Chapter 570 Swallowing Ryuji alive【2】

Within the void.

Hu Qi looked down from his high vantage point, gazing at the source of the spiritual energy of this vast sea of ​​Sumeru.

The gate of the true spirit through which the Dao Lord entrusts his true name.

He could clearly perceive that subtle connection between himself and it.

It felt like a blood connection, but deeper than that.

As he advanced to the next level of cultivation, and the distance between them grew closer.

This feeling grew stronger.

He could clearly sense that the Gate of the True Spirit was decaying.

If I had to use a metaphor, it would be like an elderly person who is critically ill and only clinging to life.

Compared to what I had seen before, the Gate of True Spirits before me was much larger.

Wisps of black mist were still seeping out from the cracks in the tightly closed door.

See this scene.

Hu Qi's eyes flashed.

Considering the information obtained from the Mirror Master, this calamity itself originated from the depths of the Gate of True Spirits.

Therefore, I wasn't too surprised by this scene.

His gaze swept around the room.

Nothing was discovered afterward.

Hu Qi looked at the True Spirit Gate, which had turned almost completely black, and reached out his palm to grab it.

The Gate of True Spirits is not small in size; on the contrary, it is quite large.

At first glance, it was incredibly majestic, far larger than what I had seen when I advanced to the Dao Fruit stage.

If we were to make a comparison, its size is nearly that of a star, standing there quietly, its dense black aura piercing through the endless void like roots.

It is virtually impossible to shake them or take them away using ordinary means.

But compared to Hu Qi's current manifested form, this Gate of True Spirits was nothing.

however.

As if sensing his intention, the inky black mist on the door suddenly surged, solidifying like a living thing, and swept towards him, trying to block his hand.

See this.

Hu Qi's expression remained unchanged.

Just snorted coldly.

"roll!!"

As he uttered the word, countless true patterns seemed to flow within his palm, transforming into an invisible barrier that instantly dispersed the surging black mist.

Immediately, he pressed his five fingers firmly against the enormous gate of true spirits.

His arm suddenly swelled up, muscles bulged, and power surged as he tried to grab it by force.

Even with Hu Qi exerting all his strength, the Gate of True Spirits remained unmoved, as if it had been there since time immemorial, integrated with the void.

He frowned slightly, suddenly withdrew his hand, and then threw a punch.

--boom! ! !

A deafening roar erupted, like the first thunderclap at the beginning of time.

boom! boom! boom!
In an instant, he unleashed tens of millions of punches, the force of which poured down like a torrential rain, repeatedly striking the door.

Each strike was enough to tear apart star fields and pierce through galaxies.

However, when it landed on this gate of true spirits, it only caused a series of loud noises and tiny cracks that kept appearing and disappearing in the surrounding void.

These cracks had barely appeared before they healed.

The Gate of True Spirits remains intact, without even a trace left behind.

Not a single piece of the black substance on it fell off.

All power was swallowed up and dissolved by it.

The feeling was as if this door had long since coexisted and grown with the entire void, taking root in the eternal void.

Unless the entire virtual sea is uprooted.

Otherwise, no matter how hard one tries, it would be impossible to move this gate of true spirits even a fraction of an inch.

Clearly, even with Hu Qi's current strength, it's impossible for him to shake the entire Void Sea.

Not to mention that the Void Sea and the Gate of True Spirits have almost become one.

The true form of this Void Sea and the Source Calamity is not just this small part, but originates from the depths of the Gate of True Spirits.

It seems.

The plan to bring out the Gate of True Spirits is simply impossible.

After all, if even he, with his current strength surpassing the limits of the Dao Fruit Realm, cannot do it, who else in this world could?!
This idea was rejected by Hu Qi as soon as it came up.

No, those who can become Dao Lords are certainly not fools who wouldn't even think of this.

The fact that dozens of Dao Lords were able to mobilize to fight to the death indicates that they must have a certain degree of confidence in success.

It's impossible not to deduce this.

So now this situation has occurred.

There is only one other possibility.

That means the Origin Realm might be breached.

This is related to the deepening erosion caused by the power of the source disaster.

After all, to some extent, the Origin Realm can be seen as the most important part of the entire Sumeru Sea.

Accompanying this was its intrusion.

As the source of spirituality, the Gate of the True Spirit is naturally also affected.

"No wonder Nalongshi didn't show up to stop me!"

A strange look appeared on Hu Qi's face.

He had felt something was off before.

After killing Xiriya, Miaoshan, and Miaoyuan.

He originally thought that Takashi would be waiting for him here.

But to my surprise, the place was completely empty.

There wasn't even a single void creature guarding this place.

This situation is obviously abnormal.

It was as if the other party wasn't worried at all about him being able to take away the Gate of True Spirits.

Perhaps I knew it would turn out this way.

Think of this.

Hu Qi lowered his gaze, focusing on his palm.

At the point of contact with the Gate of True Spirits, several black marks quietly spread out, clinging to it like living things.

As if from prolonged contact, the black substance on the door had seeped into his palm.

This black substance was far more terrifying than the surrounding primordial fog.

From a microscopic perspective.

These black substances, like slender worms, seemed to be alive, constantly burrowing into his palm.

Even through the barrier of distorted light, one could still feel an eerie, almost penetrating sensation, as if it were about to break through the light barrier and invade the body at any moment.

If contact continues, even with the distorted light, it will likely be difficult to block it.

Prolonged exposure could have unimaginable consequences.

But fortunately.

After leaving the Gate of True Spirits, this black substance was like water without roots, and it was not difficult to remove it.

Think about this.

His arm jerked violently, and a surge of power forcefully twisted and destroyed the encroaching black mark, turning it into nothingness.

Hu Qi's gaze then fell upon the Gate of True Spirits.

"Unshakeable?! I refuse to believe it!"

The words fell.

He rubbed his fingers across his forehead.

hum!
Dark gold cloud patterns then appeared.

This eye of delusion broke open once more.

Suddenly, lines, some bright and some dark, appeared before his eyes.

A flood of information rushed into his eyes from all around.

Look toward the Gate of True Spirits.

His eyes paused.

Right now.

The Gate of True Spirits, and the black marks within it, became slightly distorted under his gaze.

Meanwhile, some scattered information appeared.

...Dimension...Source of Calamity...Reality...

As this information came in, Hu Qi felt a little uncomfortable.

"Even the Eye of Truth cannot analyze it?"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

This was also what he expected.

Whether it is the Gate of True Spirit, which serves as the source of spirituality and is inscribed with the true name of the Dao Lord, or the Source Calamity and the Void Sea, which can erode everything.

They have clearly surpassed the Dao Fruit Realm, so analyzing them is not so simple.

Think about this.

He stopped analyzing.

Although continuing would likely yield more information.

However, it may also backfire and cause harm to oneself.

This is not conducive to the current situation.

and.

He opened the Eye of Truth not to analyze the Gate of True Spirit, but for something else.

The Eye of Illusion, as an advanced talent of the Three-Eyed Serpent's Eye, is not only capable of analysis and etherealization, but also has the power of attack and purification.

A thought.

Within the Eye of the Source of Delusion

An even more powerful dark golden light suddenly shone forth, like a great sun rising from the abyss.

The moment the golden light appeared.

The dense fog of primordial calamity surrounding them instantly dissipated, vanishing without a trace.

And the moment that light shone upon the Gate of True Spirits.

--laugh!!
The previously silent door trembled slightly.
Like snow meeting boiling water.

The black substance attached to it quickly vaporized and dispersed into the surrounding area.

The glimpse of the golden gate of true spirits, which had been revealed, emitted a light that resonated with the light of the Eye of Truth.

"It really works!"

A smile appeared on Hu Qi's face.

If that doesn't work, then he'll have to give up on the idea of ​​taking the Gate of True Spirits and instead choose to kill Ryuji first.

……

Just as Hu Qi used the Eye of Truth to forcibly remove the mark on the Gate of True Spirits.

Origin realm.

No, it should be the entire Sea of ​​Sumeru. All beings who have reached the level of true gods.

They all seemed to sense something, and their bodies trembled.

A picture appeared before my eyes.

This is the scene where Hu Qi shakes the gate of the true spirit.

"...Lord of Infinity..."

In an instant, this message appeared in the minds of all these beings.

My heart was inexplicably shocked.

After the Great Dao manifested previously.

The existence of the Gate of True Spirits is no longer a secret.

Naturally, they knew what this move meant.

In particular, some of the Dao Lords understood just how difficult it was to enter the Void Sea and find the Gate of True Spirit.

This is as difficult as an ant trying to climb to the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Hu..."

A painting buried deep underground begins to glow faintly.

The scroll is unfurled.

A peach orchard was revealed.

At this moment, the scene seemed to come alive.

In one corner of the painting, a graceful figure sits in a wooden pavilion, her hand holding a cup of tea pausing slightly.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

This person is no one else.

It was Yao Yue, the owner of the painting.

The Boundary Tower had been breached previously.

These high and mighty Dao Lords were like stray dogs, forced to flee.

They each used their own means to eke out a living.

I thought it was a done deal.

Unexpectedly, Hu Qi, who should have been completely sealed away, not only broke free but also ventured deep into the Void Sea and found the Gate of True Spirit.

"Fine! Rather than prolonging my life in vain, I'd rather fight to the death!"

A flicker of struggle crossed Yao Yue's eyes, which quickly turned into resolve.

She took a step forward without hesitation, soaring into the sky from the depths of the earth's crust where she was hiding.

The pressure belonging to the Dao Lord descended with a roar, sweeping across the star field.

Within this star field, void creatures below the level of a Mortal Dao Lord were flattened and elongated by an invisible force before they could even scream, as if they had been transformed into two-dimensional beings.

They all collapsed and turned into cosmic dust.

Just then, three powerful auras comparable to Dao Lords approached, pressing down menacingly.

It was the three Void Royals nearby.

Be aware of this.

Yao Yue knew that with her own strength, she was no match for the three Void Royals.

With a flick of his wrist, a blood-red seed appeared.

It was the Sage Seed she had obtained through her previous trade with Hu Qi.

She clenched her fingers together and suddenly crushed it.

The Seed of the Sage exploded, transforming into light that surged into her body.

In an instant.

The jade hairpin in her hair shattered with a snap, and her three thousand strands of black hair danced wildly like ink.

As his robes fluttered, his aura rose steadily, leaping from the pinnacle of Dao Realm to the realm of Dao Fruit!

Behind him, an ancient scroll unfolded, obscuring the stars and encompassing the entire star field under the laws of painting.

Then, she faced the three Void Royals charging towards her alone.

Then, a violent and terrifying roar resounded throughout the star field.

……

boom! ! !
A decaying star was cleaved in two by a powerful axe strike.

Amidst the churning gray fog.

A giant rose to the sky, his waist wrapped in animal skin, his muscles like dragons, and he held an ancient, massive axe. It was none other than 'Pan'.

He swung his axe, the axe light like the purest and most powerful energy at the beginning of creation.

Wherever it passed, void creatures collapsed like a tide, crumbling upon contact and dying instantly, turning into endless black mist and dissipating.

Beneath the giant axe, all things are reduced to nothingness!
"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Hu, well done! I'll lend you a hand! Kill!"

The sound of the 'pan' was like a thunderclap. He took a step forward and charged into the source of the calamity mist ahead.

……

Yao Yue and Pan are not isolated cases.

at the same time.

In various parts of the Origin Realm, the remaining Dao Lords.

They also made their move at the same time, revealing their auras and beginning to fight with the void creatures.

They did this not out of momentary anger, nor for Hu Qi's sake.

Rather, they understood that they had no choice but to do so.

Using the Dao Lord's methods, he wanted to hide himself and avoid being discovered.

This is not a difficult task.

However, the problem is that the Dao Lord is bound to the Gate of True Spirits.

As the corruption of the Gate of True Spirits intensifies, the Dao Lord will also perish.

Continuing to hide is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

It was one thing to not see any hope before.

But now, the last glimmer of hope is right in front of us.

Naturally, we must take a gamble to buy Hu Qi more time and restrain some forces.

This is the only thing they can do.

……

Go back a few minutes.

Origin realm.

The shattered boundary tower still leans against the starry sky.

Deep inside the palace on one side.

Ryuji sat high on the Crystal Throne.

His expression was indifferent, his gaze icy.

Looking down over everything in the hall.

"act recklessly."

His voice was cold, echoing in the empty hall.

"Even with the support of the will of the Origin Realm and your control of the Tower of Boundaries, you were no match for me."

"Looking at myself like this, you dare to attack me?"

Inside the palace.

The three figures were enveloped in a layer of black crystal and frozen in place.

There was a boy, a young man, and an old man.

They are truly one of a kind throughout the ages.

"Your strength... has actually reached such a level!"

Wan Gu Yi Speaks.

His gaze swept over the gradually spreading burial crystals around him.

His face was ugly.

He had not expected that Takashi's power would surge to such an extent.

I originally wanted to burn my source energy to delay things for a while.

The result was just a single glance.

The three of them were completely defeated.

"I know you're just trying to buy time for that Lord of Infinity."

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Takashi's lips.

"Unfortunately, you simply don't understand that the Gate of True Spirits has already completely merged with the Void Sea, and it's no longer possible..."

The words have not yet fallen.

He suddenly paused.

His indifferent expression suddenly shattered.

It turned into unparalleled shock and rage.

Takashi suddenly looked up.

His gaze pierced the depths of the void like a sharp sword.

"How dare you! You have the audacity?!"

……

Deep within the Void Sea lies the Gate of the True Spirit.

The black marks on the original True Spirit Gate have been partially cleared away by the illusory power of the Eye of Truth.

However, as the clearing process progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult.

But fortunately.

The situation is much better now than before.

Hu Qi reached out and grabbed it directly, applying force.

—Click click click!

The surrounding void began to crack like a mirror.

The previously unmoving Gate of True Spirits began to shake.

See this scene.

Hu Qi grinned maliciously and suddenly exerted force with his palm.

Accompanied by a series of 'bang bang bang' breaking sounds.

The entire Gate of True Spirits was pulled directly from the depths of the Void Sea by Hu Qi.

Beneath the door, roots intertwined, and countless twisted, eerie black tentacles continued to dance wildly.

Just as he was about to put it away.

Hu Qi paused.

Suddenly, he looked up.

The void suddenly roared, and a giant hand materialized from the endless heights, as if bearing the weight of all the stars in the heavens, and crashed down!

Before the palm print even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the void to collapse, forming one twisted abyss after another.

The power of the laws crumbled inch by inch, emitting a piercing wail, utterly unable to withstand this force.

The space around Hu Qi was completely sealed off, as if he had fallen into an invisible quagmire, where even time seemed to stand still.

His figure was like dust under that giant hand, like an ant, about to be crushed into powder in the next moment!
