I picked up the scattered attributes

"Is this the power of annihilation?"

Feng Xia frowned and repeatedly activated the Creation Mystic Art to transform his physical body.

After more than ten times, that strange feeling of discomfort gradually disappeared.

However, Feng Xia still noticed that even though his physical body had returned to normal, there was still a building in the once magnificent Dao Court that was now decaying, with pits and broken bricks everywhere!

The Taoist temple is composed of various major paths, and each building represents a different major path.

Feng Xia's gaze shone brightly, revealing the original form of this building.

It was a dilapidated road, full of cracks and scars. If it were any other cultivator, with their only path of cultivation corroded to this extent, they would not be far from death and the annihilation of their cultivation.

"If one follows the ordinary cultivation system, there is no way to resist the calamity of destruction."

Feng Xia carefully sensed the great road, his expression solemn.

Like the hole in the fingertip, this avenue was permanently altered by the power of destruction.

A part of it is gone forever. Even if the injury is healed, the lost part will not come back unless one spends a lot of effort to cultivate again.

The Dao Court shone brightly, and countless rays of light surged forth, quickly healing the wounds on this great road.

“I have long since transcended the conventional cultivation system, but it still requires several times, even dozens of times, more effort to mobilize other Great Daos within the Dao Court in order to repair the damaged Great Dao…”

Feng Xia shook his head, not feeling happy about it.

You must know that it was just a trace of destructive power, yet it made him exert so much effort. If it were like the other universe, where the entire world was plunged into annihilation and destruction, would he be able to remain unscathed?

“If it were an ordinary cultivator… even a Primordial God…”

The innate gods are born from the Great Dao.

However, under the cataclysmic destruction, heaven and earth collapsed, and all things decayed.

At that time, even the primordial gods will die!

"Our universe is still very young, so where does this strange destructive force come from?"

The ship remained anchored in the vicinity for several days.

Li Qingmu ordered his men to disembark and investigate, but they did not find much useful information.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would hardly have believed that a star had once existed in the sky ahead!

"What's going on?"

The ship set sail once again, but Li Qingmu seemed somewhat lost and dejected.

That scene had a tremendous impact on him!

"Where did that destructive power come from?"

Li Qingmu has always been proud of his status as a descendant of the Li family, but what he is truly proud of is his own powerful talent in cultivation.

At his age, he is definitely considered young among cultivators, even juvenile.

But he was already a supreme god, and was even preparing to break through to the level of a god-king!

If he hadn't encountered the great battle between Feng Xia and the Demon Dragon Emperor, which consumed the pills he originally intended to use to break through his cultivation level, he might have already successfully advanced to the God Lord realm by now.

However, at this moment, Li Qingmu's confidence suffered an unprecedented blow.

"Even if I break through to the God Lord realm... I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

He found that no matter how hard he tried to deduce, he could not find a way to deal with that kind of power!

Feng Xia informed Zu Long of this matter, but even this ancient innate deity knew almost nothing about the Cataclysmic Calamity. However, he still brought up one thing: "Do you remember Tai Xu? According to the investigation by the Divine Kingdom at the time, Tai Xu was very likely the remnant of an ancient universe, and within Tai Xu, there existed a strange power that suppressed everything..."

Feng Xia's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that the strange power is..."

"Judging from its power, that force does not have the power to destroy everything, but it can suppress all kinds of energy and the Great Dao. In the area where that force is strong, even a God Lord or God Sovereign may only have the power of the Primordial Core and the Dharma Aspect left!"

Zu Long paused here, and whispered, "The original divine kingdom had not yet had time to explore the source of that power when it was already struck by a great calamity. Now it seems that that power may be the aftershock of the calamity of destruction!"

"The aftermath of the cataclysmic destruction... perhaps that's possible."

Feng Xia nodded.

He had seen a similar scene in the memories of the pig-slaughtering knife spirit back then.

The gods, who were incredibly powerful, fought like mortals on the battlefield.

Looking back now, that battle probably took place in Taixu!

"It seems that it's not just to bring people back, but also to break through to a higher realm... I'm destined to go to Taixu."

Amidst everyone's silence, after a voyage that lasted for several years, the ship finally approached the Ziwei main star!

……

Chapter 1134

The universe is not uniformly distributed.

At the same time, different regions have different concentrations of primordial energy, different Daos, and so on. All these factors combined will lead to different spatial intensities in different regions of the universe.

Just like in the Xuan Yuan World, any Divine Bridge Realm expert could break through space.

When a true god descends, he often possesses the power to destroy the world.

However, in the Southern Star Region, even when true gods are fighting, they rarely manage to shake the spatial framework.

This phenomenon became even more pronounced after arriving at Ziwei Temple.

Originally, the Li family's ship was extremely fast, easily breaking through space and traversing tens or hundreds of thousands of miles of starry sky in an instant. In addition, the environment was comfortable, which is why Feng Xia chose to travel by ship.

However, the closer they got to the Purple Palace, the slower the Li family's ship became, and the more difficult it was for it to break through space.

Now, before each space traversal, the ship's power furnace needs to gather a massive amount of vital energy in advance, and at the same time, it needs to repeatedly calculate the spatial coordinates to prevent errors in the final positioning.

Ziwei's spatial framework is so stable that if any accident were to occur, the ship might be crushed and torn apart by the spatial pressure in the blink of an eye.

Even so, the most recent time the ship traversed space, it only covered a distance of tens of thousands of miles.

Fortunately, they were now very close to the Ziwei main star.

In the vast universe ahead, endless purple aura descends, majestic and imposing, exuding a grand and awe-inspiring aura. Regardless of race or status, everyone who truly arrives at Ziwei is involuntarily awestruck by this sight!

The purple aura seemed to transform into a canopy, enveloping an incomparably majestic phantom.

"That phantom..."

Feng Xia's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Almost simultaneously, the Ancestral Dragon and the Demon Dragon Emperor emerged from seclusion, their gazes solemn as they looked at the thick purple aura: "That is—"

If they were to unleash the power of the Heaven and Earth, or reveal their true forms, they could also possess such magnificent physiques.

However, the illusory figure under the purple aura subtly brought them an inexplicable sense of oppression!

"A great emperor presiding over Ziwei? That doesn't seem quite right..."

Feng Xia quickly withdrew his gaze, shook his head and whispered, "It doesn't seem like an avatar, or even a living one... Qing Mu, what is that? When I last came to Ziwei, there was no such phantom."

Originally, Li Qingmu was lamenting that he was just going out for a trip and wanted to relax before breaking through to the God Lord level.

However, they unexpectedly encountered terrifyingly powerful figures such as Feng Xia, Zu Long, and the Demon Dragon Emperor.

Now, after several years, he has returned to Ziwei once again.

Upon hearing Feng Xia's words, Li Qingmu was first stunned, then his face showed horror, and he exclaimed in shock, "You...you didn't have this phantom when you came last time?!"

Feng Xia nodded slowly, his expression unchanged: "It's been many years since we last met. I didn't expect Ziwei to have changed so much."

If he had a beard, he'd probably be stroking it right now.

This was actually a strategy that Feng Xia and Zu Long had decided on before coming to Ziwei—rather than pretending to know everything and letting others see through their facade, or revealing that they knew nothing at all, it was better to choose a safer middle ground.

They did come to Ziwei, but it was a long time ago.

Time passed, and the seasons changed, and the world was transformed!

In this way, one will neither easily expose weaknesses nor be looked down upon, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

"This, this, this..."

For a moment, Li Qingmu was somewhat incoherent: "That illusory figure, bathed in purple aura... has been around for nearly two million years. Back then, the Li family wasn't even a third-rate power..."

Two million years!

Perhaps two million years is just a blink of an eye on the scale of the universe.

Two million years is not a long time for the eternal, innate divine.

It should be noted that this ancient and primordial era of gods and demons in the universe lasted for at least hundreds of millions of years!

But for beings born later in life, two million years is far too long.

Generally speaking, even those who become emperors rarely live for two million years.

Originally, Feng Xia said he had never seen the phenomenon of stars being destroyed. Li Qingmu thought that when Feng Xia last came, it was probably tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago. Although this period of time was long, it was still somewhat plausible.

But two million years—

Even emperors will turn into withered bones!
