CHAPTER 754: 694 FINAL SCENE 2

The Colossal Beast and the Void both represent the extreme directions of their respective Realms, their individual wills having long since dispersed into the unknown, fragmented into countless primal elements.

That is why they are strong, that is why they have no individual will.

The current Mother of Nothingness is just an avatar, born from a fixed rule where the unknown corrodes the known.

Anything known will be her enemy!!

In other words, any conscious existence will be reduced to nothingness.

Because consciousness itself is founded upon the known.

Absolute ignorance leads to the loss of all self.

Ignorant of writing, ignorant of language, ignorant of eating and drinking, ignorant of fleeing, even ignorant of breathing.

Even the beating of the heart, the circulation of blood is unknown.

Absolute ignorance of life means disintegration, turning into pure inanimate matter, and inanimate matter then transforms into nothingness.

Therefore, within the absolute Void, personal will is not permitted.

If there is no recognition of the self, then naturally there would be no concepts like I, you, he, everyone, and so on.

Without the distinction of you and me, everything would be chaos.

Tian Qingzi paid no attention to the escape of others but kept his gaze fixed on the Mother of Nothingness.

"What meaning is there beyond the boundary of losing one’s self?"

The Mother of Nothingness did not respond; she had already lost her sense of self. Without self-awareness, without an understanding of survival, there is no life.

The initial formation of life is based on the cognition of wanting to survive, knowing how to survive, and so forth.

With such foundational cognition, the instinct for evolution arises, leading to the survival of the fittest.

The most fundamental cognition is stimulation. Stimulation is the most basic form of recognition; because of stimulation, life realizes what is beneficial and what is harmful, thus leading to bias.

This is the cognition of life, and the beginning of consciousness.

Tian Qingzi sighed, knowing that this battle was inevitable.

The Mother of Nothingness had already lost her self, becoming an entity reminiscent of a collection of some unknown substance.

Her instinct was to devour all entities with the strongest sense of existence, and so the strongest him was targeted.

"It’s a pity... if becoming everything could transcend the limits of complete primal cognition, then life had no need to appear in the first place."

He turned slightly, facing the Mother of Nothingness head-on.

In the instant he turned, eight spider legs exploded from behind him, shooting forth, instantly piercing the remaining seven Omniscients who had fled from this place.

Hissss!!!

The dense piercing vibration spread out, and including Yong Ling, all Omniscients’ bodies stiffened in mid-air in the blink of an eye, forcefully impaled.

All seven collapsed, turning into golden bubbles, vanishing into thin air.

The collective entity they had formed here was utterly destroyed, but during the brief respite fought for by the Mother of Nothingness, they had already presciently dispersed their offspring to escape.

Tian Qingzi was naturally aware of this, and immediately planned to annihilate the seven completely.

But unfortunately, the dark mist of the Mother of Nothingness had already reached him, just a hair’s breadth away.

*

In another unknown region.

Amidst an endless sea of Marigold.

Two equally magnificent and majestic Divine Flower Garments Armor clashed like two bolts of lightning, hurtling past each other at high speed.

Wherever they went, the flower sea below was shattered and dispersed, turning into countless petals fluttering in the air.

But soon, new Marigolds grew back in their place.

Clang!!

With a sudden stroke, Yong Ling’s two-handed sword made a heavy horizontal cut on the massive Golden Shield that Li Chengyi raised.

The Golden Shield, formed by the Floral Fortress, shattered instantly, and the Greatsword landed heavily on Li Chengyi’s waist without any delay.

With a swish.

A large... white mark appeared on Li Chengyi’s waist.

"..." Yong Ling’s eyes narrowed, "Such a solid concept... even I can’t break through?"

When concepts clash against concepts, solidity is what matters most.

For example, a concept that cuts through anything, when faced with a concept that withstands everything, the outcome is decided by whose solidity is greater.

And solidity should be determined by the power of consciousness.

Yong Ling’s own Omniscient peak level strength of consciousness should have far surpassed Li Chengyi’s.

But...

Looking at the white mark on Li Chengyi’s waist that was rapidly fading away, a myriad of possibilities flashed through his mind.

Clang!

Once again, the two crossed paths.

The Golden Sword sliced through the Tri-pointed Halberd’s handle that Li Chengyi had formed, landing a brutal blow right in the center of his chest.

Irresistible!

But the damage inflicted was extremely minor.

The same white mark appeared on Li Chengyi’s Divine Flower Garment.

"This is not a concept that belongs to you!! Eternal Vitality!! This is the fundamental concept belonging to Asraduni!" Suddenly, Yong Ling realized and with cold eyes sharply objected.

’Flower Language Technique: Destiny...’

Li Chengyi, undisturbed, ceased his retreat, the Tri-pointed Halberd in his hand healing once more, coated with a layer of gold.

The weapon swung in his hand drawing a full moon arc, whishing to a stop by his side, transforming into a slender Golden Sword Blade.

’The Blade of Absolute Certainty!!’

Swoosh!!!

In an instant, a brilliant golden light burst forth, like a laser, slicing towards Yong Ling.

At the same time, Yong Ling also held the Greatsword, its blade lighting up with layer upon layer of sword aura phantoms.

’Flower Language Technique: The Blade of Fate!!’

The Greatsword also turned into a golden light, carrying the same concept of inevitable certainty, rushing toward the other.

Both were wearing Divine Flower Garments, enhancing their abilities by a thousandfold; Yong Ling’s enhancement was a thousand-fold in every aspect.

Li Chengyi, on the other hand, was far inferior in other qualities, but in terms of bodily strength and consciousness power, stemming originally from the Colossal Beast’s Eternal Vitality, his strength of consciousness was abnormally strong, and was even increasing at a crazy pace.

With such a base, and an increase of a thousandfold, the resulting strength far exceeded the pinnacle that living beings could touch, reaching a realm beyond the imaginable extreme, even for the Omniscient, where creation did not exist.

Strength, solidity, everything was skyrocketing madly, and with the amplification of the Divine Flower Garment, these increases far exceeded Yong Ling’s imagination.

Even the past Colossal Beast couldn’t match the current Li Chengyi’s exaggerated state. After all, the Colossal Beast did not have the amplification of the Divine Flower Garment that represented half of the Unique Flower.

But beyond that.

Li Chengyi’s Consciousness Power Realm was far inferior to his opponent’s, and in the twisting and altering of conceptual rules, he was at an absolute disadvantage.

Boom!!!

Two unavoidable streaks of golden light struck the opponent’s body almost simultaneously.

Yong Ling felt a sinking sensation as terrifying Giant Strength poured into his body layer upon layer, causing fine cracks to appear on the outer layer of the Divine Flower Garment.

His eyes hardened.

’Extract his speed, and set it so he cannot move.’ he activated the Quan Li technique in his mind.

Aside from concepts like existence, strength, and solidity, which he could not adjust, he had an overwhelming advantage in all other aspects.

At first, it was just a simple probe of the opponent.

But now... he had grasped the full measure of Li Chengyi.

Boom!!

The Destiny-bound blade struck squarely on his face, hitting his left eye.

The solid helmet’s dragon horns and protective eye crystals blocked the sword, and even with the terrifyingly strong enhancement of Eternal Vitality on the Divine Flower Garment, the sword only left a simple white mark.

But at that moment, Li Chengyi’s entire body tingled with numbness, his just-erupted speed suddenly disappearing into thin air.

He had completely lost the concept of speed; he could not move, only remain frozen in place.

Even his ability to move with Consciousness Power and various system capabilities for instantaneous flight all failed.

This was the concept of mobility taking effect.

Yong Ling raised his sword, slowly relaxing his body.

"It’s over,"

he sighed.

"The system of the Colossal Beast lies in eternal existence, in eternal solidity, eternal strength, these strong concepts I truly can’t negate. But..."

"My goal was never to kill you... to erase your existence."

He walked slowly closer, the Golden Greatsword in his hand dissipating naturally.

"But rather, to reclaim all that is mine..."

He approached Li Chengyi. Lifting his hand, he pointed his fingertip straight at Li Chengyi’s forehead.

"Eternal Vitality is indeed incredibly powerful, especially the Eternal Vitality of the Omniscient Realm, but... it also has one major fatal weakness."

A victorious smile appeared in Yong Ling’s eyes.

His outstretched fingertip suddenly shone with a brilliant golden light.

"Conceptual Revision: Time Acceleration..."

he murmured softly.

"Accelerate the time of the target before me by ten thousand times."

If it were a common entity, he could accelerate it by a hundred million times, or even more without issue, as long as he could provide enough energy.

But against an omnipotent enemy, ten thousand times was already a drastically exaggerated increase.

Crack.

In an instant, Li Chengyi’s body, covered by the Divine Flower Garment, showed cracks spreading across it.

The enhancement speed of Eternal Vitality suddenly skyrocketed countless times.

Even though his Consciousness Power, with Xie Rong’s help, had stepped into the Omniscient, gaining the opportunity to expand into the Dimensional Realm, it was beginning to struggle to hold up.

By this point, Li Chengyi’s Consciousness Power had already covered a radius of several light-years around him.

This was his limit.

The awareness of an Omniscient does not cover all areas of the Black Sea at all times, but is more like spider silk and dotted lines, sparsely connected, covering all regions, with the Consciousness Power spread very thinly.

They listen to everything dynamically, like spiders sitting on a web made of various conceptual rules that already exist within the Black Sea.

As for Li Chengyi, he was there for combat, converging and contracting his consciousness, which is why his will was highly concentrated, gathering all these dots and lines together.

At this moment, having his own time forcibly accelerated by Yong Ling, his body’s solidity and strength both began to see a terrifying growth.

His body, already transformed into a Dimensional Realm, saw every single object within the dimension, every attribute of existence, become increasingly indestructible.

However, the unlimited internal pressure brought about by Eternal Vitality also began to crush Li Chengyi’s dimensional body madly.

Crack.

Almost simultaneously, the space next to Yong Ling began to show the same black cracks appearing on Li Chengyi’s body. That too was internal pressure.

"Are you betting with me to see who falls apart first?" he said, his voice deep as he looked at Li Chengyi.

The dimension of Eternal Vitality is connected to the essence of the existence of all things.

And once that dimension collapses, the Black Sea as it is known to all living beings will be utterly destroyed, with only beings beyond the dimension able to avoid the destruction by other means, while everything else will lose the concept of existence.

A Black Sea like that would no longer need governing.

And this kind of explosive enhancement for Li Chengyi was to see if he could handle it.

Whether his Consciousness Power would completely lose control and explode due to supporting the increasingly powerful internal pressure of Eternal Vitality,

or if the dimension of existence for all other things would completely lock down and cease the flow of all conceptual rules due to becoming increasingly solid.

Keep in mind, all things are balanced, energy is finite, and Eternal Vitality essentially devours power from elsewhere, filling it all into the concept of existence. Translating it into power, solidity, and internal pressure.

If there is more here, there will be less there.

Things will become unbalanced.

Yong Ling swiftly calculated the potential outcomes in his mind.

The peak of existence, after which the fundamental structural existence of all things becomes immovable, and no object of existence will or can be affected by other concepts again.

In other words, the powers of the Dimension and the other Omniscients will be greatly withdrawn and suppressed, unable to exert influence.

Only an Omniscient with existence at its core will possess unparalleled power.

Such an era... will be the end times for all laws!

’But, you simply cannot support it to that extent!’ he thought.

When the internal pressure becomes too great for Li Chengyi’s dimension to bear, everything will explode, and all that was transformed by Eternal Vitality will return to its origin.

So...

’Flower Language Technique: Heavenly Fortune.’

Suddenly, a mystical intangible fluctuation spread out from Li Chengyi.

The Flower Language Technique related to cause and fate took effect instantly within the ten thousand-fold accelerated timeframe.

Yong Ling, before he could even snap back from his distracted calculations, it was all over.

Li Chengyi used the Flower Language Technique not on the outside world, for even if he did, it would likely be ineffective against someone of Yong Ling’s caliber.

It was used on himself.

’Flower Language Technique: Return to the Origin!’ Yong Ling swiftly activated his own Flower Language Technique, attempting to stop it.

But it was already too late...

His power accelerated the timeframe by ten thousand times, causing the immobilized Li Chengyi, who was using the Consciousness Power’s Flower Language Technique, to act ten thousand times faster than him!
