Breaking The Mind

Darkness and light coiled like twin serpents around the newly reborn figure, his silhouette hovering amidst the shattered fragments of the world boundary. A black and white aura pulsed from his body, distorting space and time as if reality itself bent to his presence.

Li Tian stood reborn, the essence of chaos and human path fused into his immortal frame. As his eyes opened—silver and ancient—he whispered a quote that echoed through the void:

"From ashes born, from memory unmade. I am the scar etched across eternity, the question that fate never answered. The world called for a god, but found me instead—flawed, forgotten, and bound to no heaven. I do not return to save. I return to see the end."

Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable stood before him, their expressions unreadable, guarded yet reverent. Fang Yuan hovered silently nearby, weakened, uncertain, but unbroken.

Without a word, Li Tian raised his hand, space tearing apart as countless bodies emerged—eleven in total. They were the corpses of all past venerables, even Paradise Earth's lifeless form rested among them, suspended in timeless stillness.

He looked at the three—Star Constellation, Giant Sun, and Fang Yuan. "You seek three eternal life, and yet ..."

He stood unwavering before the three venerables. Star Constellation retreated in elemental form, shifting through starry mist as her star path Gu flared to life. Giant Sun and Fang Yuan also instinctively backed off, sensing the storm that was about to come.

Li Tian's voice rang out like the toll of judgment.

"You speak of righteousness in preserving Heavenly Court, Xing Su, yet behind veils of starlight you've manipulated countless allies to maintain your hold. All for humanity's supremacy—noble on the surface, but rotten beneath. Countless corpses lie under your rule, resurrected time and time again through the graveyard technique."

He took a step forward, each footfall echoing like thunder. "Do you even grasp what happens to a soul resurrected too many times? They fray. They rot. The corruption you unleashed came not from chaos—but from your meddling with otherworldly Dao marks! You stitched together demons and mortals just because they remembered lives from beyond this world."

His eyes narrowed, voice growing colder. "You used them as scapegoats, as pawns. Was that justice? Were they asked to come here? Once born here, they are of this world. Yet you made them outcasts. Thieving Heaven just wanted to return home—and for that, you guys from heavenly court made him demon venerable.

"He killed many people, and many knows that and Oherworldy demons bring bad luck with them and the place they are in gets involved in many wars and all." Xing su words strucked in her throat as Li Tian shouted at her.

"Shut the fuck up, You just proved my point did they get to decide their own no, and you made people think otherworldy demons are even harmfull, with that their fate is decided when they come to this world. Who the fuck are you to decide their fate? their mother? their gay friend? their father?"

Li Tian surged forward in a blink, a shadow of chaos and light. "Wisdom path is not about manipulating others, Xing Su. It's about guiding them. What you've pursued is intelligence—cold, calculated, and blind to compassion."

His fist, wreathed in swirling chaos, smashed into Star Constellation's face. The air cracked as her form distorted under the blow. Blood burst from her nose as the chaos invaded her core. She was sent hurtling through mountain after mountain, crashing across the northern plains before skidding into a crater that trembled under the weight of her landing.

The battlefield was stunned into silence.

Li Tian stood unmoved. His voice echoed again:

"From the beginning to now, I never liked you."

His voice, calm yet venomous, rang through Xing Su's soul like a curse. The sound echoed endlessly in her mind, fracturing her invincible will.

The chaos aura embedded in Li Tian's strike had seeped into her thoughts, unraveling the very foundation of her mental fortitude. Though she possessed a mind as formidable as any in the world, it was still a mind—and minds can break.

What invincibility could remain when assaulted by pure, chaotic emotion?

Li Tian knew this truth intimately. He hadn't needed killer moves, nor deep schemes—just a cruel, emotional manipulation to stir the chaos within her.

For him, it wasn't about hatred. It wasn't even about disdain. He had long since severed such attachments. His so-called 'rant' was never about venting; it was a calculated strike, a psychological guillotine.

Because only he knew the truth: the so-called Otherworldly Demons were not really an otherworldly people. They were the bearers of his own severed Chaos Dao marks—marks he had sealed away by imprinting them onto souls about to be born through the Life Door.

Humans or any other life forms first borns in life door which is in the oppostie side of the death Door, and where it is in life door is not known by anyone who are alive.

Li Tian had needed to retrieve those scattered Dao marks—thus began his quest. To fully reforge his chaos body, the only vessel capable of withstanding and mastering them all. A process that took more than just time. It required perfection.

Guys, in my town, power was out for about two and a half days in almost all the houses, which prevented me from writing anything since I needed to preserve the charge on my devices, and it took longer to write and upload.

And I also confirmed my ending and how to proceed so it's going to be finished in maybe like end of this month.

Thank you.
