Chapter 551: Karma From Qi Domains - 551
The Lightning Qi Being watched Ye Li spit out blood and take a few steps back, fear apparent in his eyes.
Ye Li took a moment to compose himself before looking at the Lightning Qi Being. "I tried to view your earliest past. I nearly saw something, but it seemed that a powerful being prevented me from seeing it."
The Lightning Qi Being was stunned hearing Ye Li's ability to view the past, but he focused more on the being Ye Li was talking about.
Even for the Lightning Qi Being, it was difficult to remember its first memories. It tried to do so, and it clicked.
"You saw the creator."
Ye Li was confused. "The creator of what?"
The Lightning Qi Being responded. "The Creator of the Great Dao. The Great Dao is an existence that watches over us Qi Beings."
Ye Li found it hard to believe. The Qi Beings themselves were second to only a few in the entire universe. The Great Dao already seemed to be an unfathomable thing, but there was a creator even above that. Ye Li began to feel as if the universe he knew was only the surface.
The Lightning Qi Being spoke more. "I actually don't know too much. After all, I've only seen him that once, and I didn't even remember until now."
Ye Li asked a question. "Is there any being older than you Qi Beings that may know of this creator?"
The Lightning Qi Being thought for a moment before speaking. "Ying Xiong. Human."
"Who's that?"
"One of the oldest living beings in the universe. Every time he dies, he is reborn. You can find him at the cosmic sect."
Ye Li noted this, but such a thing was not a priority. First, he needed to grow his strength.
He looked at the Lightning Qi Being. "What happened to the Lightning from earlier?"
Hearing his words, the Lightning Qi Being remembered why he had come.
"Yes. The Lightning here is a phenomenon produced by my Lightning Ball. Theoretically, even absorbing the lightning should not drain anything, but you somehow managed to crack it. What exactly is your power?"
Ye Li did not answer, and the Qi Being understood. "Alright. Regardless, don't absorb any more lightning here."
Before Ye Li could say anything else, the Lightning Qi being was gone. Ye Li sighed and left the Qi domain. Regardless of what he wanted, he could not face a Qi Being at this time.
However, when the time came, he would be sure to strip their Karma. As the most ancient beings in the universe, each one's Karma would be immeasurable.
Ye Li did not enter the normal areas of the universe, but entered another Qi domain, the poison Qi domain. Like the Lightning Qi domain, it was nearly impossible for any beings to survive here that weren't in the main area where beings were taught.
Throughout this entire Qi domain, there was poison gas. Even a God realm cultivator would feel uneasy within at certain areas. The only living beings below the God realm were beings made of poison. They were much like the lightning beings in the Lightning Qi domain, suited only to this environment.
Ye Li found a location and began to take the Karma from the poison mist. It was thinner than the Karma from the lightning, but still very effective. Ye Li continued to consume the Karma of the poison mist for nearly 100,000 years.
As that much time passed, he felt the poison mist thin. Not too long later, he met the Poison Qi Being. He did not interact too much, only saying that he would leave after being told to do so. There were a few Qi domains that were considered forbidden zones like the last two.
Ye Li visited the next one, the Heat Qi domain. Since its formation, an intense heat has constantly plagued this area. Even a God realm cultivator would feel parched in some areas under this heat.
Ye Li began to strip the Karma from this heat. In some way, all Qi domains had a Qi that covered the entire area, but these few forbidden zones had them constantly affecting the domain.
Ye Li moved to a few more Qi domains before he stopped going to only forbidden zones. Next, he went to one of the most interesting Qi domains, the Death Qi domain.
The only living beings were skeletons, but there were skeletons of many beings. There was also Death Qi that took form in the shape of planets and stars.
The Death Qi domain was known for the feeling of sheer power it gave off. The Death Qi made it seem as if, at any time, any being could be drowned to death.
There were also legends that the Death Qi being had been growing stronger, something unique to it. He had naturally learned this through reading Karma.
Other Qi beings had stayed with the same strength their entire lives, but the Death Qi being had supposedly broken that rule.
Specifics were unknown, but the Death Qi being rarely made an appearance. This was one of the reasons that Ye Li had come here. Not being seen often, it was reasonable to assume that the Death Qi being would have a higher tolerance to the consumption of the surrounding Death Qi than other beings.
Regardless of whether such a conjecture was true or not, none of the other Qi beings had harmed him, and Ye Li didn't see why the Death Qi being would be any different.
Ye Li moved around the Death Qi domain, piercing planets formed from Death Qi and all the life on them, stripping away their Karma and increasing his strength.
He continued in this way for ten thousand years. Suddenly, his Karma warned him. Ye Li dodged to the side, but all he saw was an approaching black stick hitting his forehead and knocking him unconscious.
When he woke up, he found himself wrapped up in black chains. Looking around, he was in some sort of jail cell.
The walls were tainted with blood and bits of flesh. Ye Li couldn't understand what was going on.
Outside of the jail cell, he heard approaching footsteps. He looked up, and a humanoid being wearing a cloak of Death Qi stepped into his vision.
Chapter 552: God of Death - 552
Ye Li regretted entering the Death Qi domain. Having not been attacked by any of the Qi beings before, he thought that he was safe, but it seemed that he was completely wrong.
Seeing the Death Qi being right in front of him, Ye Li felt that death was closer than ever before.
The Death Qi being spoke. "Don't worry. I won't kill you. You're far too special. However, I need a bit of assistance, and you've come at the perfect time."
One of the chains, the one binding his right arm, dispersed.
The Death Qi being spoke again. "Attack."
Ye Li hesitated for a few moments before he shot forth a Karma spiral, attempting to strip the Karma from the Death Qi being.
The Karma spiral, as expected, failed to pierce the Death Qi being. The Karma spiral futilely spun, but it could not pierce through the cloak of death.
The Death Qi being moved to the side. The Karma spiral flew past, but turned around and continued.
The Death Qi being could not sense the Karma spiral in the slightest.
For multiple years, it simply dodged once it felt something. Ye Li continued with the hope that maybe he could succeed.
As multiple years passed, the Death Qi being began to control its Death Qi to attack the Karma spiral. Although it could not see it, it could sense an uncomfortable feeling where it was hit, and it used Death Qi on that spot.
Ye Li could not read the Death Qi beings mind, but it seemed as if the Death Qi being was learning every second. It seemed to be growing as well.
Ye Li was imprisoned for a million years. Halfway through, the Death Qi being let Ye Li pierce him with Karma. Ye Li instantly attempted to strip the Karma, but to his immense shock, the Death Qi within the Death Qi being actually pushed the Karma spiral away.
As the million years passed, the black chains wrapped around Ye Li dissipated. A Karma spiral shot at the Death Qi being, but Death Qi cut it in half before the Death Qi being was even touched.
"Finally." The Death Qi being laughed.
Ye Li watched as Death Qi began to swirl around the Death Qi being. Somehow, the Death Qi began to change.
Ye Li felt the bones within his body tremble, and his very life began to wane like a flickering candle.
This was inside of the main area of the Death Qi domain, and Ye Li was not the only one who felt this sensation.
The clone of the Death Qi being that had been teaching those who automatically came dissipated.
There were trillions, if not quadrillions of beings learning from the Death Qi being, staying inside of the main area of the Death Qi domain.
At this time, they too felt their bones tremble and their lives flicker, but unlike Ye Li, they were not protected by the Death Qi being.
Bones pierced through every living beings skin, and all the living matter on their bodies began to die and fall off of their bodies.
Only a single sage managed to react and run away, but a spear that seemed to be made of Death Qi, yet was not, pierced through his back. Unable to run away, his bones pierced through his skin and all the living matter on him died, falling to the ground.
The Death Qi being stepped into the universe. Within the Death Qi domain, the only remaining normal life form was Ye Li. All other living beings had become living skeletons.
Something resembling Death Qi, yet different, gave them a new form of life. They were now completely under the command of the Death Qi being.
A boat of bones formed under the Death Qi being as it moved forward, bringing along a few powerful living skeletons.
The Bone boat moved, and the Death Qi beings' cultivation was destroyed. Yet, in an instant, the Death Qi that filled the entire Death Qi domain poured towards the Death Qi being. It began to be refined and entered the Death Qi beings body as a new power, the power of death.
By the time the Bone boat left the Death Qi domain, there was nothing left besides a few normal buildings, some weak bones, and Ye Li. No more Death Qi remained.
The Death Qi beings' strength had not only recovered to the same level, but had surpassed it. At this point, he was invincible against any cultivator. Only fully realized path creators were above him.
He took the Bone boat upwards, reaping death as he did so. The entire universe seemed to see him, including Ye Li and Yhwh.
The Death Qi being spoke. "I have fulfilled my role. No longer the Death Qi being, I am the God of Death, a path creator. Ascending to the skies, I shall meet the creator."
Leaving behind these words, the Death Qi being, now the God of Death was let into the residence by Zhou Fan, fulfilling his promise to meet any Qi being that could create their own path.
Not one, not two, but three paths had now been created in such a small time. Although the God of Death had been working on his path for countless years and it only finished now due to Ye Li's help, he still only officially became a path creator now.
The words he left behind inspired the entire Main universe and all that heard them. On his simple journey to Zhou Fan's residence, he had already killed more than a sextillion beings, turning them into living skeletons.
All of these living skeletons traveled to one place, a gate that led to another universe, one not under Zhou Fan's great dao.
Years later, the gate that led to that universe changed. It became completely black, emanating the power of death.
All of these living skeletons entered what was now known as the death universe.
A few path creators, such as the Buddha and Yoha, visited the universe of death, leaving not too long after.
Far up above it all, the Great Dao, formless as it was, looked down indifferently. The Qi beings had not been created for this purpose, but there had always been hope that one of them could do this.
No new Death Qi being was created. From now on, the path of death was the God of Death's dominion, even if Death Qi still existed.
