Chapter 664: Source Power Experiment
Diluo's expression changed abruptly.
He had never imagined that the supreme and powerful Great Void Power could actually be blocked, and even countered by another.
"A petty trick daring to show off before an expert!"
He shouted in anger, endless Reincarnation circling his body, within which scenes of the Great Dao's birth and death, the reincarnation of worlds, and the rise and fall of all spirits were played out; his own status rose rapidly, and as the supreme Reincarnation Dao Lord, he struggled to control the Great Void Power that was now pressing back against him.
But as the saying goes, he was reaping what he had sown; the Great Void Power he had summoned just now to suppress Li Heng instantly and prevent any mishaps was already the output limit for this avatar of his, and now that this Great Void Power was surging back, he found it difficult to control.
Added to this was Li Heng using Source Power to counter him.
At this moment, he was beyond saving.
"Swish!"
The surging, torrential Great Void Power struck Diluo rapidly, the sound of cracking echoing incessantly; as if piercing through window paper, layer after layer of Diluo's defenses were shattered, and whether it was the immeasurable Heavens and Myriad Worlds or all cycles of birth and death, they were like dust beneath this terrifying Great Void Power, washed away in an instant.
Then, only the sound of a bubble bursting was heard; this avatar of Diluo was submerged under the Great Void Power and had already been destroyed.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for winning this round."
Void Scale stood stunned for a long time, then spoke in shock.
He truly could not have imagined that the outcome of the matter would be so fast and swift. In his view, a battle of this level should have lasted at least a thousand or ten thousand years, or perhaps even countless years.
But now... he did not know how to describe it.
Facing the Reincarnation Dao Lord Diluo, who could mobilize Great Void Power, this Li Heng was actually able to turn the tables and suppress Diluo? One must know that even if it was only Diluo's avatar here, it was still capable of controlling a considerable portion of Great Void Power.
In a certain sense.
As long as one can control Great Void Power, whether it is the true self or not actually does not matter much. In short, even if Diluo's avatar is inferior to the true self, how much worse could it be?
In this way, does it not mean that this Li Heng truly has the ability to confront Diluo's true self head-on? It is terrifying; could the Path of Transcendence have truly been walked to the end?
"Since that is the case, Fellow Daoist should be happy. This Diluo is so overbearing; I presume Fellow Daoist has been displeased with him for a long time, yes?" Li Heng said with a smile, indifferent to this result.
After all, he had only destroyed an avatar of Diluo, not the true self, which was not worth being proud of, especially since no notification of Source Power being received had appeared in his mind.
"Fellow Daoist jokes; I am a businessman."
Void Scale did not take up Li Heng's point. In the end, due to his own unique nature, he would not make enemies with anyone, at least not actively.
"Businessmen also have joys and sorrows, do they not?"
Li Heng smiled.
Void Scale was noncommittal and turned to other questions.
"Since Fellow Daoist has decided to fall out with that Diluo, I wonder if you are prepared? You must know that although Diluo is not necessarily one to seek revenge for the slightest grievance, he is not a character to be trifled with; he will certainly retaliate."
"If I were to say I am not prepared, does Fellow Daoist intend to offer me a few good strategies and strike a deal with me?"
Li Heng said with a half-smile.
"That would be appropriate."
Void Scale answered very naturally, not caring at all that Li Heng had exposed his motive. After all, he was someone who did business out in the world; how could he function without a thick skin?
"Then I must disappoint Fellow Daoist; to deal with this Diluo, I do not yet need to trade with you." Li Heng shook his head.
"Why? When Diluo's true self unleashes his full strength, even I must temporarily avoid his edge; the Great Void Power he can mobilize is enough to awe countless surrounding eras. Is Fellow Daoist so confident?"
Void Scale asked in surprise.
"Why am I confident? Does Fellow Daoist not know the answer? I know Fellow Daoist wants to probe what the power I used to block the Great Void Power just now is, but to be honest, even if I showed it to you, you would not understand it."
Li Heng once again exposed Void Scale's true motive.
Void Scale was silent; he indeed had such thoughts. After all, a power that could block Great Void Power truly shattered his worldview; how could such a power exist?
"Fellow Daoist is being a bit too complacent; as long as you are willing to bring it out and show it, I can naturally measure its value, just like measuring this Great Void."
After a while, Void Scale spoke again.
"However, I also know that all things are exchanged at equal value. If Fellow Daoist can demonstrate that power, I am willing to agree to one reasonable condition and help Fellow Daoist within my capabilities."
He gave Li Heng a condition, which could also be considered doing business.
Li Heng raised an eyebrow; this was a good opportunity, just right for making this Void Scale owe him a favor. Afterward, it would be easier for him to learn about the Dao Master Era from Void Scale.
Although he could use force to coerce him, as the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face; force is a means to be used only as a last resort, and if things can be discussed properly, they should be.
Moreover, this Void Scale was not simple either.
"This is that kind of power."
Li Heng reached out, and a bit of Source Power manifested, following his thought, turning into a constantly flickering flame of Source Power, but otherwise, it was unremarkable.
"Some kind of strange flame? What flame could compare to Great Void Power?" Void Scale looked, somewhat bewildered.
"Fellow Daoist is too fixated on appearances."
Li Heng shook his head; I told you that you would not understand. Then, with a thought, the Source Power flame turned into a stream of water, surging on Li Heng's palm and evolving into a vast, endless ocean.
Void Scale was silent; it seemed his eyes had been dull.
This kind of power seemed capable of turning into everything in the world.
But if not for the characteristics Li Heng had just displayed, he would have truly thought it was just some special flame, and even now, as it evolved into an ocean, he still could not see its essence, truly thinking it was just another ocean.
"Fellow Daoist, do you mind if I conduct a small experiment?"
Void Scale spoke.
Li Heng nodded and tossed this ocean of Source Power out, letting it float in the Void, signaling that Void Scale could act as he pleased; after all, he also wanted to explore the essence of Source Power.
Source Power was incredibly miraculous and absolutely omnipotent; he used it very smoothly, but to collect Source Power, he had to rely on the outside world, as he could not produce it himself, which made him somewhat depressed.
Therefore, if he could discern the essence of Source Power and produce it himself, or if he himself possessed the full might of Source Power, that would be far better and stronger than the present.
Void Scale did not delay, directly drawing upon the Void, and just like Diluo had done earlier, he summoned Great Void Power, equal in magnitude and vastness, and injected it into the ocean of Source Power.
He stared unblinkingly at what was before him.
If this power were higher than Great Void Power, then the Great Void Power should be instantly devoured and absorbed, or suppressed and repelled, just like a monarch and a subject.
However, the next moment, he froze, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
What is going on, how could they actually coexist?
