“Master, this is the place.” Chasing Ox said excitedly, pointing at the boundless grey planet ahead in the vast void.
It was no wonder he was excited, in this side of the void, the planet was moving. The fact that it could still find this planet after all these years was already a shocking joy.
Ning Cheng had also seen this boundless planet long ago and patted Chasing Ox’s head, “Not bad, looks like you’ve grown up, you even remember such things.”
After Chasing Ox received the praise from his lord, he was even more excited and difficult to stop the Star Wheel on the surface of this planet.
When Chasing Ox controlled the Starry Sky Wheel and landed on top of this planet, Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out and his heart was shocked.
Although he had been severely injured and his sea of consciousness had been damaged. However, his divine sense was still very powerful, and with such a powerful divine sense, he was actually unable to sweep out this planet.
The only thing he could perceive was that this planet was vast and unpopulated. Not only were there no people, no water, not even any living creatures existed, there was simply a grey hard rock.
“Chasing Ox, this place is good. I’m afraid it will take me many years to fuse the Dao Rhythm of Hong Meng here. And there will even be some larger disturbances in it, and your strength is really too poor. You should enter the Xuanhuang Pearl now to cultivate, and strive to cross over to the Dao of Transformation realm after I have fused the divine Rhythm.” Ning Cheng said gruffly.
Chasing Ox could see that his master was not joking this time, but was truly cautious. Even if he didn’t want to cultivate anymore, he had no choice but to respond, “Don’t worry, Master, I will definitely cultivate properly in the Xuanhuang Pearl.”
Ning Cheng nodded, “If you can cross over to the Dao Yuan realm after I finish fusing the Dao Rhymes of Hong Meng, I will allow you to wander around the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven alone. If you can reach the Dao Transformation Realm, I will allow you to follow me around without having to enter the Xuanhuang Pearl. Otherwise, you may as well stay in the Xuanhuang Pearl and take your time to cultivate.”
Chasing Ox nodded in a dishevelled manner, “Yes, Master.”
After sending Chasing Ox into the Xuanhuang Pearl, Ning Cheng did not even set up the Spirit Gathering Formation. He had not yet recovered from his heavy injuries, so even if he were to set up a spirit gathering formation, he would not be able to set up one of much higher level.
What’s more, in this side of the void, it would be a fool’s errand to try to gather any divine spiritual energy.
Ning Cheng did not care, what he wanted was not the dense spiritual qi to cultivate, what he wanted was to fuse the Dao Rhyme of Hongmeng. As long as he could sense the hint of spirituality that opened up the heavens and the earth through the divine Dao Rhyme, he might be able to go one step further.
In this unoccupied void, after Ning Cheng had put away the Starry Sky Wheel and chased the ox into the Xuanhuang Pearl, complete silence returned.
On the huge grey planet, Ning Cheng carefully grabbed out the one divine Dao Rhyme, slowly opened one of the divine Dao Rhyme’s prohibitions, and his entire mind penetrated into it.
A vast aura that transcended the distant past penetrated between Ning Cheng’s entire consciousness in this instant, and at this moment Ning Cheng felt the generation of chaos and a strong will that transcended everything.
Just as Ning Cheng wanted to continue to penetrate and sense that one Dao rhyme of Hong Meng, endless Chaotic Cosmic Origin suddenly burst forth from the Dao rhyme of Hong Meng ……
Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, wind, thunder and snow, light and darkness, emptiness, life and death, movement and stillness …..
As long as the origin of the vast universe of the domain existed, it suddenly burst out in this divine Dao rhyme. At this moment, Ning Cheng’s whole person was like being blocked at the entrance of a burning gunpowder magazine, tormented and unbearable, as if he would be blown to pieces by the bursting gunpowder magazine at any moment.
Ning Cheng’s heart completely sank into an icy valley, if the aura of the first division of the universe on that grey stone was an egg hatching when he had previously crossed into the third step, then this was a planet bursting.
Ning Cheng had almost stirred up his life’s potential to fuse, dissolve and sense this Chaotic Cosmic Primordial Dao Origin, but it was still a drop in the bucket. One could imagine that it was only a matter of time before his entire body was blown to pieces by this essence power.
As time and fate would have it, a sadness welled up in Ning Cheng’s heart. Ever since he had obtained the Xuanhuang Pearl, he had been cultivating like crazy. From the Yixing Continent to the Vast Starry Sky, from the Vast Starry Sky to the Tai Su Realm, from the Tai Su Realm to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Outer Sky, and even to the Light and Dark Universe.
He had obtained too many chances in this, and this time, despite being heavily injured, he still snatched a Dao Rhyme of Hongmeng in the Chaotic Inner Realm.
So what if he had grabbed the Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao? Now he was still going to fall under the Dao Rhyme and be torn to pieces by the endless Origin?
Such a large amount of Chaos Origin would have been difficult for him to obtain in normal times, and now he had obtained so much of it.
If he had had such a large amount of origin before, where would he have needed to search for any Five Element Origin Beads? Compared to the Origin Beads, this kind of Chaotic Origin Origin was even purer.
And at this moment, not to mention that he was already heavily injured, even if he was not injured, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the erosion of this origin, and he would still end up being torn apart by this origin, and then transformed into the origin breath of the vast universe together with the Dao Rhythm of Hongmeng.
Perhaps countless billions of years later, this vast void will be transformed into a living world because of his fall today.
After all, he had brought with him endless origin, and only with these origin would all kinds of heaven and earth rules be derived, and only then would all kinds of life aura be derived.
It was not known how long had passed when Ning Cheng’s support finally reached its limit.
“Poof,” blood gas burst out, and an Origin Qi that Ning Cheng had not had time to refine finally tore through Ning Cheng’s skin, bringing out a blood mist.
Just like a chain reaction, with the first one, there was a second one.
In just a few days, Ning Cheng’s surrounding body was a bloody blur. At this moment, Ning Cheng had lost too much essence blood around his body, and a face was bloodless.
Despite the fact that he was about to be torn apart by the endless Chaos Origin of this Dao Rhythm of Hongmeng, Ning Cheng still did not give up and kept trying to contain the endless onslaught of Chaos Origin.
In his consciousness, unless he fell or lost his consciousness completely, he would not give up any chance of survival.
As his body grew weaker and weaker, Ning Cheng finally sensed a chance of life in this Dao Rhythm of Hong Meng. That was to stop fusing and refining the divine Dao Rhyme, as long as he fused himself into the divine Dao Rhyme, he would cross over into the Supreme Realm.
It all looked the same, one was fusing the Dao Rhyme of Hong Meng and the other was fusing himself into the Dao Rhyme of Hong Meng. However, the only consciousness Ning Cheng had left let him know that it was definitely different. Refining and fusing the divine Dao Rhyme was what he wanted to do, while fusing himself into it was an added consciousness that was not what he wanted.
He, Ning Cheng, would definitely not become a Dao machine even if he were to fall. Once he was fused into the Dao Rhythm of Hongmeng, he, Ning Cheng, would be nothing more than a Dao machine even if he lived. At that time, there would no longer be any emotion in his eyes, no sorrow or joy.
What there was, was only the Great Dao.
This was not his Dao, his Dao was first and foremost that he should exist, if he didn’t even exist anymore, this kind of Dao was not wanted. If he falls, he falls. As an earthling, to have lived so long, to have seen so many things, to have known the endless vastness of the universe, he is enough.
Whether he lived or died, he would always be Ning Cheng. Just as he did not cultivate doppelgangers, he, Ning Cheng, was unique, and no one and no dao, including the doppelganger belonging to him, could replace him.
Time slowly passed, and in this unoccupied grey planet, Ning Cheng finally lost consciousness. But he had not fallen yet, and in his subconscious mind there was still a powerful force of will. This force of will was stopping everything from fusing himself into the Great Dao, this force was holding him up, even if he only had one last second left.
Perhaps Ning Cheng’s will was too strong, or perhaps the onslaught of the Origin of the Dao Rhythm of Hong Meng only went so far.
Ning Cheng’s tattered body finally came into balance under the onslaught of the Origin of the Dao Rhyme of Hongmeng. This balance was a balance between Ning Cheng’s own will, and the endless Origin that was gushing out from the Dao Rhyme of Hong Meng. Neither side could overcome, Ning Cheng’s will could not refine this Dao Rhyme of Hong Meng and fuse it with his own sense to become part of his own Dao. The divine Dao Rhyme, on the other hand, could not destroy Ning Cheng’s will and fuse Ning Cheng into the divine Dao Rhyme.
Everything thus formed a standstill, and every moment the origin fused by Ning Cheng would turn into Ning Cheng’s vitality, and then this vitality would be washed away by the new origin in the divine Dao Rhyme, turning into a blood mist that spurted out from the wounds around Ning Cheng’s body.
As year after year passed, the blood mist around Ning Cheng’s body never stood still, and just kept on staining the hard rocks around him red.
The blood colour stretched out from around Ning Cheng’s body, and the range grew larger and larger.
