Chapter 224: Strange Domain Source
Next, Li Qing followed the same method and used the space in his palm to collect the strange creatures hidden in several dilapidated rooms in the courtyard .
Then I came to the gate of the courtyard and saw that it was bright outside. There were many blurry figures walking around, and I didn’t know if they were ghosts.
Li Qing thought for a moment, took out a steel golem from the space in his palm, and ordered it to walk out of the courtyard.
Just like before, the Iron Golem disappeared directly into the gray air.
But he waited there for a while, and the Iron Golem came back again. Li Qing checked it and found nothing abnormal.
Then two more heavy infantrymen were sent out, and they returned after a while, and nothing happened again.
Li Qing felt relieved and walked into the door with his subordinates.
The next second, my eyes lit up and a noisy sound appeared in my ears. When I could see again, I saw a circle of people who looked like beggars in front of me, looking at me with strange eyes.
He subconsciously prepared to take action, but he heard one of them laugh and say:
"Welcome newcomers to the Land of the Dead."
Li Qing paused and glanced at the people around him with a look of doubt and surprise.
At this time, the man waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, we are trapped in this strange place just like you."
At this time, another person said with a strange smile:
"It's been a while since we've had a new person here, welcome!"
Everyone welcomed him with a buzz of voices, some with normal expressions and some looking weird.
"Brother, we haven't had any newcomers here for a long time. Tell us about the situation on the plane battlefield."
At this time, Li Qing's mind was full of question marks and vigilance.
Although these people seemed normal, as if they had really been trapped in the strange territory before, he did not believe them.
Judging from the situation he encountered when he came in just now, he really didn't believe that these people who were also suppressed as ordinary people could persist here for so many years.
However, he looked alert, and these people acted as if they didn't see him. They asked him some questions enthusiastically, mostly about the situation outside. It looked like they had been trapped for many years.
Li Qing pondered for a moment, and began to answer their questions while remaining alert.
However, after he answered a few questions, he suddenly realized something was wrong, because after answering each question, he found that he had not remembered the question he had just been asked.
This is the answer I gave before, but I am actually losing these memories.
He decisively shut his mouth, turned around and walked back to the courtyard.
However, this time the barrier at the entrance of the courtyard disappeared, and a group of people rushed in, asking questions one after another.
Li Qing ordered without hesitation:
"kill!"
The tall iron golem swept across with a sword, cutting a group of people in half, and bright red blood spurted out.
Li Qing raised his hand in surprise, pinched the sticky blood that flew onto his hand, then looked at the many people who had no reaction to the killing. Even the few people who were cut in half looked at him expectantly as if they had no feeling and waved to him.
An inexplicable chill came over my heart.
Li Qing quickly opened the space in his palm, and pulled out several steel golems and more elite troops to kill these... weird creatures that looked like living humans but were definitely not human.
They were quickly dismembered by their subordinates, leaving the ground covered with body parts and blood, but the remaining bodies still asked him questions without any feeling, and moved towards him while dragging blood on the ground.
Li Qing's brows were filled with murderous intent, and he was about to open the space in his palm to take them all away for refining.
But he felt the sky darken. He subconsciously looked up and saw that the sky darkened rapidly. A spot of black surged in from afar, submerging the sky and the earth like sticky ink.
Then many strange creatures seemed to sense something and shouted:
"Hurry, the leader of the strange domain is coming, find a house to hide."
One of them even said to Li Qing:
"Hide quickly, too. Don't worry. It will be over in less than an hour."
As they spoke, pieces of corpses began to wriggle outwards, with some of them rushing into other rooms beside the courtyard, leaving trails of blood all over the ground.
The sky quickly darkened. Li Qing felt the warning signs becoming stronger and stronger. He ordered his subordinates to retreat to the room he had just entered. Then he put away several steel golems and left only one guarding the door.
Soon it became completely dark, and the sticky ink submerged everything. The area outside the doorway returned to its original appearance, with nothing visible in the darkness.
But what was strange was that there was no door in the room, but the black liquid did not come in.
Almost in an instant, Li Qing lost contact with the iron golem outside the door.
He wanted to go out and take a look, but after thinking it over, he held back and decided to wait an hour before going out.
An hour passed quickly, and when the time was up, he ordered a heavy infantryman to go out and told him to return immediately.
Soon the soldier went out and came back, and Li Qing followed him out.
There was nothing outside the door. The shadow of the iron golem that had been guarding the door was gone, and the blood and flesh on the ground were gone too, as if nothing had happened before.
He frowned and looked at the other small houses in the courtyard, but saw someone rushing out of one of the houses and shouting:
"Brothers, it's over, come out now!"
Then a man rushed out from a door on the left and laughed:
"I'm not dead, I'm still alive."
"Where are the other brothers?"
However, no one responded, and the other rooms were completely dark.
Several people immediately paused, looking disappointed:
"The other brothers didn't make it. They were assimilated."
Li Qing looked at them silently without any reaction.
He clearly remembered cutting them into pieces before, but now they have become normal again, with their bodies intact. He even seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, as if nothing had happened. He said to Li Qing:
"You've seen it all. This is how it is in this strange domain. Every once in a while, the master of the strange domain will come out to hunt. If you hide in time, you can escape. If you don't hide, all your memories and souls will be taken away, and you will be turned into the minions of the master of the strange domain."
He suddenly pointed at himself and said:
"Although I have forgotten what happened an hour ago, I can tell from your alert expression that you might have discovered something. I feel like I can't go back. If possible, give me a quick death and kill me completely."
"But I don't think that's possible. It's more likely that you will be trapped in this strange domain with us until you are completely assimilated and become a part of it."
Having said this he suddenly burst into laughter, turned around, rushed out the door and disappeared.
At this time, Li Qing basically understood who these people were.
If I'm not mistaken, they are all people who were once lost in this strange domain. The Lord of the strange domain harvests them every once in a while. Those who fail will have their souls and all their memories harvested and turned into strange creatures, while those who survive will gradually transform into strange creatures themselves.
As long as he can't escape, the final result can only be to be transformed into a monster, it's just a matter of time.
When he arrived at the small houses, it was pitch dark inside.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the exit of the space in his palm opened and blocked the door. A strong suction came from it, forcibly drawing out the dark and sticky liquid.
Repeat the same procedure and use the same method to devour and refine the strange creatures in the other two rooms.
Next, a dozen iron golems and hundreds of soldiers were dispatched to walk out of the courtyard. Another group of people gathered on the street outside and repeated what they said at the beginning, as if what happened an hour ago had never happened.
Li Qing sighed lightly, waved his hand, and the troops began to kill crazily.
The space channel in the palm of his hand opened, allowing the soldiers to forcibly grab them and throw them in.
Before being completely assimilated into monsters, they were just like ordinary people, except that they possessed the ability to be immortal.
Next, Li Qing continued to send out troops to search for all moving things in the city. Houses were destroyed, and many strange creatures hidden in the houses were lured in and forcibly devoured.
His huge movement attracted the attention of a large number of strange creatures in the depths of the strange domain, and soon a large number of strange creatures poured out from the depths of the strange domain.
From afar, it looked like a dark, sticky liquid tide rolling in.
Li Qing quickly called back his subordinates, opened the door of space in his palm as wide as possible, and stood in the center of his palm.
The dark tide hit the door of the black hole heavily and quickly poured into it with the force of gravity.
Being in the channel of the palm space, affected by the power of the palm space, most of the suppression and prohibition effects imposed on Li Qing by the strange domain became ineffective, and he immediately recovered some of his strength.
An absolute space force field protected himself as he watched the sticky black liquid rolling into the space in his palm, and then being quickly decomposed and refined into fragments of laws.
“Buzz!”
As a large amount of viscous liquid was swallowed up, the entire space where the strange domain was located began to vibrate, and then the inner city of the strange domain began to vibrate and twist violently. The world began to be destroyed and gradually turned black.
In just a short while, everything in the strange domain disappeared, replaced by endless rolling black liquid.
A will that could not be described in words slowly descended upon him. Li Qing only sensed it for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment.
He was distracted for a moment, and when he came to his senses he felt a sharp pain in his right hand. He discovered that his right hand had been plunged into the black liquid and had completely rotted away. The black liquid was extending along the rotten broken hand towards his shoulder.
Li Qing chopped off the severed hand at the shoulder with a palm knife without hesitation. The stump quickly turned into a ball of black liquid and sank into the surrounding rolling torrent.
He then quickly cast a series of spells to strengthen his soul and will, and then added a layer of time turbulence around himself.
Next, the indescribable will continued to impact his will, and the dark liquid continued to impact the space in his palm. Li Qing, who was prepared, remained clear-headed.
As time passed, the terrifying will gradually began to weaken, the surging black liquid slowly became less, and at the same time Li Qing could feel his strength slowly recovering.
He knew that this was the beginning of the collapse of the strange domain, and the suppression on itself was slowly weakening.
Until one moment, the indescribable suppression suddenly disappeared completely, and Li Qing realized that the strange domain had completely collapsed.
When the last trace of black liquid disappeared, he walked out of the black hole gate and found that the sun was shining brightly in the sky. He had left the strange domain and returned to the plane.
The huge black hole embedded in the wasteland under my feet has disappeared.
"Does this count as completely breaking through a strange domain?"
Li Qing closed the space in his palm. At this time, the central position was filled with a large amount of black liquid, bound by a layer of invisible space.
Outside, it can even trap a true God to death, but in the space in its palm, it is just a dish for him to deal with at will.
Li Qing raised his head and looked around, then disappeared in a flash.
"Find a place to refine it first!"
He was somewhat impatient to see what this mysterious source substance that was worth a high-level divine grace was and what it could be used for.
He came to a barren mountain and found a cave and crawled into it.
He opened the space in his palm and began to decompose and refine the Lord of the Strange Domain who was trapped inside.
It is no different from decomposing other things, except that the decomposition and refining speed is slightly slower, but it can still be decomposed and refined.
As time passed, it took Li Qing four and a half days to completely refine the countless black liquids, and finally refined a large ball of starlight and a constantly flickering stream of light.
The starlight is made up of countless fragments of laws, and that flickering stream of light...
It is a mixture of a large piece of law fragment and a crystal wall source sea fragment.
There is no need to talk about the fragments of the laws. Li Qing understands this. This piece is just larger and more complete, but it is definitely not worth a high-level divine grace.
And this crystal wall source sea fragment...
Let's put it this way, whether it is the plane source sea or the crystal wall system source sea, it is the gathering place of the wisdom and memory of countless creatures in the billions of years since the birth of the entire crystal wall system. It is the origin core of the entire crystal wall system and the embodiment of the underlying laws.
At the moment when any true god is deified, his soul will have the opportunity to contact the Source Sea, thereby obtaining the infinite wisdom accumulated throughout the history of the entire Crystal Wall System, as well as close contact with the underlying laws of the Crystal Wall System, allowing the true god to transcend everything.
But what the true gods obtained when they were canonized was only wisdom and knowledge of laws. It was absolutely impossible for them to obtain fragments of the Crystal Wall System Source Sea like they do now.
What this thing represents...
It’s hard to say about Li Qing now, but it is definitely beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
Even for ordinary people, this thing is useless. It is only useful for those above the legendary level, and it is most effective for true gods.
It also has a huge effect on the Eternal Tree, because it allows the Eternal Tree to directly obtain a part of the infinite wisdom and infinite creatures accumulated by this crystal wall system for billions of years, including the memories of the true gods.
This thing is also of great use to Li Qing.
If he could refine this thing, the vast amount of knowledge and wisdom he would gain would increase his understanding of the rules by who knows how many times, greatly improving his own strength.
Without thinking, Li Qing took it out and started refining it.
The first step is to refine these fragments of laws, but this time they are mainly used to strengthen the laws of space.
The fragments of laws obtained by devouring and refining in one strange domain almost caught up with the total number of law fragments he had accumulated in the previous decades. After completely refining them in one breath, his mastery of the laws of space increased from 1.01% to 1.47%, less than 1%.
If it is replaced with the enhanced prophecy law, it is estimated that it can be improved by about 15% at once.
This is the difference between different laws, one is just a median law, and the other is one of the supreme laws.
This is still in the early stages. When the laws are mastered to a certain level, so many law fragments may not even increase by 0.1%.
After refining these fragments, Li Qing took out the stream of light that was fused with the fragments of the Source Sea and fused and refined it without hesitation.
