Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 382: Infinite Calamity
Lin Qianxing's real body sat high in the infinite sky, and his projections and incarnations kept making moves in the lower world, spreading out like stars.
According to common sense, in each infinite kalpa, there will not be more than 100,000 people who will be affected by the kalpa.
This is because the world is so huge.
In an ordinary small world, it would be difficult to give birth to a person who would be worthy of the calamity under the disaster.
There are at most dozens of people who are destined to suffer the calamity in the universe.
After all, the source is limited, and no matter how rich you are, you can't afford to create it like that.
But according to the division of the worlds of the heavens, this world should belong to the boundless real world.
The so-called boundless true world is a top-level world with certain infinite properties.
It is expanding every moment, expanding exponentially, absorbing endless chaotic energy.
Only such a world is qualified to give birth to tens of thousands of people who will respond to the disaster when facing a catastrophe.
Of course, even for those who are destined to suffer calamity, the upper limits in different worlds are also different.
Just like the world in the game "Metamorphosis of Divine Beasts" that Lin Qianxing had experienced, when he faced the calamity, his peak level was at the level of an overwhelming sea.
Converted to this world, it is only the fifth level of cultivation.
Those who are to be afflicted in this world must reach the eleventh level.
To put it in perspective, only the ultimate supreme being at the billions of levels in Lin Qianxing's main world can be compared to it.
However, the disasters faced by the two are also different.
The Great Evolution Catastrophe is just a metabolism and natural cycle of the world itself.
But infinite kalpas are another concept.
This is a huge catastrophe that directly affects the entire Infinite Realm.
It is both a disaster and an opportunity.
In the infinite kalpas, countless fruits of the Tao will be born.
Or is it that this infinite fruit of the Tao has brought about infinite calamities?
Time is merciless. Lin Qianxing has been practicing in the Infinite Heaven for an unknown period of time. Suddenly one day, he sensed the emergence of the Infinite Calamity.
There was no sign of anything, it appeared in an instant.
In the boundless sky, a ray of light suddenly appeared, and then it quickly fell into the nine heavens of the lower realm.
The infinite kalpas...begin now.
The river that was flowing through that spiritual light, the water that was supposed to flow downstream, changed direction and flowed upstream.
It passed through a million-year-old tree, and the tree began to grow in reverse, transforming into the form of a seed in an instant.
It collided with a spiritual sword that had been nurtured for a long time, and it turned into ore in an instant, and the spirituality on it also collapsed into infinite primordial particles.
This bit of spiritual light took less than three moments to travel through the nine heavens except the Infinite Heaven.
The rules of the entire world began to become chaotic, infinite matter began to rotate in the opposite direction, time and space were also constantly flowing backwards, and living beings whose cultivation had not reached the fourth level were transformed into infinite particles and dissipated in an instant.
The fourth-level creature who mastered the rules only lasted a few breaths longer than them.
Soon, the billions of creatures below the ninth level disintegrated into infinite particles.
In the Infinite Heaven, Jun said to Lin Qianxing: "Due to the different natures of the Dao Fruit, each Infinite Calamity is different. I remember that in the Infinite Calamity I experienced, all things were affected by the balanced Dao Fruit, either increasing or decreasing, and the world was in chaos..."
Lin Qianxing pondered in his heart, if he used his own [Hengwo] plug-in, under the infinite calamity, wouldn't everything be immortal and indestructible, and time would gradually stagnate?
After thinking for a while, Lin Qianxing continued to look towards the lower world.
…
Inside the Biyue Palace.
The mysterious light of infinite blessing enveloped the entire Biyue Palace. The infinite calamity did not affect this place, but the outside world had gradually returned to chaos.
Guan Shi was trying to find a possibility, but he failed.
The rust continued to surface on him, but in the end he never got an answer.
In this situation, the destiny has been disrupted and there is no longer any possibility.
"Ancestor, countless lives are suffering outside the Biyue Palace. Can we just watch?" Du Ji asked Guan Shi.
He closed his eyes and watched the situation, remaining silent.
There is no place to stay in the Biyue Palace at this moment, and it is crowded with living beings seeking refuge from the disaster.
Who can withstand the power of infinite kalpas except the infinite venerables?
When Du Ji saw this, he understood the idea of watching the situation.
He looked into the distance, seeing countless lives suffering, and a sense of responsibility suddenly arose in his heart.
Du Ji suddenly had the idea of stopping the catastrophe.
"Since I am the one who is destined to be calamity, I should not hide in this Biyue Palace to avoid it." Du Ji said with a firm look.
He moved and suddenly turned into a beam of light, escaping from the protection of Biyue Palace.
Being in the outside world, he only felt that his own spiritual power was fading rapidly, and perhaps it would not be long before he would die.
But he still had no intention of returning. A spiritual hammer appeared in his hand and he chased after the spiritual light.
Wherever there were living beings in distress along the way, Du Ji would use up his own spiritual power and build a shelter with a single hammer to protect the billions of lives within.
Although the shelter couldn't last long, it was better than dying instantly.
Outside Xuanyi Gate.
Hong Lin revealed his true form and transformed into the eleventh-rank [God of Covering the Sea]. He was an innate divine being that roamed in the chaos, and his body was so huge that it was comparable to thousands of suns.
His majestic body travels through the countercurrent of time and space and the world that has returned to chaos, and behind him are the countless lives he has saved.
At this moment, He was carrying these lives towards Xuanyi Sect, allowing them to survive the catastrophe.
On the other side, Wen Zhen and Yuan Xin were also constantly rescuing lives lost in the catastrophe.
They would never even think about obtaining the Dao Fruit; touching that thing would almost certainly lead to death.
Therefore, even though they were tricked by Lin Qianxing and became the ones who were destined to suffer the disaster, they only had the thought of saving people, but not the intention of obtaining the fruit of the Tao.
However, even though Yuan Xin and the others had no ideas, it did not mean that the other people who were to be robbed had no ideas.
One of the chess pieces placed by Lin Qianxing was now rapidly approaching the spiritual light that was flowing against the flow of time and space.
This person is Zhuang Ji.
With the blessing of the great fortune of the one who was to face the calamity, he reached the eleventh level in less than 100 million years.
This speed of cultivation is quite terrifying even in the whole world.
You know, the lifespan of cultivators above level nine is easily hundreds of billions of years. For them, 100 million years is just a matter of sleeping.
This shows how fast his practice was.
As Zhuang Ji chased after the spiritual light, the space and time around him was constantly changing. The closer he got to the spiritual light, the less his own spiritual power would be reduced.
Or rather, it has reversed somewhat.
But Zhuang Ji also saw another possibility.
This aura that reverses everything is not entirely a negative effect.
He quickly consumed his own energy, and then allowed the rules of the spiritual light to produce some effect on him.
Then the energy he consumed was actually returned again.
In this way, he can reduce a lot of consumption. He only needs to use his own strength to offset the rules such as speed and distance that were reversed by the spiritual light.
Thus, among those who were chasing the spiritual light, Zhuang Ji was the first to encounter this spiritual light.
In just a moment, the power from the Infinite Net on Zhuang Ji's body dissipated, and his Taoist duty returned to its original state. The next moment, the spiritual light acted on his body.
Wow!
Zhuang Ji disappeared.
His existence was reversed to an unknown time in the past and directly returned to the original energy particles.
Upon seeing this scene, the expressions of the other calamity seekers who were chasing the spiritual light changed drastically.
No one could have imagined that Zhuang Ji couldn't even resist for a moment.
However, his death seemed to have made the other people who were destined to be robbed guess something.
They began to speed up and approach the spiritual light.
Soon, the second person who was doomed to die died.
Then comes the third one.
…
The deaths of one calamity after another caused some of them to back off.
Everyone knows that if they meet the calamity, they will have the opportunity to become the new Wuliang Venerable, but the consequences of failure are not something they can afford.
Who stipulates that if you enjoy the blessings of heaven and earth's luck, you must really face the calamity?
There is no mandatory requirement.
With their current strength, they only need to find a force with infinite support to hide in. When this infinite calamity is over, they will be the strongest except for the Infinite Lord. Why bother fighting here?
As for the casualties of all living beings?
For countless kalpas, all living beings suffer.
Who can we blame for their limited abilities?
Therefore, with this mentality, some of the people who were to be robbed chose to withdraw and seek refuge from forces with infinite blessings.
No one would blame them.
It is not certain that one can survive the infinite kalpas.
There are also times of failure.
The consequence of failure is that except for the Infinite Heaven, the other nine heavens are all affected by the rules of the catastrophe, and all places except for those with infinite blessings will return to chaos.
After countless more years, the heaven and earth will evolve again, and all living things will reappear.
Everything is just a new cycle.
Some people ran away halfway, while others naturally took the lead.
Among the chess pieces selected by Lin Qianxing, there are many such people who are destined to be robbed.
Soon, Lin Qianxing saw Guan Yusheng approaching the spiritual light.
He was originally a person who was afraid of death, but now, for some reason, he had the desire to sacrifice himself for all living beings.
Wow!
Guan Yusheng is gone.
Then came Yu Ya, Yu Jun, Wang Chou... and many strangers who were enlightened by Lin Qianxing.
Without exception, they all quickly dissipated in that bit of spiritual light.
The long river of time and space is rapidly reversing, and the earth, water, fire and wind are all flowing backwards.
If you want to truly obtain the fruit of the Tao, you must understand its essence.
Everything it shows is telling you what truth it contains.
The deaths of those who were destined to suffer the calamity finally revealed some of its true nature.
"It's a reversal!" Mu Cheng's eyes flashed with a gleam, confirming his guess.
Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed that bit of inspiration in the long river of time and space.
Wow!
Mu Cheng's figure froze for a moment, and then turned into the origin.
This meant that he understood some of it, but not completely.
The next moment, Deng Chen pushed forward.
The path he took was Lin Qianxing's [Hengwo] path.
After reaching the eleventh level, he already had a preliminary grasp of the essence of immortality and indestructibility.
He may not be the most eye-catching one in the catastrophe , but he is definitely the best at surviving.
After he touched the spiritual light, it lasted for a breath and then returned to its origin.
After Deng Chen, Du Ji also caught the inspiration.
He lasted a little longer, and then he seemed to understand something, but in the end he returned to the origin.
In the Boundless Sky, Lin Qianxing watched the chess pieces he had cultivated return to their origin, and the answer in his mind became clearer and clearer.
Finally, he stretched out his hand from the infinite sky and grabbed that bit of spiritual light.
