At the same time, Luo Xiu didn't stop after doing all this. At this moment, he thoroughly understood what he had to do next. He poured his powerful soul power into the altar, opening a small hole at the top of the altar. Then, his terrifying soul power directly condensed into a substance and swept towards the surrounding void.
Streaks and streaks of spatial fluctuations were completely melted under this horrifying power. The boundless Origin of the World seemed to have been summoned. An incomparably huge shadow of a portal appeared from the void, just like three portals. When Luo Xiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but be aghast. If this was really the hiding place of the Origin of the World, then Luo Xiu would have to make a good plan. This was simply unimaginable.
Seeing this scene, Luo Xiu couldn't help but be aghast. Originally, he thought that the altar in his hand was just an ordinary altar. After pulling out the three bronze portals, the 36 portals merged into one. It was like a pipe was inserted into the pool, frantically extracting the World Origin's power that Luo Xiu didn't know about.
Feeling that the spatial array he had set up was about to collapse at any time, under the impact of this powerful energy, Luo Xiu was really nervous at this moment. Even though he had taken out the boundary compass, he still felt a chill down his spine. The extremely terrifying energy flowing in the tube was so strong that it made him feel like his entire body was trembling.
Luo Xiu did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly increased the intensity of the energy input. He even commanded the system in his mind to directly reinforce the array formation and use the powerful energy to stabilize the array formation. To him, whether he could succeed or not depended on whether the spatial lock array would be effective or not. However, looking at the thirty-five spatial cracks, Luo Xiu could not help but grit his teeth and reveal a crazy expression.
For him, seeing this scene, his guess was confirmed. Once he started the sacrificial ceremony, if he wanted to obtain the complete World Origin, he must have a powerful force. Just relying on an altar and a few offerings was not enough.
Even if he had enough faith power, it was impossible. So he thought that the 36 altars were a set. Even if only one of the altars was performing the sacrificial ceremony, the other 35 altars would also provide assistance at the same time. Sure enough, his guess was right. This made Luo Xiu breathe a sigh of relief. He was worried that the other 35 altars could be used separately. At that time, the losses he would suffer would be immeasurable.
Since his guess was right, Luo Xiu was completely relieved. Then, he launched a series of complicated gestures. The terrifying spatial fluctuations were suppressed again. Luo Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the altars that were still frantically extracting the World Origin, Luo Xiu smiled at this moment.
To him, this was simply a sumptuous feast. Previously, he had thought of it so perfectly, but now, all of it was useless. To Luo Xiu, this was simply the most perfect operation. This time, not only did he obtain the approximate location of the other thirty-five altars, he even obtained the World Origin of a world.
With this thing, his Heavenly Demon Avatar's cultivation base would be able to recover by half. As for the rest, it could be placed in the sect, allowing the sect's Tianyangzi and the others to improve their cultivation base. Thinking of this benefit, Luo Xiu no longer hated the Black Devil Sect. He even wanted to thank them.
Because in any case, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was so smooth that he himself found it unbelievable. But looking at the altars that were still frantically extracting the World Origin, Luo Xiu couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression.
He guessed that the reason for this was that the faith power he provided was insufficient. Coupled with the previous consumption of the array, the speed of devouring the World Origin of this world was too slow. But in this regard, Luo Xiu didn't have a good solution. After all, this was a predicament that he couldn't get out of alone in a short period of time.
At this very moment, Luo Xiu fell into deep thought as he looked at the thirty-six threads that flickered with light and darkness. He could clearly tell that the reason for this should be due to the problem of distance. As a result, when the thirty-six altars were devouring the Origin of the World, there were differences in the devouring speed.
Even the altar in front of him wasn't the most powerful one. Instead, the most powerful altar was the most powerful one among the 36 strands of light. At this moment, Luo Xiu originally thought that the altar in front of him should be the most powerful one. But he didn't expect that it wasn't what he had guessed. This made Luo Xiu fall into contemplation.
"System, if I let you come into contact with the direction of the energy conduction, can you deduce the true location of the other 35 altars at this moment? I can't let these guys have a share of the loot every time I use the secret technique to plunder the World Origin, right?"
Not long after falling into contemplation, Luo Xiu thought of a very helpless situation and asked the System in his mind. Although he wanted to seize the other 35 altars now, the truth was that he couldn't do anything about it. Instead, he had to be careful that the altar in front of him would be recalled by the 35 altars if they joined hands. This was the most troublesome thing. "I'll have to try it first.
But now we don't dare to approach the altar at all. It's not that the System is powerless, but that the attribute of the energy is not the same. This kind of energy is highly condensed and is even active. The System can't track it at all. Therefore, the System advises the Host not to think too much about it. It's impossible. Needless to say, this kind of energy is dispensable for the Host. With your current cultivation, you can't use it at all. This part of the World Origin is not as useful for the Heavenly Devil Doppelganger as you think. Instead, it's better to devour the flesh and blood of some spiritual beasts!
Moreover, the System detected that when you used this altar to sacrifice this world, a very strange force had already entangled your soul. If it weren't for the existence of the congenital Hong Meng Immortal Qi in your soul, you would be a dead man at this moment! "
The System's words were blunt and even carried a trace of vigilance. Luo Xiu heard the cautious tone of advice clearly.
"Dead man?
What do you mean?
Don't tell me you're saying that the backlash of this world can directly kill me?
That's not right. I relied on the Sky Demon Avatar to sacrifice. How could such a situation occur? You can't be joking, right? "Luo Xiu said in disbelief.
No matter how he thought about it, he would never have thought that the System would say such a thing. Although he knew that the World's Origin plundered by the Black Devil Altar was somewhat strange and even very useful, he was just trying to find out the specific locations of the other 35 altars. He didn't intend to rely on the World's Origin to improve his cultivation like the Black Cult did. Not to mention that it was somewhat wasteful. Luo Xiu was also somewhat worried about the so-called backlash of the Way of Heaven. Needless to say, when he heard the System's serious words, he even had a trace of vigilance.
After all, the notoriety of the Black Cult was well known to everyone, especially in ancient times when the Beehive World was at its most brilliant. At that time, the Beehive World was said to have more than 60,000 plane worlds of various sizes. Now, the number of worlds that could support the survival of practitioners was less than 30% of what it had been in its heyday. This showed how much the Black Cult had done back then.
Although the Sky Demon Cult had now risen from the ashes, they were no longer as crazy as before. Through this period of contact, Luo Xiu also realized that the reason why the Black Cult had gone to such great lengths to directly destroy so many worlds was to nurture the weapon spirits within the altars. Many of the Black Cult had died in the repeated sacrifices.
"That's right. Do you remember when you killed those Black Cult cultists on the mountaintop platform? Did you notice that there was something wrong with their positioning? The System only realized it after replaying the video later. I obtained the results and reverse the process, which was how I realized that the Black Cult cultists had formed a formation that could resist the backlash when they sacrificed to seize the world's Essence. Although this formation could only resist seventy to eighty percent of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao, the remaining would still cause many deaths. If you look closely, you will notice that the three leaders of the sacrificers appeared very powerful on the surface, even having earth-shattering cultivation bases, but they did not have much lifespan left. Therefore, the System deduced that the backlash from the Heavenly Dao should directly target the composition of a person's soul and affect their spirit. If there is a problem with the spirit, a practitioner's lifespan would definitely be affected, and the practitioner's ascension in cultivation would also be greatly affected. This shows how ruthless the Patriarch of the Black Cult was, his style of doing things by hook or by crook, very much resembling the style of the Devouring Heaven Emperor back then!"
The System seemed to sigh and exclaim as it explained to Luo Xiu. From its words, it seemed that the System was extremely fearful of such a strange method.
"I see. No wonder I always felt a faint sense of danger in my mind. It turns out that the problem is actually the sacrifice process. If that's the case, it can also explain why every time something happens to the Black Cult, it would directly stir up a storm and attract a large number of cultists to stir up trouble. It turns out that they rely on numbers to share the burden and absorb the backlash from the Heavenly Dao of the world's Essence!
If that's the case, then there's no need to be so worried. If it's really that simple, then why were those destroyed worlds in Tianhua Laozu's memory unable to resist the Patriarch of the Black Cult?
Unless this old guy also has an innate Essence like the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, otherwise, it's impossible for him to withstand the backlash from the Heavenly Dao. Is there a problem with this? "Luo Xiu asked in disbelief.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his heart pounding. If his speculation was true, then he simply didn't dare to imagine where he would go if such a situation occurred.
After all, for him, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi in his mind was not clear about its effects. If he had more Hong Meng Immortal Qi or treasures of the same level as it, he could definitely increase his knowledge and thoroughly understand the secrets within. "This System cannot be confirmed.
However, this person must have had other opportunities. Otherwise, just by relying on these 36 altars … Alas, that's not right. In fact, these 36 altars should be divided into primary and secondary altars. If all 36 altars appear in a world at the same time, they should be able to offset the backlash from the Heavenly Dao. This is similar to the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Formation from before. However, those people from the Cheng Huang Clan used the Qi and blood of living creatures to set up the formation. These guys are indeed relatively powerful, but compared to the Black Cult people who rely on the Strength of Faith to do this, they are indeed somewhat diametrically opposite and achieve the same result! "The System nodded in agreement.
"What you said makes sense. In that case, we can only solve the problem of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao through other means. Actually, there's no need for that. Since I have the Innate Hong Meng Immortal Qi in me, I don't have to care about the backlash from the Heavenly Dao at all. Moreover, I have a plan. Unless I have full confidence, there's no need to waste the World's Origin. This thing doesn't have much of an effect on my cultivation. On the contrary, I have a feeling that if I devour too much of the World's Origin, even if the Small World in my body improves by leaps and bounds, the Heavenly Dao's influence on me in the process of cultivation will become stronger. Even if my doppelganger is a Heavenly Demon, my real body will receive more attention. When that time comes, the Heavenly Punishment from Heaven and Earth will be hundreds or thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary practitioners. In this way, even with the help of the System, I don't feel the need to be so ostentatious. Even if I can safely survive the Heavenly Tribulation, there won't be much improvement in my cultivation!
Therefore, unless I can get my hands on all 36 altars, I have no interest in continuing to harm these Small Planes! "
Luo Xiu's words came from the bottom of his heart. It wasn't a decision he made on a whim. Instead, he knew very well that it was better for him to keep a low profile under such circumstances. Even if no one in the Profound Underworld Sect suspected his identity for the time being, the enemies he interacted with would definitely sense that something was off.
During this period of time, although Luo Xiu had been in seclusion, he could sense that the entire Xuanming School was busy and tense. The threat of the Black Cult was still rampant. However, because of Tianhua Laozu's strong counterattack, the whole world now knew that the Black Cult had suffered a great loss at the hands of Tianhua Laozu.
Now, all the forces in the Beehive World, big and small, were waiting for the Black Cult and Xuanming School to fight to the death between the two major forces. However, no one expected the Black Cult to be so decisive. Seeing that they couldn't take advantage of Xuanming School, they directly turned their guns to the Great Qin Dynasty and the Phantom Kingdom. These two forces were suddenly attacked. Even if they had been prepared when the Black Cult had just shown its first signs.
