Chapter 424: Chapter 323 Unleashing the Edge_2

Hearing this, the Supremes from the secret forces exchanged looks, then their expressions all darkened.

This was a critical issue.

No one had ever seen the Chaotic Martial Ancestor; how capable he truly was remained a mystery.

Judging from the fact that he opened the Dao Repository Pavilion’s trial to all Epochs, it seemed a grand scheme was unfolding in the chaos.

And it might clash with their own plans.

Or to put it another way, if the Chaotic Martial Ancestor knew of their schemes, would he include them in his calculations and turn them from players into pawns!

"What about our plan?" A Supreme finally said with a heavy voice.

"We do not change it. The other party is an existence far beyond us; if he truly wishes to interfere with our schemes, there’s nothing we can do to stop it."

...

In front of the Dao Repository Pavilion, as streaks of flowing light flickered, a series of exclamations followed.

"Houtu from the Vast Wilderness has already passed the twenty-second layer, her power has indeed reached the Saint King level."

The many geniuses from various realms continued to pay attention to the situation of the Saints of the Primordial breaking through layers.

They noticed that Houtu had stopped at the twenty-second layer of the Dao Repository Pavilion.

"It seems she will stop at the twenty-second layer." someone couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, they noticed that the twenty-second layer of the Dao Repository Pavilion was suddenly surging with intense fluctuations of Laws.

"Is she going to break through in there?"

"That’s the Law of Earth... no, wait, there’s also the Reincarnation Law?!"

"What exactly are the roots and comprehension of the creatures of the Primordial? Another top ten Great Path Law!"

Everyone found it unbelievable.

Houtu was sitting in the Dao Repository Pavilion, engulfed by the Power of Laws, with countless Daoyuns converging around her, aiding her breakthrough.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and said with a light chuckle, "In the end, I still have to use the Ancestral Martial’s place for my breakthrough."

Hum!

The next moment, a complete harmony of Daoyun emerged on Houtu, as she understood two complete Great Path Laws, just one step away from the Primordial Source of Laws.

And her strength, as a result, greatly increased at the Saint King level!

"She’s moving!" someone outside the Dao Repository Pavilion exclaimed.

Everyone saw Houtu ascending from the twenty-second layer to the twenty-third, and then the twenty-fourth.

Twenty-fifth layer!

...

Twenty-ninth layer!

This scene left the crowd agape.

From the twenty-second to the twenty-ninth, it wasn’t merely a promotion in realm, but a qualitative change in strength.

Normally, those at the Saint King level could mostly reach around the twenty-fifth layer.

Only the topmost Saint Kings could make it above the twenty-fifth layer.

The key point was, Houtu was previously only a Saint-level existence, struggling to even reach the twentieth layer, so this increase was too much!

"Do you think she could possibly..."

Before the sentence could be completed, another bright light flashed through the Dao Repository Pavilion.

Thirtieth layer!

Suddenly, the whole place erupted.

Thirtieth layer!

That represented the ultimate strength level of the Saint Kings, equating to the ability to contend with the most elite genius Saints, including those direct disciples.

For those topmost great worlds with Supremes, it was already commendable to have one such genius.

And now, the Vast Wilderness had a Hong Jun before, and has added a Houtu.

If one also counted Nu Wa, who had already become a Saint Emperor, that made three!

The crowd initially felt shocked, but thinking that the Primordial had the Chaotic Martial Ancestor as a backer, it seemed normal to have three such geniuses.

The thirtieth layer was clearly the limit for Houtu, and she soon stepped out of the Dao Repository Pavilion.

At the same time, a streak of flowing light flew out from the Dao Repository Pavilion into Houtu’s hands – this was the reward for the trial.

This once again aroused envy among the people.

In response, Houtu only had a calm expression on her face.

Soon, there was more movement in the Dao Repository Pavilion, and the crowd turned to look again.

"Daozi Wu Xuan has now reached the thirtieth layer!"

"The monk Kongxing has risen as well."

"Xi Ling from the Spirit Realm..."

"Tian Yu from the Heaven Realm..."

Compared to the just recently soar-to-the-sky Houtu, people were actually more concerned about these long-renowned top talents.

They wanted to see which among these people could be the first to comprehend the Primordial Source of Laws.

In the Dao Repository Pavilion, in front of Wu Xuan, there were nine individuals who looked exactly the same as him, even their aura was identical.

However, these people all bore expressionless faces, just like puppets.

Wu Xuan, wielding a Dao sword, thrust himself into battle.

In another space, the situation faced by the monk Kongxing was completely different from Wu Xuan’s.

He was by the bank of a great river, where a kindly old monk was looking at him, asking, "Little monk, do you know what compassion is..."

Inside the Dao Repository Pavilion, everyone encountered different trials.

For Wu Xuan, who had an indomitable fighting spirit, he faced combat, and his opponents were nine versions of himself.

Kongxing cultivated the heart, so he faced trials that questioned his inner self.

The trials that other challengers met were also unique to each.

Not long after, Wu Xuan, after eliminating four of his selves, was ultimately slain by the other five selves.

Trial failed!

Kongxing couldn’t provide the answer the old monk sought, and in the end, with the old monk shaking his head and sighing, Kongxing’s figure disappeared without trace.

At the same time, top talents like Tian Yu from the Heaven Realm, Hei Yan from the Nether Realm, and Xi Ling from the Spirit Realm all stopped at the thirtieth level and still couldn’t enter the thirty-first level.

After they all emerged, the onlookers outside first expressed surprise, and then their expressions changed.

"Hong Jun, he doesn’t seem to have come out yet!"

As this statement came out, the surroundings fell into a sudden silence, and everyone was stunned.

At this moment, top talents like Wu Xuan and the monk Kongxing also showed a change in their expressions.

They were Direct Disciples of the Supreme, and when Hong Jun was just an ordinary Saint King, they had already been the most exceptional Saint Kings.

By the time Hong Jun reached this realm, they were making no progress.

And now, Hong Jun was about to surpass them!

People didn’t include Nu Wa in their calculations because they believed that Nu Wa must have already been a Saint Emperor, a hidden trump card of the Vast Wilderness.

"Everyone knows how difficult it is to condense the Primordial Source of Laws; I don’t believe Hong Jun can condense the Source today!" Tian Yu from the Heaven Realm said with a forced relaxed laugh.

Many nodded in agreement, indeed, the Primordial Source of Laws was a realm that only the Supreme could comprehend.

Below the Supreme, there were scant few across the whole of Chaos who could comprehend it throughout all Epochs.

To condense the Source was to have the hope of becoming Supreme.

"Yet, there’s already a precedent in the Vast Wilderness of someone condensing the Primordial Source of Laws ahead of time." Hei Yan from the Nether Realm said with a cold laugh, "Laozi comprehended the Primordial Source of the Dao of Artifacts..."

He mercilessly splashed cold water on the situation.

The Direct Disciples of the Supreme present all knew that to hope to step into the realm of the Supreme, one must condense their own Source of Laws.

That’s why their respective realms did not participate in the struggle, and the Divine Realm itself already had a Supreme.

However, they never found Laozi, and the matter eventually faded away.

Now, with Hei Yan bringing up the matter again, it plunged them all into silence.

With this precedent, perhaps Hong Jun indeed had the potential to comprehend the Primordial Source of Laws ahead of time.

...

At that moment, inside a space on the thirtieth level of the Dao Repository Pavilion.

Hong Jun sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, facing him also sat a white-haired old daoist—it was himself.

However, the situation he was in differed from Wu Xuan, for the self he faced had spirit in his eyes and intelligence; he had his own consciousness.

"Fate, I never thought you would be the final barrier to my condensing the Source." Hong Jun said with a smile.

"Hong Jun, from the very beginning of the Vast Wilderness, we have been contending until the end of the Three Realms," Fate said coldly, "We jointly controlled the Heavenly Dao, and it can be said that I am the one who understands you best.

Moreover, I have always been the victor, and even in my final defeat, I was not vanquished by your hand.

Therefore, you can’t pass my challenge.

If I defeat you, I can use your body to be reborn, achieving the unprecedented position of Fate, the Supreme!"

"You still don’t understand." Hong Jun shook his head, "For a Cultivator who controls the Law of Fate, to lose once on the path of Fate is to be forever defeated."

"Shut up!" Fate shouted angrily, the power of the Law of Fate intertwining in his eyes, extending towards Hong Jun.

Hong Jun chuckled lightly and didn’t resist, letting the Law of Fate envelop him like a cage.

But the next moment, the surface of the cage of Fate cracked with tiny fissures, which grew larger and larger, releasing a dazzling radiance.
