Chapter 654: Famous

However, fortunately, Li Qi was already accustomed to drastic ups and downs, so although the decrease in his processing ability caused him much pain, he quickly adapted to it.

After that, Li Qi, bringing the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance, returned to where Yunfang Great Shaman was.

"Senior Yun Fang, these are all the anomalies from that time, and… I also found a Second Grade Spirit Dao within them," Li Qi landed on the platform outside and began his narration and report.

Yunfang Great Shaman listened carefully, his expression also somewhat surprised.

Obviously, he, as a high-ranking Shaman Dao official, knew that there was a Spirit Dao involved here, but for Li Qi to go up once and personally meet a Second Grade, it was a bit too much…

If he couldn't clearly see the Karma that the Shaman God was holding, Yun Fang would probably have thought this was a secret arrangement by some 'Heaven's Will'.

After Li Qi finished speaking, he looked at Yunfang Great Shaman, waiting for his reply.

"You… Oh, you got some information about the Demonic Dao, didn't you?" At this moment, Yun Fang suddenly asked.

Li Qi nodded: "Indeed, please accept this part of the knowledge, Senior. I know that Senior has always been looking for methods related to demonic thoughts."

Before Yun Fang could speak, Li Qi proactively offered the book Qi.

He was very grateful to Yunfang Great Shaman; he had hidden his origins when he was young, helping him avoid many disasters, and had also saved his life once with Teacher Zhu.

Yunfang Great Shaman originally wanted to say something, but his gaze swept over Li Qi's body, and in the end, he just smiled.

All he could see was sincerity and gratitude.

"...Thank you, then I'll accept it." Saying so, he reached out, took the book Qi, used a Divine Ability to copy a portion, and kept it.

Subsequently, Yun Fang said: "You can give me both the anomalies and the Dao Resonance. If you are worried about your daughter, you can send her here. This place is not directly involved in the front lines, and I can also give her some guidance."

Upon hearing this, Li Qi was immediately overjoyed!

What he worried about was nothing more than his daughter's safety; now that a Great Shaman was willing to personally look after her, it couldn't be better.

As for the book Qi he gave, it was originally copied, so there was no problem. Moreover, even if there was no Great Shaman to look after her, he had planned to give it to the other party and had no intention of using this to threaten Senior Yun Fang.

"You still have one year… you can wait here with me. These anomalies still need to be researched. The Spirit Dao side won't help you analyze them; they'll probably just give you a bunch of data directly, and it still needs to be organized," Yunfang Great Shaman said after receiving the book Qi.

"Thank you, Senior," Li Qi was not pretentious: "I'll go bring Shi Wei over first, and then wait here for the organization."

"Hmm, go ahead," Yun Fang nodded.

Li Qi moved swiftly, immediately setting off to where Bo Yue was, and then, without much pleasantry, took Li Shiwei and brought her back to where Yunfang Great Shaman was, again via the Star-Mansion Array.

The entire process took less than a day, extremely quick.

During this time, Li Shiwei was very surprised because Li Qi didn't hide it from her; he directly told her that he was taking her to a Great Shaman, who would personally instruct her.

This was not a Personal Disciple, but merely being able to receive guidance was already an unachievable good fortune.

Upon arriving at the scene, Li Shiwei was trembling with fear.

However, Yunfang Great Shaman was quite amiable; he smiled and comforted Li Shiwei, making the nervous little girl quickly relax.

However, this was only temporary. Li Shiwei soon discovered that her father and the Great Shaman immediately began intense research.

They were researching her Dao Resonance.

This made Li Shiwei grip the stone, waiting with some unease.

Fortunately, the stone was still as reassuring as ever; it didn't panic at all, which quickly calmed Li Shiwei as well.

Ten months passed quickly.

Within these ten months, Yunfang Great Shaman organized the chaotic information within the book Qi, with an efficiency that left Li Qi awestruck.

As expected of a Third Grade, the efficiency was high.

If Li Qi were to do this sorting work, it would take at least three thousand years, and he might not even finish.

Once the information was sorted, it was much easier to read.

At the same time, during this period, Li Qi finally learned the details and origins of the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance.

The Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance had appeared 36,742 times in history, but due to the special nature of Dao Resonance, each one's properties were different.

There were many, but in the face of the entire river of history, it was actually fine; only a very small number of people could obtain the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance, far fewer than the Heavenly Demon’s Dao Resonance.

And the wisp of Dao Resonance that Li Shiwei obtained, its effect was annihilation.

Yes, although it appeared to be a cutting effect, in reality, the effect was the more common annihilation of the Demon of Death lineage, capable of eliminating touched matter and Qi.

That's right, it vanished into thin air.

Just as Qi and matter can be born out of nothing, they can naturally disappear out of nothing. When this wisp of Dao Resonance is activated, anything it touches will be annihilated. Only spatial storage methods can preserve this wisp of Dao Resonance. However, the Dao Resonance itself is extremely tiny, so it can only produce a 'cutting' effect, making it difficult to achieve large-scale destruction similar to a Return to Nothingness.

However, precisely because it was tiny, this Dao Resonance became usable.

Most people who obtained the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance were those whose killing intent was too strong, even leading them to fall into the Demonic Dao.

Because, according to the information on it, the Demon of Death was still in a state of slumber.

The Demon of Death was the so-called enemy of all things. During the great Dao dispute caused by the 'Spreading the Dao to All Under Heaven' in the past, due to the immense casualties throughout the Universe, the Demon of Death's power expanded to an unprecedented level.

Thus, the Demon of Death began to try to truly destroy the Universe, to destroy everything.

The Universe is all time and all space.

The Demon of Death wanted to end all time and space, no matter how many layers, no matter how ancient; he wanted to bring time directly to its end.

Everything has a beginning and an end; since the Universe had a beginning, the Demon of Death would become the end of everything.

Obviously, he failed.

That super Dao dispute that swept the Universe ultimately ended with the Demon of Death being defeated as the final BOSS. All practitioners of the Demon of Death lineage were executed, the cultivation method of the Demon of Death lineage was destroyed, and the Demon of Death himself disappeared, seemingly falling into slumber. The First Grades also remained silent about this.

After that, there were only scattered Demon of Death practitioners; they were all born naturally, falling into the Demonic Dao due to excessive killing intent, eventually becoming insane killing maniacs.

However, after so long, even these scattered killing maniacs still gathered into a considerable force. Some of their existences would sometimes unknowingly acquire the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance.

Therefore, obtaining the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance was actually a very random thing; as long as you killed enough things, you might get the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance.

According to Li Qi's understanding, the most famous Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance holder in the world was a Third Grade Dao Resonance of the Human Dao. It is said that he had killed so much that he fell into the Demonic Dao, but at the same time maintained a clear mind, completing a rare Dual Cultivation of Human and Demon.

His destructive power was so immense that he was called 'God of Slaughter'. To this day, he is active on the Human-Shaman battlefield, and it is said that several Great Shamans have fallen into his hands. Unfortunately, Li Qi was not yet qualified to access battle reports of that level.

In other words… the appearance of the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance was actually uncontrollable and random. Because the Demon of Death himself was in slumber, his Dao shattered and would naturally manifest in other places, which is the 'Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance' appearing everywhere.

Essentially, these were all fragments of the Demon of Death's Dao, though only an insignificant part.

"In other words… people from other Dao Orthodoxy do not mind the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance. Although there will be some control, and the nature of each Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance is different, generally, it is assumed that the Demon of Death will not interfere like the Heavenly Demon," Li Qi silently came to a conclusion in his mind.

Heavenly Demon’s Dao Resonance, whenever it appeared outside the Demonic Dao, everyone would flinch, even First Grades would be on pins and needles for a while.

But the Demon of Death’s Dao Resonance was not guarded against as strictly. After all, the Demon of Death had been in a 'lying corpse' state since the 'Spreading to All Under Heaven' era until now.

So, it could be used.

As for the appearance of this Dao Resonance, it was very likely attracted by the many deaths in the Human-Shaman War, wasn't it?

Thinking this, Li Qi finally chose to give the Dao Resonance to Li Shiwei.

Since the Dao Resonance was not problematic, and Yunfang Great Shaman had checked it and found no extra connections, then using it was fine, no big deal.

Young Masters of Shaman God Mountain basically all had their own Dao Resonance; this thing was like a cheat. If you didn't cheat, you couldn't beat others.

Everyone was cheating, so if you didn't, you couldn't play.

Besides, if everyone cheated, it was as if no one cheated.

Only when Li Shiwei had her own Dao Resonance could she be on the same starting line as other Geniuses; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to play at all.

Having confirmed that the Dao Resonance was safe and understood its effects, Li Qi returned it to Li Shiwei.

For the next two months, he and Yun Fang together instructed Li Shiwei.

And then, Li Qi left that place.

He could temporarily stop worrying about his daughter.

He would focus on the Human-Shaman War. Besides, he no longer needed to do anything earth-shattering; he just needed to perform his missions normally.

After dealing with Li Shiwei's matters, Li Qi felt much more at ease. He returned to the war zone and began his super overtime, working 007.

The things he had promised Bo Yue before needed to be completed.

All matters of the Zhang Lu Small Team needed to be completed by Li Qi alone.

However, the trip to the Illusion-Reality Domain was not without收获; at least the research with Bo Yue on the light cone, and the 'emergence effect' produced by the expansion of the True Knowledge Dao Resonance and the knowledge it scanned and absorbed, all elevated Li Qi's understanding of reality by a notch.

This had no impact on his cultivation and very little impact on his Dao Path, but it greatly improved his practical application.

At this moment, Li Qi had learned the Demonic Prince's combat style, experienced long periods of actual combat, seen high-end civilizations like the Zhongwei Bird, dealt with various worlds, and already possessed Third Grade characteristics himself, capable of manipulating Karma to a certain extent, and even able to determine the future with Bo Yue's help.

Moreover, Li Qi had a huge advantage: he could retain memories during retrospection.

Even if he lost, it was very likely that through frequent retrospection, he could get a chance to start over.

Starting over, the intelligence advantage would be too great; he could easily target the opponent's true nature.

With so many advantages stacked on Li Qi, then… let's go.

Let's give it a try.

In the time that followed, in the war zone controlled by Bo Yue, including other surrounding war zones, a name gradually spread like 'Demonic Prince'.

It was 'Li Qi'.

Among the Fifth Grades on the Human-Shaman battlefield, Li Qi began to be compared to the Demonic Prince.

Because, within a mere seventy years, this person named Li Qi had killed over fourteen thousand Fifth Grades of the Human Dao, more than ninety percent of whom he defeated with just one move.

He was just like the Demonic Prince.

Among these fourteen thousand Fifth Grades, over one-third were Human Dao Dao Resonances, meaning those with official positions and dual Fifth Grades, but they were still no match for Li Qi, often being instantly killed with one strike.

In the fortieth year, Liu Junyi, a 'Gentleman' who had also defeated many Fifth Grade powerhouses of the Shaman Dao, came to Li Qi to intercept him.

This was also the most difficult battle Li Qi had ever encountered, but from the outside, it still appeared that Li Qi easily defeated Liu Junyi in the end, without even getting injured.

But Li Qi himself knew that he had lost seven times.

Seven whole times, he had been defeated by Liu Junyi.

But his luck was very good; at that time, it was exactly during a major battle concerning whether a section of the Human Dao Great Wall would collapse, and Third Grades also personally participated.

It couldn't be said that his luck was very good, after all, this was inevitable; it must have been a big enough event to bring top Fifth Grades like Li Qi and Liu Junyi here to contend for the opportunity of victory.

The Zhongwei Bird that Li Qi had contacted decades ago was used at this time. The Zhongwei Birds manipulated gravity to create a 'nest', which led to the collapse of the Human Dao's Great Wall and the birth of a huge Return to Nothingness.

Both Human and Shaman sides launched a great battle over the time when the Great Wall collapsed into a Return to Nothingness.

Therefore, Li Qi's ability to retain memories during retrospection was demonstrated at this moment.

Liu Junyi defeated him seven times at the very beginning.

Then, in the next three thousand-plus retrospections, Li Qi achieved complete victory.

From initial failure, to a narrow victory, to an easy victory, and even to the end, Li Qi had already achieved a no-damage clear, he knew Liu Junyi like the back of his hand. Li Qi knew weaknesses that Liu Junyi himself didn't even understand better than him.

Thus, in the final retrospection, Li Qi easily defeated Liu Junyi in just three quarters of an hour without injury, spreading his name throughout the Heavens.

Even Liu Junyi himself was very surprised.

Impossible, Li Qi couldn't be this strong.

But whether possible or not… Li Qi just did it anyway.

Third Grade characteristics were no joke.

As Li Qi's reputation spread wider and wider, he himself became more and more exhausted.

A series of major battles, either fighting or on the way to fight, had lasted seventy years.

Seventy years, and no other Zhang Lu had appeared.

What were they doing?
