Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 86 The millstone is like a sickle, and all living beings are like leeks!

The more Taihao thought about it, the funnier it became, and his mood improved.

"Hahaha, old man Hongjun! You thought you had outsmarted me, but little did you know, you had actually made me who I am!"

"With this innate merit, the Primordial Measuring Ruler can definitely advance to the next level, to say nothing of anything else."

"At least advance to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!"

Soon, Taihao had an answer in his mind about how to use innate merit.

That is, it is used on the measuring rod!

And using it on this will definitely not be a waste.

Because the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler is his innate treasure, it also served to measure the heavens and earth when Taihao Heaven was created, helping Taihao to better control Taihao Heaven.

However, after Taihaotian was upgraded to Taihao Realm, the innate treasure-level Measuring Ruler became somewhat inadequate.

However, Taihao also needs the Measuring Ruler, since the opening of the Taihao Realm was actually somewhat of a shortcut, and he may not be able to fully control it in a short period of time.

Therefore, the advancement of the Primordial Measuring Ruler is highly likely!

Without hesitation, Taihao poured his innate merits into the Measuring Ruler.

He didn't want to put things off until later, because he was eager to take control of this world right now.

To Taihao's surprise, the Merit Treasure was upgraded in a very short time.

Almost instantly, the merit was invested, and the treasure of merit changed the moment afterward.

Then, in the blink of an eye...

A mysterious and profound primordial treasure was suddenly born!

The time required for the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to advance truly surprised Taihao.

Because it's too short.

Taihao simply poured his innate merits into the Measuring Ruler, and without any prompting, it completed the transformation on its own.

It has changed from a Primordial Treasure to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!

Prior to this, Taihao had even made preparations to wait for at least a dozen or so cycles.

I thought it would be like the two sides and two stations being promoted, requiring me to wait...

long time.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if it takes hundreds of eons for a Chaos Treasure to be created, it's probably not that big of a deal.

It is even normal to calculate using the concept of "eternal kalpa".

After all, even among the three thousand demon gods, not every one of them possesses a Chaos Treasure.

That is why Taihao was so surprised.

However, he quickly came to terms with it.

"Truly worthy of being called innate merit; it certainly cannot be judged by ordinary standards!"

Taihao attributed the reason for the short duration to the mysterious power of innate merit. And indeed, that was the case.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Taihao is already at the late stage of Hunyuan, a very high realm.

However, one can still use innate merits to improve their cultivation level!

There just aren't that many.

Anyway, it's far from enough to break through again.

Therefore, it is appropriate to use one's innate merits on the measuring rod of heaven.

As for merits after birth

That was no longer of much use to Taihao.

Because the Golden Lotus of Merit has become a supreme treasure, even if Taihao wanted it to advance, it couldn't be done with acquired merit. No matter how special the Golden Lotus of Merit is, it wouldn't work.

Only those with innate merit can achieve this.

Moreover, Taihao did not want the Golden Lotus of Merit to advance further; the innate supreme treasure was the limit.

Then, one can use acquired merits to improve one's cultivation level...

Thinking of this, Taihao couldn't help but shake his head.

If he were only at the mid-stage of the Hunyuan realm, he might be able to improve a bit more.

But with his current cultivation level, no amount of acquired merit could improve his strength by even a fraction!

However, to be honest, good deeds done after birth do have some effect.

Although this function does not directly benefit Taihao.

But it is indispensable.

This caused Taihao to fall into deep thought for a moment.

"When the primordial world was still intact, whenever a cultivator did something beneficial to it, the Heavenly Dao would bestow merit as a reward, creating various extraordinary phenomena, and even using these phenomena to illuminate the entire primordial world!"

"Similarly, in the Taihao Realm, if a cultivator's actions benefit Taihao, then it is only right that merit be bestowed upon them!"

"After all, after the Taihao Realm, the Taihao Heavenly Dao and the Primordial Heavenly Dao were equivalent!"

"But the key problem is that I haven't accumulated enough merit..."

Taihao did not lack merit, but rather his merits were insufficient.

And it is far from sufficient.

Unless he hadn't chosen to let Jinlian advance in the first place, he could have held on for a long time.

In any case, with his current merits, the Golden Lotus is insufficient to support the operation of a Primordial Chaos World.

Therefore, Taihao had to find another way.

"Could it be that we should use innate merits?"

After the Measuring Ruler was fully upgraded, there was still some left.

Although the remaining amount is insufficient to create another Chaos Treasure, it is still a considerable sum considering the special nature of innate merit.

However, the idea of ​​using innate merit to reward all living beings only lingered in Taihao's mind for a moment before he forgot about it.

Rewarding disciples or figures like Houtu is nothing special.

But for other cultivators, it's completely impossible.

Even if there is no merit, Taihao will not reward innate merit; he would rather not give it at all.

Because innate merit is so precious, every bit used is a bit less.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"No! There must be another way!"

"Since merit is so useful, it cannot appear out of thin air; there must be a trace of it!"

Merit can be applied to almost all areas, and its scope of application is much wider than that of luck.

What luck can achieve, good deeds can achieve too.

For example, it can speed up the process of understanding, or enhance the ability to comprehend the laws.

In addition, accumulating merit can directly improve one's cultivation level!

It can even be used to train treasures.

Then there's no need to even mention cultivating the Golden Lotus of Virtue.

It has countless ingenious uses.

"Fortune is the manifestation of the world's power, which is why even sages are moved by it."

"Incense is the embodiment of the will of all living beings, so it is both useful and poisonous."

"So what is merit?"

Taihao thought and calculated at the same time.

Before long, he had a general idea in his mind.

However, just as he was thinking this, an extremely terrifying fluctuation suddenly appeared outside the Taihao Realm. With Taihao's cultivation level, he could even see the world barrier trembling!

It seemed unable to withstand this terrifying pressure.

Taihao was taken aback at first, then realized where the oppressive aura came from.

At the same time, the suspicion in my heart turned into certainty.

"Merit is actually a product of countless eons!"

The next instant, the origin of the terrifying fluctuations also verified Taihao's idea.

It is precisely because of the vastness of time that merit exists!

"When the Dragon-Han Great Calamity ended, the Great Millstone of Annihilation was absorbing things that I couldn't see through at the time?"

Clearly, a battle that split the primordial world in two is definitely worthy of being called a great calamity!

Moreover, its scale far exceeds that of the Lich War in the history of the primordial era.

Even surpassing the Dragon-Han Era!

The Great Millstone of Annihilation appeared during the Dragon-Han Calamity, so it's even more likely to appear now.

Unlike last time, there are no traces that need to be erased.

What they have in common is that they can absorb something mysterious and profound!

And this time, the quantity far exceeds that of the Dragon-Han Calamity!

This also shows how devastating this great calamity was, after all, the Taihao Realm is less than half the size of the prehistoric world!

The more Taihao perceived this thing, the more alarmed he became.

A word even came to mind, and then he blurted it out.

"Chinese chives?"

"The millstone is like a sickle, and all living beings are like leeks to be harvested!"

"With each great calamity's rise and fall, a new world-destroying millstone appears?"

The reason for this idea is that the thing is clearly related to the scale of the kalpa; the larger the scale, the more of it there is.

Conversely, the larger the value, the smaller it is.

If I had to describe what this is, there are only four words to describe it.

The aura of a great calamity!

More importantly, Taihao also sensed the importance of the Great Calamity Qi through the pulsation of the Taihao Heavenly Dao.

Even the Taihao Heavenly Dao was instinctively absorbing the tribulation energy!

Furthermore, the calamity energy was placed in the Merit Pool, where the Golden Lotus of Merit was nurtured and advanced!

Upon seeing this, Taihao instantly understood.

"If that's the case, then isn't this immense eon the source of merit?"

Although the energy of a great calamity is not the same as merit, Taihao was 100% certain that it was the source of merit by understanding its changes!

After realizing this, Taihao's attitude toward the World-Destroying Millstone changed.

Prior to this, he hadn't given much thought to the World-Destroying Mill.

At most, it's just observation, to see if we can figure something out.

He even conceived the idea of ​​taking the Chaos Treasure-level World-Destroying Millstone for his own use!

It has to be said that this idea is very bold.

However, given Taihao's current cultivation level, it is not impossible.

However, not long after, Taihao abandoned this idea.

Therefore, the world-destroying millstone that appears here at this moment is not the real thing, but a projection!

After a moment's thought, Taihao understood why it was a projection.

The reason is very simple.

Chaos is infinitely vast; besides this world, there is also outer chaos! And if nothing unexpected happens, the number of outer chaos is also infinite!

So every moment, many worlds will be destroyed, and many worlds will enter a great calamity.

If there is only one Great Millstone of Annihilation, and it cannot be divided into projections, how can it travel back and forth between many worlds?

Thinking of this, Taihao couldn't help but have a guess.

Perhaps the reason why the Great Millstone of Annihilation can travel back and forth through many worlds and erase the traces of the Dao is because it has been absorbing the energy of the Great Calamity.

Is the calamity energy the source of power?

Taihao did not dwell on this issue for too long, but instead mobilized his magical power to prepare to focus his energy on another matter.

After all, even if he understood the World-Destroying Millstone, he couldn't possibly summon its true form.

Instead of doing that, we should think about how to fight back and humiliate them!

Taihao, in the late stage of Hunyuan, had the confidence that he would not back down even when facing the true form of the Great Millstone of Annihilation.

They even dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!

The Great Millstone of Annihilation – just from its name, you know it's not to be trifled with.

What's more, the things it does are so unimaginable.

They can be called the "scavengers" of the long and winding river!

Its power is so terrifying that if a cultivator below the Hunyuan level were to observe it, it wouldn't take long; just a glance would be enough to annihilate both body and soul!

Only Taihao, an existence who allows the true spirit to transform and cultivates an indestructible primordial spirit ahead of time, can be an exception!

Even so, Taihao was still physically and mentally unstable at that time.

However, things are much better now. Even if Taihao directly observes the World-Destroying Millstone, he will not be affected in the slightest.

They even dared to attack him!

The next instant, Taihao's idea became reality!

The power of the Taihao Law surged forth, directly drawing upon the Law of Force to connect with other laws, unleashing its strongest attack from the very first strike!

Bombard the millstone!
