Cosmic-Level Demon God

Chapter 278: Evolution Is the Constant Killing of Oneself!


In the boundless sea of consciousness, several figures moved at high speed, colliding with each other.

Fists and kicks brought forth thunderous blasts, crossing tens of meters!

As they collided, ring-shaped shockwaves swept out, with the intense force comparable to armor-piercing shells!

"These 'selves' are actually this strong!"

Qin Shi's spiritual body glowed brightly, his spirit vibrating intensely, radiating outward like waves of sound.

He was incredibly fast, like a meteor breaking through the atmosphere, crashing down fiercely!

The thick, sinewy arms rose like a dragon, paired with a robust mortal body, brutally smashing a person's head.

Even if the opponent used both arms to block, the heavy force was like a battleship's cannon, containing explosive power.

Suddenly exploded, breaking the defense!

This exchange had already repeated several times.

Qin Shi experienced a battle intensity completely different from the past.

"Hundred Forms Refining Stance! With this punch, 'I' will penetrate from the side, aggressive as fire!"

Before Qin Shi could catch his breath, another figure quickly took position, attacking aggressively!

The punch pierced through the atmosphere, creating a vacuum-like passage!

Qin Shi reacted swiftly, also employing the Hundred Forms Refining Stance as quickly as the wind, avoiding the terrifying punch!

The fierce wind howled, brushing against his skin, like a steel blade slicing, cutting a strand of hair, adding a trace of blood.

Pa!

Qin Shi's left foot stepped on the surface of the consciousness sea, pressing down a deep pit.

A powerful whip-kick swiftly landed, blasting that figure into disintegration like a fragile castle of sand.

After frequent exchanges, Qin Shi discovered something.

Qi Wuxiang, through the "Unique Path of the Ages," split into numerous "selves," each choosing a specific lineage to focus and delve into.

Some were the "Hundred Forms Refining Stance," some the "Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual," and some the "Void Meditation Technique."

"Their levels aren't the same. As I continuously 'kill' them, their 'levels' are increasing, their 'skill' proficiency growing, and the difficulty escalating!"

Qin Shi gradually realized that the true essence of Old Qi's legacy was using the mortal body as a battlefield, splitting oneself, battling against oneself.

In this process, one must constantly progress and transform.

If defeated, one would pay a heavy "price"!

Because when the self is "killed," it's equivalent to the mortal body being severely injured.

A massive amount of life force must be spent to repair it, akin to burning one's life!

"So far, I haven't died yet."

Qin Shi stood in the sea of consciousness with a thrilling sense of "I want to fight ten."

Quickly, his expression froze, as a blood red figure stepped out.

"Warfare Strategy! Close to five hundred nodes?!"

Qin Shi's eyes narrowed, his spiritual body sensing a direct threat.

The next moment!

The blood-red figure vanished from its original spot, appearing instantly before him as if by teleportation.

Thunk thunk!

Punches collided, mortal bodies clashing!

In a mere few seconds, elbows, knees, and legs became lethal ultimate weapons, causing terrible aftershocks.

This was a battle of combat consciousness, also a challenge to each other's limits!

Qin Shi's forehead began to sweat, "Warfare Strategy" exploited potential, but the self split from the mortal body didn't care.

With powerful physical abilities and strong spirit, it displayed raw combat prowess through primitive hand-to-hand combat, vividly demonstrating the destructive power of the Martial Arts Path!

Boom!

Qin Shi's shoulder pushed away a heavy falling punch, the bones as hard as alloy steel seemed to shatter, cracking with lines.

He traded the injury for an effective offensive.

The left arm thrust like an iron spear, fiercely striking, stabbing at the throat!

This was the standard Old Martial Arts Style!

Simple yet powerful imagery, grand momentum!

Yet the blood-red figure didn't dodge or retreat, as if synchronized with Qin Shi's combat consciousness.

He concentrated all his strength to the peak and then exploded!

He actually faced Qin Shi's offensive head-on, to clash directly!

"No wonder it's 'me.'"

Qin Shi's eyes sparkled like electric arcs, pushing the Five Great Limits all at once, merging muscles, bones, skin, and even divine will into one!

The sea of consciousness surged and trembled, stirring up waves.

They exchanged fist to fist, a storm brewed within a range of tens of meters, the atmosphere tearing apart, crackling.

Like an iron ball rolling inside a hollow urn, the sound was dull like thunder!

This clash was like a cloud bomb detonated, directly raising a massive mushroom cloud!

"But ultimately, I'm still stronger."

Qin Shi panted heavily, the Five Great Limits resonating, exerting full power.

Under the incomparable ferocity, even reinforced concrete buildings would collapse!

Let alone a flesh and blood body!

The blood-red figure couldn't even hold for a tenth of a second before it shattered, bursting apart!

It had to be said, the "Warfare Strategy" indeed expertly exploited potential.

Even after such a severe blow, the blood-red figure didn't completely disintegrate, struggling to merge!

Web-like threads connected the mortal body, like being coated with strong glue.

Qin Shi activated the Cultivation Furnace, filling his body with energy factors, the muscles violently shaking, like rippling water!

The mortal body moved across space, a heavy fist wrapped in platinum radiance, pierced through the blood-red figure!

Riiip!

The opponent was utterly demolished, like a thin document through a shredder, scattered along the wind.

"Tsk, indeed reminiscent of my past glory."

Qi Wuxiang couldn't help but praise, mastering the "Unique Path of the Ages" for the first time and not dying once.

This proved Qin Shi's foundation and potential were extraordinary, enough to support his constant evolution and transformation.

"But next, the difficulty will greatly increase."

Qi Wuxiang observed, anticipating Qin Shi's future performance.

Boom!

Qin Shi shattered the blood-red figure, as Qi Wuxiang's evolution of the "Unique Path of the Ages" imprinted deeply into the sea of consciousness.

"Mortal body and flesh, ever-changing, ultimate self, true unparalleled self..."

A grand and majestic rumble resonated continuously.

While experiencing Qi Wuxiang's legacy, the flesh and blood of the mortal body seemed stimulated, beginning to split and derive self!

Spheres of light flashed one after another, heavily surrounding Qin Shi.

"Just now it was a 1vs1 duel. After clearing the level, it turns into one against many?"

Qin Shi, however, became increasingly motivated, the [Ultimate] achievement activated.

The will to fight surged instantly, the brain upgraded like a desktop computer, stepping up in speed and computing power.

"What will it be this time? The legacies I've learned seem to have all appeared already."

Qin Shi silently watched as more and more spheres of light increased, with some of them breaking apart, sketching clear figures.

"The legacies are stacking, and the level has also been enhanced."

Expectation rose in Qin Shi's eyes, he really wanted to experience the taste of "death" once.

As two figures stepped into the "battlefield," he took a big step forward, using his spine as a bow, his waist as the string, and his legs as arrows!

Swish!

His upright posture was like a strong bow opening, propelling his mortal body to shoot out!

The combat uniform clung tightly to his physique, as if being blown by a level twelve gale, creating incredibly rippling waves.

The two figures oncoming attacked from the left and right, like mirrors, replicating Qin Shi's assault!

"So cunning..."

In Qin Shi's astonishment, two fists inserted into his chest, causing his vision to go dark.

Whoosh!

Intense life force burned wildly, as if a lot of firewood were thrown into the cultivation furnace.

As the firelight ignited, Qin Shi "resurrected" once more.

"You really think my 'Ancient Sole Path' is so easy to achieve."

Qi Wuxiang watched the scene leisurely, chuckling as he said:

"I died nine times in total, only then did I manage to get through. Kid, take your time."

...

...

A white-haired figure unfolding the infinite domain of the vast void seemed to sense something, with a slight furrow of its brow.

Spiritual telekinesis capable of shattering asteroids transformed into an overwhelming transparent torrent, sweeping outward unrestrained!

"I knew it, Qi the Dog is restless!"

The white-haired figure's gaze turned cold, and he clasped his hands, his actions transforming as if forming seals.

Spiritually merging with the earth's core, exerting wild force, like launching missiles, forming an all-penetrating saturation strike.

Happily molding "someone else's student" into his own shape, Qi Wuxiang grinned:

"I knew it, He Lanchan is such bad sport!"

Qi Wuxiang ceased focusing on Qin Shi, exiting the sea of consciousness, returning to the outside world.

Spiritual telekinesis emitting destructive waves touched the body like a deity and demon, and surprisingly self-annihilated.

"He Lanchan, what's the point of competing with me?

Neither of us has walked that path, and we haven't achieved the grand wish to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yan Haishan and Ning Yuanhai."

Qi Wuxiang raised his thick eyebrows, arms crossed, merely standing there like an unshakeable celestial body.

The massive gravity was enough to warp time and space, causing matter to collapse.

This is the extraordinary body created by fully unlocking the seven great limits of the flesh!

"You once said evolution is constantly killing yourself."

The white-haired figure sat motionless, robes flapping in the wind, exuding proud elegance.

"I believe, legacy is an alternative continuation of life, if the young one who obtained the 'Void Meditation Technique' can follow my path.

Someday, I will succeed."

Qi Wuxiang grinned, feeling the urge to punch He Lanchan every time he saw that wry face.

"Don't get carried away yet, the kid may not choose your path.

After spiritual manifestation, he will certainly be sensed by the Netherworld, bound with restrictions, and not free.

Compared to that, my invincible path is more exhilarating, more enjoyable, with better prospects!"

The white-haired figure remained expressionless, ignoring Qi Wuxiang's boastful sales pitch.

"The fact shows, even if the seven great limits of the flesh are unlocked, without something special, it's still impossible to reach the domain of gods.

Either kneel to the pillar, becoming its spokesperson; or..."

Qi Wuxiang continued with arms crossed, his expression growing indifferent.

"If I were willing to kneel, why would I kill myself, becoming my own enemy, trying to pave the invincible path?"

The great cosmos' pillar has always been welcoming to various scorching suns, let alone the champion at the summit of the stars.

The white-haired figure shook his head, gaze blurry:

"I once asked my teacher, what is the path of the Martial God.

He said, 'Matter does not perish, only shatters,' to obtain something special, one must embrace the cosmos, abandon individuality.

This is also the meaning of the pillar's existence."

Qi Wuxiang didn't care, sneered and said:

"Our conversation is like two dead ghosts talking, unable to actually change anything."

The white-haired figure shook his head again:

"No, I used to think the same, but that youngster is exploring the inner realm, he can resonantly connect with us at a deeper level.

Moreover, his talent and potential are enough to carry on my path.

Perhaps if I comprehend the 'Divine Gate Three Barriers' after the seven great limits.

Maybe, that path will open."

Qi Wuxiang frowned, then relaxed:

"He Lanchan, you are truly sinister and despicable. Clearly, you want to teach the youngster, yet you deliberately say this to provoke me into teaching too!"

The white-haired figure remained calm:

"How many 'selves' did you kill to reach the summit of the stars?

Residual image crystals aren't eternal, losing this chance, you and I truly perish."

Qi Wuxiang stroked his chin, seemingly in contemplation:

"Do you think he can reach the summit of the stars? He's too young, lacking the depth and length of life.

Even breaking through the First Rank of the Specialized Level with his foundation, he will struggle with the Grandmaster step."

The white-haired figure's eyes were as tranquil as an ancient well:

"That has nothing to do with me. The teacher said, matter does not perish, only shatters.

I shatter myself, transferring that spirit to him, as to whether he can reach the end, it's up to fate."

Qi Wuxiang turned to leave, seemingly departing.

Leaving only one sentence:

"I believe my path is more alluring and closer to the Martial God.

If you're willing to shatter, what should I fear?"
