Chapter 635 - 425: Dao Rhyme [2]

However, in the face of Black Erosion’s furious roar, Hu Qi was completely unmoved.

His true form, carrying Bai Kong’s physical body, sped toward the very center of this world.

At that central point was where the sun resided.

In the void of space, the pitch-black great sun floated silently.

Its surface showed no leaping flames, no scorching light. In their place was a cold, almost deathly stillness and darkness.

It was enormous, its silhouette faintly visible. The edges were covered in fine cracks, like a dried-up riverbed, twisting and intersecting.

Faint points of light occasionally shone through the cracks, like remnants of energy flowing within.

A dim halo was vaguely visible in its core region, but it wasn’t scorching. Instead, it had a cold quality, as if it were a frozen flame.

Dust and debris slowly rotated under its gravitational pull, forming a sparse ring.

The fragments would occasionally collide, creating faint vibrations, but would quickly return to silence.

The entire space seemed to be shrouded by its presence. Light grew dim here, and even time seemed to slow down.

Although Azure Flame Star was the celestial body closest to the sun, the distance between them was still extremely vast.

But for someone with Hu Qi’s power as a True God, this distance was nothing. He could arrive in a matter of moments.

"How dare you violate the oath between us! You will pay the price for what you’ve done."

Seeing this, Black Erosion was utterly enraged.

When the two of them had besieged the world’s consciousness, they had bound themselves with an oath.

Anyone who violated it, even a True God expert, would suffer a terrifying backlash.

An act like Hu Qi’s was a clear violation of that oath.

The thought brought a cold sneer to his lips.

However, after waiting for a moment,

in his line of sight,

Hu Qi’s figure was still there, and had even reached the edge of the extinguished sun.

And the power of the oath showed no signs of activating.

It was as if Hu Qi hadn’t violated the oath at all.

This situation made Black Erosion’s eyes burn with fury.

"You treacherous, oath-breaking villain!"

He didn’t understand how Hu Qi had managed to block the power of the Oath Dao.

But he knew he had been played.

He struggled frantically, wanting to free his hands to stop Hu Qi.

But he couldn’t do it.

Because the giant golden figure, the world’s consciousness, had him entangled.

For the main consciousness,

compared to the outsider heretic, Hu Qi,

dealing with Black Erosion’s rebellion was the most important matter.

If Black Erosion succeeded in its backlash,

then it would cease to exist.

"You idiot! He wants to take the Sun Core Stone! Without the Sun Core Stone, you’ll die too!"

Power surged through Black Erosion’s body.

However, no matter what he said,

the main consciousness remained completely unmoved.

From the world’s consciousness’s perspective, it was making its own judgment based on the urgency of the situation.

Black Erosion’s actions were directly threatening its existence.

Naturally, that had to be its top priority.

"He won’t escape, and neither will you! I never thought that not only would you survive being digested by me, but you would also plunder a portion of my authority! Today, I will eliminate you completely!"

The golden figure’s tone was indifferent, its voice echoing throughout this world.

At the same time, the golden vertical eye on its face snapped open.

A blazing light erupted from its entire body.

The black spots on it continuously dissolved into black smoke.

Black Erosion let out a bloodcurdling scream.

It was as if he had suffered a devastating blow.

But the next second,

even more black spots appeared.

"It’s useless. You can’t kill me. I am you now. Killing me is just harming yourself."

Black Erosion’s voice rang out, tinged with madness.

He could no longer spare any thought for Hu Qi.

If he didn’t kill the main consciousness now, the main consciousness would kill him.

He had no choice but to fight for his life.

...

Hu Qi paid little attention to the situation behind him, focused solely on advancing toward the extinguished sun.

Upon arrival, his true form vanished instantly. He then took control of Bai Kong’s physical body and, without hesitation, plunged deep into the great sun.

As he passed through, Hu Qi felt no discomfort at all. On the contrary,

he felt a sense of familiarity, like a fetus returning to the embrace of the womb’s amniotic fluid.

He knew this was due to the Sun Chaser Bloodline within Bai Kong’s physical body.

He sped all the way through, quickly reaching the sun’s inner core.

It was a crimson core.

Strange crystals grew abruptly here.

They were irregularly shaped and emitted an eerie, cold blue light, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding darkness and crimson red.

These crystals seemed to contain some kind of mysterious energy. Occasionally, arcs of electricity would leap between them, emitting a CRACKLING sound that was particularly jarring in the dead silence.

Just as Hu Qi arrived,

the twelve Sunstones reacted. As if summoned by some force, they flew out.

Hu Qi did not try to stop them, simply watching in silence.

The Sunstones merged one by one into the sun’s dead, crimson core.

The next second,

the entire sun shuddered violently. Immediately after,

a gleam of light abruptly rose from the depths of the core.

It was followed by a cataclysmic explosion of endless light and heat.

In just an instant, Bai Kong’s physical body, along with the Forbidden Mecha he was piloting, was turned to Ashes in the scorching light.

...

「Cyan Rattan Star.」

It was located two planets away from Iron Rock Star.

The planet’s surface was almost completely devoured by dark purple vegetation. Enormous trees, nearly a thousand meters tall, shot up from the ground like natural skyscrapers.
