Chapter 916: Learning and Reviewing at Regular Intervals

Over seventeen hundred times?

Everyone's expressions changed as they watched Di Qi, who was completely unharmed.

“What… what kind of bizarre and terrifying cultivation system is this?!” a trembling voice came from among the onlookers, making everyone's scalp tingle.

Is this the terror of high-dimensional cosmic civilizations?

Each of these civilizations possessed unimaginable power. The clash of civilizations before them, even at a superficial level, was enough to leave them dumbfounded and unable to comprehend.

“Is this martial art similar to the Undying Heavenly Art?” the Demon Lord's expression also grew slightly more serious.

“What is the Undying Heavenly Art?” Di Qi asked with a smile.

The Demon Lord suddenly chuckled. “Once, in a parallel universe, there were over thirty versions of me, all talented geniuses. One of them cultivated the Undying Heavenly Art, but even he was still devoured and eliminated by us. Immortality, while troublesome, is nothing more than that… Only four of us survived, and our four cultivation techniques are truly flawless and terrifying, having undergone countless selections and eliminations to be deemed ultimate martial arts.”

Di Qi looked at him, yet seemed not to hear what the other was saying, murmuring to himself, “This is truly troublesome. If I keep getting hit like this, I can't get his genes. I have to injure him first.”

The Demon Lord, similarly seeming not to hear him, also mumbled to himself, speaking of unrelated matters, “You remind me of the Undying Heavenly Art. In that case, I'll kill you over seventeen hundred times… No matter how strong the defense, it only postpones the arrival of death and fear.”

Nearby.

Mansa and others arrived, their scalps tingling as they watched the two fighting at their peak.

“That is a monster even my master finds troublesome, the universe's greatest demon!” Mansa took a deep breath.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince walked over. “They are both muttering to themselves, ignoring each other. This is a sign of extreme confidence, believing they can absolutely defeat the opponent… They believe they have thoroughly understood the other's true capabilities in their first clash… and are convinced of their own victory.”

They were also terrified.

They had never anticipated facing changes of this magnitude.

“However, this being cannot sense quantum martial arts at all, because without cultivating them, one cannot perceive them… This is the bizarre part; he will surely die…” Princess Xia'er took a deep breath. “Only those who cultivate martial arts can contend against martial artists.”

“Boom!”

He slowly swung his fist.

The next second, Di Qi's body exploded again, as if struck by an inexplicable attack. His entire being turned into a pot of boiling broth, his internal tissues self-destructing and charring.

“One, two, three, four…” The Demon Lord extended a finger, flicking his nail repeatedly, and said indifferently, “This is very simple. In less than ten minutes, I can kill you over seventeen hundred times.”

Crack.

Di Qi's body shattered, dying countless times in an instant.

Vast amounts of energy surged into his body, continuously repairing it, but his regenerative power was rapidly depleting and diminishing.

Whoosh.

Di Qi suddenly vanished from his spot.

“Not being able to see the attack trajectory doesn't mean I can't dodge it.” Di Qi used the Spatial Steps of the Earth Mother Goddess, gracefully extending and moving back and forth.

The Demon Lord's expression slightly changed.

Indeed, even without cultivating quantum martial arts, they weren't unsolvable. Although one couldn't see the attack trajectory, if one reacted quickly and kept moving at high speed, it would be difficult to strike them.

“Got you.”

Di Qi lightly threw a punch.

The next second, the Demon Lord's entire body responded with a punch.

Their fists collided, and a terrifying force erupted as if generating spatial ripples. Di Qi was sent flying backward by the recoil, his body rapidly shattering and repairing itself piece by piece.

The Demon Lord, on the other hand, instantly transformed into a cloud of shifting sand, dispersing the force. He quickly re-materialized, standing unharmed, and said, “It's useless. If you hit me, you only hurt yourself… Even if you don't hit me, I'll slowly kill you… Those who do not cultivate martial arts cannot enter the domain of our mind-image space.”

Di Qi continued to move at high speed, revealing a satisfied smile.

“This is truly bizarre. Across the myriad worlds, there are always all sorts of unimaginable and strange civilizations. A slight lapse in caution can lead to being caught, and some civilizations are so powerful they are incomprehensible, causing one to be killed outright without resistance…”

“You can still smile?” The Demon Lord's eyes turned cold. “Do you know that I've only used one percent of my power?”

What?

The faces of those around them showed horror.

Such bizarre power, and it's only one percent?

“What I just used was merely common, visible martial arts, and it forced you to this state… You don't understand the terror of the Delusional Demon Splitting Art. What defines an ultimate martial art? It seems you don't grasp it. Well then, it's time to use my true power.”

He waved his hand, and in the void, one hundred and eight Demon Lords appeared, standing tall in the empty space.

They resembled a demonic divine void, countless terrifying forbidden beings looming above black clouds.

“One hundred and eight of himself?”

“One hundred and eight times the power? Is that truly possible?”

At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the entire Tyre Empire, along with countless divine scientists, having heard of the fierce battle breaking out, rushed to witness this incredible scene.

“Surely, not all of them possess the same bizarre power?” someone said in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince appeared in the cabin, his expression solemn. “Yes, every single body of the Demon Lord is a true quantum battle body! Each possesses equally terrifying power!”

“What?!” Emperor Tyre exclaimed in shock. “This isn't a fantasy?”

“No, Father Emperor! The Delusional Desire Demon Splitting Art plants a demon in the heart of powerful individuals, turning them into his puppets… The quantum battle bodies cultivated by these powerful individuals are also assimilated into the Demon Lord's likeness.”

Princess Xia'er continued, “Over countless years, many geniuses throughout the martial world have been infected, suffering terrible fates and becoming his puppets, hidden in the shadows with him… And the quantum battle bodies of these genius puppets have transformed into the Demon Lord's likeness, fighting alongside his own quantum battle body!”

“This is the Delusional Demon Splitting Art, which uses quantum assimilation! It is a terrifying ultimate technique with countless manifestations!”

Mansa also took a deep breath, looking at the supreme Goddess of Laws from her own lineage of the Natural Divine System, and explained, “And these one hundred and eight quantum battle bodies are not the most terrifying… The truly terrifying aspect is the genuine ultimate move of the Delusional Demon Splitting Art! It is called… the ultimate move of quantum assimilation… Union of Minds!”

“Union of Minds?”

“Yes, this is the Delusional Demon Splitting Art, truly an ultimate martial art known as a great terror of the universe!” The Thirteenth Prince's voice was urgent, his scalp tingling. “Because there is demon splitting… there is naturally demon merging.”

Rumble!

One hundred and eight quantum battle bodies, each with a backstory vivid enough to fill an enthralling book. Every single one was once a Dao-achiever on the path of the universe, yet their Dao hearts were infected with a demon, turning them into the Demon Lord's puppets.

“One hundred and eight Dao-achievers who stepped onto the Ninth-tier path, you are truly demonic…” Di Qi's expression hardened. “No wonder your combat power is so exaggerated!”

“Do you feel fear?”

The Demon Lord smiled, and the one hundred and eight quantum battle bodies trembled. “Then, let me show you true fear.”

“Delusional Demon Splitting Art… Union of Minds!”

As his voice fell, one hundred of the quantum battle bodies transformed into a gust of sand, and a black tornado swirled up.

It was as if some ultimate cosmic being had descended. Everyone trembled, feeling unimaginable dread. The next second, a colossal Demon Lord, reaching into the heavens, stood tall in the void.

“Embrace your fear, weakling!”

The enormous, broad-shouldered Demon Lord, towering over the minuscule Di Qi, reached out and swatted. “This is an all-encompassing attack… There’s no escaping it. Grand Demonic Firmament!”

Di Qi slowly swung his fist, moving like a blur, and all incoming attacks were repelled.

“What?! You saw my attack? How is that possible?!”

The Demon Lord was slightly astonished. “Impossible! You don't possess our bloodline, nor do you cultivate our techniques. There's no way you could see my attacks…”

“You mean… this?” Di Qi pointed to the top of his head. Unbeknownst to anyone, a single strand of hair, like an antenna, was sticking up there.

The Demon Lord strangely felt a familiar sensation from it—it was their bloodline.

He had bizarrely replicated their bloodline?

“Impossible! Even if you possess our bloodline, you couldn't cultivate our techniques, much less learn them on the fly!” The Demon Lord's voice gradually deepened.

“Why not?” Di Qi asked blankly.

The Demon Lord suddenly laughed aloud. “Do you understand quantum mechanics? Were you here even earlier, and have you read 'An Introduction to Quantum Theory' by Kamerlfen, a work from this civilization?”

Di Qi shook his head.

The Demon Lord asked again, “Then have you studied elementary martial arts mental cultivation methods? Have you learned martial arts mind-imagery?”

Di Qi still shook his head.

The Demon Lord became even more perplexed, unable to resist speaking out, “You haven't studied quantum mechanics! You haven't learned martial arts mental cultivation methods! You haven't had any exposure to these fields! You're an utter layman who knows nothing… You haven't learned anything, you don't know the principles, so how did you dodge my attacks?!”

Di Qi remained expressionless.

Under the Demon Lord's dumbfounded gaze, he simply replied, “I truly don't know those profound principles, but whatever you do… I just follow along.”

The Demon Lord's mind reeled.
