If we were to take action and annihilate another Dao Domain.

The accumulated terrifying karmic forces might not be enough to withstand with just a drop of refined Pangu blood.

When the time comes, he will not fare well due to the backlash of karma.

Now, he has found the best source of modified values.

Think of this.

He looked at the ever-expanding gray fog and couldn't help but lick his lips.
