Chapter 368 - 333: Trait Transformation: Crimson Sun Flame Prison, Heaven and Earth
A few smaller, unluckier worlds that appeared within the range of their battle were caught in the aftershocks, instantly crumbling into ruin.
Even if they weren’t True Gods, their power was estimated to be infinitely close to that level.
They were even somewhat stronger than Hu Qi’s own body.
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent clearly had the upper hand. Killing its opponent was only a matter of time.
Perhaps the Demon Elephant understood this as well.
That was why it had lured away the Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent—the infamous Snake of Destruction—to save its own world from a calamitous fate.
Suddenly, the scene around him grew illusory once more.
The figures of the Demon Elephant and the Three-Eyed Primordial Serpent vanished completely.
...
「In the temple.」
Hu Qi, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.
The pupils of his eyes had, at some unknown point, turned to Gold.
And behind him, the phantom of an immense Demon Elephant materialized.
HRRRMMMM!
The Demon Elephant phantom swung its trunk and roared to the heavens.
In an instant.
The dilapidated temple walls and stone platforms surrounding them turned to dust, scattering in all directions.
At the same time.
An invisible vortex formed, madly devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy and Void Power.
The winds intensified dramatically. Branches snapped, and dead leaves danced in a frenzy.
These gales were centered on Hu Qi.
They swirled in from all directions.
Just a few seconds later.
Above the mountain forest.
A massive vortex formed high above the mountain forest. The column of wind expanded rapidly, resembling an enraged Flood Dragon soaring into the highest heavens.
The violent pillar of wind connected heaven and earth. The dark clouds in the sky were instantly torn to shreds, and their tattered remnants danced in the gale. The world was plunged into Chaos.
The mountain animals nearby, such as rabbits and squirrels, were instantly swept up by the gale.
They shrieked in terror as their bodies were sent flying and tumbling uncontrollably through the air.
Boulders were torn from the ground and, along with broken branches and leaves, were sucked into the massive column of wind. They collided and scraped against one another, producing a terrifying howl.
Fortunately, the area was extremely remote, situated deep within an old-growth forest.
Moreover, it was the dead of night, when all was still, so no one witnessed the scene.
At this moment, in the very eye of this massive tornado...
...the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy and the Void Power funneled down, pouring entirely into the body of the cross-legged Hu Qi.
RUMBLE—!!
However, at that very moment.
A web of lightning suddenly erupted across the night sky.
A deep, muffled boom shook the heavens and the earth.
"Hmm?"
As if sensing something, Hu Qi looked up.
The next second.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, resembling a giant golden python, shot down from the night sky and struck Hu Qi directly.
Immediately after, a relentless barrage of destructive lightning rained down upon the mountaintop where Hu Qi was.
The commotion was immense.
It was clearly visible even from a hundred kilometers away.
Ordinary people were jolted from their sleep, their faces filled with terror as they stared at the distant sky, now completely covered in lightning.
This was true even for the Dream Masters who wielded Dream Eyes.
Some of the closer Dream Masters...
...even discovered that their normally restless Dream Eyes had fallen deathly silent, as if they had ceased to exist.
For a time, all they could do was stare in horror at the terrifying scene unfolding in the night sky, completely unaware of what was happening.
...
「At the original location.」
Hu Qi’s figure was engulfed by the blinding lightning. All the surrounding trees and rubble were annihilated by the power it contained.
Hu Qi made no attempt to dodge the ceaseless lightning. Instead, a terrifying suction force emanated from his body.
...absorbing every last bolt.
The thunder continued for nearly ten minutes before finally subsiding.
At the spot where the mountain forest once stood.
As far as the eye could see...
...the entire forest—the trees, the very soil—had vanished.
The once thousand-meter-high mountain had been sheared down by several layers.
It was now nothing more than a small, slightly raised hillock.
Faint white smoke drifted through the air.
The ground was scorched black, as if seared by immense heat. There were even streams of dark red magma flowing slowly across it.
"How petty. I absorb a little bit of Primordial Energy, and I get blasted for ten minutes."
Hu Qi’s entire body was charred black. His clothes had been completely annihilated in the process, leaving him standing there, completely naked.
Faint blue arcs of electricity still crackled across the surface of his skin.
Hu Qi paid it no mind.
With a slight tremor of his Qi and Blood, the charred outer shell on his body flaked off, revealing unblemished, bronze-colored skin beneath.
Just then, a long black robe draped itself over his body.
Twisted threads lined the robe’s collar and cuffs, glowing with an oily, green phosphorescence. Staring at them for too long would induce a dizzying, nauseating sensation.
Clearly, this robe was also a Dream Eye.
Hu Qi focused on the changes within his body.
His flesh and blood, muscles and bones, organs, and even his skin had all turned golden, as if forged from Gold. On top of that, they were covered by a layer of golden flames.
On a more microscopic level...
...the cells in his body were astonishingly active, each one containing terrifying power.
It seemed he could now recover from any injury in an instant.
And within a very small portion of those cells were streaks of a dark, cold power.
Those were the Dream Eyes, and the cells, to a certain extent, acted as individual cages, imprisoning them.
As time passed, these Dream Eyes were steadily diminishing, burned to nothing and thoroughly absorbed by the Crimson Sun Flame Fire within him.
Pulling his thoughts back to the present.
Hu Qi’s gaze fell upon the panel before him.
