Chapter 531: Chapter 376: Nothingness_2

As his voice fell, the world behind him solidified infinitely.

The creatures of the Myriad Realms of Chaos were also able to catch a glimpse of the world that Hong Jun had condensed.

After all, each of the Myriad Realms of Chaos is distinct.

And as the first person to achieve great completion in cultivating the three thousand Powers of Laws, Hong Jun’s world was surely extraordinary.

"This realm, at present, is only equivalent to the weakest among the great worlds of the Myriad Realms of Chaos, perhaps even inferior. However, its potential is no weaker than that of any Supreme World," said the Ten Thousand Forests Holy Emperor.

Although he was not a Supreme, he had lived through two Epochs and had the vision to make such a judgment.

"The most mysterious aspect of this realm is that it actually contains the rudiments of three thousand great paths. If this realm could mature, if it could grow up, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to become the first realm among the Myriad Realms of Chaos," the Origin Supreme sighed.

"What a broad road it is; it seems as if one can foresee the future path of the Great Path."

It wasn’t just the Supremes of the Myriad Realms of Chaos who were moved, but even those of all Epochs felt the same.

They were all proud children of their Epoch, be it through chance encounters or their talent and hearts aligned with the Dao.

Otherwise, they would not have seized the position of Supreme.

The most difficult thing for them was lack of direction!

Without direction, how could one know which way to go?

One could only keep trying and erring.

Trying and erring, again and again.

Wasting endless time as well as energy and resources.

The worst part is walking down a wrong path without turning back until it’s too late.

The way of Hong Jun had already shown the direction.

This point alone could make all Supremes envious.

Even some Supremes regretted not taking the path of cultivating the three thousand Powers of Laws.

"Do you all think that the path of cultivating the three thousand Powers of Laws is so easy? Do you really think that just anyone can follow it?" sneered Hei Yan amidst the many reflective Supremes.

She knew long ago that the path of cultivating the three thousand Powers of Laws could be followed and that its clear direction could save many detours.

But in the end, she did not take it.

Not that she didn’t want to, but because she simply couldn’t!

At this moment, within the Dao Realm, the true form of the Respected Daoist sat solemnly in the great hall.

In front of him hovered a chart.

More precisely, a Star Map.

It gathered all worlds within it, twinkling and spectacular, and very clear.

The Respected Daoist’s hand caressed the Star Map, looking at that particularly bright star within it, his expression quite complex.

If one looked closely, they would see that the position of that star was where Hong Jun was.

Just as his hand was about to touch that star, suddenly a figure appeared.

At that moment, the action of the Supreme of the Dao Realm also slightly paused.

"He is my target, you cannot give him to you," said the figure, in a tone that brooked no negotiation.

Without turning back, the Supreme of the Dao Realm simply responded indifferently.

"If our goals are the same, what does yours and mine matter?"

"Although the goals are the same, the directions are different. Your layout is too deep, too unscrupulous, also too extreme, leaving no room for retreat or leeway. If you fail, you lose everything!" the voice of the newcomer rose again.

The Supreme of the Dao Realm, upon hearing this, chuckled and asked, "Then tell me, do we have any way out? If the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning escapes, all our efforts will have been in vain. If he escapes, there’s a great chance he will ascend above the Great Path. Then, who will be able to control him? I am staking everything on one throw, but my method has the highest chance of success!"

What followed was a silence.

After a while, the newcomer spoke again, "I said, you have your method, and I have mine. Let me have Hong Jun; you cannot refuse this request!"

In the entire Myriad Realms of Chaos, there were probably no more than a handful of individuals who could speak like this to the Respected Daoist without being annihilated.

However, faced with such a domineering statement from the newcomer, not only did the Supreme of the Dao Realm not feel any anger, he nodded helplessly instead.

The Supreme of the Dao Realm sighed and said, "If you want it, you can take it. Hong Jun is yours to handle..."

At the same time, the Supreme of the Dao Realm moved his hand away, abandoning the decision he was about to make.

This answer seemed to surprise the newcomer.

The behavior of the Supreme of the Dao Realm seemed alien to him.

"You couldn’t possibly be setting up another scheme, could you!?"

When this voice sounded, the Supreme of the Dao Realm did not reply.

The great hall fell into silence once again.

"I’m warning you, even if you scheme throughout all the Epochs of Chaos, I won’t say a word, but if you dare to use me as a pawn..."

The voice of the newcomer rose once more, now filled with a cold intent.

He warned the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

But more than that, it was a display of apprehension.

"Even if I used all epochs as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, I couldn’t possibly calculate your moves," the Supreme of the Dao Realm shook his head.

The newcomer seemed somewhat satisfied with the Supreme of the Dao Realm’s response, and his tone softened slightly.

"I will settle my score with the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning in my own way; do not interfere with me, or don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my senior brother!"

Having said that, the person turned and left.

In the whole hall, a trace of dark intention flashed by and disappeared as if it had never existed.

As for the Supreme of the Dao Realm, he shook his head once more.

Meanwhile, after the shadowy figure had left, another set of footsteps emerged.

"The Vast Wilderness’s Hong Jun, with three thousand Powers of Laws for his ascension, could become your chess piece, and our odds of winning could increase by another ten percent. Why... would you give up?"

This time, it was a dull male voice.

As mentioned before, ten percent is all too important for beings like them.

"Have you calculated so much only to give up for your junior sister?" the person continued.

"Hong Jun is a member of the Chaos Martial Ancestor’s camp, and I, unable to see through the Chaos Martial Ancestor, dare not act..." the Supreme of the Dao Realm said, "This time, I should have the opportunity to meet the Chaos Martial Ancestor and gauge his true capacity.

He is a variable, a significant variable, and that is both good and bad..."

At that moment, within the chaos, above the desolate battlefield.

Hong Jun’s strike, gathering the power of three thousand Laws, had come crashing down.

The endless phantasms of Laws brought the entirety of the world in their wake.

Perhaps not as sharp as Wu Zhong’s Dao of Emptiness, but it was even more vast.

Wu Zhong sneered coldly; even if he bore the cultivation of a Saint King, one must not forget how formidable his true form was!

At that instant, he raised his hand once again.

However, this time before him appeared a small bell.

It was roughly the size of a baby’s fist, covered in patterns that seemed to etch the surging rhythms of the Great Path, as well as the intricate Laws of Emptiness.

Even a distant observation exuded an intimidating presence.

"Is this a Chaotic Supreme Treasure?" a Saint King speculated.

"No, it is not a Chaotic Supreme Treasure, but rather a Chaotic Spiritual Treasure," said the Realm Lord disguised as Laozi.

"A Chaotic Spiritual Treasure possesses such power?" someone questioned.

"Such extraordinary items must be crafted by a great power proficient in the Dao of Emptiness," Yuan Shi explained, "Though it is a Chaotic Spiritual Treasure, it suits Wu Zhong best. Only in his hands can the Dao of Emptiness be pushed to its ultimate state."

The most suitable is not necessarily the strongest.

But the most suitable will always realize its greatest power in one’s own hands.

This bell was just so.

How could the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning not have a Chaotic Supreme Treasure at his disposal?

The moment the bell emerged, Wu Zhong’s momentum changed dramatically.

Most importantly, while Wu Zhong stood there, he exuded an unreachable aura, as if he was suspended in empty space, giving the impression of a formless presence.

As if he had already entered into another space and time.

As he looked upward, the chaos experienced yet another collapse.

The power of the Void clashed violently with the three thousand Powers of Laws that Hong Jun had unleashed.

"Bang!"

This time, it wasn’t just a simple tremor through All Heavens.

Under that single blow, a corner of the chaotic cosmos directly collapsed.

"This... Probably not even the most top-notch Saint Kings could achieve this!" someone exclaimed in horror.

A collapse of a corner of chaos had never occurred in this Epoch.

Even when Supremes had acted previously, they had not reached such an effect, and now the clash of two Saint Kings had achieved it.

Nearby powerhouses, witnessing such a terrifying scene, retreated far back, fearing to be affected.

At that moment, another cry arose.

"Not good, the Dark Distortion is coming due to the collapse of chaos!"

Everyone hastily looked and indeed found that to be the case.

The protective Formation had kept the Dark Distortion at bay outside.

But just now, during the clash of the two and the momentary collapse of chaos, the Formation trembled momentarily, and even the force of the calamity began to converge.

The Dark Distortion seemed ready to pounce at any moment.

Although they were guarded by a Formation and could still enjoy the excitement of the Qingyun List, who would dare to underestimate the chaos that Darkness could bring?
