The Lord of Yuanzhong who Devours the Starry Sky

It took Li Qi eleven centuries to create the third version of the Hunyuan Infinite Dao Secret Pattern Diagram.

"No, this version has deviated from my goal."

Li Qi frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he caused his clone to disintegrate and turn into energy. "The Infinite Chaos Path that I have created should allow for the infinite evolution of the divine body, the infinite growth of the world, and the inexhaustible energy..."

In this third edition, he learned from the lessons of the second edition, solved the problem of the inner world being too conspicuous, and instead made the body more resilient.

However, the trade-off is that his body size is small and his energy absorption efficiency is much lower. Although he still faintly contains the highest level of power, it is far from meeting his expectations.

Without pausing, Li Qi began creating the fourth version of the Secret Pattern.

Twelve centuries later.

The fourth version of the rune diagram was completed, but the clone formed based on this rune diagram still had some problems that he was not satisfied with.

In the 22nd century, the fifth version of the Secret Pattern was created.

In the 35th century, the sixth version of the Secret Pattern was created.

In the 49th century, the seventh edition of the Secret Pattern was completed.

Inside the quiet room of the cave dwelling.

Li Qi stood in the vast space, gazing at the enormous secret pattern diagram before him through the Eye of Illusion.

"It's always just not quite there. This version is already perfect, with the body, the world, and the energy all in balance, so why is it still not right?"

He pondered, "Before creating the secret rune diagram, I felt something was missing. Could that be the reason why I couldn't comprehend the Primordial Infinite Dao?"

What's missing? This was a question Li Qi had pondered for a long time.

It was precisely because they couldn't come up with a solution that they prepared to create the Infinite Chaotic Origin Path, attempting to discover problems in the process of creation.

However, even after repeated improvements and creations, up to what he considered the perfect seventh version of the Secret Pattern, he still could not reach the level of breaking through magic with force.

"What's wrong?"

Li Qi carefully observed the secret pattern diagram in front of him. The near-perfect combination of secret patterns made him wonder if he had taken the wrong path.
"The infinite primordial path that I pursue is a path of self-evolution, which unifies the five major systems of body, mind and will, inner world, energy, and origin."

He lowered his head in thought, "The key to breaking through laws with force that I grasped before was because I witnessed the operation of the supreme rules of the source world..."

"Hmm? The Origin World!"

Li Qi raised his head slightly, an idea forming in his mind, "I need to ask Xingmang for help."

With that in mind, he contacted Xingmang through the bracelet.

He had previously mentioned that he might ask Xingmang for help, which was just a casual remark, but it turned out to be true.

Just a moment.

A man resembling a middle-aged man, Xingmang, appeared silently in the quiet room.

As soon as Xingmang arrived, he asked, "Shall we set off now?"

"You have a target?" Li Qi asked in surprise.

"The infinite primordial space is vast and boundless. There are too many primordial worlds that have been devoured by naturally born primordial life, and naturally, there are also quite a few primordial worlds born from it."

Starlight smiled and said, "Although it's not possible for a Source World to be born every moment, there are still quite a few Source Worlds born every day."

As a lord with exceptional mastery of spacetime, Xingmang grasps the essence of the highest level of power in the infinite primordial space, enabling him to travel through past, present, and future timelines, and thus see newly born source worlds.

"I see." Li Qi said, suddenly understanding.

“The journey is long, we must set off as soon as possible,” Xingmang said.

"Thank you for your trouble." Li Qi nodded.

The next moment, Xingmang carried Li Qi away from the quiet room.

……

Two days later.

In the vast and boundless primordial space, the cultivator camp of the Zhenming World Group.

Li Qi and Xingmang stood amidst the raging primordial power, looking down at the dark void ahead.

“This is it,” Starlight said softly.

Li Qi looked carefully through the Eye of Illusion, but all he saw in the darkness was endless, violent primordial power, as well as the source world and the world of cultivators in the extremely distant distance.

"Watch out, it's coming," Starlight warned.

Upon hearing this, Li Qi carefully examined the pitch-black void.

suddenly.

In that pitch-black void filled with primordial energy, a strange fluctuation was faintly visible.

Sensing the fluctuation, Li Qi became even more focused, for it was a fluctuation in the rules governing the world's operation.

With his Eye of Illusion activated, he could discern that it was a supreme operating rule composed of ten fundamental principles.

hum!
A nearly transparent bubble appeared out of nowhere in the pitch-black void. Even with the surging, violent primordial power, it could not break through the bubble's membrane even slightly.

The fluctuations in the world's operating rules became more pronounced, and the nearly transparent bubble began to absorb the unclaimed, raging primordial power, rapidly expanding with the help of this primordial energy.

Endless, raging primordial power surged forth, rushing madly towards the nearly transparent bubble. The influx of energy not only made it larger, but also caused various changes inside, with the membrane gradually becoming more prominent and thicker.

In a short while, a small source world was born.

Li Qi looked closely and felt that everything was so wonderful; the birth of a source world was so rapid.

"This source world has just been born. Not only is it small in size, but its internal evolution is also incomplete."

Starlight said softly, "This place is located on the edge of my cultivators' territory. We should leave."

"Okay." Li Qi nodded slightly, his mind processing everything he had just witnessed.

call!
The starlight carried Li Qi away into the void.

……

Two days later.

The original place, Hunyuan Island.

After escorting Li Qi back to his quiet room in the cave, Xingmang left immediately.

"The birth of a Source World originates from the supreme operating rules formed by the combination of more than nine primordial Great Daos."

Li Qi murmured, "And this supreme operating rule is like a secret pattern diagram. The entire Origin World is built on the basis of that secret pattern diagram."

"The foundation upon which the Origin World was born is the supreme operating rule."

"The supreme operating rules are formed by the combination of more than nine primordial paths, and everything originates from the primordial paths."

"It can be said that the Primal Dao is the foundation of a Source World. Cultivators born within the Source World will naturally explore and cultivate those Primal Daos." "The Infinite Dao that I have created is a combination of seven parts life and three parts world. Therefore, if I want to break the law with force, I need to follow the fundamental principles of the Dao."

"Hehe, now I finally understand what I'm lacking."

Li Qi suddenly laughed, a relaxed and relieved laugh. "Since the infinite path I have created is an extremely life-oriented path of fusion, it must naturally follow the fundamental principles of the Great Dao."

"Therefore, my Primordial Infinite Dao is a Primordial Dao that leans towards life!"

He sat cross-legged in mid-air and began to try to create the eighth version of the rune pattern, a rune pattern that was different from the previous seven versions!

time flies.

Li Qi remained seated in the quiet room, but now nine clones appeared around him.

Each of these clones is extremely powerful, having already reached the threshold of a world-class primordial life form. However, their life essence has not undergone a transformation; they have simply broken free from their constraints to become primordial life forms.

"After nearly 30 million creations of secret runes, I finally presented what I consider to be the nine most perfect clones."

Li Qi glanced at the nine clones around him. "Although they are all geared towards life and survival, their focuses are different."

"Some focus on physical strength, some on growth within the body, and some on energy absorption."

"After comprehending the Hunyuan bloodline and creating the secret pattern diagram of the Hunyuan progenitor's hierarchical structure, the next step is to put it into practice!"

Li Qi suddenly spoke up, "Request a simulated attack on a naturally occurring chaotic life form."

"Cultivator Li Qi's application has been approved."

A gentle voice rang out, and then a huge blue array appeared, covering a small area of ​​the quiet room.

shhhhhh...

The nine clones instantly flew into the blue array, where they sat cross-legged and awaited the arrival of the test.

"These nine clones have different focuses, but each clone represents one-tenth of the extreme state, which ensures the fairness of the test and allows for quick results."

Li Qi's gaze fell on a clone behind him. The clone had black hair, black eyes, and black clothes, and its appearance was exactly the same as his own. It was the clone that best matched his aesthetic sense among all the clones.

“Begin mimicking the attacks of naturally occurring Chaos Origin beings,” Li Qi said. “Start with the strength of a high-level Chaos Origin being and gradually increase it, attacking these nine clones at the same attack intensity.”

"Cultivator Li Qi, the attack intensity will begin from the early stage of a high-level Chaos Origin Lifeform." A gentle voice sounded.

Immediately, flames descended from the massive blue array, scorching each clone.

The Primordial Land has various functions, including simulating attacks at the world-class level of perfect Hunyuan, and can also achieve the same level of attack power, but requires a huge amount of reward points.

The nine clones each had a different appearance, but all were close to humanoid. They all easily withstood the sudden attack of flames.

Then the flames transformed into frost, permeating each clone with their icy power. Subsequently, they transformed into spatial tremors, with countless spatial blades slicing through and enveloping the clones...

Despite the various attacks, all nine clones remained unharmed.

"Power has been upgraded to the mid-stage of advanced Hunyuan life form." A gentle voice rang out.

Its power gradually increases.

When one reaches the advanced stage of perfect primordial life, some of the clones will show damage on the surface of the divine body. However, the slight loss is recovered in an instant by the super vitality, and the loss is always less than the recovery power.

“Although the nine clones have different focuses, their physical strength is at least close to that of a world-class Chaos Origin, and attacks at the high-level Chaos Origin level are no match for them.” Li Qi nodded as he looked on.

Vaillant continues to improve.

"Wei Neng has been upgraded to the early stage of world-class Hunyuan."

Waves of energy enveloped the nine clones within the formation, transforming them from high-level Chaos Origin Perfection to early-stage World-level Chaos Origin, a qualitative leap in power!

The nine clones, who had previously been relatively relaxed and whose recovery abilities far exceeded those of those who had been injured, all found themselves struggling somewhat.

Wow!
The three most severely injured clones had their body tissues completely shattered under the attack, and the layers of skin, flesh, and fascia covering them were also collapsing.

Soon, two clones collapsed after holding out for a moment, while another clone, relying on its hard bones and an inner world protecting part of its origin, was still resisting the array's attack.

The other six clones continued to resist, their scales protecting them from the array's attacks, and they did not suffer significant damage.

As its power continued to increase, that which was merely a skeletal structure and an extension of its inner world finally could not hold on any longer.

The hard bones turned to powder, and the membrane of the inner world that had been drawing energy to resist collapsed. A large amount of the world's essence was exposed to the array's attack and disintegrated within a few breaths.

"These three clones focus on the inner world, while this last clone that collapsed was focused on the growth of the inner world, absorbing energy through the inner world."

Li Qi watched silently. "Clearly, a powerful inner world alone is not enough to protect enough of the source."

The fact that the clones focused on the inner world collapsed proves that the lack of protection in the inner world is a weakness in terms of survival.

"If I were to retrace my steps, perhaps it would be feasible to construct the Hunyuan Infinite Dao with my inner world as the core."

However, Li Qi did not come away empty-handed. He at least realized that his inner world was powerful and could indeed withstand some attacks and protect many sources.

"Power has been upgraded to the 'mid-stage' of the World-Class Chaos Origin realm." The gentle voice rang out again.

At this moment, the power within the formation is terrifying beyond measure; any high-level Chaos Origin life form that enters the formation will be reduced to ashes.

Some newly emerging world-class Hunyuan, whose various techniques are not yet perfect, cannot last long even after entering the formation.

But Li Qi's six clones were still resisting.

boom!
The space within the formation was already distorted, with wisps of black flames burning in every part of the space, and poisonous mist covering the bodies of the three clones, eroding their flesh and bones, causing their very essence to collapse.

Before long, with the collapse of many fundamental elements, the three clones could no longer withstand the attack and all turned to ashes.

At this point, Li Qi's clones were reduced to three: one with black hair, black eyes, and black clothes; another covered in silver scales; and the third covered in golden scales.

Of the three, the latter two focus on the body, which makes them better able to withstand the attacks of the formation.

The silver-scaled ones are smaller in size and have the most sturdy bodies.

The golden scales are of medium to large size. Not only is its body sturdy, but it can also absorb a lot of energy to replenish itself.

call!
On the other side, Li Qi's clone, with black hair, black eyes, and black clothes, had its inner world running wildly, with a lot of energy surging into its body to help its body resist the array's attack.

Li Qi carefully sensed the situation and discovered that among the remaining three clones, the black-haired, black-eyed, and black-clothed clone seemed to be the one struggling most against the array's attacks.

In reality, this clone was much more effective at resisting the formation than the other two clones.

"Its power has been upgraded to the late stage of the world-class Hunyuan realm." A gentle voice rang out.

boom!
The silver and gold scale clones, which had already reached their limits, collapsed under the array attack, which was once again amplified in power. Without the protection of their bodies, their inner worlds and individual sources rapidly disintegrated.

At the same time, the black-haired, black-eyed, black-clad clone, which was frantically absorbing energy to resist, also collapsed under the attack of the power-enhancing array.

However, there is a difference: its inner world is still running wildly, connected with many sources to form a large array, stubbornly resisting the array's attacks by absorbing energy.

"I didn't expect that the one with the strongest survival ability is the clone that focuses on energy."

Li Qi was pleasantly surprised. "That's right. While a tough body certainly has a strong survival ability, the combination of the inner world and the source is even more important. After the two are combined, they can absorb energy to replenish themselves and even absorb a part of the energy of the array attack for their own use."

"This is the path I pursue: the body evolves infinitely with the supply of energy, the world grows infinitely with the supply of energy, and the energy itself draws from everything inexhaustibly!" (End of Chapter)
