At that moment, Never-Ending Zi perished!
At that moment, the Never-Ending Clan's Heavenly Dao collapsed!
At that moment, all the Never-Ending Clan members in this universe trembled. It was as if an invisible aura had dissipated from their bodies.
Never-Ending Zi was the Laozu of the entire Never-Ending Clan. It could even be said that the Never-Ending Clan only existed because of him!
And the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao was also created by him. To a certain extent, it was both a tool and a divine weapon. Hence, his death shook the hearts of all the Never-Ending Clan members. And the collapse of the Heavenly Dao also destroyed all the providence that had blessed the Never-Ending Clan members.
It caused the Never-Ending Clan to fall from their divine altar and become mere mortals!
As for Kiga, at the moment of Never-Ending Zi's death, he, who was only left with his divine spirit, also trembled. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but it was too late. His divine spirit directly turned into dust and dissipated into the universe.
The Never-Ending Clan was no longer the same as before!
At that moment, as the countless nomological threads formed by the collapse of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao entered the entrance, Chen Qing's hair instantly fluttered. A shocking aura erupted from his body, and a suppression even more terrifying than Never-Ending Zi's descended on the entire universe in an instant.
His suppression seemed to transform into invisible waves that swept in all directions, covering what used to be the Never-Ending Central Zone, covering the Heretical Path, covering the Heretical Path, covering all the sects and families, covering all the stars and nothingness, and covering the entire … Stone Tablet Realm!
The Stone Tablet Realm seemed to have returned to the time when it was ruled by the Dark Sect. From this moment on, all the nomological laws were ruled by the Dark Sect, and the Dark Sect was the master of all!
Although the cultivation of all living beings didn't change much, fundamentally … in such an environment, they had to change. If they didn't take the initiative to change, their Dao foundation would be shaken.
The aura of death instantly filled the Stone Tablet Realm. From this moment on, the right to reincarnation also returned to the Dark Sect. It seemed that from now on, the matter of ferrying the souls of the dead in the universe would reappear in the Stone Tablet Realm.
Even though the Seven Spirits Sect Patriarch's body was trembling, as he was the one assisting in the battle, he had clearly received the additional blessing of the Dark Sect's destiny. His legs, which had originally been missing, instantly grew back as the Dark Qi gushed in. Even his cultivation base suddenly erupted, leaping from the peak of the mid-stage Universe Grade to the late-stage Universe Grade!
In terms of level, he was on the same level as Laozu of the Xie Family!
There was also Xuan Hua. Although he was from the Never-Ending Clan, he was also supported by the Dark Qi at this moment. While his injuries healed instantly, his cultivation also increased. Only Di Shan and Light, whose auras were originally weak, were now even weaker. They didn't even have the strength to resist and were forcibly transformed by the eruption of Dark Qi.
However, apart from Chen Qing, Wang Baole was the one who benefited the most from the advancement. When the entire Stone Tablet Realm was filled with Dark Qi, all the nomological laws that Wang Baole cultivated in his body that were related to the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao suddenly collapsed. At the same time, the nomological laws of the Wood Dao, Water Dao, Metal Dao, Fire Dao, and Earth Dao were directly extracted from the nomological threads formed by the collapse of the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao and given to Wang Baole.
The Five-Elemental nomological laws were the authority of the Heavenly Dao. After the fusion, Wang Baole's Wood Dao and Water Dao suddenly erupted like never before. Previously, he had only controlled the Wood Dao and Water Dao in the Left Dao Sacred Region. Now that he had the entire Stone Tablet Realm, the explosive increase in power was naturally astonishing.
As for the other three Dao, although Wang Baole hadn't formed a Dao Seed, his authority had already been obtained. This was equivalent to him obtaining authority first. As for qualifications, it would naturally be easier for him to make up for them later.
It could be said that the process of forming Dao Seeds in these three Dao Seeds would be much smoother than before.
It was as if he had stepped onto a chariot that would lead to an infinite land. As for the ticket … he would just have to make up for it later.
The eruption brought about by all this immediately caused Wang Baole's cultivation to soar to the peak of the mid-stage Celestial Domain Grade. The Dark Fire on his body also spread instantly, forming a shocking blaze that spread in all directions. Even Seven Spirits Dao Laozu, who was beside him, was moved. Even though he was a late-stage Universe-Grade, he was still frightened by the Dark Fire and hurriedly avoided it.
It was as if this Dark Fire was the supreme technique within the Stone Tablet Boundary.
However, compared to them, Chen Qing's cultivation was the one that had truly soared to the extreme. He had devoured the Never-Ending Clan's Heavenly Dao and all nomological laws except for the Five Elements, causing the Dark Sect's Heavenly Dao to reach the extreme in an instant.
Even without the Five Elements, it was still the extreme!
Moreover, as this extreme covered the entire Stone Tablet Boundary, Chen Qing, who had fused with the Heavenly Dao, or rather, was the Heavenly Dao himself, emitted an aura that could topple mountains and overturn seas.
His cultivation had already reached an astonishing level. At this moment, just his aura alone caused the starry sky to tremble. His cultivation instantly rose from the peak of the Universe Grade, and it seemed like he was about to break through!
An earth-shattering boom that sounded like a heartbeat echoed from Chen Qing's body and reverberated in the minds of all living beings, causing their hearts to tremble violently.
It was as if some kind of power that exceeded the Stone Tablet Boundary was about to be born from Chen Qing at this moment!
However, it was obvious that this kind of breakthrough wasn't easy. After this heart-like boom reverberated, Chen Qing's aura churned violently, causing the Stone Tablet Boundary to rumble. However, it didn't increase significantly.
A dark light flashed in Chen Qing's eyes. He could sense that although his previous attempts had failed, it was because he hadn't accumulated enough power to break through the shackles. As long as he completely absorbed the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao that he had devoured, breaking through the shackles wouldn't be difficult.
"What … comes after the Universe Grade?" Chen Qing muttered to himself. He didn't immediately try again. Instead, he turned to look at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole was also shaken by the heart-like boom. At this moment, he met Chen Qing's gaze.
In silence, Wang Baole lowered his head and bowed to Chen Qing. He didn't speak, and neither did Chen Qing. However, deep in the dark light in his eyes, there was a hint of gentleness, and he sighed softly in his heart.
"Little Junior Brother … I've killed my entire life. I've done many things that I don't know right from wrong.
"I've lived a life of slaughter and regret. I'm very tired …
"I know that the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao's goal is nothing more than to borrow my body. Whether it's possession or some other plan, it doesn't matter …
"That's because I also want to use him to see what my Dao is …."
"At the same time … the Dark Sect's mission is also something that I have to do. I haven't forgotten what Master said before he died.
"I also know your identity and origins. Since you're destined to leave … then I'll use my own method to seal away all the powers that prevent you from leaving. That way … we won't be brothers in vain.
"I don't know if I can do it, but even if I fail in the end, I think … I'll leave you with a chance to leave this place in the future.
"You provoked the Never-Ending Clan so that I could see the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao's battle prowess. Then … I'll also let you see … what dangers and obstacles exist outside the realm of the stone tablet.
"Perhaps … this is an eternal farewell," Chen Qing muttered to himself. These words echoed in Chen Qing's heart. He didn't say them out loud. They only echoed in his heart. As he watched Wang Baole bow to him, a smile appeared on his face.
This smile contained no regrets and obsession. He turned his head and stared into the depths of the starry sky. Then, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the starry sky. He did his best to digest the Never-Ending Heavenly Dao that he had devoured.
"When I've completely digested it, it will be the day that I, Chen Qing … will break through the realm and seek my Dao!"
