The divine light of the heavens emitted a brilliance that pierced through the ages, like the most enchanting precious jade in the world. At this moment, the original feeling of emptiness had disappeared.
Instead, it was replaced by a kind of condensed reality. It made people see the true meaning at first glance, as if it was the truth of the world, the manifestation of the Dao!
Rays of divine light interweaved and lingered around the circular mark. The light was like a waterfall, and the divine light was like a tide. At this moment, this mark could finally be called a Godhead.
The Godhead constantly flashed with divine light, outlining the patterns of the heavens one after another. At this moment, these patterns no longer had the slightest rejection. It was like the true fusion of the myriad Dao in the world. There was some connection and compatibility between them.
This Godhead was like a world, containing the patterns of the Dao, re-constructing a world of patterns of the Dao.
In the silence, there was no sense of the passage of time. Xiao Chen was like a savage. If it wasn't for the divine light of the heavens surrounding him, he would simply be like a piece of stone, silent, without light or color.
However, the stone emitted boundless divine light. The divine lotus bloomed, and the divine flowers sprinkled down. Thousands of rays of divine light surrounded his body.
At this moment, he, who was sitting on the divine lotus, was like a true god. It was as if he was the center of the entire space-time. As he breathed, he vaguely became one with the world, and the Dao became one with the same.
All of a sudden, the surrounding darkness shook. Divine light burst forth and turned into a myriad of heavenly rivers of divine light, piercing through the boundless region. Xiao Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the divine lotus, opened his eyes at this moment!
Immediately, there was a sound like the divine drum of the heavens. Xiao Chen, who was on the divine lotus, suddenly stood up. The light between his eyebrows shone brightly. Wisps of divine light splashed and vaguely manifested an ancient time and space of mountains and rivers. Divine light was like a waterfall.
This mountain and river continued to expand. Patterns of the Dao manifested and directly merged into the void, becoming a part of the mountain and river. There were divine mountains that towered into the sky, and there were boundless lakes that were like blue waves. These were all the manifestations of the Dao.
The Dao was the simplest, but it was ever-changing. It supported the entire mountain and river. At this moment, Xiao Chen used the Dao patterns of the Dao that he had comprehended to construct the most ancient and wild mountain and river. The manifestation of the Dao was the manifestation of the mountain and river.
"Condense!"
The heavenly voice was like thunder. When Xiao Chen spoke, it was as if he was the supreme ruler. The dao pattern that was buzzing and emitting a myriad of rays of light completely collapsed. At the same time, the thousands of miles of desolate mountains and rivers also melted. It was as if all the light was converging towards the center of his eyebrows.
In just a few breaths of time, the countless strands of divine light from before had all converged into the fist-sized Godhead. Even the Divine Lotus beneath him had dimmed slightly at this moment.
All the divine light gathered at the center of his eyebrows. It was as if it had penetrated through time. The dao patterns of the great path resonated with each other, constantly recombining and fusing. However, if one looked closely, they seemed to be independent of each other.
Seventy-two dao patterns!
At this moment, Xiao Chen's black hair fluttered in the wind. The blood and heart force that he had exhausted because of the silence seemed to be replenished in an instant. His complexion was as smooth as jade, and multicolored light enveloped his godhead, forming the outline of mysterious Dao patterns.
Buzz buzz buzz!
In an instant, his Godhead shone with dazzling light, as though it was about to explode. At this moment, his entire body was like a blazing sun, and the sun and moon in his eyes flickered. Boundless divine power rushed to the brink of eruption, and an incomparably terrifying aura burst forth.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, boundless energy burst out from Xiao Chen's body again, suppressing the eruption of the Godhead. At this moment, he had constructed the Godhead, but he still needed to pass through the God's Test to truly step into the Empty God Realm.
However, the place where he was now was inside a crimson heart, and it gave him a feeling of boundless stillness. If he directly triggered it here, he wouldn't be able to get any replenishment at all. Instead, he would be sucked dry by the Star Sea World.
To break through the True God Realm, he needed to expand the Star Sea World. At this moment, the Seal of Mountains and Rivers was left outside, so he couldn't use any of his treasures. However, now that he had broken through the True God Realm, even the treasures in the small world of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers were far from enough for his consumption.
"No, this is the crimson heart, the central hub where the entire Sky Clan absorbs the blood-colored energy from the desolate world. How can there be no blood-colored energy here? It looks more like a desolate world!"
"This is a small world that I created in my heart when I perished. It contains the remnants of the Innate Battle Mark!"
At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. The light that was like a candle flame actually suppressed his Heavenly Divine Light.
"Ancient Desolation Emperor!"
The figure that appeared was the Ancient Desolation Emperor. The illusory figure that seemed like it was going to be blown away in the next moment had the majesty to suppress the universe.
"It's a pity that although my power back then was enough to pierce through the sun and moon, I still couldn't compare to those innate true spirits. Moreover, I was about to be obliterated. Even after exhausting all my power, I could only strip the scene of the battle of a hundred innate true spirits from this crimson heart!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly understood why he had been quiet for such a long time, but had always been safe and sound. There was not even the slightest ripple. It turned out that the Ancient Desolation Emperor had already built it countless years ago.
"Back then, I didn't even find out if the consciousness of the original body of the crimson heart had been completely obliterated. That's why you want to absorb the blood-colored energy in the heart …"
Sensing that Xiao Chen had accumulated to its peak, the Ancient Desolation Emperor spoke.
Xiao Chen understood that the heart left behind by an innate true spirit, even after several civilizations, would still cause people to tremble in fear. This was the first life form that could pierce through the primal chaos, and it was no longer sufficient to describe it as immortal and indestructible. If it wasn't for them killing each other and courting death, how could there be a subsequent era of civilization in this world?
"I suspect that those old things in the Tian Clan who claim to be able to calculate the heavens and earth have been bewitched by this blood-colored heart. Do you still dare to enter the depths of the blood-colored heart and absorb the blood energy to forge your Divine Deity?"
Hiss!
Xiao Chen could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. If that was really the case, this innate true spirit was truly terrifying. It had continuously absorbed the blood energy of the Desolate World since ancient times. Didn't that mean that the Tian Clan, who boasted that everyone was like a dragon, had always been absorbing second-hand blood energy?
"Of course, this is just a suspicion. I have traversed the River of Time and Space for such a long time, but this heart has not fluctuated in the slightest. Perhaps it really has been annihilated. All these years, even if it has been supplying the Tian Clan Continent, the silent blood color in the heart is definitely beyond imagination. It is more than enough to help you break through to the God Realm, or even go further!"
The Ancient Desolation Emperor looked at Xiao Chen just like that, without the slightest change in his divine light. He purely looked at him as if he was looking at a descendant. As the first generation of the Human Emperor, he had created the Human Dao Era. His bearing had passed through the years, beyond imagination. In his eyes, the younger generation of the Human Race were all juniors.
Just like that, a few breaths passed quietly. The Ancient Desolation Emperor did not rush him, and Xiao Chen was also thinking. To be honest, this was the best place for him to advance to the God Realm!
Firstly, with the pressure from the outside world, improving his strength was naturally the basic requirement to protect his life. In other words, even if he could return to the Human World, it would not be easy to accumulate the resources needed to advance to the God Realm. This was not just a little bit, it was beyond imagination.
Even before he had advanced to the God Realm, he had already constructed a space of eight million square kilometers. Even if it was only ten times the expansion, it would still be eighty million miles of space. This was not a land of eighty million miles, but a three-dimensional space world of the universe.
This also included the main continent of the Star Sea, 108 subsidiary continents, and 360 stars. This was just the current number. If he were to expand again, these would need resources to support them.
An immeasurably large number of resources!
And this was the transit hub for the Tian Clan to absorb the blood energy of countless years. If the accumulated blood energy was not enough, they could still directly extract the blood from the Nine Underworlds.
Even if a part of the blood energy belonged to the Human Clan, even if he did not absorb it, it would still be supplied to the Tian Clan.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. To be able to advance to the God Realm and cut off the foundation of the Tian Clan, he would do it!
Even if the consciousness of the Innate True Spirit had not been erased, he had to fight it out. He could not let the old things of the Tian Clan have it easy!
Even if he died, he had to bite off a piece of meat!
"Former emperor, it seems that I have no other choice."
Hearing this, the Ancient Desolation's eyes flashed, but he did not speak. The next moment, Xiao Chen once again felt his surroundings enter a trance. However, at the last moment, he found that the will of the Ancient Desolation Emperor had become more and more illusory.
This caused his heart to sink!
When Xiao Chen came to his senses again, he found that he had stepped into a world of blood from the darkness, or rather, he was directly immersed in a sea of blood.
From top to bottom, to left and right, everything was the color of blood. When he released his consciousness, he could not find the end of the sea of blood. All he could sense was a sea of blood.
It was like an ordinary ocean, but it was incomparably calm. There was not the slightest ripple. Everything was so silent. The only difference was that this blood was incomparably pure blood energy!
Without the slightest trace of the Origin of the Race, it was pure blood energy. It was hard to imagine how many lives had been lost in this endless sea of blood.
Even a drop of pure blood would require the blood and bones of a warrior of the Supreme Tower Realm to be refined. But here, it was an ocean.
"Damn the Tian Clan!"
That was the only thought in Xiao Chen's mind!
This was no longer a massacre, but the extermination of life!
Buzz!
He did not move. Just like that, he floated in the sea of blood. His entire body exploded with divine light. In an instant, a blood-colored vortex appeared around his entire body. Blood-colored energy surged into his body.
However, the sea of blood was simply too vast and boundless. Even though he had formed a vortex to absorb it, there was not the slightest disturbance.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The blood-colored vortex gradually grew, from a thousand miles to ten thousand miles, and then to a hundred thousand miles. Only then did the speed of expansion slow down.
Almost in a breath's time, the amount of blood-colored energy that he had swallowed into his body was beyond imagination. All of it entered the sea of stars!
