Chapter 492: The End of the Dao: The Three Pure Heavens

This strike could cleanse the heavens and shatter the ages.

After all, aside from Li Heng's personal power, there was also the Sacred-level Eternal Power and Infinite Power. With these three forces blended together, even a veteran Sacred being could not withstand it.

The Spirit of the Throne remained silent for a moment, still not optimistic.

Although he was indeed surprised that Li Heng could unleash such a powerful strike—an attack of this magnitude, even in the Heavenly Court where the Sacred once gathered, few could block it, and they could only avoid its edge.

But what Li Heng had to face.

Was the Unknown Disaster that could crush the Heavenly Court head-on!

Even if this Unknown Disaster had shed its unknown nature and become known, and even if this Unknown Disaster was merely a fragment and not the original body, it was still extremely terrifying!

Back then, many Sacred beings in the Heavenly Court could not even defeat its fragments.

The Unknown Calamity emitted an indescribable humming sound, seemingly out of anger, or perhaps confusion as to why it had turned into this form, yet it ignored Li Heng's strike.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Unknown Calamity.

Even though it had changed into its current state, downgraded from unknown to known, and possessed the possibility of being annihilated and targeted.

This kind of attack still posed no threat to it.

After all, its scale, essence, and status were right there.

Then, in an instant, a stream of light streaked across, and the Void fell silent.

The known form of the Unknown Calamity was sliced open.

Cut in two with a single blade!

Li Heng smiled lightly, not surprised.

The gap in scale could be barely compensated for by Infinite Power.

As for the gap in essence and status, he was indeed inferior; even with the addition of Eternal Power and the Thirty-Six Heavens Model that had not yet been fully opened, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form that had not been fully evolved, he was still inferior.

But he did not possess only these.

He also had Source Power!

It could not be denied that his Source Power had just about bottomed out, and the Source Power below the warning line could not allow him to completely slay this Unknown Calamity.

But besides pure Source Power, he also had highly condensed, specialized Source Power—Golden Source Points!

Although he had always been reluctant to use this stuff to kill enemies, after all, one must lose the bait to catch the fish, and he had accumulated Golden Source Points with the idea of preparing for a rainy day.

Now, the rainy day had arrived.

So he had just consumed one hundred Golden Source Points, instantly making up for the lack of Source Power, helping himself raise his status, standing at an infinitely high place, and unleashing this supreme strike.

And now, it was clear.

The status of the Unknown Calamity could not compare to Source Power!

It was instantly sliced open and slain by him!

But it was only a fragment, so it could not stir up much trouble.

The Spirit of the Throne was dumbfounded, if he had eyes and a mouth. In any case, he was shocked beyond measure, his heart continuously murmuring, how could this be possible?

Could it be that the mysterious power had not yet been exhausted?

He thought this, struggling to calm himself down.

But no matter how he thought about it, he still could not be calm.

After all, in his previous view, no matter how strong that mysterious power was, it had to follow basic laws; how could an unsolvable, inescapable disaster like the Unknown Calamity be easily resolved?

Yet, the facts had slapped him in the face.

This fragment of the Unknown Calamity had been killed in one blow.

"Now you know, being an artifact spirit also requires imagination."

Li Heng looked at the Spirit of the Throne, pointed to his head, and laughed.

At that moment, he had also received the notification that the Source Power had been credited.

He had obtained an astronomical, immeasurable amount of Source Power, as well as six hundred Golden Source Points! Excluding the one hundred Golden Source Points consumed just now, his total number of Golden Source Points had now reached as many as two thousand!

The Golden Source Points had reached a very considerable level. Li Heng knew he should think about which of the Three Pure Heavens he should open next within the Thirty-Six Heavens Model.

The Three Pure Heavens, in Daoism, are the Saint Realm where the Three Pure Ones reside.

Taiqing Realm Great Red Heaven, the residence of Daode Tianzun.

Shangqing Realm Yu Yu Heaven, the residence of Lingbao Tianzun.

Jade Pure Realm Clear Subtle Heaven, the residence of Yuanshi Tianzun.

In Daoism.

These three heavens have equal status, with none above or below, and there is no situation where one heaven is stronger or weaker than another.

Therefore, even if the Thirty-Six Heavens Li Heng opened would not strictly follow Daoism, some basic characteristics would not change, such as the fact that the status of these Three Pure Heavens remained equal.

Precisely because of this.

Li Heng had been considering which heaven to open first.

Before this, he had sensed that the basic opening cost for these three heavens, the Golden Source Points required to evolve them into reality, only required a minimum of one thousand Golden Source Points.

And he could now afford to pay it.

Of course, since it was called the basic opening cost and used the word "minimum," it proved that even if these Three Pure Heavens were successfully opened, it could not be said that everything was settled.

To go a step further, he would have to continue investing Golden Source Points.

As for how much to invest.

Li Heng had not yet sensed an upper limit.

This initially surprised him, as the last of the Four Brahma Heavens only required one hundred Golden Source Points, so how could it be that by the time he reached the Three Pure Heavens, the upper limit was suddenly impossible to sense?

It seemed there was no upper limit!

However, when he thought about the connotations of the Three Pure Heavens.

It is not strange, then.

Because the Three Pure Heavens is the residence and dojo of the Three Pure Ones of Daoism. And the three Great Heavenly Venerables represent the Great Dao itself and symbolize the Great Dao, so their residence is the end of the Dao!

But the Great Dao is infinite and inexhaustible; how could it have an end?

There was once a saying about the true Dao and the false Dao. If you believe you have already stood at the end of the Dao, that means this Dao is a false Dao, not a true Dao; the Dao has no limits.

Although Li Heng does not know if this saying is true or false, right or wrong, based on this logic, it is not strange that the Golden Source Points invested in the Three Pure Heavens have no upper limit.

But this triggered his next doubt.

Since the Three Pure Heavens is the end of the Dao.

Then what is the Daluo Heaven above the Three Pure Heavens?

Outside the Great Dao, transcending the Dao?

If one continues to think according to this understanding.

Then how could he possibly reach and open up the Daluo Heaven? One must know that he can no longer see an upper limit for the Golden Source Points invested in the Three Pure Heavens, and it is even suspected that there is no upper limit.

In that case, would it not be impossible to ever reach the Daluo Heaven?

But one must know that Source Power is omnipotent.

This statement clearly contradicts Source Power.

Naturally, Li Heng knows that this line of thinking of his is very arrogant. Perhaps it is just that he has not sensed the upper limit of Source Power, which does not mean that Source Power has no upper limit.

He might just be arrogant and ignorant, a frog in a well.

But he just feels.

The Three Pure Heavens alone cannot block Source Power.

So what exactly is the problem here?

As Li Heng thought, he suddenly fell into this doubt, frowning. He even turned his head to look at the Spirit of the Divine Throne, who was still in a daze, and spoke, voicing his question in a very obscure way to see if he could get a different opinion.

The Spirit of the Divine Throne woke up from his daze.

"Are you obsessed, affected by the Unknown Disaster?"

"Don't be overly ambitious; the path must be walked one step at a time!"

He kindly reminded Li Heng.

Suddenly, Li Heng's eyes lit up.

That's right, the path must be walked one step at a time; what if he didn't sense an upper limit just because his own strength was insufficient? Or perhaps the Great Dao is simple... A thought arose in Li Heng's heart.

His mind stirred, and he sensed it once again.

But this time, the sensing was not for the Golden Source Points required to open up, evolve, and construct the Three Pure Heavens, but for the pure Source Power required for consumption.

Golden Source Points are not Source Power.

Even if Golden Source Points can be counted as a highly condensed and specialized form of Source Power, they certainly cannot be counted as pure Source Power.

On this point, Li Heng, the originator, knows best.

The next moment, Li Heng's eyes lit up.

This time he sensed a faint upper limit! He even drew inferences, and through Source Power, he also sensed the faint upper limit of the required Golden Source Points, which he clearly hadn't sensed before.

However.

His expression also gradually became strange.

By comparing the consumption of opening and constructing the Three Pure Heavens using purely Source Power versus purely Golden Source Points, he discovered a strange thing.

Using Golden Source Points to open the Three Pure Heavens and construct the first half of the Three Pure Heavens requires fewer Source Points and is more cost-effective.

But if one uses Source Power to construct the latter half of the Three Pure Heavens, making it truly become the end of the Dao and reaching the extreme point, the Source Power consumed is less, and it is more cost-effective!
