Chapter 563 Advancing to the Dao Fruit, the Secret to Transcendence [Part 1]

In what was once the central area, terrifying external calamities such as purple lightning, earth fire, and white wind raged and surged.

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened!
The previously flickering external calamity suddenly dispersed, as if a curtain had been drawn back by an invisible hand.

It vanished in an instant.

The most crucial part of the scene was revealed.

However, the once magnificent Baidi Palace has now vanished without a trace, leaving not even a single crumbling wall.

Clearly, over this long period of time, it was completely annihilated by these violent external calamities, erasing all traces of its existence.

Only a huge, pure black crystal coffin floated silently in the void.

Compared to before.

The coffin had expanded several times its original size, and was pitch black, as if it could devour all light.

Furthermore, its density increased again during this period, becoming extremely high.

This causes the surrounding light and matter to be distorted, forming eerie ripples that, from a distance, resemble a black hole, radiating a chilling aura.

……

"How is this going?!"

The centaur-like void creature, witnessing this scene, unconsciously took a half-step back on its forehooves covered in dark scales.

He looked somewhat surprised.

He didn't understand why the external calamity that had lasted for so long would suddenly disappear.

"Never mind what's going on, don't go any closer. Report the situation here to Lord Baidi first!"

The lion-like creature beside him, seemingly an empty entity, had already regained its senses.

They quickly increased the distance between them.

It's always better to stay away; this thing is too eerie.

Once caught in the crossfire, they might not even know how they died.

He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his former companion.

The two then quickly relayed the information from there.

...

Origin realm.

Significant changes have occurred compared to before.

The once normal starry sky now has a touch of gray and deathly silence.

The gray mist formed from the source disaster spread silently, sweeping across the entire Origin Realm like a tide of death.

Where the gray fog passed, the stars dimmed, all life was extinguished, and billions of lives were instantly wiped out, without even a cry of anguish.

Among them, some extraordinary individuals, unwilling to perish, unleashed various magical treasures and burned their life essence in an attempt to escape, fighting their way out.

However, the void creatures emerging from the depths of the void are almost endless.

Furthermore, now, with the support of the power of the Void Sea...

They are much stronger.

They swarmed forward like bees, almost unstoppable.

Even a true god who has attained immortality will be vulnerable if attacked by a large number of void creatures.

The only outcome is that their flesh and blood are devoured, turning them into food.

Of course, this is not because the extraordinary beings of the Origin Realm are weaker than the Void Creatures.

Rather, compared to the number of powerful beings in the Origin Realm, the Void Creatures have a larger base of powerful beings. In addition, being in the Origin Calamity, they are subject to erosion and interference, thus limiting their strength.

When fighting against void creatures of the same level, except for a few exceptional individuals, they are generally at a disadvantage.

However, the Origin Realm is too large.

In a short time, they want to completely erode the Origin Realm.

It's not something that can be done in a short time.

Not to mention.

Beyond this realm of origin.

And then there's the vast Sea of ​​Sumeru.

However, this is not the case for these void creatures.

They would love for more time, because that means they can enjoy a longer and more intense feast.

now.

In the star field where the original Boundary Tower was located.

A dilapidated black tower stands leaning against the starry sky, its body riddled with cracks, and the once brilliant runes on it have long since faded.

This was none other than the original boundary tower.

However, at this moment, all its spirituality has been lost, and its surface is covered with a layer of ethereal crystal.

It has been completely reduced to a piece of junk.

And not far from it.

A pale palace stands majestically, its design similar to the former White Emperor Palace, but even more somber.

Inside the hall, a faint light flickered.

A member of the Void Royal Family with curved horns on his head stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

He said in a deep voice, "Lord White Emperor, the thirteen Dao Lords of the Boundary Tower disappeared after the Boundary Tower was breached, and there has been no discovery of them yet!"

Upon hearing this, Takashi, seated on the throne, spoke.

He remained indifferent, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Even after the Boundary Tower is destroyed, its remaining power can still disrupt spacetime.

This allowed those Dao Lords to escape.

Given the abilities of these Dao Lords, capturing them in a short time would naturally be difficult.

"Keep looking."

He said lightly.

"No matter how well it is hidden, it will eventually reveal itself."

"Yes!"

The Void Royal Family member bowed his head and retreated.

At this time.

Takashi's gaze shifted slightly, landing on the side of the hall.

Two figures, one in red and one in green, stood silently; they were Miaoshan and Miaoyuan.

The two former Dao Lords of the Origin Realm now stand under his command.

"You two deserve immense credit for breaking through the Origin Realm this time."

Takashi spoke slowly.

"where!"

Miaoshan, dressed in a red monk's robe, smiled slightly.

"The White Emperor is chosen by Heaven, and we are merely following the trend; we dare not claim this credit!"

Speaking of it.

He paused and continued.

"However, although the Origin Realm has been breached, the remnants of those Dao Lords are still a problem."

"Could you please, Lord White Emperor, help my brother and me complete our transformation first? This way, we can better serve you!"

Transformation, as the name suggests, means transforming one's own essence, abandoning the imprint of one's origin world, and becoming a void creature.

This is also the main reason why the two of them betrayed the Origin Realm.

It's not difficult to complete the conversion.

Under normal circumstances, a Void King comparable to a true god could accomplish this.

However, doing so would consume a significant amount of the void creature's own essence.

Void creatures generally wouldn't choose to do something so strenuous and unrewarding.

Secondly, it can only transform into something weaker than itself.

They wanted to convert the two of them.

Ordinary Void Royals are clearly not qualified; only Ryūsō himself can do it.

It remains to be seen whether Takashi will break this agreement and take action against them.

Miaoshan was also unsure.

But even if they don't betray the Origin Realm, it's only a matter of time before the Void Sea invades and breaks through it.

Rather than that.

It's better to take a gamble.

"Transformation?"

Takashi's eyes flickered slightly.

They did not refuse.

The two are still useful; after the transformation, they can help him find the remaining Dao Lords.

Furthermore, transforming these two individuals could indirectly weaken the power of the True Spirit Gate.

Thinking of this, he opened his palm.

Two crystal-clear white crystals floated quietly above it, their soft halos swirling in the dim light.

"Don't resist, open your heart and accept it!"

Before the words were finished, the two crystals suddenly burst out with dazzling white light, streaking through the air like meteors and shooting straight towards Miaoshan and Miaoyuan.

Upon hearing this, the two neither dodged nor avoided, letting the light seep into their brows.

The moment the crystal touches the skin, it melts like water and silently merges into the body.

"The transformation will take some time. If there is nothing urgent, you may all leave now."

After doing all this, Takashi waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Miaoyuan and Miaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, they both made the right bet.

Watch the two people leave.

Ryuji closed his eyes. Leaning back on the throne, wisps of black primal energy flowed into his body.

That battle with Wan Gu Yi that day.

In the end, he clearly won.

However, he also paid a price for it.

He suffered considerable injuries, and now the transformation by Miaoshan and Miaoyuan has taken a toll on him.

He needs some time to recover.

But thankfully, it was all worth it.

After breaching the Origin Realm.

He pleased the Void Sea and received feedback from its source, which slightly improved his strength.

However, he had just closed his eyes.

As if sensing something, he suddenly opened his eyes.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

Look in a certain direction.

"The external calamity has actually disappeared... This Lord of Infinity..."

……

Inside the cave world.

In a star system.

At the very center, there lies a star that stretches across the sky.

The greater the mass of a star, the more intensely it burns, resulting in faster energy dissipation and a shorter lifespan.

The star in front of us is a massive star.

It was born from the primordial power of the cave world.

It has only been a little over 10,000 years since its inception.

This short period of time is insignificant compared to its lifespan of tens of millions of years.

In human terms, that's like a newborn baby.

Therefore, the light it emitted was extremely intense.

However, at this moment.

A black spot appeared at the very center of this star.

Sunspots are also known as sunspots.

The color difference is caused by the temperature being lower in one area compared to other areas.

Sunspots vary greatly in size, with some having a diameter of only a few hundred kilometers, while others can reach hundreds of thousands of kilometers in diameter.

But this one is a little different.

These dark spots appeared afterward.

It is spreading at an alarming rate, like a drop of ink on rice paper, quickly spreading out.

In just a few breaths, the eerie black spot had already eroded one-fifth of the star's surface.

From afar, a shocking, festering wound was visible on what should have been a brilliant and dazzling star.

The power of calamity surged and boiled within, so dense it was almost tangible, as if it were giving birth to some indescribable and terrifying existence.

At the same time, the brilliance of the entire star dimmed at a visible speed, as if its life essence had been drained away.

Deep within the black spot, a humanoid phantom was slowly coalescing, its aura surging exponentially.

He quickly reached the level of a true god and then headed towards becoming a Dao Lord.

As time went by, his form became more and more solid, and his appearance became exactly the same as Hu Qi's, except that his whole body was as black as ink.

"Hehe. I thought there was no hope in this world, but I never expected that the Origin Realm would give birth to such an anomaly."

The dark figure whispered, his voice brimming with barely concealed excitement.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, this is my glimmer of hope! Once I achieve my goal, I will retrace the path of transcendence, perhaps..."

Just as he said this...

Seemingly sensing something, he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eerie pupils that were now elongating and transforming into snake-like pupils.

His gaze was directed outwards, into his field of vision.

In an instant, the entire galaxy was enveloped by a gigantic maw like an abyss.

If you look into the distance, you'll see that it's actually a giant, pale serpent with a cold glint in its scarlet vertical pupils. The moment it appears, it swallows the star whole.

The intense light of a star's explosion only sparks a few insignificant wisps of fire between the closed, serpentine lips of its head.

And the planets that originally revolved around this star due to gravity.

Like a marble spinning on a string that suddenly breaks, it flies straight out in all directions along the tangent at the moment of breakage.

"So brave!!"

With a roar, the black spots on the star spread rapidly, turning the star into pitch black in an instant, and its size increased dramatically, as if trying to open the snake's mouth and escape.

"You think you can escape now that you're in my mouth?"

A mocking glint flashed in Hu Qi's scarlet snake eyes.

The cloud pattern formed by the Eye of Delusion on his forehead suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

It landed on the struggling black sun in his throat.

He had already sensed the extraordinary nature of this robber, so he launched a sneak attack the moment he appeared.

At this moment, the struggling black sun was completely suppressed by the dark golden divine light and could not move an inch.

"you……"

The black-clad figure's expression changed drastically.

But it was impossible.

He had absolutely no power to resist Hu Qi's Eye of Truth.

Gulu!

At that moment, the large sun protruding from his neck rolled down.

It entered the stomach.

The Devouring Spirit talent is activated.

This great sun was like a heated ice ball, quickly melting away.

The black-clad figure screamed incessantly.

It was absorbed and devoured by Hu Qi.

During this process, the black figure struggled frantically, but to no avail.

They could only die unwillingly.

This all happened too suddenly.

Until his death, he still didn't understand how the other party, who was clearly only at the Jade Realm, could suppress him.

Modified value +5123001 (51%)

"Um?!"

See this scene.

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

It's important to know that in the past, the modification value provided by killing a thief was extremely limited.

And this time, there are so many.

This is almost on par with the Dao Lord.

Moreover, the strength this person displayed was somewhat strange.

Just a moment ago, the aura he emitted almost reached the Dao Fruit level.

Without the Eye of Truth, he might not have been able to suppress it so easily.

at this time.

A flood of memories surged through his mind.

half an hour.

After Hu Qi finished digesting.

A flash of understanding crossed his eyes!
"I see!"

In the past, the thieves were all natives within his body.

But this time it's different.

That person was a Dao Master at the Dao Fruit Realm.

However, it was not any of the Origin Realm Dao Lords he knew.

Rather, he was a Dao Lord at the peak of the Dao Fruit realm, born countless epochs ago.

The Dao he has mastered is extremely unique.

It is a branch of the Water Avenue, called the Mirror Avenue.

The most incredible ability of this Great Dao is that it can copy everything, whether it's bloodline or supernatural power, and to some extent, it can even copy a portion of the power of other Great Daos for its own use.

This is why he was able to grow so quickly with only a wisp of remnant soul. It was partly due to the help of tribulation power, but more importantly, it was because he used the Mirror Path to replicate everything about Hu Qi.

And that's why he ended up here.

It was because after his fall, the remnant soul attached to the Gate of True Spirits, through the true name of the Lord of Infinity engraved on it, sensed that Hu Qi was undergoing an inner tribulation and used the Gate of True Spirits to connect with Hu Qi.

He wanted to use this to possess Hu Qi's body and live a second life.

The owner of this mirror possesses an astonishingly vast collection of memories.

But what interested Hu Qi the most was the cause of death of this Mirror Lord.

He was not killed by other Dao Lords.

With this Mirror Master's strength and mastery of the Mirror Dao, he is virtually invincible even among Dao Masters at the Dao Fruit Realm.

At that time, the Origin Disaster had not yet occurred.

This mirror master reached a point where his strength could not be improved further.

Then they wanted to explore higher realms.

Finally, they set their sights on the Gate of True Spirits.

He pushed open the door to the true spirit.

Then he died inside.
