Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 265

"Eight ranks of Martial Dao."

Lin Yuan slightly shook his head. The reason why the Martial Dao cultivation system is so powerful is entirely because of him, the Martial Ancestor.

Essentially, the foundation of Martial Dao is still too shallow.

Although it has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, except for the three to four hundred years Lin Yuan has been overseeing it, there hasn't been much significant achievement during the other times.

To nurture an eighth-rank Martial Dao practitioner from scratch in just a few hundred years is nothing short of a fool's dream.

Even if Lin Yuan exhausts his own origin to nurture someone, when they reach the seventh rank and attempt to break through to the eighth rank, if they encounter the Heart Demon Tribulation and their mindset is slightly lacking, all the nurturing would be in vain.

"As long as I can cultivate an eighth-rank Martial Dao practitioner before my time here is up, the Martial Dao cultivation system will stabilize completely," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In Lin Yuan's mind, the few Martial Dao practitioners who might possibly advance to the eighth rank were naturally Li Qing, Shan Yang, and Nie Yun, the three veteran seventh ranks.

As for the practitioners who have embarked on the path of Martial Dao in recent centuries, their accumulation is far from enough.

Including Lin Yuan, more than twenty Supreme Immortal Kings gathered, their terrifying auras shaking the surrounding billions of miles.

Since the epoch of the Three Thousand Dao States, in millions of years, the number of Supreme Immortal Kings born is no more than thirty, and now, most of them are gathered here.

"The Eighth Heaven."

The figure of the Opening Heaven Immortal King was towering, carrying a pitch-black giant axe on his back, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.

Clouds and mist filled the area, with terrifying auras flowing faintly, evidently methods left by those Supreme Immortal Kings from the prehistoric era.

To prevent latecomers from entering the Eighth Heaven and sharing the opportunity of the Ninth Heaven with them.

"Last time, during the Battle to Ascend Heaven, my strength had not broken through. This time, I am certain I can succeed," the Opening Heaven Immortal King glanced at the other Supreme Immortal Kings, his tone full of confidence.

The power of creation he mastered, the Power of Opening Heaven, was a high-level creation force, proficient in attack. Every time they attacked the Eighth Heaven, he was the main force.

The attack on the Eighth Heaven was referred to by the Opening Heaven Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings as the "Battle to Ascend Heaven."

"Opening Heaven, we believe in you."

"Indeed, those old guys from the prehistoric era are too greedy, wanting to monopolize the opportunity of the Ninth Heaven."

"Later, I will deal with that Mist Immortal King."

Through multiple Battles to Ascend Heaven, the Supreme Immortal Kings present were quite familiar with those old guys in the Eighth Heaven.

As Supreme Immortal Kings, even if they failed to ascend, they would at most be severely injured, almost impossible to fall, so the Supreme Immortal Kings in the Eighth Heaven never descended to the Seventh Heaven to chase them.

In fact, even if they did chase, it would be very difficult to completely kill a Supreme Immortal King.

Lin Yuan stood aside, quietly listening to the conversations of the Supreme Immortal Kings around him.

Among the more than twenty Supreme Immortal Kings present, Lin Yuan was the only newcomer who had never participated in the Battle to Ascend Heaven, so he kept silent as much as possible.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan slightly raised his head, looking towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.

With his perception, he sensed the continuous gathering of Supreme Immortal King auras, indicating that the Supreme Immortal Kings in the Eighth Heaven were also aware that the Opening Heaven Immortal King and others were about to initiate the Battle to Ascend Heaven.

"The Ninth Heaven."

Lin Yuan was also curious about the Ninth Heaven. What exactly was it that made the Supreme Immortal Kings from the prehistoric era gather in the Eighth Heaven and jointly block the later Supreme Immortal Kings from joining?

"Soon, I will find out," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The Eighth Heaven.

Vast and boundless, with terrifying auras gathering at the exit connecting to the Seventh Heaven.

"Those little fellows down there want to come up again. With their strength, even if they do come up, what use would it be?"

A figure shrouded in clouds and mist sneered. As a Supreme Immortal King from the prehistoric era, he was fully qualified to call the Opening Heaven Immortal King, Great Immortal King, and other Supreme Immortal Kings "little fellows."

"Do not underestimate them. The Opening Heaven Immortal King has mastered the Power of Opening Heaven, and the Great Immortal King has mastered the Power of Infinity. If they comprehend these to the Third Realm, they will be a trouble for us."

Another figure spoke slowly.

The Power of Opening Heaven.

The Power of Infinity.

Both were high-level creation forces.

In previous Battles to Ascend Heaven, the Opening Heaven Immortal King and Great Immortal King had only comprehended these high-level creation forces to the second realm.

So they were easily repelled.

"It's just a trouble, nothing more."

A third figure said calmly.

Even if they comprehended the high-level creation forces to the Third Realm, so what? They, who had lived through long ages, had similar methods.

In terms of aptitude, as Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era, they were not inferior to the Supreme Immortal Kings of the Three Thousand Dao States epoch.

In terms of cultivation years, they spanned two epochs, far surpassing the Opening Heaven Immortal King and others.

Although longer cultivation years do not necessarily mean stronger strength.

They certainly wouldn't be weak.

"I'll handle that Opening Heaven Immortal King. I also cultivate the Power of Opening Heaven," said another towering figure.

The forces of creation in the Spirit Realm were not unique and could be comprehended by multiple Immortal Kings.

The Power of Opening Heaven, being a high-level creation force proficient in killing, naturally attracted the attention of many Supreme Immortal Kings.

As the Supreme Immortal Kings discussed.

Boom.

A terrifying axe light slashed from the Seventh Heaven, tearing through the void, and struck the mist at the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.

A large amount of mist was cleaved apart, though it quickly recovered, only to be cleaved again by successive axe lights.

"That little fellow Opening Heaven."

The figure shrouded in mist frowned, "Let's take action. Don't let them really break through."

"Opening Heaven's Power of Opening Heaven seems to have made another breakthrough." The Great Immortal King watched the continuous axe lights from Opening Heaven Immortal King, speaking softly.

The other Supreme Immortal Kings agreed.

At this moment, the Opening Heaven Immortal King's power was terrifying. Each axe light exceeded the full strength of a normal Supreme Immortal King. Such relentless strikes made even the Great Immortal King wary.

Crash.

Suddenly.

At the entrance to the Eighth Heaven.

Several figures emerged.

Among them was a towering figure, also wielding a giant axe, but this one was entirely blue, its axe light blocking the Opening Heaven Immortal King's attacks.

"Little fellows, will you leave on your own, or do we need to make you?" The leading figure spoke, his voice resounding through the Seventh Heaven.

"It's Lingxu Immortal King, that old undying." The Great Immortal King's tone carried a hint of dread.

The Lingxu Immortal King mastered one high-level creation force and six ordinary creation forces, all cultivated to the Third Realm, making his strength extremely formidable.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's gaze was slightly heated as he looked at Lingxu Immortal King.

The creation forces emanating from Lingxu Immortal King included three that Lin Yuan had never encountered, one of which was a high-level creation force.

"Let's go."

"Charge together."

The Great Immortal King soared into the sky, followed by the other Supreme Immortal Kings.

Boom.

In an instant, dozens of Supreme Immortal Kings were engaged in battle.

The aftermath of each Supreme Immortal King's attack affected millions of miles. If this battlefield were not in the Nine Heavens but in the Three Thousand Dao States.

The aftermath alone would be enough to destroy the Three Thousand Dao States multiple times.

Countless True Immortals and Half-step Immortal Kings would perish.

But in the Nine Heavens, especially in the Seventh Heaven, these aftershocks did not cause much impact.

Or rather, the impact, such as the torn space, would quickly recover.

Lin Yuan followed behind, taking the time to observe the battle.

The Opening Heaven Immortal King was being held off by another Supreme Immortal King who also comprehended the Power of Opening Heaven. Their fighting styles were similar, exchanging axe strikes, but the power of Opening Heaven in each strike was heart-stopping.

The Great Immortal King, on the other hand, was fighting two Supreme Immortal Kings simultaneously, his Power of Infinity overwhelming them despite being outnumbered.

Lin Yuan, with a glance, sensed someone was watching him.

"It's been a while since I've fought."

"Little fellow, as your elder, I'll allow you to make the first move, or you might not have the chance later." A slender male Immortal King stood in the distance, smiling as he stared at Lin Yuan.

"You will let me make the first move?" Lin Yuan smiled.

Considering how much strength to use, though the power of his Tai Chi primordial spirit was far less than his true form.

But with the mastery of the high-level creation force of Tai Chi, and four other high-level creation forces, along with dozens of ordinary creation forces.

Even if the latter were only at the first realm.

Plus the support of his internal world spanning millions of miles.

Combined, Lin Yuan believed his strength was no weaker than a Supreme Immortal King who had mastered a high-level creation force at the Third Realm.

Perhaps even stronger.

"Indeed."

The slender male Immortal King nodded slightly.

Suddenly.

His expression changed.

Because he found that Lin Yuan had disappeared.

This disappearance was not a movement or teleportation but a literal vanishing from this world.

"Not good."

The slender male Immortal King's expression changed drastically.

Instinctively, he started to retreat.

But it was too late. Lin Yuan's figure appeared beside him, without him knowing when.

Then lightly punched.

This punch had no external force, but to the slender male Immortal King, it felt like his scalp was exploding, sensing a mortal danger.

"Split."

The slender male Immortal King's body erupted with a surge of blood energy, but the next moment, his figure exploded.

Under Lin Yuan's punch, his physical body was shattered.

Swoosh.

A phantom-like soul appeared.

Rushing madly towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.

The speed of this soul was so fast that even Lin Yuan felt he couldn't intercept it, so he didn't try.

"How unfortunate."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The creation force mastered by the slender male Immortal King had already been comprehended by Lin Yuan, so killing him wouldn't have provided any real benefit.

The shattering of the slender male Immortal King's physical body immediately drew the attention of the surrounding Supreme Immortal Kings.

The Supreme Immortal Kings from the prehistoric era looked at Lin Yuan with incredulity.

Though the slender male Immortal King's strength wasn't top-notch, he wasn't weak either. To be shattered with a single punch—could it be that Lin Yuan had comprehended a high-level creation force to the Third Realm? And one similar to the Power of Opening Heaven, an offensive creation force?

Only in this way, taking him by surprise, could the slender male Immortal King, unprepared, fall so quickly.

"Hahaha, Martial Ancestor, I didn't expect you to have such strength." The Opening Heaven Immortal King laughed heartily. Though the slender male Immortal King wasn't dead, having his physical body shattered meant he couldn't effectively participate in the Battle to Ascend Heaven anymore.

"Martial Ancestor?"

At the entrance to the Eighth Heaven, the Lingxu Immortal King did not join the battle. His task was to guard the entrance, preventing the lower Supreme Immortal Kings from sneaking into the Eighth Heaven.

"When did such a strong figure appear in this era?" The Lingxu Immortal King's expression changed slightly.

His attention was always on the battlefield. The battle between Lin Yuan and the slender male Immortal King was under his observation, sensing that Lin Yuan's strength might be above even the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King.

"No, the balance is broken."

"Martial Ancestor cannot stay."

The Lingxu Immortal King made a decision.

He hadn't anticipated that this Battle to Ascend Heaven would see the emergence of an outlier like the Martial Ancestor. Such strength, participating in the Battle to Ascend Heaven for the first time, was unbelievable.

Under these circumstances, no one could withstand the Martial Ancestor, and the battle might turn against them.

"I must act."

"At least heavily injure the Martial Ancestor."

The Lingxu Immortal King focused on Lin Yuan.

At this moment, several more prehistoric Supreme Immortal Kings teamed up, trying to stop the Martial Ancestor.

But with every move Lin Yuan made, those Supreme Immortal Kings couldn't hold on for long.

Whoosh.

The Lingxu Immortal King remained in place.

But his true body hid in the depths of the void, approaching Lin Yuan.

As the strongest Supreme Immortal King present, the Lingxu Immortal King believed that with his methods, he could severely injure, if not kill, the Martial Ancestor through a sneak attack.

"You are too weak."

"Too weak, and the creation forces you master are also ordinary."

Lin Yuan looked at the few Supreme Immortal Kings surrounding him. With each attack, their auras weakened.

At this moment.

A figure shrouded in gray appeared above Lin Yuan.

"Destruction."

The Lingxu Immortal King raised his right hand, gray aura enveloping Lin Yuan.

High-level creation force.

Great Destruction Force.

This was a killing creation force, comparable to the Power of Opening Heaven.

The difference was that the Power of Opening Heaven attacked points or lines.

While the Great Destruction Force attacked areas.

Overwhelming, destroying everything in its path.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Such Great Destruction Force was the nemesis of energy, soul, and life.

"Disperse!"

Lin Yuan's mind moved.

Trying to disperse his primordial spirit body.

But immediately, a binding force suppressed him.

"I have cultivated the Great Destruction Force to the Third Realm, along with six ordinary creation forces to the Third Realm."

"The combination of six Third Realm ordinary creation forces is almost as strong as a Third Realm high-level creation force."

"Equivalent to me mastering two Third Realm high-level creation forces."

The Lingxu Immortal King was confident. Even the Opening Heaven Immortal King could only defend against him.

By lowering himself to sneak attack the Martial Ancestor, he might shatter his body, completely disabling him from continuing the battle.

"Not good, Martial Ancestor!" The Opening Heaven Immortal King noticed this scene, becoming anxious, swinging his axe desperately to restrain the Lingxu Immortal King.

But was immediately entangled by his opponent.

The Great Immortal King faced the same situation, his Power of Infinity vast and mighty, but hindered by two equal Supreme Immortal Kings.

Crash.

Lin Yuan frowned.

Under the suppression of six Third Realm creation forces, he couldn't move in a short time and had to take the full brunt of the Great Destruction Force.

Buzz.

The terrifying Great Destruction Force fell, Lin Yuan's primordial spirit body rapidly collapsing, finally dissipating into nothingness.

"Hmm?"

"So easy?"

The Lingxu Immortal King was surprised. He had expected the Martial Ancestor's soul to escape.

"Martial Ancestor!!!" The Opening Heaven Immortal King roared in anger. He hadn't expected the Martial Ancestor to die. In the Battle to Ascend Heaven, it was rare for a Supreme Immortal King to fall.

"Despicable Lingxu Immortal King." The Great Immortal King stared coldly at the Lingxu Immortal King.

The Lingxu Immortal King's sneak attack was clear in his eyes.

"Humph."

The Lingxu Immortal King snorted coldly, unconcerned.

Suddenly.

At this moment.

The Lingxu Immortal King sensed something, his expression changing slightly.

"What is that?"

The Lingxu Immortal King looked down towards the Sixth Heaven, Fifth Heaven, Fourth Heaven. In his perception, he faintly detected a terrifying presence, like a colossal being, trampling through layers of wonders at an incredible speed.

Piercing through layer after layer of heaven, heading towards the Seventh Heaven.

The Lingxu Immortal King could almost imagine the various restrictions and suppressions in the Nine Heavens, as fragile as paper before that colossal being.

Even the barriers between the heavens were easily torn apart by that being.

Boom!

The next moment.

The ground of the Seventh Heaven collapsed, a figure exuding boundless blood energy appeared above the Lingxu Immortal King, looking down with a cold gaze.

The oppressive feeling, like the collapse of heaven and earth, made the Lingxu Immortal King almost suffocate, nearly forcing him to kneel.
