68: Wan Jie Tai

"Pour all remaining evolution points into the Chaos Law!"

【Ding! 9,983 evolution points consumed】

【Chaos Law comprehension: 15% → 17%】

A mere 2% increase! But the Chaos Law, as the supreme Law that governs all Daos, every tiny improvement could potentially leverage unimaginable power!

Just as the Time Law and Devouring Law were able to fuse perfectly before, birthing the Heaven-Defying divine skill 【Wheel of Time Devourment】, its core harmonizing power came precisely from this seemingly weak Chaos Law!

Lin Yuan could clearly perceive that the speck of Chaos radiance deep within his Sea of Consciousness seemed to have condensed a fraction more, emitting an even more ancient and profound Aura.

In the northern part of the Central Continent, the wilderness was deathly silent.

Suddenly!

"Crack—!!!"

A deafening sound that seemed to come from the ancient primordial era, capable of shattering one's Divine Soul, tore through the firmament without warning!

The originally calm sky, like a fragile glass mirror, was violently smashed by an unimaginable power!

A terrifying spatial rift, spanning a million miles with Chaos-colored destructive lightning dancing along its edges, slowly opened like the hideous, gaping maw of a colossal beast, amidst billions of horrified gazes!

Deep within the rift, it was dark and profound, exuding the Aura of Void Realm turbulence that devoured everything.

Sizzling Chaos lightning roamed unpredictably, and the mere leaking pressure caused the wilderness below to crack inch by inch!

"The Myriad World Platform! It is the Myriad World Platform descending!!!"

On the ground, the millions of Prodigies from the myriad worlds who had already gathered instantly erupted with cheers like a landslide or tsunami!

Countless burning, awe-struck, and yearning gazes were locked firmly onto that world-destroying rift!

Inside the rift, a primordial divine platform, pitch-black all over and seemingly carved from a single piece of "Chaos Star Core," slowly descended, carrying a majestic Aura capable of crushing stars!

On the surface of the divine platform, liquid Law power flowed ceaselessly like a living thing.

At times, it transformed into a ten-thousand-foot golden Dragon that roared into the sky, its roar shattering the clouds; at other times, it condensed into an ice-crystal Phoenix that spread its wings and soared, scattering endless icy radiance.

Every transformation triggered a violent resonance of the Heaven and Earth Laws, with the sounds of the Dao rumbling!

Embedded along the edges of the divine platform were three hundred and sixty "World-Suppressing Stones," each the size of a millstone, radiating a vast, ancient, primordial Aura that even the River of Time could not wash away—these were supreme divine objects capable of truly suppressing a Great World!

"Competitors from the Six-Star Great World, enter—the Azure Jade Pillar Area!"

The cold and majestic voice of the Inspector, like an order from the Heavenly Dao, resounded throughout the universe.

Lin Yuan followed the sparse crowd toward the out-of-place area on the outermost periphery of the platform.

Ten lonely azure jade pillars, like toothpicks at the feet of a giant, appeared so glaring and humble on the magnificent, boundless Myriad World Platform!

The pillars were only three zhang thick and a hundred zhang high, and the material was actually Profound Iron Wood, which could be found everywhere and was considered too crude even for low-level Magic Treasures!

The simple, crude patterns on the surface exuded an undeniable sense of cheapness.

When Lin Yuan stepped onto the jade pillar belonging to the Tianqing Domain, a teeth-grinding "creak" groaned from beneath his feet.

The entire pillar trembled slightly, as if it would collapse into dust at any moment under the pressure of his unfathomable Divine Thought!

Compared to the scene in the central area, this place could be called a land of exile!

Looking a hundred zhang inward, the scene changed abruptly!

One hundred blue crystal pillars, entirely carved from "Star Blue Crystal" and ten zhang thick, stood proudly like deep-sea needles!

The pillars shimmered with dreamy starlight, refracting hazy colors under the divine light of the Myriad World Platform.

The Saints of the Seven-Star Great World stood upon them, each full of vigor, their bodies permeated with the powerful fluctuations of Tier 5 Divine Thought!

They were dressed in luxurious clothing, with an extraordinary demeanor, and an innate arrogance between their brows.

Their gazes toward the outer Azure Jade Pillar Area were filled with undisguised pity and condescension, like Heavenly Gods looking down upon the mud of the mortal world.

Looking further inward, the scene was even more breathtaking!

One thousand giant pillars, a thousand zhang high and cast entirely from "Purple Extreme Obsidian," stood towering like purple divine mountains supporting the heavens!

Each was thirty zhang in diameter, and the "Sun-Radiance Crystal" embedded at the top of each pillar was like a miniature sun, emitting a scorching and noble radiance!

The Prodigies of the Eight-Star Great World stood tall upon them, their cultivation all at the Seventh Heaven of the Spirit Refining Realm, with Divine Thought strength generally around 70 Yu!

They were like deities in the clouds, their gazes sweeping over the outer Six-Star and Seven-Star areas, leaving only naked contempt and disregard in their eyes, as if they were looking at a group of ants rolling in the mud, not even worthy of piquing their interest!

However, when the gaze struggled to cross the Nine-Star Great World area and cast toward the absolute core of the Myriad World Platform—Boom!!!

The visual and mental impact reached its peak!

A golden pillar with a diameter of a million zhang, like a divine peak supporting the sky, pierced through heaven and earth!

The pillar was entwined with billions of materialized Law chains!

Each chain was as thick as a mountain, with destructive energy flowing upon them capable of shattering stars and restarting Chaos!

The one million competitors from the Central Continent, like pilgrims, sat cross-legged on golden cushions atop the giant pillar.

Even the weakest among these million competitors had a Divine Thought fluctuation that reached over 85 Yu!

Among them, the figures occupying the hundred highest cushions were like a hundred blazing suns, radiating boundless light and overwhelming pressure!

"Look at the first cushion! It's the 'Seven Absolute Saint' Nine Nether Emperor!"

In the spectator stands, someone screamed, their voice distorted by extreme awe.

At the peak of the central divine pillar, a young man dressed in a profound black robe with devilish patterns stood with his hands behind his back.

Despite being at the Seventh Heaven of the Spirit Refining Realm, he possessed Tier 7 Divine Thought!

Hovering above his head was a pitch-black sun with a diameter of a thousand zhang, and the energy fluctuations it emitted were as unfathomable as an abyss, reaching the terrifying level of 1,500 Yu!

On the surface of the black sun, billions of painful, twisted ghost faces appeared and disappeared, emitting silent, shrill wails and exuding Death Qi that froze the Divine Soul, as if connecting to the entrance of the Nine Nether Hell!

"The third cushion, 'Heavenly Sword' Chu Dust-Dispelling..."

A swordsman in white, holding an ancient stone sword, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Around him, 750 Yu of pure sword intent condensed like billions of materialized divine swords, circling and dancing!

Wherever the sword intent passed, the space was silently cut, leaving behind black sword scars that could not heal for a long time!

He himself was like a peerless fierce sword that would drink blood the moment it was unsheathed, radiating a peerless edge that could sever all things!

"The sixteenth cushion, 'Wind Empress' Su Muyu..."

A stunning woman dressed in a light green flowing fairy dress tapped the Void Realm lightly with her toes.

The vast 700 Yu of Wind Divine Thought turned into a swirling azure cloud vortex beneath her feet.

Her dark hair danced, her sleeves fluttered, and with every gesture, it seemed as if thousands of Wind spirits were singing and dancing, turning the surroundings into an absolute Domain of wind!

Every time a name was called out, it triggered a tsunami-like roar of cheers and fanaticism!

These hundred peerless Prodigies of the Central Continent, without exception, all possessed Tier 6 Divine Thought!

Their core Divine Thought strength all stood firmly above the terrifying threshold of 500 Yu!

Although they had not made a move against each other, the invisible Divine Thought pressure collided and rubbed fiercely in the Void Realm, sparking Law sparks as brilliant as the aurora, illuminating that area like a mythical battlefield!

"Hey, have you heard? A guy claiming to have 'Tier 7 Divine Thought' actually popped up from that godforsaken place, the Six-Star Great World?"

On the central pillar, a man wearing a gorgeous star robe with an ostentatious Aura sneered.

His voice was not loud, but it clearly spread throughout the nearby area, full of mockery.

"It's absolutely true."

Beside him, an enchanting woman playing with a strand of her emerald hair covered her lips and chuckled, her eyes filled with deep playfulness, "My Revered Master was on the scene at the time and saw it with his own eyes. The Soul-Testing Pillar's silver radiance soared to the heavens; it was indeed a characteristic of Tier 7."

She changed the subject, a hint of undisguised sarcasm curling the corners of her mouth, "However... I heard that this 'Tier 7 Genius' is only at the first level of the Spirit Refining Realm, hehehe~"

"Pfft—hahaha!"

The star-robed man laughed wildly, as if he had heard a colossal joke, his laughter filled with deep-seated contempt, "First level of the Spirit Refining Realm?! How old is he? Did he start sleeping in his mother's womb? Hahaha! Look at us, the million competitors of the Central Continent, which one of us isn't at least at the Seventh Heaven of the Spirit Refining Realm? With his cultivation, he's probably not even as good as the janitors sweeping the floors here! I think, it's most likely that the God-Testing Monument is in disrepair, or he used some shameful secret technique to force out a fake appearance!"

His words drew a chorus of harsh laughter from the surroundings, full of disdain for the "Six-Star natives."

Not far away, Nine Nether Emperor, perched high on the first cushion, kept his eyes closed, as if he were deaf to the surrounding discussions.

However, the black mist that was originally flowing slowly around his fingers, which were entwined with pitch-black Devilish Qi, twisted violently in an imperceptible way, like a viper flicking its tongue.

A hoarse, cold voice, as if scraped from the deepest depths of the Nine Nethers, sounded faintly, instantly causing the surrounding laughter to come to an abrupt halt: "Tier 7... Heh... A little... interesting."

Just five words, yet they caused the temperature in the vicinity to plummet, the air seemed to solidify, and a bone-chilling coldness carrying the Aura of death spread out.
