"Indeed, this place truly deserves its reputation as the origin of all things, where saints from all over gather. It's simply astounding," one of the saints remarked in awe.
"Coming to the Origin Continent was the right choice. Only here do we stand a chance of progressing further," another added, excitement evident in their voice.
The group buzzed with enthusiasm as they marveled at the continent's immense energy. "I can already feel my bottleneck weakening," one exclaimed, while others nodded in agreement. The energy of the Origin Continent was incomparable, far surpassing any sacred land they had previously encountered.
"Origin energy..." Furukawa muttered, sensing the dense and potent energy that permeated the air. This energy was far more powerful than chaotic energy, akin to the very source of creation. As he inhaled deeply, he felt his power increasing rapidly, the boundless origin energy flowing into him, strengthening him by the second. It was as if this energy was inexhaustible, constantly replenishing itself.
He recalled the memories of powerful beings who had previously left the Origin Continent. Cultivating here was akin to consuming sacred medicine for countless years, a continuous and unending source of power. Even an ordinary being could ascend to the Realm of Immortality almost instantly in this environment, and even a lazy creature like a pig could reach the level of a Quasi-Saint.
But while the energy here could rapidly elevate one's Cultivation Base, the real challenge lay in comprehending the Dao Laws. Without this comprehension, no amount of energy could push one past their limits. This was why many powerful beings chose to leave the Origin Continent and venture into the chaotic void to further their understanding.
"There's so much gravity here," one of the saints remarked, his voice tinged with surprise. The gravity on the Origin Continent was overwhelming, making it difficult even for those who had mastered the Nine Dao Laws to move. The very air was heavy, each breath weighed billions of times more than in other universes. For ordinary beings, this environment would be lethal, crushing them instantly.
"It's not just the weight; the void laws here are too strong. We can't break through the space to fly," another saint noted, attempting to teleport but failing. The laws of the Origin Continent were too dense, like chaos solidified, making it impossible to breach space for travel. In their universes, these saints could teleport across vast distances effortlessly, but here, they were grounded.
"If we can't fly, how can we leave the continent?" one saint asked, panic creeping into his voice. The realization that they were trapped without their usual abilities began to set in. The Origin Continent, vast and seemingly endless, was a cage that could imprison even the most powerful saints.
"It seems that only those who reach the Realm of Hongmeng Saint can fly here," a saint observed gravely. They were now at the mercy of the continent's immense power, unable to break free.
Furukawa, however, was unfazed. He had expected this, knowing from previous memories that the laws of the Origin Continent were absolute. The very plants and trees were infused with the power of the Dao Law, making them nearly indestructible. Many saints who ventured here would never leave unless they ascended to the Realm of the Universe Lord.
The only way out was through a super teleportation array built by the universe masters of the Origin Continent, which could transport beings from the continent to the chaotic void. But the cost of using this array was exorbitant, so high that most saints would only consider leaving if they had no other choice.
"What's this?" Furukawa's attention was suddenly drawn to the distance, where figures began to materialize in the void, approaching at incredible speed. These beings radiated immense power, their auras exuding dominance and authority.
Within moments, Furukawa and the other saints found themselves surrounded by these newcomers, many of whom had reached the Saint Realm of Hongmeng. The air grew tense as these powerful beings, armed with formidable weapons, encircled them without hesitation.
Furukawa's eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. He could sense the hostility in the air, and it was clear that these uninvited guests had no friendly intentions. The saints who had arrived with him also noticed this, though they took some solace in their numbers.
However, they were all newcomers to the Origin Continent, unfamiliar with the customs and rules of this strange land. They had no idea what these powerful beings wanted or how they intended to interact.
"There seem to be too many of them," one of the old men among the new arrivals commented.
"It doesn't matter. We can use the Multi-World Splitting Technique to separate them. Their numbers won't matter then," another old man replied, his voice cold and calculating.
"It's their bad luck to have encountered the Baili Clan right after entering the Origin Continent," a tall, imposing figure said lightly. "Let's teach these Universe Sea creatures a lesson."
The situation was growing increasingly perilous, and Furukawa knew they would have to be very careful in dealing with these hostile newcomers.
