“You should have noticed that there is no ‘Dao’ here, right?” the Demon King asked.
"Yes, it seems there are some issues with the flow of time and the gravitational pull of space as well." Shen Qian nodded.
"Then what kind of place do you think would not have 'Tao' or rules, and where even time and space would seem to be frozen?"
The Demon King smiled slightly.
Shen Qian opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't answer.
This is actually a false proposition.
Even the weakest martial artist knows that although the Dao of Heaven is ethereal and elusive, it is omnipresent, just like time, ignoring dimensions and distance.
How could there be a place where even the "Tao" does not exist?
Even if the dimensional domain summoned by the king himself seems to shield others' "Dao", isn't it also a manifestation of the king's own "Dao"?
So this space is like a bug.
But vaguely, it seemed as if an answer was emerging in Shen Qian's mind.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Qian, and he blurted out, "Chaos!"
The "chaos" that Shen Qian mentioned was not the chaos of "chaotic power," but a state, but he believed that the Demon King would understand.
Sure enough, the Demon King clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right, it's 'chaos'! When is there no 'Dao'? When is there no rule? Only before the beginning of heaven and earth, when everything was being conceived!"
Having received the Demon King's confirmation, Shen Qian finally understood why the Demon King had described this place as an "embryo"!
If this space is equal to the chaos before everything appeared, then it is actually the embryo of the universe, the beginning of everything!
New problems have arisen.
Why does such a space exist on Earth? Why do all races know about the existence of the "key"? And because of this so-called "key," all races launched a war of annihilation against humanity. Why did the Nine Kings seal this place off...? No, this should also be orchestrated by the Demon King.
The other party has been hiding in this space all along, and Shen Qian probably doesn't even know about it, not even Big Boss Gao.
At this moment, the Demon King suddenly said, "Weren't you curious about my condition? Come, let me show you."
With that, the Demon King waved his hand, and Chen Qian's vision blurred for a moment. When he reappeared, he was already standing side by side with the Demon King on the back of the enormous demon beast.
“My true form has been dormant here for countless years. You guessed it, I am not dead, and I am not even injured. But I can only hide here, as if I am barely surviving.”
The Demon King chuckled self-deprecatingly, "A dignified Demon King, a peak Great Emperor... isn't it too beneath you to say that in your modern language?"
Before Shen Qian could answer, to Shen Qian's astonishment, the Demon King suddenly pointed his fingers like a knife and stabbed downwards, actually opening a gash in his own spine.
Immediately afterwards, the Demon King tore at the crack with both hands and ripped it open. With a "whoosh," the crack spread into a gaping hole a hundred feet long, revealing the inside of the demon beast's body.
Shen Qian was initially bewildered, not understanding why the Demon King would do this. But when the gap appeared and he could see the scene inside the demon beast's body, Shen Qian suddenly shrank back and almost cried out in surprise.
Although the Demon King's body is filled with blood vessels and various organs, it is not actually bloody. On the contrary, the body organs are crystal clear, like colorful dreamlike crystal gems, containing the beauty of the world.
But the real reason that Shen Qian lost his composure was that there were many solidified "black lumps" inside the Demon King's body.
Those black, unidentified objects resembled a grotesque, clustered virus, intertwined and entangled among the blood vessels and tissues, like black vines clinging to them, extending deep into the Demon King's body without end.
Before sinking, he immediately felt that these "black blocks" looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
When he tried to recall his memories, he immediately realized that more than half a year ago, on the day the Earth underwent a “celestial change,” it was also the day that many “doors” opened at the same time, and an endless black mist suddenly appeared in the sky.
If those black mists also solidify, wouldn't they become the "black blocks" in front of us?
"What...what is this?"
He murmured before sinking in.
"This is the 'calamity' that no Emperor-level expert can escape."
The Demon King calmly said, "It has also been the source of your human race's long-standing calamities. You might as well try touching it yourself; perhaps you will get the answer."
Upon hearing the Demon King's words, Shen Qian took a deep breath, then took a few steps forward and carefully reached out his hand to touch the nearest "black block".
The moment Chen Qian's fingers touched the "black block," his mind seemed to explode with a "boom," and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Upon closer inspection, Shenqian's eyeballs began to move rapidly, clearly indicating that he had entered a state of defocus.
Countless pieces of information, a jumble of yet supreme knowledge, were flooding into his mind.
It wasn't pain, nor was it a struggle, but rather... an indescribable, ultimate pleasure.
Yes, what the hell! This "black block" actually brings pleasure to Shen Qian!
This wasn't the kind of physical pleasure, but rather a tremendous mental shock.
In that instant, Shen Qian discovered that his understanding of the "Tao" was rapidly improving, as if his talent had increased thousands or tens of thousands of times in an instant—an experience that the system had never given him.
He discovered that his martial arts had become unhindered. It seemed that as long as he wanted, he could break through to the King or Marquis level at any time, or even become a Heavenly Martial King. Moreover, given enough time and following this spiritual guidance, becoming an emperor was just around the corner!
