"Today, I, Xuandu..."
"In the name of the Human Race's Master, in the name of the Ancestor of Martial Dao, abolish the position of Taiqing Laozi Human Sect Master!"
"May humanity bear witness to this!!!"
As he uttered the last four words, Xuandu suddenly raised his hand and pressed it heavily into the void!
"Buzz!!!"
The Martial Dao Heavenly Stele suddenly shone brightly!
The two characters "Martial Arts" on the monument shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
The Chaos Color Martial Dao True Meaning soared into the sky, completely merging with the crimson-gold pillar of Human Race Will!
Within the pillar of light, the Chaos Rune that had been violently trembling and on the verge of collapse under the Heavenly Dao Pressure suddenly... stabilized!
Not only is it stable.
Furthermore, under the infusion of the Human Race Will, it solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye... in a frenzied manner!
"Boom!"
At this moment, the entire Great Wilderness Land... trembled slightly!
It was not Heavenly Dao Shakes.
Rather... it's about Human Dao Resonance!
On the East Sea Coast, Myriad Human Race simultaneously looked up to the sky and roared!
"May humanity bear witness to this!!!"
The roar is like the sea, the Will like the Tide!
A faint crimson-gold light shone on each Human Race.
That was the Blood Qi Light accumulated over a hundred years of martial arts practice, a manifestation of their Unbending Will!
Billions of rays of light converged, transforming into a crimson-gold torrent ten times thicker and a hundred times more vast than before, soaring into the sky and crashing fiercely into the enormous Heavenly Dao Eye!
"Buzz!"
The Heavenly Dao Eye trembled slightly.
For the first time, a clear flicker of emotion appeared in his eyes.
That was extreme anger.
The Great Wilderness world should have been jointly governed by the Heaven Earth Human Three Daos.
But the Heavenly Dao was the first to recover, so it has been suppressing the Earth Dao and the Human Way.
Unexpectedly, Xuandu is now forcibly reviving humanity.
" Xuandu... you're asking for death!!!"
Laozi could no longer maintain my placid composure!
His face was ashen, purple energy swirled wildly in his eyes, Wu Wei Dao Rhyme around him crumbled inch by inch, revealing the anger and... terror that had been suppressed for countless years!
He could feel it clearly.
The connection between myself and the Human Race is rapidly weakening!
It wasn't stripped away.
Instead... it was actively rejected and severed by the Human Race Will!
Myriad Human Race resonated with their Martial Dao Will, manifesting the Blood Qi Light, and together issued that earth-shaking petition.
May humanity take heed!
Depose Taiqing Laozi from his position as Human Sect Master!
This is not the will of Xuandu alone.
This is the common will of Myriad Myriad Human Race!
It's humanity... in response!
Seeing this, Xuandu felt no joy whatsoever.
Humanity may have been shaken by the resonance of the Human Race Will, showing signs of revival, but so what?
Above the heavens, the Heavenly Dao Eye still stands indifferently.
Since the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao has been fully revived, wielding immense power over the Great Wilderness.
How could we sit idly by and watch humanity awaken right under our noses?
really.
"Buzz..."
The Heavenly Dao Eye turned slightly.
His eyes held neither sorrow nor joy, yet an invisible ripple quietly spread, silently sweeping across the entire East Sea Coast.
Wherever the ripples passed, the Crimson Gold Will Torrent that had been boiling with the Human Dao Resonance was frozen solid!
On the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, the brilliance of the two characters "Martial Arts" suddenly dimmed by three points.
Beneath the monument, Myriad Human Race felt an indescribable sense of suffocation rising from the depths of their souls, as if they were bound by billions of shackles, making even the circulation of their Blood Qi difficult and slow.
What made Xuandu's heart sink even more was...
He clearly sensed that the Martial Dao Law Prototype within his body, which was about to fully take shape, was now rapidly slowing down in its condensation speed!
The Heavenly Dao has been broken.
It was neither a thunderous suppression nor a crushing blow by the laws of nature, but rather the forceful suppression of Human Dao Will by the Heavenly Dao Power, delaying the condensation of Martial Dao Law.
This is more ruthless and decisive than a direct attack.
It does not destroy the laws, but it prevents the laws from ever taking shape.
"Oh..."
Xuandu chuckled softly, his eyes swirling with Chaos Radiance like a flowing river of stars.
Does Heavenly Dao think this will stop him?
That's too naive.
"The laws... are not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao."
Xuandu slowly raised his head, staring directly at the Heavenly Dao Eye, each word clear and distinct:
" The Martial Dao Law are my own creation, based on humanity, grounded in strength, and centered on combat."
"This path... is governed by the Great Dao!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuandu no longer hesitated.
The Hunyuan Power within his body erupted with a deafening roar!
"Boom!!!"
An unprecedented Chaos Color Dao Light shot up from Xuandu's body, breaking through the blockade of the Heavenly Dao Will and piercing straight into the Nine Heavens!
Xuandu's clothes fluttered wildly, his black hair danced wildly, his eyes gleamed like lightning, and his voice shook the Great Wilderness.
" The Great Dao is supreme!"
As the four words were uttered, the world suddenly fell silent.
Even the Heavenly Dao Eye paused slightly, a clear... solemnity appearing in its eyes for the first time.
The Great Dao.
That is Supreme Existence that transcends the Heavenly Dao, the source of all laws and rules in the Great Wilderness.
The Heavenly Dao governs order, while the Great Dao gives birth to all laws.
Xuandu... actually intends to directly invoke the Great Dao?
"Today, I, Xuandu, have created my own Martial Dao Law to pave the path of cultivation for the Human Race and seek opportunities for Transcendence."
Xuandu's voice grew louder and louder, each word seemingly imprinted in the void, evoking a resonance in the Netherworld:
" Martial Dao Practitioner Temper Oneself, tap into their Unleash Potential their foundation on Blood Qi and blood, use their will as their edge, and prove their path through fighting spirit."
"This path Not Relying on External Objects, nor on the Heavenly Dao; it only relies on self-reliance, and only through battle can one be invincible."
With each word he spoke, the Martial Dao Law Prototype within his body trembled, emanating an increasingly pure and sharp Daoist aura.
That is a path completely different from the existing cultivation system of the Great Wilderness.
Without cultivating the Primordial Spirit, without comprehending the Heavenly Dao, only Body Tempering, only honing the will, only seeking... to break all laws with martial arts!
May the Great Dao bear witness!
Xuandu practically roared out the last five words.
The sound waves were like thunderclaps from eternity, exploding in every corner of the Great Wilderness.
"Buzz..."
In the Netherworld, a vast, ancient, and all-powerful will... quietly descended.
There was no pressure.
No unusual phenomena were observed.
There wasn't even any real perception.
At that moment, all living beings, whether Sage or ants, felt something and involuntarily looked up at the void.
Looking towards that... ineffable existence.
The Great Dao!
It's here.
For the first time... the Heavenly Dao Eye slowly closed.
It wasn't a retreat, but rather... awe.
Before the Great Dao, even the Heavenly Dao, which governs the Great Wilderness Order, must bow its head.
In the void, an invisible gaze fell upon Xuandu.
It landed on the nascent Martial Dao Law Prototype was about to take shape.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Myriad Human Race held their breath.
The Three Pure Ones gazed intently.
The Saints remained silent.
Only Xuandu stood tall, his gaze as firm as an ancient Panshi.
He's waiting.
Waiting for the response from the Great Dao.
One breath.
Ten breaths.
One hundred breaths.
Just when everyone thought that the Great Dao would not respond and that the matter would end without a trace.
"Boom!!!"
An indescribable, Great Dao aura descended from the Netherworld, pouring into the Martial Dao Law Prototype within Xuandu's body!
