Chapter 540 Void King's Descendant
Outside, it was pitch black.

In the city, lights can be seen occasionally.

This is the time when nightlife should be starting.

However, within a kilometer radius of the library, it was eerily quiet.

suddenly.

The entire library, standing in the rain, suddenly trembled.

A ring of ripples, invisible to the naked eye, spread outwards.

The falling rain seemed to freeze in mid-air for a moment.

next second.

——Bang!

The ground around them exploded, sending rubble flying and dust surging up like waves.

It transformed into an invisible shockwave that instantly tore through the rain curtain.

The entire three-story library's glass walls suddenly cracked and shattered, turning into thousands of sharp starlight points that drew arcs of death in the darkness.

The steel bars and concrete were cracking, and the entire building began to collapse, like a steel behemoth with its spine severed, slowly kneeling down in the rain.

The ground collapsed downwards.

The earth trembled violently, and shockwaves swept across the streets, shattering windows within a radius of hundreds of meters. The sounds of vehicle alarms, screams from the crowd, and the piercing roar of twisting steel were all drowned out by the deafening roar of the collapse.

at this time.

A slender, petite figure, enveloped in a white shockwave, was sent flying backward, slicing through the air with a piercing whistling sound, before crashing heavily into a wall a kilometer away.

The entire wall cracked instantly, and spiderweb-like fissures spread out in a flash.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

The figure struggled to its feet from the ruins.

Her clothes were already torn to shreds, with only a few tattered pieces barely covering her snow-white skin.

Crimson blood slid down the corner of his lips and dripped into the puddle at his feet.

"cough--"

Ji Chang coughed up a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the ground in front of her, blooming into a shocking blood flower.

She didn't bother wiping it off; her bloodied fingers quickly ran over the jade bracelet on her wrist.

In an instant, the purple light intensified.

A giant scythe, as tall as two people, appeared out of thin air and was held in her hand.

The scythe was shrouded in an eerie purple light.

The sharp blade gleamed with a cold, chilling light, making the girl's pale face appear even more stern.

"You finally woke up!"

Shuoqiu's somewhat weak voice echoed in Ji Chang's ears.

"Um, Shuoqiu, are you alright?"

Ji Chang took a deep breath, seemingly noticing the unusual tone in Shuo Qiu's voice, and glanced down at the weapon in her hand.

Judging from the outside...

The Purple Scythe Blade remains unchanged.

However, whether it was her imagination or not, the weapon seemed to be much dimmer than before.

Ji Shang had some recollection of what happened after being manipulated by Hu Qi, but it was very vague.

Therefore, the extent of Shuoqiu's injuries is unclear.

"It's nothing, just stay away from that monster! He's dangerous, and the situation here is beyond your capabilities!"
If you don't listen, we might both die here.

Shuoqiu's voice revealed an unprecedented solemnity.

This time, Ji Chang did not refute.

Her figure flashed by.

It transformed into a black shadow, then separated by several thousand meters, and landed on a tall building.

Then they reported the situation here to headquarters.

Only then did they turn their gaze to the center of the library in the distance.

Although they are thousands of meters apart.

Despite it being nighttime, Ji Chang's eyesight as a weapon user was still sharp enough to see the situation clearly.

……

The night was as dark as ink, and the rain intensified, threatening to pour down.

The once majestic library, along with the surrounding buildings, has been reduced to ruins. The dust and smoke from the earth-shattering tremor are now being swallowed up little by little by the cold rain.

The gale, carrying raindrops, washed away the last trace of dust, revealing the shattered ruins below.

Hu Qi stood in the center of the enormous pit.

The cracked earth beneath his feet was still emitting wisps of white smoke, which mingled with the torrential rain to form an eerie mist.

Those eerie readers who had wandered the library, and the strange tales in those books, were all reduced to ashes by that single blow.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently.

Gravel and rubble tumbled down with a rustling sound as the solid ground undulated like waves.

With a deafening roar, a terrifying figure, hundreds of meters long, burst from the ground.

It was a giant, pale moth monster, its scales shimmering eerily in the rain, its outstretched wings covered with chilling patterns.

The wing membrane is as thin as a cicada's veil, revealing streaks of phosphorescent blue and pale purple light, with the wing veins faintly visible like blood vessels.

Its overall body shape is slender and humanoid, but it is covered with a pearly white chitinous carapace, with barbs at the joints, and bony protrusions extending from its neck and back.

On its head.

It was covered by a broken white bone mask, shaped like a moth's mouthparts, with two narrow slits in the eye sockets, revealing a pair of dark gold pupils.

It has curved antennae extending from the top of its head, with a faint fluorescent glow at the tips.

At first glance, it looks like a moth spirit.

"The Dao Lord of the Origin Realm?"

The monster spoke.

The voice clearly belonged to a young human woman, with a hint of languor in it.

Of course, this was just a special kind of mental fluctuation, not actually speaking.

Regarding Hu Qi's appearance.

The moth-shaped void creature showed no surprise.

now.

Her wings fluttered behind her, scattering fine dust that resembled condensed frost in the dead of night.

This moment.

Everything in the surrounding space seemed to have turned into insects in amber, frozen in mid-air.

When ordinary people witness this void creature, whether through video footage or direct visual observation, they are frozen in place as if their souls have been stolen, and eventually die bleeding from all seven orifices.

This is because its life level far surpasses that of ordinary people, whose life forms are simply unable to withstand such observation.

The very existence of those void creatures already exceeded the dimensional limits that mortals could observe.

Just as ants cannot comprehend human civilization, the brains of ordinary people instantly collapse from overload when exposed to information beyond their dimensional range.

Only the weapon users could barely catch a glimpse of the vague outline.

But that's all; the clearer form still exceeded their cognitive limits.

Ji Chang, standing in the distance, was forced to look away.

A sense of unease rose in their hearts. Could they really contend with such a powerful being?
Faced with Ji Chang's question.

Shuoqiu also fell into an unusual silence.

Even though Hu Qi's displayed power was terrifying.

But the source of this strange tale seems to be even more powerful.

……

"Descendant of the Void King?"

Hu Qi remained unaffected, looking up at the scene.

As if he had thought of something, he asked.

"That's right! My name is Ming Sha, and I am the Night Prophecy Moth, one of the thirty-six royal descendants."

"Your clone will remain here today!"

The moth-like void creature chuckled softly.

Void creatures come in all sorts of strange and wonderful forms, and their abilities vary greatly.

But generally speaking, they can be divided into four categories.

One type is the most common void creature, known as the Erosion Realm level.

Even if such a void creature grows to its complete form, its upper limit is only that of a true god, which means it can erode a world.

The second type is called Void Royal Descendants. Among all the Void creature races, the number of Royal Descendants is extremely limited, with only thirty-six species.

This kind of void creature, when fully formed, is comparable to a Dao Lord.

As for the third type, it is the Void Royal Family. This type is extremely rare, and their abilities are even more bizarre and terrifying. There are only eight types.

Above all, there is another kind: the true ruler among the void creatures, the true king of the void.

Unlike the Void Royals and Void Clan, which are divided into different ethnic groups.

The fourth type exists only once and is the most powerful of all void creatures.

If it weren't for that reason.

It wouldn't be so easy to kill the Dao Lord who entered the source of the calamity using only the source ash mist.

The void creature before us is a descendant of the Void King.

However, Hu Qi only knew a general idea about this, and he didn't know any more specific information.

Therefore, Hu Qi had no idea what abilities the Night Prophecy Moth possessed, as the other party had mentioned.

However, judging from this situation, it should be an ability related to the power of rules.

"My flames will surely consume your body."

The void creature named Netherveil murmured, its voice echoing from the abyss.

The words had barely left his lips when they came out, as if they were law.

In an instant.

A translucent, eerie yellow flame appeared out of thin air, flickering with an eerie light, and enveloped the space.

Wherever the flames passed, whether it was hard stone, cold steel, or any other material, they were all silently annihilated, leaving not even ashes behind.

The flames, like a raging torrent from the depths of hell, swept towards Hu Qi with an all-consuming power.

Hu Qi, however, seemed oblivious and remained standing still.

Suddenly, the flames mysteriously evaporated just inches away from his body, forming a hazy mist.

"Void King's descendant? Nothing special. Take this sword strike!"

He raised his hand.

In an instant, the entire night sky began to distort.

The dark clouds swirled and dispersed, as if an invisible hand had torn a gap in the pitch-black night.

A sliver of the setting sun poured down from the crack, turning the entire world into an eerie orange-red.

Countless people witnessed this scene.

Compared to ordinary people.

The weapon users felt it most acutely. At that moment, it was as if something extremely terrifying had descended.

"This...this is his weapon?"

In the distance, Shuo Qiu, who had transformed into the weapon Purple Thorn Scythe, spoke intermittently.

It was as if something was interfering.

He could clearly feel the deathly stillness and sharpness emanating from that longsword.

It's like it can harvest everything.

……

This illogical scene lasted only a moment.

The afterglow suddenly contracted, coalescing into a blinding beam of light.

When the light faded, a long sword with a yellowish hue was already in Hu Qi's palm.

Hu Qi's calm face was reflected on the surface of the sword.

This was the final blade that belonged to the Godslayer after advancing to Sequence Zero.

It possesses the immense power to annihilate all spirituality.

Seeing this scene, Ming Sha felt a sense of unease rise in her heart for some reason.

Just as I was about to make a move.

Swish!
Hu Qi didn't waste any words; he simply raised his hand and slashed downwards.

For an instant.

All sounds seemed to disappear.

Bai E remained standing in the same spot, her eyes filled with fear and confusion, as if she wanted to say something.

But the words were not spoken yet.

Countless cracks suddenly appeared on his body.

It exploded with a 'bang'.

In that instant, they transformed into hundreds of millions of moths and flew away in all directions.

But no matter which one it was, it split in two the next moment.

“This time, I’ve remembered it; next time I will…”

The spiritual energy of the Nether Veil resonated here.

With a hint of resentment.

Clearly, it wasn't her true form that came here.

"Next time? There won't be a next time!"

Hu Qi chuckled.

……

The Void Sea, a certain region.

A moth, as large as a star, trembled.

Then, without warning, it collapsed, and everything began to vanish.

"No, how can this be..."

Ming Sha's voice was filled with terror.

Before he could finish speaking, his entire body collapsed instantly, turning into part of the gray mist.

Completely dead.

……

Modified value +780030 (51%)

"Not bad, stronger than a typical True God! But he seems to be still a bit short of being a Dao Lord."

Hu Qi glanced at it.

This kind of strength shouldn't be able to affect him at all; it can only be related to the other party's innate abilities.

After all, what appeared here was not his true form, but merely a projection of his power.

Didn't think much about it.

He glanced at the weapon users who were gradually appearing in the distance.

He took a step and disappeared from the spot.

The official authorities of this world will naturally handle the aftermath.

He was too lazy to care.

……

"Just how strong is this guy?!"

In the distance, atop tall buildings.

Ji Chang felt complicated as she watched this scene.

That monster was so terrifying that she could barely look at it, yet the other party killed it instantly with a single sword strike! What a joke!
However, this feeling did not last long.

Two figures appeared in front of her.

This is a story of a burly man and a young man.

The two looked at Ji Chang.

The young man spoke up and asked a question.

"Ji Chang, what happened here?"

These two are also weapon users from headquarters.

Like her, he is also a possessor of the Ten Great Weapons.

"The source of the ghost stories was killed by Lin Sheng!"

Ji Chang composed herself and recounted what had happened.

After listening, both of them fell into a deathly silence.

……

Boundary Tower, fourteen stories.

In the luxurious bedroom, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Hu Qi slowly opened his eyes.

He looked up, his gaze piercing through the crystalline membrane, towards the world called the Realm of Silence.

The black mist that had been swirling around the boundary had dissipated, and the boundary membrane had returned to its clear and transparent state.

This means that the anomalies in this world have been completely eliminated.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared.

Beams of light surged forth from it, outlining the void.

It transformed into a prismatic crystal in front of Hu Qi.

The crystal emitted unique energy fluctuations, creating subtle ripples in the air.

"Is this a Dao Crystal?"

A glint of light flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

He recalled his previous meeting with the Tower Master, the Lord of Time, and the content of their conversation.

According to the other party, refining this substance can not only nourish the Dao seed within the body, but also accelerate its growth and significantly shorten the time required for cultivation.

It's a good thing for the Dao Lord himself.

Think about this.

He reached out and grabbed it in his palm.

next second.

His movements suddenly stopped.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This crystal is indeed beneficial to the Dao Seed.

The instant his hand grasped it.

The Dao Seed existing in the cave world within his body began to stir.

However, that wasn't what Hu Qi was concerned about.

It's something else entirely.

At this moment, a trace of restlessness and longing arose on the spot of his Yuan Eye on his forehead.

It was as if he desperately needed the Dao Crystal in his hands; this feeling was like a traveler in the desert finding a cup of water.

"This thing is beneficial for the fusion and mutation of the Yuan Eye?!"

Just for a moment.

Hu Qi then came to this conclusion.

The Primal Eye, because it is a fusion of the power of the Eye of Truth from the Godslayer sequence.

This caused some changes in it.

Even after he became the Dao Lord, this change still made no progress.

The Yuan Eye is still in the process of being formed.

the most important point is.

This process cannot be accelerated by modifying values.

Originally, Hu Qi was concerned about this situation.

We can only wait for it to develop on its own; we cannot interfere.

But I never expected that this so-called Dao Crystal would have such a use.

Dao Crystals can accelerate the growth of Dao Seeds.

However, it is nowhere near as effective as improving by modifying values.

Rather than using it to enhance and nourish the Dao Seed, it would be better to use it to accelerate the formation of the Yuan Eye.

Think about this.

Hu Qi didn't delay either.

A thought came to my mind.

A crack appeared between his eyebrows.

It immediately absorbed the Dao Crystal into it.

All of a sudden.

A peculiar tingling sensation arose from it.

It looks like something is growing.

Although the Yuan Eye appears to be on Hu Qi's forehead.

But actually.

Yet it exists, deeply rooted in the soul of Hu Qi.

Under internal observation.

After merging with that Dao Crystal, the light spot on the forehead of the soul body, representing the Yuan Eye, seemed to become even brighter at this moment.

"It really works!"

A strange light flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

He could clearly sense a certain power brewing within it.

This power is very strong and very strange.
