Zhou Heng’s singular black hole continued to grow, connecting to an unknown world, or perhaps a space, or just a place. In summary, the star vortex could draw spiritual energy from there, a continuous stream of spiritual energy that fueled his rapid growth.
He always wanted to know what that space was, and the mont had finally arrived.
The singular black hole stopped growing because it had fulfilled its mission, bridging communication between Zhou Heng’s Dantian Space and another space, serving as a bridge.
This passageway, Zhou Heng’s body couldn’t pass through because it was inside him! However, his consciousness could pass unrestricted, completely ignoring the constraints of spatial distance.
His consciousness, like a tentacle, cautiously reached the other end of the singular black hole and ventured out.
Then, he reeled sothing back into the Dantian Space, and with a thought, the object appeared before him, floating.
A purple crystal!
"This—" Huo Tian exclaid in surprise.
"What is it?" Hongyue, the Black Donkey, and Old Azure Dragon asked in unison.
Huo Tian pointed at the floating purple crystal, her delicate face filled with astonishnt.
This was clearly the item brought back by that "bored" person from the Vermilion Bird Clan at the edge of the world, so hard that even a Saint’s power couldn’t destroy it, yet Zhou Heng had effortlessly rged it into his body!
But how did Zhou Heng manifest another piece now?
"I don’t know either!" Zhou Heng was equally shocked and puzzled. Had his Dantian Space communicated with the world’s edge through the singular black hole?
"What is this thing?" Hongyue extended her hand, but upon touching the purple crystal, there was no response. She gripped it firmly, then displayed an astonished expression because this purple crystal was incredibly hard!
Who did she think she was?
A Chaos Realm expert at the Thousand-Step Level, her overall strength was only below the Five Saints! Yet, under her palm’s strike, she couldn’t even crush a crystal, nor did a single crack appear—this was too unbelievable.
"You better not really break it; this is a treasure!" Zhou Heng laughed.
"A treasure?" The Black Donkey jumped up imdiately, extended its hoof, trying to seize the opportunity, "Hmm, not bad. I just happen to need an ornant; you can give it to !"
Zhou Heng hurriedly snatched the purple crystal, and as soon as he did, a bizarre thing happened—the purple crystal instantly fused into his palm!
"What!" The people around all exclaid.
Huo Tian had seen this phenonon before, but she still couldn’t help being amazed, as this was sothing even Saints couldn’t achieve.
It seed this was absolutely related to Super Grand Perfection; only Super Grand Perfection could absorb such benefits!
This ti, Zhou Heng didn’t pass out; he personally experienced the changes in his body.
It was scorching hot!
He forcefully held back from groaning, but as the fiery sensation surged through his body, his physique was quietly transforming!
He had already reached the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, with both spiritual power accumulation and laws comprehension at their limits, unable to advance further. This was normal; each realm had its upper limit, and even though laws comprehension seed endless, the heavens had flaws, and the laws available for mastery were only so many—where could you go to supplent other laws?
Yet, the purple crystal miraculously augnted his power limit and filled his law gaps.
It was like a super version of the Star Core, but infinitely more effective because the Star Core could only enhance spiritual power accumulation, not the power limit!
In less than half a day, Zhou Heng digested this piece of purple crystal.
If he paralleled the Chaos Realm’s ultimate power as a thousand steps, then his power limit now reached one thousand and ten steps, and his laws comprehension also reached one thousand and ten steps!
Long, long ago, Zhou Heng had thought, if he had an endless supply of purple crystals, his physique, spiritual power, and laws comprehension would reach unimaginable heights!
And now, this was happening!
He again sent his Divine Sense through the singular black hole, made a turn, and another piece of purple crystal appeared.
Zhou Heng seed to have an epiphany!
This was an alternative path to sainthood!
Only when all four Great Realms reached Super Grand Perfection could the singular black hole be ford, and only the singular black hole could communicate with the world’s edge! Only a Super Grand Perfection body could rge with the purple crystal!
Therefore, even if soone went to the world’s edge and brought back a purple crystal, it would be useless because they couldn’t refine it! Even if Zhou Heng went personally to the world’s edge, the purple crystals there weren’t randomly scattered, and it might take ten, a hundred, or a billion years to obtain one piece.
Only by forming the singular black hole, which could communicate with the world’s edge, could one take as they wished!
A Saint’s power was probably ten thousand tis the Chaos Realm’s limit, and if one purple crystal could increase power by ten steps, then he would need to refine a million purple crystals to possess Saint-level power!
And the height of laws—that was terrifyingly incalculable!
Perhaps the Laws have an endpoint and won’t be ridiculously high. To reach five thousand or ten thousand steps would only require four hundred or nine hundred pieces of Purple Crystal!
"I will begin closed-door cultivation!" Zhou Heng left behind these words and entered the Immortal Residence.
The most difficult part of this alternative path to becoming a Saint is the Super Grand Perfection of the Four Great Realms. Once these four steps are completed, the road ahead is absolutely smooth, requiring only ti!
Zhou Heng put everything aside and began constantly transporting Purple Crystals from the other end of the sole Black Cave for Refinent.
Although it seems there’s no danger now, as neither the Three Saints nor the Heaven’s Mandate True Monarch have appeared, and on their side, the Black Donkey has also beco a Saint, possessing full qualifications to oppose them, Zhou Heng consistently felt a vague sense of crisis.
This cos from the Heaven’s Mandate True Monarch!
This person... broke the fate of the Eight Caves and stepped into the Chaos Realm, an achievent almost only slightly less difficult than the alternative path to Saint! Moreover, the Heaven’s Mandate True Monarch evidently has an entangled relationship with the trapped Great Demon!
As a hundred years are about to pass, not only will the prototype of the Demon Sea fully form, but even the Great Demon will soon reappear!
To face that Great Demon, don’t even ntion Huo Tian and the Black Donkey; even if the new Five Saints joined together, they wouldn’t be a match! Besides, that Great Demon has already been sealed once by the Five Saints; would he fall into the sa trap again?
It’s too difficult; how could an unparalleled expert fall into the sa pit twice?
Furthermore, Zhou Heng was unwilling to let Huo Tian sacrifice himself to seal that Great Demon!
Therefore, instead of pinning hope on the occurrence of miracles, it’s better to possess absolute power oneself to personally resolve everything!
Piece by piece, the Purple Crystals were fused by him. Impatiently, he could no longer wait to rge them one by one but started doing two, three at a ti, and the intense heat nearly burned him alive. Yet, he stubbornly hung on.
The limit is rging four pieces at once!
Zhou Heng concluded that although fusing four pieces at once also left him on the brink of life and death, the result was his body almost turning to charcoal! However, his state reached an all-ti high; every fusion of four Purple Crystals implied an increase of forty steps in both power and the limit of the Laws!
His Laws comprehension is now irrevocably the foremost in the Bright Realm; even Huo Tian can only look on with wide eyes, conceding defeat, yet for power, Saints are too strong, a thousand tis stronger than the Chaos Realm. He needs to walk ten million steps, which requires a very, very, very long ti!
rely one month away from stepping out of the Inner World of Taixu Saint, Zhou Heng believes that the plot of the Heaven’s Mandate True Monarch and others are either at the border of the Inner World or at its exit!
Thus, there’s not much ti!
He thought it over, applied the Laws of Ti to himself, and accelerated the flow of ti around him at a tenfold speed.
This manipulation, in the past, was beyond Huo Tian, Hongyue!
Because the Laws were flawed!
They could only interfere with the flow of ti to a limited extent, like suddenly speeding up or slowing down, but overall, the waves of ti would cancel each other, ultimately forming a complete and smooth straight line.
But Zhou Heng is different.
The Laws he mastered have surpassed the limits of the Bright Realm, acquiring "divine" ability!
As long as one’s strength is weaker than his own, he can accelerate the ti flow, forcibly shortening their life by ninefold—for outside observers, because the flow of ti varies.
Applying the ti flow to himself was a risky act, as it would conflict with his own Laws, producing unpredictable consequences.
Yet Zhou Heng must race against ti; otherwise, he is impossible to reach the power limit within a short span, attaining a Saint level!
Luckily, his comprehension is extraordinary. Carefully manipulating the Laws, he started from a twofold ti flow and gradually increased it to tenfold speed.
He now possessed tenfold ti, yet concerning the need to rge as many as a million Purple Crystals, tenfold speed is still not sufficient!
He calculated that he could fuse at most ten Purple Crystals per day, so to reach a million pieces would require as many as one hundred thousand days! And he only had one month, requiring the ti flow to accelerate to... more than three thousand tis!
Tenfold, three thousandfold, the gap is vast!
Zhou Heng strived relentlessly, with each slight advancent in Laws Comprehension, increntally speeding up the ti flow from tenfold to twentyfold, fiftyfold, a hundredfold. His "speed" kept soaring, and his power also skyrocketed.
Yet everything still belonged to quantitative changes, never touching qualitative change, including power and the Laws.
aning he neither reached the critical point in power to beco a Saint, nor broke through in the height of the Laws for alternative Becoming Saint.
anwhile, outside the Immortal Residence, Huo Tian and his group reached the end of this space.
They hesitated for a mont, then stepped out boldly.
The endless radiance vanished, revealing before them a vortex-like nebula, and at the center of the nebula was a cocoon-like object, faintly showing a humanoid inside, layers of light wrapping the outside.
Surrounding this cocoon were five elders sitting cross-legged, with one hand laid on another’s shoulder and the other pressed against the cocoon’s light screen.
These five had died long ago, yet their bodies emitted an ancient and powerful aura, enough to cause even Chaos Realm experts to tremble in their souls!
"Welco, welco to the core of the Heaven-Earth Origin Land!" The Heaven’s Mandate True Monarch applauded with a smile. Beside him stood three Saints and Heavenly Venerate Mingzhao, an expert from the Chaos Realm of the Ganges lineage. (To be continued.
