219: The Ten Supreme Paths of Life and Death

The three Emissary Commanders suspended in mid-air saw their expressions change drastically, no longer possessing even a shred of their previous composure!

The nine-colored clouds surrounding the Nine Heavens Emissary churned violently like boiling water, and the gaze beneath the hood was filled with shock and disbelief.

The divine gold arm armor on the Taiyan Divine Guard Commander let out a groan of being overwhelmed; he stared fixedly at the boundary of life and death that severed the heavens and earth, his body trembling slightly—that was the instinctive awe and fear when facing a higher-level Dao status!

As for the Xuanming War General, who bore the brunt of it, his reaction was the most intense!

"Ugh!" He let out a muffled grunt, and the giant dark ice beast beneath him let out a painful whine as its massive body was actually knocked back several steps by the impact of the invisible dao rhyme of the Great Dao of Life and Death!

The dark Xuanbing battle Qi surrounding him dissolved rapidly as if it had encountered its nemesis. On his face, which was like ten-thousand-year dark ice, the muscles twitched uncontrollably, and his pupils constricted to the limit, reflecting Lin Yuan's heterochromatic eyes that severed life and death, filled with extreme shock!

"The Great Dao of Life and Death, one of the Ten Supreme Daos! And it is at least at a 15% level of comprehension!"

The Xuanming War General's voice was hoarse and dry, carrying a sharpness that was almost breaking.

He suddenly lowered his head to look at the Jade Slip in his hand that recorded the recruitment conditions. That Jade Slip, carved from ten-thousand-year cold jade and capable of withstanding attacks from the Myriad Dao Realm, was actually crushed into a sky full of crystalline powder with a "crack" under his unconscious immense force!

Feather Transformation Realm! 15% comprehension of the Great Dao of Life and Death! This was no longer just potential; this was a monster capable of overturning common knowledge! It was a Prodigy capable of making even Immortal Imperial Dynasties go crazy!

Whatever marrow-cleansing sacred liquid, whatever first three volumes of the "Tianyuan Battle Sutra", whatever offerings of a Star Continent—before the Ten Supreme Daos, they all became ridiculous dust!

In the Taichu Divine Continent, for a Martial Artist in the Feather Transformation Realm to comprehend the power of the Dao, they must first condense a Dao Heart; otherwise, rashly touching the Dao would, at best, damage their Foundation, and at worst, cause their dao foundation to collapse, turning them into a Puppet under the Dao.

And the prerequisite for condensing a Dao Heart was to nurture the seed of martial dao to Perfection—this step alone had already stuck countless Prodigies.

For an ordinary Cultivator in the Feather Transformation Realm, spending thousands or ten thousand years of hard cultivation to barely condense their own seed of martial dao was already considered exceptionally gifted, and wanting to nurture it to Perfection and finally transform it into a Dao Heart was even harder than ascending to heaven!

Even those Saint-level figures who were famous in a region, those who could nurture a complete Dao Heart within a hundred years, were enough to be called peerless Prodigies.

But what about Lin Yuan? He had entered the path of martial arts for only twenty years!

In twenty years, ordinary Martial Artists might not even be able to reach the Dharma Domain Realm, but Lin Yuan had not only reached the Peak of the Feather Transformation Realm, his seed of martial dao had long since reached Perfection, and it had even evolved into the ancient and rare Chaos Fearless Dao Heart!

What was even more shocking was that Lin Yuan had already initially mastered the Great Dao of Life and Death, one of the Ten Supreme Daos!

One must know that the Dao also had different grades, dividing Martial Artists into different levels like a chasm. The vast majority of Martial Artists in the Myriad Dao Realm could only comprehend the power of one ordinary Dao with the Dao Heart they condensed, and being able to bear one basic Dao throughout their life was already the limit.

Those reckless fools who had insufficient Dao Hearts but forcibly tried to comprehend top-tier Daos would, at best, have their dao foundation crack and become cripples, and at worst, be backlashed by the Dao and have their body and soul destroyed.

Even the Crown Princes of various Imperial Dynasties and the Saints of the Divine Temples who could control one top-tier Dao could be called peerless Prodigies.

And the Ten Supreme Daos? Every inheritor of a Supreme Dao was a Heaven-Defying existence capable of fighting across Realms!

In historical records, those who could touch a Supreme Dao at this Realm were all legendary figures who eventually ascended to the position of Saint Supreme!

Lin Yuan, at this moment, had already comprehended the Great Dao of Life and Death to a level of 15%. What did this number mean?

It meant that every casual strike of his contained the supreme true meaning of the cycle of life and death! It meant that before he had even stepped into the Myriad Dao Realm, he already possessed the combat power to rival an ordinary Hunyuan Realm! It meant... he was writing a myth unprecedented in the Taichu Divine Continent!

"Fifteen percentage points..." On the spectator stand, an Emissary from the Eternal Dynasty accidentally crushed a jade cup. "The most outstanding prince of our race in this era has cultivated hard for three hundred years, and only now has he comprehended the Eternal Dao, one of the top hundred top-tier Daos, to 10%..."

This sentence expressed the inner thoughts of all the witnesses. Before that figure surrounded by green lotuses, the so-called Prodigies appeared so pale and weak. This was a fundamental gap, the despair and shock of a Mortal looking up at the stars.

At this moment, all the Cultivators in the Feather Transformation Realm present felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

Among them, there were many Martial Artists at the Peak of the Feather Transformation Realm who had cultivated for hundreds of years and considered themselves Prodigies, but at this moment, they could only look up at that figure, and an unspeakable sense of absurdity welled up in their hearts—how could there be such a monster in this world?!

"Thirty years old..." An old, white-haired powerhouse in the Feather Transformation Realm muttered to himself, his voice bitter. "This old man has cultivated hard for seventy thousand years, only to barely touch a trace of the true meaning of the Dao, but he..."

He could not finish his sentence, because the next moment, Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the entire venue; those eyes containing the birth and death of Chaos and the cycle of life and death made everyone's hearts tremble, as if they didn't even have the qualification to look directly at him!

This was the gap! This was the true Supreme of Myriad Laws!

"Boom!" The Aura on the Xuanming War General erupted without reservation! The dark and deep Xuanming battle Qi soared into the sky, turning into a ferocious, roaring Xuanbing Nether Dragon. Its momentum instantly overwhelmed the Nine Heavens Emissary and the Taiyan Commander, forcibly suppressing the churning dao rhyme of life and death above Lihuo Star City for an instant!

The terrifying pressure of the Peak of the Myriad Dao Realm was like a tangible tsunami, sweeping across the entire venue. The Martial Artists around the Lihuo Battle Platform were hit hard, collapsing in swathes.

But the Xuanming War General's target was not Lin Yuan, but the Emissaries of the Nine Heavens and Taiyan!

"Scram!" A violent shout exploded like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, containing an unquestionable dominance and determination. The violent Xuanming sound waves, mixed with the willpower impact of the Peak of the Myriad Dao Realm, slammed fiercely towards the Nine Heavens Emissary and the Divine Guard Commander!

Puff! Puff! The nine-colored clouds surrounding the Nine Heavens Emissary were instantly scattered by more than half, revealing a pale face filled with shock and anger. He let out a muffled grunt, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

The Taiyan Divine Guard Commander was even worse off; fine cracks exploded on his divine gold arm armor. His entire body was like being hit by a giant hammer, shooting backward like a cannonball, crashing through several Void Realm barriers before barely stabilizing his figure, with a wisp of golden-red blood already overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Xuanming! Is your Tianyuan Dynasty trying to snatch him by force?!" The Nine Heavens Emissary stabilized his figure, his voice filled with shock, anger, and a trace of fear.

The Xuanming War General ignored them completely, his eyes, as deep as an abyss, locked firmly onto the center of the battle platform, on Lin Yuan, who remained unmoved in the center of the dao rhyme of the Great Dao of Life and Death. The shock in his eyes had been replaced by a near-fanatical determination.
