Chapter 802: Five Source Power Authorities

"Mark, what exactly are you?"

Li Heng frowned and said.

"You don't need to know that; you only need to be clear that you have been marked by me. Leave the rest to time."

The Wriggling Thing said, and then a Black Mark appeared on Li Heng's wrist, looking as if it were constantly wriggling, filled with the Weird and the Ominous.

"This is the mark I give you; keep it well."

After dropping these words, the Wriggling Thing vanished into thin air.

Li Heng locked his brows tight, carefully scrutinizing this constantly wriggling Black Mark. Although this mark looked Weird and full of Terror, strangely, he did not detect the slightest abnormality; even beyond what could be seen visually, all other means of perception could not detect the existence of this mark.

Does this seem to be just a simple mark?

Just like a hunter marking their prey?

He smoothed his brows and smiled slightly.

This is interesting now.

As the saying goes, soldiers come to block, water comes to earth to cover.

He would like to see what kind of trouble this mark could stir up, and whether it could continue to attract powerful Calamity or monsters, allowing him to obtain more Source Power, or even Source Power Authority.

Thinking of this, he also abandoned the idea of using Source Power to erase this mark, merely using Source Power to slightly protect himself so that this mark would not endanger his life.

The hunter wants to mark the prey.

But who stipulated that the prey cannot use this to fish in return?

Li Heng smiled slightly, his mind immersed in his consciousness.

Previously, when he slew the Wriggling Thing, besides obtaining immeasurable Source Power, he had also obtained Source Power Authority; this counted as the fifth Source Power Authority he had acquired.

The five Source Power Authorities fused together, faintly forming an operational system, and the speed at which Source Power was born suddenly surged, even exceeding Li Heng's previous expectations—it was extremely fast.

This seemed to be because after obtaining a certain amount of Source Power Authority, constructing it into a form, and evolving it into a complete system, it was no longer simple addition or multiplication.

It was a higher-order calculation!

And at the same time, his connection to that location in that strange scene strengthened once more, allowing him to invoke even more powerful strength, seemingly no weaker than a Dao Lord!

The opportunity had arrived!

Li Heng's mind stirred.

The Dao Lord realm cannot be reached from the bottom up; one must go from top to bottom. One must have an existence that is either at the Dao Lord Level or Above Dao Lord to intervene before there is even a sliver of hope of achievement. Perhaps the only exception is using Source Power to ascend, but the Source Power required for this is too terrifying, making it very difficult to accumulate enough.

But now it was different.

He no longer needed to use Source Power to ascend directly.

Because he could rely on his connection to that location to invoke power, using this as capital for his ascension. The power he had invoked before had not reached the Dao Lord Level, so he could not ascend.

But now that the invoked power could reach the Dao Lord level, and he had been at the realm infinitely close to a Dao Lord for a long time, his accumulation was already sufficient; he could completely ascend to the Dao Lord realm!

"Great Void Will, come out."

Li Heng said calmly.

The next moment, the light orb of the Great Void Will appeared before him. Ripples spread across the surface of the light orb, radiating waves of confusion: What was going on? How did it manifest suddenly again?

It hadn't even reacted itself!

"Li Heng, what exactly have you done? Why do I feel like I'm at your beck and call?"

The Great Void Will said in surprise.

"Don't worry about that; I have serious business now."

Li Heng said.

"What serious business could you have? I have clearly already bestowed Dao Lord Level power upon you, so why are you still bothering me? Don't tell me I have to bestow upon you the characteristic of 'once proven, forever proven' so that you are always in the Dao Lord realm?"

The Great Void Will said irritably.

"Or don't tell me that you've solved that wriggling thing and can now ascend to Dao Lord."

It continued with disdain.

"Yes, you are quite right; I intend to ascend to Dao Lord."

Li Heng was very direct and nodded in reply.

The Great Void Will was instantly stunned. He really intended to ascend to Dao Lord? So fast? But clearly, not long ago, it had perceived that Li Heng's accumulation was insufficient.

With insufficient accumulation and no help from it,

how could he break through the inaccessibility of the Dao Lord?

"Are you truly prepared? I can tell you that once you begin your ascension, I will not help you shield against the Pollution and Terror in the Great Void."

The Great Void Will warned Li Heng.

"I am naturally prepared."

Li Heng nodded and said.

"However, I called you out because I wanted to tell you one thing. That is, I am still a practitioner of the Transcendence Path, while the one practicing the Great Void Path is my clone."

"So what are you trying to express?"

The Great Void Will asked in confusion.

"What I am expressing is that I am breaking through to Dao Lord Level strength, allowing my own status to be on par with the Dao Lord Level, but I will not accept the Dao Fruit position of Great Void Dao Lord—at least my main body will not accept it, but will throw it to my clone."

"This is like the position of Saint and the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal in certain worlds; as the Great Void Will, you should be very clear about what this is all about, so what is your opinion?"

Li Heng said.

The Great Void Will fell silent again.

After a long while, it spoke.

"Didn't I tell you that the Transcendence Path is a dead end? The top powerhouses in the Great Void all know that the Transcendence Path is an Outer Path, a minor path; you should know that this is no rumor."

"But what does that have to do with me?"

"I walk my own Dao," Li Heng replied with a smile.

"Then do you know that what I promised you is the position of the Tenth Dao Lord? As the saying goes, success comes at seven and peaks at nine; nine Dao Lords are already the pinnacle, and the Tenth Dao Lord is above that pinnacle, a position of Dao Fruit that allows one to be invincible within the Dao Lord realm. Are you sure you want to give it up?"

The Great Void Will asked.

"How can you call it giving up? Didn't I say I would hand this Dao Fruit position to my avatar? He will only stay in the Great Void on my behalf. Otherwise, what would I do if I ran off to the Mountain and Sea Great World?"

Li Heng waved his hand and said.

"There is a problem with your statement; I must correct one point, which is that the Mountain and Sea Great World is still within the Great Void. As for the issue of your avatar, I can only say that the invincible Dao Fruit position can only take effect if given to the original body; if it is just an avatar, there is no difference from an ordinary Dao Lord."

The Great Void Will corrected him.

"That is fine too. Having experienced being Above Dao Lord, why would I care about so-called invincibility as a Dao Lord? I will not obediently be controlled by you just because of this position of Tenth Ultimate Dao Lord."

Li Heng said with a smile, speaking the plain truth.

Since the Great Void Will dared to promise the position of the Tenth Dao Lord, the Ultimate Dao Lord position, it could be certain that even the so-called Ultimate Dao Lord was within the control of the Great Void Will.

Since that was the case, why should he walk into this dead end?

"Since you have such thoughts, I will not stop you; I hope you do not regret it. Now, let me see if you truly have the qualifications to become a real Dao Lord."

The light sphere of the Great Void Will fluctuated.

The aura on Li Heng's body began to soar rapidly...
