Chapter 563: Consciousness Melts, The Eighth Divine Light of Human Origin
Chapter 563: Consciousness Melts, The Eighth Divine Light of Human Origin
"Join us? I'd rather have you join me!" Qi Yuan looked at the Voidless Overlord before him, his expression calm.
In front of him, countless 'Glimmer Eyes' represented powerful Yang Emperors.
The number of Yang Emperors far exceeded the Sixth Heaven of the Immortal World.
The Voidless Overlord wore a devious smile, "Once, I was like you... In the end, didn't I also become a shadow within the Black Abyss?"
"What is the Black Abyss?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Have you seen those three thrones? If you can surpass us and reach them, perhaps you'll understand what the Black Abyss truly is!" The Voidless Overlord's voice was eerie.
Countless eyes turned to Qi Yuan at that moment.
These gazes were cold, ruthless, fanatical, and obsessed.
Qi Yuan sensed countless black lines spreading in the darkness, symbolizing chaos and disorder.
He had a premonition that if these black lines touched him, he too would become like the Voidless Overlord, assimilated by the Black Abyss, and become a member of the Blackness Clan.
However, the Divine Lights of Human Origin emitted a blazing white light, repelling these black lines.
This also spared Qi Yuan from assimilation.
Qi Yuan looked towards the three thrones.
All the Yang Emperors seemed like fireflies, while the three figures seated in the depths of darkness appeared like blazing suns hanging high in the sky.
[The Black Abyss Trinity, the third layer of Yang Emperors, the Heaven-Creating Realm, are thrones born within the Blackness Clan, devoid of wisdom and True Spirits.]
The Heaven-Creating Realm?
Qi Yuan felt an inexplicable pressure.
The third layer of Yang Emperors, from the All-Being Realm to the Heaven-Creating Realm, was a significant threshold.
The Heaven-Creating Realm meant the ability to create souls and worlds.
However, to reach the Black Abyss Trinity, he would first have to surpass these countless Yang Emperors.
"Surrender, give up resistance, you cannot win," said the Voidless Overlord, his voice devoid of emotion.
Qi Yuan's right eyebrow twitched violently, indicating that this battle would be extremely dangerous.
"Even if you have a slim chance of defeating us and gaining an audience with the three thrones, how can you possibly fight them?"
"Even if you defeat these three thrones, how can you fight the Black Abyss?"
At that moment, countless Yang Emperors spoke simultaneously, their voices vast and mechanical.
Their voices alone dimmed Qi Yuan's powerful soul, making it lose its innate dominance.
If it were any other Sovereign, their soul might have started trembling.
"I've never fought a battle like this. Since condensing the Stellar Golden Elixir, I've always been the one besieging others. Today, I'm the one being besieged!"
Qi Yuan held the Divine Lights of Human Origin, his expression emotionless, exuding sacred might.
He scanned the countless Yang Emperors and the Sovereigns, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
"Let's see... just how far my limits go!"
Devouring Origin Body!
Death Radiance!
Absolute Adaptation!
Dominating Power!
At this moment, Qi Yuan displayed his strongest form in this realm.
With Absolute Adaptation, Qi Yuan was like a tiger in a lion's den, unleashing slaughter.
"Those who block me, die!"
He still had some wisdom; under the enhancement of Death Radiance, he didn't resist the attacks of the Sovereigns but endured them.
His attacks were directed at the weaker ones.
Qi Yuan showed no fear, and the Yang Emperors of the Blackness Clan didn't retreat.
In response to Qi Yuan's attacks, three first-layer Yang Emperors and two second-layer Yang Emperors took action.
Crack!
In just a breath, the bodies of these five powerful Yang Emperors outside shattered instantly.
A vast amount of experience poured into Qi Yuan, slightly enhancing his strength.
The Devouring Origin Body also played its part, devouring these five Yang Emperors.
"Kill!"
A rule of thunder from a first-layer Sovereign struck Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan's body stiffened, and his flesh and blood trembled with pain beyond description.
"You cannot kill me; I will only grow stronger!"
Qi Yuan's speed reached its limit, quickly evading the first-layer Sovereigns and hunting down the weaker Yang Emperors.
At this moment, Qi Yuan hoped his Death Radiance and Absolute Adaptation were powerful enough to allow him to kill enough Yang Emperors and elevate his strength to a terrifying level.
Perhaps then, he might have a slim chance to turn the tide.
"Kill!"
Qi Yuan traded injuries for kills, taking down three more Yang Emperors.
Now, ordinary Yang Emperors seemed as fragile as paper in his eyes.
Only the Yang Emperors of the Sovereign level posed a significant challenge.
Countless attacks landed on Qi Yuan, and without Death Radiance and Absolute Adaptation, he would have perished long ago.
After all, the number of Sovereigns here exceeded his imagination.
The number of Sovereigns in the Zhou Universe was not even a tenth of those in the Blackness Clan.
Therefore, Qi Yuan wasn't facing the terror of a single universe but... over ten universes combined!
The slaughter continued.
The battle rages on.
Blood flows incessantly.
However, the blood shed belongs to Qi Yuan.
No one knows how long it has been since Qi Yuan last experienced such an intense confrontation.
Despite this, his gains are plentiful. With his vast experience and the Devouring Original Body, his strength continues to soar.
Boom!
The terrifying Black Water falls upon Qi Yuan's body.
Half of his face is corroded, and his soul dims.
This Black Water Rule can corrode everything in the world and swallow all in its path.
Absolute Adaptation!
Devouring Original Body!
Death Radiance!
The powerful support resists the Black Water Rule.
"Wait..."
Suddenly, Qi Yuan's expression freezes.
"My consciousness... is dissolving."
This dissolution is not caused by the Black Abyss' invasion, but rather, it is the result of the dual effects of Absolute Adaptation and the Devouring Original Body.
Absolute Adaptation represents the pinnacle of adaptation and survival.
Facing the attacks of the Sovereigns, even with the Lock Blood Charm, Qi Yuan is unable to withstand them.
The reason is simple: the attacks are too fierce and too frequent.
Absolute Adaptation adapts to these attacks, changing Qi Yuan, dissolving his consciousness, and transforming him into... a killing machine that knows only slaughter.
Only then can he survive more effectively.
"As I thought, even if I'm unafraid of pain and unconcerned about injuries, my consciousness still hinders my flesh!"
Qi Yuan suddenly realizes the truth.
The injuries are very real, and even though he doesn't care, they still affect him instinctively, slowing down his attack efficiency.
"Since it's like this, then what's the harm in losing consciousness?"
Absolute Adaptation!
Devouring Original Body!
Without consciousness, it means that no matter how terrifying the injuries are, they will not affect his combat abilities.
As long as he retains a sliver of True Spirit Light, perhaps... there's still a glimmer of hope.
"Kill!"
"Devour!"
The slaughter continues, staining the Black Abyss... but it is Qi Yuan's blood.
The more Yang Emperor kills, the more Qi Yuan dissolves, his consciousness becoming increasingly hazy, and his mind clouded.
He is like a mindless devouring beast, avoiding the strong and consuming the weak.
...
"We've failed."
Shengnv's face is filled with sorrow.
"Why did we fail?"
The Sky Clan's Yang Emperor coughs up blood, suffering immensely.
It has been three months since Qi Yuan entered the Black Abyss.
No one could have imagined that Qi Yuan would actually slow down the terrifying bubble's consumption of the Divine Wood Universe.
With the breathing space gained, the Divine Wood Universe does not hesitate and ponders a way out of this predicament.
At this moment, an incarnation of the Void Overlord from the Zhou Universe descends.
"Gathering the eight Divine Lights of Human Origin will give the Divine Wood Universe a glimmer of hope," He speaks.
These words bring joy to all the Ancestor Deities, yet they are also perplexed.
In just a few hundred years, seven Divine Lights of Human Origin have been crafted. Logically, the eighth one... should be crafted soon.
But who could have known that even with the combined might of the Divine Wood Universe... the eighth Divine Light of Human Origin... cannot be created.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Countless Artificers, including God-ranked ones, have sacrificed themselves in this endeavor, and even three Ancestor God-ranked Artificers have chosen to offer themselves to witness the creation of the Divine Light.
However... the eighth Divine Light of Human Origin... remains elusive.
Failure!
Continuous failure!
"How do we resolve this situation?" Shengnv's face is filled with bitterness.
The Divine Wood Universe has only five Ancestor God-ranked Artificers.
Now, three of them have chosen to sacrifice themselves to forge the Divine Light.
The remaining two are the youngest, Shengnv, and the oldest, Qi Yu.
Other Ancestor God-ranked Artificers have also chosen to sacrifice themselves, leaving these two to lead the creation of the Divine Light.
"Why do we fail? Clearly... there's no mistake!" Qi Yu's aged face is filled with anguish.
The creation of the Divine Light, overseen by God-ranked Artificers, should have been sufficient.
Qi Yu has participated in the creation of the Divine Light three times, and all were successful.
This time, however, they cannot succeed, and they have even lost three Ancestor God-ranked Artificers in the process, not to mention countless ordinary Artificers.
Yuan remains silent, deep in thought.
The other Ancestor Deities are also agitated.
"While Qi Yuan holds off the enemies in the Black Abyss, we can't even create a single Divine Light here? This is absurd!" The hot-tempered bearded man speaks, tears streaming down his face.
"Useless, we're all useless!"
"What's the point of complaining? We should be thinking about how to create it!"
"What is the eighth Divine Light of Human Origin? What's missing?"
"Is it some kind of conditional restriction?"
All the Ancestor Deities discussed, but none could provide a clear answer.
Regarding Human Enlightenment, their knowledge came from the Yang Emperor of the Sky Clan.
And that Yang Emperor, regarding Human Enlightenment... didn't know much either.
Yuan's gaze shifted, and finally, gritting his teeth, he said, "I will seek an audience with the Void World Lord."
Just then, a majestic, ethereal figure descended.
He stood in the sky, directly in front of everyone, regardless of their position.
No matter where he was, he was always in their direct line of sight.
"Human Enlightenment... is not an ordinary Radiant Artifact."
"Radiant Artifacts are rules-based treasures."
"And Human Enlightenment... is crafted from the original rules that form a universe."
"I have analyzed the Divine Wood Universe in the Void Playground for ten thousand epochs. The Divine Wood Universe is formed from the eight original rules: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Rain, and Cloud."
"Now, seven Divine Origins of Human Radiance have gathered, only lacking the Water Art."
"As long as you find the final Water Art, the eighth Divine Origin of Human Radiance will be forged."
"With all eight Divine Origins gathered, perhaps... there may be a glimmer of hope."
All the Ancestor Deities felt a chill in their hearts.
Yuan stepped forward, "May I ask, where is the Water Art?"
The Void World Lord's voice echoed, "I do not know either."
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
The Water Art, which represented the original rule, where was it? And how could they capture it, how could they forge the eighth Divine Origin of Human Radiance? These were questions they couldn't answer.
"Lord, how much longer can Qi Yuan hold on in the Black Abyss?" Yuan asked again.
Everyone's hearts clenched.
They, too, wanted to know how Qi Yuan was faring.
The battles within the Black Abyss must be fierce and brutal.
The Void World Lord looked up, gazing into the Void Sea.
His eyes rested on the ever-expanding bubble, and a rare expression of emotion flickered in his eyes.
"Even I, upon entering the Black Abyss, would be assimilated in an instant. The fact that he has endured for so long... is a miracle."
"From what I can see... his True Spirit is dimming. If it fades any further, perhaps it will extinguish in the blink of an eye." The Void World Lord sighed.
In the Heaven-Creating Realm, he had witnessed 108,327 epochs.
He had experienced over 100,000 universe restarts and destructions.
A unique individual like Qi Yuan was a first for him.
"Anytime now?" The other Ancestor Deities felt a sense of despair upon hearing this.
This meant that Qi Yuan could collapse at any moment and perish.
If the eighth Divine Origin wasn't forged before Qi Yuan's fall, even if it were created afterward, it would serve no purpose.
"Lord, what exactly is the Black Abyss?" Yuan asked.
The Void World Lord narrowed his eyes, his voice deep and profound, "The Black Abyss exists, yet beneath it, mortals cannot fathom its existence."
The meaning of this statement was simple.
In the world where the Black Abyss existed, mortals couldn't even imagine what it was.
It's like having a dog in front of you, but your mind is blocked, and you only know it as 'Wang Cai' without realizing it's a dog.
The Black Abyss was like that.
"So, no matter how we try to think about it, it's impossible for us to know what the Black Abyss is?" Yuan felt a surge of frustration.
This feeling of being blocked from knowledge was unpleasant.
Generally, secrets are powerful because they are hidden and unknown.
Once all the information is revealed, the secret becomes vulnerable.
But now, this secret had a mental block.
This meant that as long as the secret existed, no one could uncover it.
The Void World Lord extended three fingers, "I can take away three worlds' worth of souls from the Divine Wood Universe."
The Divine Wood Universe had already been infiltrated by the Black Abyss.
Even the Void World Lord, who was just one step away from breaking through to the next realm, could only protect the souls of three worlds.
"Thank you, Lord!" Yuan bowed respectfully.
At least, if the Divine Wood Universe were to be destroyed, some souls... would have a place to dwell.
...
Within the Black Abyss.
Three thrones were seated in the sky, their gazes mechanical, devoid of emotion.
Below, the battle raged fiercely.
The fighting was brutal, like meat being ground in a stone mill.
Qi Yuan, who once had a strong presence, now appeared almost formless, his humanity fading.
The seven Divine Origins of Human Radiance had transformed into halos of various colors, encircling him.
And he, a mass of crimson light, seemed like a red hole adorned with seven halos, devouring everything in its path, everything in the world.
The three throne occupants observed Qi Yuan, their expressions calm.
"His essence... is peculiar."
"Never before has there been a soul in the world that could devour the Black Abyss."
"It's similar to the Black Abyss."
"He... is about to create a new universe."
