Chapter 41

The Way of Heaven has declined!

No!

It should be that the Way of Heaven has been wounded!

When Lu Qingyang saw the blood rain falling, that blood rain was stained with celestial blood.

At first, Lu Qingyang did not understand what celestial blood was, but now, sensing that sorrowful aura, he suddenly realized.

"This blood might be more aptly named celestial blood!"

"The Way of Heaven has been damaged, or rather, wounded, hence the celestial blood descends. But why has the Way of Heaven been wounded? This requires deep contemplation!"

Lu Qingyang pondered inwardly.

There must be a reason for the damage to the Way of Heaven.

Recalling his previous enlightenment of the world, besides that feeling of sorrow, there was also a sense of disgust that made him feel repulsed.

It seems that this is the main reason for the wounding of the Way of Heaven.

"Heaven and Earth might collapse!"

"Or perhaps it's an invasion from another world!"

Several guesses flashed through Lu Qingyang's mind. Whether it is the collapse of Heaven and Earth or an invasion from another world, both could lead to the wounding of the Way of Heaven and could explain the source of that repulsive aura.

Unfortunately,

At this moment, Lu Qingyang's soul power was exhausted, and he could not delve deeper into the understanding of Heaven and Earth, so he could only wait for his soul power to recover on its own.

...

The recovery of his soul power was far more difficult than Lu Qingyang had anticipated.

Several days passed, and the exhausted soul power had not recovered much.

Therefore, Lu Qingyang wanted to refine some elixirs specifically for treating soul injuries from the Heavenly Court to see if they could be of any help to him.

Regrettably,

The Heavenly Court could currently only refine up to third-grade top-tier elixirs, which, for the already fourth-grade and powerful soul of Lu Qingyang, were not entirely ineffective but had minimal effect.

Therefore, Lu Qingyang had to abandon the idea of exchanging for elixirs.

After all, relying on third-grade top-tier elixirs to recover soul damage would probably require spending tens of millions of incense offerings to achieve.

Having just upgraded the Heavenly Court to third grade, Lu Qingyang's incense offerings were already nearly exhausted.

"If it is indeed an invasion from another world, then the emergence of the beasts is just the beginning, and today Heaven and Earth might be clashing with another world."

"Every time celestial blood falls, it signifies that the damage to the Way of Heaven is getting worse."

"Until the Way of Heaven is seriously injured, even on the brink of death, or even perishes, that might be the beginning of the invasion from another world!"

Lu Qingyang's heart was extremely heavy.

He once thought that after breaking through the fourth grade, there would be no more threats in the world, and as long as he cultivated step by step, reaching the pinnacle of immortality would not be difficult.

However,

At this moment, Lu Qingyang realized he was too optimistic.

Beasts emerging due to celestial blood were already the greatest crisis for humanity.

But for the entire Heaven and Earth, the greater crisis had not yet truly arrived.

The existence that could wound the Way of Heaven, Lu Qingyang could not estimate its true cultivation level.

But one thing Lu Qingyang was certain of:

Such a powerful being was definitely not just at the fourth grade.

"If there is an invasion from another world, I must be at the forefront. The early fourth grade is far from enough; I must break through to a higher level!"

After catching a glimpse of a trace of the truth of Heaven and Earth, a strong sense of urgency surged in Lu Qingyang's heart, driving him to quickly enhance his own strength to face the possible impending crisis.

Then, Lu Qingyang thought of other aspects.

"The celestial blood baptism allows the beasts to transform, perhaps it is a way for Heaven and Earth to resist on their own. The beasts that are baptized by celestial blood thus greatly increase their strength."

"However, humans also endure the celestial blood baptism, why is there no change? This might involve differences in physique!"

Regarding the reason why humans cannot obtain transformation from celestial blood, Lu Qingyang could only attribute it to differences in physique.

However,

To say that humans have no gains in this drastic change is not entirely accurate.

Although humans cannot directly transform in celestial blood, they can gain extraordinary power by devouring the blood essence of beasts and become alternative cultivators capable of rivaling beasts.

"If there is indeed an invasion from another world, passages from the other world might appear all over the world. This matter is worth paying attention to."

"If these passages can be found and strictly guarded, perhaps the pace of the invasion from the other world can be curbed!"

With this in mind, Lu Qingyang's gaze fell on the task board of the Heavenly Court chat group.

Since the task board appeared, he had never posted any tasks, but now, this task board finally had its moment to play its role.

...

[The Way of Heaven is declining, the other world will surely appear, where in the universe might become the gateway to the other world!]

[Task requirement: Explore the true passage to the other world!]

[Task reward: One third-grade top-tier technique and one third-grade top-tier martial skill, one third-grade top-tier elixir]

[Note: Only the first person to complete the task can receive the reward]

When Lu Qingyang issued the task, everyone in the Flame Realm received a corresponding prompt in their hearts simultaneously.

Subsequently,

Everyone entered the Heavenly Court chat group, and when they saw the task content and corresponding rewards on the task board, it caused a great uproar.

...

[Lu Wen, late first grade: Oh my, an invasion from another world, is this going to be an apocalyptic event?]

[Liu Jing, mid first grade: So, the appearance of beasts is not accidental, it is highly likely to originate from that other world?]

[Su Xin, late first grade: If it is an invasion from another world, then the situation is serious!]

[Yan Haiyun, early second grade: Has anyone noticed the issue of the invasion from another world, and also seen that the task rewards are very generous?]

[Lin Lin, mid second grade: Indeed, a third-grade top-tier technique plus a martial skill, conservatively estimated to be worth a million offerings, plus a third-grade top-tier breakthrough elixir, probably worth tens of millions of offerings!]

[Someone, early first grade: Hiss, such generous rewards...]

...

As the topic shifted from the invasion of another world to the task rewards, the atmosphere in the chat group became increasingly lively.

However, some insightful individuals became extremely serious when they saw this task information.

"Invasion from another world!"

Xu Bo's face was solemn,

Although the task description was brief, the information it revealed was shocking enough.

The Way of Heaven is on the verge of collapse!

Invasion from another world!

Xu Bo sensed that once this news spread, the entire alliance's structure would be shaken.

In the past, the opponents humanity faced were only beasts, and once all the beasts were eliminated, humanity could return to the pinnacle of all things and once again dominate the world.

However, the emergence of this so-called invasion from another world now meant that the current beasts humans were fighting against might just be the appetizers before the true danger to come.

In this context, how could Xu Bo not be shocked?

Beside him, Xu Qing's bright face was also full of seriousness.

Without hesitation,

Xu Qing immediately connected the family communication talisman to convey this news back.
