People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 1125 First Slay the Dragon Elephant, Then Destroy the Great Void

Time flew by, and after the system message, the real world was shaken, with countless discussions and debates erupting.

At first, countless people were simply shocked, but soon after, some began to speculate whether there was some kind of causal relationship between the Demon Shadow and the Demon Emperor.

Some believe that under a great calamity, a chosen one will be born, and the world foresaw the appearance of the demonic shadow, thus giving birth to the Demon Emperor, who will ultimately turn the tide.

Some believe that the Demon Emperor might be a pawn of the Shadow Demon, and is not human at all, which is why he has such incredible talent.

Of course, these conjectures are just a part of many, and some are even wildly imaginative, suggesting that the Demon Emperor is actually a special NPC who has acquired the player's identity. It is perfectly normal for bugs to exist in the game world, just as there are some strange bugs in the real world.

However, the online buzz and the various discussions in real life did not affect Li Qi's life.

He kept a low profile in real life, which contrasted sharply with his arrogant and powerful persona in the game.

As time passed day by day, his martial arts progressed rapidly in the game. The Heavenly Dao Qi was too useful. In just five days, he digested eight Heavenly Dao Qi and his martial arts reached the threshold of condensing the Heavenly Dao Fruit.

He wasn't in a hurry. After refining the last strand of Heavenly Dao Qi, he gained even more foundation before beginning the condensation of the Heavenly Dao Fruit.

This step has always been difficult; throughout history, countless masters have been stuck at this hurdle.

But for Li Qi, the bottleneck simply doesn't exist.

With a thought, the demonic embryo and the seed of Dao were completely bound together. The Yin and Yang Tai Chi rotated, with the ultimate Yang and the ultimate Yin standing side by side, endlessly generating life.

The unity of Tao and Demon, the transformation into Taiji, and the return to Wuji—this is the unique Dao-human Dao fruit of the Dao embryo and the demon seed.

Everything happened so naturally and effortlessly.

As the Heavenly Human Fruit condensed, Li Qi's Heavenly Human Dharma Image also naturally condensed, becoming a platinum-gold demon god. The moment it appeared, it carried an aura of shattering the void.

The Dharma form is the outward manifestation of the union of martial arts and mental imagery.

"In recent days, I have been studying many scriptures of the Demonic Sect, and supplementing and annotating the Seventeenth Scroll of Heavenly Demon. It can be said that my understanding of demonic arts has surpassed that of the Demon Emperors of the Demonic Sect throughout the ages. Although I am only a Celestial, my understanding of shattering the void has surpassed that of countless masters."

Li Qi sensed his own Dharma form and understood why this situation had occurred.

At this moment, due to the weather, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Qi's demonic avatar suddenly threw a punch, using human strength to shake the heavens. With one punch, the dark clouds in the mountain were directly blasted open, and a huge hole continued to expand in all directions, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble.

That night, in the real world, after midnight, the world shook again. After six days of silence, the Demon Emperor successfully became a Celestial Being, splitting the heavens with a single punch and displaying invincible power.

This shock was far greater than the last one. The speed was too fast. Not long ago, they were still Grandmasters, but in a short time, they had become Celestials. Even if one day of their cultivation was equivalent to a year of cultivation for others, this speed was still too outrageous.

More importantly, martial arts skills begin from innate abilities; the accumulation of skill is secondary, and mental state is more important.

A person's state of mind needs time to be honed. Which celestial being hasn't experienced many storms, the vicissitudes of human love and hate, and the cycle of extreme emotion and ruthlessness, before finally washing away all worldly impurities?

However, the divine appearance of celestial beings cannot be faked.

The appearance of the Dharma form proves the authenticity of the Heavenly Human Dao Fruit. "A half-step Heavenly Human can suppress a Heavenly Human; now that the Demon Emperor has attained the Heavenly Human Dao Fruit, can he create a miracle and overturn the mythology?!"

On a certain forum, someone posted the following sentence, and in a short time, the post was forwarded to many places.

This is a question that many people have.

The next day, when all the chosen ones logged into the game, the system announcement reappeared shortly afterward.

System Announcement: With the Demonic Cult unified, the Demon Emperor's ambitions can no longer be suppressed. Although various factions in the Central Plains wished to form an alliance to destroy the Demon, before the alliance could be formed, the Demon Emperor has emerged, intending to challenge the Three Gangs and Seven Sects. Experts from all walks of life have declared that they will first slay the Dragon Elephant, and then destroy the Great Void...

A special faction mode is now activated. Players can choose to join the righteous faction to kill demonic masters and earn faction merits to exchange for various rewards, or join the demonic faction to kill righteous masters and earn faction merits...

The release of this news can be described as one wave after another!
"Longxiang Temple and Taixu Palace are both long-established forces. Although they may seem to be only ranked among the seven sects, after the three gangs, in fact, these two have a deep foundation. They are just more low-key than the three gangs, and their disciples only follow the elite route. The Demon Emperor actually targeted them directly..."

"He's getting too cocky, the Demon Emperor is definitely getting too cocky."

"As a player, how could the Demon Emperor not know that both Longxiang Temple and Taixu Palace are hiding many Celestial Realm experts who are about to die and only have one breath left? These experts use secret methods to seal themselves, just to turn the tide at the critical moment."

"If the Demonic Sect really wants to expand, it shouldn't directly confront these two major forces. A strong front is easily broken."

"If I achieved what the Demon Emperor did, I would be even more arrogant and cocky than him..."

As time passed and the game ended, it became midnight in reality, and the already bustling online world became even more lively.

"He just attained the Heavenly Human Realm yesterday, and today he wants to first slay the Dragon Elephant and then destroy the Great Void. This is far too impatient. Who plays games like this? Doesn't he need to consolidate his cultivation? Is the Demon Emperor trying to speed things up?!"

Some people have made such remarks.

"This is how we, the Demon Generation, practice martial arts: only the weak need to stabilize their cultivation!"

Someone was joking.

"Actually, I suspect that the Demon Emperor has some kind of cheat code for speedrunning. The fact that there's a penalty for not speedrunning seems a bit too hasty..."

"Wait, am I the only one who remembers that the Demon Emperor first appeared as the Blade Demon? At that time, the Demon Emperor's martial arts seemed to be only at the Innate level. It hasn't been that long."

……

The world is in an uproar, with people discussing the news. Some are shocked, some are curious, and it's not just the chosen ones who are curious; most ordinary people are also incredibly curious about where this matter will ultimately lead.

After all, Longxiang and Taixu can be considered the leaders of the Taoist and Buddhist lineages in a certain sense. The Demon Emperor chose to fight the two toughest ones as soon as he made his move, which many people saw as domineering and arrogant.

If it were a one-on-one fight, few people would have any doubts, but at this point, no one thinks that the righteous path would talk about martial ethics; they would definitely swarm in.

After all, what's the point of talking about chivalry when dealing with people from the demonic path? Just gang up on them and beat them up.
