Chapter 479: Golden Source Point Surge (3/3)

"War always has a time to end."

"Therefore, subside."

Facing the infinite war before him, facing this quagmire of war that had ensnared him deep within, wrapping around and merging with him, Li Heng spoke softly, pronouncing his judgment calmly.

The sound of his words was not loud.

But under the influence of Source Power, it transformed into invisible ripples, centered on Li Heng, undulating through the surrounding Void, effortlessly suppressing the "everything is war" emanated by the Gospel of War.

The infinite war behind the Gospel of War also gradually vanished and faded.

Everything returned to calm.

The golden giant was completely dumbfounded; what had just happened?

He rubbed his eyes, feeling that what was before him was an illusion.

But after rubbing them, it remained the same as before.

Was this actually real?

Why did a few words make the power of the Evil God of War dissipate? Could it be that these words persuaded the Evil God of War? But isn't that possibility just nonsense? How could that be possible?

And looking at the appearance of that Evil God of War, it didn't seem like it either.

"You, how did you do that?"

Just as the golden giant was completely unable to understand, the Gospel of War finally spoke, and it spoke in the language of living beings, not the series of hums it had emitted before.

This was enough to show that the roles of attacker and defender were gradually shifting.

"How I did it is not important; what is important is that I did it. However, do you still want to hold on?" Li Heng asked with a smile.

Of course, he felt extremely pained in his heart.

After all, this was an unknown amount of Source Power dumped into it; if it couldn't cause much damage to the Gospel of War, wouldn't he be making a loss?

"You, you won this time."

After a brief silence, the Gospel of War spoke softly, and then its figure also gradually vanished and faded, finally leaving only a transparent outline, yet it did not completely turn into Emptiness.

Although Li Heng had borrowed an astronomical amount of Source Power to pronounce that the war would end, causing the Gospel of War to lose the foundation of its existence and become what it was now.

But this bit of Source Power was ultimately unable to erase a powerful Disaster, especially since this Disaster was called the Gospel of War, and it even had the word "Gospel" at the end.

So it had not completely dissipated and turned into Emptiness yet.

In a sense, Li Heng had only spent so much Source Power to drive the Gospel of War into a weakened state, but as long as the Gospel of War was given time, it could still return.

Sure enough, the Gospel of War, which had turned into a transparent outline, began to gradually become solid again; although this speed of solidification was somewhat slow, it would not be able to return and interfere with the world without spending a few years.

But it was ultimately in the process of returning.

However, the golden giant on the side was not just standing there like a fool.

Striking while the iron was hot, an infinite power of sealing erupted, transforming into divine sealing chains to lock up the Gospel of War, which had turned into a transparent outline, and dragging it into a deep, silent state of sealing.

Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that there was that golden giant on the side.

If there hadn't been, he would have had to dump Golden Source Points into it.

After all, this Gospel of War really lived up to the word "Gospel," being ridiculously strong; no wonder it crushed him when it cheated, and even when he cheated, he couldn't kill it, unless he went bankrupt.

To truly deal with this kind of Terror of a Disaster.

He really had to ascend to the Sacred Realm first.

He was contemplating in his heart when a sensation suddenly came, and he was immediately surprised, because he discovered that even though he hadn't completely finished off the Gospel of War, Source Power had still been credited to him.

First was an astronomical amount of Source Power, which counted as making up for a bit of his losses; of course, this was still a loss, after all, he had just dumped all his Source Power into it.

But the Golden Source Points had added five hundred more for him.

From this point, he had made a huge profit.

Now he already possessed one thousand four hundred Golden Source Points!

Should one say it was worthy of being the Gospel of War?

Not completely finishing it off, but just causing it to fall into a weakened state, was enough to obtain Golden Source Points, and obtaining five hundred at once was equivalent to killing a Sacred being.

Now his Golden Source Points had crossed the one-thousand mark, and he was fully capable of turning that Illusionary Eternal Dao Fruit that Ye Xian had gifted him into True Reality.

And then obtain the Eternal Element through the Eternal Dao Fruit!

Li Heng clicked his tongue, suddenly finding the Gospel of War more agreeable.

At this moment, the golden giant was overjoyed; he had thought it was a dead end, but he hadn't expected it to be broken so easily. Now he only needed to deal with the Disaster of Self.

Although this Disaster of Self was mysterious and unpredictable, and had even driven the Evil God of War into a weakened state again just now, it was also highly likely that it had consumed a lot because of this, which could barely be considered a mutual destruction. And he was the seal guardian of this place; he had recovered quite a bit of sealing power just now, so he was still confident in dealing with one Disaster.

However, to avoid the situation from just now.

The golden giant made a prompt decision and directly sealed off the space-time region where the Disaster of Self was located, preventing the Disaster of Self from breaking through the seals of other regions like it had before.

Then, the next moment.

He saw a figure break through the Void and appear on this level, appearing beside the Disaster of Self.

The golden giant was instantly stunned; what was going on? He had clearly sealed that space-time region just a moment ago, so how could someone break through the Void and appear there the next moment?

Did they really think his blockade didn't exist?

However, he sensed the aura and discovered that this person was not some Disaster or monster, so he hurriedly spoke out. "That fellow Daoist, leave quickly; beside you is a Disaster, a monster, it is extremely dangerous!"

"So that's how it is, then many thanks to you, fellow Daoist, for the reminder."

"However, that won't be necessary."

Li Heng answered with a smile.

The person who had arrived was none other than Li Heng himself.

Although this level of sealed silence was hidden, through the analysis of the power of Infinite, he had still quickly learned the coordinates of this place and then broken through the Void to arrive here.

Not necessary?

The golden light giant frowned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, he realized with alarm that although this creature who had suddenly popped up had come beside the Self Calamity, this Self Calamity had not taken action against this creature.

In any case, it looked quite intimate.

Could it be that this creature and the Calamity were in cahoots?

But that shouldn't be.

A creature that hadn't even been tainted by the aura of a Calamity or a monster, how could it have the ability to be in cahoots with a Calamity or a monster? That's completely unrelated.

It was just like a human being in cahoots with the Sun.

There was no connection whatsoever, no logical necessity.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, this is no longer a Calamity; it is now named the Infinite Mechanism, and it has long since been controlled by me. Otherwise, why do you think it attacked that War Calamity just now?"

Seeing that the golden light giant remained vigilant, Li Heng explained with a smile.

The golden light giant was stunned for a moment.

Controlling a Calamity?

He immediately felt this was some kind of nonsense; was this person dreaming? Could a Calamity be controlled just because one wanted to? Did he really think the Sacred of the Heavenly Court hadn't tried back then?

But the next moment, he felt this might not be impossible.

After all, it was already a bit strange that the Self Calamity had inexplicably attacked the War Calamity just now, especially since that War Calamity had been released by the Self Calamity itself.

So, there really could be infighting between Calamities.

But they should have dealt with him first.

Instead of having an internal conflict before even resolving the external enemy.

"How can you prove that this Calamity is controlled by you?"

The golden light giant stood far away and asked aloud.

He was constantly wary of Li Heng, ready to use his means to add a few more layers of seals over there the moment he discovered any unusual movement; although it might not necessarily be effective, it at least provided some psychological comfort.

However, as he watched and sensed, he felt that the aura of this creature was somewhat familiar? Or rather, it was the aura that this creature had been tainted with that made him feel familiar...

Li Heng smiled slightly upon hearing this and did not say much more.

Although he had proof, he was too lazy to prove it.

What did the attitude of this golden light giant have to do with him?

If he didn't believe it, then so be it; he wouldn't lower himself to curry favor.

His thoughts stirred slightly, and an illusory ball of light appeared in his hand; it was precisely that illusory Eternal Dao Fruit gifted to him by Ye Xian back then.

Since his Golden Source Point had already broken through the one-thousand mark, he didn't intend to delay any longer; he would first turn it into True Reality and collect the Eternal Elements, just to be safe. Anyway, collecting one element didn't mean he had to immediately break through to become Sacred.

Then, the next moment, the golden light giant darted over suddenly, seemingly no longer afraid of the hidden danger.

"This is... an illusory Dao Fruit?"

He looked at the ball of light in Li Heng's hand and asked in surprise.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist recognizes it?"

"I recognize it, alright; it's a piece of chicken rib."

The golden light giant curled his lips, full of disdain.

"A piece of chicken rib, how do you explain that?"

Li Heng asked curiously.

"Useless to eat, a pity to discard—that is called a chicken rib. Although this illusory Dao Fruit has an Eternal aura and seems to be able to be used to achieve the Sacred, it is ultimately just illusory."

"If someone really wants to use this kind of Dao Fruit to achieve the Dao, it would be like fetching water with a bamboo basket, like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, becoming an illusory Sacred, and conversely, it would even ruin one's own Dao foundation."

The golden light giant explained.

"So that's how it is, but are there no other ways? For example, making this illusory Dao Fruit become real, then one could use this Dao Fruit to achieve the Dao and attain the Sacred, right?"

Li Heng asked again.

The golden light giant's expression suddenly became strange.

"This fellow Daoist, are you not pulling my leg? If one could make this illusory Dao Fruit become real, then one's own strength would already be Sacred; why would one still need this Dao Fruit?"

"Even if you have a Sacred-level elder, you could have your elder make this Dao Fruit come true, but that would also cause this Dao Fruit to be tainted with your elder's mark, which would also ruin this Dao Fruit."

Li Heng nodded upon hearing this.

So that was it; no wonder it was called a chicken rib.

Of course, for him, who possessed Source Power, this was instead a divine object.

"This fellow Daoist, may I ask your Dao name and background? Why do you have an illusory Eternal Dao Fruit on you, as well as some traces of the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods?"

After hesitating for a moment, the golden light giant finally asked. It was precisely these circumstances that made him let go of some of his guard and run over to Li Heng's side.

Li Heng smiled slightly and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, you think this Dao Fruit is a chicken rib, right?"

His words did not directly answer the golden light giant's question.

Although the golden light giant was a bit puzzled as to why Li Heng avoided the topic, he still nodded.

"That's right. Although attaining the Sacred is incomparably difficult, I hope you do not take the wrong path due to a momentary gain or loss; that would only make you regret it for the rest of your life."

Based on the appearance of this illusory Dao Fruit and the aura on Li Heng that made him feel familiar, he kindly advised Li Heng.

Afterwards, he looked at the Infinite Mechanism beside Li Heng, feeling even more bewildered. Because he discovered that this thing indeed no longer had the aura of a Calamity, and its entire body was overflowing with Infinite power.

Could it be that this thing was really controlled by this creature?

But this creature hadn't even reached the Sacred, right?

"Then it is no longer a chicken rib now."

Li Heng's thoughts stirred slightly, and one thousand Golden Source Points were consumed and burned, transforming into a profound and mysterious power that poured in; this Eternal Dao Fruit instantly transformed into True Reality, manifesting before the eyes of the golden light giant.
