Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Indeed, wisps of faint, visible white mist were rising from Jin Zi's head, just like water boiling.

Azure and Emerald, who were watching the excitement, suddenly froze, then their expressions changed drastically. Oh no, this is bad!

The three little ones watching over there also exclaimed "Holy crap!" and turned to run away.

A faint purple halo had appeared around Jin Zi's body at some point.

Its bulging shape gives off a creepy, threatening feeling; just looking at it doesn't make it a good thing.

Li Xia's eyes narrowed, and his figure vanished in an instant, appearing in front of Jin Zi.

He stretched out a finger, about to poke Jin Zi.

Azure's eyes immediately changed, and she hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Dark Flame, no!"

But he hadn't finished speaking when

The finger had already pierced through a layer of water, directly touching Jin Zi's Tanzhong acupoint.

This poke seemed to trigger some kind of switch; with a "pop," the water ripples in front of Jin Zi exploded.

She took two steps back and slumped onto the sofa, looking around blankly.

Li Xia waved, and the three little ones, who had rushed back as soon as they saw that nothing was wrong, immediately ran over.

They fawned over a bottle of wine, and Li Xia poured a glass and handed it to Jin Zi.

"Was that... a loss of control of emotions?"

Cang Lan swallowed hard and slowly said, "That's right, emotional outburst..."

Hunters are connected to the divine power; their emotions, their beliefs, and everything about them are inextricably linked to it.

A change in belief, or the collapse of belief, can cause a hunter to transform into a monster-like being.

Therefore, extremely strong emotional fluctuations can also affect hunters; what just happened was an anomaly caused by emotional outburst.

When emotions reach their peak, the hunter unleashes their strongest power.

That's why I told you not to touch it.

That pale purple light was the divine power of rules controlled by Jin Zi, also known as the light of dissolution.

Let alone touching them, if you're too slow, you might be completely wiped out of the world.

Previously, Azure had prepared to fully unleash its power, using its own strength to envelop Violet Purple and fight back with the power of rules to see if it could protect the surrounding area.

Unexpectedly, Li Xia pierced through with a single finger, not only piercing through but also acting as if nothing had happened, while also shattering the light of dissolution.

This power... is this the power after breaking through?

Just as I expected...

Li Xia nodded thoughtfully. If emotions could become power, then losing control of those emotions could also cause disaster.

Looking at Jin Zi, who was panting, she asked, "Are you emotionally stable now?"

Jin Zi felt a strange sensation in her body, as if that finger had directly severed the flow of certain powers within her.

"I'm much better now... thank you."

She took a breath, held the wine glass, tilted her head back, and gulped it down.

Li Xia sat down again: "So now can you tell me what the tipping point is?"

Azure nodded, gathered her thoughts, and said:

There are two so-called critical points.

The first is the critical point that arises when a level 5 hunter breaks through to the level of a god.

We're already title hunters now, and so are you, so don't worry about it.

The important thing is the second critical point.

Li Xia listened attentively as he spoke.

This is actually not hard to understand; it's roughly the point where the connection between God and man has reached its peak—a 100% synchronization rate.

This leads to a deeper integration between humans and the divine, that is, the rules represented by the divine.

This kind of fusion is completely different from a Level 5 Hunter breaking through their own limitations and relying on their beliefs to overcome the assimilation of heteromorphs:

The first critical point only requires breaking through the assimilation of human desires that are combined with rules.

With enough determination and strong enough conviction, it is not impossible to overcome human desires.

The second critical point, however, requires breaking through pure rules.

That's why, according to Azure, no one in the Hunter's Guild has ever succeeded in this regard.

And without exception, all those who reached the critical point and made a breakthrough disappeared mysteriously.

After he finished speaking, the three titled hunters looked at Li Xia with great anticipation, hoping that he could come up with something.

Li Xia rubbed his chin, feeling that this thing sounded somewhat familiar.

When rules are combined with the body, the boundaries of those rules cannot be broken, resulting in complete failure...

Uh-huh???

Li Xia was taken aback, and the howling bird over there was already loudly proclaiming:

"Such a simple thing, and you haven't figured it out after all these years?"

Azure, violet, and emerald—they were all taken aback as they looked at the baby dragon floating inside the dragon egg.

“This…” Azure carefully considered her words: “This… Mr. Egg Snake…”

"You're the egg-shaped snake, your whole family are egg-shaped snakes!" Roar roared in fury. "Grandpa Dragon is a dragon! A dragon, do you know that? A dragon!"

The three of them looked at Aowu, who was huddled inside the egg with only his head sticking out, in confusion. He looked just like a snake with little legs.

However, this snake is quite beautiful, but it is completely different from the dragons that are circulated in the Sanctuary, which are similar to lizards with large wings.

"puff"

Li Xia couldn't help but laugh, while his two brothers, Heitan and Xiaotian, laughed wildly with their mouths wide open. Even Li Huodan couldn't help but chuckle.

Awoo, somewhat annoyed, crawled out of the egg and hovered in mid-air.

"Forget it, I won't bother with you lower-level creatures."

Listen carefully, your failure to break through the critical point is simply because you're not qualified enough. It's that simple.

Li Xia suddenly realized, "I knew it sounded familiar! That's it, it's because I'm not qualified enough!"

Tipping point, divine preparation, emotional connection, rules, beliefs—these all sound mysterious, but simply put, isn't it just about integrating rules into oneself?

When Li Xia obtained the Star God's rule fragment and integrated it into himself, what prompts did the Hall of Light give him?

"Insufficient space to accommodate!"

Only Aowu, as a mythical creature, possesses an extremely high status and is therefore capable of accepting that fragment.

From that moment on, Li Xia began to ponder what exactly this Ge was.

Only after obtaining the avatar did he possess a container to contain the rules.

In other words, the apostle can contain the rules, but not within himself, but within his incarnation.

As for why this happened, it's still unclear.

However, the crux of the problem that title hunters in this world cannot break through is that these people cannot accept the rules and are not qualified enough.

"I have a general understanding of your problems, and I also know why you are unable to break through."

Li Xia spoke slowly, and the three of them perked up, immediately widening their eyes and watching Li Xia carefully, afraid of missing a single word.

He pondered for a while, but found that this was a dead end for Cang Lan and the others, and for the people of this world, because they could not obtain an avatar.

So he could only sigh and say:

"My breakthrough was probably an accident, a result of a series of coincidences."

He decided to use the RS-012 as a shield once again:

"I was attacked by the split of RS-012 at the time, but I have actually forgotten what happened."

But I have clearly crossed that boundary, and my divine power has become what it is today.

Li Xia pointed at Aowu:

"The crux of your problem is that the human body cannot contain the rules inherent in the divine."

My breakthrough is not representative, so you shouldn't try this method.

Is the Egg Snake a divine preparation?

Azure opened her mouth wide, her expression a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.

A divine artifact is a divine artifact; it may even manifest as a plant. But how could it be a living creature with emotions, a snake or a dragon?

"But isn't your divine weapon that long spear? We've seen you use it before."

The Dark Flame God's original weaponry consisted of two daggers, and as for why it has now become a spear, they naturally assumed it was a change that occurred after the breakthrough.

Li Xia paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand, and a flash of light appeared, revealing "Night Silence" directly in his palm.

"Why isn't Awoo a divine weapon?"

He winked at Aowu, who immediately used the "Dragon Soul Possession" technique, which he hadn't used in a long time, transforming into a streak of light and darting into the spear.

The already imposing spear instantly transformed, with faint dragon-scale-like patterns appearing on the shaft and two sharp points appearing on the blade, turning it into a peculiar weapon exuding extreme power and ferocity.

It really was divinely prepared! The three of them were shocked and stared intently at the long spear.

With a wave of his hand, Li Xia's spear once again transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

"As you can see, that's about it. I've provided all that I can."

The three sat back down in their chairs, their brows furrowed, as if deep in thought.

After a while, Li Xia slowly said:

"Now that I have told you about the breakthrough as agreed, it is my turn to ask questions."

The three were jolted out of their reverie. Cang Lan took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "That's how it should be. This is what we promised. As long as we know, we will tell you the truth."

Li Xia asked directly, "Are there any other gathering points outside the shelter?"

These words were like a thunderclap in the room, causing the three of them to suddenly change color.

His pale face turned serious, even somewhat grim.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Yes, but to be precise, they are not gathering points like shelters."

"Azure!" the two exclaimed.

Azure shook her head: "I should keep my promise, and I don't think this is some kind of secret that can't be told."

The two stared at him blankly, and finally fell silent as well.

Jin Zi let out a sigh of relief: "That's true, but we've been living like rats in the gutter for so long that we always feel that nothing can be brought into the light."

Azure opened up a certain knot in her heart, and her expression became much more relaxed.

He thought for a moment and said, "Although the wilderness is dangerous, the world before the catastrophe was exceptionally vast, and there are always some places that are relatively safe for various special reasons."

Hunters would record these locations when they stumbled upon them while exploring, using them as temporary resting places or safe cabins.

As time went on, some hunters who wanted to make money, or who couldn't survive in the shelters and were forced to flee for various reasons, settled in these safe houses.

Eventually, it gradually evolved into markets of all sizes, or rather, settlements.

When we hunters go out, we also go there to resupply and rest.

As for whether there are any large gathering points, I'm not sure; I haven't been to the wilderness in a long time.

At the end, Canglan sighed, clearly feeling somewhat helpless.

As the president of the Hunter's Guild, he has a lot to manage, especially now that the back alley is tied to the Hunter's Guild, he has even more to worry about.

it is as expected.

Li Xia nodded: "Give me a map of these settlements, and that will be enough."

"map?"
