Chaos Divinity

The Primordial Chaos Qi is the origin of all things.

In the beginning of time, there were no humans or beings in the world, hence the term "chaos."

After the creation of the primordial chaos, the heavens and earth began to revolve, the celestial phenomena began to run, the summer heat came and the winter cold went, and the two parts followed the same path.

As that immense pressure descended, Li Qi felt it... pure chaos, as if everything had been compressed together, forming a violent, raging mass of chaos!

All qi originates from this.

All matter originates from this place.

The void is empty and without substance, yet it originates from the beginning of time. There is something mixed together, born before heaven and earth, which is the first qi, the earliest qi, the ancestor of all qi.

It's like... that little deity named Xinluo, with such high purity, but this one isn't just high in purity, the quantity is also terrifyingly large! The Law Power on this being seems capable of easily tearing apart countless world groups!

Li Qi couldn't even imagine where Martial Dao Inner Qi came from.

How many worlds did it actually consume?

If we use hundreds of millions as the unit of measurement, is that enough?

That's probably not enough.

It would take at least tens of billions of worlds to be completely devoured and digested in order to condense such a large amount of Martial Dao Inner Qi!

Li Qi was deeply shocked. At the same time, as the other party descended, he began to feel his own microcosm trembling violently, his heavenly gate shaking, his earth axis swaying, and the ancestor of his primordial Primal Qi and the foundation of heaven and earth seemed to be broken down into Martial Dao Inner Qi.

Wait, just then—

Li Qi suddenly thought of Shen Yijun.

Why would Shen Yijun, a descendant of an Orthodox God of the Heavenly Court, cultivate martial arts? And he seems to have an extremely high talent for martial arts.

Why are the deities of the Ziwei Heavenly Court lineage in the form of a mass of Martial Dao Inner Qi?

Moreover, the Method Formula he used to enter the Great Fire was given to him by Shen Yijun. In other words, this thing was originally meant for Shen Yijun, which is why it has the properties of Martial Dao Inner Qi.

But... is this really Martial Dao Inner Qi?

Suspicion arose in Li Qi's heart.

As a Shaman, Li Qi was capable of generating Martial Dao Inner Qi. After learning the 'Flow' technique, he could artificially create Martial Dao Inner Qi. He had used this technique before to gain an advantage in his battle against the Demon Prince. (See Chapter 464 for details)

From any perspective, this is Martial Dao Inner Qi. It is so intense and chaotic, as if all the energy has been forcibly squeezed together, losing its original properties and turning into completely uniform magma.

But...

Li Qi always felt that his Martial Dao Inner Qi was somewhat lacking compared to the Great Things that had descended before him.

What is it? What is it?

What exactly is it?

Li Qi couldn't figure it out, so he prepared to ask.

Just as he was about to speak—

The colossal being descending from the sky suddenly revealed a trace of its aura and launched an attack on Li Qi.

The sudden attack caught Li Qi completely off guard. The Shaman's combat talent and instincts were on full display at this moment, as he was hit squarely by something that looked like Martial Dao Inner Qi!

With a loud bang!

Li Qi was completely shattered!

His left hand was severed at the root, and his other hand had only three fingers left. His abdomen was a huge hole, with most of his internal organs gone. You could see half of his lungs twitching, and you could vaguely see his heart inside!

Through the hole in his chest, you could see that even his spine was broken, and his lower body was completely numb. But even if he still had some feeling, it was useless, because his knees and shinbones were a bloody mess, and it was impossible for him to continue moving.

With such severe injuries, he should have died at any moment.

Fortunately, Li Qi is a sixth-rank official, so these injuries are not enough to kill him instantly.

Almost instantly, his soul left his body, carrying his inner world with him, abandoning his physical body.

Immediately afterwards, under the control of the divine soul, the matter in the inner world surged out and quickly constructed a brand new body.

This is not without cost.

The physical body and the inner world are inherently closely connected. The previous attack not only damaged the physical body, but also caused great damage to Li Qi's inner world!

He was barely clinging to life, and the Martial Dao Inner Qi was constantly devouring his inner world.

Within his inner world, like a swarm of bees, these Martial Dao Inner Qi were crushing his Five Sacred Mountains and Four Rivers, devouring his Inner Gods...

How can I describe it?

This is probably what it looks like when nanorobots go berserk.

The entire inner world was constantly being devoured, constantly being transformed into the opponent's power. It devoured, then split and multiplied, and then continued to devour, in an endless cycle.

Even though he reconstructed a body, he was still suffering continuous damage from this devouring process, and it would probably only take ten seconds to kill him.

Li Qi quickly swallowed a pill to replenish his energy and recover from his injuries.

However, this only extended his life by a few seconds, because the devouring seemed endless and would continue as long as he lived.

If the opponent finishes off Li Qi will die instantly.

However, the opponent only made one move and did not pursue.

Therefore, Li Qi seized this opportunity. He used the method of circulation to condense his Martial Dao Inner Qi, then merged it with the external Martial Dao Inner Qi, and finally diluted it. He then carried the external Martial Dao Inner Qi and, after a few seconds, finally expelled it all by gathering it at his fingertips!

The moment it was expelled, Li Qi's fingertips exploded, a sharp and clear sound came from the air, the air vibrated, and a bright wave of air could be vaguely seen cutting through the void in front of him with a hiss, carving out a chasm thousands of miles long in the chaos above!

However, if it is called an insurmountable barrier, that is only from Li Qi's own perspective.

Thousands of miles away, it's less than a hair on the other side's body.

They're not even in the same league.

The opponent is at least a fourth-rank!

A fourth-rank True God! A legitimate deity, seemingly from the Ziwei Heavenly Court lineage.

Li Qi exhaled a breath of stale air. His injuries were still very serious, but fortunately, his opponent did not finish him off.

Having used all his strength to neutralize the opponent's casual attack, Li Qi felt that he had done enough to boast about; at least 99% of sixth-rank cultivators couldn't do it.

However, before Li Qi could even feel relieved or have time to communicate with the other party, another burst of Martial Dao Inner Qi descended in the next instant.

Light fragments rained down like the end of the world.

Among them were many strange phenomena, first life, the sea, the continent, and finally an entire world that was vast and boundless.

But in the next instant, these things became completely disordered, mixed together, and a chaotic mass surged forth and crashed down.

This time, Li Qi had a sufficient response!

His Dharma form unfolds, supporting countless Buddhist Heavens!

But then, one could see the Buddhist Heavens unfolding layer upon layer, forming Great Radiance cloud platform in the upper sky, from which flowed eighty-four thousand kinds of light, in the colors of five hundred billion mixed lotus flowers, reflecting on the crystal ground like a hundred million suns, with countless pavilions and towers made of a hundred treasures. On both sides of the platform, there were a million splendid banners and countless musical instruments, for adornment, which could not be seen in its entirety.

Li Qi used the spiritual light wielded by the White Chen Fox King Bodhisattva to manifest his Movement Method nature through the Buddhist Heavens, revealing the "All Four Are Empty," and using the four elements to transcend chaos, wanting to use the crushing power of essence to push away this chaos!

Even chaos must follow the principles of the world. As long as there are physical things, they cannot escape the constraints of the "Four Elements": Earth Fire, wind, and water!

Some beings live and dwell on earth, water, fire, and wind, while others live and dwell on the sky, as well as various plants and trees. All kinds of beings, all kinds of bodies, all kinds of shapes, all kinds of appearances, all kinds of lifespans, all kinds of races, all kinds of names, all kinds of minds, all kinds of knowledge, and all kinds of desires and pleasures are eliminated!

This time, the suppressed chaos was once again pushed aside.

But Li Qi didn't even have time to breathe before the third attack came from above!

But this time, it was no longer ordinary chaotic Martial Dao Inner Qi.

Instead, it is... an ordered chaos.

Yes, it's strange, but that's the truth.

Orderly, and even... capable of transforming into even more forms.

These 'orderly' chaos are filled with the aura of ancient times and vastness. They contain the great wilderness, bursts of light, and countless gray mists drift in the space. Then, the gray mists gather together.

They attacked and devoured each other, stirring up raging waves of earth, water, wind, and fire, as if the world were being destroyed. The earth, water, wind, and fire collapsed, turning into chaos and nothingness.

Amidst that chaos, Li Qi even faintly heard sounds.

"Thump, thump." It sounded like a huge drum being struck hard with a heavy hammer.

"Boom boom." The drumbeats grew heavier and louder!

"Thump thump thump thump thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!" Then the frequency increased rapidly! It even made a sound like thunder!

That's—a heartbeat!

Suddenly, a powerful pressure surged from the ground, like a ferocious beast being released. The power emanating from it could even be felt on the ground!

The shockwave fell like mercury, causing everything it touched to expand and deform, then emitting white smoke, leaving behind a pile of black, charcoal-like matter. All the strange phenomena and heavens supported by Li Qi's Dharma Image were overturned, the ground sank, and a deep scratch was born from the explosion site, like a bottomless abyss.

Within this chaos, new matter and energy are constantly being born, causing everything around to dance and fluctuate. The newly born energy immediately expands to its most perfect state, like a ripe fruit, before bursting and returning to the surrounding chaos.

Then, new ones were born.

It goes on and on, just like life.

In such a vigorous and explosive cycle of life, even the heavens could not bear it, and the Buddhist Heavens, the so-called 'Four Great Elements,' were also crushed by chaos.

Amidst these fluctuations, Li Qi sensed the same vitality and energy he had initially felt at the 'Great Fire' outside.

However, this vitality was filled with malice towards him.

Li Qi used every means at his disposal to resist wave after wave of the ever-falling chaos.

He used every trick in the book—shamanism, Buddhism, philosophy, Daoism, and even all sorts of unorthodox methods—to repel ten attacks, exhausting all his wisdom!

However, although ten times is a lot, the entire battle actually lasted less than two minutes.

Another attack followed, and this time, Li Qi was completely overwhelmed. All the major acupoints on his body ruptured, leaving him covered in blood and rapidly losing his Qi and Blood.

Now he was really panicked.

Is this thing really trying to kill him?!

Originally, Li Qi thought this was some kind of test, so he tried his best to resist it.

Now that things have come to this, he has used every trick in the book, but the other party still shows no sign of stopping, and he may really die here.

"Damn it..." Li Qi cursed.

Even if he were to die, he wouldn't just sit and wait to perish; he would at least preserve his true spirit so that he could be reincarnated!

Thinking this, Li Qi directly released the restrictions of his personal microcosm, no longer caring about the internal struggle within his body, and unleashed his full power!

At the same time, he broke the seal on True Knowledge Dao Charm.

He didn't really want to, after all, he wanted to understand 'true courage' before unsealing himself.

But now, he's about to die, what's the point of worrying about anything else!

The long-lost True Knowledge Dao Charm unfolded, sweeping across the surroundings.

In that instant, Li Qi suddenly froze.

He felt that time... seemed to have stood still.

True Knowledge Dao Charm Zhiyun clearly fed all the information around him into his brain, and his long-empty mind immediately felt a long-lost sense of fulfillment. Countless pieces of information began to be instinctively categorized.

The first thing to deal with is the attack from above.

Li Qi was able to sense those chaotic 'Martial Dao Inner Qi'.

It turned out that it wasn't Martial Dao Inner Qi, but countless tiny crystals that gathered together and then condensed into a mist-like substance that fell like hailstones.

Wherever this Chaos Qi passes, everything is swallowed up, turning into a vacuum.

That was a true vacuum, not just a lack of air, but a complete absence of all gas and matter, devoured entirely.

Afterwards, air from other places rushed towards this area to fill the vacuum, but just like the previous air, it was swallowed up the moment it entered and became part of the small crystal.

The cavity grew larger and larger, so much so that the air rushed in faster and faster. The rapidly flowing air emitted a mournful cry of wind over a radius of thousands of miles, and howling gales began to form vortices. It even seemed as if the sky was about to be forcibly torn down.

Li Qi seemed somewhat stunned.

The influx of such a massive amount of information seemed to have caused his brain to freeze, leaving him rooted to the spot.

But... that's not actually the case.

Li Qi had only discovered the secret of 'chaos'. The long-lost True Knowledge Dao Charm provided countless pieces of information. At this moment, his decades of accumulated knowledge on Wushen Mountain, combined with countless data, had led to a qualitative change.

Li Qi then realized that all that information was not useless; on the contrary, it could highlight different situations.

In that instant, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

The gods of the Star Official lineage are the world.

The Heavenly Court lineage is the 'original'.

Is it possible that martial arts is simply an imitation of the 'original'?

Martial Dao Inner Qi is essentially a degraded version of the Primordial Chaos Qi.
