Chapter 267: This Is the Fist
"The Gate of Truth has opened once again."
Li Qing stood tall and silent in front of Zhu Qi, contemplating in his heart:
"It's a pity, really. Two brutes, martial artists, without the talent to usher in a new era. All they know is fighting. They can't use this state to extrapolate realms, create life, or evolve the order of the world. This Gate of Truth can only be utilized one third of its potential."
Expecting an emperor, a type of martial artist, to advance civilization and pioneer realms is evidently unrealistic.
But who could maximize the value of this Gate of Truth?
Usually, only one kind of person can do it.
Those who are adept in both the literary and martial arts.
Of course, settling for less is not impossible either.
By finding a literary genius who excels in extrapolation, synchronizing with the Gate of Truth, this rare opportunity can still be utilized to some extent.
So, what does the emperor intend to do?
One third usage of this Gate of Truth has already wasted much. How can he perfectly and unrestrainedly display his combat artistry?
This does not match his style. Perhaps he has a backup plan to complete it.
After all, every time the Gate of Truth opens, it consumes lots of souls accumulated from previous civilizations and requires a considerable time interval between openings.
Li Qing frowned slightly:
"But that has nothing to do with me. At this moment, I have already synchronized with this incredible state."
"In the Gate of Truth, time is precious. I can take this opportunity to extrapolate on what I desire."
Back in the day, when Herodotus opened the Gate of Truth, I greatly benefited from it.
And now, after such a long time, there's once again this grand and magnificent Gate of Truth belonging to the Martial Path continent, accumulated over thousands of years with wandering souls. Naturally, he couldn't let go of such a remarkable opportunity.
Very soon, he decided on his plan within the Gate of Truth:
"Thus, I will improve the new Crystal Wall Snail and the Ancient Tree of the World once more!"
He smiled softly.
To be honest, after the True God Era began, the Crystal Wall was just like a sheet of paper.
One poke and it would break, and the Demigod-level version of Crystal Wall life forms was out of date, unable to keep up with the True God Era.
Even becoming an ordinary True God Crystal Wall life form was not what Li Qing wanted.
It has to be strong enough.
The Crystal Wall has to be special enough to block the True Gods from other worlds. Without any map air walls, the rooms could be entered and exited freely, right?
"The door to the ward can't even stop the most ordinary True God, how can this be? Really going to let them roam the corridors and enter the rooms freely?"
Li Qing's gaze was calm. Suddenly, he showed a hint of a smile,
"Without rules, there can be no order. Seeing me planting trees in my garden is not a good thing."
And these thoughts Li Qing had upon seeing the Gate of Truth occurred in just one exchange of fists.
Boom!
The next moment, the space cracks hadn't completely dispersed.
In this instant, the second fists clashed again.
The momentum of these two, reigning supreme across the entire Martial Path land, instantly stirred up ripples.
Zhu Qi's fist started to crack, while Nokron's fist on the opposite side remained unchanged.
Zhu Qi spat out blood, violently being knocked backwards.
But Li Qing did not pursue the victory; he simply stood still on a space fragment, allowing the aftermath to tear through the sky, making the space fragment churn and surge.
He was contemplating and extrapolating his own path.
"How is this possible? How can this be!? He's still getting stronger!"
Zhu Qi coldly regarded the incomprehensible monster before him, "But it's sufficient. I'm also becoming stronger!"
Boom!
A fist was thrown.
Witch Emperor Zhu Qi's head seemed to become a blazing sun, with golden snake-like flames surging like a tidal wave. Yet he didn't stop, unleashing every punch with every ounce of his strength, manifesting the era's rage and passion.
"Entering the Gate of Truth is just the beginning for me!"
"Only the beginning of freedom!"
"We blocked his fist for the first time! This is destined to be a historic moment!"
"He's a super legend spanning across multidimensional civilizations. In his prime, one punch could cause the collapse of a civilization. Withstanding one punch already means we've reached an advanced civilization's level!"
Zhu Qi knew in his heart that the Gate of Truth was continually getting stronger, irreversibly leading towards death, lighting up resplendent flowers, burning up the Path Seeker's road to demise.
Back when Herodotus entered the Gate of Truth, he crazily extrapolated and created three realms in one breath.
And now, although he's not at that level,
He surely will continue getting stronger, stepping into a greater and majestic future!
Moreover, the accumulated power from over ten thousand years was too vast; he had only absorbed about a quarter of it, and it was still rapidly rising.
"You nurtured me, but then gave me despair."
Zhu Qi's face flashed with a hint of ferocity, "I don't want to play anyone else, or become the emotional proxy for you! I am me, only me!"
"Harmonization!!"
Zhu Qi clapped his hands, and a terrifying aura completely emerged. His Divine Level energy level was rising rapidly, four thousand rings, four thousand three hundred rings...
A supremely domineering force kept surging, growing wildly, giving him an unprecedented hope.
"Not bad."
At this moment, Nokron finally spoke, and said a rare comment, "With the blessing of both the living and the dead of the entire world, you indeed have the qualifications to battle with the me who has just awakened."
"The so-called freedom and qualifications are things I have seized for myself!" Zhu Qi grinned, the combat wisdom of the Emperor bestowed upon him, he was burning his life at this moment, already surpassing the previous Emperor.
Before the whole world.
Everyone felt their strength being exhausted.
The absorption and conversion efficiency of the Celestial Dao was extremely low; less than one percent of the energy offered could truly reach the Celestial Dao.
But it did not prevent them from giving everything, amounting little by little, accumulating into a vast abyss.
"Can withstand it, can withstand it!" A True God looked at the sky and shouted excitedly, "His fist is trembling."
Even Wadon became excited, "Exactly like this! Keeping on like this, he's just a mortal, a mighty True God, with the power of the entire world, how could a mortal possibly reverse kill the Celestial Deities?"
There is hope.
More than ever before, there is hope.
Truly withstood the fist, which means the powers of both sides are starting to approach.
Though it appears ridiculous and unfair that a Deity would approach the power of a mortal.
But the opponent is not an ordinary mortal; the realm is low but can't be measured by ordinary combat power.
"Celestial Dao, do not perish, quickly expel this evil ancient existence!"
The terrifying battle was breaking out.
The fists of both sides were facing off.
With every minute and every second, both sides were rapidly evolving, unbelievably becoming stronger, and after a brief clash, both sides' power was almost doubled.
All scenes started to distort; outsiders could hardly see the battle scene inside.
The next second.
With a thud.
Everyone saw a scene that excited them.
Bang!
Zhu Qi erupted with terrifying light and heat, unexpectedly punching Nokron's chest, smashing it down fiercely.
"I'm finally going to surpass!" In the next moment, he pursued victory, instantly flashed to Nokron's back, clasped his hands together, and slammed down fiercely, smoke billowing instantly.
Nokron's body was beaten into a bloody mess.
"Hahaha, won!"
"Is this a victory?"
"Succeeded, already took him down!"
"I told you a mortal couldn't defy reason to such an extent!"
The whole world was shouting, chanting loudly.
The jubilant voices were endless; everyone's face was flushed with excitement, involuntarily shouting loudly.
"Celestial Dao revived, evil is dead, the master black hand of the Dark Forbidden Area has been successfully repelled!"
"In this world, no one can toy with our lives."
All the people of the Lower Realm were shouting, the people were ecstatic.
At the next moment, the Emperor suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately reminded within the other's body: "Wake up quickly, this isn't reality! This is a dream!"
At this moment, Zhu Qi's expression suddenly wavered and instantly returned to reality.
In a daze, he saw a white and delicate fist slowly approaching, gradually enlarging before his eyes, bit by bit aiming at his face.
"Opening the Gate of Truth, is it just this level? I somewhat overestimated you, only having force without innovation, is this battle only to this extent?"
"Having always used simple straight punches without adding technique, then let me show you what true fist arts are."
He opened his fist, inside there unexpectedly was the Great Thousand World, endless worlds, a Crystal Wall Race evolving and growing in the palm, a civilized kingdom nurtured in the lines of the palm, establishing tribes, growing rapidly.
"Martial arts is indeed the study of adaptability."
"Every move and style is adapted for evolution."
"Opening Heaven with the palm, holding the end of the world with the fist."
"This, is a fist."
In the next moment, as he clenched the civilization within the lines of his palm, his hand turned into a fist, and the thriving Crystal Wall Life Kingdom turned to mash, merging into a Secret Manual in the fist, which Nokron absorbed, and the fist started to become crystalline, taking the form of a Crystal Wall.
He held his fist with one hand, as if embracing the heavens and holding the moon, mingling with a special force.
"Able to make me create a fist art on the spot is enough for you to be proud for a lifetime."
He swung his fist.
Instantly, the punch wind swept, crystalline and translucent, dazzling like glazed diamond.
When the fist fell, everyone in the Divine Realm felt some terrifying existence had descended; a Dharma Method specifically targeting the Celestial Dao, as if with one punch, the world would be extinguished.
