Chapter 467: The So-Called Heavens

"You, are you the old me?"

The God Embryo knitted his brows.

He suddenly discovered that although he had inherited Li Heng—that is to say, almost all of his own power—he had not inherited most of the old self's memories, possessing only a basic awareness that he was called Li Heng, along with some common knowledge.

Moreover, due to the missing memories, he could not truly complete his metamorphosis.

"Now that the new me has been born, the old me should pass away. Why do you still not disappear, clinging to life? Could it be that you have betrayed yourself, choosing to live even at the cost of abandoning the chance for self-sublimation?"

He continued to look at Li Heng and asked in confusion.

"Heh, I knew the path of self-sublimation would be fraught with obstacles, but I never expected the obstacle to be myself. The past me actually dared not face the facts, still wanting to live on in disgrace."

The God Embryo continued speaking, then gave a disdainful smile.

Li Heng's expression was subtle; the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he smiled.

"Are you really me? Are you Li Heng?"

Hearing this, the God Embryo was even more disdainful.

"Why am I not me, why am I not Li Heng? Could it be that for the sake of your own backward and pedantic life, you actually still want to oppose me, the true self, the true Li Heng?"

"Give up, you cannot beat me."

"I am still me, still Li Heng, yet I am a more transcendent person who has already taken a brand-new step, countless times stronger than you, this backward old self!"

As the God Embryo spoke, he slowly took a step forward.

In an instant, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form appeared behind him, then evolved further; within it, the clear and the turbid, Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, and the Five Elements mixed and blended together, then sublimated to open up a Heavens.

Within the Heavens, infinite universes appeared, layered one upon another, setting off the God Embryo's figure and making him appear like a God King above the Heavens, with infinite Worlds being born and dying within his eyes.

"Do you see? This is a further sublimated Heaven and Earth Dharma Form."

The God Embryo said with a light laugh.

"Although the old me had some natural talent and condensed a Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, it was ultimately backward, never taking the next step to sublimate the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form into a Heavens capable of containing infinite Great Thousand Worlds."

"The old me must eventually pass away and be eliminated."

Li Heng began to laugh.

"A Heavens? It is indeed a decent method. However, since you consider yourself to be Li Heng, why make a fool of yourself? This is merely the mind, nothing more than a place of obscure Void, not substance; this so-called Heavens is nothing but an Illusion."

"You, this God Embryo, is the new me trying to bluff?"

The God Embryo gave a dry laugh.

"The old me, who ultimately gave birth to heterodox thoughts and betrayed himself, truly has no discernment. Naturally, at the current stage, Li Heng's power cannot open up a Heavens, but as the new me, my realm has already reached it."

"Once I destroy you, this old self who has given birth to heterodox thoughts, and completely complete my metamorphosis to return to Reality, I will be able to attain the Sacred through the image of the Heavens, truly opening up a Heavens, just like this True Realm, just like the Heavenly Emperor who opened up this Immortal God Heavenly Court."

"How could you, this old self, imagine the great power of this realm?"

"Sigh, your 'Demonic Embryo' perspective is truly small."

Li Heng shook his head with a sigh.

He wanted to laugh just looking at the Heavens and universes behind the new me.

What this God Embryo spoke of was nothing more than what he had already finished playing with.

Why did he condense the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form? It was to encompass all Reason, achieve all roots, and walk his own path, not to merely open up a Heavens and limit himself.

In this Da Xu Kong, what can a Heavens do? What if one can create and destroy infinite Great Thousand Worlds? Do you not see that this True Realm, which contains Heavens within and accommodates infinite worlds, has already fallen?

Facing the Calamity.

The so-called Lord of a Heavens is ultimately powerless.

"Perspective is small? Ridiculous, you, this old self, are daydreaming again. Evolving the Heavens and opening up the Heavens is already a supreme Great Dao in the Da Xu Kong; what other path could surpass it?"

"This is an intuition from the obscure depths; it cannot be false."

The God Embryo remained extremely disdainful.

Li Heng shook his head even more.

It seems that bringing this God Embryo out to replace his own Calamity was not much of a success. Not only could it not obtain his fundamental memories, such as those regarding his transmigration, but even the upper limit of its power was nothing special—opening up a Heavens is a supreme Great Dao?

The perspective is small!

As a transmigrator, one's ambitions should at least align with the Da Xu Kong.

Is opening up the Da Xu Kong not much better than opening up a Heavens?

However, if Li Heng's thoughts were known to others, he would likely just be called arrogant, a child bragging.

How vast is the Void? What can truly be called the Great Formless is something all living beings can only explore like blind men touching an elephant, unable to glimpse the full picture; who would dare to arrogantly say they could open up the Da Xu Kong?

Wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off?

On this point, what the God Embryo said was not wrong.

Li Heng was indeed daydreaming, if not for Source Power...

"Forget it, I should not waste time with you, this old self. I will simply crush you to death and let you, this old self, pass away completely. I am the true, newly born Li Heng."

The God Embryo closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again and said.

He was now the true Li Heng, the true self, having inherited all the power. As for this old self before him, it was merely clinging to life; to him, it was not worth mentioning, to be crushed to death with a wave of his hand.

Subsequently, his mind stirred, and the Heavens behind him evolved, surging with terrifying killing power.

This symbolized his realm, symbolized his Great Dao, and likewise symbolized the crushing power of himself, the new me, over the backward old self!

Watching the killing power surge toward Li Heng, the God Embryo smiled and said, "Rest assured, old self, the process of your death will be quick; it will not be painful. I will not hold any resentment toward you either; after all, the backwardness of the old self is destined to be cowardly and afraid of death, which is not surprising."

"Putting on such a show inside one's own heart, all flash and no substance."

Li Heng shook his head with a sigh, and a simple Heaven and Earth Dharma Form appeared behind him; in terms of special effects, it was far, far inferior to the Heavens Dharma Form behind the God Embryo.

But as the killing power reached him, it slowly transformed into a breeze, blowing past and only managing to stir a few strands of black hair, finally returning to calm.

The God Embryo revealed a look of astonishment.

"This is impossible!!!"

Li Heng gave a dismissive laugh.

"Why is this impossible? You don't even know my true power, yet you recklessly alter the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. Do you think you are truly me, and have truly inherited all my power?"

He hadn't even used Source Power for protection just now; he had merely used a portion of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form's power to block this force of killing from the heavens and make it dissipate.

"This shouldn't be; the heavens should be completely victorious over Heaven and Earth!"

The Divine Fetus muttered to itself, full of disbelief.

"Do you still not understand? Your so-called heavens, this further evolution of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, is actually an insult to the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form; it directly lowers the status of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form."

Li Heng chuckled aloud.

"Impossible, you are lying to me! Hmph, the backwardness of the old self can never surpass the new self. I will let you see my strongest power; no matter what trump cards you are hiding, you cannot defeat me!"

The Divine Fetus said coldly, the heavens evolving behind it.

But Li Heng couldn't be bothered to wait.

"Flashy and useless."

He lightly raised a finger, infused it with Source Power, and then simply shot out a beam of light that easily pierced through the Divine Fetus's heavenly defense, completely blasting it to pieces and quickly ending the battle.

Oh? So there is Source Power and Source Point?

After destroying this Divine Fetus, Li Heng sensed the Source Power arriving. But before he could figure out how much it was, a colossal object emerged before his eyes in this dim Void...
