Myriad Paths

During the battle, Li Qi's voice echoed in the universe.

As he spoke, the demonic energy swirled gently, forming a demonic energy nebula in the boundless void.

A voice came from the nebula: "Even the name of the demon can't scare you. Li Qi, who was originally rumored to be timid and cautious, has such courage in just a few years? Is the information wrong, or are you really such a genius?"

Li Qi was a little surprised.

I didn't expect the other party to admit it directly.

It stands to reason that such a person who uses hidden identities and plots in secret should not be so frank, but he admitted it immediately after being exposed...

It means that the other party just did this disguise casually, right? In fact, it doesn't matter.

Li Qi didn't say much, but the inner world unfolded again, isolating the surroundings, locking the demonic energy inside, and not allowing the other party to escape.

Li Qi continued to burst out with power.

The stars and planets that had just collapsed and barely maintained their shapes were easily blown over in all directions, just like feathers. Such destructive power easily overturned the orbital dynamic state of the planet.

Many young planets that had just condensed had their rotation axes knocked over. They were forced to swing to a high eccentricity orbit, swinging in an unreasonable posture. The rotation of the core of the planet collapsed, the core of the earth collapsed, the magnetic field was disordered, the matter on the planet was magma flowing, earthquakes were raging, and volcanoes erupted.

A large amount of matter was ejected into the universe, the air in the atmosphere was ionized and approached white heat, and even the stars were torn apart, but soon they gathered together again under the action of gravity to form new stars.

Matter is indestructible. No matter how the planets are destroyed and reshaped, they will always gather into new stars. But in this process, when the space-time continuum under pressure succumbs to the gushing energy and magic, the material fountain formed caused a very spectacular surge.

The magic energy next to it made a corresponding strategy. The magic energy began to devour kinetic energy and heat. If Li Qi's power comes from "creating something out of nothing", then the power displayed by the magic energy at this moment is "turning something into nothing".

The law that matter is indestructible and energy is indestructible was easily broken. It was nothing in front of the demonic energy. Li Qi constantly created new energy, just like a universe that was erupting and exploding. The power born from the Big Bang created new destructive power again and again.

The demonic energy completely accepted all of this and then annihilated it without causing any impact, because "nothing" itself had no impact. There was no light, no explosion, no spectacular scene, but the cold darkness took everything into it, and then spread into more and more darkness.

Li Qi looked at the demonic energy. No matter what kind of magic was used, no matter how the rules were distorted, it could not cause any impact, because the other party was originally "nothing". Facing "nothing", any "something" was meaningless.

Li Qi's magic, no matter what the effect was, whether it was to modify constants, modify cause and effect, or even manipulate time, or increase or decrease dimensions to create infinitely large and infinitely small power, etc., was meaningless.

All of this is "existence" in itself, and "existence" is useless in front of this piece of nothingness of demonic energy. The foundation of all logic and magic is that this world must be built on the basis of "existence".

If everything is "nothingness", then naturally all things are meaningless.

Demonic energy is like this.

Li Qi looked at the demonic energy, and he already knew where this power came from.

Sure enough, the other party is not a demon, but... it is also a demon.

The reason for this judgment is because of the essence of the demon -

What is "nothingness"?

The universe includes everything, all time and space, this is the universe, and the universe is all "existence".

What is outside the universe?

Of course there is nothing, because the universe must include everything, this is the definition of the universe.

Therefore, "nothingness" is things outside the universe, and outside the universe, that is all "nothingness".

The dividing line of the universe is "existence" and "nothingness".

And what has the demon been looking for all the time?

That is the "existence" "outside the universe".

Outside the universe, outside all reality, there is still "something", which is what the demon wanted to find, but he didn't do it.

He only found "nothing" outside the universe.

It was the "nothing" that he showed to Li Qi at this moment.

This was obviously the answer that the demon found at this moment, and therefore it restrained Li Qi to death. All of Li Qi's magic was like a drop in the ocean, without any effect.

Although these "nothings" could not do anything to Li Qi, they could completely trap Li Qi.

As long as Li Qi was trapped, Chen Jilang's dream would be completely under the control of the demon. The demon could easily make the other party forget his previous life and Shariputra, and let the mystery in the womb completely blind Shariputra's wisdom, and finally let Shariputra's reincarnation plan completely fail and disappear from then on.

But in the face of such a disadvantage, Li Qi was not nervous. He stopped the meaningless attack, but raised his head and faced the nothingness that was coming.

Then, in the void, Li Qi spoke, shaking the space with his voice, and then said: "Sure enough, it's almost the same as I guessed, you are not a demon, you are... a secondary demon, disguised as your original form, are you happy?"

The secondary demon is the demonic energy of the demon. (For details, see Chapter 291)

And now, what is in front of Li Qi is the highest level secondary demon, that is, the fourth-grade secondary demon.

Even the original body of the Heavenly Demon can only produce a fourth-grade secondary Heavenly Demon. Because the secondary Heavenly Demon is essentially the Tentacle of the Heavenly Demon, it shares the same reality as the Heavenly Demon.

After reaching the third level, they will have complete reality. Even the heavenly demon cannot have "two realities" at the same time, because complete reality must be unique, so the highest level of the secondary heavenly demon is the fourth level.

"As expected of Li Qi." The opponent, who was called the Second Demon, also replied in the same way: "I really didn't expect that if you dare to take action against me, you won't be afraid that you will guess wrong. ?"

"So what if I guess wrong? I believe the devil won't do anything to me, right?" Li Qi smiled and replied.

Even if the opponent was a real demon, and Li Qi started to attack, what would happen to the demon?

"That's what I said, but when you did it, you were shaking." The secondary demon spoke like the real demon, teasing Li Qi softly.

In fact, he was right.

Having said that, even if Li Qi knew clearly that the demon would not do anything to him, it did not mean that he really dared to take action against the demon.

Even if the devil lets him go and fights him, he doesn't dare to do it. This has nothing to do with whether he can beat him or not, but that he must overcome the pressure of the devil...

You have enough courage to still dare to draw your sword when facing the devil.

How many people in this world have such courage?

I'm afraid there aren't many.

There is no need to truly understand the demons. Any practitioner who simply perceives the demonic thoughts in his heart will never be able to face the demons directly.

Even if you are just standing in front of the other party, the demonic thoughts in your heart will be ready to devour the practitioner. This sense of oppression is not only caused by the reputation and oppression of the demon, but also by the entire reality and all the demonic thoughts in your heart. blessed.

Can you really wield a knife against a demon? Can you really swing a knife at the 'total sum of the real world'?

I'm afraid most people don't have this ability. You know... even if most people face evil people or leaders who bully them, they only dare to fantasize about beating them, but they don't dare to punch them in person, let alone kill them with a knife. died.

Various thoughts, various realities, and reasons of one kind or another restrain people and prevent them from taking this stab. These reasons do not have any binding force, but at the same time... they also have complete binding force, even if they are high-level ones. Even practitioners cannot overcome it.

This kind of reason can be called ‘inner demon’.

Your inner demons are holding you back and preventing you from risking everything.

That's not enough for stabbing a boss, let alone when you have to face a demon...

The secondary demon is really curious. He is the tentacle of the demon. Although he has an independent will, there is no doubt that he is the power of the demon itself. No matter who comes, it is not clear whether he is the demon or not.

But Li Qi actually overcame his fear and inner demons and took action against him!

This is an achievement worth appreciating.

The character of the secondary demon is exactly the same as that of the demon. He is full of curiosity and bad taste, and regards everything in the world as a plaything. Li Qi's behavior at this moment aroused his curiosity.

How did Li Qi rush out unswervingly even when he was trembling with fear?

The battle was still going on. Li Qi did not answer the question of the secondary demon. He closed his mouth tightly and fought against the eroding demonic energy.

Although the demon was curious, he didn't necessarily want an answer, so he continued to push forward the erosion of nothingness.

Although this could not kill Li Qi, it was enough to prevent Li Qi from leaving here. He had enough time to control Huanmeng and hold Shariputra's remaining wisdom in his hands.

But as time went by, the secondary demon began to become a little anxious.

Because Li Qi didn't get anxious.

Logically speaking, Li Qi was at an overall disadvantage now. Li Qi's rash attack caused him to be trapped by the demonic energy arranged by the Secondary Demon in advance, and the Secondary Demon also began the process of manipulating Huan Meng.

But, is it really that simple?

This is Li Qi!

He has no other backup plan? You know, in order to guard against possible back-up, the Second Generation Demon made many, many plans to ensure that he could completely suppress Li Qi.

But Li Qi didn't use any back-ups, making the countermeasures he prepared meaningless, and even Li Qi was still sitting there.

This is not right, this is definitely not right.

Li Qi is not a pig. The Second Demon has also heard of the other party's fighting spirit and wisdom. This kind of person will not sit still and wait for death.

However, what was shown in front of him was that Li Qi was clearly helpless.

Did he overestimate him?

He is a genius when he is at the fifth level, but not necessarily when he is at the fourth level.

Many geniuses are amazing when they are at a low level, but when they are promoted to a certain level, they will quickly lose their original aura of genius. The reason is also very simple. Those who can be promoted to this level are all genius.

It's like going to elementary school. Among a group of gorillas, there is a human.

This human being is smarter than all gorillas, and he considers himself a genius. He even taught himself primary school courses by relying on the books in a tattered schoolbag he picked up.

But when he comes to the human world, he will find that everyone has a primary school education, and he is just an ordinary member. He may be tougher than those who go to primary school step by step, but that's all. .

Everyone is a genius, naturally there is no genius.

But...is this really all Li Qi does?

No, Li Qi had already shown extraordinary skills when he fought with the other two fourth-grade men before, but he couldn't be such a waste now.

has a problem.

The secondary demon began to increase his intensity, and he began to use other tricks.

Under the devouring of the demonic energy, the surrounding cosmic space began to condense at an accelerated rate, the space began to expand, everything was being eliminated, the existence of the speed of light began to strengthen, and a big tear began to unfold around this small star system.

In the endless expansion, all matter is torn apart.

At first it was matter, which was torn into gas. Then the gas also began to decompose, gradually becoming smaller than a proton, but the disintegration and tearing were not over yet.

Soon, all the gas turned into a cloud of light-like particles, smaller than the smallest particles, almost approaching the limit of space, and the expansion from space will continue to pull these remnants apart, allowing them to Completely plunged into 'cold silence'.

But after a while, every ray of energy will soon become the only existence in their own universe's horizon. Their light cone is completely restricted, and their cause and effect is completely cut off from the outside world.

At that time, the complexity of the universe will drop to zero, everything known will cease, and even time itself will disappear.

This is the end of time.

The secondary demon easily created an environment close to nothingness. This is probably the scene closest to nothingness in the entire universe.

Li Qi was also within the range of being torn apart, and his body was torn apart as a result. However, his consciousness still transcended cause and effect and existed outside the light cone.

This is a manifestation of reality. Reality does not depend on time, space or physical rules for its existence. Reality is 'in itself' and can exist by itself, so it does not need anything from the outside world.

The secondary demon looked at Li Qi.

Why, why?

Why is Li Qi still not panicking?

Li Qi was so calm, but the Second Demon was not calm anymore.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the ears of the secondary demon.

Literally by his ear, right next to him.

"Now do you know what I rely on?" Li Qi said.

The body of the secondary demon suddenly collapsed!

He knows why!

Magic thoughts!

When he was in shock and doubt, he also had evil thoughts in his heart!

Is he a secondary demon or himself? Why is he so skilled in magic? ! (End of chapter)
