Chapter 407: Black Fog Calamity

I do not know how the other Heaven and Earth, the regions, of the True Realm are.

Regardless, the True Realm near the Tianjian Sect has already been covered by a Black Fog with no visible borders, within which shadows and monsters roam, burying the Heaven and Earth that have already become ruins; it is incomparably despairing.

However, now, an uninvited guest has arrived!

Li Heng exerted the great power of the World-Creating Level to manifest two great Dharma Aspects: the Great Sun and the Boundless Earth. With the Great Sun hovering in the sky above his head and his feet treading upon the Boundless Earth, he charged and crashed through the Black Fog.

Such great momentum drew the attention of the monsters within the Black Fog.

These monsters attacked Li Heng one after another.

But before they could even get close to Li Heng, they were already purified by the radiance blooming from the Great Sun Dharma Image, turning into Emptiness. Even the stronger ones among them could at most only see Li Heng's figure.

Li Heng walked through the Black Fog like a harvester.

His own Source Power surged rapidly.

Not even half a day had passed, and his Source Power had already soared from the previous ten trillion to fifteen trillion! Even though it was still a drop in the bucket, this was something unimaginable when he was previously in the Xianshi Tiandi.

What's more,

this was because he had not yet encountered a World-Creating Level monster!

"Come on, send someone stronger, this is too boring."

Li Heng murmured to himself, not hiding his presence, blooming with aura, fearing that these monsters and the Black Fog would not target or attack him.

However, he was not in a hurry.

He had just tried to use his mind to probe the scope of this Black Fog, but discovered that even though his mind had already swept across more than a dozen Worlds, he could not perceive any borders; it was nearly infinite.

With this level of Black Fog, there was no need to worry about a lack of monsters.

Or a lack of Source Power.

However, constantly getting lost in the Black Fog was not a solution.

Li Heng thought for a moment and took out the aura that Xuanyang had given him earlier, intending to use this aura to identify the direction. While harvesting monsters and Source Power in the Black Fog along the way, he would also incidentally go to that Central Great World to get his hands on the item that enhances the Lighthouse's radiance.

"Hmm, I really am lost; it's actually to my lower left."

Li Heng murmured to himself, changed direction, and continued forward.

Days passed one by one.

Although there was no day or night within the Black Fog, Li Heng could sense through his body that he had been walking in the Black Fog for over half a month, crossing a distance of nearly a hundred Worlds.

In this half a month, he had gained a bountiful harvest.

His original ten-plus trillion Source Power had soared to a quadrillion, and he had also luckily encountered a few World-Creating Level monsters. After a battle, he had also obtained Golden Source Points.

Now, he already had ten Golden Source Points on him.

However, he still could not see the end of the Black Fog, and the nearly one hundred Worlds he had passed were all dead, silent ruins; there were no living beings at all, which was incomparably despairing.

This gave Li Heng a bit of a headache.

Constantly walking in the Black Fog was not a solution.

It was not that he could not stay; this Black Fog was his hunting ground for harvesting Source Power. If he could, he would love to stay forever and just practice until he became a Sword God of Ten-Mile Slope first.

But unfortunately.

This hunting ground, this leveling spot, was not very effective.

Along the way, the frequency of encountering monsters showed a trend of few, many, few. In the middle stage, he even encountered several World-Creating Level monsters in a row, which greatly surprised him.

But now, even if he desperately bloomed his aura, he could not attract a few monsters. It seemed that this Black Fog and these monsters had sensed Li Heng's strength and did not intend to provoke him.

He was a bit puzzled.

This Black Fog Calamity—would those monsters actually bully the weak and fear the strong?

"Alright then, if you won't let me farm monsters, then I'll farm you!"

Li Heng smiled coldly and set his sights on the Black Fog itself.

Previously, he had always been farming the monsters within the Black Fog and had no time to pay attention to the Black Fog that shrouded him. But now it seemed the time had come.

A farming spot should have the self-awareness of a farming spot.

Li Heng sighed, mobilized his Source Power, and combined it with himself, intending to simulate a power that could target this Black Fog Calamity.

He could sense that this Black Fog Calamity was essentially not as good as the various calamities he had encountered before; it was far below the Gospel Calamity and the Unknown Calamity, and not even as good as the calamity of the Grudge Slaves.

This gave him an opportunity to take action.

Li Heng sensed that to target this Black Fog Calamity, he would have to pay a hundred trillion Source Power. However, he already had a quadrillion Source Power, and since you can't catch a wolf without risking your child, he threw it in directly.

Soon, using Source Power, he simulated a power targeting the Black Fog Calamity. Li Heng integrated it into the Great Sun Dharma Image. The Great Sun Dharma Image bloomed with radiance, and the light shone upon the Black Fog, constantly wearing it down.

Previously, when he used the Great Sun Dharma Image to shine upon the Black Fog, he actually could not do anything to it at all; at most, he could make it retreat, but he could not wear it away at all.

But now he could.

Being able to wear away the Black Fog meant he could harvest Source Power.

Sure enough, as the Great Sun Radiance shone, Li Heng's Source Power amount kept jumping up continuously. Although it could not compare to the speed of hunting monsters before, it had the advantage of being continuous—anytime, anywhere, a steady stream.

It was estimated that it would not take long before he could turn a profit.

And finally, make a huge profit!

Another half a month passed.

Li Heng had filled back that hundred trillion Source Power and started to make a profit.

However, this Black Fog seemed to be a bit unwilling.

It was actually faintly repelling him, wanting to push him out of the Black Fog. The originally thick Black Fog had even started to become thin, allowing him to vaguely see outside the Black Fog.

It was like a scene of "You leave quickly, I won't eat you."

But Li Heng smiled coldly and exerted power to suppress himself, making himself as immovable as a mountain. It is easy to invite a god but hard to send one away! It would have been fine if you had just honestly let me farm monsters, but you had to make me take action.

Now you want me to leave? Too late!

Then, the Black Fog became anxious.

The Black Fog churned and surged incessantly around Li Heng, and one could even see shadows deep within the Black Fog; this seemed to be warning Li Heng to get out quickly, or else he would die!

Li Heng remained unmoved.

He had roughly figured out the bottom line of this Black Fog.

Although its power was Weird and its volume was vast, it fundamentally could not take action itself, much like how a human cannot do anything about the cancer cells within their own body. Its strongest means of interference was merely being able to influence the monsters of the Black Fog to attack him, and this was precisely what he was happy to see.

Those were great handfuls of Source Power and Golden Source Points!

Moreover, taking a step back, even if this Black Fog truly possessed some kind of Terror power that it had not yet used, he had enough Source Power to protect his own life, so there was no need to care about the deterrence of the Black Fog at all.

"Use whatever means you have quickly."

"Why are you, this Calamity, so wishy-washy!"

Li Heng spoke calmly.

This Calamity ought to have some intelligence, so a goading tactic could be used.

Following this, the Black Fog was enraged!

The thick Black Fog churned and surged, directly submerging Li Heng's figure, and various shadows deep within the Black Fog began to extend to the Infinite, beginning to approach Li Heng...

Time rolled on.

Perhaps a month had passed, or perhaps a year had passed.

Outside the Black Fog.

A gaze projected inside, somewhat puzzled.

How had this menacing Black Fog begun to grow thin?
