168: Supreme of All Laws

[Challenge Successful!]

[Current Historical Ranking: 1st!]

[Obtained: Taichu Divine Palace ‘Chaos Secret Treasury’ Key!]

[Obtained Title: Supreme of Myriad Laws]

Lin Yuan exited the illusion, his face as pale as paper and his aura withered, but his eyes were startlingly bright, as if the scene of Chaos first opening was circulating within them. In his hand, he tightly gripped that ancient Chaos Token.

The entire platform was deathly silent. One could hear a pin drop.

A grand voice resounded throughout the myriad laws heavenly stele platform, like the tolling of an ancient bell, vibrating through the soul of every Martial Artist. Above the firmament, the myriad laws heavenly stele erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant light, golden runes cascading down like a waterfall, reflecting a brand-new historical ranking:

"The fourth round of trials has ended!"

"Historical Overall Ranking updated: Myriad Laws Realm Historical Number One Lin Yuan, Title: Supreme of Myriad Laws!"

This announcement was like a sudden clap of thunder, plunging the entire world into a brief silence. Immediately after, the spectating Martial Artists gasped, their gazes—filled with shock, awe, and fervor—all converging on the figure standing atop the stele.

"Those who leave their names in the top 100,000 are all eligible for the Taichu Divine Palace assessment! Three days from now will be the assessment trial held once every thousand years by the Taichu Divine Palace. Those who have obtained a token can crush it within three days to be teleported to the Taichu Divine Palace to participate in the assessment!"

"Lin Yuan, ranked first, gains additional eligibility to enter the 'Chaos Secret Treasury'!"

"All Myriad Laws Realm Martial Artist Prodigies who left their names on the myriad laws heavenly stele will receive special rewards."

As the voice fell, the stele suddenly erupted with a vast tide of golden light, like the Heavenly River pouring down, enveloping nearly ten thousand prodigies. That golden light was no ordinary energy but an ancient gift from the Taichu Divine Palace, containing the purest Origin power, capable of washing the Physical Body, tempering the Divine Soul, and enhancing potential!

Amidst this endless golden light, the radiance on Lin Yuan's body was the most intense, even faintly emitting a purple hue of Chaos first opening, as if the Heavenly Dao was crowning him. As the golden light entered his body, he felt every inch of his flesh and every one of his Meridians undergoing a transformation, and the Divine Soul in his Sea of Consciousness was climbing at an alarming speed!

21 million... 23 million... 25 million... 30 million... 35 million... His Divine Soul strength surged wildly until the golden light dissipated, and Lin Yuan's Divine Soul had already broken through the 50 million mark!

Even more startlingly, the Innate Dao Body within him, nourished by this power, jumped from its original 10% Awakening degree to 15%. The Dao patterns around his body became increasingly clear, and his every movement carried a naturally formed Dao charm. At this moment, Lin Yuan clearly felt that his Physique was undergoing a fundamental transformation. The Innate Dao Body, which had only been a rudimentary form, now truly began to resonate with heaven and earth, every breath seemingly inhaling and exhaling the true intent of the Great Dao. He lightly clenched his fist, and the Void Realm trembled in response, as if even the Laws were submitting to him!

Luo Hou, Luo Shen, Clear Emptiness, and other top-tier prodigies from the Taichu Divine Continent's mainland no longer looked at Lin Yuan with any arrogance or resentment, leaving only deep shock and awe. Historical number one! Such an existence was no longer a goal they could chase, but a legend to be looked up to!

The blood and fire of Thousand Absolute Star City fell silent, and the battle for historical rankings came to a close. Lin Yuan was bathed in the golden light symbolizing Supreme glory, holding the eligibility to the Taichu Divine Palace's Chaos Secret Treasury. Beneath his feet was the pinnacle of the Myriad Laws Realm. Before him was the endless journey of the Taichu Divine Continent.

At this moment, all the prodigies of the Taichu Divine Continent knew—an era belonging to Lin Yuan was about to begin!

"The myriad laws heavenly stele trial has officially ended." The voice of the Spirit of the Stele echoed above the platform. "All trial-takers will be teleported back to their original worlds in thirty breaths."

As the announcement fell, the atmosphere on the platform suddenly became subtle. The top-tier prodigies from the Taichu Divine Continent looked at each other and unexpectedly walked toward Lin Yuan in unison.

Luo Hou was the first to stride forward, heavily thrusting his Destruction Battle-Axe into the ground: "Lin Yuan, I officially invite you on behalf of the Destruction Temple! As long as you nod, the Temple Revered Master promises to directly grant you the position of 'Heavenly Realm Master,' with access to God-Son level resources!"

Before his voice had even faded, Luo Shen had already drifted over. Eternal light circulated around her, condensing into an ice-crystal token: "The Eternal Temple is also willing to treat you with the position of 'Master of the Heavenly Mirror.' My Revered Master said that if you come, you can contemplate the 'Taichu Eternal Dao Canon' at any time."

"Wait a moment, you two." Clear Emptiness walked over slowly, silver-white light flashing in his eyes. "As the head of the ten great temples, if Daoist Friend Lin comes to the Time-Space Divine Temple, he can hold the position of a one-star Guest Elder."

More prodigies gathered around, with various promises following one after another:

"Our Profound Fire Sect is willing to offer the position of Young Sect Master candidate."

"The Hidden Sword Pavilion of the Heavenly Sword Gate is yours to choose from!"

"As long as Supreme Lin nods, we..."

Lin Yuan stood in the center of the crowd with a smile on his face. He noticed that among these invitations, some forces clearly carried a sense of testing, while others harbored hidden schemes. But at this moment, he simply cupped his hands and looked around: "I will keep everyone's hospitality in mind. After I return, I will certainly consider it seriously."

The Spirit of the Stele began the countdown: "Teleportation is about to begin. Ten, nine, eight..."

Luo Hou hurriedly threw a blood-colored Jade Slip: "Take this! Crush it anywhere in the Taichu Divine Continent, and my Destruction Temple will definitely be there at the first moment..."

"Three, two, one!"

White light flared up. The last things Lin Yuan saw were countless faces, some sincere and some calculating, and the tokens they were throwing one after another. In the instant the space distorted, he reached out and swept all those tokens into his storage ring.

When his vision cleared again, a biting mountain wind blew against his face. Lin Yuan found himself standing at the absolute peak of the Spirit Martial Hall's Xuantian Peak, with a sea of clouds churning beneath his feet and the morning sun rising in the distance. The crimson-gold Saint token at his waist grew slightly hot, showing that dozens of messages were pouring in.

Before he had time to check them, a figure appeared silently by his side. It was the Grand Hall Master of the Spirit Martial Hall—Li Xuan.

This usually majestic Hall Revered Master now had an irrepressible look of amazement and joy in his eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze toward Lin Yuan carrying a bit of emotion: "Supreme of Myriad Laws, Lin Yuan... truly a peerless Prodigy."

He shook his head, a playful smile on his lips: "Those forces that came to recruit you before, only to leave in a hurry because of the descent of the myriad laws heavenly stele, are probably going to spit blood now."

"If they had recruited you back then, before the start of the new era, the force you belong to would have been able to obtain the first wisp of Era Luck." Li Xuan's gaze was profound as he spoke slowly, "But now, that wisp of Luck you obtained as the top-ranked one can only benefit our unranked Spirit Martial Hall."

He paused and looked toward the distant horizon, as if sensing something: "However, I estimate that more representatives from various forces are already rushing toward us now."}
