He gradually lost himself in the process of sinking, becoming greedy and unwilling to wake up. He only wanted to remain forever immersed in this state, which was far more intense than "enlightenment."
He was only jolted awake when a tremendous force came from behind, forcefully pulling him away from the "black block".
Chen Qian, panting heavily, realized that cold sweat had soaked through his clothes without him noticing.
"I...this..."
Chen Qian's thoughts were still in a state of excited chaos, and he could hardly organize his thoughts into effective language.
The Demon King was not surprised by Shen Qian's reaction, and simply asked, "How do you feel?"
Shen Qian's mental strength was ultimately incredibly powerful. At this moment, his eyes began to regain their clarity. Thinking of the bizarre scene just now, Shen Qian could only find it hard to believe.
The so-called calamity, those "black mists" that spread across the earth, actually contained boundless Daoist wisdom?
The intensity and purity of this Daoist charm were beyond anything Shen Qian could have imagined.
"That moment, it was like, it was like me..."
He hesitated before answering, unsure how to respond.
"What does it seem like?" The Demon King's eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at Shen Qian.
"I am the 'Tao'!"

"It cannot be spoken of, it cannot be described..." the Heavenly Emperor said.
"A calamity that even a powerful emperor cannot escape..." The Demon King sighed.
"So the so-called 'Great Dao' was just a joke..." This was the Buddha's final self-mockery after failing to merge with the power of chaos.
"You must kill 'me' with your own hands..." The King of Words smiled serenely yet sadly.
"'The Spark'... an unforgivable crime!" the embodiment of rules, resembling the King of Words, said coldly.
"How can one avoid entanglement in karma?" Laozi asked from his secluded dwelling outside the Heavenly Realm, in that seemingly withered starry sky.
...
All the information began to converge, eventually leading to an answer in Chen Qian's mind.
An answer that was unimaginable before sinking, or even if one only had a vague guess, it seemed completely unbearable!
It's not that there's a problem with the Path to Martial King, but rather... the very Dao of Heaven is flawed!
The one who truly intends to destroy the human race is the so-called "Heavenly Way"!
Actually, Shen Qian had a premonition from the moment he saw the embodiment of rules, but he was unwilling to believe it...
If that's the case, then what is the martial arts we practice?
What is the meaning of striving to transcend everything?
