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.
Chapter 553: Good and Bad Karma - 553
Ye Li was still in the empty space that was once the Death Qi domain. He wasn't 100% sure what had just happened, but it seemed that the Death Qi being had evolved after using his Karma to hone itself.
At the end, it gave him the same feeling as Yhwh.
Ye Li was actually not upset about being captured by the Death Qi Being, or the God of Death as he had announced.
There had been a reason his Karma had not warned him in advance. This had actually not been bad for him at all. Training with the God of Death for so many years, he had gained a lot. Especially at the end, when the God of Death's own power began to form.
Although his Karma had not increased in quantity, it seemed to have grown in quality. The last few Karma spirals alone gave him an incredible boost in quality, and overall, he was far stronger than he was before.
There was nothing left in the remains of the Death Qi domain, only space itself. All the stars, planets, and other space stuff had been covered with Death Qi for many years and had become Death Qi. When the God of Death left, he had taken all of this with him.
After moving for a while, Ye Li left the Death Qi domain.
He did not go to any other Qi domains, and instead returned to the normal universe.
Being held captive for so many years, he had a lot of time to think, and had thought of a better way to increase his Karma than simply stripping it from every being he could. Since beings could create Karma through living, he would let people live. He would not blindly strip their Karma, but take the Karma they created through living and only strip their Karma right before they died. He would also manipulate their lives to produce more Karma.
To do this, the Death Qi domain was actually the best place to build at. After all, it was newly vacated. He only needed to leave in order to find life. He quickly stumbled upon a few planets, most of them housing humans or other humanoid creatures, and a few housing beasts.
With a few quadrillion beings in tow, their planets wrapped in Karma, he quickly returned to the Death Qi domain and used a technique he had created.
"Karmic Cage."
A cage made of Karma, one that looked as if it would trap birds, formed, covering an extremely large area. He could naturally not use quadrillions of Karma spirals, each one staying around one life. Instead, he created the Karmic Cage. This did not have much use in battle, besides trapping someone for a moment, but it was not meant for battle.
It was meant to take the naturally formed Karma from beings and even non life such as planets and weapons.
He had taken a total of 100 planets. He put 50 on the left side, and 50 on the right.
This was where a split occurred. Two colors filled the cage, one on the right and one on the left.
On the right was a bright light, as if the sun was shining down upon all beings, and on the left was a darkness, as if all beings had been forsaken. The right side represented Good Karma, and the left side represented Bad Karma.
As time passed, those on the right experienced happiness, their lives constantly influenced by Karma, pushing them all towards success and love.
On the right side, there was constant war, hatred, and suffering. Karma pushed all these beigns to experience the most torturous lives possible.
Each of these two Karmas formed extremes. Ye Li sat in the middle, watching it all. He could feel his Karma growing no slower than when he went around stripping beings of Karma. Some of the beings in the Karmic Cage were mortals, but most were cultivators. The strongest among them had reached the Space shattering realm, but Ye Li planned to add even stronger cultivators.
Leaving behind the Karmic Cage, he once again left what was once the Death Qi domain and captured more planets and more life.
He returned to the Karmic Cage with all of this in tow, and left again. He repeated this process for a long, long time, until the Karmic Cage was filled up on both sides.
The size of the Karmic Cage was no smaller than a galaxy cluster, supported by the power of his Karma.
Inside, beings could not tell that they were in a cage, even when the strongest beings reached the Lesser Dao Creation realm.
They also could not tell that there was another side just next to them.
After filling up the Karmic Cage, Ye Li crossed his legs and in between both. He was not only receiving vast amounts of Karma every single second, but he was also comprehending Karma by watching these beings live.
On one side, he saw a happy family with smiles and without worries. On the other side, he saw an 11 year old child rip his entire family in half due to being accidentally infused with immense killing intent by a powerful being.
On one side, he saw an introverted boy with difficulty forming connections grow, fall in love, and live a happy life. On the other side, he saw a similar boy kill everyone around him to survive.
There was so much to learn here, even from mortals.
There was one particular mortal on the bad side that caught Ye Li's attention. His entire life had been filled with nothing but negativity and despair, yet he remained firm in his life.
Ye Li focused on him. Karma had killed everyone around him in horrible ways. Everything he had valued had been taken or destroyed. Everything he tried to do went wrong.
Like all others, he had at first despaired and nearly given up, but he seemed to see through something one day.
He no longer felt despair or got angry. He tried things knowing they would fail. He formed connections knowing that everyone would die.
One day, Ye Li saw something within him. Through his influence and being influenced by Karma his entire life, this boy had comprehended Ye Li's path. He had learned Karma.
