Chapter 447: Great Explosion of the Light Sea

The Light Sea Calamity seemed to have consumed a great deal of power to manifest the Sacred Giant Hand, and at this moment it had grown weak, utterly unable to assist the giant hand in breaking free.

However, this Light Sea seemed to possess a modicum of intelligence; while Li Heng was dealing with the giant hand, it began to slowly fade and disappear.

Seeing this, Li Heng smiled slightly.

His Heaven and Earth Dharma Form had long since expanded, not only encompassing the Sacred Giant Hand but also this Light Sea; now that this Light Sea wanted to flee, it was already too late.

Sure enough.

The Light Sea, which had been slowly disappearing and fading, instantly rebounded, becoming solid once more, and then, just like that Sacred Giant Hand, it was continuously worn down by Li Heng, becoming listless and withered.

Li Heng cast his gaze toward that Sacred Giant Hand.

More information was parsed out by him.

Beyond knowing that the essence of the Sacred Giant Hand was Eternal, Li Heng also used Causality methods to investigate and clarify where the true Sacred Giant Hand was located.

It was not within the True Realm, but at the edge of the Great Void.

The edge known to the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods was very far from here.

An image vaguely emerged in Li Heng's eyes.

In the vast Void, a giant corpse with its right arm severed lay stretched out, silent and soundless, seemingly merged with the vast Void, devoid of the slightest vitality.

Except for that right hand.

The right hand was located beside the corpse, and dark red blood continuously dripped from the severed cross-section, sinking into the Void; it was unknown how long it had been flowing, and this was the true body of that Sacred Giant Hand.

That corpse was undoubtedly a fallen Sacred.

As for who this Sacred was, what faction they belonged to, why they had fallen, and what was the story behind that severed right hand, Li Heng did not know.

After all, the True Realm was too far from the edge of the Great Void; one could not even guess how many Worlds could fit into such a distance, so Li Heng did not intend to delve deeper into it.

If he were to go to the edge of the Great Void in the future, and if fate allowed, he could investigate it then. For now, the most urgent matters were Source Power, Golden Source Points, and the Central Great World.

Returning to his senses and confirming that no more information could be obtained from this Sacred Giant Hand, Li Heng directly increased his efforts, letting his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form rapidly wear down the giant hand to harvest Source Power.

In truth, so what if the essence of this giant hand was Eternal?

What was here was, after all, only a manifestation, not the original body.

Soon, the giant hand was worn away completely, and the Great Dao rules and Eternal essence radiating from within were devoured by Li Heng's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, allowing him to advance another step.

What made Li Heng feel even more pleasantly surprised was that destroying this giant hand not only yielded an immeasurable amount of Source Power, but his Golden Source Points also directly surged by fifty, which could be called a leap to the heavens in a single step.

If the Central Great World had more such giant hands or calamities, then gathering one thousand Golden Source Points did not seem all that difficult; it might even be easy.

In his pleasant surprise, Li Heng locked his gaze onto the Light Sea.

Although the Light Sea now looked somewhat weak and appeared dim and illusory because it had summoned that Sacred Giant Hand, Li Heng believed that a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and its essence was extremely high.

If he were to completely wear down this Light Sea Calamity.

He might be able to obtain even more Source Points than from that giant hand!

It just so happened that after breaking through to the Half-step Divine level, Li Heng did not intend to let this Light Sea Calamity go.

He immediately ordered a portion of the newly surged Source Power to be downgraded and converted into power targeting the Light Sea Calamity, and in coordination with his own Half-step Divine Power and Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, he wore down the Light Sea at full power.

A series of operations that ignored the inexplicable essence of the calamity!

Originally, Li Heng had no way to deal with the Light Sea Calamity.

Even after ascending to the level above the Creation Realm, the Half-step Divine level, Li Heng only felt that at most he could defeat the Light Sea and seal it, but wanting to completely wear it down was likely a bit doubtful.

After all, the calamity essence of the Light Sea was not something to be trifled with.

But unfortunately for it, he had Source Power, and having just destroyed the Sacred Giant Hand, he had harvested a huge wave of Source Power; the calamity essence of the Light Sea was nothing in front of Source Power—if he said he would wear it down, he would wear it down.

So now, Li Heng used his Half-step Divine power to expand his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form to seal this place, making it impossible for the Light Sea to leave, and then used Source Power to crazily wear it down.

The Light Sea had nowhere to flee and could not resist!

This situation was simply inconceivable to the Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun, who were outside the Light Sea.

Fellow Daoist Li / Your Excellency, are you completely wearing down the calamity?

In an instant, the man and the dragon both felt the World had gone mad.

Especially the Little Golden Dragon; although he was only a second-generation Immortal God, he was clear about the formidable nature of calamities. It could be said that a calamity could be sealed or defeated, but it could absolutely never be worn down.

This point had been personally verified by the Sacreds of the Heavenly Court.

But now, was this conclusion about to be overturned?

They wanted to doubt and question, but there was no need for Li Heng to lie to them. Moreover, they could truly feel that the Light Sea Calamity was disappearing bit by bit.

This disappearance was not a wearing down or confrontation of power levels, but an extinction of the essence of existence. Every second that passed, they could clearly perceive that the sense of the Light Sea's existence was growing weaker!

"Wujian once said that calamities are indestructible and can only be sealed. He even said that one of the missions for which he was born might be to seal calamities and imprison them in Wujian Hell, but now..."

Shaoyang Jun muttered to himself, incomparably bewildered.

If a calamity could be worn down.

Then what was the meaning of Wujian's birth?

Li Heng was unaware of the shock of the man and the dragon, but even if he knew, he would not bother to pay attention. Because now, as he wore down the Light Sea, his Golden Source Points were shooting up.

He had only worn down half of the Light Sea and had already obtained fifty Golden Source Points; if he wore it down completely, he would definitely obtain one hundred Golden Source Points, or even more!

This feeling was like watching the balance of one's bank card constantly rising, with an extra zero added to the end every second; it was simply incredibly satisfying.

The thousands of Golden Source Points needed in the future to gather the Three Elements.

That was no longer a dream!

However, as time passed, the Source Power consumption required to wear down the Light Sea began to increase.

Previously, wearing down one unit of the Light Sea's essence required consuming 0.5 units of Source Power. But now, to consume one unit of the Light Sea's essence, he had to consume 0.6 units of Source Power.

If the previous Source Power consumption was a straight line.

Then now it was a slanted line, an upward-sloping line.

After thinking for a moment, Li Heng reached a rough conclusion. It was highly likely that he had already worn down to the core of this Light Sea Calamity, and the indestructible calamity essence of the core was likely stronger, so the consumption was higher.

When he calculated it carefully, he cared even less. Because by wearing down the essence of the Light Sea Calamity, he could also obtain Source Power.

Previously, using 0.5 units of Source Power to wear down one unit of Light Sea Calamity essence could yield 0.8 units of Source Power, and now it only requires 0.6 units of Source Power.

At most, it just means earning a little bit less.

Even if the Source Power consumption continues to increase without capping, and in the end, it even requires 1.5 units or even 2 units of Source Power to wear down one unit of Light Sea essence, so what?

Now the progress of wearing it down is already past the halfway point, and Li Heng does not believe the Light Sea can hold out until that time. Furthermore, he has already accumulated a large reserve of Source Power to consume before then.

In the end, just as Li Heng expected, the Light Sea was completely grasped by him; before it could even hold out until a deficit in Source Power appeared, it had already been completely worn down, transforming into Source Power and Golden Source Points.

Li Heng not only did not lose out on this wave of Source Power, but he even made a small profit. Most crucially, he also obtained as many as 150 Golden Source Points, and adding the 50 given by the Shengsheng Jushou previously, the Golden Source Points he now possesses have reached as many as 200!

And as the Light Sea dissipated, Li Heng saw clearly what was originally on the opposite side of the Light Sea: a vast, boundless abyss, the Heavenly Abyss.

Opposite the Heavenly Abyss, a great world faintly emerged...
