Slain a Hundred Million Times, Dao Concepts
Liu Yi watched as the Devil Saint Kongming reshaped his Dao Body once again, showing no surprise whatsoever.
As the Ruler, he knew all too well the difficulty of killing a Ruler of the same level.
He immediately raised his hand and unleashed a powerful palm strike.
The palm print transformed into a great millstone, enveloping the entire universe and firmly locking down time and space.
Wherever the palm strike passed, all laws dissolved and the Great Dao collapsed. The Devil Saint Kongming, who had just recovered, was once again blasted apart, and most of his physical body turned into ashes.
However, Devil Saint Kongming recovered in an instant, showing no signs of weakness.
Just as it began to take shape, a palm print that blotted out the sky descended.
Its face darkened, and before it could dodge, its Dao Body was shattered once again, and most of its physical body was obliterated.
After several exchanges, Liu Yi watched as his opponent was repeatedly defeated, yet always managed to recover unscathed.
He realized that such attacks alone were not enough to completely kill it.
He unleashed the World in the Palm, a phantom world that enveloped all directions, effortlessly gathering all the scattered remains of flesh and blood within it.
Within the World in the Palm, the Great Dao of the World evolved into a millstone, grinding away the flesh and blood of the Devil Saint Kongming and the Great Dao itself.
Liu Yi activated time acceleration, and in the blink of an eye, ten billion years had passed in the World in the Palm.
The Devil Saint Kongming's flesh and blood remains, along with the Great Dao, trapped in the World in the Palm, were completely obliterated.
However, in the next instant, a wisp of Chaos Qi gently swirled around, and the figure of the Devil Saint Kongming once again manifested in the chaos.
A mocking smile curled across its face, "Even if you could defeat me, so what?"
You can't kill me.
"Having reached our level, as long as my concept of the Great Dao of Kongming still exists in this world, we are immortal and indestructible, eternally existing!"
"Oh? Is that so? Then I'd really like to try and see if I can actually kill you."
There is no true eternity or immortality in this world. Even the world itself will one day perish, and even the boundless Chaos Sea will one day be Destruction.
In the vast Chaos Sea, you and I are but a drop in the ocean; the so-called immortality and eternal life are ultimately just empty words.
Today I will see just how many times you can be resurrected.
A disdainful sneer curled at the corner of Liu Yi's lips.
He never believed in the existence of eternal and immortal beings.
So-called immortality is nothing more than not having encountered a powerful being capable of annihilating them, or not having found a way to completely destroy them.
Now is the perfect opportunity to personally test just how difficult it is to slay a Devil Saint.
He unleashed a punch, once again clashing with the Devil Saint Kongming.
Not long after, he destroyed it again and then put it into his World in the Palm.
Within the world, the flames of the Great Dao raged, burning the other side, trying to destroy all traces of its existence and the concept of the Great Dao.
At the same time, Liu Yi swept away the surroundings, obliterating all the Chaos Qi and erasing all traces and concepts related to the Devil Saint Kongming.
Just after he completely obliterated the Devil Saint Kongming, the opponent reappeared from the void, completely unharmed.
Next, Liu Yi continued to attack, repeatedly killing him a total of one hundred million times.
However, each time, the Devil Saint Kongming can always be resurrected and return from the Long River of Time, the void, the Great Dao, the Chaos Qi, mountains and rivers, plants and living beings, and even the memories of all living beings.
It can be said that as long as the concept of the Great Dao of Kongming exists in the world, it can continuously reshape itself and be reborn.
Liu Yi gazed at the reborn Devil Saint Kongming and did not launch another attack.
After being repeatedly erased a hundred million times, he could clearly sense that the opponent's Dao essence was severely damaged and his strength had declined considerably, but his foundation was still unharmed.
He tried a hundred million methods to kill it, but still could not completely eliminate it.
Continuing to fight is pointless.
Even though he could easily defeat it, he could never completely kill it, and would only waste his own Law Power in vain.
The boundless Chaos Sea is vast and limitless; no one can say for sure in which hidden corner the Great Dao concept left behind by the Devil Saint Kongming still exists.
Even if you kill the Devil Saint Kongming in front of you, he can still easily revive.
Moreover, with the Myriad Devils Realm as its foundation, it doesn't need to rely on the concept of the Great Dao left in the boundless Chaos Sea to be resurrected.
Only by erasing all concepts of the Great Dao belonging to the Devil Saint Kongming in an instant can one truly slay him.
At this moment, Liu Yi suddenly understood why the Mysterious Firmament Realm, with only four Ruler, was able to restrain the seven Devil Saint of the Myriad Devils Realm.
Besides their Ruler combat power, the fact that the Ruler is immortal and extremely difficult to completely kill is also a key factor.
The seven Devil Saint also had their own reservations.
They feared that they would completely anger the four Ruler, and were willing to risk the Heavenly Dao Origin Curse to destroy the Myriad Devils Realm.
Ultimately, it resulted in a lose-lose situation.
The original intention of the seven Devil Saint was to allow the Myriad Devils Realm to annex the Mysterious Firmament Realm, complete its accumulation, and advance to Infinite Multiverse, not to fight the Ruler to the death.
Seeing Liu Yi stop his attack, Devil Saint Kongming breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if the battle continues, the opponent cannot completely kill him, but being repeatedly worn down will still continuously deplete his own Dao essence.
Moreover, being killed repeatedly by various means is a form of torture, even if one survives.
However, it refused to back down verbally, revealing a cold smile on its face.
"What? You've stopped? You're not planning to continue? I told you long ago, you can't kill me."
Liu Yi saw through the other party's pretense at a glance, and couldn't help but curl his lip, his tone carrying a hint of mockery:
"Your hobby is quite peculiar; you actually enjoy courting death. In that case, let's continue the fight."
Before he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand, assuming a posture as if he was about to launch an attack.
Devil Saint Kongming was startled and hurriedly retreated.
Once it regained its footing, it saw that Liu Yi had only raised his hand and had not launched an attack. It immediately realized that it had been tricked.
Its face was ashen, its eyes glaring menacingly at Liu Yi, and it let out a cold snort:
"Since you have no intention of fighting again, then I will not accompany you."
Even if the Mysterious Firmament Realm gains you, it won't change the fact that it will be swallowed up by my Myriad Devils Realm.
Before Liu Yi could respond, it took a step forward, its figure disappearing into the depths of chaos, and instantly returned to the world crystal wall of the Myriad Devils Realm.
It looked at the six Devil Saint and said in a deep voice, "You all saw the battle just now. Xuanyi is definitely a freak."
Having just become the Ruler, his combat power has already reached such a formidable level.
In a one-on-one fight, none of us could match him.
If we encounter him again in the future, it would be best to send two or even three fellow cultivators to join forces and attack him together, only then would we have a chance to suppress him.
The Devil Saint Nine Nether's expression was solemn. "Xuanyi's combat strength is indeed unfathomable."
Fortunately, our Devil Saint have a numerical advantage, so holding him off shouldn't be a problem.
The battle between the Ruler and the Devil Saint was never going to end in a fight; the key was to keep him occupied.
The true outcome of this war between the two realms will ultimately be decided on the battlefield beneath the Devil Saint.
"We will first return to the Myriad Devils Realm to complete the final preparations. Once everything is ready, we will initiate the war between the two realms and annex the Mysterious Firmament Realm in one fell swoop."
"Okay, let's go back now and make the final preparations."
The group of Devil Saint nodded in unison, their eyes filled with apprehension as they looked towards Liu Yi's location before entering the Myriad Devils Realm together.
