God of Death - 552

Ye Li regretted entering the Death Qi domain. Having not been attacked by any of the Qi beings before, he thought that he was safe, but it seemed that he was completely wrong.

Seeing the Death Qi being right in front of him, Ye Li felt that death was closer than ever before.

The Death Qi being spoke. "Don't worry. I won't kill you. You're far too special. However, I need a bit of assistance, and you've come at the perfect time."

One of the chains, the one binding his right arm, dispersed. 

The Death Qi being spoke again. "Attack."

Ye Li hesitated for a few moments before he shot forth a Karma spiral, attempting to strip the Karma from the Death Qi being.

The Karma spiral, as expected, failed to pierce the Death Qi being. The Karma spiral futilely spun, but it could not pierce through the cloak of death.

The Death Qi being moved to the side. The Karma spiral flew past, but turned around and continued.

The Death Qi being could not sense the Karma spiral in the slightest.

For multiple years, it simply dodged once it felt something. Ye Li continued with the hope that maybe he could succeed.

As multiple years passed, the Death Qi being began to control its Death Qi to attack the Karma spiral. Although it could not see it, it could sense an uncomfortable feeling where it was hit, and it used Death Qi on that spot.

Ye Li could not read the Death Qi beings mind, but it seemed as if the Death Qi being was learning every second. It seemed to be growing as well.

Ye Li was imprisoned for a million years. Halfway through, the Death Qi being let Ye Li pierce him with Karma. Ye Li instantly attempted to strip the Karma, but to his immense shock, the Death Qi within the Death Qi being actually pushed the Karma spiral away.

As the million years passed, the black chains wrapped around Ye Li dissipated. A Karma spiral shot at the Death Qi being, but Death Qi cut it in half before the Death Qi being was even touched.

"Finally." The Death Qi being laughed.

Ye Li watched as Death Qi began to swirl around the Death Qi being. Somehow, the Death Qi began to change.

Ye Li felt the bones within his body tremble, and his very life began to wane like a flickering candle.

This was inside of the main area of the Death Qi domain, and Ye Li was not the only one who felt this sensation.

The clone of the Death Qi being that had been teaching those who automatically came dissipated. 

There were trillions, if not quadrillions of beings learning from the Death Qi being, staying inside of the main area of the Death Qi domain.

At this time, they too felt their bones tremble and their lives flicker, but unlike Ye Li, they were not protected by the Death Qi being.

Bones pierced through every living beings skin, and all the living matter on their bodies began to die and fall off of their bodies.

Only a single sage managed to react and run away, but a spear that seemed to be made of Death Qi, yet was not, pierced through his back. Unable to run away, his bones pierced through his skin and all the living matter on him died, falling to the ground.

The Death Qi being stepped into the universe. Within the Death Qi domain, the only remaining normal life form was Ye Li. All other living beings had become living skeletons.

Something resembling Death Qi, yet different, gave them a new form of life. They were now completely under the command of the Death Qi being.

A boat of bones formed under the Death Qi being as it moved forward, bringing along a few powerful living skeletons.

The Bone boat moved, and the Death Qi beings' cultivation was destroyed. Yet, in an instant, the Death Qi that filled the entire Death Qi domain poured towards the Death Qi being. It began to be refined and entered the Death Qi beings body as a new power, the power of death.

By the time the Bone boat left the Death Qi domain, there was nothing left besides a few normal buildings, some weak bones, and Ye Li. No more Death Qi remained. 

The Death Qi beings' strength had not only recovered to the same level, but had surpassed it. At this point, he was invincible against any cultivator. Only fully realized path creators were above him.

He took the Bone boat upwards, reaping death as he did so. The entire universe seemed to see him, including Ye Li and Yhwh. 

The Death Qi being spoke. "I have fulfilled my role. No longer the Death Qi being, I am the God of Death, a path creator. Ascending to the skies, I shall meet the creator."

Leaving behind these words, the Death Qi being, now the God of Death was let into the residence by Zhou Fan, fulfilling his promise to meet any Qi being that could create their own path. 

Not one, not two, but three paths had now been created in such a small time. Although the God of Death had been working on his path for countless years and it only finished now due to Ye Li's help, he still only officially became a path creator now.

The words he left behind inspired the entire Main universe and all that heard them. On his simple journey to Zhou Fan's residence, he had already killed more than a sextillion beings, turning them into living skeletons. 

All of these living skeletons traveled to one place, a gate that led to another universe, one not under Zhou Fan's great dao.

Years later, the gate that led to that universe changed. It became completely black, emanating the power of death.

All of these living skeletons entered what was now known as the death universe. 

A few path creators, such as the Buddha and Yoha, visited the universe of death, leaving not too long after.

Far up above it all, the Great Dao, formless as it was, looked down indifferently. The Qi beings had not been created for this purpose, but there had always been hope that one of them could do this.

No new Death Qi being was created. From now on, the path of death was the God of Death's dominion, even if Death Qi still existed.
