272: The Five Elements Revolve, Devouring Heavenly Tribulation

Boom!

The first thing to collide with the Five Elements disk was that ten-thousand-foot golden divine sword representing the Geng Metal Law!

Its sharp, piercing aura was sufficient to easily tear through Dao Artifacts and sever mountains and rivers.

However, the moment it made contact with the Five Elements disk, the blue divine light on the disk representing the Kui Water Law suddenly flared brilliantly!

A force of the Kui Water Law, supple to the extreme yet vast as the boundless ocean, transformed into invisible chains and instantly coiled around the golden divine sword.

The indestructible, sharp aura of the divine sword was continuously worn down and converted by this force, becoming dull and dim.

Immediately after, the Five Elements disk rotated once more!

The weakened Geng Metal Law power was not destroyed; instead, it was forcibly guided by the disk and surged into the yellow region representing the Wu Earth Law!

Nourished by the Geng Metal power, the yellow region erupted with light. A heavy, solid force of the Earth Law instantly took shape, turning around to firmly suppress that golden divine sword!

In just two breaths!

That golden divine sword, whose power was sufficient to slay a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator, was casually decomposed, suppressed, and absorbed by the Five Elements disk, ultimately becoming a part of the disk itself!

"What?!"

In the distance, within the Five Elements Hall, the hall spirit saw this scene, and its body, composed of light and shadow, trembled violently.

"This is not a simple defense! The New Master... he is using the Five Elements rotation to absorb the power of the Heavenly Tribulation!"

The hall spirit completely understood.

The core of the Five Elements disk that the New Master was wielding was not resistance, but conversion and absorption!

He was actually treating the tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao as the purest nourishment to feed his own Dao!

What a crazy, what a Heaven-Defying idea and method!

Just as the hall spirit was shocked, up in the sky, the other four Law attacks had already arrived with a roar!

Gray divine thunder wreathed in Death Qi! Nine Nether Profound Ice that could freeze the Divine Soul!

World-Extinguishing True Flame that incinerated all things! A ten-thousand-foot divine mountain suppressing the Void Realm!

The sneer at the corner of Shen Yuanmo's mouth grew increasingly arrogant.

The Five Elements disk before him accelerated with a roar!

On the disk, the five-colored divine light flowed madly, forming a perfect closed loop!

The gray divine thunder became the best fuel to stoke the Bing Fire!

The Nine Nether Profound Ice had all its chill drained by the vitality of the Yi Wood, turning into a sweet spring to nourish itself!

The World-Extinguishing True Flame was wrapped layer by layer by the heavy Wu Earth, eventually extinguished and transformed into the purest Origin of Fire!

The ten-thousand-foot divine mountain was instantly cut and disintegrated from within by the sharpness of the Metal born from Earth!

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth! Mutually generating and mutually restricting, rotating without end!

The five destructive Law attacks sent down by the Heavenly Dao, in front of Shen Yuanmo's self-contained Five Elements disk, not only caused no damage but instead became a perfect closed loop, mutually restricting and converting each other, and were ultimately completely devoured and absorbed!

Whoosh—

When the last Law attack was completely devoured, the Five Elements disk before Shen Yuanmo saw its light flowing, and its aura was several times more solid than before.

The chaos myriad dao nascent soul behind him opened its small mouth and took a gentle breath toward the Five Elements disk.

The disk turned into a five-colored stream of light and was swallowed by the Nascent Soul in one gulp.

On the body of the chaos myriad dao nascent soul, that circle of five-colored light representing the Five Elements Dao suddenly became dazzling, and the dao rhyme flowing upon it was also much more profound than before!

Shen Yuanmo could clearly feel that his understanding of the Five Elements Dao had reached a brand-new level at this moment!

"Satisfying!"

Shen Yuanmo roared at the sky, his black hair dancing wildly, his chest filled with immense pride, feeling as though his thoughts were incredibly clear.

This Tribulation of Destroying the Dao truly did not disappoint him!

And up in the sky, that void tribulation cloud seemed to have fallen into a rage because of this unprecedented failure.

The tribulation cloud rolled and collapsed madly. That region became incredibly deep and dark, as if it were a wound in the Universe, and a black hole about to devour the heavens was taking shape.

A pressure ten times more terrifying than the previous five attacks combined descended with a roar!

This time, there was no more probing!

Chila—

A gray chain of Law probed out from the deepest part of the tribulation cloud. It had no fixed form, but it flowed with a terrifying aura that caused all things to rot and time to pass.

It ignored the distance of space and instantly appeared above Shen Yuanmo's head, lashing down fiercely at his chaos myriad dao nascent soul!

Time Law!

Immediately after, another pitch-black long whip woven from countless dense spatial cracks came from another direction, cutting across his waist! Every time the whip body shook, it tore open large swathes of the Void Realm, carrying the absolute power to banish all things!

Space Law!

Time and Space unleashed together!

These were the supreme Laws that constituted the framework of the world; they were the two sharpest butcher knives in the hands of the Heavenly Dao, intended to completely erase Shen Yuanmo, this audacious anomaly!

"Time and Space, is it?"

Facing this unavoidable, inescapable, lethal blow, there was not only no fear in Shen Yuanmo's eyes, but rather an even more intense flame ignited.

"Right on time!"

"Let me see whether the Time and Space governed by your Heavenly Dao is stronger, or the Time and Space I glimpsed from the Chaos is more original!"

In the cold, ruthless eyes of the chaos myriad dao nascent soul behind him, a mysterious ripple emerged.

A phantom halo composed of countless flickering light and shadow fragments slowly emerged around its body, as if reflecting the passage of time from antiquity to the present!

Facing the Law chain that could cause years to wither, and the Law whip that could banish stars, Shen Yuanmo stood in the Void Realm, neither dodging nor evading, his expression terrifyingly calm.

His aura became incredibly ethereal at this moment.

He seemed to still be standing here, yet also seemed to have already jumped out of this world, standing at the source of the river of time, watching coldly from the sidelines.

"Time and Space are originally one, both originating from Chaos."

Shen Yuanmo's voice sounded in the depths of his own heart, calm and filled with the confidence of Insight into Origin.

In the heart of chaos origin, he had witnessed the birth of Time and Space with his own eyes.

They were not two independent Laws, but the two sides of the same coin; they were two different manifestations of Chaos in the process of evolving the world.

The Time and Space governed by the Heavenly Dao was the Time and Space after order had been established.

And what he had glimpsed was the Time and Space before all things were born!

Hum—!

Around the body of the chaos myriad dao nascent soul, that phantom halo representing the dao rhyme of Time and Space suddenly shone with great light!

A dao rhyme more ancient, more original, and more barbaric than the Heavenly Dao Laws spread out with a roar, with Shen Yuanmo as the center!

The hundred zhang around Shen Yuanmo instantly turned into a Domain of stillness!

That Law chain, which could cause a Deity Transformation Stage Mighty One to instantly age ten thousand years and turn into dry bones, had the power of time flowing upon it forcibly smoothed out by an invisible force the moment it entered this area, and its speed became incredibly sluggish.

And that Law whip, which could whip an entire continent into a dimensional rift, found that the moment it neared Shen Yuanmo, the surrounding spatial structure became more solid than divine iron; no matter how it lashed out, it could not shake it in the slightest!

Using Time and Space to oppose Time and Space!

"Come... here!"

Divine light exploded from Shen Yuanmo's eyes. The chaos myriad dao nascent soul behind him suddenly reached out its small hands toward the two Laws struggling madly in the "quagmire."

Two large hands composed purely of Chaos dao rhyme emerged from thin air, ignoring the barriers of time and space, and grabbed the Time chain and the Space whip!

Then, in the eyes of the hall spirit, which were already completely numb and dull, it pulled hard!

Chila!

The two supreme Laws condensed from the will of the Heavenly Dao were actually torn down from the void tribulation cloud by the chaos myriad dao nascent soul!

"Devour!"

The chaos myriad dao nascent soul opened its small mouth and took another breath.

Those two Law chains that were still twisting and struggling madly, attempting to return to the Heavenly Dao, were like starlight attracted by a black hole; they instantly turned into two streams of light, one gray and one black, and were unceremoniously swallowed into the belly by the chaos myriad dao nascent soul!

Boom!

The moment it devoured the two supreme Laws, the phantom Time and Space halo on the body of the chaos myriad dao nascent soul suddenly solidified. The light and shadow flowing upon it became as deep as the beginning of the Universe, as if the birth and destruction of countless worlds were evolving within it.

Shen Yuanmo could clearly feel that his understanding of the Time and Space Dao had reached an unprecedented height at this moment.

He even had an illusion that with just a single thought, he could make time in this Small World flow backward, or fold this piece of sky into a thin sheet of paper.

"So that's how it is... so that's how it is..."

Shen Yuanmo closed his eyes, carefully experiencing this newborn power capable of distorting reality, a look of near obsession appearing on his face.

This Tribulation of Destroying the Dao, to him, was hardly a calamity at all!

This was clearly the Heavenly Dao personally stepping onto the field, taking the original mysteries of the thousands of Daos in the world, breaking them apart, crushing them, placing them on a dinner plate, and sending them to his lips, begging him to comprehend them, begging him to absorb them!

What a tremendous stroke of fortune this was!

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

Shen Yuanmo opened his eyes abruptly, looked up at the tribulation cloud in the sky that had completely fallen into dead silence, and let out a provocative roar.

"Whatever other methods you have, use them all!"

"Slaughter! Karma! Reincarnation! Fate! Bring out everything you govern and let me take a look!"

He was actually actively provoking the Heavenly Tribulation!

He was going to use this Tribulation of Destroying the Dao, which had made countless Mighty Ones tremble with fear since time immemorial, as a stepping stone for his own enlightenment, as a "supplement" for his newly created Cultivation Technique!
