Origin Prohibition, Distortion

Are they more astute than expected?

Shen Heng looked at the Coiled Ox, not at all surprised, since he hadn't deliberately hidden it.

However, at the entrance...

She lowered her eyes slightly.

Is it the Light Gate that connects the Erosion Zone to the Ruins Realm?

From this perspective, the affected area of this spatial Distortion seems to be much larger than originally anticipated.

Although the Mountain of Truth is located in the Erosion Zone and is closer to the Light Gate connecting the Ruins Realm, if you draw a circle with the route in between as the radius, it would be enough to cover half of the Erosion Zone.

Moreover, this was only the first inquiry.

The chances of the first person you ask being Calamity Beast zone are really low.

and...

Shen Heng raised his gaze and looked at the Coiled Ox.

The Coiled Ox was still shouting in alarm and anger, its cries still primarily threatening.

Should we not try to escape? Or...?

His gaze moved slowly, then stopped after a moment.

Shen Heng looked at the muscles that were twitching slightly in response to the threatening voice.

Due to the physical barrier, even though there was a significant difference in their cultivation levels, he was unable to sense the specific flow of the Origin Power within the other party's body.

However, he could still vaguely sense that the other party was mobilizing Origin Power within their body.

Is someone preparing some kind of big move? Or perhaps...?

After a pause, Shen Heng seemed to have thought of something.

He looked up at the Coiled Ox in front of him, raised his hand, and several light orbs formed from Origin Power quickly took shape beside him.

The next moment.

"Whoosh--"

The light bullet flew forward.

The Coiled Ox, which had been speaking, suddenly stopped, its pupils slightly contracting.

Without hesitation, it immediately turned and ran away.

At the same time, he kept cursing.

"You wretched human!"

The roars echoed through the forest.

Shen Heng paid no attention, his figure hovering in mid-air.

In the field of vision, the Coiled Ox was fleeing rapidly below, and tree after tree fell as it crashed into it after weighing the pros and cons.

However, even though it was on the run, a closer look reveals that the Coiled Ox's speed sometimes increased and sometimes decreased.

"Is the influence of that force on the Origin Power greater than I thought?" Shen Heng gazed thoughtfully at the fleeing Coiled Ox below.

That power... well, let's call it the Origin Prohibition for now.

The effect of the Origin Prohibition seems to expand with the increase in the use of Origin Power; the more Origin Power is used, the greater the effect.

If we ultimately cannot suppress this impact...

After a moment's thought, Shen Heng's gaze returned to the Coiled Ox.

Beside him, light projectiles were flying out more and more frequently, and at an increasingly faster speed.

One after another, light bullets landed in the distance and beside them.

Limited by this, the Coiled Ox had to increase its speed once again.

However, as more and more Origin Power was mobilized, the discomfort became increasingly intense.

Gradually, its body began to tremble, and its speed uncontrollably decreased.

However, while its speed decreased, the speed of the light bullets behind it did not.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

One after another, light bullets landed on it.

The intense pain made it howl.

Finally, after being hit by another beam of light, the Coiled Ox stopped.

It turned around, its bloodshot eyes fixed on the human behind it.

"Roar--"

A furious roar rang out.

The Coiled Ox suddenly stomped its four limbs, and its body shot straight toward the human.

Has it reached the critical point?... Shen Heng stopped in mid-air, and the light bullet beside him, under the control of his mental power, traced a trajectory and fell towards the Coiled Ox.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several loud bangs followed in succession.

The Coiled Ox landed heavily on the ground, raising clouds of dust.

Without moving, Shen Heng stood in mid-air, watching.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

finally.

"Roar--"

A violent roar echoed through the smoke and dust.

Accompanying this violent roar was a crimson gaze that shone through the smoke and dust.

The next moment, a huge figure burst out of the smoke and dust.

Shen Heng stepped back, his gaze pausing slightly as he watched the approaching figure.

Its general shape is still the same as the previous Coiled Ox, but its specific appearance has changed a lot.

His body was covered in cracks, his muscles were much more prominent than before, and there were pieces of armor covering his muscles that seemed not to have fully solidified yet.

This is the Origin Power, out of control, Distortion...

Three words appeared in Shen Heng's mind in a row.

He had heard about it, and even witnessed it firsthand, but...

With a slight pause, Shen Heng watched the figure that kept growing larger in front of him.

The figure rapidly magnified before my eyes, magnified, and finally...

"Laugh--"

The long sword slashed down, and blood rained down from the sky.

Shen Heng stood in mid-air, his gaze unfocused as he looked down at the corpse that had fallen to the ground.

One related conclusion after another popped into his mind uncontrollably.

"If one cannot control the Origin Power within their body and allows the Origin Prohibition to have its effects, will the final result be Distortion?"

"So even Calamity Beast can Distortion?"

"The more Origin Power is used, the greater the impact of the Origin Prohibition will be; what about Origin Power consumption? If too much Origin Power is consumed, creating a deficiency within the body, will that also have an impact?"

"So, under the influence of the Origin Prohibition, the best approach is... not to use Origin Power?"

But no matter how you look at it, you know it's impossible.

"Therefore, all we can do is try to enhance our control over the Origin Power, thereby increasing the amount of Origin Power we can draw upon."

"From this perspective, humans seem to have an advantage over the Calamity Beast?"

"After all, in the Great Xia, the cultivation of Origin Power control is already a compulsory course. Although due to individual reasons, some people cultivate it more deeply and some less deeply, their control is still better than that of the Calamity Beast..."

"No, although the Calamity Beast can also Distortion, their long-term exposure to Origin Power Origin Power makes them far more resistant to it than humans! Therefore, it's impossible to determine which side will have the advantage, but even if one side does, it probably won't be that significant..."

"However, aside from Origin Power, there is another very important factor that affects specific combat strength."

"Physical fitness!"

"Compared to the Calamity Beast, humans are much weaker physically."

"Usually, this deficiency is compensated for by ability."

"However, due to the influence of the Origin Prohibition, their abilities have been greatly weakened!"

"In other words, under the influence of the Origin Prohibition, most of the Calamity Beast of the same rank would probably be stronger than humans!"

"Fortunately, the fact that the Calamity Beast are stronger under the same Origin Prohibition Restriction shouldn't give them too much of an advantage."

"After all, when you're about to die, who cares whether they can use Origin Power or not!"

"At that time, with the Origin Power being mobilized on a large scale, even if the Calamity Beast doesn't want to, it will be forced to mobilize even more Origin Power."

"The result was that both sides self-destructed!"

"And..."
