Chapter 761: Six Zero Five, The Wide Universe

Jiang Chen swept up his long hair, inserting the Heavenly Dao Hairpin into his hair. In an instant, a seven-colored rosy cloud flashed by, enveloping his body and transforming into divine patterns, which were branded on the Dutian Map.

"Protection by Divine Light, impervious to all laws!"

Another ability of the Heavenly Dao Hairpin is to emit seven-colored divine light, protecting its owner and rendering him impervious to all laws.

This seven-colored light is the embodiment of the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. It can absorb and melt anything in the world. When positioned under its glow, unless the enemy’s strength surpasses Jiang Chen’s by a large margin, it’s hard to even scratch him.

The defensive power far exceeds that of the high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Dutian Divine Map, which Jiang Chen possesses.

Crackling sounds ensued.

Jiang Chen let out a light laugh and took a few tentative steps forward. He was surrounded by shattered pieces of Divine Thunder of Heaven and Chaotic God Thunder, which struck at the seven-colored rosy clouds enveloping him, causing it to flicker but failing to break it.

"Haha, it really is a good treasure!"

Laughing heartily, Jiang Chen opened his mouth wide and suddenly inhaled, absorbing the cracked Heavenly Thunder and Chaotic Thunder around him, converting them into his own power.

Just now, he had refined his flesh with the power of the two kinds of heavenly divine thunders, not without gains. When he broke through, the power of these two divine thunders was absorbed into his body and became his innate divine power.

That is to say, Jiang Chen has now mastered the supreme Thunder Dao of the Heavenly Gods and the Chaotic Divine Thunder. Although the knowledge is merely superficial, it is still quite extraordinary.

And now, Jiang Chen is absorbing the power of the surrounding thunder to strengthen the two divine thunders within his body.

In the depths of Thunder Marsh, the Chaotic Divine Thunder and the Divine Thunder of Heaven coexist, deducing many mysteries of the Great Dao and releasing boundless primordial power.

This is the best place to comprehend these two Thunder Dao laws. If he leaves here, even if Jiang Chen cultivates relentlessly for millions of years, he may not be able to master these two Thunder Dao laws.

"Hmph!"

At a certain moment, a surge of Thunder Power erupted within Jiang Chen’s body, causing his protective divine light to break outward, making his body tremble with a repressed grunt.

A trace of blood slid down the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth, suggesting that the last strike had wounded him.

"Did I reach my limit already? I was too greedy."

At the moment when the protective divine light shattered, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and immediately pulled back, leaving the area shrouded by the two types of divine thunder.

He had overextended himself, greedily absorbing too much divine thunder, and his body could not bear it, resulting in injury from the thunder.

"However, compared to the gains, this minor injury is completely worth it."

In the Sea of Fortune, Jiang Chen stretched out one hand, revealing a purple thunder flashing within, emitting an aura of creating heaven and earth. Suddenly, the purple thunder vanished, replaced by a chaotic colored thunder, emanating a world-destroying aura.

The Divine Thunder of Heaven, a divine ability created by the Pangu Great God, possesses the power of creating heaven and earth. Whether it’s a person or an object, a touch of this Divine Thunder will immediately dispel them into innate primal energy, thus giving birth to everything in heaven and earth.

This thunder contains the Dao of chaotic transitions, allowing everything to evolve forward and form nothing into something.

The Chaotic Divine Thunder, the inheritance of the Chaos Demigod, carries an unmatched power that can destroy the heavens and the earth and annihilate everything, making everything return to chaos anew.

This thunder contrasts with the Divine Thunder of Heaven, containing the principle of everything returning to chaos, turning existence into non-existence. One for creation, one for destruction – the principles of heaven and earth are embodied in these two divine thunders.

"If I can fuse these two types of divine thunders into one, creating a new divine thunder, perhaps my accomplishments in the Thunder Dao could surpass those of the Pangu Great God and the Thunder Demon God!"

Looking at the flashing innate divine thunder in his hand, Jiang Chen suddenly had a daring idea brewing: to fuse these two divine thunders into one, achieving the highest realm of the Thunder Dao.

"This idea is worth a try, but there’s no rush. Let’s leave Thunder Marsh first. It seems that Han Yuan is about to take form in the Thick Soup Valley."

The divine artifact would soon take its final form. As its master, Jiang Chen felt a connection. He promptly disappeared from where he stood, leaving Thunder Marsh behind and rushing towards the Thick Soup Valley.

Before leaving, Jiang Chen flicked his large sleeve, throwing out the divine artifact,the Thunder Pool. He left it here to undergo the baptism of Thunder Marsh, allowing it to gradually metamorphose into a quasi-saint grade divine artifact.

When he arrived, Jiang Chen had to face the terrifying threat of surrounding innate divine thunders. However, when he was leaving, all he had to do was make the seven-colored rosy clouds on his body flash once, instantly sweeping away all the surrounding innate divine thunders.

At this moment, the power of the top-class Pregeniture Divine Treasure was undoubtedly demonstrated.

...

...

In a flash of multicolored light, Jiang Chen’s figure appeared in the middle of the Thick Soup Valley, and before him, the appearance of Han Yuan had greatly changed.

Previously, Han Yuan looked like a body encased in cold air, his body resembling a piece of ice, making people shiver just by looking at it. Now, while Han Yuan still looked like ice, his body was surrounded by a ring of golden flames, burning fiercely.

This scene, like freezing ice set ablaze, brought a shocking visual impact.

"A realm of ice and fire!"

Upon seeing the current state of Han Yuan, this phrase instinctively came to Jiang Chen’s mind. No, that’s not quite right, Han Yuan shouldn’t be described as a realm of ice and fire, but rather, a realm of nine layers of ice and fire.

Jiang Chen could see that Han Yuan had been divided into nine layers from top to bottom. The further down, the colder and hotter it was. The ninth layer, infused with the Innate coldness and the Sun True Fire, had enough power to harm a Quasi-Saint.

Beyond the ninth layer sat a vast universe, limitless in space, stable in laws and rules interweaving like a net, encompassing Heaven and Earth. The essence of myriad heavenly Dao flickered in and out of perception. Furthermore, Innate Divine Light shone and scattered throughout the void.

In the deepest part of this universe, two illusory rivers slowly took shape.

One of the rivers shimmered with lights of destiny. Numerous points of destiny converged, falling into it, transforming into river water to gradually fill this river, making it increasingly expansive.

This was the River of Destiny, the realm of all beings’ fate in this world.

The other river, though similarly small, was more illusory and unfathomable. This was the River of Time and Space, encapsulating everything within.

Falling snowflakes, flowing glaciers, passing cold breeze... The sky, earth, sun, moon, and star rivers.

The richer the world, the more it experiences, the wider, grander, and more magnificent this river becomes.

Now that both the River of Destiny and the River of Time and Space had appeared, Innate Divine Light was shining in the void. This universe had evolved to completeness, and had the capacity to nurture Innate Divine Demons and Innate Spiritual Treasures.

In the future, as this world continues to evolve, birthing more beings, the River of Destiny and the River of Time and Space would become even more substantial.

When the time comes, under the intersection of countless rules, a Dao Fruit would be born. Consequently, a supreme creature that could jump out of the River of Destiny to achieve the Sovereign Dao position would appear in this world.

The Innate Dao Sovereign is the limit of this universe. When they reach this state, if the beings of this universe wish to take a step further, they can either integrate with the original source of this universe or ascend along the River of Time and Space, going into the Prehistoric World.

Integrating with the original source of this universe, one can incarnate as the master of the realm, instantly gaining power equivalent to a Quasi-Saint. But the price to pay is that they will live and die with the world, enjoying prosperity or suffering misfortune together. They would barely be able to leave this universe, trapping themselves within it.

On the other hand, ascending along the River of Time and Space would lead into the Prehistoric World.

This world, after all, was birthed from the Prehistoric World. Although the so-called Rivers of Time and Space and Destiny were nurtured by this world, they were stamped with the mark of the Prehistoric World from the moment they were born.

The instant they were born, the origins of these two great rivers merged with the Rivers of Destiny and Time and Space of the Prehistoric World, becoming their tributaries.

Therefore, by following the Rivers of Destiny and Time and Space of this universe all the way to the source, one could enter the Prehistoric World.

"Damn, this world is so perfect, even more perfect than all the worlds I’ve created. It’s clear that a world created by the power of Yin and Yang would have balanced properties and be incredibly stable," Jiang Chen exclaimed.

His consciousness submerged into this newborn universe, Jiang Chen could only perceive its extremely stable void, its evenly balanced development, and an immeasurably sturdy world foundation. This was the advantage of a world evolved by the power of Yin and Yang.

There are many ways to open up a world, not limited to one method difference. However, the worlds created by different methods also vary in kind.

For example, a world created from a land of ice would be a world of ice, unbearably cold. A world created by the power of flame would be a world of fire, filled with a variety of flames.

...

Among the many ways to create a world, using Yin and Yang is considered the highest level. Not because the worlds created in this way are strongest, but because they are the most stable and hold more possibilities.

A humming sound...

While Jiang Chen was observing this world, it suddenly started shaking violently. An endless brilliance gathered, merging with the laws of heaven, earth, and universe, forming an awe-inspiringly radiant figure that step by step, strode towards him.

This grand figure was the deity nurtured by this universe, the Dao of this universe, possessing power comparable to a Quasi-Saint.

"Han Yuan, greetings, master!"

As Han Yuan approached, the radiance around him slowly dissipated, and his body quickly shrank. By the time he stood beside Jiang Chen, he had become the size of an ordinary human, and respectfully saluted him.

The name of the Divine Artifact was that simple and unadorned, named for its origin.

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Han Yuan, but his gaze was attracted by something on him. It was a diagram of the Dao, presented in the colors of Yin and Yang, draped over Han Yuan’s body, covering it.

"This is..."

"An Innate Spiritual Treasure? A Merit Spiritual Treasure?"

In Jiang Chen’s eyes, this Yin-Yang diagram emitted a mystical light, dazzling and colorful, radiating unparalleled prestige. Numerous Innate Dao Rhymes permeated around, creating multiple illusions.
