The Growth of a God

Chapter 849 - 7: Supreme Treasure of Ascension

Ascension Area, near the massive world cluster where Emperor Jiang resides.

This is an inconspicuous forbidden zone in the Ascension Area, a place of disaster that turns the multitude of worlds around it pale with dread.

Every moment, Emperor Jiang devours the worlds approaching him, and more worlds are captured by his power in the next instant.

Yet, unnoticed by Emperor Jiang, a ray of Xuanhuang light flickered and vanished.

That ray of Xuanhuang light concealed all its causal links.

Even the God of Destiny, capable of peeking into fate, couldn’t trace its movements, let alone Emperor Jiang, who is solely focused on satisfying his hunger.

"Is this the destination?"

As Li Hao emerged from the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar world.

Endless gloom shrouded the sky, and the light of the sun and moon had already dimmed.

This isn’t a metaphor, but rather a true depiction of the current state.

Gazing up at the sky, the sun, moon, and stars still revolve according to their usual patterns, yet they no longer emit light and heat.

It is the afterglow after being burned out, the corpses of the sun, moon, and stars.

From the sun, moon, and stars emanated a haze silently covering the entire earth.

Enveloped in this endless gloom, Li Hao couldn’t even discern what lay three meters ahead.

"A world nearing destruction?"

A ray of Xuanhuang light flashed in his eyes.

Li Hao used the divine technique of the Xuanhuang Immortal True Body for the first time.

This is a celestial eye that sees through all, allowing him to penetrate the endless gloom and grasp the true appearance of this world.

Then, Li Hao was astonished to find this world far more bizarre than he had imagined.

Because the place he now stands in is a fantastical and eerie locale.

Here is a mountain range, a city, and moreover, a living organism.

Cement-like concrete pours along the entire mountain range, forming a towering wall with no end in sight.

One end is linked to the end of the mountain range, while the other meanders beyond the observable horizon.

Within this mountain range cast in steel and concrete.

Vegetation has entirely vanished, replaced by a kind of flesh and blood organism.

These flesh and blood organisms carpet the entire mountain range like a fungal blanket, proliferating and dividing, while sprouting shaking tendrils like trees.

If not for the occasionally opening eye-like or fang-like structures at their tips, one might wrongly assume they are merely the flora of this world.

With remarkable vision, Li Hao, after seeing through the essence of these flesh and blood organisms, soon made further discoveries.

"Is that?"

Within the concrete-poured mountain range, beneath areas covered by flesh and blood organisms.

Various cannons, trenches, fortresses, hospitals, factories, kitchens, and even energy stations can be vaguely discerned along with their original structures and functions.

Through the pipelines established between the mountains, a vehicle Li Hao has never seen connects the entire mountain range.

When Li Hao attempted to leap and gaze afar, he was even shocked to discover structures resembling incinerators, oil refineries, and hydroelectric hubs.

Adding to the faintly visible terraces, graveyards, and farms, Li Hao could easily picture the thriving beings that once lived here.

Unfortunately, after being covered by flesh and blood organisms, everything here became ruinous.

"Is this the Destruction World Hua She spoke of?"

After brief contemplation, Li Hao reached this conclusion.

Hua She acquired the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda from a decayed world.

And now, he has been sent by the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda to such an eerie world.

To be honest, it’s hard not to make such a connection.

Moreover, if the unknown Qi Refiner truly ascended to this world through the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.

Then ascending to the same world through the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda himself seems only natural.

However, this brings forth another question.

Why did the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda bring both ascenders to this world?

Also, what happened in this world?

Why does everything appear so bizarre?

"Chaos God... Emperor Jiang?"

Thinking this way, Li Hao suddenly looked up at the extinguished stars.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the world’s barrier, seeing the ineffable presence greedily devouring endless worlds.

This world is actually not far from the position of that Chaos God.

But between them exists a peculiar balance, preventing it from being swallowed by Emperor Jiang.

"Should this world already be devoid of ’Civilization Game’ users?"

With such puzzlement and confusion, Li Hao proactively stepped towards the steel-cast and flesh-covered mountain range.

During this process, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda sank into Li Hao’s dantian, continuously releasing that elusive Xuanhuang Qi.

At this moment, Li Hao experienced another wondrous use of this Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.

He need not actively cultivate or circulate the Xuanhuang Qi within his body.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda acts like a true core, interacting and circulating Xuanhuang Qi within Li Hao.

Each interaction amplifies Xuanhuang Qi, each cycle fortifies Li Hao’s body.

There’s no need for deliberate circulation, nor does it select particular types of Primordial Qi...

At this moment, Li Hao is like a true Primordial Qi black hole, absorbing all types of Primordial Qi he can reach.

Subsequently, the complex Primordial Qi is transformed by the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda into Xuanhuang Qi directly usable by Li Hao.

With the help of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, Li Hao’s Xuanhuang Immortal True Body is rapidly increasing in quality.

As for the Xuanhuang Qi that constantly envelops Li Hao like mist?

That is merely a byproduct of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda aiding Li Hao’s cultivation, incidentally concealing his form.

Step! Step! Step!

Under the shield of Xuanhuang Qi, Li Hao walked leisurely yet steadily towards the mountain range.

The flesh and blood organisms covering the mountain range seemed completely unaware of Li Hao’s presence, continuing their movement nonchalantly.

Only when Li Hao genuinely touched certain tendrils would their tips suddenly open into eyes or fangs.

Unfortunately, the derivatives of these flesh and blood organisms can only do just that.

In face of the transcendent Li Hao, these bizarre derivatives are ultimately just mere flesh and blood.

Let alone attacking Li Hao, they couldn’t even notice him under the protection of Xuanhuang Qi.
