Chapter 612: Causal Chess Piece

~8 min read 1,438 words

"Nothing to report. I advise you to let me out and forget about this matter forever. Otherwise, even if you are a Venerable, you will inevitably suffer Great Terror in the future and be doomed eternally."

The Ominous black Qi transformed into a human shape, its tone remaining stubborn.

"Do you think I cannot do anything to you, or that I cannot completely obliterate you?" Li Heng smiled slightly.

"Even if you have a way to completely obliterate me, so what? Death is death. Do you think I am afraid of death? Everything is destined to perish; it is fated, just a matter of time. Why fear it?"

The Ominous black Qi sneered mockingly.

Li Heng laughed.

"Since it is all fated and inescapable, why do you bother threatening me with some Great Terror or inevitable Great Disaster?"

The Ominous black Qi was momentarily speechless, then stopped talking and played dead.

Since soft tactics didn't work, he tried hard ones. Li Heng's mind stirred, consuming Source Power to manifest supreme flames, breaking through the status of the Ominous black Qi and setting it ablaze, causing its volume to shrink rapidly.

"How does it feel now? Tell me, and I will spare your life."

Li Heng said calmly.

Under the scorching of the Source Power flames, the Ominous black Qi was damaged; the sensation of painful burning reached deep into its origin, causing it immense agony as one hideous, screaming face after another kept appearing.

But even so, it still did not beg for mercy.

Not until the Source Power burned to the very last moment, leaving only a wisp of Ominous black Qi, did Li Heng stop and frown. He had encountered a tough nut to crack this time, one that did not fear life or death.

"Kill me, hurry up and kill me! Do you not dare to kill me?"

Feeling its own Illusion, the Ominous black Qi, now only a final wisp, manifested a form that was already incredibly transparent, laughing loudly and mocking Li Heng crazily.

"A mere Venerable, nothing more than this, nothing more than this!"

Li Heng shook his head; this was somewhat troublesome.

This Ominous black Qi clearly contained great secrets. He had sensed from the beginning that it was not a thing of the Great Void; it was extremely mysterious and difficult to Appraisal or read minds with Source Power, and the consumption was huge, making it not worthwhile.

Could it be that he should just let the Ominous black Qi go for now?

A thought took root and sprouted in his heart, then was pulled out by the roots by him. Just kidding, he, Li, was not that kind of person. With a thought, the Source Power flames continued to burn, completely incinerating the Ominous black Qi, so he didn't have to listen to those mocking, cursing words anymore.

Moreover, this did not mean he had lost.

As the Source Power flames rose, a black chess piece floated in front of Li Heng, emitting dense Causal fluctuations. An incredibly thick Causal Chain extended from the black chess piece, breaking through the Void and connecting to an unknown place.

This was precisely the product he had specifically refined by consuming extra Source Power while burning the Ominous black Qi just now. It could be named the Causal Chess Piece, and it contained the great Causality possessed by the Ominous black Qi.

Although the Ominous black Qi was finished, it did not mean the trail was broken.

He could completely trace the source based on the Causality within it.

With a movement of his mind, he traced the source along the Causal Chain, traversing the Great Void all the way to the edge of the Great Void, plunging into the Wuqiong Weizhi, and then it could no longer be tracked.

Li Heng was thoughtful. As he had expected, it was indeed something from outside the Great Void. It was just that his current strength did not support him in crossing the Wuqiong Weizhi to find the true master.

Come to think of it, he had encountered this situation before.

Among the Ominous dolls he confiscated from the two women, Shuiyue and Huoling, the Causality of some of those dolls was also not within the Great Void; they had already run out of the Great Void.

Li Heng sighed. Whether it was the Great Void or the Wuqiong Weizhi, the water was still very deep. It seemed he had to hurry to harvest Source Power and cultivate to become stronger. As for the matter of this Ominous black Qi and those Ominous dolls, it would have to be suppressed for now and dealt with later.

I am too weak, I can't do anything. jpg

Returning his attention to the present, he began to focus on comprehending the Great Dao Ark origin in his hands, striving to fleece the Multiverse Alliance completely; he could not afford to suffer a loss.

And at this moment, the Third Elder was truly happy in his heart.

Because he had received a definitive answer from those two old fellows: the Alliance Leader was already on the way back. It would not take long before he could return to the Alliance before that Venerable left.

"But what if that Venerable leaves early?"

Do not speak of victory before speaking of defeat.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and said, taking precautions. It is better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, he was not like those two old fellows who could stay out of it and not care. He had invested a lot of resources, especially his own Ark origin.

The Great Elder and Second Elder looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Was this Third Elder too cautious? If, as he said, that Venerable was in seclusion comprehending the origin of the Great Dao Ark, how could it be so fast?

Did he really think the origin of the Great Dao Ark was some kind of trash?

As for the possibility of forcibly ending seclusion halfway through, that was even more negligible. Because this was a matter concerning one's own Dao path, how could seclusion be interrupted so easily? Unless someone could steal the home of this Venerable.

But who would dare to steal the home of a Venerable?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

However, in order to appease this old fellow who had invested half his family fortune, the two could only offer words of comfort.

"Rest assured, the Alliance Leader had long anticipated this and sent an invitation in advance, which contains the supreme might of the Alliance Leader and can invite the Venerable to stay. Third Elder, you need not worry..."

As the saying goes, popping champagne halfway is as good as giving it away.

Not long after, the three of them sensed an anomaly appearing where Li Heng was in seclusion, emitting boundless Great Dao fluctuations, echoing with the surrounding Void and resonating with the Infinite space-time.

The three were shocked. This is... coming out of seclusion!?

Inside the Blessed Land and Grotto-Heaven, Li Heng slowly opened his eyes. The god-like and saint-like aura immediately subsided, retracting the Great Dao fluctuations and supreme energy that had been erupting, returning to simplicity as if he were a mortal.

Although the Great Dao Ark origin in his hands was too little and not enough for him to comprehend, it had to be said that the harvest this time was also very rich, allowing him to go a step further in the Venerable realm.

Now, even if a Venerable-level enemy descended, Li Heng was confident that he could defeat them in his normal state, without even using the Daoism Thirty-Six Heavens, Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, or Source Power.

"This Multiverse Alliance has no value in staying for now."

Li Heng muttered to himself.

Although he did not have all the Great Dao Ark origin in his hands, by seeing one leaf, one knows the autumn; through that bit of Great Dao origin, he could also analyze the Great Dao Ark seven or eight-tenths and absorb the essence within it. The remaining two-tenths, while even more core, were not worth his true self staying behind specifically.

Moreover, the Present World Lighthouse back home seemed to have attracted a big fish. It was just right to go back, solve the matter of the True Realm on the way, and harvest Source Power; after all, his current Source Power was still not enough.

He took a step out of the Blessed Land and Grotto-Heaven, intending to leave.

At this moment, the Third Elder suddenly appeared and hurriedly spoke.

"Venerable, please stay..."
