Chapter 690 - 440: Obliterating the White King (Part 1)

At this thought, he opened his hand.

In an instant, a palm-sized silver portal materialized in his palm.

This was the item his Clone had redeemed from the Reincarnation Bookstore—the [Any Gate].

It had used the Damaged Black Banner in the Mind Realm as a medium to cross the boundaries of space and teleport into Hu Qi’s hand.

As for why he had redeemed this item, it was, of course, for the White King.

Hu Qi was the type to repay every grudge. That bastard White King had nearly killed him before, so now he naturally had to get his revenge.

After breaking through to the True God Realm, he had tried searching for her.

Unfortunately, he only managed to find one of her follower’s worlds.

But finding the White King herself proved impossible.

After all, the Sea of Sumeru was simply too vast.

And the Bottomless Realm within it was fraught with danger.

Even a True God had to be extremely careful when traversing it.

This made it impossible for him to find any trace of the White King.

However, after obtaining authority in the Reincarnation Bookstore, his Clone learned of this kind of item and redeemed it.

Of course, hunting the White King wasn’t just for revenge.

The Dao Rhymes on her person were Hu Qi’s true target.

Rather than spending countless years searching for Dao Rhymes in various worlds, it was better to just plunder them directly from her.

’But now is not the time. The most important thing right now is to first grind down and digest the Great Dao in my body, obtain the two Dao Rhymes within it, and further upgrade my Divine Limit Heart Technique. I need to raise my strength a bit more and fully step into the Dao Seed Level. That would be the safer approach!’

With this in mind,

He closed his eyes again, his aura circulating as he threw himself wholeheartedly into refining the Oath Dao within him.

...

Time flew by like a fleeting shadow.

Three years passed according to the flow of time in the Pocket World.

Hu Qi opened his eyes once more.

’It’s done!’

At this moment, looking within his body via Introspection, the ball of light formed by the Oath Dao had dimmed to an extreme, like a candle flickering in the wind.

The next second,

The ball of light exploded like a bursting bubble, releasing two smaller, faintly glowing clusters of light.

The moment these light clusters appeared, Hu Qi swiftly absorbed and digested them.

[Erosion] [Contract]

This was the information contained within the two Dao Rhymes.

Back then, the reason Black Erosion had dared to make an oath with him was because he relied on the special connection between his own Oath Dao and the Contract Dao Rhyme, which granted him a certain degree of immunity to the power of contracts.

Unfortunately for him, he never expected that Hu Qi could be completely immune to the constraints of a contract.

With a thought, Hu Qi summoned his status panel.

[Host: Hu Qi]

[Status: Normal]

[Life Level: True God (Infinite Dao) Dao Rhymes: Reincarnation, Erosion, Contract]

[Bloodline: Taiyu Serpent]

[Talent: Spirit Devouring, Twisted Light (Heaven and Earth), Primordial Eye (Crimson Sun Flame Prison), Eternal Ring]

[Divine Techniques: Water Control, Intention Sword, Ten Thousand Thunders, Buddha Realm, Celestial Destiny Core]

[Skill: Divine Limit Heart Technique (Fourth Layer) △]

...

[Modification Points: 63,450 (57%)]

His Modification Points, after three years of accumulation in the Pocket World, had once again surpassed sixty thousand.

This was enough to meet the requirements for modifying and upgrading the Divine Limit Heart Technique.

"Crimson! Modify and upgrade the Divine Limit Heart Technique to the Fifth Layer!"

BUZZ!

His Modification Points instantly decreased by fifty thousand.

At the same time,

The Infinite Dao within him trembled slightly.

The point of light representing his Infinite Dao, once hazy like starlight, now vibrated violently, as if being kneaded and reshaped by an invisible force.

Its translucent shell gradually solidified, taking on a gentle, jade-like luster, and its surface became covered with fine golden patterns.

As a halo of light flowed around it, it slowly shrank and transformed. A bud-like crystal gleam sprouted from its top, while slender, root-like threads of energy extended from its base.

Finally, it transformed into a completely translucent seed, with a faint light pulsing at its core, reminiscent of the dawn of Chaos.

The Dao Seed was finally formed!

Hu Qi could clearly feel that his strength had once again risen by a significant margin.

When the transformation stopped,

He flipped his palm, and the [Any Gate] reappeared in his hand.

Then, he squeezed his hand abruptly. The light exploded, and a massive, silvery-white door slowly materialized before him.

He gazed at the door.

And said, "Take me to the location of White King Altina."

As his voice fell,

Hu Qi’s aura suddenly surged, the power of his Infinite Dao roaring to life.

His aura skyrocketed from the True God Realm, quickly climbing to the very limit of the Dao Seed Level.

"White King! I’ve come for you!"

The corners of his mouth turned up in a vicious smile.

He then reached out, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed hard.

The Any Gate swung open, revealing a swirling vortex that seemed to connect to an endless void.

Hu Qi paused for a moment before taking a step forward. His figure, along with the silver door, vanished from the spot.

...

After a long while, the giant turtle timidly peeked its head out.

After confirming that Hu Qi was truly gone, it breathed a sigh of relief as if granted a pardon.

Ever since Hu Qi had arrived on its back, it had been living in constant fear, terrified that this powerful being would kill it at the slightest displeasure.

Just a moment ago, it had sensed an unparalleled, terrifying aura and killing intent, and it almost thought it was about to die.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario had not come to pass.

’I can’t stay in this Deep Dark Zone any longer!’

At this thought,

After briefly getting its bearings, the giant turtle paddled forward, its body shooting off like a rocket.

Its speed was now several times faster than before.

...

「In an unknown region of space.」

A pure white Holy Hall floated there, like a pure white sun.

Inside the Holy Hall.

Upon a magnificent white throne,

A figure was seated.

Twelve pairs of wings cascaded down behind her like a curtain of snow.

Suddenly,

White King Altina, who had been refining the Dao Rhymes in her body with her eyes closed, seemed to sense something.

Her eyes snapped open.

She looked up.

And in that very instant,

Above the Holy Hall,

The void abruptly tore open.

A jet-black beam of death pierced through the Celestial Vault.

It descended with a ROAR, carrying an aura that could annihilate all things.

At the same time,

A nearly crazed, vicious laugh exploded through the space like thunder.

"You winged freak, die for me!!"
