Even Shen Yuxin, who was standing tall until now, nearly succumbed to the pressure as her knees bent down.
She resisted the pressure through her sheer will as she thought, ‘This pressure is good enough to even strengthen my foundation, after all this is not normal pressure, but pressure from Great Dao itself.’
As she thought of this, she found the will to stand against the pressure as she gritted her teeth, trying to stand straight, but her eyes widened in shock as she raised her head to see the scene before her eyes.
The Qi Vortex which just reached the height of 200,000,000 km began expanding again at a speed even crazier than before as it reached the height of 400,000,000.
The pressure in the surroundings doubled again as Shen Yuxin’s knees bent much more and she nearly kneeled down.
But even this was not enough to make her knees bend as she looked at the vortex with eyes filled with resolve to stand straight against it no matter what.
As if angered by the glare of a mortal, the Qi Vortex churned as it began expanding without limit.
500,000,000 km
600,000,000 km
700,000,000 km
As it reached 800,000,000 km of height this time, the realm stagnated, as if a storm was coming. The pressure it released all of a sudden was so much that even Shen Yuan kneeled down this time.
But the pressure didn’t do much and got reduced soon and didn’t increase again as if in consideration of her connection with Shen Yuan, otherwise both Huo Rong and Bing Rong would have died from the pressure.
But the Qi Vortex didn’t stop expanding, quite the opposite of it, it increased in size without stopping.
900,000,000 km
1,000,0000,000 km
At this size there was another change, all manifestations around the Vortex increased in size and became massive beings the size of Stars.
They became so real that it was hard to say if they were mere manifestations of Shen Yuan’s bloodline or living breathing beings.
The pressure became so much higher that even the space of the Mystique Realm which was reinforced with 8 more Hearts of the Mystique Realm began shaking as if it would break.
Shen Yuxin’s eyes widened in horror as she looked at the shaking space, she thought while looking around and feeling the space, ‘If the Qi Vortex leaves this Mystique Realm then the whole of Desolate Continent will be destroyed with this pressure, immeasurable lives will be lost.’
She thought long and hard but couldn’t come up with anything to solve the current predicament.
‘Yuan Oh Yuan, you will get your mother killed at this rate, what is this monstrous awakening ritual?’
As she continued thinking of ways to salvage the situation, the Qi Vortex continued expanding.
2,000,000,000 km
5,000,000,000 km
After crossing 10,000,000,000 km in height the Mystique Realm began breaking apart, the formations that were put in place to release the pressure to the outside seemed to fail Shen Yuxin’s expectations.
Even while the Space was breaking apart from the Mystique Realm due to the overwhelming pressure, Shen Yuan did not feel a single thing, he was still sitting in the center of the realm peacefully.
As the Qi Vortex nearly reached 100,000,000,000 km in height, the space in many parts of the Mystique Realm shattered, and the pressure began releasing into the outside world, destroying many places.
Shen Yuxin looked around at the destruction as she gritted her teeth, ‘No, I have to stop this! I can’t let this continue.’
Even though she tried to do something in this situation, but even with her will she couldn’t muster the strength to stand up.
As the Qi Vortex continued, its expansion speed kept on multiplying till it reached a height so massive that words couldn’t convey it.
At one point the realm started breaking, even the infinite Mystique Realm couldn’t bear the pressure of the Qi Vortex.
The pressure leaked into the outside world from the world fissures and brings about destruction to all of the Desolate Continent and beyond.
Both Huo Rong and Bing Rong lost consciousness long ago due to the pressure and even Shen Yuxin started losing her consciousness.
As soon as she lost consciousness the whole realm was obliterated and the Qi Vortex manifested in the outside world in all its glory.
Its limitless height stood tall with all its majesty as it nearly destroyed the whole world, the Desolate Continent was destroyed and shattered into countless pieces.
The boundless ocean outside vaporized as well, but at the last second something strange happened.
The whole world stopped moving, the oceans stopped vaporizing, the scattered continent got fixed in place, and the Qi Vortex and all its surrounding manifestations became still as a stone statue.
A strange globe of light appeared in the sky of the Desolate Continent, it was suspended in mid-air and flickering in and out of existence as if it existed and did not exist at the same time.
The being looked towards the Eastern Desolate Region as it buzzed, ‘Is this the person I was looking for all this while?’
As soon as the being saw Shen Yuan, it began to have doubts about the destined one, ‘I don’t think the one I was looking for has this much talent, I thought he would be a waste and I would have to use all means to make him into an Apex Existence, but well I shall stay with this young man for the time being and see how it all goes.’
The strange existence became intrigued as it saw the potential of Shen Yuan and decided to stay with him for a while, it thought all of this in an instant as it began to move towards Shen Yuan. The Strange Existence decided to stay with him to see what was up with this Mortal.
The strange globe of light spoke for the first time after arriving in this world as its voice felt like the Great Dao itself was speaking, “This Qi Vortex is truly impressive, the biggest Qi Vortex I have seen is around 10,000,000,000 km in size in one of the highest realms from that existence awakening ritual, and he already became a Supreme Hegemon of his Era.
Let’s see how far this one will go with a Qi Vortex as big as the endless cosmos.”
After it finished speaking, the strange globe began to move towards Shen Yuan’s position, the world was still in a motionless state, as if time was stopped, even the Qi Vortex with its seemingly limitless size was standing still without moving an inch.
The globe reached Shen Yuan’s position in an instant from the other corner of the Desolate Continent. As it arrived above the Qi Vortex. Something inside Shen Yuan moved even in that suspended world, as it was provoked by the action of that strange existence that halted the world, his bloodline began to churn as it released otherworldly pressure and the Qi Vortex began to move slowly.
The strange globe of light paused in its track, feeling confused as its power didn’t work, but even then it didn’t think much of it and used a little bit more of its power as it spoke.
“I shall reverse the time of this realm so the destruction can be reversed, I don’t want my host to think that he destroyed the realm and all his loved ones, and I think the awakening ceremony is yet to finish completely.”
As the being muttered to itself, it released a blinding brilliance and all things began reversing, rivers flowed in reverse, the sun and moon went back to their places, and the destroyed parts began rearranging themselves.
Even the Mystique Realm that was destroyed was restored, though even the effect of reversing time couldn’t affect the Qi Vortex, as the strange globe of light buzzed everything went back in place before the Qi Vortex destroyed everything.
But even this was not a solution as the globe of light spoke, “Looks like this low-level Mystique Realm can’t withstand the pressure of this level of awakening ritual.”
The strange existence thought for a second and transferred Shen Yuan to a different world, ‘He will be able to complete his awakening in this space without worry since it is absolute infinite and it can withstand any amount of pressure.’
The being decided that it was enough for now and went towards Shen Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness to settle down. As it reached its sea of consciousness the awakening ritual continued as the Qi Vortex rumbled with such intensity that it began doubling in size each second. Reaching unimaginable heights soon.
It continued for some time more until it stopped, but the Bloodline in Shen Yuan’s body churned as it began devouring the whole of Qi Vortex, but it felt that it wasn’t enough to materialize itself in the Sea of Consciousness inside Shen Yuan.
The Bloodline took on the avatar of pure darkness filled with nothing but void as if it devoured the creation itself, even the strange globe of light paused as it looked at the manifestation of the bloodline.
‘Hmm? What is this bloodline, why have I never seen anything like this before? Is thi-‘
Before it could finish its train of thought the bloodline jumped up towards the strange entity in order to devour it. But the strange entity was no joke, it conjured a barrier of indescribable things in order to stop the bloodline avatar.
But the avatar consumed even that barrier which was made with higher-order laws and continued towards the strange entity.
In response to it, the strange entity teleported back and created many more such barriers saying in a voice filled with gravity and majesty, “I don’t want to have a fight with you here, I’m merely here to observe him to see what is the deal about him.”
But even after listening to the strange entity’s voice, the avatar seemed to not hear a thing as it continued forward, breaking one barrier after another. The strange entity sighed as it formed weapons around itself.
There were Swords, Spears, Sabers, Halberds, Bow and arrows, Staff, Dagger, Axe, Whip, Hammer, Fan, and a lot more weapons formed all around the strange globe of light.
The strange existence spoke again in its majestic voice that seemed to shake the heavens as it contained a hint of rage in it as if conveying ‘How dare a mere ant try to shake the heavens’.
“Stop this nonsense before I decide to eradicate you.”
All weapons pointed at the avatar of the bloodline as the strange globe of light waited for a response.
But the response it got was an even frenzied avatar as it began breaking apart the barriers at an ever faster speed.
The strange existence became enraged, feeling insulted that a mere bloodline dared to defy an exalted being such as itself.
It released all the weapons that were already ready to shoot towards the bloodline avatar.
The bloodline avatar continued moving forward as if he didn’t see all those weapons flying toward it, all the weapons were filled with such might that each and every one of them could have destroyed the whole world outside if they were released.
But inside Shen Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness, both parties were reinforcing the place either deliberately or with sheer instinct.
Even with such might the weapons were ineffective against the avatar as it just devoured them all, it destroyed all the barriers and nearly reached the strange existence but at the last instant the strange existence teleported to a different place.
The strange existence was truly shaken this time as it didn’t know what this being was.
‘What is this bloodline, how can it devour my attacks which are infused with such a potent power of Dao.’
The strange existence calmly analyzed the situation in which he was right now. It even thought of leaving but its pride wouldn’t let it leave so easily.
The globe of light conjoined 7 massive swords and arranged them in a formation to attack.
‘This should be enough to eradicate even Immortal Emperors with mere wisps of its power. Let’s see how this avatar will dare against it.’
The avatar which had just turned around in the direction in which the strange globe teleported to and stared at the massive Sword Formation.
