Chapter 568 - 543: Successive Creations of Law

Lu Yan had the feeling of returning to the origin of the magic.

Although it was not as mystical as being at the true source of magic, it was not to be underestimated. The efficiency of his study was far better than the impressions branded in his memory.

Lu Yan was first shocked, then overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected that the Tao Soul Pupil would have such an amazing effect. The help it provided him was absolutely astounding.

Immediately, he composed his mind and devotedly immersed himself in comprehension.

Ten young men and women, ten monstrous geniuses, sat like ten stone statues in the square, motionless.

Seasons changed from spring to autumn, winds blew and rains fell, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Finally, one of the young men moved.

He suddenly radiated dazzling light, let out a long howl, and soared into the sky. With his bare hands, he reached into the void, and the sky was filled with chaotic rosy light, which finally formed into a three-legged, two-eared cauldron that struck across the sky’s Vault.

Above the sky, the Magic River surfaced, thick strands of power fell down like ribbons, and eventually converged toward the young man, whose aura began to surge dramatically.

"Hua Jingcheng has succeeded in creating his own law, he’s actually the first one to succeed."

Some people were delighted; they were Hua Jingcheng’s elders.

"Hua Jingcheng is only ranked tenth among the ten monstrous geniuses. The fact that he’s the first to succeed indicates that the law he created is the simplest, and the benefits he’s received may also be the smallest."

Another person chimed in with a sneer.

The person from before snorted coldly, looking displeased.

But he knew there was some truth to it; otherwise, could Hua Jingcheng’s talent surpass that of Yuan Tiandao?

After all, Yuan Tiandao was still in the process of creating a law.

After Hua Jingcheng successfully created a law, he received blessings from the heavens and earth, his cultivation level began to break through, soaring higher and higher until it shattered its limits, and in one fell swoop, he reached the Tao Second Layer Heaven.

However, after breaking through to the Tao Second Layer Heaven, his advancement stopped, and his cultivation became stable at the early stage of the Tao Second Layer.

"For the first creation of a law, especially at the Tao Realm, to break through a whole cultivation level, not bad, not bad at all," said Hua Jingcheng’s elder, quite satisfied.

But the person who sneered before struck again, "This opportunity, crafted by the fifteen most powerful beings of the True One State, is unprecedented. Imagine the chance at hand; even a pig would gain something from it, let alone these top geniuses. Hua Jingcheng’s cultivation breakthrough is just a single Heaven, quite ordinary."

"Hmph, quite ordinary? I’d like to see just how much progress your sect’s Liu Sui can make," retorted Hua Jingcheng’s elder, rather annoyed.

After Hua Jingcheng’s successful law creation, it was only half a month later that a woman also succeeded.

And this woman was none other than Liu Sui, ranked ninth in the Origin Battle.

After this woman succeeded in her creation, her cultivation also rose from the Tao First Layer Heaven to the Tao Second Layer Heaven, and her cultivation was clearly a notch stronger than Hua Jingcheng’s.

This made Liu Sui’s elder even more smug, while Hua Jingcheng’s elder’s face turned cold.

However, they did not leave but stayed on, because they were all curious to see how the Multiple-Origin Bodies and even Yuan Tiandao would achieve remarkable feats under such a heaven-defying opportunity.

Another person, ranked eighth among the monstrous geniuses, also succeeded in creating a law and received blessings from heaven and earth, his cultivation broke through, yet his cultivation was still at the Tao Second Layer; however, he reached the mid-stage of the Tao Second Layer Heaven.

With three consecutive geniuses succeeding in creating laws, and those with lower rankings at that, it convinced everyone that all ten geniuses would likely succeed in their creations, the difference being the depth of the laws created.

In the following months, those ranked sixth and seventh in the Origin Battle also succeeded one after another. However, none of their cultivations had reached the Tao Third Layer; the highest among them had only reached the late stage of the Tao Second Layer.

Five people had successively succeeded in their law creations, making even those at the third step of the Creator Realm envious.

Some sighed, as they did not have this fortune in their time.

Having such a foundation in law creation is extremely important for the future path of creation. If one day they can reach the third step of the Creator Realm, it will lay a very solid foundation for creating the Supreme Law.

It won’t be like a rootless duckweed, lacking direction and clarity.

"Next, it should be the turn of that lass from the Dragon Alliance named Shen Yinuo, right?" someone said.

After all, Shen Yinuo was ranked fifth in the Origin Battle.

Following the sequence of the previous five, it should be Shen Yinuo’s turn.

But contrary to everyone’s expectations,

One year and nine months after they began creating laws, Li Shenfeng succeeded before Shen Yinuo. Standing high in the sky, double domains upon him, two Magic Long River Phantoms swirling around, eventually turning into pervasive Yin and Yang energy.

A sword light cleaved the heavens and earth, the Magic River surged, bringing down powerful energy.

Li Shenfeng’s aura rose at an astonishing speed, and in an instant, he broke through to the Tao Second Layer, with no sign of slowing down. He quickly soared higher, and soon after, he shattered the shackles of the Tao Third Layer Heaven, marching into the Tao Third Layer.

Finally, Li Shenfeng’s cultivation level rose until it stabilized around the mid-stage of the Tao Third Layer before it ceased.

"To break through two heavens on the first creation, impressive."

"As expected of a Multiple-Origin Body, with such a foundation, after some cultivation, he will certainly create even stronger laws, and his cultivation will skyrocket, possibly breaking into the Creator Realm in a short period of time."

Some power figures exclaimed, their envy palpable.

To break through two layers in the Tao Realm was no mean feat, as it wasn’t the Immortal Realm. It showed that the law Li Shenfeng created was extraordinary.

And then, four days after Li Shenfeng’s success in creating a law, Ni Hongshuang also succeeded. Her cultivation rose just as dramatically, finally settling in the mid-stage of the Tao Third Layer, almost indistinguishable from Li Shenfeng’s progress.

Their law creations were only days apart, and their gains were nearly equal, indicating their talents were indeed very close.

What surprised everyone, however, was that Shen Yinuo had not yet succeeded in creating a law.

Time continued to pass.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years had passed since they embarked on their law creation journey.

And at that time, Shen Yinuo finally showed signs of activity.

Her body radiated a thick, blood-red light.

Whoosh!

Shen Yinuo, bathed in the blood light, soared into the sky and stood in the air, striking out with her palm.

"Blood Tribulation Palm."

As the palm struck, it was as if a great sun had exploded. In the void, the temperature rose sharply; where the hand passed, the void shattered, wrapped in a terrifying spatial tempest, unleashing astonishing destructive power.

Such might caused even the widely knowledgeable third-step Creator Realm powerhouses to change their complexions slightly.

These maneuvers were naturally no threat to them, but among their peers, such methods were extremely alarming. To touch them would mean either death or injury; it was difficult to defend against.

"This girl from the Dragon Alliance is really extraordinary. Although she is not yet a match for Li Shenfeng and Ni Hongshuang at the same level, it may not be impossible for her to catch up with them in a few years."

Someone sighed.

"Hmph, this girl’s methods are filled with the aura of the Chaos Void; she really comes from the Chaos Void."

Someone uttered a dissatisfied snort as Emperor Qing cast a cold glance and discovered that it was the Ghost Emperor from the Three Emperors Alliance who had spoken.

Seeing Emperor Qing looking over, the Ghost Emperor returned the gaze without showing weakness.

Emperor Qing smiled faintly and didn’t bother to engage.

Above the sky’s vault, the Magic River began to manifest, and the grace of heaven and earth descended.

Shen Yinuo’s cultivation level began to rise rapidly. Soon, she reached the midterm of the Tao Third Layer, catching up with the progress of Li Shenfeng and Ni Hongshuang, but she didn’t stop there. She continued to rise until she reached the peak of the Tao Third Layer, where she finally stopped.

Indeed, Shen Yinuo’s gains were even above those of Li Shenfeng and Ni Hongshuang, which made the faces of the two Multiple-Origin Body holders somewhat complex.

Now, only Yuan Tiandao and Lu Yan were left in the field.

The top two of the Origin Combat.

"It seems that the laws created by Yuan Tiandao and Lu Yan are quite astonishing. Once they succeed, their cultivation level could directly reach the Tao Fourth Layer Heaven."

Someone whispered.

"To comprehend the doctrine in a single day and shatter through three layers, truly enviable,"

An elder sighed, recalling the arduous and perilous journey he had taken, and shook his head.

Comparisons can be odious.

"Hmph, it’s not certain that the longer the time spent, the stronger the law created will be. This Lu Yan might just be fumbling around and pretending to understand,"

the Ghost Emperor from the Three Emperors Alliance mocked.

"For a mighty third-step Creator to utter such words, it is beneath your stature, a disgrace to be named alongside the likes of you,"

Emperor Qing said indifferently.

"You..."

The Ghost Emperor glared with his fiendish eyes, but Emperor Qing couldn’t be bothered to even look at him, instead turning his attention to Shen Yinuo.

"Yinuo, you have just succeeded in creating your law, and your cultivation has just broken through. Return to the base to consolidate,"

Emperor Qing transmitted to Shen Yinuo.

"But..."

Shen Yinuo’s gaze shifted towards Lu Yan.

"Don’t worry, as long as I live, nothing will happen to Lu Yan. You have just created your law and there are still aftereffects to ponder upon, which will be beneficial for your future path of creation,"

Emperor Qing said with a smile.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Shen Yinuo bowed with a fist and then departed, returning to the Dragon Alliance Base in Origin Magic City.

The third-step Creator Realm experts remaining at the venue did not leave, either, continuing to wait; they all wanted to see how great a breakthrough Yuan Tiandao and Lu Yan could achieve.

...

In Origin Magic City, at the Three Emperors Alliance Base.

"Lu Yan..."

Atop a grand hall, a young man sat in the seat of honor, exuding a terrifying aura, his face fierce, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

This person, named Zhao Qiankun, was the older brother of Zhao Tianxia.

At the time Lu Yan had slain Zhao Tianxia, Shen Shengming, and others, one or two people from the Three Emperors Alliance and the Divine Clan had escaped. By now, those who had fled were no longer in the Sea of Magic, and Zhao Qiankun naturally learned of Zhao Tianxia’s death at the hands of Lu Yan.

"Brother, that Lu Yan has such an astonishing talent, overpowering the two Multiple-Origin Bodies and securing the second place in the Origin Combat. He is still creating his law, and if he succeeds, his cultivation is likely to soar."

A youth on the left side of the grand hall spoke.

"Hmph, even if his cultivation soars, facing our brother Qiankun, he will be subdued in one move,"

a woman on the right side said.

"The enmity of Tianxia cannot go unavenged. He killed my kin—I shall let him taste the bitterness of losing loved ones. He is still in the midst of creating his law, but I’ve heard his wife, Shen Yinuo, has already succeeded in her creation and returned to the Dragon Alliance’s Base..."

Killing intent flickered in Zhao Qiankun’s eyes.

An older-looking youth at his side changed his expression and advised, "Shen Yinuo is an exceptional talent of the Dragon Alliance. If you act against her, it may provoke a great war between the Dragon Alliance and the Three Emperors Alliance."

These words made Zhao Qiankun hesitate.

"Afraid of what?"

Just then, an aged voice came from outside the hall.
