Rumble!

Amid a tremendous roar, the vast Merit Golden Cloud, carrying the treasure within it, descended into Huang Tian's palm.

"Innate Supreme Treasure, Human Emperor Sword!"

In an instant, Huang Tian understood everything.

[Human Emperor Sword: Born in response to destiny; unmatched in offense and defense. Grade: Innate Supreme Treasure.]

To Huang Tian's surprise, the Human Emperor Sword could continuously absorb Human Race Destiny and Martial Dao Destiny, steadily raising its grade.

"That makes sense. After all, this is a Martial Dao treasure."

His gaze sharp, Huang Tian spoke calmly.

The existence of Martial Dao was comparable to Immortal Dao.

Laozi founded the Human Teaching, Tongtian founded the Interception Sect, Yuanshi founded the Chan Teaching, and Jieyin and Zhunti founded the Buddhist Sect. In essence, they were no different from Immortal Dao and Martial Dao; they were simply a tier below.

Even so, Laozi and the others could still prove themselves Sages through the destiny gained by founding great sects.

So it was hardly surprising that Martial Dao had received a treasure of its own in response to destiny—and one that could grow, at that.

"It looks like I need to spread Martial Dao throughout the Prehistoric World as soon as possible."

"The more living beings cultivate Martial Dao, the more Martial Dao Destiny I'll gain, and the more Martial Dao Destiny the Human Emperor Sword will be able to absorb."

"In theory, even if only thirty percent of the living beings in the Prehistoric World cultivate Martial Dao, that will be enough to advance the Human Emperor Sword to the level of a Chaos Spirit Treasure."

"Hm, what's this?"

With that thought, Huang Tian was about to put away the Human Emperor Sword and finish what he had been doing when something unexpected happened.

The Human Emperor Sword radiated domineering golden light. A frenzied law surged into Huang Tian's Nascent Soul, passing through the Kongtong Seal without the slightest obstruction.

In an instant, Huang Tian felt that all the laws he had previously comprehended—including the Emperor Dao Laws, which governed countless other laws—were gone.

More precisely, the laws Huang Tian had comprehended had not disappeared. They had all been integrated into a single, perfectly blended law, without the slightest rejection between them.

"Imperial Dao Laws? The supreme laws that can embrace all things and completely reconcile any opposing laws!"

Huang Tian couldn't contain his delight.

Put simply, water and fire were incompatible, but the Imperial Dao Laws could make them blend perfectly.

In theory, the greatest challenge for most living beings who sought to prove the Dao with laws was figuring out how to fuse different laws together.

The more laws they fused, the farther they advanced along the path of laws, the higher their corresponding cultivation realm, and the greater their strength.

Who said Pangu was just a brute who knew nothing but the Great Dao of Strength?

He had mastered all Three Thousand Laws, then used overwhelming strength to overcome every technique and shatter every law.

Huang Tian didn't know whether Pangu had ever cultivated the Imperial Dao.

But he knew that cultivating the Imperial Dao would bring countless benefits.

Still, aside from perfectly fusing various laws, Huang Tian would have to slowly discover what other benefits the Imperial Dao offered.

"Transform the world, establish the Martial Dao's order, gather!"

After putting away the Human Emperor Sword, the blood and qi surging around Huang Tian grew even more violent.

Forming one seal after another, Huang Tian drew in more Earth Vein Power, continuously tempering the twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets.

Soon, the twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets rose into the air on their own, transformed into streaks of light, and landed at twelve different locations at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Twelve booming vibrations rang out in succession, like the tolling of bells.

The twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets seemed to have been part of the Buzhou Pillar since time immemorial, complementing it perfectly.

The illustrations of True Martial Dao Intent carved on the tablets were so vivid that any living being could comprehend Martial Dao from them.

They could even learn the Method of Natal Divine Weapons, which allowed one to nurture a natal weapon through Martial Dao.

Innate Spiritual Treasures were few and far between. Even Quasi-Saints would fight tooth and nail for a high-grade one, let alone living beings below the Daluo realm.

The method of nurturing a natal weapon through Martial Dao could even be used with a crudely crafted Post-natal Bronze Spirit Treasure. Its power simply wouldn't match the treasures Huang Tian crafted himself.

Even so, with a natal weapon, Martial Dao Combat Techniques, and Martial Dao Divine Abilities, countless living beings now had a chance to change their fates.

Next, all that remained was to let living beings know about the twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets and the benefits of studying them.

In time, Martial Dao might stand as an equal to Immortal Dao—or even replace it.

Huang Tian wasn't worried that cultivators of Immortal Dao would destroy the Martial Dao Stone Tablets.

They had been tempered with a vast amount of Great Dao Merit and linked to the Pangu Will and Earth Vein Power.

No one below the Sages could break the Martial Dao Stone Tablets.

A Sage might be able to destroy them, but the karmic backlash would be enough to kill a Sage of Immortal Dao on the spot.

"My heavens, what kind of cultivation method is this? Even someone with my level of aptitude can comprehend it so easily?"

"Bull Strength Technique? If I cultivate it to a high level, can I become a Daluo?"

"The Shenzhao Sutra is a Martial Dao method that leads straight to Daluo. It's perfect for our Grey Crane clan!"

"Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for this gift!"

"We pay our respects to the supreme Martial Ancestor!"

Meanwhile, the twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets soon drew in living beings from many different races.

Each of them comprehended the Martial Dao method best suited to their race. Overjoyed, they cried out in delight as if they had found priceless treasures.

The Martial Dao Stone Tablets did not lie within the range of the Pangu Will at Buzhou Mountain. Instead, they were scattered across twelve locations in the eastern part of the Prehistoric World.

That was why countless low-level living beings were able to discover them at once.

Some powerful beings tried to seize the Martial Dao Stone Tablets and use them as treasures to protect their clans.

Anyone who unleashed slaughter within a billion li of a Martial Dao Stone Tablet was slain by it.

Quasi-Saints could withstand its attacks—but then the Great Dao Lightning Method would strike.

You've got to be kidding!

The Martial Dao Stone Tablets drew on the Pangu Will, Earth Vein Power, Martial Dao Destiny, Human Race Destiny, and Great Dao Merit. They had even been made from the Buzhou Pillar itself. Their buffs were maxed out!

One move, not a peep—because they were all dead.

After that lesson, the countless living beings obediently studied the Martial Dao methods. Some even supported one another and discussed the Dao, helping Martial Dao spread even faster.

"Outrageous!"

"Which ignorant fool dares to flaunt this crude, unorthodox path? You deserve to die!"

At Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi sensed something, investigated it, and discovered Martial Dao. He was furious.

He considered himself part of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, yet even he had no right to teach the masses. How dare someone else spread Martial Dao? Naturally, Yuanshi viewed it with hostility.

"Second Brother, you're wrong."

"Martial Dao has a low barrier to entry, offers rapid progress, and has great potential. It gives countless living beings a chance to survive. What a tremendous act of kindness!"

"When chaos first emerged, the Three Thousand Demon Gods each flourished in their own way."

Hearing this, Tongtian immediately challenged Yuanshi's anger.

"Is that so?"

"Then let me see what makes this Martial Dao so special!"

With a cold snort, Yuanshi attacked without hesitation.

Unleashing boundless magical power, Yuanshi wielded the Pangu Banner and sent it hurtling across an immense distance toward one of the Martial Dao Stone Tablets.

The Pangu Banner was one of the Three Innate Supreme Treasures, transformed from the blade of the Pangu Heaven-Opening Axe.

It was universally acknowledged in the Prehistoric World as the strongest single-target attack. It could tear apart chaos, shatter spacetime, and destroy all laws—a pure pinnacle of slaughter.

With fifty restrictions, the Pangu Banner could let even an early-stage Quasi-Saint fight and defeat a late-stage Quasi-Saint.

And Yuanshi was a Quasi-Saint Peak. With the Pangu Banner in hand, he was practically one of the three strongest beings below the Sages.

But just as the Pangu Banner descended toward a Martial Dao Stone Tablet, an unforeseen change suddenly occurred!
