615: There is only progress, no retreat

After exchanging blows with Li a few times, Li Qi had to acknowledge a fact.

That was that he truly could not defeat his opponent!

If he continued to stubbornly fight the opponent... defeat and death were already a foregone conclusion!

Under the Dao, Li occupied a massive geographical advantage, and the power of the Dao he could borrow was far superior to Li Qi's!

But was there no possibility for Li Qi to turn defeat into victory?

Of course not!

Li Qi was located in the place where the Dao resided, and the opportunity for him to turn defeat into victory... was right within this Dao!

He had already comprehended two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine of the Three Thousand Great Daos, missing only the final one: the [Causality Dao].

If he could find a way to obtain this final [Causality Dao], Li Qi would achieve perfection and make a Breakthrough to a higher Realm!

At that time, he would tower above Li and easily suppress him!

However, rashly rushing into the Dao was extremely dangerous; one would be assimilated by the Fusion of the Dao, and if one could not successfully escape from the Dao, they would remain in the Dao forever...

In a trance, a flash of enlightenment crossed Li Qi's mind.

Perhaps, this was the final test of the Dao for all Limit Lords!

Only if one possessed the Aura and determination to risk everything would it be possible to master that final [Causality Dao]!

This was a path that belonged only to the fearless!

Advance, no retreat!

As for the method Li had devised—annihilating the All Heavens and Myriad Realms time and time again, and continuously devouring one Child of the Great Path after another... that was merely an Evil Path.

In the end, it was highly unlikely to succeed.

After making his decision, Li Qi did not hesitate any longer and plunged headfirst into the Dao!

Seeing this, Li's eyes split with rage, and he screamed, "No!!!"

Li Qi would rather die within the Dao, rather be assimilated by the Dao... than die at his hands!

This made Li even more frantic. His eyes were blood-red, emitting a terrifying light. With a movement of his figure, Li also rushed toward the Dao!

But right before the Dao, at the very instant he was about to touch the Dao... Li's figure stopped.

He hesitated!

He had once rushed into the Dao before, suffered quite a bit, almost got trapped in the depths of the Dao, and almost did not make it back.

This had cast a great shadow over Li's mind.

All his great power came from the Dao, yet he was also incomparably afraid of the Dao, avoiding it like a poisonous snake or scorpion, not daring to step foot into it easily.

This was a very contradictory and intense emotion, constantly gnawing at his heart, leaving him in constant torment!

It was precisely because of this reason that Li had developed such a twisted and deformed personality.

The Li of today was no longer the Li of the past...

He had long since gone mad!

"Why?"

"Why?!!!"

"You would rather die... than come to fulfill me!"

"Hahahaha... Li Qi, you will regret this!"

"Do you think that just because you are dead, I cannot do anything to you?"

"I will slaughter all your friends and family! I will make them taste the most painful tortures in the world before dying miserably! Hahahaha..."

"You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!!!"

"You will regret your actions today!"

...

After entering the Dao, Li Qi could no longer hear the curses and maledictions from the outside world; his entire attention had been captured by the mysterious scenery before him.

This was the starting point of all things, and it also contained all the mysteries of the world.

Pieces of Great Dao Text radiated golden light, slowly passing before Li Qi's eyes like swimming fish.

Furthermore, the sound of the Dao resonated in his ears!

If one looked carefully into it, one could even see various profound cultivation techniques and supreme truths of the world!

With a glance, Li Qi scanned all these Three Thousand Great Daos, but he did not see what he wanted.

Li Qi's heart jolted. He reined in his focus, knowing this was not the time to sightsee, and immediately shouted.

"System, this is the depths of the Dao; the Causality Dao is hidden here!"

"Start the deduction and analysis immediately!"

"Find the Causality Dao for me!!!"

This was Li Qi's final trump card.

The System!

It was his greatest reliance!

Turning the tables in this desperate situation depended on it!

Previously, Li Qi had arranged for his Clones to head to several major Source Realms to search for and plunder crystal mineral veins, accumulating a terrifying amount of Potential Points; now, they were finally coming in handy.

On the System interface, Potential Points were being consumed at a terrifying speed, and a large amount of fragmented memories related to the [Causality Dao] began to appear in Li Qi's mind!

The speed at which the System was operating was unprecedented; it seemed the System also knew that this was the final moment, and its performance was pushed to the max!

A long time ago, Li had also come here and attempted to comprehend the [Causality Dao], but Li could only rely on his own brain, while Li Qi was different... he relied on the System!

Convenient and easy to use!

After all, a brain would get tired and confused after being used too much, but the System absolutely did not have such problems; the System was consistently analyzing at the highest speed.

The situation on the System's side was going smoothly, but the evil consequences of breaking into the depths of the Dao were beginning to appear...

The Three Thousand Great Daos he had mastered were being forgotten and disappearing!

They were beginning to return to the Dao!
