Chapter 16: Wuchen VS Hongjun
In the dark cave, Wuchen sat cross-legged on a stone platform, his magical power surging around him, the aura of laws and rules intertwined, and the green lotus in his dantian swayed incessantly.
It was clear that they had reached the edge of a breakthrough.
The Jade Disc of Creation records the complete rules. Breakthrough is just the final step, but Wuchen chose to integrate it with himself, which took some time.
now.
The spiritual energy inside the cave had long been swept away, and fine ripples spread across the surrounding space. Even the void was torn apart by the overflowing power of the laws emanating from his body.
Wuchen closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his dantian, watching the Creation Lotus tremble gently in the torrent of magical power, with various colors of light flowing on the closed lotus petals.
This is a manifestation of the gradual fusion of the power of laws and the power of rules.
Instead of rushing to break through the barriers of realm, he used his own purification of the origin Dao as a guide to imprint the rules of each Dao into his soul and Dao foundation little by little.
The Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivates the control of laws, while the Dao Venerable needs to condense the Dao Fruit of rules, establish his own Dao lineage, transcend the shackles of the Great Luo, and touch the threshold of the Dao Lord.
Suddenly, Wuchen's aura solidified, and the intertwined power of laws suddenly surged, transforming into streams of light that pierced into his limbs and bones.
The Primordial Lotus within his dantian trembled violently, its petals slowly unfurling.
Flowers bloom, fruits ripen.
The newly blossoming Primordial Lotus, with its tender green seeds within its pores, has completely fused with all the laws and their corresponding higher-level rules.
The lotus platform was engraved with countless profound runes, which were his unique cultivation techniques, formed by integrating the rules of the Jade Tablet of Creation.
The lotus platform represents the pure and untainted path to enlightenment.
Endless rays of light emerged from the cave, and the primordial world seemed to respond, with countless laws of nature appearing and transforming into auspicious energy that enveloped it.
The once solid barrier of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm hummed under his full-force impact, and then shattered inch by inch like glass.
Vast and boundless magical power surged forth from Wuchen's body, and the aura of rules surrounding him was completely condensed, transforming into a halo of Daoist charm that enveloped him.
His primordial spirit became increasingly clear, and he could clearly see the workings of the rules of heaven and earth, and even glimpse the past and future.
Only then did the Creation Lotus within his dantian finally bloom, and his realm officially transitioned from Great Luo Golden Immortal to Dao Venerable.
Compared to the primordial realm, which is equivalent to Quasi-Saint and Primordial Golden Immortal.
After an unknown amount of time, the cave returned to calm.
Wuchen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a profound Daoist aura as deep as the starry sky.
His aura was restrained, and he seemed no different from an ordinary cultivator, but anyone who got close could feel the pressure emanating from the level of rules.
That was the supreme majesty of someone who had transcended the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and entered the early stage of the Dao Venerable realm.
He raised his hand and flicked it lightly, a wisp of condensed power of rules swirling around his fingertips, capable of freely influencing the creation of heaven and earth and controlling a region of time and space.
The leap from Great Luo Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint is not only a leap in cultivation level, but also an elevation of one's Dao heart and Dao foundation.
He took the Pure White Lotus as his foundation, the Creation Blue Lotus as his root, and the Jade Tablet of Creation as his seed, thus forging his own unique path.
Its foundation is so solid that it far surpasses that of ordinary quasi-saints.
The surging magical power around him completely returned to his dantian, the Creation Lotus floated quietly, the Dao Fruit was perfectly round and flawless, and Wuchen slowly rose up.
The surrounding space automatically smoothed out, and the atmosphere inside the cave became increasingly peaceful.
Only after this breakthrough is the achievement complete.
This was merely a step forward towards his ultimate goal.
"Um?"
Wu Chen frowned slightly, sensing a strange gaze upon him.
That's some really good timing.
In the entire primordial world, only Hongjun has the potential to find his whereabouts.
But that's perfect.
Wuchen also wanted to see how big the gap was between himself, who had entered the Dao Venerable realm, and Hongjun.
With the protection of regulated purification powers and the divine-killing spear capable of harming saints as its blade, even a saint of the Heavenly Dao might not be invincible in a fight.
With a swift movement, Wuchen broke through the innate array protecting this area.
He stood high in the sky, holding the God-Slaying Spear.
"Hongjun, come and fight!"
Wuchen's voice resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world, even breaking out of the prehistoric world and entering the chaos.
The myriad spirits of the primordial world, the witch clan deep within the sea of blood, the Western guides Jieyin and Zhunti, and beings searching for and already arriving at Zixiao Palace.
Everyone heard Wuchen's challenge and was greatly shocked.
A challenge to the sage?
Are you kidding me?
Could it be that the other party has also attained sainthood?
That shouldn't be the case.
When Hongjun attained sainthood, the commotion was so great, how could the other party have remained silent?
Shocked and confused.
Those with great supernatural powers all turned their attention to Wuchen.
But then he stood in the air, holding the God-Slaying Spear, his body radiating a Daoist aura that was completely different from that of the saints, yet equally powerful.
However, although his Daoist aura was strong, it was still somewhat inferior to that of a sage.
"It's that senior!"
On Mount Sumeru, Zhunti suddenly turned his head to look at Jieyin.
They had seen Wuchen before, how could they not recognize him?
Jieyin frowned, wondering, "Why would a senior like you challenge a sage?"
Other beings, including the Wu Clan, the Three Pure Ones, and Nuwa, did not recognize Wuchen, since they either had never seen him before or had only seen his avatar.
"Ha, so you've just given up?"
As Hongjun chuckled, he appeared out of thin air in front of Wuchen, a mocking smile on his lips.
He had just locked onto Wuchen's trail when Wuchen jumped out to challenge him.
In his view, it was nothing more than a cornered dog resorting to desperate measures.
"Accept your fate?"
Wuchen smiled contemptuously, pointing the God-Slaying Spear at Hongjun: "Although you are a Heavenly Saint, it won't be so easy for you to eliminate me."
Upon hearing this, Hongjun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the Heavenly Dao rules around him surged, transforming into endless chaotic clouds that swept across the four directions, causing the entire prehistoric world to tremble.
It was as if the ruler of heaven and earth had descended with divine might, intending to crush all those who defied him into dust.
Hongjun raised his hand and pressed down, and the power of various rules intertwined and merged, condensing into a huge hand of rules, which went straight towards Wuchen to suppress him.
The fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation that he controlled contained thousands of rules, and the seemingly ordinary Hand of Rules was the manifestation of these thousands of rules.
Let alone a mere quasi-saint, even a saint of the same level would find it difficult to withstand. The moment it touches them, their souls will be scattered, and they will not even have a chance to reincarnate.
"Hongjun, Hongjun, you think you can suppress me with such petty tricks? Should I say you underestimate me, or that you are simply too ignorant?"
Wuchen remained calm, his expression even carrying a hint of mockery.
With a slight thrust of his right hand, the God-Slaying Spear shot forth, and a pure white light suddenly shot into the sky, striking the descending Hand of Rules like a sharp sword.
The radiance, though seemingly gentle, contains the supreme purifying power to cleanse all things.
The moment the Hand of Rules touched the Divine Light of Purification, it was tightly bound by the Radiance of Purification, and the power of each rule was stripped away and purified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the hand of rules transformed into the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth and dissipated into the void.
No matter how many rules Hongjun controlled, or how much saintly power he possessed, they all crumbled inch by inch before the power of purification, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.
