Heavenly Thought and Agony

In the blink of an eye.

More than half the Desolate Domain was enveloped!

That irresistible, incomparably terrifying devouring force erupted, beginning to frenziedly devour the breath of origin and breath of nirvana permeating heaven and earth!

High in the sky, Jun Wudao stood with his hands behind his back, his three thousand silver strands swaying gently, like a supreme demon god standing there.

"Ding! Absorption complete!"

"Ding! Beginning conversion!"

"Ding! Conversion complete!"

"Ding! Converted into three million Origin Points and thirty thousand Annihilation Points!"

As the pitch-black devouring vortex swallowed the terrifying black hole, the system's mechanical electronic notifications also rang out in Jun Wudao's mind.

"Three million Origin Points, thirty thousand Annihilation Points? Quite a rich harvest, if a little frightening!"

Hearing the system's notifications, Jun Wudao glanced over the surrounding ruins below, tossed aside the head in his hand, and vanished into the void with a flicker.

Now, far too many doubts and questions filled his mind, waiting for the system to answer. Whether it was the heavenly might that had suddenly descended or that utterly mysterious voice, both were unknown to him!

Boom!

A heaven-shaking roar rang out.

The Nine Nether Rebirth Boat pierced through space, entered an alternate dimension, and disappeared from this stretch of heaven and earth.

Within the alternate dimension, the Nine Nether Rebirth Boat sped along like a dark nether dragon at an indescribable speed.

Endless chaotic spatial currents poured away to either side, like stars clustering around the moon.

Hum, hum, hum...

The Nine Nether Rebirth Boat swiftly traversed the dimension.

Nine Nether Hall.

"System! What was that heavenly might that suddenly descended? Was it heavenly punishment or heavenly condemnation?"

"Or something else?"

"And what was that voice? Did you act?"

Sitting upright on the demonic dragon throne, Jun Wudao directly voiced all the doubts and questions in his heart.

"Ding! It was Heavenly Thought. When Master revealed your true self blood Qi, this world's heavenly rules were descending with a lightning tribulation. Thus, they sensed you, drawing down the will of heaven!"

The system's mechanical electronic voice rang out in Jun Wudao's mind!

Heavenly Thought?

Hearing this, Jun Wudao gained some understanding. Heavenly Thought-as the name suggests, did it mean heaven's thoughts?

Heaven!

Truly worthy of being heaven!

Beneath that vast, terrifying heavenly might, he had felt so insignificant that he was less than an ant, faced with something impossible to resist, block, or fight!

Even now, recalling it made his soul tremble, his hair stand on end, his heart palpitate, and left him feeling insignificant!

"So that old fellow was undergoing his tribulation just as the heavenly rules descended. No wonder there was no reaction during my earlier transformation, only for it to suddenly appear now!"

Jun Wudao nodded thoughtfully and murmured.

"Ding! Correct. The reason heaven did not perceive Master's earlier transformation was that Master had already died within heaven and earth. In addition, with the system's existence, heaven cannot divine, know, or perceive you, and there is also the fact that you were within the forbidden zone!"

The system's mechanical electronic voice sounded again.

"So that's how it was."

Hearing this, Jun Wudao nodded thoughtfully, then asked again inwardly:

"What about that voice?"

"Were you the one who acted just now?"

"Ding! No. It was the supreme existence on the tenth floor!"

The system replied.

"The supreme existence on the tenth floor acted? Isn't that existence still sealed?"

Hearing what the system said, Jun Wudao froze, utterly shocked. He had only unsealed the first floor so far!

And now...

The existence on the tenth floor had already shown up?

Shock!

Boundless shock!

In that case, whom would he have to fear from now on?

Above heaven and below earth, throughout the myriad heavens and worlds, the nine heavens and ten lands, the vast primordial universe-wouldn't he be able to swagger wherever he pleased?

Wait!

With his current paltry strength, would an existence like that listen to him? Hard to say! He dared not imagine it!

"Ding! This exceeds the limits of what Master can currently know. Once Master unseals the figures on the fifth floor, you will naturally understand!"

The system's mechanical electronic voice rang out in Jun Wudao's mind again.

"After the fifth floor?"

Hearing this, a gleam surfaced in Jun Wudao's dark eyes. Then he stopped asking.

His strength was still so meager. Even knowing would do him no good!

"System, bring up my personal panel!"

He stopped dwelling on it. Increasing his strength was his foremost priority now. Once he was strong enough, he would naturally learn whatever he wanted to know!

The vastness of this world, the sights beyond heaven-he believed it would not be long before he could experience them!

The instant Jun Wudao's thought settled in his mind, that familiar pale-blue screen appeared before his eyes again.

Personal panel

Annihilation Points: Thirty thousand.

"Heh!"

"Increasing my strength through slaughter really is fast. Now I can make another huge leap. No wonder everyone says the demonic path raises your strength quickly. It really does feel good!"

"System! Spend all my Origin Points and Annihilation Points to improve the True Self Eternal Forbidden Canon and the Heaven-Battling Forbidden Canon!"

Jun Wudao smiled faintly, then began giving the system instructions inwardly.

Now that he had Origin Points and Annihilation Points, he naturally had to use them to improve his cultivation realm and strength!

A life with cheats!

Defined by one word alone: "satisfying"!

"Ding! Consuming three million Origin Points!"

"Ding! Consuming thirty thousand Annihilation Points!"

"Ding! Beginning improvement of the True Self Eternal Forbidden Canon!"

"Ding! Beginning improvement of the Heaven-Battling Forbidden Canon!"

As his words fell, the system's string of mechanical electronic notifications rang out in Jun Wudao's mind again.

Hum!

At the same time, that familiar, boundless, irresistible mysterious force appeared inside him again and erupted. Even the slightest fluctuation exuded an unfathomably terrifying presence! It seemed to transcend time and space, transcend eternity, transcend everything!

An indescribable agony crashed over him-the experience of being flayed and torn, the experience of destruction, the experience of burning, that pain, that despair, that feeling of approaching death!

"Aaaah..."

Jun Wudao screamed wretchedly, his entire body convulsing wildly, trembling wildly. There was no other reason-the process was simply too difficult to endure!

Pain!

Boundless pain!

Torment like hell itself!

His sinews, bones, and skin were ceaselessly flayed, ceaselessly burned, ceaselessly destroyed, as though a vicious blade from the hells of Nine Nether were slaughtering all living things, destroying the myriad heavens, burning everything, and severing karma!

Wretched howls! Cries of pain!

Convulsing! Trembling!

Gritting his teeth! Enduring!

Overwhelming agony, the brink of death, like an indescribable, immense crisis and terror!

"Aah..."

It was filled!

With heart-shuddering, wretched howls!
