Chapter 750: A Monster

"The blessing of the Great Void Power has become stronger, and it is incredibly rapid; it is not he who is chasing the Great Void Power, but the Great Void Power chasing him."

Seeing the aura on Li Heng becoming increasingly powerful, Zhongjie Daozhu could not help but grow more astonished, muttering to himself.

Could it be that he is really going to walk toward the Dao Lord level?

That makes no sense; how could this Li Heng possibly have the qualifications!

At this moment, Zhongjie Daozhu, being merely a wisp of a remnant soul, did not realize what had just happened; if he were to realize that Li Heng was conversing with the dim, instinctive will of the Great Void, he would likely be shocked to the point of his jaw dropping, exclaiming that it was inconceivable.

Because even they, as Dao Lords.

Could only barely touch this level!

Li Qianjun and the others swallowed hard, filled with horror.

Originally, under the blessing of the Void Destiny, their strength and status had risen infinitely, and they had become somewhat inflated, even feeling that they could now arm-wrestle with this Senior Li.

But they now realized one thing—

How foolish their previous thoughts had been!

In their line of sight, Li Heng's body seemed to be becoming infinitely large, his status infinitely elevated, transforming from an ordinary individual into a supreme god standing between heaven and earth.

And they, they did not even have the qualifications to look up at him!

"This bit of power is not enough, is it."

Li Heng continued to communicate with the dim will of the Great Void.

This Great Void seemed to be stingy with its own power, the speed of the blessing was slow as death; at this rate, he wouldn't have finished receiving the blessing by the time he walked in front of that monster.

"Do, not, be, anxious..."

The Great Void responded briefly, then fell into a long silence. But the next moment, Li Heng could sense that new power was emerging, crossing over from the other side of time and space, and within it, he felt the power named "Remote," which was likewise blessing his body.

Whoa, just how much distance did this power cross to get here?

Is this some kind of South-to-North Water Diversion Project?

Li Heng felt somewhat surprised in his heart.

He did not feel any aura of the Great Void from this power, or rather, it did not match any Great Void he knew of; it came from a truly remote place.

Yet this power could actually be invoked by the Great Void.

Then it should also belong under the jurisdiction of the Great Void, right?

This power... what is going on!?

At this moment, Zhongjie Daozhu was thoroughly moved.

He only acknowledged that he had come into contact with all power within the Great Void, yet now he knew nothing about this new power emerging on Li Heng; why was this?

Was this the result of the Great Void growing and emerging anew during the period of their fall and death? Or had they known nothing from the very beginning?

Could it be that the Dao Lord level is about to appear at this time?

He could sense that the current Li Heng was already infinitely close to a Dao Lord; anyone would be close to this level, just missing a thin membrane. In the past, this membrane had stumped countless people, and by all logic, he should not be worried. But the power newly emerging at this moment truly made him feel a bit unconfident.

And facts proved that his bit of lack of confidence was correct.

Just in the next moment, an instant.

It seemed one could hear the sound of a membrane bubble bursting; Li Heng easily crossed that infinite chasm and stepped into the Dao Lord Realm, a supreme level that did not exist in the Void at this time.

Power, status, everything was surging toward him.

Li Heng could even feel that he was the center of the Great Void at this moment, and everything had to revolve around him; one thought could bring the Great Void into existence, and one thought could destroy it.

Is this the Dao Lord level?

No wonder Zhongjie Daozhu said that everything below the Dao Lord was meaningless before.

He looked back at the crowd and discovered that everyone had points of light on them. Among them, the points of light on Zhongjie Daozhu were the most dense, even forming a Light Orb, illuminating himself.

Li Heng instantly had a realization.

So this was the meaning that had appeared among the infinite sentient beings after the death of the nine Dao Lords—giving all sentient beings their reality, so they were no longer the meaningless beings of the past.

Now, even if sentient beings were still tiny in front of a Dao Lord, still symbols that could be wiped away with a wave of a hand, they were at least meaningful symbols.

Zhongjie Daozhu recovered from his horror.

With a complex expression, he took a step and also appeared on this blood-colored long bridge, arriving before Li Heng, then bowed, "This poor Daoist is Changqing, congratulating Fellow Daoist Li on achieving the Dao."

Zhongjie Daozhu referred to himself as Changqing, telling Li Heng his true name, clearly having thoroughly acknowledged Li Heng. Yet the doubt in his heart did not diminish in the slightest; how could Li Heng achieve the Dao?

Wasn't he just an Outer Path practitioner?

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, you must not congratulate me too early."

Li Heng responded with a smile.

Too early?

Changqing was stunned; what did he mean by congratulating him too early?

Could you possibly continue to ascend?

Is this really possible? Is it too heaven-defying?

If it were according to past circumstances, he would definitely have already voiced his mockery. Let alone Li Heng, even if his eight former peers had said this, he would not have given them any kind words.

But now, he had no confidence in his heart.

"A Dao Lord cannot solve this true monster."

Li Heng turned his head to look at the monster that was still sleeping.

This monster had no fixed form; it was the monster itself. Or rather, every image of a monster that all sentient beings could imagine could be manifested on this monster, filling the air with an extremely strong oppressive force.

The moment he achieved the Dao Lord level just now, he had thought about completely wiping out this monster, but he failed.

Changqing furrowed his brows, somewhat unable to understand.

Then he discovered that Li Heng's aura was surging upward again.

It seemed to be slowly detaching from the Dao Lord level!

This...

He fell into a long silence.

It is too absurd.

They had previously deduced that beyond the nine Dao Lords there was a Tenth Dao Lord, and that Tenth Dao Lord was the ultimate Dao Lord, far Above Dao Lord of the nine.

But that still belonged to the level of a Dao Lord after all.

Yet now, this Li Heng's strength is actually soaring Above Dao Lord? At the very least, he cannot quite understand the aura and status on Li Heng at this moment; it seems that something Above Dao Lord truly exists.

"An interesting monster, interesting characteristics."

As Li Heng's status and strength rose, he could see more of this monster's essence and truth.

For example—

Because it is a monster, it will not die.

Because it is a monster, it cannot be defeated by a single person.

Because it is a monster, its attacks cannot be blocked.

Because it is a monster, no one can overcome it.

All the characteristics a monster should have are manifested in this monster, and their priority is extremely high, making it almost impossible to transcend or break these characteristics. Even a Dao Lord can only barely interfere!

"I understand now why you were buried in the beast's maw."

Li Heng patted Changqing on the shoulder, expressing sympathy.

What do you understand!

Changqing felt very helpless; he felt that Li Heng understood nothing and was just mocking him. After all, for a dignified Dao Lord to die in the maw of a monster, what kind of affair is that?

"But it doesn't matter now."

"Just as someone once said, if a monster is killed, it will die."
