I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1492 - 885: Severing Karma, the Sacrifice of the Ancient Sages (Part 3)

Though the opening was not vast, merely a few meters in diameter, it sufficed for weaker, malevolent entities to breach its threshold.

What instilled greater dread was its continuous expansion; before long, it would mature into a full passage.

The Mysterious Transformation Great Power acknowledged his utter inability to alter this impending doom.

He incinerated his Divine Soul, accepting his inevitable demise.

His Divine Thought fragmented, his life force ebbing away.

The finality of death had been sealed.

Yet, prior to his end, he performed one crucial act.

He seized the fleeting chance, slipping into the newly formed world passage.

Gui Xu Taoist spoke with profound reverence.

He utilized the not-yet-complete world passage, employing his Physical Body to exert suppression upon it.

Seated cross-legged above, his form served as a bulwark against the breach.

Because the passage remained unformed and under his dominion, formidable entities from the other side were barred from entry.

Only lesser beings could occasionally filter through the fissures, making their way into our realm.

He himself, having completely immolated his Divine Soul, ceased to exist, leaving but a vestige of his consciousness within his physical form.

Gui Xu Taoist’s gaze settled upon Lu Qing, a depth of understanding in his eyes.

This, he revealed, was the genesis of the Dark Abyss.

Lu Qing remained immersed in thought for an extended period.

Understanding finally dawned upon him.

The Dark Abyss, in essence, was the passage that the Mysterious Transformation Great Power had sealed with his Physical Body.

Those Demon Fire Monsters were but the lesser beings seeping through the passage’s imperfections.

The corporeal form of the Mysterious Transformation Great Power remained there, day after year, millennium after millennium, to maintain the suppression, safeguarding this star-filled expanse from incursions by powerful otherworldly beings.

This vigil spanned epochs beyond counting.

Such an immense duration.

Lu Qing recalled the tableau within the obsidian tomb: the figure enthroned upon the White Jade Seat, half consumed by encroaching darkness, yet resolutely unyielding.

The ceaseless surge of Demonic Qi, the unending stream of monstrous entities, all emanated from that very passage.

What indomitable Will, what profound sacrifice this represented!

The ancient Cyan Dragon and his kin fell into silence, too.

Having traversed hundreds of thousands of years and considering themselves possessed of vast knowledge, the tale left them filled with an overwhelming sense of respect.

After a significant pause, Gui Xu Taoist resumed his narrative.

However, the passage held in check by the Mysterious Transformation Great Power's sacrifice was not an eternal solution.

Lu Qing's heart constricted, and he rapidly queried, "Master, what do you imply?"

Gui Xu Taoist elucidated, "As per the Will imparted by the Mysterious Transformation Great Power, the suppression of the passage using his Physical Body was intended as a temporary measure.

With the relentless march of time, his inherent strength would inevitably wane, leading to a gradual loosening of the passage's seal.

His power was sufficient only to prevent passage for beings beyond the Transformation Realm; a complete halt to the Demonic Qi's infiltration was beyond his capacity."

The Demonic Qi, therefore, continued to seep through the compromised seams of that passage.

The Demon Fire Monsters encountered within the Demon Abyss were similarly nascent beings finding egress through these very fissures.

While their individual might was limited, their sheer numbers ensured a continuous emergence.

More critically, as the passage's integrity further eroded, the formidable power of these creatures would inevitably escalate."

Gui Xu Taoist’s gaze met Lu Qing’s, his expression grave.

Any alteration within the Dark Abyss might portend dire consequences rather than benevolent change.

Lu Qing pressed, "What manner of alterations are you alluding to?"

Gui Xu Taoist elaborated, "For instance, should the Power of Darkness begin to recede, leading to a semblance of safety at the Demon Abyss's periphery.

Or, conversely, if the Demon Fire Monsters start to spill forth en masse, their corruption spreading far and wide.

Another possibility is that more potent entities might commence attempts to traverse the passage.

Such shifts could signify the passage's gradual reopening, a testament to the weakening efficacy of the Mysterious Transformation Great Power's enduring sacrifice."

He paused, allowing his words to sink in, and continued, "You recently remarked upon observing a diminished Power of Darkness within the Demon Abyss during your entry. What does this signify? It strongly suggests that transformations are underway on the other side of that passage, though discerning whether these changes herald good or ill remains uncertain."

A tremor ran through Lu Qing.

He was reminded of Qiu Ruofeng's prescient pronouncements regarding an impending cataclysm.

Could this unfolding situation be the very disaster he foretold?
