In a pitch-black universe.
The sun, which had just been reborn and was roiling with expansion, was now showing signs of dying out once more.
And all of this, naturally, was Hu Qi's doing.
At this moment, he had revealed his true form as the Taiyu Serpent.
The terrifyingly high temperatures at the sun's core, capable of incinerating anything, had no effect on Hu Qi whatsoever.
It was no different from soaking in a hot spring.
His body slithered through it.
The sun's own energy was being endlessly devoured and absorbed by him.
Hu Qi's gaze fell upon the very center of the sun, at an object enveloped in a mass of reddish-white light.
It was the Sun Core Stone that Black Erosion had spoken of—the very Dao Rhyme Hu Qi needed to find.
However, it was currently sealed by chains formed from the dense Power of Rules.
They resisted his approach.
The sun of this world was its center, the foundation of everything.
