177: Law of Hope

You only felt your vision go dark.

Immediately, your Divine Sense became chaotic, and your head throbbed with pain.

But soon, this feeling disappeared.

You only heard the Eternal Immortal Emperor constantly struggling and roaring in your mind, but gradually, his voice grew weaker and more powerless.

After a few breaths, he had completely vanished.

You were somewhat confused.

But as the Eternal Immortal Emperor completely disappeared, four light clusters suddenly appeared before your eyes.

They were inscribed with the characters Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow respectively!

"Is this the final Legacy in the Secret Realm?"

You were startled at first, then, after your Crisis Awareness gave no warning, you slowly stepped forward.

You opened the Heaven character Legacy.

Within it, you obtained the Yin-Yang Demon Slaughtering Grand Formation.

You opened the Earth character Legacy.

Within it, you obtained the Ruin-Returning One Qi.

You opened the Profound character Legacy.

Within it, you obtained a jade slip inscribed with the Dou character.

You opened the Human character Legacy.

Here, you obtained a Cultivation Technique called the Myriad People Scripture.

Looking at the four Legacies before you, you frowned slightly.

Each of them was a top-tier existence in this world.

The Yin-Yang Demon Slaughtering Grand Formation was the most powerful Formation, its Rank having reached a level capable of injuring an Immortal Emperor.

The Ruin-Returning One Qi, on the other hand, was a peak Immortal Art, which could continuously condense within a Cultivator's Physical Body.

The longer the time spent condensing it, the greater its power.

Its Rank was also at the Immortal Emperor level.

The Myriad People Scripture was a Cultivation Technique related to the Power Of Faith.

This item was created by the Myriad People Immortal Emperor, and for some unknown reason, the Eternal Immortal Emperor placed it in his Legacy.

However, like the previous two Legacies, it was an Immortal Emperor-level existence that could allow a Cultivator to directly reach the Immortal Emperor realm.

But... what was the deal with the Dou Character Secret?

Previously, in the Xuanhuang Great World, you had obtained a Zhe Word Secret left by Longevity Immortal Venerable.

Could this item also be an Immortal Emperor-level existence?

With a questioning mind, you immediately began to Cultivate.

One year later.

When you opened your eyes again, a light involuntarily burst forth from them.

This Dou Character Secret was indeed extraordinary.

After learning it, you felt your combat power steadily rise, to the point where you could even contend with those Nine Laws Immortal Venerables in a direct fight.

Moreover, you had only absorbed four Laws at this point.

If you were to absorb two more Laws, then with the enhancement of Myriad Laws Return to Origin, you would not fear even a true Nine Laws Immortal Venerable.

Calming your excited mind, you began to Cultivate the Ruin-Returning One Qi and the Myriad People Scripture.

One was an Immortal Art of extreme offense, and the other was a Cultivation Technique that relied on the Power Of Faith to enhance oneself; their help to you was undeniably immense.

Especially in this era where Cultivators and monsters fought each other, you would certainly be able to rapidly increase your strength with their help.

Time flew by.

During this period, you first absorbed the Law of Time and the Law of Hope obtained from Tian Ji, then turned to Cultivate the Ruin-Returning One Qi and the Myriad People Scripture.

But the moment you finished your Cultivation, the entire Secret Realm instantly collapsed.

Endless spatial rifts appeared, immediately returning you to the Eternal Immortal Domain.

However, as soon as you appeared, you felt a chill beside you.

"Pfft!"

Sharp tentacles pierced through you, and before you could react, you felt your life being continuously stripped away.

It was those monsters!

Only then did you understand the source of your Crisis Awareness and the Law of Fate.

It turned out they had already been waiting outside the Secret Realm to hunt down all the Cultivators who emerged from it; the monsters that entered the Secret Realm were merely appetizers!

Without the slightest hesitation, you immediately activated the Law of Space to escape from there.

But how could the monsters, who had already laid out their plans, let you escape so easily?

All sorts of tentacles and strange energies came one after another, leaving even your greatly increased strength struggling to cope.

Fortunately, you still had Celestial Travel.

The moment you had been fighting the monsters for three breaths, you left their encirclement.

Although many monsters were still attached to you at this moment, compared to just now, it was clearly nothing.

Rolling Sword Qi tore through the sky, directly slashing towards those tentacles.

The Sword Qi shattered heaven and earth, making everything else pale in comparison.

The tentacles were all cut down by you.

But just then, a monster suddenly appeared, spewing out waves of a special Qi from its mouth.

It was the same method as the Person in the coffin!

This immediately made you feel dizzy and disoriented.

Although a cool sensation still came from your mind this time, it was far inferior to the last time.

Despite still being able to barely maintain your sanity, illusions had already begun to appear.

"Fellow Daoist, join us, let us evolve together!"

"Yes, Fellow Daoist, the Human Race itself is too weak, not even possessing innate Divine Ability or racial talent. Why cling to this state?"

"Fellow Daoist, if you just nod in agreement, with your strength, we will not only have Lord Emperor Venerable preserve your sanity, but also bestow upon you several powerful true Laws, how about it?"

...

All sorts of voices constantly surged in your mind, making you involuntarily want to sink into them.

But in the end, you still managed to sober up with your tenacious will.

However... it was still a little late!

At this moment, your Physical Body was in tatters, and even your Qi had plummeted to its lowest point!

But facing the impending various attacks, you felt no fear, but rather smiled calmly.

"Ruin-Returning One Qi!"

"Rumble!"

Bursts of explosions came from above the sky.

The next moment, an invisible Sword Qi shot into the sky, carrying endless killing intent, and directly broke through all the monsters' attacks!

And its momentum did not diminish; the moment it broke through the attacks, the Sword Qi instantly transformed into tens of thousands of strands, directly piercing through all the monsters!

"Thump thump thump!"

Although they did not die immediately, their gaze towards you was no longer greed, but—terror!

"It seems you are all high-ranking monsters, each with sentience."

"Again!"

"Clang!"

Endless Sword Qi swept across hundreds of millions of miles, centered around you, making all the Cultivators in the entire world tremble!

"Rumble!"

Sword Qi, like an overwhelming flood, surged towards those monsters, like the water of the Heavenly River, pouring down!
