Chapter 4065 A Fleeting Dream
According to the power levels in the current Infinite Land.
The most terrifying power is naturally the power of the foundation that can only be grasped after reaching the pinnacle of the Dao.
Under the power of the foundation, there are countless great powers transformed from the power of the foundation.
For example, mental power, the power of interception, the power of deception, the power of awakening, and so on, are all transformed from the power of the foundation point. This level of power is second only to the power of the foundation point.
It is the most terrifying power under the power of the foundation.
The aura of the final calamity actually reached this level as soon as it was born.
Moreover, this aura of the final calamity was not transformed by Zhang Qian using his own foundational power, but was naturally born as the great calamity began.
This is quite unusual.
"In other words, as my Qian Yuan Land was upgraded to the level above the Dao Jin, all kinds of great powers derived from the entire source land were also upgraded."
Zhang Qian seemed to understand something, and soon grasped the key to it.
After the Qian Yuan Land was upgraded, it became a source land above the level of Dao Jin. This level of source land is itself a perfect Dao Jin.
In other words, the Qian Yuan Land is an additional source of power beyond the Dao's limit for Zhang Qian. This source land can grant him an additional level of power beyond the Dao's limit.
Only by exploring the source lands at the highest levels can the power of the final calamity energy be generated.
Zhang Qian's infinite foundation point was already integrated with the Qian Yuan Land, which was the place where he created the boundless closed loop.
It is also his lair. This source land can generate the aura of the end times, and it will surely generate other great powers in the future.
Zhang Qian ignored the aura of impending doom, allowing this terrifying power to spread.
At this very moment, in the vast and boundless land of Qian Yuan, the aura of the final calamity appeared in every primordial void, and the aura of the final calamity increased rapidly.
As the primordial Dao energy gradually subsides and the Dharma-ending Age approaches, the aura of the final tribulation appears faster and faster.
This in itself is a kind of omen, a sign that the end times are coming.
In the previous instances, when the Dharma-ending Age arrived, there was no aura of impending doom because the level of the Qian Yuan Land was not high enough.
Now it is enough, but it is precisely because the levels are sufficient that this great calamity of rise and fall has become so terrifying.
Because the aura of the final tribulation is an invisible and formless force, only those who have attained enlightenment through unconventional means can vaguely perceive it.
Apart from those who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means, other powerful figures and giants only vaguely sensed it, while the weaker immortal and divine cultivators knew nothing at all.
Therefore, without anyone noticing, countless beings in the universe were corrupted by the aura of the end times.
This terrifying aura of impending doom not only corrupted countless living beings, but even eroded the universe itself.
The universe, corrupted by the aura of the end times, immediately entered a terrifying collapse.
This collapse is not the demise of the entire universe, but the annihilation of all the extraordinary and incredible miracles within it.
All the great Dao and the Heavenly Dao were silenced by the aura of the final calamity, transforming into pure rules.
Countless sages, powerful figures at the Heavenly Dao realm, and even giants at the Great Dao realm all descended to the mortal realm.
What's frightening is that their transformation into mortals is different from the previous major calamities of rise and fall; this time, their transformation into mortals directly erases everything.
Whether it was an immense, all-powerful body, an indestructible holy body, or an unbreakable will and spiritual light, all of it was reduced to nothingness under the erosion of the aura of the end times.
The aura of the final calamity was like a tidal wave washing over the boundless universe; wherever it passed, all wonder vanished, not just these powerful beings and countless immortals and cultivators, but even countless mortals were no exception.
In Zhang Qian's eyes, wherever the aura of the final calamity passed, everything fell silent, including the countless primordial voids of the One True Realm, not to mention the countless universes outside the One True Realm.
Every single one of them, everything within the universe fell silent.
No spiritual energy existed anymore. As the Qian Yuan Dao Qi fell into silence, the final tribulation energy within the countless primordial voids reached its peak.
All living beings, all life, as long as they do not attain enlightenment through other means, none of them have escaped this fate.
All living beings were completely consumed by the aura of the end times, and only their ultimate spiritual light returned to the ocean of spiritual light, floating and sinking in the depths of the ocean.
Suddenly, the Ocean of Spiritual Light became crowded.
Zhang Qian swept his gaze across the entire Qian Yuan Land and discovered that only those who had achieved Dao through unconventional means remained alive; all other living beings had been annihilated.
For these creatures, this annihilation is true death.
But for Zhang Qian, as long as their ultimate inspiration remains, they will eventually return to their original state.
This vast land of Qian Yuan is, to countless beings, nothing more than a world of mortals undergoing endless cycles of reincarnation and trials.
According to the rules set by Zhang Qian, only by achieving enlightenment through unconventional means can one truly escape the cycle of reincarnation.
If Zhang Qian were willing, he could change this fundamental rule with a mere thought, allowing him to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and completely escape the cycle of reincarnation.
But he wouldn't do that. To him, the endless cycle of reincarnation is a precious place to hone these ultimate spiritual lights. Even if they rise and fall in the endless cycle, they will ultimately benefit from it.
Unfortunately, the countless lives lost will not thank Zhang Qian.
They wouldn't mind not getting this benefit.
They were originally perfectly fine immortal cultivators, even saints, powerful beings at the Heavenly Dao Realm who ruled a world, or even the Great Dao itself that was about to transcend.
There are countless transcendent beings who have revealed the ultimate truth within them.
But when the aura of the final calamity arrived, everything they had vanished into nothingness, ultimately just a dream, a bubble!
Ultimately, the power of those at the levels of Sainthood, Heavenly Dao, Great Dao, Transcendence, and Supreme Dao are all illusions.
In the boundless realm, only those who have reached the pinnacle of enlightenment can be considered to have achieved eternal non-retrogression!
Otherwise, if Zhang Qian had just stirred up a thought, triggering a great calamity of rise and fall, everything would have returned to its original state.
In their previous lives, some were fragile mortals, some were immortals who roamed the heavens and earth, and some were giants who ruled over a world.
But after death, it transforms into ultimate light, without much difference.
At least in Zhang Qian's eyes, there was not much difference; they were all the same ultimate spiritual light.
Returning to the Ocean of Spiritual Light is equivalent to returning to the Dao, except that this Dao is Zhang Qian, the Dao of Qian Yuan.
When the new era of cultivation arrives, coupled with the fact that the Qian Yuan land has been upgraded this time, its foundation will be greatly enhanced.
A new era of cultivation has arrived. Even the ultimate spiritual light, which was once a mortal in a previous life, can rise up and have a different kind of hope of attaining enlightenment in this new era, provided they have the opportunity.
Although the previous major calamities were terrifying, they did not manifest any signs of an impending catastrophe. In the end, all that happened was that everyone became mortals.
However, during this great calamity of rise and fall, due to the aura of the final calamity, everyone died and transformed into the most fundamental ultimate spiritual light.
Moreover, the speed was extremely fast. As the Qian Yuan Dao Qi completely subsided, the Qi of the final catastrophe also engulfed all the primordial nothingness, all universes, and all living beings.
Only those who attained enlightenment through unconventional means remained, unaffected by the aura of the final calamity.
