Chapter 533 The Boundary Tower [Part 3]

Both of them were Dao Masters.

Though seemingly close, they are worlds apart; spatial shifts can occur in the blink of an eye.

In just a moment, in the time it takes to say a few words.

They have already traversed the endless Milky Way.

We arrived at a star system.

What appeared before Hu Qi was not a galaxy cluster like the Black Disk Galaxy.

Instead, a towering black tower stands majestically in the depths of the universe, its body as black as ink, seemingly capable of swallowing countless starlight.

The place was pitch black.

Without careful observation, one would not be able to detect the existence of this black tower.

This is none other than the Boundary Tower.

It is truly worthy of being a Dao artifact crafted by numerous Dao Lords.

As the distance approaches.

Hu Qi felt a considerable sense of oppression when facing this boundary tower.

According to Huo Yao.

This is because the main purpose of the Boundary Tower is not to target the Dao Lord, but to restrain the source disaster gray mist and void creatures in the Void Sea.

Otherwise it would only be more terrifying.

To the beings in the Black Disk Galaxy, those were star beasts.

However, the Dao Lords still refer to them as Void Creatures.

Because the place where these organisms originated is called the Void Sea.

now.

The Boundary Tower itself stands there like a giant pillar.

The area of ​​the tower alone is many times larger than that of the Black Star.

Hu Qi looked up along the black tower.

With the ultimate vision of a Dao Lord, even across countless light-years, he still managed to detect a slight anomaly.

At the end of that black tower, a faint gray-white light flickered, like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness.

The only difference is...

The light was filled with paleness and deathly stillness.

The scene was as if a hole had been forcibly torn open in the entire Origin Realm, and then the gap had been forcibly plugged by this towering black tower.

"As you can see."

Huo Yao's voice rang out at the right moment, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"The end of the Boundary Tower lies the Void Sea, which is the very reason for the Boundary Tower's existence. It's a pity."

He paused, his tone somewhat heavy.

"Even with the Boundary Tower guarding it, it is still impossible to completely stop the erosion of the Void Sea."

Otherwise, the Origin Realm wouldn't experience such frequent Origin Disasters.

Hu Qi nodded silently, his gaze still fixed on the faint silver light.

He now has a general understanding of the current situation in the Origin Realm.

The entire Sumeru Sea, from the outside in, consists of four regions: the tidal zone, the shallow water zone, the deep and dark zone, and the boundless abyss.

And this Origin Realm is the center of the Boundless Domain.

If we consider the entire Sea of ​​Sumeru as a single ocean...

The Origin Realm is the deepest part of this ocean.

It is the place closest to the void, that is, the void sea.

Beyond the boundless realm of the Sea of ​​Sumeru, no void creatures can be seen, nor even traces of the source calamity's gray mist.

Ultimately, they were all blocked by the Origin Realm.

It can be said that without the Boundary Tower, there would be no existence of the many Dao Lords of the Origin Realm.

Let those source-cause gray fogs invade the Sea of ​​Sumeru.

The only outcome of welcoming all the heavens and myriad realms within the Sea of ​​Sumeru is to transform them into growth nutrients for void creatures and the source of the calamity's gray mist.

At this time.

Huo Yao stepped forward.

He waved his folding fan lightly.

next second.

A pitch-black vortex appeared out of thin air, like a rift torn open in the void.

"Brother Hu, please come with me."

Huo Yao turned to the side to indicate.

"The tower master is waiting."

Hu Qi smiled slightly.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Huo to lead the way."

The moment you step into the vortex, the surrounding scenery changes abruptly.

When their vision refocused, the two found themselves amidst a dazzling silver-white starry sky.

Starlight shimmered beneath my feet, like a flowing Milky Way.

In the center of that starry river, a lone boat drifts silently.

At the bow of the ship, a figure stood with his back to the viewer, seemingly one with the starry sky.

"Lord Tower, the Lord of Infinity has arrived."

Meet this person.

Huo Yao clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Greetings, Tower Master!"

Hu Qi followed suit, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing gesture.

A thought flashed through his mind, and information about this person came to mind.

With so many Dao Lords gathered together, there naturally had to be a leader.

And the leader of this group is the Tower Master.

Not to mention anything else.

The person who can take on this position must be the strongest among all the Dao Lords.

Otherwise, it would not be enough to convince the public.

After all, those who can become Dao Lords are all ruthless characters who have fought their way out of countless living beings.

The tower master of the Boundary Tower is the person standing before you.

Also known as the Lord of Time, his real name is Eternal One.

According to rumors, the other person didn't have this name before.

He changed his name after becoming a true god.

The meaning is that in the eternal river of time, I am unique!

Regarding the true name of this Lord of Time.

He had seen it on the Gate of True Spirits when he was promoted to Dao Lord; it was located at the highest position.

His name alone reveals the profound knowledge he has attained.

It possesses the power to reverse the flow of time.

For the Dao Lord, reversing time is not an unattainable fantasy.

As before, Hu Qi and 'Pan' joined forces to carry out their actions.

He once successfully reversed part of the spacetime in the region where Lü Yang was located in the Black Disk Galaxy.

However, such methods cannot be considered true time reversal.

In essence, it merely altered the memory of beings in a localized area, while the entire river of time in the Origin Realm continued to flow forward without any change.

But the Time Dao Master before us is somewhat different.

He not only comprehended the great principle of time.

His cultivation had reached the Dao Fruit realm long ago, a period of time ago.

They even went all out to rewind the timeline and pulled the Origin Realm back from the brink of collapse.

It can be said that if it weren't for the existence of the One of Ten Thousand Ages...

The Origin Realm is probably long gone.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to regard him as the strongest person in the Origin Realm.

"Lord of Infinity?"

The man slowly rose from the bow of the boat and turned around.

What comes into view is an ordinary, unremarkable middle-aged face.

however.

The moment Hu Qi's gaze fell upon that face.

Countless faces flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

The characters include elderly people, young children, stunning beauties, rugged men, and even non-human, alien beings.

Countless images emerge and fade like the tide.

The only constant.

Every figure had those silvery eyes.

It feels like there are countless Eternal Ones standing here, only belonging to different timelines.

"You're doing great! Your promotion has bought us a lot of time."

Looking at Hu Qi, Wan Gu then spoke.

"Don't worry, joining the Boundary Tower is absolutely the right choice!"

"Only by working together can we resist the source of disaster!"

"Once you're here, there will be no restrictions on you."

Furthermore, cultivating within the Boundary Tower allows one to resonate with the origin of the Origin Realm.

It will make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, far surpassing anything found in the outside world!

"So what do I need to do?"

Upon hearing about the benefits of practicing in this place.

A hint of interest appeared on Hu Qi's face.

He immediately asked, "What you need to do is very simple!"

Wan Gu Yi said calmly.

Speaking of it.

He changed the subject.

Do you know how the Boundary Tower resists the erosion of the Void Sea?

Hear the words.

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

"Please enlighten me, Tower Master!"

Although Hu Qi had learned some things about the Boundary Tower from 'Pan', it wasn't detailed enough.

From the outside, it appears that the boundary tower itself directly blocked the gap created by the Origin Boundary, thus preventing the Origin Disaster.

But in reality, it's definitely not that simple.

"Those source-cause ash fogs are extremely corrosive, and ordinary methods are unlikely to resist them for long."

The reason why the Boundary Tower is called the Boundary Tower is nothing other than that.

This is because the Boundary Tower refines complete worlds into barriers, constructing the ultimate defense against the erosion of the Source Calamity.

This layer of defense, we call the boundary membrane.

"Although the boundary membrane can effectively block the invasion of source disasters, some problems may occur at times."

The role of the Boundary Tower members is to intervene promptly when problems arise with the boundary membrane, repairing it and eliminating potential hazards.

Speaking of it.

He paused.

"Of course, repairing the boundary membrane is not a free service."

Each time you make a repair, you will receive a gift from the world itself, a strange crystal called 'Tao Crystal'.

After refining, it not only nourishes the Dao Seed but also accelerates its growth, significantly reducing cultivation time!

As Wan Gu Yi spoke, a faint light emanated from his palm.

As the light swirled, a completely black rune slowly took shape.

The rune was about the size of a palm, its surface covered with mysterious patterns, and there were faint spatial fluctuations flowing through it.

"This is the mark of the Boundary Tower. After refining it, one can obtain a portion of the Boundary Tower's authority."

The words fell.

The mark then flew to Hu Qi's front.

"Thank you!"

Hu Qi reached out and grabbed it.

A wisp of power wrapped around it, instantly refining it completely.

next second.

He then sensed a special consciousness establishing a connection with him.

That comes from the boundary tower itself.

He can gain certain privileges through this connection.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave now!"

Wan Gu waved his hand and prepared to sit down again to continue fishing.

"There is indeed something I would like to ask the Tower Master to clarify!"

Hu Qi's eyes flashed.

He directly voiced his doubts.

"Since the Dao Lord's corruption originates from the Gate of True Spirit, if we find the Gate of True Spirit, could we either bring it out or seal it away to completely solve this problem?"

Hear the words.

Wan Gu Yi's expression remained unchanged, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Your idea isn't something that no one has tried, but it's simply impossible."

He paused for a moment, then didn't keep anyone in suspense.

Directly.

"Because the location of that 'Gate of True Spirits' is in the deepest part of the Void Sea."

To enter, one must not only withstand attacks from the countless void creatures within, but also resist the erosion of the increasingly powerful source calamity forces as one delves deeper.

"To date, the total number of Dao Lords in the Origin Realm is one hundred and one."

When the source calamity and gray fog descended, there were more than thirty Dao Lords simultaneously within the Origin Realm.

Because the source of the calamity comes from behind the Gate of the True Spirit.

At that time, a total of twenty Dao Lords joined forces to attempt to penetrate the Void Sea, including three Dao Fruit Realm Dao Lords.

Their purpose in this journey is to find the legendary Gate of the True Spirit and seal it completely, thus eradicating the source of the calamity.

However, in the end, none of those who entered survived; all perished within.

The words spoken throughout the ages are plain and simple.

But it reached Hu Qi's ears.

It made him feel a chill as well.

It should be understood that any Dao Lord can create a world with a mere gesture, and can also destroy it with ease.

Its power is so vast that even a true god who has attained immortality and indestructibility is nothing more than an ant that can be destroyed with a flick of the finger.

Even in the Origin Realm, where powerful beings abound, the Dao Lord stands at the pinnacle of the extraordinary, looking down upon all living beings as if they were ants.

Yet, of these extraordinary figures, more than twenty perished.

It even includes three top Dao Lords who have reached the Dao Fruit Realm!

"However, their sacrifice was not in vain. Some of them went to the Gate of True Spirits and tried to seal it."

Unfortunately, by the time they reached that point, they were completely exhausted, and their remaining power was only enough to seal the Gate of True Spirits for less than ten thousand years.

Wan Gu shook his head.

At this point, his interest seemed to wane, and he showed no intention of continuing the conversation.

He waved his hand, signaling the two to leave on their own.

Without saying anything more, he sat back down at the bow of the boat.

……

See this scene.

The two looked at each other.

We left the boundary tower on this level.

Come to the outside world.

The two then had a brief exchange.

Huo Yao left behind a communication talisman.

The principle is actually the same as adding friends. With this communication talisman, we can ignore the barrier of the boundary tower and communicate with each other.

"Alright then, Brother Hu, let's get together again sometime!"

After saying that, Huo Yao smiled.

With a flicker, ripples appeared in the void, and he vanished.

Hu Qi withdrew his gaze.

A wisp of divine soul power connected with the boundary tower mark, and with one step, it disappeared from the spot.

……

Nobody knows.

Just after Huo Yao and Hu Qi left.

Wan Guyi, who was sitting quietly at the bow of the boat fishing, suddenly flicked his wrist, and the fishing rod drew a sharp arc in the air.

In an instant.

A void creature with dense compound eyes was pulled out of the water by a silver fishing line. Before it could struggle, it was split in two by the cold light. Its remains fell into the silver galaxy below and disappeared, splashing up a circle of fine silver light.

Wan Guyi gazed at the surging river of time beneath his feet, a dark and unfathomable ripple appearing in his eyes.

"It's strange, even if they are visitors from outside of fate, they don't have a past."

He should have had a future, but he has none of it, perhaps…

Think of this.

He shook his head.

"It's a pity it appeared too late. If it had appeared earlier, the ending might have been different!"

In the end, Wan Gu let out a sigh.

The sigh revealed a hint of helplessness and exhaustion.

This kind of emotion is not something a supreme being at the Dao Fruit Realm should have.

As the master of time, he stands above the long river of years, overlooking the cycle of reincarnation in all realms. He should be detached from worldly affairs and untouched by worldly dust.

However, he persisted for too long.

So long that even he, the Lord of Time, became somewhat numb.

But he cannot let go; if he does, all the heavens and myriad realms will perish in the primordial calamity.

All he could do was try his best to persevere.

Waiting for a miracle, or for ultimate destruction.

……

The fourteenth floor of the Boundary Tower.

Hu Qi's figure gradually came into view.

What comes into view is a vast and boundless starry sky.

With a slight thought, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a luxurious bedroom.

Underfoot was a soft wool carpet, and overhead hung a crystal chandelier, reflecting a warm glow.

Each level of the Boundary Tower is a self-contained world, and can be changed according to the will of the guardian.

Hu Qi didn't care about any of that.

He sat cross-legged on the spot.

Stretch out your hand and wave.

A dazzling array of lights appeared before his eyes.
