The champion is born

"Hahaha! Do you know the gap now?" True God Zidian laughed wildly as he pursued, pale blue lightning surging towards White Night like a tide, blocking all his evasion routes.

Lieyang's expression changed drastically in the spectator stands, clenching his fists: "Oh no! Zidian is going for the kill!"

Just at this critical moment, a glint flashed in White Night's eyes.

He suddenly plunged the Eternal Demon Blade into the ground. The lightning in his violet-gold divine domain instantly transformed into countless tiny threads of light. The moment these threads touched the ground, the entire arena was intricately carved into a precise Law Formation.

"This is... the Chaos Lightning Formation?!" Divine Venerable Qiming exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

True God Zidian also sensed something was wrong and tried to retreat, but found his feet entangled by the light threads within the lightning formation.

Under the erosion of the light threads, the pale blue lightning actually began to slowly dissipate.

"Devouring Law... Impossible! How could you master such pure Devouring Law?!" True God Zidian shrieked, his face filled with terror.

White Night gave him no chance to react, his figure suddenly vanishing within the lightning formation.

The next moment, he appeared behind True God Zidian, the Eternal Demon Blade, wreathed in violet-gold lightning, silently slashing towards his neck.

True God Zidian sensed the danger, spun around abruptly, and used the pale blue lightning on his arm to block.

But this time, he was wrong.

The Eternal Demon Blade sliced through his lightning defense as if cutting tofu, then smoothly severed one of his arms.

The violet-gold lightning exploded on his wound, instantly sealing his Law power.

"Ah—!" True God Zidian let out a mournful scream, his eyes filled with pain and disbelief.

He couldn't understand how he, a dignified High-ranking True God, could have his arm severed by a Middle True God.

The entire venue fell silent once more.

After a long while, the God Conferring Plaza erupted in a thunderous clamor:

"True God Zidian lost?! And had his arm severed?!"

"What kind of monster is this White Night? A Middle True God actually defeated a High-ranking True God?!"

"Did I see that correctly? He just used the Chaos Lightning Formation? Isn't that a divine ability only God Kings can master?"

Divine Venerable Qiming's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded slightly to White Night: "Promotion match, first battle, White Night wins."

White Night put away his Eternal Demon Blade and turned to walk off the arena.

He could feel that after defeating Zidian, the Law power within him had undergone a subtle change, as if something was about to break through.

Lieyang hurried to meet him, his shock even more intense than before: "Little friend White Night, you... you truly opened this old man's eyes! A Middle True God defeating a High-ranking True God, this is unprecedented in the history of the Eternal God Realm!"

White Night smiled, but said nothing. He knew this was just the beginning; the real challenges lay ahead.

In the following days, White Night continued his triumphant advance in the promotion matches.

Neither True God Tuxing, who mastered Earth Law, nor True God Hunying, who specialized in soul attacks, could last more than twenty moves against him.

His name became the most dazzling presence at the Eternal Assembly, attracting more and more attention to this dark horse who had suddenly emerged.

On the day of the finals, the atmosphere at the God Conferring Plaza reached its peak.

All the water mirrors on the twelve coiling dragon pillars focused on the central Myriad Gods Arena. On the arena, White Night confronted a True God clad in golden armor—the Golden-Winged Great Peng God, a veteran powerhouse of the Eternal God Realm at the peak of High-ranking True God.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng God was enveloped in golden astral winds, and his wings, spread wide behind him, blotted out the sky, his aura hundreds of times more formidable than True God Zidian's.

Seeing White Night, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes: "White Night, your ability to reach this point proves your talent. But today, encountering me, your good luck ends."

White Night wasted no words. His violet-gold divine domain suddenly unfurled. This time, a faint golden light was added to his divine domain—that was the High-ranking True God Law absorbed from Zidian's body after defeating him.

"Make your move," White Night's voice was calm and unruffled, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng God took a deep breath, his wings violently flapping behind him. The golden astral winds, like countless sharp blades, swept towards White Night.

This strike condensed all his power, enough to level a divine mountain.

White Night's eyes narrowed. The eternal chaos divine codex within him operated at high speed, and the lightning and Chaos Law in his violet-gold divine domain intertwined to form a massive shield.

"Boom, boom, boom—!"

The golden astral winds collided with the violet-gold shield, and the resulting shockwave caused the entire God Conferring Plaza to tremble continuously.

What was astonishing was that the Golden-Winged Great Peng God's full-power strike was actually blocked by White Night's shield.

"How is this possible?!" The Golden-Winged Great Peng God shrieked, his face filled with disbelief.

White Night gave him no time to think, his figure suddenly vanishing within the violet-gold divine domain.

The next moment, he appeared above the Golden-Winged Great Peng God's head, the Eternal Demon Blade, wreathed in violet-gold lightning, slashing towards his skull.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng God sensed the danger, abruptly looked up, and blocked with his beak.

But the sharpness of the Eternal Demon Blade exceeded his imagination, actually carving a gash in his beak.

"Ah—!" The Golden-Winged Great Peng God let out a mournful scream, his eyes filled with pain and anger. He couldn't understand how he, a dignified High-ranking True God at his peak, could be injured by a Middle True God.

Just then, a glint flashed in White Night's eyes.

He suddenly plunged the Eternal Demon Blade into the Golden-Winged Great Peng God's wound. Violet-gold lightning and Chaos Law surged into his body through the wound, beginning to devour his Law power.

"No—!" The Golden-Winged Great Peng God let out a desperate shriek, trying to break free, but found his body firmly locked by the violet-gold divine domain.

The entire venue fell silent once more. Everyone's eyes widened, staring at the incredible scene on the arena—Middle True God White Night was actually devouring the Law power of the peak High-ranking True God, Golden-Winged Great Peng God!

Divine Venerable Qiming's eyes flashed with admiration, and he then loudly announced: "This year's Eternal Assembly champion—White Night!"

As his voice fell, the God Conferring Plaza erupted in thunderous cheers.

Countless True Gods looked at White Night's figure, their eyes filled with awe and worship.

They knew that a new legend had been born.

White Night put away his Eternal Demon Blade, feeling the rapidly surging Law power within him, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Just then, a majestic voice came from the void: "Little friend White Night, congratulations on winning the championship. I await you in the Chaos Divine Hall. If you are willing, you may come with me, and I will impart to you the Way of the God King."

It was the voice of the Chaos God King!

The entire venue was in an uproar again, everyone looking at White Night with envy.

To receive personal guidance from a God King, what a dream opportunity for countless True Gods!

...Before the cheers in the God Conferring Plaza had subsided, a golden light pillar piercing through the heavens and earth descended from the void, enveloping White Night.

The God King's might contained within the light pillar caused all True Gods present to involuntarily bow in deference. Only Divine Venerable Qiming looked up at the light pillar, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

This was the personal reception of the Chaos God King, an honor not seen in ten thousand years.

White Night felt a blur before his eyes, and the next second he was in a vast divine hall.

The dome of the divine hall was a swirling Chaos Nebula, and the ground was paved with billions of Law runes. Every step taken resonated with heaven and earth.

On the high platform in the center of the divine hall sat an old man clad in a grey robe. Nine-colored divine light surrounded the old man, his face indistinct, yet giving a feeling of encompassing all things.

It was none other than the Chaos God King, one of the supreme powerhouses of the Eternal God Realm.

"Little fellow, sit," the old man's voice was like a spring breeze turning into rain, instantly dispelling the lingering battle aura within White Night.

A chair crafted from divine gold appeared out of thin air behind White Night. The phantom of a Chaos Divine Beast carved on the chair seemed to possess life, nodding slightly at him.

White Night sat down as instructed, yet dared not show the slightest disrespect. He could clearly feel that the Chaos God King's aura, seemingly calm, was in fact unfathomable, as if all the Laws of the Eternal God Realm were under his control.

"I have witnessed your performance at the Eternal Assembly," the Chaos God King slowly began. "To master Chaos Law as a Middle True God, and even to kill a peak High-ranking True God across ranks, this talent is rare in ten thousand years."

White Night humbly replied: "This junior was merely fortunate."

"Fortunate?" The Chaos God King chuckled. Suddenly, countless water mirrors appeared around the high platform, showing White Night's battles from Mars to the Eternal Assembly. "To break through from Lower True God to Middle True God in seven days, to comprehend the Chaos Lightning Formation within True God Zidian's Violet Lightning Domain, and to devour Laws against the current in the Golden-Winged Great Peng God's innate astral winds... These cannot simply be explained by 'fortuitous'."

White Night's heart tightened, not expecting all his experiences to be seen so clearly by the other party.

The Chaos God King seemed to see through his thoughts and continued: "I am the controller of Chaos Law. Your Chaos power cannot hide from me. Speaking of which, your Chaos Law shares the same origin as mine, yet it has an added trace of lightning's dominance, which is rather interesting."

He raised his hand, and a grey jade slip landed before White Night: "These are my insights into Chaos Law. Take them and study them diligently. In three days, I will hold a master-disciple ceremony for you, formally taking you as my closed-door disciple."

White Night picked up the jade slip, feeling a pure Chaos Law surge into his body through his fingertips, instantly deepening his understanding of Chaos Law severalfold.

He was about to express his gratitude when the Chaos God King waved his hand: "No need to thank me. I take you as my disciple because I see your future potential. The Eternal God Realm appears prosperous, but in reality, it is fraught with crises, especially the Demon Abyss..."

Mentioning the Demon Abyss, the Chaos God King's tone grew solemn: "In recent years, the Demon Abyss's power has grown stronger and stronger. Several God Kings have sensed that something is amiss, and it probably won't be long before a great war breaks out. I hope you can grow quickly and become a pillar of strength against the Demon Abyss."

White Night's heart stirred, and he asked: "Senior, do you know the specific situation of the Demon Abyss?"

The Chaos God King pondered for a moment, then said: "The origin of the Demon Abyss comes from the primordial chaotic turbid qi at the beginning of the universe. It harbors countless demonic creatures that feed on Laws. The most terrifying is the Lord of the Demon Abyss, who is said to have reached the peak of God King realm, with unfathomable strength. During the last war between gods and demons, we paid a heavy price to repel him, and now..."

He didn't continue, but White Night already understood his meaning.

In the following three days, White Night immersed himself in studying the Chaos God King's insights in the Chaos Divine Hall.

The contents of the jade slip were profound and extensive, not only explaining the application of Chaos Law but also recording many lost divine abilities and secret techniques.

Under the guidance of the Chaos God King, White Night's Chaos Law progressed daily, bringing him only a step away from becoming a High-ranking True God...
