Chapter 381: Qi Yuan, I Await You Beyond the Ultimate Truth

Chapter 381: Qi Yuan, I Await You Beyond the Ultimate Truth



Dongjun's eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

He couldn't comprehend, nor understand why... the person before him had severed his arm.

"How could you be so heartless, Ah Qiao!"

Dongjun's expression turned sorrowful, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

He felt that his Holy Light Eye hadn't exerted its full power yet.

"It's my fault for not trying hard enough, which led you to treat me this way."

He sniffled and sobbed, resembling Daiyu from the Dream of the Red Chamber.

Qi Yuan was completely speechless, "Bro, let me go. I'll lay my cards on the table. I didn't believe a single word you said."

He pointed to his nose, "Look at the length of my nose? Please, stop talking. It's too long!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan felt helpless, like someone trapped in an elevator, watching a burly man next to him with diarrhea, and pleading, "Uncle, stop it. I'm scared."

Qi Yuan was utterly powerless.

Even the boss's imposing aura in this game had been deflated by him.

Why were the bosses in other games so much cooler?

The unkempt old man from the Moonlit Continent who never bathed.

The demoness from the Wind Realm.

The father and daughter from the Mortal Heart Realm.

Yet, the boss in this game turned out to be a man...

And his words were disgustingly creepy.

Dongjun's eyes shifted, and his gaze filled with disbelief, "You mean, my words didn't move you?

My story didn't touch your heart?"

Every task in the Mountain Sea Scroll, every story, Qi Yuan had added his own twists.

Filial piety, sacrificing oneself to save the world and losing loved ones, the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness.

These tasks were all part of the Ten Thousand Paths Divine Martial Master's journey.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Don't you know that when I play games, I always skip the story and go straight to killing, looting, and leveling up?"

Qi Yuan spoke with defiance.

In the Mountain Sea Scroll, he would always capture the quest target and head straight to slaying demons to enhance his strength.

The profound meanings and implications of the tasks? They were all rubbish to him!

After a satisfying demon-slaying session, he would only then look for the quest target at night, watch some shows, listen to short videos, and indulge in some emo moments.

Dongjun's gaze shifted again, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You're clearly at the Heaven Rank, why won't you listen to my words?"

The Holy Light Clan's Divine Talent was infallible.

The Holy Light Clan relied on this talent to dominate the multiverse, making them universally despised and treated like venomous scorpions.

Yet, he had encountered someone with a lower cultivation realm who didn't heed his words.

His eyes widened in disbelief, "The Holy Light Clan's talent originates from the Primordial Ancestor; it cannot be wrong."

This talent stemmed from the power of the mighty Primordial Ancestor.

The Primordial Ancestor was beyond comprehension.

Their talent was even more terrifying than the Great Ultimate Truth.

Throughout the multiverse, the Primordial Ancestor's knowledge extended.

The opponent was clearly at the Heaven Rank, a lower realm than his.

How could their talent affect him!

He stared at Qi Yuan, unable to hold back his words, "Is 1+1 not equal to 3?"

"Didn't you finish primary education?" Qi Yuan was too annoyed to respond and slashed his sword towards Dongjun's right arm.

This time, Dongjun immediately fled, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

"Who are you? Why are you immune to my talent?"

"I am... your father!" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up with a smile, and the Great Forgetfulness Sutra activated, "But I'm not as disgusting as you, father!"

Qi Yuan never discriminated based on sexual orientation.

But Dongjun's creepiness was too much for him.

A hint of doubt flashed in Dongjun's eyes, "Father? That explains everything."

If they were father and son, everything made sense.

But in an instant, he realized the truth and stared at Qi Yuan in astonishment, "Your Primordial Talent is impressive. You have the potential to ascend to the Principle Realm.

I'll give you a chance. I, Holy Light Ming, am a once-in-a-lifetime genius of the Holy Light Clan.

I'm about to enter the Second Yang Immortal Realm, the Principle Realm.

Once I do, I'll roam freely across the multiverse, and no life will be able to stop me.

If you follow me, you can attain the Great Dao!"

Holy Light Ming changed his approach.

Since Qi Yuan was immune to his talent, it was possible that Qi Yuan possessed some rare and ancient bloodline.

It might not surpass the Holy Light Clan, but it was still a rare find.

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, "You finally sound like a proper villain. That was a scary line!"

Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid of a powerful villain, only a poorly written one.

Dongjun wasn't surprised by Qi Yuan's reaction.

He spoke softly, "The world you're in has reached its end.

Your talent is exceptional, the best in this world. Being born in such a world is your misfortune.

The world will confine you, and you'll have no future.

If you follow me, I might even bestow upon you a drop of my bloodline.

With the blood of the Holy Light Clan and my gift, you might break free from this cage!"

Dongjun spoke with a desire to nurture talent.

By taking Qi Yuan under his wing, he foresaw numerous benefits.

Not only would he gain a subordinate, but if he could analyze Qi Yuan's bloodline and immunity to the Holy Light Speech, he would dominate his own clan.

He might even unify the Holy Light Clan and become second only to the Primordial Ancestor.

"If your blood is so powerful, why don't you take it yourself?" Qi Yuan asked calmly.

"It seems you don't understand the terror of the Holy Light Clan, nor do you know... where exactly our differences lie?"

Divine light surged from Dongjun's tattered white robe.

He was just one step away from the Principle Realm.

As for Qi Yuan, he was merely at the Heaven Rank.

How could they compete?

"Hmm... is that all the crucial information?" Qi Yuan looked at Dongjun with a calm expression, "In that case, it's time to discuss a serious matter.

Your Holy Light Clan plagiarized the name of our Holy Light Clan!

Therefore, I, on behalf of the Holy Light Clan, will punish the plagiarizing dogs!"

He had refrained from direct action for a simple reason.

In the realm of the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Martial Master, the stage is set for an epic confrontation. As Qi Yuan faces Dong Jun, the secrets of the Origin World and the End Land unfold, along with the convergence of countless paths from the Mountain and Sea Chronicles. Qi Yuan, with the power of all paths, unleashes a devastating strike, embodying the rules of the Great Dao.

"In the realm of Yang God, the gap between each minor realm is like that of heaven and earth. Having glimpsed the Principle Realm, you can't harm me!" Dong Jun boasts, his figure seemingly merging with the heavens and earth.

Qi Yuan's terrifying attack is effortlessly evaded by Dong Jun. Qi Yuan remains silent, his gaze fixed on his opponent.

Qi Yuan strikes again, this time without the power of the Ten Thousand Daos, but with the might of the Immortal Dao. In his Immortal path, he surpasses even the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Martial Master!

"I've witnessed you devouring stars, reaching the pinnacle of the Heaven Rank. But without understanding the Principle, it's insignificant!" Qi Yuan declares, his words hinting at hidden truths.

Dong Jun, confident in his strength, secretly hopes Qi Yuan will summon his four thousand Divine Embryos to attack. He knows that while he is powerful, he cannot withstand a siege. Yet, his greatest strength lies in turning the siege against his enemies.

"You alone cannot defeat me unless you bring them all!" Dong Jun exudes confidence, believing he stands on the brink of invincibility.

Qi Yuan, possessing the Holy Light Speech, could easily win without calling for help. But he summons his allies, ready to unleash their combined might.

The intense attacks collide, yet Dong Jun only stumbles slightly. As a member of the Holy Light Clan, having glimpsed the Principle Realm, he is almost invincible in this realm. Even against the Great Ultimate Realm, he believes he can slowly overpower his opponent.

Facing Qi Yuan, whose Divine Energy surpasses even the Major Heavenly Rank of the Yang God, Dong Jun remains unshaken.

"It seems I must use my ultimate move!" Qi Yuan declares, his gaze steady.

"The boss is the boss; without his ultimate move, he's hard to kill!" Qi Yuan taunts.

"What other tricks do you have? Are you calling for your allies? Will they dare to come out?" Dong Jun eagerly awaits Qi Yuan's next move.

"They need not appear, for they are one with me," Qi Yuan says solemnly, clad in a blood-red robe, standing in the void.

A sense of foreboding washes over Dong Jun, but he reminds himself that having reached the Principle Realm, defeat is impossible.

In the next moment, his eyes widen in shock. Behind Qi Yuan, a mysterious aura surges, akin to chaos, primordial energy, and the Immortal Dao's purple qi. This nameless, formless, and incomprehensible energy suddenly transforms into three indescribable, blinding, and unfathomable entities.

"This aura... even more terrifying than the Primordial Ancestor's!" Dong Jun grits his teeth, filled with urgency and fear.

For a member of the Holy Light Clan, the Primordial Ancestor is the mightiest being in the multiverse. Yet, the mysterious entities behind Qi Yuan, each more enigmatic and unknown than the Primordial Ancestor, leave Dong Jun in awe.

"One energy becomes Three Pures, and the Three Pures become me..." Qi Yuan proclaims.

The Three Pures, standing behind Qi Yuan, speak in unison, their voices echoing through the void.

The disparity in realms is like that of heaven and earth. All power seems illusory, but it's merely a matter of scale. As the saying goes, one force can subdue ten meetings.

If a single punch can shatter starry rivers, annihilate the known, and erase the unknown, what use is a higher realm?

If Qi Yuan's Yang God power is insufficient, what about a thousand, three thousand, or four thousand?

He need not summon all his Divine Embryos in human form. They are already one with him.

"Bright and Luminous, the Divine Embryos obey my command, slay Dong Jun!"

In this moment, the four thousand Divine Embryos resonate, their voices like the melody of the Great Dao.

"Eastern Apex Azure Radiance Great Emperor, at your command!"

"Southern Longevity Great Emperor, at your command!"

"Clear Source Mystic Dao True Monarch, at your command!"

"Gatling Bodhisattva, at your command!"

"Sun Radiance Star Monarch, at your command!"

Their voices resonate within Qi Yuan's divine treasury, empowering him to the extreme.

In this moment, Qi Yuan feels invincible. Ethics, rules, and morals seem like mere illusions, ready to be shattered by his fist. This is true power!

"My Ten Thousand Daos have never been about quantity, but about killing!" Qi Yuan declares.

The four thousand Divine Embryos resonate in unison, and behind Qi Yuan, countless shadowy figures emerge, each throwing a punch. All their fists merge into Qi Yuan's, transforming into an unstoppable force.

Fire, fate, wealth, stars... Countless rules converge into Qi Yuan's fist.

"Can this punch defeat you?" Qi Yuan asks.

"Kill!" the shadows respond.

Dong Jun's face contorts in horror as he realizes the futility of resistance. Regret floods his mind: "How could there be such a monster? Three million years... Ahhh!"

Three million years of planning, and now it's all for naught. He cannot comprehend how this could have happened.

But in the face of this overwhelming, savage punch, Dong Jun is powerless to resist.

(Chapter End)

That punch shattered all the secular constraints in the Mountain Sea Scroll.

That punch obliterated all the conspiracies and calculations of the heart.

That punch also broke through the Ten Thousand Dao, overturning the rules.

It was not the Ultimate Truth, yet it surpassed it.

"You... can't step into the Principle Realm like this!" Lord Dong let out his final scream.

His initial glimpse of the power of the Ultimate Truth was utterly powerless against such a punch.

After plotting for countless years and harboring sinister intentions with the Mountain River Imperial Brush, Lord Dong, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally fell at this moment.

Qi Yuan looked ahead, his expression calm.

"Indeed, a real man should fight with his fists!"

As his voice echoed, the endless illusions around him vanished.

He once again transformed into the man in the blood-colored robe.

A sense of loss welled up in his heart.

Killing Lord Dong was not a big deal to him.

However, it only made him more determined about his path.

At this moment, he looked ahead, his gaze flickering: "Root Demons?"

The colors ahead were the Root Demons, the very ones that had entangled Lord Dong for countless years.

Even Lord Dong had been cautious and careful when facing these Root Demons.

Now, Qi Yuan stepped into the sea of Root Demons.

He had a premonition that something else was waiting for him.

He ventured deeper into the sea of Root Demons.

As he had expected, the terrifying Root Demons did not attack him.

Qi Yuan knew this was due to his Primordial Talent, the Heart Demon Induction of the Void Realm Sovereign"

].

He delved deeper into the sea of Root Demons.

All the Root Demons treated Qi Yuan as one of their own and did not attack him.

Qi Yuan wandered through the sea, feeling very safe.

The countless Root Demons also stirred his emotions.

Joy, slaughter, and more...

Suddenly, a strange voice rang out in his ear.

"Hey, Qi Yuan."

Qi Yuan turned around sharply to see a mass of black.

Or, more precisely, black threads.

More accurately, a woman with her head covered by black threads.

"Wang... Yuan Yu." Qi Yuan was both surprised and not surprised.

"Scared you, didn't I?" The woman's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. The black threads covering her head vanished, revealing a face... that was hard to identify.

Qi Yuan seemed to see Doctor Zhong Niao, Wang Yuan Yu, Lu Zhen, and many others.

"Indeed." Qi Yuan stretched lazily. "You must be the featherless bird at the start of the game, right?"

The game's icon was a bloody bird with no feathers.

The bird, completely bloodied, was related to the fall of the Primordial Seed.

"Their feathers are mine." The woman spoke, her voice inexplicable.

As she spoke, a medical record appeared in her hand.

She looked at Qi Yuan and softly said, "Your mental illness is not fake."

Qi Yuan was speechless: "Your kidney deficiency is the real deal."

"It's not kidney deficiency; it's just a tribulation of breaking through to Above Ultimate Truth." The woman's eyes showed a complex expression, "And Lord Dong was just a part of that tribulation. According to your terms, he is the game's setting, I am the designer, and also a player. The world is a game."

"Ah." Qi Yuan looked at the woman.

"I never expected that the greatest gain this time would be you." The woman's eyes showed a deep longing when she mentioned her homeland.

For a being of such strength, showing such emotions was extremely rare.

"However, you've given me a small inspiration." The woman looked at Qi Yuan, "The Ten Thousand Dao... are all illusions."

"Don't say that. Don't train yourself out of existence." Qi Yuan looked at the woman, thinking she was the one with a mental illness.

"Don't worry, I won't take your... line." The woman smiled, her expression showing a mix of longing and determination, "This world fell from my homeland. Once, I wanted to return the entireWorld Now, it seems this world... is no longer my homeland. I should go alone."

Qi Yuan looked at the woman and politely said, "Have a safe journey."

At that moment, the woman suddenly smiled mysteriously, "The game's setting, from a romance drama to a conspiracy, isn't that interesting?"

The romance drama was the love story between Lord Dong and his Dao Partner.

In reality, it was Lord Dong plotting a breakthrough, the Root Demons emerging, and the tribulation.

"But in truth, who can say for sure whether it is a romance drama? What Lord Dong said might not be false. It could have happened in the past, the present, or the future."

"Don't speak in riddles." Qi Yuan was speechless.

These powerful beings all had the air of the powerful, always speaking in riddles.

He preferred directness. If he wanted a bun, he would just eat it.

"Qi Yuan, I'll wait for you Above Ultimate Truth." The woman said, and her figure vanished.

The sea of Root Demons, endless and boundless, also disappeared.

At this moment, a game notification sounded.

【You have obtained one Mountain River Imperial Brush.】

...

Time flowed, and years passed. In a towering skyscraper, a slender robot entered the ruins through an elevator.

In the ruins, broken spaceships, fallen metal objects, and scattered rules and data lay around.

It held a marriage certificate tightly in its hand, its face expressionless.

However, it seemed to think of something, and a trace of human emotion finally appeared in its eyes.

"Master, the Ten Thousand Dao is Zero One..." The voice carried boundless thoughts.
