Chapter 785: Sensing the Authority

There was not the slightest surprise.

Aside from obtaining an immeasurable amount of Source Power, Li Heng had also harvested a piece of Source Power Authority.

This was the fourth piece of Source Power Authority.

Li Heng was lost in thought, when suddenly he sensed that the Source Power Authority had undergone a new change; that strange spectacle appeared once more, and his connection to that location became increasingly strong.

At the same time.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if he could sense the locations of other Source Power Authorities in the dark. He released his consciousness, like a radar sweeping across, and could discern whether a Source Power Authority existed in the areas he scanned! Even if he had not scanned them with his consciousness, he could vaguely discern the direction.

Opening his eyes, Li Heng revealed a look of surprise and joy.

He had originally been troubled by how to effectively search for Source Power Authority. After all, judging from the previous situation, Source Power Authority generally appeared on Calamities or monsters equivalent to a Dao Lord.

Such Calamities or monsters were not cabbages on the side of the road.

They were very hard to find!

But now, he did not need to be troubled by this point.

He only needed to search based on the sensing in the dark!

It was just that since this situation had occurred, did it mean that Source Power Authority truly existed within those Calamities and monsters, and was not the reward mechanism he had anticipated?

But wouldn't that mean Source Power and Calamity monsters were related?

Or perhaps Calamities, monsters, and Source Power were related?

Billions of thoughts flashed through his mind, constantly deducing, and he finally determined some general directions, but hindered by a lack of evidence, he could only leave it at that.

He would have to wait until there was evidence in the future to make further speculations.

Li Heng calmed down and scanned the surroundings again, finding no omissions, so he took a step out, intending to follow the sensing in the dark to search for the location of the Source Power Authority again.

Just as he was about to take a step, moving mid-air, he suddenly stopped again, "Hmm, since this Calamity has been resolved, then it is indeed necessary to inform him, so as to save him from staying there forever."

Li Heng muttered to himself, his thoughts stirring.

Subsequently, his entire person appeared before that Pioneer Dao Lord clone, "We meet again, hmm, perhaps there is no need for greetings, after all, we only just met a short while ago."

Seeing Li Heng appear before him unscathed, with a smile on his face, the Pioneer clone was instantly stunned.

This is... returning after leaving?

And so elusive, he hadn't even sensed it.

"The danger above has been cleared by me; you no longer need to stay here, you can go and travel the Great Void."

Li Heng did not delay, getting straight to the point.

The danger above has been cleared?

The Pioneer clone was stunned again, looking at Li Heng, full of suspicion. "Fellow Daoist Li, do not joke with me. Not to mention whether you could reach that place, even if you did, what would you use to resolve a danger that even the Pioneer Dao Lord could not resolve?"

"Returning so quickly now, I fear you knew you could not reach that place, and thus returned; do not tease me."

The Pioneer clone shook his head.

Are young people nowadays all so concerned with saving face?

If you can't go, you can't go; if you can't do it, you can't do it. Why puff yourself up to look bigger than you are? He wasn't unaware of the danger and difficulty of this matter; how could it be something an ordinary person could accomplish?

"So that is what you think."

"Hmm, thinking about it, it is indeed a bit fast, who told me to be so efficient. But never mind, I am too lazy to continue dwelling on this point; I have other important matters. So, you may take this corpse of the Pioneer Dao Lord; bury it or burn it, as you wish."

Li Heng chuckled, waved his hand, and the corpse of the Pioneer Dao Lord appeared before the Pioneer clone, after which his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only the dumbfounded Pioneer clone standing in place.

This is... the main body's physical form?!

The Pioneer clone was shocked in his heart, stunned for a long time.

Li Heng was currently crossing the Duochong Xianshi.

He sensed that the Source Power Authority closest to him was not in this layer of Reality, but in an extremely Remote Reality, located in the outer layer, where Calamity monsters ran rampant.

And what surprised him somewhat was.

The space-time coordinates of that Reality seemed to be extremely consistent and similar to the space-time coordinates given to him by that senior of the Transcendence Path, Xiaoyaozi; they seemed to point to the same place.

Interesting, it seems I can still find an old friend to reminisce.

Li Heng sighed at the karmic connection, unable to help but raise an eyebrow.

After all, the Duochong Xianshi is named multiple, but is actually infinite; to be able to find something related to an old friend he had met before in this infinity, that is truly a profound karmic connection.

If the Great Void were compared to a circle, then there would inevitably be a distinction between an inner circle and an outer circle; and it was in that outer circle, in the outer layer of Reality, that Calamities and monsters ran rampant, having already turned this layer of Reality into a scene of doomsday for these infinite eras.

"We can't hold it, retreat to the Internal Defense Line."

Xiaoyaozi's figure was decadent at this moment, his body covered in bloodstains, his aura dim; he casually picked up the wine gourd tucked at his waist, and without caring whether the exterior was stained with blood, he directly pulled out the stopper and gulped it down.

A faint, flushed drunkenness also appeared on his face.

"Even if we can't hold it, we must hold it. In the long years, we have all been retreating endlessly, yet it is precisely this retreat that has evolved into the current situation."

"We must fight to the death and ensure the Internal Defense Line is worry-free!"

Beside Xiaoyaozi, an existence wearing armor, full of the baleful aura of war, and looking like a general, said coldly, his words very resolute, as if there was no life to be found in death.

Xiaoyaozi was silent, not voicing any rebuttal.

Because he knew these words were indeed reasonable.

The situation of the Internal Defense Line was not the same as the External Defense Line.

The External Defense Line had already been completely polluted by Calamities and monsters, the Great Dao corrupted, the laws twisted; one did not know how many Great Thousand Worlds and Multiverse Heavens had become nests for Calamity monsters.

But the Internal Defense Line was still a pure land until now, never having been polluted by any Calamity or monster; with normal laws and a normal Great Dao, only such a normal environment could nurture normal Fire Seeds and normal hope.

"However, Xiaoyaozi, you truly surprise me."

"Ordinary people all say you are an Outer Path practitioner and are afraid of death, which is why you have lived until now, but why have you now taken the initiative to volunteer to come to this front line?"

The general said slowly.

"Why I came here, why can't you guess? Or do you not want to guess? In order to carry out this Eternal war and implement that inviolable order, the powerhouses of my Transcendence Path have basically all died, yet you still force the Fire Seeds of the Transcendence Path to the front line."

"If I do not step forward again, the Transcendence Path will surely be severed."

Xiaoyaozi shook his head.

"I do not care about that; in the face of this endless pitch-black enemy, the Righteous Dao and the Outer Path are both like ants. Of course, the ants of the Outer Path might be weaker, which is also why those of the Outer Path die first."

The General said indifferently.

Xiaoyaozi did not answer.

Because before them, the endless pitch-black, the writhing darkness surged toward them; the Calamity and the monsters were attacking once again, and the brief time for chatting had come to an end.

However, at this very moment.

A twisted, Strange giant claw suddenly emerged, filling the Void, severing time, and sweeping toward the defensive line where Xiaoyaozi and the others were, blasting it apart in a single strike...
