Chapter 794: Fundamental Order
"Why, do the two of you wish to cross hands with me?"
Li Heng laughed aloud.
"Fellow Daoist, why must you provoke us into acting? This is not good for you, nor for us. It would be better to sit down and discuss properly, to explore how to dispose of these creatures of the Old History."
Unexpected.
The sturdy man, who appeared as though he should be more arrogant than the old man, was unusually calm at this moment; he grabbed the old man who was about to strike, then said sincerely.
"Then how do you wish to dispose of these creatures?"
Li Heng asked with keen interest.
"Whether these creatures of the Old History are alive or dead, they cannot live within the New History; otherwise, they will inevitably become Beacons for those Calamity monsters, triggering disasters even faster in the New History."
Seeing that Li Heng was willing to negotiate, the sturdy man answered directly.
"And what about the two of you?"
Li Heng said with a smile.
What? The two were stunned, then their expressions sank.
Was this person playing with them, not intending to negotiate at all?
"Fellow Daoist, do not joke. We hold Order Artifacts and wield the Order Authority; we are the key figures in these countless rewritten cycles of Reincarnation. How can we be equated with these insignificant creatures of the Old History?"
The sturdy man said.
"Just tell me if you survived from the Old History or not."
Li Heng picked his ear and said impatiently.
"Why be polite with this person? He has no intention of talking properly. Let's just strike directly. I do not believe that with the two of us joining forces, while situated on our home turf at the dawn of the New History, we cannot defeat this person?"
The old man spoke up, sneering.
He could see it now; this person simply did not like the look of them.
"Do not be impatient."
The sturdy man frowned helplessly.
How could he not know this? But besides knowing this, he also knew that this person was truly not to be trifled with. His dark, spiritual sense as a martial artist told him that this was a very critical choice.
Since the birth of this martial sense, he did not know how many times it had helped him, saved him through countless trials of Life and Death, through how many ancient schemes and calculations by great enemies, finally allowing him to stand here.
He had to be cautious, and then cautious again!
Otherwise, given his personality and the Martial Dao he walked, he would have already struck. Why endure like a turtle, even enduring more than this old fellow until now?
"This fellow Daoist, it is no harm to tell you."
"We hold Order Artifacts and wield the Order Authority, having long since transcended history, existing eternally with Order. Order is us, and we are Order. There is no need to worry about becoming Beacons for Calamity and monsters; that is the fellow Daoist's overthinking."
The sturdy man said, revealing some information to Li Heng.
At the same time, this was also a form of deterrence.
Potentially telling Li Heng: you might have some powerful trump card to rival or even defeat the two of us, but can you contend against all the Order of this Reality?
"No, you are still Beacons for those Calamity monsters."
Li Heng shook his head.
In his Source Power vision, the old man and the sturdy man before him were both entwined with a wisp of faint black mist, echoing in the dark with the infinite Old History, possessing some kind of connection.
"Simply unreasonable!"
"Do you know what a high-level power Order is? That power is the foundation of this Reality, even the very source of everything in this Reality; it is suspected to be the power of the legendary Dao Lord!"
"Is that something an outsider like you can speculate about?"
The old man sneered, saying with disdain.
Li Heng was amused upon hearing this.
"So the two of you know that this power was left behind by the Dao Lord? Then you should know even better why the Dao Lords disappeared, why they passed away. Was it not because they could not deal with the Calamity monsters?"
"The Dao Lords were powerful, arguably the first in the Great Void, but what of it? Their power could only suppress and seal the Calamity monsters to a certain extent, but wanting to shield against the means of the Calamity monsters and kill them permanently is simply a fantasy."
He looked at this old and sturdy pair and spoke.
"You lot, you know nothing of the truth!"
"Ridiculous, you say we know nothing of the truth? But do you necessarily know the truth? What evidence do you have? Your words are so arrogant, you simply do not hold us in any regard!"
The old man immediately retorted.
Although the two of them were surprised at how Li Heng knew about the Dao Lords, they could not lose face, and they could not fall behind in the confrontation.
Otherwise, where would they put their dignity?
"Being stubborn has no future."
Li Heng shook his head and smiled.
However, he had no interest in further idle talk. After all, what could he say? That he had personally slaughtered several Dao Lords, or rather, the traces left behind by the Dao Lords?
Then these two stubborn fellows would believe it even less.
It could only be said that those who reached this point, which one of them was not a person who firmly believed in their own viewpoint, to the point of obsession? Discussing the Dao, discussing the Dao—in the end, one still has to use power to discuss it.
"So you intend to strike?"
The sturdy man's expression turned completely cold.
He truly wanted to have a proper exchange, and the spiritual sense in his heart told him that there would be great risk once they fell out. But if this person was still so unrelenting, repeatedly stepping on the steps he had provided and tearing off the mask of civility, then they could only use their fists to speak.
And in this, he happened to be skilled.
"You shouldn't call this striking; rather, I want to educate you two. After all, you aren't entirely evil; you have merits and demerits, which should be weighed separately, shouldn't they?"
Li Heng did not care and responded with a smile.
The old man was completely enraged upon hearing these words.
This was not only ignoring them, but also looking down from a high position, despising them as juniors just like an elder—but by what right? What qualifications did he have?
Can a mere outsider hope to contend with the order of this realm?
"Then I would like to experience your high-level techniques, fellow Daoist!"
The old man suppressed his anger, flicked his sleeve, and the surrounding order instantly erupted.
What should have been time, space, Fate, all Great Dao laws, concepts of strength and weakness, and so on... at this moment all returned to the essence of order, transforming into a supreme Sacred order, beginning to restrict, constrain, and suppress Li Heng, like an incomparably sturdy cage.
"The same old tricks."
Li Heng shook his head and threw a punch at will; the cage shattered, and whatever Sacred order or legal constraints there were all turned into nothingness at this moment, like a dream or a bubble, destroyed in a single thought.
"Order penetrates everything, and it also penetrates everything of yours."
The old man was not surprised and continued his declaration.
What is order? It is the rules of everything.
Why does time flow, why does space expand, why do the Five Elements generate and overcome one another, why do the Taiji and the Two Modes clash, and why does chaos evolve into everything?
It is precisely because of its most fundamental rule: order!
At this moment, the order within Li Heng was manipulated by the old man, intending to make power no longer power, strength no longer strength, and to negate everything within it.
"Incorporating the opponent into your own interpretation? I've grown tired of playing that game too."
Li Heng felt the changes in his body and also shook his head.
"I won't bore you with talk of Absolute power, Absolute technique, or Absolute realm for now. I only want to make one point clear to you: I am beyond your known existence!"
Subsequently, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form unfolded...
