Beirut did not disappoint Leisjing.
Although his overall strength was a bit weaker, he was incredibly durable.
No matter how Leisjing attacked, at most he could only push Beirut back; he couldn't harm him at all.
Under these circumstances, Leisjing's sole thought was how to make his Destruction Rule stronger, strong enough to injure Beirut.
Slowly, Leisjing became immersed in the battle of his Destruction Rule, the aura of destruction on his body growing more and more potent.
Battles between evenly matched opponents were the fastest way for gods to improve their strength.
This was true for Leisjing, and even more so for Beirut.
Since Leisjing couldn't break his defenses, Beirut knew he was not in any mortal danger in this fight.
Therefore, Beirut also regarded Leisjing as a whetstone for himself.
The six Profound Mysteries of Laws pertaining to the Dark Law churned in Beirut's mind.
He had already fully comprehended and merged four of these Profound Mysteries of Laws, and the remaining two were only a hair's breadth away from complete comprehension, which would instantly elevate Beirut to High-level God.
However, Beirut was no longer a novice.
Having fully merged four Profound Mysteries of Laws, he understood the difficulty of merging them. He knew that if he couldn't find a point of synergy between these two Profound Mysteries of Laws and the other four while he was still a God, then after becoming a High-level God, the increased difficulty of merging Profound Mysteries of Laws would make it impossible to ever fully integrate them.
At this moment, amidst the fierce battle with Leisjing, sparks of inspiration ignited in Beirut's mind. Soon, both the fifth and sixth Profound Mysteries of Laws began to slowly integrate with the other four, allowing Beirut to grasp the crucial opportunity for merging the Profound Mysteries of Laws.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Both Beirut and Leisjing gained insights from the battle.
As their strength increased, the destruction caused by their combat naturally grew more powerful. Finally, Leisjing's Purple Thistle space could no longer withstand the residual shockwaves from their fight and was torn apart.
"Pop..."
A soft, crisp sound awakened the two who were engrossed in their states of enlightenment.
Both Leisjing and Beirut felt a flicker of regret.
If their current states could have lasted a little longer, it was possible that both of their strengths would have made a leap forward.
"Boom!"
Beirut was sent flying by Leisjing's attack. Using this momentum, he transformed into a black shadow and quickly disappeared from the sight of Leisjing and Leihong.
"Alas, what a pity..."
Leisjing sighed and shook his head.
His speed was still far inferior to Beirut's.
It was manageable within the Purple Crystal Space, where he could use gravity to assist himself and match Beirut's speed.
But once the Purple Crystal Space was broken, he was helpless against Beirut.
As for Leihong, it was even more so.
His true form was the "Earth Monarch," and in terms of attack and defense, he was second to none among the Asuras.
But when it came to speed...
Well, some Seven-star Demons who specialized in speed might even be faster than Leihong.
In the following period, Leisjing and Leihong returned to Blue Maple City.
After this battle, Leisjing's Destruction Rule had improved considerably, and he needed a period of quiet cultivation.
He believed that fellow was in the same situation.
...
After fleeing far from Leisjing and Leihong, Beirut finally stopped.
"Those two were so strong!"
Beirut's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.
While Beirut had encountered powerful individuals over the past ten thousand years, this was the first time he had encountered anyone as formidable as those two.
The bald young man who fought him was manageable; Beirut felt he could handle him.
But the imposing, tower-like man beside him radiated an aura that made Beirut tremble.
Beirut estimated that he might only have a fighting chance if he managed to merge five Profound Mysteries of Laws or became a High-level God.
"Fortunately, the gains from this time were quite good."
Thinking about the Profound Mysteries of Laws he had begun to merge, a smile appeared on Beirut's face.
"For the time being, I will focus on successfully merging the fifth Profound Mystery of Law."
"As for the Godhead..."
Glancing at the pile of Godheads in his spatial ring, Beirut ultimately decided to refine them into a handy weapon first!
Beirut didn't enter the city. Instead, he carved out a cave dwelling on a mountain and set up a magic array at the entrance before immersing himself in the fusion of profound mysteries of laws.
The biggest bottlenecks in fusing profound mysteries of laws were finding the points of compatibility and achieving complete fusion.
Beirut had already found the fifth profound mystery of laws and the compatibility points for fusing the sixth profound mystery of laws with the previous four. From here on, his path to cultivation would be smooth sailing until he reached mastery in the fusion of profound mysteries of laws.
During his leisure time, Beirut even used his innate divine ability to refine the Godheads in his spatial ring, then shaped the essences of these Godheads into weapons of his desire.
Initially, Beirut had planned to forge a long spear for himself. However, unfortunately, the number of Godheads he hunted this time was insufficient, so he ended up making a short staff instead.
...
In the following period, with Beirut no longer hunting, the security around Blue Maple City improved significantly.
Many people assumed that the individual hunting gods had likely left the Purple Thistle Continent for the Blood Peak Continent or the Star Mist Sea.
Of course, some also said that the person had already been killed by a more powerful demon.
Leisjing scoffed at these claims.
After that battle, Leisjing knew that such a person had considerable ambition.
At the mid-level god realm, their strength could already rival a Seven-star Demon. Excluding the boost from their divine body's strength, they were at least a powerful cultivator who had fused four profound mysteries of laws.
Once that person broke through to the high-level god realm, they would become a powerhouse surpassing a Seven-star Demon.
And this time, during the fight with him, that person had also gained considerable benefits, most likely finding the compatibility point for the fifth profound mystery of laws.
The next time they met, he probably wouldn't be able to gain such an easy advantage as he did this time.
In fact, if he hadn't gained some insights from this battle, he felt that the next time they met, he might be the one at a disadvantage.
This time, he hadn't used his full strength, and that person hadn't used their full strength either.
Such physical strength was likely only achievable by Divine Beasts.
And the strongest killing moves of Divine Beasts were most likely their innate divine abilities.
Leisjing had used one of his innate divine abilities, Purple Crystal Space, this time, but that person hadn't used their innate divine ability at all throughout the entire encounter.
He truly looked forward to their next battle.
...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In a tall mountain range, two figures, one black and one purple, and a yellow figure collided at extreme speeds.
With every clash between the three, huge spatial rifts erupted in the surrounding space.
The black figure, fighting two against one, was not at a disadvantage at all.
The short staff in its hands danced, and with each strike, it sent the purple and yellow figures flying.
The space at the epicenter of the collision was like glass, with massive spatial explosions radiating outwards from the center.
These two were, naturally, Leisjing and Beirut.
Since that battle ten thousand years ago, the two had met a few more times.
And these few battles had almost made Leisjing question his own existence.
Only in the first two encounters did he manage to gain the upper hand. After Beirut completely fused five profound mysteries of laws, their strengths became completely equal.
This time, although Leisjing had also made significant progress, Beirut had already become a high-level god. The short staff in his hands danced, creating afterimages with each strike, capable of tearing apart space within a hundred-meter radius.
Under Beirut's attacks, Leisjing and Leihong had no power to fight back, only able to endure the blows.
Leisjing was relatively fine. Possessing a Lord God Artifact for soul defense and a Lord God Artifact for material defense, he was sent flying but suffered no significant damage.
Leihong, however, was not so fortunate. Of his two Lord God Artifacts, one was for soul defense, and the other was a Lord God Artifact for material offense – the great saber in his hand.
Currently, both Leihong and Beirut were Asura-level powerhouses who had fused five profound mysteries of laws. However, Leihong's divine body's strength was a notch below Beirut's. Even with a Lord God Artifact for material offense, his offensive power was also a notch below Beirut's.
More importantly, Beirut's speed was much faster than Leihong's.
By the time Leihong swung his saber, Beirut had already circled him and landed two or three strikes.
It was only because Leihong had Leisjing beside him to create a distraction that Leihong wasn't completely outmatched against Beirut.
But even with Leisjing and Leihong fighting together, they couldn't do anything about Beirut.
Beirut's divine body's strength allowed him to withstand Leisjing's attacks and counterattack against both Leisjing and Leihong.
And while Leisjing, with his Lord God Artifact for material defense, could block Beirut's attacks, he was still sent flying.
Leihong, needless to say, without a Lord God Artifact for material defense, suffered considerable injuries with every hit from Beirut.
Fortunately, he possessed a Lord God Artifact for offense, making his attack power not much different from Beirut's. Occasionally, when he managed to hit Beirut, he could send Beirut flying.
The battle between the three raged from Blue Maple City on the Purple Thistle Continent all the way to Mi'er City in Azure Mansion on the Blood Peak Continent. During this time, it attracted the attention of many God-level experts, some of whom openly took out Floating Shadow Stones to record their battle.
Of course, due to the immense power of the trio, no one dared to approach within ten thousand meters of their fighting range.
Within a thousand meters, the space was densely packed with spatial rifts, and even a Seven-star Demon would perish without a burial place if they entered.
The battles along the way, though the names of Leisjing and the other two were unknown, were enough to make the people of the Infernal Realm remember them based on their combat prowess alone.
Few among the one hundred and eight Prefects could achieve such strength, let alone three appearing at once.
...
Above the Star God Realm, within the world transformed by Roy, the surroundings of each black hole were now encircled by gray Hong Meng Qi, forming halo-like rings.
These rings, condensed from Hong Meng Qi outside the black holes, spread throughout Roy's world as the black holes absorbed more and more Hong Meng Qi from the Primordial Space.
After an unknown period, within Roy's world, the Hong Meng Qi rings within these black holes had completely converged, filling Roy's world with dense Hong Meng Qi.
"Buzz..."
Roy's soul trembled, and he suddenly felt as if he had reached a state of perfection, a point beyond which he could advance no further.
The magical version of "Star Transformation - Black Hole Stage" was complete, and the Hong Meng Body was also complete.
Silently, the world Roy had transformed contracted inwards.
The next second, the space where Roy's world had been was filled with endless spatial turbulence, with Roy's figure appearing only at the very center.
Roy opened his eyes slightly, feeling that he now possessed absolute control over this Magic Universe.
In his eyes, the space of the Magic Universe seemed as thin as paper, easily pierced.
With a thought, a spatial gate, one person high, suddenly appeared before Roy.
Beyond this oval spatial gate was endless gray mist. Just a glance at this mist instilled immense fear.
The mist churned outside the gate, as if trying to pass through the spatial gate into Roy's world, but it was blocked by an invisible force.
The Primordial Space!
Without hesitation, Roy stepped forward into the spatial gate.
Within the Magic Universe, the spatial gate that Roy had stepped through slowly closed until it finally disappeared.
...
"Is this the Primordial Space?"
After breaking through into the Primordial Space, Roy's figure appeared in a misty, ethereal space.
Within this space, besides the infinite Hong Meng Qi, time ceased to exist and space was absent. It seemed infinitely small, yet also infinitely vast.
The black holes within the world Roy had transformed turned into acupoints across his body, like black holes themselves, madly absorbing the surrounding Hong Meng Qi, creating a massive vortex of Hong Meng Qi around Roy.
After a long time, when the concentration of Hong Meng Qi within Roy's body reached a level essentially identical to that of the Primordial Space, he stopped absorbing it.
"Hahahaha, second brother, it's a good thing you made such a big commotion. Otherwise, it would have taken me more effort to find you."
Just as Roy finished absorbing the Hong Meng Qi, a hearty voice sounded in his ear.
Roy looked up towards the source of the voice and saw a burly man in simple cloth clothing approaching him in the gray, misty Primordial Space.
"Hong Meng?"
Roy couldn't think of anyone else who would be in the Primordial Space besides Hong Meng.
"May I ask who you are?"
Roy opened his mouth to ask, but felt his words, after being spoken into the air, instantly annihilated by the boundless Hong Meng Qi, unable to travel out at all.
However, the man seemed to understand Roy's situation and quickened his pace.
As the burly man approached, Roy felt as if space was being born and time began to flow within the Primordial Space.
If the Primordial Space before was the "nothingness" of absolute emptiness, then with the appearance of this man, the concept of "something" emerged within the Primordial Space.
