119: Defeat with one move

Chapter 119: Defeated in One Move

What is an Unrivaled Martial God?

The world's unrivaled God of Martial Arts!

Li Qidao didn't care about Killing Intent or Aura; he only yearned for unrivaled combat power!

However, since he was an Unrivaled Martial God, he naturally possessed the corresponding Aura, Killing Intent, and even Battle Intent!

This was a profound and pure Aura, enough to explain everything!

It explained Li Qidao's Martial Dao!

What was the Unrivaled Martial God Form?

This was it!

The pitch-black Unrivaled Martial God True Qi transformed into an exquisite and solid Unrivaled Martial God battle armor, and the pure and profound Unrivaled Martial God True Qi began to slowly burn, turning into raging, pitch-black flames.

Previously, Li Qidao could only maintain the Unrivaled Martial God Form for ten seconds.

But after receiving Lin Xinfeng's guidance, he thoroughly perfected the Unrivaled Martial God Form, greatly increasing the duration of this battle form.

Pitch-black flames covered his body inside and out, greatly enhancing his essence, Qi, and spirit. Strength, speed, Defense—the current Li Qidao had almost no shortcomings or flaws; he had transformed into an unrivaled Martial God.

At least in the eyes of ordinary third-rank Martial Artists, he was invincible.

His combat power was enough to crush ordinary third-rank Martial Artists.

Even among Geniuses, his combat power was among the best.

In terms of raw power, Li Qidao in his Unrivaled Martial God Form was already nearing the limit of the third-rank.

Moreover, Li Qidao wasn't just about raw power.

He also wielded an extremely powerful, extremely perfected, and extremely terrifying ultimate move—Martial God Slays Heaven!

The Heavenly Dao is unjust, the gods are guilty!

He is a Martial God, desiring to slay Heaven!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Slaughter the gods, destroy the Heavenly Dao!

This was Martial God Slays Heaven!

With a swing of his halberd, the pitch-black Martial Dao True Qi transformed into the purest destructive power, charging forward with no turning back, severing all retreats.

“Boom—rumble—rumble!!!”

The terrifying sound was like rolling thunder, even more terrifying and alarming than the sound of thunder!

The pitch-black destructive light directly shot towards Bai Xuan.

Its speed was as fast as light!

It also contained extremely terrifying destructive power.

Seeing this pitch-black light, Bai Xuan couldn't help but smile faintly.

A good attack, it had already touched the destructive limit of the third-rank Realm.

Such an attack was very good and had high reference value.

And now, Bai Xuan had finished his reference.

So Bai Xuan had also advanced.

Martial Dao Third-rank: Law Realm!

The core of this Realm is the transition from 'using' to 'wielding,' initially glimpsing and mastering one of the world's underlying structures.

To advance to the third-rank, one needs to delve into Heaven and Earth based on their own 'Concept,' communicate with the Void Realm, and capture and understand the ethereal yet real 'Law threads.'

Then, a complete Law fragment is integrated into one's body, and True Qi and Soul begin to bear a Law imprint. True Qi undergoes a qualitative change, transforming into a purer 'Law True Qi.'

As more and more Law fragments integrate into the True Qi, the Law True Qi will naturally become stronger and stronger, until the Martial Dao True Qi contains many complete Laws.

And these complete Laws can be unified to form even more powerful Law Power.

For Bai Xuan, advancing to the third-rank was never a difficult task.

What was difficult was that Bai Xuan wanted to perfectly step into the third-rank Realm.

To sublimate all Concept Power into Law Power, and to make all Laws perfectly and harmoniously integrate into the Stellar True Qi, and under the dominion of the Great Unification Power, form the Arctic Purple Emperor True Qi!

This kind of Martial Dao True Qi was naturally much more powerful than ordinary Martial Dao True Qi.

And precisely because of this, it was not a simple matter to condense Arctic Purple Emperor True Qi.

But for Bai Xuan, it wasn't difficult either.

At least the current Bai Xuan could do it.

So, what was he waiting for?

As Bai Xuan's mind stirred, all the Concept Power contained within the Stellar True Qi instantly began to sublimate, transforming into Law Power, touching higher-dimensional power, and delving into the essence of the world.

“Boom!!!!”

With a roar, a terrifying Aura suddenly rose.

The Great Unification Power instantly commanded the power of the stars.

The power of the stars, sublimated from the Concept of stars to the Law of stars, caused brilliant starlight to appear around Bai Xuan.

The dazzling and brilliant starlight seemed to have formed a starry sky.

And it was this starry sky that instantly devoured the pitch-black light unleashed by Li Qidao.

Within the Law of stars, there was naturally power capable of devouring and transforming.

Thus, the pitch-black light unleashed by Li Qidao, like darkness merging into the starry sky, was directly devoured, digested, absorbed, and transformed by the starry sky—turning into the purest Law Power, integrating into Bai Xuan's body and into his True Qi.

The newly born Law True Qi also continuously sublimated in a very short time, gradually transforming into Arctic Purple Emperor True Qi with the integration of the Law of stars.

“This Li Qidao is good!”

“He actually has these two moves; these two moves are extraordinary!”

“The ultimate battle form, the amplification of strength, speed, Defense, and various human functions, has almost reached the third-rank limit!”

“And that burning True Qi, the Battle Intent contained within it is truly too strong. Good, good, truly good!”

“As expected of the most famous Genius among the younger generation.”

“This halberd technique is also good, with the Concept of Heaven-Defying and slaying Heaven, very arrogant!”

“Fearless of Heaven and Earth, fearless of the Heavenly Dao, and fearless of the gods!”

“If the Heavenly Dao is unjust, he wants to destroy the Heavenly Dao!”

“If the gods are unkind, then slaughter the gods!”

“What grand and wild spirit!”

“Yes, yes, I'm starting to admire this Li Qidao. He reminds me of my younger days, fearless of Heaven and Earth, thinking I'm number one in the world, and no one can oppress or exploit me.”

“He certainly has that vibe.”

“But.”

“What—what is this?”

“Good heavens, this Bai Xuan is actually going to advance and Break through in the middle of a battle!”

“And this momentum, isn't it too exaggerated?!”

“The Concept of stars, sublimating into the Law of stars—how many kinds of Laws are there?!”

“This Bai Xuan is really daring!”

“Thousands of Concept Power sublimating into Law Power at once, and then all integrating into his True Qi—such a complex advancement process, and he's actually Breaking through in battle!”

“Truly daring!”

“I was also bold when I was young, but I couldn't have done this.”

“This Bai Xuan is strong, much stronger than me, and much bolder than me!”

“Isn't he afraid of failing the Breakthrough?”

“Look at this momentum, are there any signs of failure?”

“Indeed!”

“How did he do this?”

Everyone was shocked, everyone was puzzled.

But Bai Xuan had successfully stepped into the Martial Dao Third-rank, and had also successfully condensed the Arctic Purple Emperor True Qi.

Just how powerful was this True Qi?

In the very next moment, Bai Xuan merely extended his right hand, formed a sword-finger, and lightly tapped.

A stream of Arctic Purple Emperor True Qi transformed into dazzling starlight, instantly falling onto Li Qidao's body.

This was truly the speed of light, terrifyingly fast.

And its power was even more astonishing.

The starlight entered Li Qidao's body, and within one second, it devoured all the True Qi within him, and then seized control of his body.

The vast and boundless Great Unification Power was simply not something a mere Li Qidao could resist.

“How is this possible?”

“Bai Xuan, advanced to the third-rank in an instant.”

“Blocked my Martial God Slays Heaven, and then defeated me with one move.”

“That terrifying starlight True Qi contained too much Law Power, instantly devouring all the True Qi in my body, and also generating an incredibly terrifying invisible power that suppressed everything about me, making me unable to move—”

“Is this Bai Xuan a monster?”

“His talent is too terrifying!”

“Originally, I thought that even if his Martial Dao talent was a bit stronger than mine, it would only be marginally stronger.”

“Now that I see this—his Martial Dao talent is far stronger than mine, this is too exaggerated—”

Li Qidao found it hard to believe, but he had no choice but to believe it.

Because the facts were laid out before him.

And precisely because of this, he accepted reality, only feeling that his former self was a frog in a well, ignorant of the vastness of the world.

Heroes were as numerous as carp crossing a river; though his talent was good, he was not the best in the world. There were always stronger hands among the strong, mountains beyond mountains, and Heavens beyond Heavens.

He was nothing special.

He should not be conceited.

“Sigh~ I lost.”

With a long sigh, Li Qidao conceded.

The competition was over.

Everyone remained silent for a long time, because the Martial Dao talent displayed by Bai Xuan was truly Heaven-Defying.

Such terrifying Martial Dao talent made them feel that Bai Xuan's Martial Dao talent had even surpassed those Seniors who had suppressed an era.

“Such Martial Dao talent is truly unique through the ages.”

“Heaven-Defying, too Heaven-Defying!”

“Indeed!”

“Not to mention no successors, this is truly unprecedented.”

“With such Martial Dao talent, I believe this Bai Xuan is destined to become the number one in the world in the future, suppressing an era.”

“Perhaps, he even has hope of creating the Martial Dao Sixth-rank.”

At these words, everyone fell silent.

Their eyes were filled with fervor and anticipation.

If Bai Xuan could truly create the Martial Dao Sixth-rank, that would be wonderful.

Their Human Race would finally see hope of eliminating the abyss.

Their Martial Artists, especially those of the fifth-rank Martial Dao, would finally see the path forward for Martial Dao.

“There is indeed hope.”

“Yes, there is indeed hope—”

The rewards for the National Youth Security Officer Martial Arts Competition were very generous.

Bai Xuan received a great deal of Martial Dao resources.

These Martial Dao resources were enough to allow Bai Xuan to step into the Martial Dao Fourth-rank. The Martial Dao Fourth-rank is the Rule Realm, its core being to integrate Laws and establish 'rules' within one's Domain.

Martial Artists, based on the core Laws they master, integrate other related Laws to form a self-contained system of 'rules.' For example, with 'Flame Law' as the core, integrating 'burning,' 'destruction,' 'ascension' and other Laws to form the 'burn all things to ashes' rule.

This causes True Qi and Soul to fuse, undergoing an ultimate transformation, evolving into 'Rule Power.' And it can form a unique 'Domain' around oneself.

Within your own Domain, you are the rule-maker. You can stipulate 'no flying here,' 'flames here never extinguish,' 'within this Domain, my speed will always be a step faster than yours.' If an opponent cannot break it with a stronger rule, they can only be at your mercy.

Divine Power far surpasses True Qi, possessing Divine Abilities such as modifying the environment, creating things from nothing in the Void Realm, and traveling thousands of miles in a single thought. The Physical Body and Soul are perfectly fused, difficult to obliterate, and Lifespan is almost infinite.

And one begins to touch higher-level powers such as space-time.

“Rule Realm—Rule Realm—”

Bai Xuan had once pondered what a rule was.

The manifestation of Rule Power is a broad definition of a certain existence, all changes, all characteristics, all possibilities of a certain existence…

But the core of Rule Power is a very simple existence.

That is 'power'!

Rule Power can be divided into Law Power, Law Power can be divided into Concept Power, and Concept Power is the sublimation of the characteristics of different powers.

When flame and extraordinary power combine and sublimate, the Concept of Fire is formed.

The strong can also use extraordinary power to extract the Concept of Fire from flames.

Concepts are ubiquitous.

But powerful extraordinary power is needed to extract them.

Concepts are the essence of all phenomena.

They are the underlying code written by the Universe Laws for all phenomena.

They are part of the Universe Laws.

Just as characters form words, and words form sentences.

Concepts are characters, Laws are words, and Rules are sentences.

Everything is a qualitative change triggered by a quantitative change.

Rule Power is also like this.

“Rules are power, a qualitative change triggered by a quantitative change.”

“All the information contained in the Arctic Purple Emperor is Rule Power.”

“These Rule Power integrated into a whole represent the Emperor of the Arctic Purple Star.”

“I have an idea.”

“However, to completely perfect the "Arctic Ziwei Great Emperor Scroll", I still need to increase my knowledge reserves, or rather, refer to more fourth-rank Cultivation Techniques.”

“Minor issue, you are the champion of this National Youth Security Officer Martial Arts Competition. Many Martial Dao Seniors believe you are the hope for the future of Yan Country's Martial Dao. As long as you don't die, you are destined to be the number one in the world in the future, and have the hope of creating the Martial Dao Sixth-rank.”

“Yan Country has always been very supportive of Geniuses.”

“Wanting to see fourth-rank martial arts, that's certainly not a problem.”

“I'll apply for your access now.”

Lin Xinfeng replied with a smile.

“Then thank you, Senior.”

“Small matter, little friend Bai Xuan, you don't need to be so polite.”

“If you have time, let's sit down and chat.”

“Mm.”

After Bai Xuan sat down, Lin Xinfeng began to brew tea.

“Have some tea.”

“Alright.”

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Xinfeng continued to ask:

“I watched the finals; your Martial Dao talent is truly extraordinary, even Heaven-Defying.”

“Mm… This also makes me curious and puzzled, how exactly did you achieve it?”

“Is it convenient to tell me?”

“There's nothing inconvenient about it.”

Bai Xuan would not hide these questions.

Because knowledge shared, in the minds of Geniuses, can still innovate.

Bai Xuan needed these “innovations.”
