Chapter 536: The Void Sun

~7 min read 1,385 words

"Oh? May I ask this fellow Daoist, what kind of Great Terror?"

Li Heng raised an eyebrow and asked, knowing the answer perfectly well.

"What other Great Terror could there be in the Great Void? Naturally, it is monsters and Calamities, and they are monsters and Calamities whose numbers and strength far exceed what you, fellow Daoist, could imagine. They have already formed a terrifying Wave!"

Xuantian Daozu warned with a solemn expression.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then it's fine. As the saying goes, if a person is killed, they will die; monsters and Calamities are the same. As long as I kill them all, then it won't be a Great Terror anymore."

Li Heng smiled upon hearing this and said.

Xuantian Daozu fell silent instantly.

Is this Sacred before him serious?

Li Heng's words were like how to put an elephant into a refrigerator: step one, open the refrigerator door; step two, put the elephant into the refrigerator. This looks normal, but in reality, it is highly abnormal.

It is indeed true that if a person is killed, they will die, but monsters and Calamities are immortal. Even if their physical forms are completely obliterated, they will always return; it is merely a matter of time.

Could this Sacred not know this?

Although that is not impossible. After all, some natives transcend from their own original Worlds and have never properly encountered Calamities or monsters.

"Oh, right, I must still ask for your name, fellow Daoist, where you come from, and where you are going?" Li Heng said with a smile, polite and refined, yet combined with the appearance of this Red-haired Divine, it appeared somewhat Strange.

"This poor Daoist is Xuantian. I saw light in the Void, so I followed the light, and incidentally wanted to find an old friend from the past. I didn't expect to run into you, fellow Daoist, halfway."

"Does fellow Daoist come from that glowing Great World?"

Xuantian asked aloud.

He was too lazy to dwell on whether Li Heng was feigning ignorance or truly ignorant. In any case, his warning had been delivered; he had done his duty. If the other party still wanted to throw their life away, he begged to be excused from accompanying them.

"Indeed, I come from that very World. Fellow Daoist Xuantian, what do you think of this light that is sufficient to illuminate the Great Void?"

Li Heng asked with a smile.

Xuantian was silent. How would he know that?

I don't even know what the purpose of this light is. Surely they aren't really trying to attract the malice of the Great Void and seeking death on purpose? If one wants to seek death, wouldn't it be better to just commit suicide?

After thinking for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Fellow Daoist, if I were you, I would immediately turn off this light. Doing this is truly too dangerous. It is not just lighting a fire in a dark forest; it is practically raising a Sun!"

"The Sun is indeed vast, but the malice currently lurking in the Great Void is enough to drown countless Suns. Moreover, there is no future in being a Sun. Back then, an old friend of mine was..."

As he spoke, Xuantian felt a bit emotional, as if he were about to touch upon his own affairs, but he stopped quickly, realizing that these things could not be said to an outsider.

"A good evaluation."

Li Heng did not refute him; instead, he nodded and smiled.

This left Xuantian a bit confused.

What exactly does this Sacred before him mean? Since he knows the evaluation is good, why still light up this radiance?

He frowned and spoke calmly.

"What does fellow Daoist mean by this?"

Xuantian always felt that Li Heng's response was a bit Yin and Yang, like: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, I know it's dangerous, I know it's dangerous, but I just won't change it; I'm just playing around."

"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, I already said just now that this is a good evaluation. If it weren't dangerous, what use would I have for this light?"

Li Heng asked back with a smile.

Xuantian was stunned upon hearing this, his expression somewhat blank.

What kind of talk is this? Actively embracing danger?

No, this is not just actively embracing danger; it is actively embracing death, embracing Eternal Silence! He had traversed the Great Void for so many years and had never seen such a bizarre Sacred.

Can such a person live to reach the Sacred realm?

He initially thought Li Heng was seeking death and committing suicide. But after observing Li Heng's calm and collected demeanor—who even had the mood to joke and smile—he became somewhat uncertain.

Could there really be some hidden confidence?

Various possibilities flashed through Xuantian's mind.

Could it be that the vast Great World, which is like a Lighthouse, has not just this one Sacred before him, but many Sacreds? Otherwise, this point cannot be explained at all.

"May I ask how many Sacreds your World has?"

Xuantian bowed to Li Heng and asked.

Although even with a few more Sacreds, they could not withstand the monster and Calamity Wave, they could at least run away in time—the kind that could take an entire World with them. As long as they weren't swept up by the monster and Calamity Wave, they would be fine, which was better than his current state as a lone wolf.

"One."

He, Li, never disdained to lie, and answered with a smile.

Xuantian did not hesitate.

"Fellow Daoist, I have urgent matters to attend to, farewell."

As soon as the words fell, he turned and left immediately, without dragging his feet, appearing somewhat dashing. Of course, it would be even better if this dash were not used for running away.

He sneered in his heart at this moment.

If there is only one Sacred, then he is seeking death. He had already warned him, so there was no need to accompany this Red-haired Divine to face the monster and Calamity Wave and go to his death together.

And if there were multiple Sacreds, then this Red-haired Divine was lying and insincere. Since that was the case, he was too lazy to waste time here.

Li Heng did not stop him, watching Xuantian leave with a smile, his heart thoughtful. A Sacred with the aura of the Heavenly Court, and whose strength was quite good—already reaching the level of a Senior Divine or above, with one foot stepped into the realm of a Peak Divine.

And he was also going to look for an old friend?

Interesting.

He sighed, continuing his journey on the Reincarnation Path, hoping to encounter the monsters and Calamity Wave that Xuantian spoke of as soon as possible, so he could finish his business and go home early.

On Xuantian's side, he stopped after moving far away from Li Heng. He turned his head and looked back in the direction Li Heng had left, his eyes flickering with thought, intending to secretly follow him again.

As long as he kept a safe distance from the monster and Calamity Wave, he would have no worries about his life.

Moreover, he could see the final outcome of that Red-haired Divine. And if this Red-haired Divine truly had some trump card, this would be an excellent opportunity to investigate.

Although he still felt that no matter how many trump cards the Red-haired Divine had, it was highly probable that he could not withstand a single scouring from the monster Calamity Wave. However, highly probable was only highly probable; there was still a tiny possibility, though of course, that tiny possibility was only for this Red-haired Divine to escape with his life.

But regardless, as a Sacred, he would never ignore any possibility, even if that possibility was only 0.0001 percent, or even one in a hundred million.

Li Heng continued to advance on the Reincarnation Path.

But the further forward he went, the more violently the Reincarnation Path trembled, as if some behemoth were moving rapidly just ahead, nearly shattering the fragile Reincarnation Path.

And in fact, he soon saw it.

That was indeed an overwhelming Calamity, a monster Wave, seemingly filling the entire Great Void and occupying his entire field of vision!
