"The real ultimate?"
Hu Qi's eyes flashed with a strange light.
This information is not groundless.
And the reason why he knows all this is
It's because in the category he knows, there is indeed an ultimate.
That was the dark ring suspended above everything that he saw at the source when he used Origin Eye of Delusion to spy on the origin of Scarlet Panel.
Its name is 'Mysterious Ring', which most likely belongs to the original level.
It is suspected to be the real Creator.
And Hu Qi has the aura from Mysterious Ring.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Netherworld Heavenly Venerable calls Hu Qi 'Odd One'.
At the same time, Hu Qi also understood why the other party wanted to attack him.
As Netherworld Heavenly Venerable, who is in charge of the reincarnation of the Mountain Sea Realm, compared with other Tianzun.
On the one hand, its perception of reincarnation is more subtle. Perhaps the other party has noticed the existence of Hu Qi a long time ago, but because it is trapped in Core Land, the extent to which it can intervene is limited.
In addition, the lower dimension cannot carry too much power at all, so the originally broken Black Spirit Banner was placed in Nightmare World.
All this is a calculated result.
It will definitely fall into the hands of Hu Qi.
With the power of Black Spirit Banner, even if it is broken, the power it possesses is not something that ordinary people can refuse.
The facts did not exceed Netherworld Heavenly Venerable's prediction.
Hu Qi indeed refined it and placed it in the Mind Realm. Although he noticed something was wrong after entering True World and took action to seal Black Spirit Banner, it was of no use.
In a way, Netherworld Heavenly Venerable did succeed.
It's just that I didn't expect the existence of Scarlet Panel.
The original act of integrating and occupying the identity of Hu Qi failed.
The reason why Netherworld Heavenly Venerable did this was not for other reasons, but for one reason.
That's because you want to improve your own strength.
Because whether it is True Spirit level from the Mountain Sea Realm or those from the Void Sea, they are comparable to True Spirit level, the Lord of the Void.
In itself, True Spirit Mark is placed on the half-step pseudo-Origin Realm of the Void Sea and Mountain Sea Realm.
That is the second realm of true spirit.
Although doing this can make you break through and be promoted to True Spirit level.
But it also has an extremely serious drawback.
That is, after being promoted to True Spirit level, it is impossible to continue to increase the power. The first level of true spirit, Source Reflection Realm, is the limit that all True Spirit level can reach.
This is also the reason why Hu Qi asked Evolution Heavenly Venerable True Spirit level if there are other realms above, and the other party said they did not exist.
In some ways, this is true.
After all, whether it is Void Sea entrusted to True Spirit Mark, or Mountain Sea Realm Heavenly Dao itself, no matter how powerful it is, it is only the existence of the second realm 'Source Transformation Realm'.
This principle is like the height of a fountain, which will never exceed the setting of the water gate.
With the upper limits of the two, it is natural that True Spirit level, which relies on them, cannot go any further.
But Hu Qi is different.
He is suspected to be related to the origin of the One and Only, and can place True Spirit Mark in it.
This also means that Hu Qi has the opportunity to become a third existence comparable to Mountain Sea Realm Heavenly Dao and Void Sea.
And this is exactly the purpose of Netherworld Heavenly Venerable.
She wanted to use this to escape from the control of Mountain Sea Realm Heavenly Dao and move towards a higher realm.
As for why we have to wait until Hu Qi is promoted to True Spirit level, there may be two reasons:
First, his body is still weak and cannot withstand the fusion of her power;
Second, premature intervention may cause unnecessary variables.
Unfortunately, despite all the hard calculations, the opponent failed in the end.
"Odd One..."
Hu Qi's eyes flashed.
Hu Qi doesn't know much about the suspected ultimate original 'Mysterious Ring' itself.
It's just that after the true spirit is entrusted in it, some information feedback is obtained.
But judging from the information currently available, it is most likely not an accident that he obtained Scarlet Panel.
There may be deeper reasons for this.
However, Hu Qi didn't think much about it.
He never gets caught up in himself.
Moreover, there is no point in thinking about this now. It will not be too late to find a way to obtain more detailed information about 'Mysterious Ring' later and make further calculations.
Think about this.
He returned his attention to Scarlet Panel.
His eyes finally stopped on Divine Limit Heart Art.
Today, there are still 180 units of Modification Points, which is more than enough to continue to improve Divine Limit Heart Art.
True Spirit level is different from other realms.
After reaching this state, the level of life has already undergone qualitative changes.
There is no such thing as an unstable foundation.
"Crimson, raise Divine Limit Heart Art True Spirit Chapter to the Source Reflection Realm for me!"
The moment the thought fell, the numbers in the Modification Points column began to beat rapidly.
At the same time, Hu Qi felt that the power in his body was sublimating again, and the rich True Spirit Light spread like a tide.
The connection between him and True Spirit Mark became closer and closer, and his aura also increased steadily.
The induction of that 'Mysterious Ring' has gradually become clearer, and it can be sensed without even using the power of Origin Eye of Delusion.
In addition, Hu Qi even vaguely noticed that deep inside that True Spirit Light, something seemed to be quietly gestating.
True Spirit Light, derived from the strange light emitted by the transformation of his soul after his promotion to True Spirit level.
The changes at this moment meant that something unknown was brewing in his soul.
Combining the information obtained previously, Hu Qi actually had some guesses in his mind.
It took a while until all the changes gradually subsided.
He looked at the panel again:
--
[Skills: Divine Limit Heart Art (True Spirit Chapter ninth level: Source Reflection Realm perfect) Characteristics: True Spirit Light]
[Modification Points:90 units (51%)]
In the blink of an eye, Hu Qi went from first entering Source Reflection Realm to breakthrough all the way to perfection.
The price is to consume a full 90 units of Modification Points.
The remaining Modification Points is no longer enough to support the next upgrade.
Obviously, if you want to hit the True Spirit level second level Source Transformation Realm, the Modification Points required will be even more amazing.
Feel the condition of the body.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the special power within his body.
Originally, there were two levels of power blocking him.
One is the seal imposed by Netherworld Heavenly Venerable, but this was directly removed by Hu Qi after he was promoted to a true spirit.
The second is the ban of Void Sea Will.
Void Sea exists as True Spirit level's second realm Source Transformation Realm.
Naturally, it is not comparable to Netherworld Heavenly Venerable.
With the power of Hu Qi who had just been promoted to True Spirit level, it was natural that he could not resist.
Under its ban, only the power at the true god level can be exerted.
But now as his strength grows.
This ban seems to have been loosened, allowing his power to reach Dao Lord Realm.
However, Hu Qi did not immediately use Scarlet Panel to modify it to get rid of this negative state.
Instead, he put away the panel.
Modification Points still has 90 units and cannot be upgraded to Divine Limit Heart Art.
Moreover, this True Spirit level second realm Source Transformation Realm is somewhat different from other realms.
Plus there are lessons learned from the past.
Let Hu Qi feel that these Modification Points are not safe.
He also needs to accumulate more Modification Points to prevent accidents during promotion.
And this place in front of him is a perfect pasture for harvesting Modification Points.
This is why he is in no hurry to leave.
In the slightest movement of my mind.
His figure had faded from where he was, and when he solidified again, he had reached a height of ten thousand feet in the sky.
Looking down.
But below you can see thousands of mountains and ravines winding like a dragon's spine, with countless cities dotted here and there.
Just like the black jade stones scattered on the chessboard, the territory of thousands of miles is divided into tribute boundaries of various countries.
The spiritual veins are faintly visible among the clouds, winding like silver ribbons, and the entire continent is so vast that there is no end in sight.
However, that is not what Hu Qi cares about.
But something else.
From his perspective.
Black energy that cannot be caught by the naked eye rises from creatures, mountains, rivers, and everything else.
The whole world seems normal, but in fact it is not.
This is a Hengsha world within the Void Sea. He can clearly sense that outside this world, there are countless similar worlds surrounding it.
That's all it used to be.
Now that Hu Qi has been promoted to True Spirit level, he can see some things more clearly.
This Void Sea and Mountain Sea Realm Heavenly Dao are opposite to each other.
Void Sea was born from the Mountain Sea Realm, one yin and one yang.
Void Sea itself is like a mirror, Mountain Sea Realm possesses all the heavens and worlds, and these worlds also exist inside the Void Sea.
However, one thing that is different is that every living creature here has that kind of black energy in its body.
This black gas is somewhat similar to the Source Calamity black mist, with a dark atmosphere of despair, decay, and ominousness.
This is also the main reason why all living beings in this world possess Modification Points.
Hu Qi stood with his hands behind his back, counting with one hand, and then a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"Western Ox Continent, Spirit Mountain, Lion Camel Ridge... This world is a bit interesting, could it be Journey to the West?"
The memories he had just retrieved from the soul of Mountain Patrol Demon King had now been digested by him.
Moreover, with his current state, heaven and earth are in harmony.
With some easy calculation, you can get more detailed information.
However, this result surprised him a little.
But it is also within reason.
Countless worlds in the universe are evolving all the time. Some of the stories and legends known to ordinary people in the world may be the result of the projection of an invisible force from a higher world.
The name of this place is Wei Kingdom, and there are actually eight hundred dynasties like this in this land.
The most powerful among them is undoubtedly Lion Camel Kingdom.
This territory is also named Lion Camel Ridge because it has mountains and very few plains.
On the surface it appears to be the Human Race dynasty, but in fact it has long been secretly controlled by the demon clan.
The humans here are just blood food raised by these demon clans.
And deeper still, there is the Buddha's tacit approval all over the sky.
This place is somewhat similar to the Journey to the West he knows.
The One and Only The difference is.
In Hu Qi's eyes, no matter what Human Race is here, monsters or Buddhas, they are just appearances.
These creatures are neither human nor demon in nature, they just take on their own form.
In essence, they are all some kind of creatures bred by the Void Sea.
It belongs to the dark side that is opposite to reality.
But this is actually a good thing for him.
Just because no matter how weak these creatures are, they all contain 'Modification Points' in their bodies.
Now that he has stepped into True Spirit level, his understanding of the avenue has become deeper and deeper.
Because of this, he finally got a glimpse of the essence of Modification Points.
That was not the soul or origin he thought before, but a more abstract concept.
If I could sum it up in two words, it would be 'existence'.
The 'existence' here is like the amount of words used to describe a character in a storybook, or the weight of the character's plot in movies and TV shows.
The stronger the creature, the thicker its own 'existence' will be.
For this kind of thing, even if True Spirit level exists, there is no way to extract it.
But Hu Qi, who owns Scarlet Panel, can plunder this 'existence' by hunting and devouring it, and transform it into Modification Points.
This also explains why some creatures cannot obtain all Modification Points as long as they still have a ray of immortal soul.
Just because their 'existence' has not been completely deprived of them.
Different from those mortal creatures in the Mountain Sea Realm that may have no "existence" at all.
Here, even the weakest creature contains a trace of Modification Points.
Therefore, this is a natural Modification Points pasture for him.
Thinking of this, Hu Qi lowered his eyes and looked down.
His right hand casually reached to his side.
A long black flag appeared out of thin air and was held firmly in his palm.
It is the True Artifact, Black Spirit Banner that originated from Netherworld Heavenly Venerable.
"--ah!"
Suddenly, a wisp of residual seal floated out from the flag and instantly disintegrated into nothingness, leaving only a faint scream.
That is Netherworld Heavenly Venerable's own mark imprinted on it in the past and Black Spirit Banner's own flag spirit.
This thing is hidden too deeply.
In the past, he had not entered the true spirit and could hardly detect the existence of this spirit.
But it is different now. With the flip of a palm, it can be completely erased.
This flag finally belongs to him completely.
The last incomplete line on the flag has been completed by Hu Qi himself.
As for the existence of the banner spirit, although it can increase the power of True Artifact, Hu Qi does not need it at all. All he needs is a handy tool, nothing more.
His wrist shook slightly, Black Banner swayed, and the flag surface surged like ink waves.
Buzz!
A jet-black color, like thick ink splashed across the sky, spread suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Lion Camel Ridge was enveloped.
Lion Camel Ridge stretches across 80,000 miles, including eight hundred dynasties, countless villages scattered around, and monster mansions looming.
At this moment, black flames ignited from countless creatures.
This is the spiritual fire, and what is burned is the 'spirit'.
All living things contain spirituality within their bodies. Once this fire comes out, there is no way to avoid it or put it out.
The more powerful the creature, the more intense the black flame damage will be.
Only truly dead things are immune.
Time goes back to before.
The moment Mountain Patrol Demon King was killed.
Lion Camel Cave.
It is said to be a hole, but in fact the space inside is huge, like Sumeru's small world.
Deep in the cave, the air was as thick as coagulated blood.
That is not darkness, it is a kind of Yin Energy that has accumulated countless resentments and despair.
What is attached to the rock wall is not moss, but a layer of dark red minced meat that is constantly pulsing slightly, like the internal organs of a living creature, slowly exuding fishy mucus, dripping on the bones piled below, making a sizzling corroding sound.
As far as the eye can see, numerous bones and skeletons are piled up to form undulating mountains.
Human hair was trampled into thick sheets, covering the ground.
Rotten flesh and dust mixed together, emitting a sickly sweet smell.
What's even more shocking is that human tendons as thick as a child's arm are wrapped around the dead strange tree. They have long been dried and reflect a strange luster as bright as silver under the reflection of the green will-o'-the-wisp.
This place is a veritable mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and every breath is filled with the smell of death.
However, in the center of this bloody hell, there is a relatively 'pure' place.
Three huge stone pedestals, hewn from a single piece of black rock, stand on a high platform made of skulls.
Sitting on it were three terrifying-looking, humanoid creatures.
The leader Green-maned Lion Monster is standing in the middle. He is the tallest and has a mane like indigo flames.
At this moment, he was holding a half-gnawed mortal leg bone with one huge claw, and raised a huge stone bowl with Crimson liquid in his other hand. He raised his head and poured it down. The blood mixed with wine slurry overflowed from the corners of his mouth and dripped along the knotted mane.
"Happy!"
His voice was like muffled thunder, echoing in the cave and making the dust on the ceiling fall rustlingly.
The lower end has six teeth Yellow-tusked Old Elephant Great Demon. The long nose is lightly curled, and it can easily lift the whole roasted black human animal on the stone table and put it into the mouth.
The heartbreaking sound of bone shattering can be heard clearly.
He chewed his food carefully and looked calm, except for the occasional bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
Compare the two.
Sitting on the other side is Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle, who is wearing a golden feather coat and has the most elegant posture.
He picked up the wine glass. The wine glass was a clear crystal glass, but the liquid inside was as red as blood.
Take a sip.
"Brother, this Lion Camel Cave has a different kind of scenery."
Dapeng Diao chuckled, his voice sharp.
Upon hearing this, the green lion spirit threw out the clean leg bones in his hands and hit the Skeleton Ridge in the distance, causing a crashing sound.
He laughed.
"Brother, it's fine if you like it. The three brothers and I are free and unruly here. Even if King Yama sees it, he will have to take a detour. Come, have another bowl!"
"Okay, big brother, second brother!"
The thick smell of blood mixed with the smell of alcohol lingered in the air.
The ghostly fire jumped on the cave wall, casting the huge and twisted shadows of the three Demon Saint on the wall behind them, dancing with the light of the fire, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
But at this moment.
--Bang!!
The bronze wine cup was slammed to the ground, and bloody wine splashed everywhere.
The green lion spirit stood up suddenly.
The originally calm green demonic flames around him suddenly surged as if they were swept by a hurricane!
The dark cave was reflected in a gloomy green, and the pulsating flesh and tangled tendons on the walls cast twisted and swaying shadows, as if the entire devil's cave had come to life.
"Brother, why are you so angry?"
Yellow-tusked Old Elephant jing put down the pale bone organ in his palm and curled his long nose.
"The soul fire of one of my subordinates, Mountain Patrol Demon King, is extinguished."
Green-maned Lion's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, and the cold murderous intent caused the temperature in the cave to drop sharply.
Jin Pengdiao raised his eyelids. There was no wave in his dark golden pupils, but he did not interrupt.
"Huh? There is such a thing!"
Yellow-tusked Old Elephant Jing was a little surprised.
You know, this is the territory of Buddhism at the feet of the Western Ox Continent and Spirit Mountain.
The three demons are causing trouble here. How could they be so unscrupulous without the tacit consent of those beings behind them?
Buddhism will not take action against them at all.
In this case, with the strength of the three of them.
Before the pilgrims arrive, as long as they do not leave Lion Camel Ridge, they are absolutely free.
But now someone dares to kill Mountain Patrol Demon King of Lion Camel Ridge, which is simply a naked provocation.
"If you dare to kill me Mountain Patrol Demon King at Lion Camel Ridge, I want to see what kind of thing it is!"
Before he finished speaking, Green-maned Lion raised his hand, and a black wood token engraved with twisted runes appeared out of thin air.
It is the natal card Mountain Patrol Demon King that entrusts the soul.
The next moment, the wooden sign "clicked" and shattered in the air, and the scattered fragments turned into a turbid curtain of light.
A fragment of the demon king's memory before his death flashed rapidly in the light screen: a giant claw shot down, beating a human holding a pair of hammers to death.
Then, the perspective of the screen suddenly turned to the meteorite on the ground on one side.
At the moment when the picture focuses on the meteor crystal.
--Crack!
The meteor crystal suddenly cracked open!
Billions of dazzling rays of light burst out from it, swallowing up the turbid light curtain in an instant.
In the center of the endless light, a vague yet majestic figure stepped out.
The most heart-stopping thing is that the figure in the light and shadow seems to be able to penetrate the barriers of time and space.
The moment he appeared, he suddenly looked up.
He looked at the three demons outside the light curtain.
--Pfft!
As if being hit hard by an invisible heavy hammer on the soul, the bodies of Green-maned Lion, Yellow-tusked Old Elephant, and the Golden Peng Dapeng Diao were shaken, their faces turned pale, and they all let out a suppressed groan!
The demonic aura around them was churning violently uncontrollably, and the stone base made by Black Stone underneath them exploded under the impact from the soul level, and gravel and powder were sprayed everywhere!
