604: Sacrifice

Li Qi knew that once the manifestation space was contaminated by the mist, one could not enter it recklessly, as there was great danger within.

However, many people did not know this.

"Hmm?"

"What is going on?"

"My Dao manifestation... has actually started to fog up?"

Some Dao Source Realm experts felt puzzled upon seeing this mist, but they did not pay it any mind, and the faint sense of weirdness within the mist was ignored by them as well.

When these people approached their own Dao manifestation, a sudden change occurred; mist tentacles appeared instantly, wrapping around their consciousness bodies.

Some unlucky ones were dragged directly into the depths of the mist.

"What is going on!!"

"What exactly are these mists?"

"Why... *cough cough*... is... *cough cough cough cough*..."

A large amount of mist poured into the mouths and noses of these Dao Source Realm consciousness bodies, like a river flowing backward.

And the consciousnesses of these Dao Source Realm experts also began to change.

From the initial pain and struggle, it turned into confusion... and finally, it actually turned into enjoyment.

The expressions of these consciousness bodies had completely changed, as if they were different people!

More and more mist invaded their bodies, and they no longer resisted, instead inhaling the eerie mist like a storm!

Not long after, a glimmer of gray light flashed in the eyes of these consciousness bodies, as if gray-white mist was surging within them.

Blinking, the gray light in their eyes gradually faded away, leaving no further anomalies.

Their expressions were no longer strange; they became exactly as they were before, and outsiders could no longer detect anything unusual.

"Hehehe..."

"This feeling... is really good..."

"The time has come, let us begin..."

"Everything for the Limit Lord!"

With a gentle movement, these consciousnesses, eroded and twisted by the mist, broke free from the mist's restraints, easily shaking them off...

...

In the secret chamber, Li Qi began to comprehend with all his might.

With his current reserves of Potential Points, he could comprehend one of the Three Thousand Great Daos approximately every three or four days; in other words, if given another month, he would be able to master the final ten of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

"Faster..."

His System was running at full speed at all times, and Li Qi himself was constantly comprehending the dao ancient book.

Before this, Li Qi had discovered that if he and the System comprehended and parsed the Three Thousand Great Daos on the dao ancient book together, the speed at which he acquired the Three Thousand Great Daos would increase significantly.

After all, a dual-core, dual-threaded operating method... would always be much faster than a single-core, single-threaded one!

[Parsing complete!]

[You have acquired a new Three Thousand Great Dao... Giant Spirit Dao!]

[...]

[Parsing complete!]

[You have acquired a new Three Thousand Great Dao... Heavenly Heart Dao!]

[...]

[Parsing complete!]

[You have acquired a new Three Thousand Great Dao... Taiyi Dao!]

[...]

System notifications flashed before Li Qi's eyes one after another, and Li Qi's strength was increasing at a terrifying speed.

Li Qi's increase in strength had never stopped... and at this moment, it was like a fountain gushing forth!

As Li Qi mastered more and more of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the distance between Li Qi and the Dao became closer and closer. He saw the Dao with his own eyes more and more frequently, and sometimes Li Qi even had the illusion that the Dao was right before his eyes!

Just as Li Qi was continuously increasing his strength, more terrifying changes appeared outside...

...

Many Dao Source Realm experts had gone mad; they began to indiscriminately attack every target they saw!

As long as it was alive, as long as it was something that could move, everything was a target for these Dao Source Realm experts!

In the Origin Realm, in a hidden valley, a terrible scene was taking place.

On the open ground in the valley, runes were carved with fresh blood, forming a huge array diagram; it was clearly a ritual to sacrifice the Child of the Great Path to the Dao!

But few people knew that this ritual could not only be used to sacrifice the Child of the Great Path... but could also be used to sacrifice all living beings!

And on this sacrificial ritual diagram carved with blood, it was already piled with corpses.

The corpses were layered, piled into a mountain of corpses!

Before this mountain of corpses, a figure stood silently... it was actually a Dao Ancestor!

This Dao Ancestor's clothes had long been soaked through with blood, and his entire body emitted a pungent scent of blood; at this moment, he was like a blood-bathed demon god, and astonishing killing intent radiated from him.

Right by this Dao Ancestor's feet, a man, heavily injured and dying, crawled slowly on the ground. He struggled to reach the Dao Ancestor's side, his hands gripping the Dao Ancestor's ankle tightly, shouting hoarsely.

"Brother... why... did you do this?!?"

However, this Dao Ancestor just looked down at the man indifferently, gray light flickering in his eyes, then stomped down, breaking the heavily injured man's waist, and kicked him into the mountain of corpses...

Such a terrifying and tragic scene was playing out all over the world...
