175: The Four Fundamental Laws That Are Awe-Inspiring

"The fourth test is over!"

The White-Robed Examiner spoke with a trace of dryness that had not fully subsided, his voice piercing through the deathly silent plaza.

"The next item: Law comprehension test, start now!"

Boom!

On the south side of the plaza, space twisted and folded violently like water ripples! A colossal monument, flowing with seven-colored radiance and seemingly condensed from the essence of billions of Laws, slowly tore through the Void Realm and rose up! The body of the monument was crystal clear, as if carved from the purest Ten Thousand Laws Divine Crystal. Inside, it was not solid, but sealed and flowing with countless Law galaxies of various shapes, colors, and endless dao rhyme! This was the holy object used by the Taichu Divine Palace to glimpse the Origin of the Great Dao—the "Ten Thousand Laws Source Monument"! It could sense the Law power released by the tester, trace it to its source, and precisely manifest the depth of comprehension and precision of control!

Rules revealed:

Release the power of the Law you have comprehended the deepest and inject it into the monument.

The divine monument will score based on three dimensions: the grade of the Origin Law (Lower-rank, Upper-rank), the depth of comprehension (percentage), and the precision of control.

If one can trigger the resonance and manifestation of the corresponding Law galaxy within the monument, one can obtain an additional huge bonus!

This was the home field where almost all top Prodigies were most confident! Who among those who could step here was not deeply immersed in a certain Law?

Mu Qingya took the lead, injecting the pure and vast Wood Origin Law into the monument. A lush green Life galaxy inside the monument was instantly triggered, shining brightly and evolving into a towering ancient tree of life with branches and leaves covering the firmament, full of surging vitality.

[Ancient Wood Clan Mu Qingya, Law: Wood Origin Law (Lower-rank), Comprehension: 87%, Final Score: 770]

Ao Qing let out a low roar, triggering the True Dragon might deep in his Bloodline, and purple Thunder Origin Law roared out. The violent purple thunder river inside the monument surged and leaped, condensing into a ferocious thunder dragon with flying scales and claws, spitting out world-destroying thunder from its mouth, its pressure shaking the Void Realm.

[Heavenly Dragon Holy Land Ao Qing, Law: Thunder Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 92%, Final Score: 880]

Ripples of time swayed from the fingertips of Yuan Luo Yi, and the Time Origin Law flowed silently. A fantastical and ethereal silver long river, seemingly composed of countless fragments of time, suddenly lit up inside the monument. As the river flowed, reflecting the past and future, it finally condensed into a slowly rotating hourglass of time.

[Tianyuan Dynasty Yuan Luo Yi, Law: Time Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 99%, Final Score: 990]

Luo Hou stepped out, and pure Destruction will erupted! The dark red, blood-like Destruction Origin Law was injected into the monument. The silent Destruction river inside the monument instantly boiled and surged, with monstrous blood waves, condensing into a terrifying giant axe dripping with lava-like destruction blood, its blade tearing through the Void Realm!

[Destruction Temple Luo Hou, Law: Destruction Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 100%, Final Score: 1000] Full marks!

Luo Shen raised her fair hand slightly, and the light of eternity flowed. The pure and flawless silver galaxy inside the monument, which seemed to have frozen the River of Time, was completely lit up, dazzling! The galaxy condensed, turning into a peerless goddess ice sculpture with a blurred face but exuding an aura of eternal immortality, standing eternally still.

[Eternal Temple Luo Shen, Law: Eternal Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 100%, Final Score: 1000] Full marks!

Pressure! An invisible yet heavy pressure like an ancient divine mountain, mixed with countless gazes of inquiry, questioning, and even hidden malice, pressed down on Lin Yuan like a surging undercurrent, covering the sky and earth! His previous performance was too Heaven-Defying, overturning common sense. If he were to "lose color" even slightly in this Law comprehension item, even if he just failed to achieve double full marks, it would likely immediately invite a tsunami of questioning—did his previous terrifying achievements rely on some kind of unrepeatable, or perhaps even taboo, external force? Were that bone age, that War Spirit, that Physique, and that combat power just a fleeting illusion?

Lin Yuan's expression remained calm as an ancient well, as if the pressure sufficient to crush stars was nothing but a breeze brushing his face. He walked to the glowing Ten Thousand Laws Source Monument with its brilliant inner galaxy. He did not act immediately, but closed his eyes slightly, his aura settling, as if communicating with the pulse of the Universe's most fundamental Origin.

The next moment, he slowly raised his hands, palms facing up, as if holding up the scepter of Creation!

Left palm: A point of pure, extreme emerald light suddenly bloomed! In an instant, shadows of endless forests rose from the ground, billions of spiritual plants grew wildly, divine trees towered, spiritual flowers bloomed, and the life essence, thick enough to turn into substance, rippled like blue waves, forming an infinite green sea full of vitality! The hymn of life echoed in the Void Realm, and those who approached felt their Divine Soul relaxed, as if bathing in the Mother River of Life—Life Origin Law!

Right palm: A point of gray, decayed light that froze the Soul condensed silently! Instantly, withered bones formed mountains, all spirits withered, and deathly gray fog permeated, turning into a death forbidden zone that buried gods and devoured all vitality! The cold aura of the dead froze time and space, even light dimmed and died within its range, and the low weeping of the undead rang from the depths of the Soul—Death Origin Law!

Hum—!!!

The Ten Thousand Laws Source Monument trembled violently as if thrown into the core of a Creation furnace! The monument body emitted a groan of being unable to bear the burden! Inside, the emerald galaxy representing Life Origin and the gray galaxy representing Death Origin were instantly ignited and became violent! The emerald galaxy turned into a sky-supporting ancient tree of life with roots plunged into the endless Void Realm and branches penetrating the sea of stars, the vast vitality impacting like a tsunami! The gray galaxy turned into a boundless death graveyard with countless skeletons of gods and demons floating in it, and the monstrous power of death swept through like a world-destroying tide! Two supreme, yet diametrically opposite, Origin powers, like fated enemies, crazily collided, slaughtered, and annihilated in the small space inside the monument! The divine crystal monument wall was flickering due to the energy impact of the internal conflict!

However, this was only the prelude to the symphony of destruction!

The Chaos vertical mark on Lin Yuan's forehead suddenly lit up! An ancient, Chaos, Return to Ruin aura that surpassed life and death, encompassed all things, yet seemed capable of devouring the heavens and myriad worlds, like a Creation giant beast that had slept for billions of eras, suddenly awakened!

Devouring Origin Law! A dark vortex, bottomless, slowly rotating, emitting a final suction force that caused all Daos to sink, space to collapse, and all things to return to ruin, like the final mouth of the Universe, suddenly appeared above his head! The center of the vortex seemed to connect to the end of all matter—Return to Ruin!

Chaos Origin Law! The aura of Chaos spewed out from every pore of his body! The four elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind emerged, collided, and merged around him, only to return to Chaos and nothingness in an instant! A hazy, thick, and constantly rotating Chaos Domain, like the primordial fetal membrane before the opening of the sky, wrapped his whole body! Within the Domain, no Law existed, only Chaos!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Inside the Ten Thousand Laws Source Monument, it was as if a Creation singularity had been detonated! The pitch-black galaxy representing Devouring Origin and the Grandmist galaxy representing Chaos Origin were also completely violent and manifested! The pitch-black galaxy turned into a final black hole that devoured all light, from which even Divine Thought could not escape, crazily tearing at the energy of other Law galaxies within the monument! The Grandmist galaxy turned into a boundless, rolling, and roaring primordial sea of Chaos, where the scene of opening the sky and splitting the earth rotated, releasing the most primitive and majestic power of Creation and ending!

The power of four Origin Laws! Like four world-destroying Vicious Beasts that had been completely enraged and broken free from all shackles, they launched the most primitive, violent, and tragic slaughter, devouring, and annihilation in the small "cage" of the Ten Thousand Laws Source Monument! Life and death collided, devouring and Chaos intertwined! The divine crystal monument wall was instantly covered with dense, core-deep cracks like spider webs! The seven-colored radiance became chaotic and dazzling, and the energy fluctuations emitted from inside the monument made the space of the entire plaza twist and moan!

"Not good! The divine monument is about to collapse!" The White-Robed Examiner's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed! The nine examiners reacted extremely quickly, and their vast, star-sea-like great power erupted simultaneously, turning into nine rule chains of different colors, tearing through space, and fiercely entangling the violently expanding and light-shooting Ten Thousand Laws Source Monument, trying to forcibly stabilize it!

However, the conflicting dao rhyme and destructive energy contained in the four 100% comprehension Upper-rank Origin Laws had far exceeded the theoretical bearing limit of this divine monument! The nine rule chains were instantly shredded and devoured by the violently conflicting four-colored Law torrent inside the moment they touched the monument body!

Rumble—!!!

A terrifying loud noise, more muffled and more Soul-trembling than the explosion of the Scarlet Flame Town Mountain Monument, erupted! It was as if the Foundation of the Universe had been shaken! The Ten Thousand Laws Source Monument, this sacred monument that symbolized the source of Law comprehension, was cast from Ten Thousand Laws Divine Crystal, and had carried the dao traces of Prodigies of endless eras, could no longer withstand this ultimate conflict originating from the Origin, and was forcibly blown up from the inside!

Seven-colored radiance shot out in all directions like a shattered kaleidoscope! Countless crystal fragments containing pure Law dao rhyme, of various sizes, like billions of Law meteors dragging colored light tails, were pushed by the violent energy, tearing the air, splashing in all directions, and smashing countless deep pits on the plaza ground! And at the very core of the explosion, the four sky-piercing Law light pillars that caused the disaster did not dissipate, but instead, after breaking free from the shackles of the monument, rushed into the sky more solidly and violently like four world-destroying mad dragons that had broken out of the abyss! Wherever the light pillars passed, space was forcibly branded with their respective dao traces!

The first light pillar: Lush green, evolving into a vast green sea of thousands of spiritual plants and divine trees, galloping Auspicious Beasts, and gushing springs of life! The majestic hymn of life resounded through the Universe, nourishing all things, as if it could revive dead stars—Life Origin Law light pillar! Score: 1000!

The second light pillar: Gray and dead, with skeletons of all spirits floating, Souls weeping, the River of the Underworld flowing, and death flowers blooming in the void! The cold elegy of the dead wept low, freezing time and space, devouring all vitality—Death Origin Law light pillar! Score: 1000!

The third light pillar: Dark and deep, devouring the light of all things, even Divine Thought and gazes were twisted and sank! The center of the vortex seemed to connect to the ultimate Return to Ruin of the Universe, emitting an absolute suction force that caused all Daos to sink and all things to end—Devouring Origin Law light pillar! Score: 1000!

The fourth light pillar: Chaotic and hazy, the scene of opening the sky and splitting the earth rotated within it, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind raged and returned to Chaos! Exuding the most ancient, majestic, and supreme aura of Creation and ending above all Laws—Chaos Origin Law light pillar! Score: 2000! (Because it is the source of all Laws, the evaluation is doubled!)

Four sky-supporting giant light pillars stood on the broken and messy plaza, their colors distinct yet strangely intertwined at the edges, forming a Law spectacle that was unspeakably shocking! Finally, in the void in the center where the four light pillars intersected, countless fine light spots gathered and condensed as if having received a supreme summons, from the dust of the explosion and the scattered dao rhyme!

A magnificent number, intertwined with four-colored light (emerald, gray, dark, chaotic) and large enough to cover half the sky, was branded on the firmament like the Great Dao's heavenly Law, under the guard of endless Law radiance:

[Spirit Martial Hall Lin Yuan, Law: Life Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 100%; Death Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 100%; Devouring Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 100%; Chaos Origin Law (Upper-rank), Comprehension: 100%, Final Score: 5000]

Silence! An absolute silence, deathly, where even thoughts were frozen! Only the tiny energy emitted by the four Law light pillars collided and annihilated in the air, making a heart-palpitating crackling sound, and the faint humming of the distant divine array repairing space cracks.

Blowing up the divine monument! Four major Upper-rank Origin Laws manifested simultaneously! Full marks superimposed! Final score—five thousand! This was no longer a test! This was a ruthless trampling on the eternal rules of the Taichu Divine Palace! It was a complete subversion of all Cultivators' cognition! It was a naked declaration of absolute control over the Dao of Laws, crushing the heavens and myriad Daos!

In this suffocating silence that was enough to cause the Dao Heart to collapse, only one crazily roaring thought remained in the minds of countless Prodigies: Four Origin Laws! Four 100% comprehension levels! Chaos Law evaluation doubled! Five thousand points! How could this possibly exist in a Cultivator at the fourth heaven of the Dharma Domain Realm?! This was simply a walking source of Laws! A living Incarnation of the Dao! Ao Qing's Thunder Dao Heart appeared with spider-web-like cracks, Yuan Luo's dao rhyme appeared for the first time with violent, uncontrollable fluctuations, and even Clear Emptiness, who already knew that Lin Yuan understood the four major Origin Laws, was full of disbelief! The nine examiners on the high platform were like nine mud sculptures whose Souls had been pulled away, only their eyes, reflecting the four-colored light pillars and the magnificent "5000", were filled with endless horror, confusion, and a trace... of awe from the depths of their Souls.
