Dao Mark

The next moment.

Where their gazes converged, nine pairs of eyes, each imbued with a different supreme Dao Rhythm, simultaneously revealed an expression of disbelief and horror.

Where Chen Fan sat cross-legged, a huge, exaggerated vortex that covered almost half of the area was slowly rotating.

The viscous, liquid-like, seven-colored Origin Power seemed to transform into a torrent flowing into the sea, pouring into his small body in a domineering yet harmonious manner.

Even the precious Law Fragments that were originally floating freely in the sky were drawn by that invisible force, and like billions of fireflies, they involuntarily circled around him, making him look like a god born from chaos!

Dead silence.

Absolute silence.

The nine Prodigies and the nine energy vortexes all stopped at the same time.

They stared blankly at the unbelievable scene, their minds momentarily blank.

This is... what kind of commotion could a Sixth Grade Undying Realm cause?

This absorption efficiency, this fundamental foundation...

Perhaps he harbors a universe within his body!

"Oh..."

The first to break the silence was the young man carrying a sword from the Ancient Martial Arts School.

He was stunned for a moment, then grinned and whistled loudly. There was no jealousy in his eyes, only pure admiration and an increasingly fervent fighting spirit.

"Interesting, fucking interesting!"

The aloof woman from the Elemental Faction now had a deep curiosity and amusement in her usually cool eyes.

They felt no fear, nor any envy.

Under the astonished gaze of the nine top Prodigies, Chen Fan remained oblivious to everything around him, immersed in the exhilarating feeling of his rapidly increasing strength.

With a massive influx of Origin Power, the nine thousand drops of Life-and-Death Dao Blood within his body, like parched land receiving sweet rain, began to undergo an unprecedented transformation.

At that very moment, a faint aura of Dao Principles, transcending the realm of the Undying Realm, emanated from his body.

That faint trace of Dao Principles, like ice water dripping into boiling oil, instantly exploded in the hearts of the nine Star River Level Prodigies.

The Immortal Realm!

The threshold of the Seventh Grade Immortal Realm!

These nine individuals were all exceptional Dragon Among Men, each dominating an era within their respective schools of thought.

It took them anywhere from several decades to nearly a century to even reach that threshold.

But what about Chen Fan?

How long have you been enrolled?

From a newcomer who has just entered the Undying Realm, they have reached the starting point they once dreamed of!

"Monster..."

The aloof woman from the Elemental Faction had her red lips slightly parted, her expression somewhat complicated.

Nine gazes, nine distinctly different supreme Dao Rhythm, yet at this moment, they all contained the same emotion...

Horrifying!!

However, Chen Fan, at the Center of the Storm, seemed oblivious to everything happening around him.

His mind was clearer than ever before.

Master Lin Xuanqing's seemingly mad teachings now resonated deep within his Divine Soul like a morning bell and evening drum.

"Ordinary Martial Artists can only achieve immortality by visualizing the universe and all things within their bodies, forging an indestructible mark to embody their own path!"

"But the Dao of my Life School is to master life and death! If you wish to forge Dao Mark, you must forge the strongest Dao Mark!"

The words of advice from his senior Senior Fellow Apprentice Wen Yuan, also came to mind.

"Junior Fellow Apprentice, the Dao Mark is the foundation of the Seventh Grade. The stronger and more magnificent this mark is, the further one can go in the future. One wrong step leads to another, so you must not be impatient for quick success."

Don't be impatient for quick results.

Chen Fan's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

He felt this Origin Ancient Realm, felt the earth beneath his feet formed from the purest Origin Source, felt the endless Law Fragments floating in the air, and felt the ancient pulse that came from the beginning of the universe.

Isn't this the best place for all things in heaven and earth?

Isn't this the most perfect Dao Mark embryo?

A thought, like wild grass, grew wildly and could no longer be contained.

Right here!

Right now!

Breaking through to the Seventh Grade Immortal Realm!

The moment this decision settled in his heart, Chen Fan completely released the suppression of the Life-and-Death Furnace within his Dantian.

"Boom!!"

If the previous energy vortex was an undercurrent beneath the deep sea, then now it has transformed into an apocalyptic storm tearing the sea surface apart!

His composure has vanished completely!

Instead, a raging ferocity devoured the heavens and the earth!

Centered on Chen Fan, the enormous vortex no longer expanded silently, but roared deafeningly as it swept outwards madly.

The entire Origin Ancient Realm's Sea of Origin Source was completely boiling over. The viscous, seven-colored energy transformed into towering waves, which were pulled by an irresistible gravitational force and collapsed madly toward the single center point!

"Oh no! Retreat!"

The young man from the Ancient Martial Arts School, carrying a sword, changed his expression drastically and was the first to withdraw and retreat.

The other eight reacted just as quickly. A violent energy tide rushed towards them, and they had to activate their strongest protective Dao Principles to barely maintain their footing in the storm, retreating again and again until they were a hundred miles away.

The nine people stood still, looking at the chaotic vortex in the distance that seemed to swallow the entire sky, and completely gave up the idea of cultivation.

Their faces were blank.

"This... this is a sixth-rank advancement to Seventh Grade?!"

The young man carrying the sword swallowed hard, his knuckles white from gripping the Sword Hilt so tightly. He muttered to himself absentmindedly.

"Why do I have this feeling that someone is going to prove their Martial God here?"

One sentence sent a chill down the spines of the other eight people.

Yes, this extraordinary phenomenon has completely exceeded their understanding of breakthroughs in cultivation levels.

What exactly is his foundation made of?

The burly man from the New Martial Arts School, whose half-body was mechanized, had data flashing wildly in his eyes, but he was completely unable to calculate the result.

"In my opinion, this vortex will eventually cover about a third of this realm."

The woman from the Elemental Faction analyzed the situation calmly, but she couldn't hide the shock in her voice.

"One-third? Who do you think you are?"

The young man carrying the sword scoffed.

"At least half!"

Everyone had their own opinion, but each guess represented a ruthless subversion of the common sense of Martial Dao.

In the end, everyone's eyes turned to Wen Yuan.

As Chen Fan's fellow Senior Fellow Apprentice, Wen Yuan should be the one who understands the monster's limits best in their eyes.

Wen Yuan's expression was incredibly complex at that moment.

On that gentle, jade-like face, there was both pride and a wry smile, a hint of sympathy for his junior Junior Fellow Apprentice's ability to cause trouble.

He met eight probing gazes, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a series of heavy hammer blows, striking everyone's hearts hard.

"You..."

"You're all wrong."

Under the gaze of eight pairs of bewildered eyes, Wen Yuan stared at the energy center that had turned the world into a chaotic mess, a glint of light flashing in his eyes that even he himself found insane.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, revealing that earth-shattering guess.

"My Junior Fellow Apprentice..."

"He's not trying to absorb a lot of energy from this Ancient Realm..."

"He intended to use this entire Origin Ancient Realm as a blank for a seal..."

"He forged his own, first Immortal Dao Mark!"
