Chapter 43, Acknowledgment of the Fundamental Law
Chapter 43, Acknowledgment of the Fundamental Law
Without the recognition of the fundamental law of time, Ye Muxuan's attempt to challenge the guardian of the eighteenth level was futile, even with his proactive attacks. With just a single word, "chaos," Ye Muxuan instantly felt the distance between himself and the guardian widen.
No! The spatial distance between them hasn't changed, but the time field around the gatekeeper has become disordered. Ye Muxuan's blade will land at a different point in time. It could be a second later, or it could be a minute later.
Ye Muxuan also cultivates the Law of Time. He is only a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the Law of Wind's Origin and breaking through to immortality, and he doesn't dare to comprehend it now. Therefore, for the next two thousand years, under the guidance of the Heavenly Feather King, he has devoted himself to comprehending the Law of Time. Now, he is only a hair's breadth away from gaining the recognition of the Law of Time's Origin, so his "resistance" to the Law of Time is extremely high.
"break!"
His will roared, and in the next instant, Ye Muxuan suddenly stretched out his left hand and pressed it down on the space in front of him!
The time field was disrupted, and the tip of the burly, masked old man's knife appeared there without any reason.
By casting a time distortion spell on the space where Ye Muxuan was located, causing Ye Muxuan to return to the moment before he drew his longsword and slashed, this was extremely close to "time reversal." Naturally, it also caused a resonance in his understanding of the laws of time. In a flash of inspiration, he didn't even have time to draw his sword before his left hand suddenly pressed down.
"Huh?" The burly, masked old man's voice was slightly surprised. The next moment, he thrust his knife towards Ye Muxuan's brow.
Ye Muxuan drew his sword, blocked! He swung! He slashed!
"chaos."
"snort!"
"..."
This battle left Ye Muxuan utterly frustrated! The masked elder guarding the pass only knew one move: a single thrust of his blade. He used his understanding of the laws to disrupt the temporal force field around Ye Muxuan. It could be said that he combined some of the mysteries of time reversal and time acceleration, so not only was his figure like a ghost, impossible to track, but every strike also came from unexpected places—a thrust, a slash, a cut, or a mash.
No wonder it is said that powerful cultivators who cultivate the laws of time are very difficult to deal with. Even those who have successfully comprehended "teleportation" will find it hard to cope with this situation.
However, precisely because of this, Ye Muxuan diligently absorbed the nourishment, and the many insights he had gained from comprehending the laws over the past two thousand years flowed through his heart, continuously deepening his understanding of the laws of time. The gatekeeper found it increasingly difficult to counter Ye Muxuan's time distortion, and finally simply unleashed time distortion on a large area of space surrounding Ye Muxuan.
"That's it!" After dozens of difficult cuts, Ye Muxuan's eyes suddenly lit up. His left arm, whose wrist had been severed, instinctively swung out diagonally. His bare left forearm suddenly appeared in a certain place, and the next moment, a blade tip appeared there.
The gatekeeper's expression changed drastically; this slash was clearly meant to pierce Ye Muxuan's brow!
Time disordered!
With the level of understanding of the time law of the gatekeeper, even though it was only disrupted for a moment, it was enough for Ye Muxuan to turn around and calmly draw his sword!
……
"This little guy broke through in the face of battle and gained the recognition of the fundamental law of time." At some point, in the Tongtian Bridge plane, in front of the guardian Baffin, there was a huge screen with many figures standing tall and imposing, each of them possessing an aura that was enough to oppress the starry sky.
"What a monster."
"I remember that he has been cultivating for over 100,000 years."
"In the past three thousand years, Chaos City has risen from the thirteenth level to nearly the eighteenth level. How many years has it been since any of our five major powers have seen such a monster?"
"But Yun Ming is not bad either. He is now a master of the Primordial Secret Realm and recently reached the sixteenth level."
"These two are incomparable. Yun Ming started nurturing him from the Hengxing level, while this little guy was left to his own devices until he reached the Realm Lord level. I have more faith in this little guy."
"Hmm, to survive for over 100,000 years in the extraterrestrial battlefield, this little guy is at least very lucky."
"His self-created combat techniques are also quite good, barely surpassing the ordinary level and touching the threshold of top-level techniques."
"Once you reach the top level of your self-created combat techniques, passing the eighteenth level won't be difficult. Even if you don't pass this time, you can pass it by trying a few more times."
"Yes, at most ten years. The eighteenth floor won't be able to stop him."
"These kids these days are really strong."
"Such talent is rare; calling it a genius that appears only once every tens of millions of epochs is not an exaggeration."
"I don't think he's formally become an apprentice yet."
"I do remember that King Tianyu gave him some guidance for a period of time."
"King Tianyu..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but when the topic turned to Tianyu King, they all fell into unexpected silence.
Tianyu King is not scary; he is just a junior at the peak of the King-Sealing Realm. There are many stronger people present, regardless of age or seniority, including several Venerables. But the important thing is that behind him is Palace Master Baifeng!
Given Tianyu Wang's aloof, cold, and domineering nature, he wouldn't have come to Chaos City to instruct a mere World Lord-level junior without the instructions of his teacher, Palace Master Baifeng.
Moreover, news had already circulated two thousand years ago that the Palace Master of Baifeng Palace had accepted this little fellow as a disciple.
However... if it's just a nominal disciple...
When Ye Muxuan successfully passed the sixteenth level, Baffin had already sent the news to the group of Realm Lords and Immortals who had entered with him, as well as the Heavenly Feather King.
Of the powerful figures who came from the outer battlefield, the remaining ninety-nine Realm Lords and twenty Immortals all knew this news. Of the three hundred and seventy-three Immortals who came from the Cosmic Kingdom auction, and of the one thousand and eight Realm Lords, forty-seven had died, but three Realm Lords had successfully broken through to become "quasi-"Immortals and were thus able to remain in Chaos City. At this time, these three hundred and seventy-six powerful figures also learned the news!
The news spread like wildfire, and soon more powerful figures learned that Ye Muxuan, a realm lord from the outer battlefield, had successfully passed the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven!
This is already at the level of a very small number of top realm lords in the Primordial Secret Realm. Of the thousand realm lords there, there are now 853, but only seven have reached the sixteenth level.
The original secret realm's eighty-four realm lords—originally there were only eighty-three, but Yun Ming, who was the first in the genius battle 4,600 years ago in the original universe, broke through to become a realm lord as a domain lord of the original secret realm—still have more than a dozen of them on the sixteenth level!
When Ye Muxuan reached the seventeenth floor, it caused a great sensation.
Most of the eighty-four realm lords in the Primal Secret Realm are currently at the seventeenth level. This means that Ye Muxuan has only cultivated in Chaos City for over three thousand years to reach the average level of the Primal Secret Realm. If we also consider his cultivation time and resources, Ye Muxuan has far surpassed these geniuses.
Moreover, Ye Muxuan, under immense pressure, improved his skills in the heat of battle and successfully gained the recognition of the Time Origin Law. His progress was almost visible to the naked eye, and it was foreseeable that he would successfully pass the eighteenth level, which was already considered top-tier among the Primordial Secret Realm Masters.
